Abstract
Iron-containing pharmaceuticals, namely: (i) PreNatal with ferrous fumarate, (ii) Tardyferon® with ferrous sulfate, (iii) Fenules with water free ferrous sulfate, (iv) Iron Complex with iron glycinate, citrate, (v) Gentle Iron, (vi) Hema-Plex® and (vii) Iron Bisglycinate with iron (ferrous) bisglycinate chelate (iron compounds are given as declared by the manufactures) were studied by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy with X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements for analysis of the iron state. The obtained results demonstrate that the iron compound announced by the manufacturer in each pharmaceutical is not homogeneous and exists as some modifications of this compound or results of its transformation/oxidation probably due to its instability. The presence of ferrous and ferric compounds is observed, and the relative ferric iron fractions are roughly determined for each pharmaceutical product. This analysis clearly shows the differences between the iron compounds proclaimed by the manufacturers and those obtained by Mössbauer spectroscopy. That justifies as to why this technique should be used for the control and analysis of the iron-containing pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Hafnia-based nanostructures and other high-k dielectrics are promising wide-gap materials for developing new opto- and nanoelectronic devices. They possess a unique combination of physical and chemical properties, such as insensitivity to electrical and optical degradation, radiation damage stability, a high specific surface area, and an increased concentration of the appropriate active electron-hole centers. The present paper aims to investigate the structural, optical, and luminescent properties of anodized non-stoichiometric HfO2 nanotubes. As-grown amorphous hafnia nanotubes and nanotubes annealed at 700 °C with a monoclinic crystal lattice served as samples. It has been shown that the bandgap Eg for direct allowed transitions amounts to 5.65 ± 0.05 eV for amorphous and 5.51 ± 0.05 eV for monoclinic nanotubes. For the first time, we have studied the features of intrinsic cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence in the obtained nanotubular HfO2 structures with an atomic deficiency in the anion sublattice at temperatures of 10 and 300 K. A broad emission band with a maximum of 2.3-2.4 eV has been revealed. We have also conducted an analysis of the kinetic dependencies of the observed photoluminescence for synthesized HfO2 samples in the millisecond range at room temperature. It showed that there are several types of optically active capture and emission centers based on vacancy states in the O3f and O4f positions with different coordination numbers and a varied number of localized charge carriers (V0, V-, and V2-). The uncovered regularities can be used to optimize the functional characteristics of developed-surface luminescent media based on nanotubular and nanoporous modifications of hafnia.

Abstract
The discovery of new magnetic materials is a big challenge in the field of modern materials science. We report the development of a new extension of the evolutionary algorithm USPEX, enabling the search for half-metals (materials that are metallic only in one spin channel) and hard magnetic materials. First, we enabled the simultaneous optimization of stoichiometries, crystal structures, and magnetic structures of stable phases. Second, we developed a new fitness function for half-metallic materials that can be used for predicting half-metals through an evolutionary algorithm. We used this extended technique to predict new, potentially hard magnets and rediscover known half-metals. In total, we report five promising hard magnets with high energy product (|BH|MAX), anisotropy field (Ha), and magnetic hardness (κ) and a few half-metal phases in the Cr-O system. A comparison of our predictions with experimental results, including the synthesis of a newly predicted antiferromagnetic material (WMnB2), shows the robustness of our technique.

Abstract
The oxygen content in La0.5Sr0.5Fe1-xMnxO3-δ, measured by coulometric titration in a wide range of oxygen partial pressure at various temperatures, was used for defect chemistry analysis. The obtained data were well approximated by a model assuming defect formation in La0.5Sr0.5Fe1-xMnxO3-δvia Fe3+ and Mn3+ oxidation reactions and charge disproportionation on Fe3+ and Mn3+ ions. The partial molar enthalpy and entropy of oxygen in La0.5Sr0.5Fe1-xMnxO3-δ obtained by statistical thermodynamic calculations were found to be in satisfactory agreement with those obtained using the Gibbs-Helmholtz equations, thus further confirming the adequacy of the model. The impact of manganese substitution on defect equilibrium in La0.5Sr0.5Fe1-xMnxO3-δ was shown to be attributed to a lower enthalpy of Mn3+ oxidation reaction (vs. for the oxidation of Fe3+) and the charge disproportionation reaction on Mn3+ (vs. for that on Fe3+). The former makes Mn4+ ions more resistant to reduction than Fe4+. The latter favors the presence of Mn2+, Mn3+, and Mn4+ ions in oxides in comparable concentrations. The distribution of charge carriers over iron and manganese ions was determined as a function of oxygen content in La0.5Sr0.5Fe1-xMnxO3-δ.

Abstract
Bjurböle L/LL4 ordinary chondrite was studied using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The phase composition and the relative iron fractions in the iron-bearing phases were determined. The unit cell parameters for olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene are similar to those observed in the other ordinary chondrites. The higher contents of forsterite and enstatite were detected by Raman spectroscopy. Magnetization measurements showed that the temperature of the ferrimagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition in chromite is around 57 K and the saturation magnetic moment is ~7 emu/g. The values of the 57Fe hyperfine parameters for all components in the Bjurböle Mössbauer spectrum were determined and related to the corresponding iron-bearing phases. The relative iron fractions in Bjurböle and the 57Fe hyperfine parameters of olivine, orthopyroxene and troilite were compared with the data obtained for the selected L and LL ordinary chondrites. The Fe2+ occupancies of the M1 and M2 sites in silicate crystals were determined using both X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Then, the temperatures of equilibrium cation distribution were determined, using two independent techniques, for olivine as 666 K and 850 K, respectively, and for orthopyroxene as 958 K and 1136 K, respectively. Implications of X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy data for the classification of the studied Bjurböle material indicate its composition being close to the LL group of ordinary chondrites.

