XRD as an Alternative Technique for Cation Distribution Characterization of MFe2O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles by Michel Fernando Montañez Molina, Franklin David Muñoz Muñoz, Ana Karina Cuentas Gallegos, David Alejandro Dominguez Vargas, Jose Trinidad Elizalde Galindo, Gerardo Soto Herrera, Hugo Tiznado, Mario H. Farias, Javier Alonso Lopez Medina

“…This work focuses on utilizing the X-ray diffraction technique as an alternative method to specialized and high-cost techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to obtain the cation distribution in magnetic nanoparticles as MFe2O4 with spinel structure synthesized by thermal decomposition. X-ray diffraction measurements for MFe2O4 with M = Co2+ as transition cation (inverse spinel CoFe2O4) showed sensitivity to the cation distribution for octahedral and tetrahedral sites in this material with this kind of crystalline structure, being a good option for its determination. …”

Evaluating Remote Sensing Metrics for Land Surface Phenology in Peatlands by Michal Antala, Anshu Rastogi, Marcin Stróżecki, Mar Albert-Saiz, Subhajit Bandopadhyay, Radosław Juszczak

“…The product of Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation and Photosynthetically Active Radiation (NIRvP) and Green Chromatic Coordinates (GCC) was identified as the best-performing remote sensing metrics for peatland physiological and structural phenology, respectively. Our results suggest that the changes in the physiological phenology due to increased temperature are more prominent than the changes in the structural phenology. …”
