Artigo IPEN-doc 30651 Synthesis of the metavanadate CaV2O6 by the sol-gel method and the characterization by X-ray diffraction and time-differential perturbed gamma-gamma angular correlation techniques2024 - MAZIVIERO, R.; PEREIRA, L.F.D.; BURIMOVA, A.; MIRANDA-FILHO, A.A.; PEREIRA, A.S.; SAXENA, R.N.; CARBONARI, A.W.Artigo IPEN-doc 30205 Cobalt doping effects in zinc oxide2024 - PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.D.; FERREIRA, WANDERSON L.; CORREA, BRUNO S.; COSTA, MESSIAS S.; COSTA, CLEIDILANE S.; FILHO, ARNALDO A.M.; SALES, TATIANE S.N.; BOSCH-SANTOS, BRIANNA; SCHELL, JULIANA; BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; SAXENA, RAJENDRA N.; CABRERA-PASCA, GABRIEL A.; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.In this paper, we investigate the solubility effects of Co in ZnO (Zn1−xCoxO, where x = 0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.4, 0.8, and 1) by combining the results of perturbed angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy using highly diluted 111Cd as probe nuclei and ab initio calculations based on spin-density functional theory (SDFT). This combined approach enables us to characterize the local structure around Cd ions, where, through PAC technique, it was possible to measure the EFG as a function of temperature and Co concentration and thereby monitor the changes in the structure and the Co solubility threshold in ZnO and the ZnO/CoO/Co3O4 mixed phase. The full-potential linear augmented plane wave plus local orbital (APW+lo) formalism were used here to describe the electronic structure of the supercells, including the atomic relaxations. These Ab initio calculations show an interesting behavior of the Cd and Co impurity levels in the band structure of ZnO, which explains the experimental results in terms of the origin of EFG and the evidence of ferromagnetic response.Artigo IPEN-doc 29041 Local crystalline structure of doped semiconductor oxides characterized by perturbed angular correlations2022 - BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.; LIMA, NICOLE P. de; MIRANDA FILHO, ARNALDO A.; SOUZA, ALEXANDRE P. dos S.; SALES, TATIANE da S.N.; FERREIRA, WANDERSON L.; PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.D.; CORREA, BRUNO S.; SAXENA, RAJENDRA N.Doping semiconductor oxides with trace amounts of non-native elements can improve their properties such as bandgap and conductivity. The lack of local techniques makes the precise characterization of these materials difficult. Among the few techniques capable of providing local characterization, those based on hyperfine interactions at probe nuclei have the advantage of being well established, probing the material homogeneously and completely, thus investigating different regions of material. Some of these techniques are also quite sensitive even at extremely low dopant concentrations. The perturbed angular correlation technique, combined with first-principles calculations, has recently been shown to be a powerful method for characterizing doped semiconductor oxides. In this paper, we present a brief review of the unique information extracted from the semiconductor investigation with such a complex approach, including semiconductor oxides doped with cadmium and other elements. A strong relationship between the local environment, including electronic structure, and the nature of the dopant and the native element of the doped oxides is also shown.Resumo IPEN-doc 28753 DFT-based Calculations of the Magnetic Hyperfine Interactions at Cd Sites in RECd Compounds with the FP-LAPW ELK Code2020 - SCALISE, LEVY; BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.; FERREIRA, WANDERSON; SALES, TATIANE; GONÇALVES, VITOR; CABRERA-PASCA, GABRIEL; SAXENA, RAJENDRA N.; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.In this work we tested the methodology to map magnetic hyperfine interactions in strongly correlated materials using a free open-source all-electron FP-LAPW code ELK. The RECd (RE = Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) series was chosen as a laboratory system, since an almost complete set of experimental data on the hyperfine parameters at Cd sites in these compounds was acquired previously with an extremely sensitive TDPAC technique [1]. Moreover, these TDPAC results were complemented with WIEN2k DFT calculations that allow a qualitative comparison of the two codes. The ELK calculations were performed with PBE96 GGA-type exchange-correlation functional, the cases of scalar relativistic approximation and fully relativistic relaxation of the states were treated separately. A dense k-mesh and adequate R(MT)K(max) were chosen in both cases to comply with the sensitivity of magnetic hyperfine parameters. We emphasize that the exploited version of ELK accounted for the contact field only. Yet, as it is the only contribution expected for Cd site in RECd, the values of B(hf), albeit generally overestimated, have shown reasonable agreement with the experiment (Fig. 1). Spin-orbit coupling taken into account led to a decrease in deviation from experimental data. An addition of the Hubbard-like term was essential to reach a tolerable result for CeCd. This behavior may be associated with a weaker localization of the 4f electron of Ce. Concerning the potential