Abstract
The bulk interior of Kemer L4 ordinary chondrite was characterized for the first time by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution. The main and minor iron-bearing phases were found as well as ferrihydrite as a result of weathering. The Fe2+ partitioning among the M1 and M2 sites in olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene was determined from the X-ray diffraction. The ratios of Fe2+ occupancies for these crystals were estimated from both X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy data and appeared to be in a good agreement. The distribution coefficients KD and the temperatures of equilibrium cation distribution Teq were also evaluated for olivine and orthopyroxene from two independent techniques and were in a good consistence: KD = 1.77, Teq = 441 K (X-ray diffraction) and KD = 1.77, Teq = 439 K (Mössbauer spectroscopy) for olivine and KD = 0.10, Teq = 806 K (X-ray diffraction) and KD = 0.09, Teq = 787 K (Mössbauer spectroscopy) for orthopyroxene. The fusion crust of Kemer L4 was studied using X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Magnesioferrite and probably maghemite were found in the fusion crust in addition to other phases observed in the bulk interior.

Abstract
The meteorite Sariçiçek, a 2015 howardite fall in Turkey, was analyzed using various physical techniques. Both the interior and the fusion crust were studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The main and minor iron-bearing phases such as orthopyroxene, Ca-poor and Ca-rich clinopyroxene, chromite with hercynite, Fe2+ and Fe3+ ilmenite, troilite, α-Fe(Ni, Co), α2-Fe(Ni, Co) and γ-Fe(Ni, Co) phases were identified. The ratios of Fe2+ occupancies in the M1 and M2 sites in the silicate phases as well as the equilibrium Fe2+ and Mg2+ cations distribution temperatures (Teq) for orthopyroxene were estimated using X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy, which appeared to be in a good agreement: for example, Teq were 886 and 878 K, respectively. The glass-like fusion crust of Sariçiçek consists of orthopyroxene with ferrous and ferric compounds that are likely products of combustion and melting.

Abstract
The meter-scale variations of material properties of the 20-m sized Chelyabinsk meteoroid are critical for understanding why the meteoroid fragmented the way it did and caused the devastating airburst that sent over 1600 people to the hospital for treatment of glass cuts and minor injuries on February 15, 2013. From a range of differently looking unweathered meteorite fragments that were recovered shortly after the event, these material differences were probed by means of optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the high velocity resolution Mössbauer spectroscopy. All main and some minor iron-bearing phases were identified on the basis of XRD data and Mössbauer spectra. The Fe2+ partitioning between the M1 and M2 sites in silicate phases was determined independently using XRD and Mössbauer data. Different meteorite fragments show a range of 570-1180 K in the temperature of the Fe2+ and Mg2+ equilibrium distribution between the M1 and M2 sites in olivine, while that in orthopyroxene falls in the range 870-1180 K (these ranges were estimated using both techniques). This fact points out a slightly different thermal history of these minerals before they accumulated in different parts of the Chelyabinsk meteoroid. The Chelyabinsk meteoroid is a fragmental breccia from materials formed at different depths in their parent body, or from materials that experienced different annealing temperatures in impacts. In addition, the fusion crust from two fragments, studied by XRD and Mössbauer spectroscopy, experienced a different thermal history during entry, suggesting that the fragment with mixed light and dark lithologies was located deeper inside the initial meteoroid than the fragment with only light lithology, or fragmented less readily.

Abstract
Northwest Africa (NWA) 6286 and 7857 meteorites were studied in detail by using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersion spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution. The main and the minor iron-bearing phases were identified in both meteorites. The unit cell parameters as well as Fe2+ and Mg2+ cation distribution were determined for the M1 and M2 sites in silicate microcrystals. Saturation magnetic moments were obtained for both meteorites. Mössbauer parameters for the main and the minor iron-bearing microcrystals were estimated and compared for NWA 6286 and NWA 7857 LL6 ordinary chondrites. The Fe2+ and Mg2+ cation partitioning, distribution coefficient and temperature of cation equilibrium distribution were estimated for silicate microcrystals using X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy.

Abstract
The structures of several fluoroscandate compounds are presented here using a characterization approach combining powder X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR. The structure of K5Sc3F14 was fully determined from Rietveld refinement performed on powder X-ray diffraction data. Moreover, the local structures of NaScF4, Li3ScF6, KSc2F7, and Na3ScF6 compounds were studied in detail from solid-state 19F and 45Sc NMR experiments. The 45Sc chemical shift ranges for six- and seven-coordinated scandium environments were defined. The 19F chemical shift ranges for bridging and terminal fluorine atoms were also determined. First-principles calculations of the 19F and 45Sc NMR parameters were carried out using plane-wave basis sets and periodic boundary conditions (CASTEP), and the results were compared with the experimental data. A good agreement between the calculated shielding constants and experimental chemical shifts was obtained. This demonstrates the good potential of computational methods in spectroscopic assignments of solid-state 45Sc NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
A human liver ferritin, commercial Ferrum Lek and Maltofer® samples were studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance. Two Mössbauer spectrometers have been used: (i) a high velocity resolution (4096 channels) at 90 and 295K, (ii) and a low velocity resolution (250 channels) at 20 and 40 K. It is shown that the three studied materials have different superparamagnetic features at various temperatures. This may be caused by different magnetic anisotropy energy barriers, sizes (volume), structures and compositions of the iron cores. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the ferritin, Ferrum Lek and Maltofer® were decomposed into multiple spectral components demonstrating the presence of minor ferro- or ferrimagnetic phases along with revealing marked differences among the studied substances. Mössbauer spectroscopy provides evidences on several components in the measured spectra which could be related to different regions, layers, nanocrystallites, etc. in the iron cores that coincides with heterogeneous and multiphase models for the ferritin iron cores.
