Ceria is a widely known photocatalyst, to clearly understand the effects of oxygen vacancies
(OVs) distribution on photocatalytic performance of ceria, surface and bulk OVs have been …

To use efficiently the magnetic functionalities emerging at the surfaces or interfaces of novel
lanthanides-based materials, there is a need for complementary methods to probe the …

Valence transition could induce structural, insulator-metal, nonmagnetic-magnetic and
superconducting transitions in rare-earth metals and compounds, while the underlying …

We present a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) study across the temperature (T)
driven γ-α transition in Ce 0.93 Sc 0.07. RIXS measurements across the Ce M 5 edge …

The ternary rare-earth metal fluoride CsEuF 3 adopts an ideal cubic perovskite structure
[ABX 3] under ambient conditions. The B-cation site is occupied by the rare-earth Eu ion and …

We have investigated the Ce valence of an intermetallic compound Ce 2 Rh 2 Ga with a
phase transition at T t= 128.5 K by means of high-energy resolution fluorescence-detected x …

作为国家重大科技基础设施“十三五” 规划重点建设的项目之一, 目前, 高能同步辐射光源已经在
北京怀柔科学城开始建设, 项目目标是建设具有极低发射度, 重点覆盖高能区(约300 keV) …

Using density functional theory (DFT) and linear response approaches, we compute the on-
site Hubbard interaction $ U $ of elemental Terbium (Tb) metal in the pressure range $\sim 0 …

The lanthanide series, officially known as the lanthanoid series, consists of the elements
from lanthanum to lutetium. The atomic electronic configurations involve the filling of the 4 f …

Herein, a simple thermodynamic approach using the Helmholtz free energy is proposed to
estimate the noninteger valence in Ce‐based compounds at the γ→ α phase transition. The …
