IPR-NAS Senior Researchers Visit University of Duisburg-Essen

IPR-NAS senior researchers Aram Manukyan and Armine Ginoyan recently visited the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE). During their visit the training and education they received was focused on structural and magnetic investigation of Fe-Fe3O4 “core-shell” nanoparticles in the carbon matrix synthesized by solid-phase pyrolysis of iron phthalocyanine (FeC32H16N8) as well as carbon coated Fe-Fe3C nanoparticles synthesized by single-stage solid-phase pyrolysis of ferrocene (FeC10H10). Furthermore, they received training in X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscope and magnetic investigations.
