Outline Why new vanadate Cu 13 Fe 4 V 10 O 44 Sample preparation and chemistry Measuring methods: dc magnetometry and EPR Results of dc magnetization measurements Results of EPR measurements Conclusions about magnetic structure
Why to study Cu 13 Fe 4 V 10 O 44 ? Similar compounds from the same system of vanadates have important catalytic properties Defect structure and grain surface play an important role in catalysis Knowledge of magnetic defects and ions may lead to better understanding of the mechanism of the catalytic processes
