Description
Elsevier Handbook On The Physics And Chemistry Of Rare Earths Volume 34 by Volume editor Karl A. Gschneidner , Volume editor Jean-Claude G. Bunzli , Volume editor Vitalij K. Pecharsky
This volume of the Handbook adds five new chapters to the science of rare earths. Two of the chapters deal with intermetallic compounds. An overview of ternary systems containing rare earths, transition metals and indium - Chapter 218 - opens the volume. It is followed by Chapter 219 sorting out relationships between superconductivity and magnetism. The next two chapters are dedicated to complex compounds of rare earths: Chapter 220 describes structural studies using circularly polarized luminescence spectroscopy of lanthanide systems, while Chapter 221 examines rare-earth metal-organic frameworks, also known as coordination polymers. The final Chapter 222 deals with the catalytic activity of rare earths in site-selective hydrolysis of DNA and RNA._x000D_ _x000D_218. Rare earth-transition metal-indides (Ya. Kalychak, V.
