Magnetische Nanopartikel (MNPs) zeigen ausgeprägte größenabhängige magnetischeEigenschaften und strukturelle Anordnungen, die stark vom umgebenden Mediumbeeinflusst werden. Unter ihnen sind FeOx-Nanopartikel besonders interessant aufgrundihrer hohen chemischen Stabilität und anpassbaren magnetischen Eigenschaften,was sie zu vielversprechenden Kandidaten für Anwendungen von der magnetischenSensorik bis hin zur biomedizinischen Bildgebung und Nanorheologie macht.

High-pressure clamp cells for neutron diffraction experiments require specialized construction materials that do not attenuate neutrons, are not activated, are non-magnetic and can withstand high pressures. Previous research found two commercially available materials, Nickel-Chromium-Aluminium Alloy (NiCrAl) and Copper-Beryllium Alloy (CuBe2), for a compound cylinder clamped-cell designed for a maximum working pressure of 2.3 GPa.

The removal of minor actinides (MAs) from nuclear waste - in particular the separation of Am(III) from lanthanide (Ln) fission products - is an important step in the partitioning and transmutation (P&T) strategy aimed at reducing long-term heat load and radiotoxicity. In this study, a newly synthesized DGA ligand, 2-(2-[didecyl]-2-oxoethoxy)-N,N-didecylpropanamide (Me-TDDGA), was evaluated for its extraction performance and selectivity towards tri- and tetravalent actinides and trivalent lanthanides under different experimental conditions.

This thesis investigates the magnetic and structural properties of two batches of single crystals (freshly synthesized and aged) and polycrystalline material of the spin-crossover (SCO) compound [Fe(NQu3)(NCS)2]∙0.5 Et2O (Qu = quinoline and Et = ethyl). Magnetization measurements, carried out on in-house Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) and on freshly synthesized single crystals, indicate that the compound exhibits abrupt SCO behaviour with a hysteresis width of 24.47 K.
