Structural, magnetic and dielectric properties of FeTe1-xMx (M = Se, S) superconductor prepared by solid state reaction at ambient pressure by Lim, Edmund Hua Hang

“…Both FeTe1-xSex and FeTe1-xSx show negative dielectric permittivity (εr′) and this could be due to the plasma-like behaviour of the electron gas at frequency less than the plasma frequency. Se substitution decreases the dielectric constants εr′, while increased the εr′′ from x = 0.0 to x = 0.5. …”

Enriching the methanol generation via CO2 photoconversion over the cockscomb-like fibrous silica copper by Mahadi, Bahari, Che Rozid, Mamat, Aishah, Abdul Jalil, Shing, Lo Sook, Nurul Sahida, Hassan, F. F.A., Aziz, Alhassan, Mansur, Mohd Ghazali, Mohd Nawawi, Kamarizan, Kidam, Herma Dina, Setiabudi

“…Depiction of the characterization results revealed that FSCu possessed a considerable surface area (299.7 m2 g−1) as well as pore volume (0.70 cm3 g−1) than those of CuO/KCC-1 and CuO. Indeed, the excellent CuO dispersion and intense CuO-interaction resulted from the alternately aligned CuO and SiO2 in the fibrous framework. …”
