Abstract:
Anisotropy of bulk magnetic properties and magnetic structure studies of a Tb2Pd2In single crystal by means of bulk magnetization methods and neutron diffraction techniques confirmed the antiferromagnetic order below the Néel temperature 29.5 K. The collinear magnetic structure of Tb magnetic moments aligned along the tetragonalc-axis is characterized by a propagation vectork= (1/4, 1/4, 1/2), yielding an equal-moment structure with alternating coupling between nearest as well as next-nearest Tb neighbors within the basal plane and antiferromagnetic coupling between thec-axis neighbors. In the context of magnetism of R2T2X compounds, where R stands for rare-earth or actinide element, such collinear structure with long-wavelength periodicity represents a new type of magnetic structure.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

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...
