Study of magnetic properties of a new vanadate Cu13Fe4V10O44 Janusz Typek Institute of Physics, West Pomeranian University ofTechnology, Szczecin, Poland
Outline • Why new vanadate Cu13Fe4V10O44 • Sample preparation and chemistry • Measuring methods: dc magnetometry and EPR • Results of dc magnetization measurements • Results of EPR measurements • Conclusions about magnetic structure
Why to study Cu13Fe4V10O44 ? • Similar compounds from the same system of vanadates have important catalytic properties • Defect structure and grain surface play an important role in catalysis • Knowledge of magnetic defects and ions may lead to better understanding of the mechanism of the catalytic processes
