Fall 2016
Several series of rare-earth and transition-metal-containing pnictides such as RE2Mn3Cu9Pn7,1 REMnCu4P3,2 REMM'Pn2 (M = Mn, Cu, Ag; M' = Cu, Zn, Cd; Pn = P, As),3 and REAg1-xZnyAs2 4 were synthesized, and their crystal structures were determined using X-ray diffraction methods. The electronic...

This thesis describes the synthesis, structures, and properties of two broad classes of inorganic solids, chalcohalides and intermetallics, with the common theme that they contain rare-earth (RE) elements, which belong to the set of critical minerals essential for many technological...

To evaluate the applicability and expand the limit of the Zintl-Klemm concept, many new alkali-metal pnictides were synthesized by high temperature solid reactions in A-M-Pn or A-Tt-Pn ternary systems and A-M-Tt-Pn quaternary systems (A = Na, K, Rb; M = Mn, Zn, Cd; Tt = Si, Ge, Sn; Pn = As, Sb). ...

This thesis focuses on the experimental and theoretical study of various rare-earth transition-metal germanides that contain three or four components. Ternary and quaternary germanides were synthesized through various methods, including direct reaction of the elements, arc-melting, and flux...