sources of discrepancy between our ELK results and those previously obtained with WIEN2k, (i) a different way of accounting for relativistic corrections, (ii) the use of GGA (our ELK study) versus LDA (previous WIEN2k study) and other details are discussed.Resumo IPEN-doc 28752 Synthesis and characterization of Fe3O4-HfO2 nanoparticles by magnetization and hyperfine interactions measurements2020 - MATOS, IZABELA T.; SALES, TATIANE S.; CABRERA-PASCA, GABRIEL; BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; SAXENA, RAJENDRA N.; PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.; OTUBO, LARISSA; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.Nanoparticles (NPs) that combine biocompatibility and enhanced physical characteristics for biomedical applications are currently an area of intense scientific research. Hafnium oxide NPs is an innovative approach in the anticancer treatment by radiotherapy due to their low toxicity and enhancement of local dose in the tumor reducing the total radiation dose for the patient [1]. The combination of this amazing property with the excellent magnetic hyperthermia performance of Fe3O4 NPs can produce a promising nanomaterial for cancer therapy. In the present work, we have synthesized NPs samples of Fe3O4 doped with 10%Hf and HfO2 doped with 10% Fe by chemical procedures. The samples had their morphological, structural, and magnetic properties characterized by some results being displayed in Fig. 1. The crystal structure of the samples was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), whose results present a single phase. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images show spherical and hexagonal NPs with an average size of 12 nm as displayed in Fig. 2. The magnetic property was investigated by magnetization measurement. The results from the temperature dependence of ZFC-FC magnetization show a large peak in the ZFC curve corresponding to a broad distribution of blocking temperatures as shown in Fig. 1(b). Fortunately, when irradiated with neutrons in a research reactor, the nuclear reaction 180Hf(n,γ)181Hf yields the probe nucleus 181Hf(181Ta) used by the perturbed angular correlations (PAC) technique to measure hyperfine interactions. Both samples show electric quadrupole interaction characteristics of the HfO2 phase indicating that the Fe replaces Hf in HfO2 NPs, but rather than substituting Fe, Hf form HfO2 NPs diluted in Fe3O4 NPs. Moreover, a pure time-dependent magnetic dipole interaction below 300 K was observed for Fe3O4 NPs mixed with 10% of HfO2.Resumo IPEN-doc 28751 Annealing effect on the structural and local magnetic properties of nickel ferrite nanoparticles studied by hyperfine interaction measurements2020 - RODRIGUES, PRISCILA S.; MATOS, IZABELA T.; SALES, TATIANE S.; BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; CABRERA-PASCA, GABRIEL; PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.; SAXENA, RAJENDRA N.; OTUBO, LARISSA; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.Nickel ferrite in the form of nanoparticles is a technologically important material that can be applied for the production of biosensors, catalysts, drug delivery, and magnetic resonance contrast agents. In this work NiFe O samples comprising spherical nanoparticles of ~6 nm in diameter have been synthesized via a thermal decomposition route. The quality control of the samples was carried out with conventional techniques including X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Post-synthesis XRD pattern revealed textured spinel NiFe O . Local magnetic properties were examined with Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlation (TDPAC) spectroscopy within the 12 - 773K temperature range with In( Cd) probe introduced into the samples at synthesis. Quasi-static magnetic properties were observed (including above room temperature), as expected due to the small time window of TDPAC. The TDPAC results shown in Fig. 1 were analyzed using a model with combined electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole interactions. An expressive dynamic interaction was observed upon heating after synthesis. A theoretical model based on the Brillouin function for different ionic moments was applied to study the evolution of the hyperfine magnetic field with temperature (see Fig. 1-2) and allowed to attribute the magnetic interaction to the probe location at Fe3+ site. Site occupancy and the interplay between magnetic and structural properties are discussed with respect to application perspectives.Resumo IPEN-doc 28750 Local inspection of magnetic properties in GdMnIn by measuring hyperfine interactions2020 - CABRERA-PASCA, G.A.; MAGNO, J.F.; FERREIRA, W.L.; CAMPOS, A.C.; BOSCH-SANTOS, B.; SALES, T.S.N.; PEREIRA, L.F.D.; BURIMOVA, A.; SAXENA, R.N.; FREITAS, R.S.; CARBONARI, A.W.GdMn2 is a member of a series of Laves phase containing a rare-earth element and a magnetic 3dtransition metal with very peculiar magnetic properties[1]. Doping with a non-magnetic element such as indium affects these properties[2,3]. GdMnIn is reported to crystalize in the hexagonal MgNi2-type structure presenting a spin-glass behavior with no magnetic order attributed to the triangular spin frustration of magnetic ions[3]. The observed absence of long-range interactions