Abstract:
We present the results of the effect of Fe intercalation on the structural, transport and magnetic properties of 1T-VSe(2). Intercalation of iron suppresses the charge density wave transition at 110 K in 1T-VSe(2). And for more than 10% Fe concentration a new kind of first-order transition appears below 160 K in our resistivity results. The transition becomes stronger with a broad hysteresis (80-160 K) for 33% Fe intercalation. The anomalies are absent in the thermopower measurements of polycrystalline Fe(x)VSe(2) compounds (x = 0-0.33). The susceptibility measurements between 2 and 300 K and the magnetization in a high magnetic field up to 14 T at 2 K are reported. The Fe atoms are in the low-spin ( S = 1/2) state of Fe(3+) and the compounds show the absence of any magnetic order at low temperatures.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
