Abstract

New tellurate compounds NaMTeO (M = Co and Ni) were synthesized by a conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction. The title compounds crystallize in the monoclinic system of a space group P2/c and the triclinic system of a space group P1[combining macron], respectively. Both compounds exhibit a zigzag spin-chain structure, in which NaCoTeO shows uniform chains built by Co ions and NaNiTeO shows alternating chains built by Ni ions. Magnetic measurements confirm that NaCoTeO and NaNiTeO possess an antiferromagnetic ordering at T = ∼3 K and ∼6.5 K, respectively, while a metamagnetic transition can be observed in the magnetization curve with an increasing field at 2 K.

Tellurium Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of tellurium's shells is 2, 8, 18, 18, 6 and its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p4. Tellurium was discovered by Franz Muller von Reichenstein in 1782 and first isolated by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1798. In its elemental form, tellurium has a silvery lustrous gray appearance. The tellurium atom has a radius of 140 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 206 pm. Elemental TelluriumTellurium is most commonly sourced from the anode sludges produced as a byproduct of copper refining. The name Tellurium originates from the Greek word Tellus, meaning Earth.
