Abstract:
A comprehensive analysis of the magnetic properties, crystal structure and magnetic configuration of the ceramic BaFe12O19, prepared using the sol-gel method, was conducted over the temperature range from 4 K to room temperature. The impact of ambient pressure on the crystal and magnetic structures of ceramic BaFe12O19has enabled the determination of bulk modulusB0∼ 123.8 GPa and its first-order derivativeBp' ∼ 4.1, as well as the coefficients of linear compressibility of the lattice parameters for the hexagonal unit cell. The results of neutron diffraction collected at pressures ranging from 0.1 GPa to 5 GPa were analyzed in the framework of both centrosymmetric SG P63/mmc (No. 194) and non-centrosymmetric SG P63mc (No. 186). The decrease in the total magnetic moment with an increase in ambient pressure was associated with a weakening of the exchange interaction in the ferrimagnetic structure, owing to a reduction in the bond angles (∠ Fe-O-Fe) of various iron sublattices.

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...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

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,...
