  2. Abstract Spinel compounds are of great interest in both fundamental and application-oriented perspectives due to the geometric magnetic frustration inherent to their lattice and the resulting complex magnetic states. Here, we applied x-ray diffraction, magnetization, heat capacity and powder inelastic neutron scattering measurements, along with theoretical calculations, to study the exotic properties of chromite-spinel oxides CoCr2O4and MnCr2O4. The temperature dependence of the phonon spectra provides an insight into the correlation between oxygen motion and the magnetic order, as well as the magnetoelectric effect in the ground state of MnCr2O4. Moreover, spin-wave excitations in CoCr2O4and MnCr2O4are compared with Heisenberg model calculations. This approach enables the precise determination of exchange energies and offers a comprehensive understanding of the spin dynamics and relevant exchange interactions in complicated spiral spin ordering.

  4. A series of N-doped porous carbons with different textural properties and N contents was prepared from a mixture of algae and glucose and their capability for the separation of CO 2 /CH 4 , C 2 H 6 /CH 4 , and CO 2 /H 2 binary mixtures under different conditions (bulk pressure, mixture composition, and temperature) were subsequently assessed in great detail. It was observed that the gas (C 2 H 6 , CO 2 , CH 4 , and H 2 ) adsorption capacity at different pressure regions was primarily governed by different adsorbent parameters (N level, narrow micropore volume, and BET specific surface area). More interestingly, it was found that N-doping can selectively enhance the heats of adsorption of C 2 H 6 and CO 2 , while it had a negligible effect on those of CH 4 and H 2 . The adsorption equilibrium selectivities for separating C 2 H 6 /CH 4 , CO 2 /CH 4 , and CO 2 /H 2 gas mixture pairs on the porous carbons were predicted using the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) based on pure-component adsorption isotherms. In particular, sample NAHA-1 exhibited by far the best performance (in terms of gas adsorption capacity and selectivity) reported for porous carbons for the separation of these three binary mixtures. More significantly, NAHA-1 carbon outperforms many of its counterparts ( e.g. MOFs and zeolites), emphasizing the important role of carbonaceous adsorbents in gas purification and separation.
