Research problems linked to this topic
- Although many research activities concentrate on transition metal nitrides, due to their excellent properties, only little is known about Mo-N based materials.
- The oxides of a number of transition metals have been studied as catalysts for the oxidation of graphite by dry oxygen.
- Heavy metals are known to be toxic for living organisms even if they are present at low levels.
- Mesoporous thin films of transition metal lithiates (TML) belong to an important group of materials for the advancement of electrochemical systems.
- Mining activities generate a large amount of solid waste and acid drains that contain heavy metals in high concentrations.
- Lead (Pb) is one kind of heavy metal that has high level of toxicity.
- Cellular metals are widely used in light-weight structures and energy absorption devices.
- Transition-metal oxides often exhibit complex magnetic behavior due to the strong interplay between atomic-structure, electronic and magnetic degrees of freedom.
- The marriage between a 2D layered material (2DLM) and a complex transition metal oxide (TMO) results in a variety of physical and chemical phenomena that cannot be achieved in either material alone.
- The study of metal-insulator transitions (MITs) in crystalline solids is a subject of paramount importance, both from the fundamental point of view and for its relevance to the transport properties of materials.
- Selective removal of heavy metals from sludges or soil is a challenging problem because the heavy metals constitute a small fraction (usually <5%) of the solid phase, the rest being a background of innocuous non-toxic materials which are not important from a regulatory viewpoint.
