The search for affordable high performance electrode materials in photoelectrochemical
hydrogen production by solar water splitting is an ongoing quest. Hematite is a photoanode …

The comparison of the structural and magnetic properties of molecular nanomagnets (MNM)
and magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) can be instructive to get a deeper understanding of the …

A surfactant-and template-free approach is described for the synthesis of mesoporous α-
Fe2O3, Fe3O4 and α-Fe nanowires (NWs). In this approach, α-FeOOH NWs (length 550 nm …

The current status and future developments of the use of electron magnetic resonance
(EMR) for the investigation of magnetic nano-systems is here reviewed. The aim is to …

The occurrence of highly severe silica-related diseases among the resin-and silica-based
artificial stone workers was claimed, associated to an extremely short latency. High levels of …

To augment current methods for the evaluation of reinforcing bar (rebar) corrosion within
concrete, we are exploring unique features in the dielectric and magnetic spectra of pure …

The heat capacity of a 13nm hematite (α-Fe2O3) sample was measured from T=(1.5 to 350)
K using a combination of semi-adiabatic and adiabatic calorimetry. The heat capacity was …

We report the results of an experimental multianalytical characterisation of industrial
cristobalite powders, used as raw materials for artificial stone production. Cristobalite is …

The constant pressure heat capacity of a bulk hematite powder was measured using a
Quantum Design physical properties measurement system (PPMS). The results of two series …

The thermodynamic properties of hydrated α-Fe2O3 (hematite) and Fe3O4 (magnetite)
nanoparticles have been comprehensively assessed. In addition to 9 nm Fe3O4, three α …
