Iron-Containing Intermetallic Compounds and Complex Oxides: Properties of Bulk and Oxidized Surfaces (A04)

• Subject Area: Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis ; Physical Chemistry of Solids and Surfaces, Material Characterisation
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 443703006

The project focuses on the synthesis of selected compounds to investigate iron-specific, traceable properties in intermetallic and oxidized phases. In particular, the investigation of reactivity concerning structural defects with a bearing on catalytic processes are at the center of these research efforts. In-depth characterization methods include in situ XRD, LT-Mössbauer spectroscopy, thermal analysis, magnetization and specific heat measurements, and are central to the proposed work packages.
