Multiferroic polycrystalline BiFe1-xMnxO3(0≤x≤0.3) thin films have been prepared on the Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition method. The influence of Mn substitution on the electronic structure and magnetic properties has been studied. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy shows that Mn substitution slightly modulates crystal structure of the BiFe1-xMnxO3system within the same structural phase. According to FeLedge X ray absorption spectroscopy, Fe ions are found to be formally trivalent for doping amountxin BiFe1-xMnxO3. The enhanced magnetization by increasing Mn content is attributed to an alternation degree of hybridization between Fe 3d-O 2pand Mn 3d-O 2porbitals, basing on the carefully examined FeLand OKedge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The crystal structural and the electronic structural results show a causal relation between them by demonstrating intrinsic mutual dependence between respective variations.

AbstractThe choice of surrogate for plutonium oxide for use during the initial stages of research into the immobilization of intermediate level pyrochemical wastes containing plutonium andamericium oxides in a calcium phosphate host has been investigated by powder X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Two non-radioactive surrogates, hafnium oxide and cerium oxide, together with radioactive thorium oxide were compared. Similarities in behaviour were observed for all three surrogates when calcined at the lowest temperature, 750°C but differences became more pronounced as the calcination temperature was increased to 950°C. Although some reaction occurred between all the surrogates and the host to form a substituted whitlockite phase, increasing the temperature led to a significant increase in the cerium reaction and the formation of an additional phase, monazite. Additionally it was observed that the cerium became increasingly trivalent at higher temperatures.