by magnetization measurements along with the almost impossible measurements with neutron diffraction due to the presence of Gd with very high neutron absorption cross section makes the investigation of local exchange interactions in this compound very difficult. In the present work, measurements of hyperfine interactions at In sites using 111In(111Cd) probe nuclei were carried out by perturbed angular correlations (PAC) technique to investigate the local magnetic exchange in GdMnIn compound. Results displayed in Fig. 1 for the behavior of the major component (Vzz) of the electric field gradient (efg) tensor and the distribution of electric quadrupole frequency () show a strong instability of the electronic environment of In sites when temperature decreases indicating a Mn-In disorder. The weak magnetic hyperfine field at In sites also shown in Fig.1 with an anomalous temperature dependence below around 140 K along with the increase in the angle between Bhf and Vzz directions suggest a weak long-range exchange interaction.Artigo IPEN-doc 28363 The effect of Er doping on local structure of magnetite nanoparticles2021 - RODRIGUES, PRISCILA S.; BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; SALES, TATIANE S.N.; FILHO, ARNALDO A.M.; OTUBO, LARISSA; SAXENA, RAJENDRA N.; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.In this work Fe3O4:Er nanoparticles (NPs) with the characteristic size of ~ 11 nm were synthesized via classic co-precipitation method. Electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were employed to probe the morphology and structure of the samples. Results revealed that samples synthesized in the Fd-3mZ structure with lattice constant close to that of pure magnetite. 111In probe generator was incorporated at synthesis in order to map the evolution of hyperfine magnetic field with temperature using time differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) spectroscopy. The TDPAC results are discussed in terms of the effect of Er dopant on the magnetic properties and local structure of the NPs.Artigo IPEN-doc 27768 DFT-based calculations of the magnetic hyperfine interactions at Cd sites in RCd (R = rare earth) compounds with the FP-LAPW ELK code2021 - MACIEL, L.S.; BURIMOVA, A.; PEREIRA, L.F.D.; FERREIRA, W.L.; SALES, T.S.N.; GONÇALVES, V.C.; CABRERA-PASCA, G.A.; SAXENA, R.N.; CARBONARI, A.W.In the work here reported, we have calculated magnetic hyperfine interactions in rare-earth (R) intermetallic compounds by using the free open-source all-electron ELK code. The RCd (R = Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) series was chosen as a test system because an almost complete set of experimental data on the hyperfine parameters at Cd sites was acquired through the time differential perturbed angular correlation (TDPAC) spectroscopy as previously reported. Moreover, results on magnetic hyperfine field (Bhf ) from WIEN2k code were also reported allowing a qualitative comparison analysis. We emphasize that the utilized version of ELK accounted for the contact field only. Yet, as it is the only contribution expected for Cd site in RCd compounds, the calculated Bhf values are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results. The Spin-orbit coupling when taken into account led to a decrease in deviation from experimental data. Addition, the Hubbard-like term was revealed crucial in order to make Bhf predictions for CeCd, suggesting that this behavior may be associated with a weaker 4f electron localization in Ce.Artigo IPEN-doc 27751 Synthesis and characterization of Fe3O4-HfO2 nanoparticles by hyperfine interactions measurements2021 - SALES, T.S.N.; BURIMOVA, A.; RODRIGUES, P.S.; MATOS, I.T.; CABRERA-PASCA, G.A.; SAXENA, R.N.; PEREIRA, L.F.D.; OTUBO, L.; CARBONARI, A.W.Nanoparticles (NPs) that combine biocompatibility and enhanced physical characteristics for biomedical applications are currently an area of intense scientific research. Hafnium oxide NPs are an innovative approach in the anticancer treatment by radiotherapy due to their low toxicity and enhancement of local dose in the tumor reducing the total radiation dose for the patient. The combination of this property with the excellent magnetic hyperthermia performance of Fe3O4 NPs can produce a promising nanomaterial for cancer therapy. In this work, we attempted to synthesize nanoscale samples of HfO2 doped with nominal 10 at.% Fe, and Fe3O4 doped with Hf at 10 at.% level using simple chemical routes. The crystal structure of the samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The material was irradiated with neutrons in a research reactor, the nuclear reaction 180Hf(n, γ)181Hf yielding the probe nucleus 181Hf(181Ta) used in the perturbed angular correlations experiments to measure hyperfine interactions. Despite their immediate response to the external magnetic field, at local level both samples showed only electric quadrupole interaction typical of the monoclinic hafnia indicating that Fe replaces Hf in HfO2 NPs, but, rather than substituting Fe, Hf enters magnetite in the form of HfO2 clusters. Transmission Electron Microscopy was exploited to study the morphology of these complex systems, as well as to localize hafnia clusters and understand the nature of their coupling to Fe3O4 specks.
