Ongoing projects
1. Development of a new methodology based on transition metal K-edge XMCD for the quantification of small structural distortions
The small structural distortions of the A-NC-B (A,B = transition metals; Figure) linkage seem to control the photomagnetic properties of PBAs. These distortions are however too small for any quantification by classicalt techniques of structural characterization. I am working on a new methodology based on X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the K-edge of transition metals to quantify these small distortions of the cyanide bridge. This requires the systematic investigation of non-photomagnetic model PBAs
- to establish the quantitative relationship between the XMCD signal and the structural distortions, and
- to disentangle the physical effects originating the Transition metals K-edge XXMCD signals.
When the methodology is established, it will be applied to the investigation of photomagnetic PBAs in order to control their properties and tranfer their working temperature at room temperature.
This project is supported by an Young Researchers ANR (2018-2023) and described in more details here. in more details here.
Techniques : XAS (Transmission and HERFD) and XMCD at the K-edge of transition metals(Fame-UHD @ ESRF, SAMBA, DIFFABS and ODE @ SOLEIL beamlines)
2. Investigation of the photomagnetism of CoFe Prussian Blue analogues
In the yCoFe (X = alkali cation, y = 0-4) PBAs, a pressure-, thermally- and/or photoinduced charge transfer can be observed depending on the stoichiometry. In general, PBAs with 2 alkali cations per unit cell (X2Co4[Fe(CN)6]3.3) always present photomagnetic properties at low temperature, but depending on the alkali cation nature, this photoinduced charge transfer can be successive to a thermally-induced one. For a given alkali cation, the inserted quantity per unit cell adjust this charge transfer : the Cs2CoFe and Cs0.7CoFe PBAs both present a photoinduced charge transfer at low temperature, but in the case of Cs0.7CoFe, a first thermally-induced charge transfer is observed (Figure). Some of these were also successfully synthesized as nanoparticles (~5 nm); in the case of the Rb2CoFe PBA, despite differences in the ground states of each kinfd of particles, the photomagnetic property is retained at the nanoscale. All these previsous studies thus enables to empirically identify the photomagnetic PBA, but oddly these charge-transfer properties are still badly understood.
Therefore I lead fundamental investigations of these photomagnetic properties in order to understand :
- the role of the alkali cation in the charge-transfer properties,
- the key-parameters to control photomagnetism and the charge-transfer temperature,
- the effect of the particles size reduction on the photomagnetic properties.
Techniques : XAS (Transmission andHERFD) at the K-edge of transition metals and the the edges of alkali cations (BM20 @ ESRF, SAMBA and LUCIA @ SOLEIL beamlines)
3. Synthesis of mixed oxides from Prussian Blue analogues
It is well-known that the properties of oxides are controlled by their stoichiometry and synthesis route. A synthesis way reproducible and offering a perfect control of the stoichiometry is so a key-element for the successful development of functional oxides. The calcination in air of PBAs is an appealing route: the PBA stoichiometry is indeed perfectly controlled during by its synthesis, with an homogeneous repartition of the transition metals. The calcination of the CoII4[CoIII(CN)6]2.7 PBA into Co3O4 was first investigated; it lead to the first in situ site-selective XANES experiments, performed to characterize the evolutio of each Co ion type present in the PBA and the Co3O4 spinel. The current studies concentrate on the mixed Co4[Fe(CN)6]2.7 PBA and the formation of the Co1.8Fe1.2O4 spinel (Figure). The different steps of the calcination process were described by TDA/TGA analyses and ex situ powder X-ray diffraction. The synthesis route was then enlarged to the formation of oxides with a controlled stoichiometry between Co1.8Fe1.2O4 and Co3O4 as well as the formation of oxides nanoparticles.
In the framework of this project, my task is to complete the laboratory investigation by in situ XAS measurements of the calcination process in order to finely characterize the oxidation states and local structure of the Fe and Co ions during the calcniation and in the final phase.
