• Continuous water adsorption states promoted by Ni2+ confined in a synthetic smectite 

      Altoé, Mário Alberto Simonato; Michels, Leander; dos Santos, Everton; Droppa Jr., Roosevelt; Grassi, Giovanni; Ribeiro, Luciano; Knudsen, Kenneth; Bordallo, Heloisa N.; Fossum, Jon Otto; da Silva, Geraldo José (Journal article, 2016)
      The water adsorption isotherms of Ni-fluorohectorite have been obtained from the relative humidity dependence of X-ray diffraction intensities, and continuous transitions between the stable hydration states were observed. ...
    • EXAFS and XRD studies in synthetic Ni-Fluorohectorite 

      Michels, Leander Edward; Ribeiro, Luciano; Mundim, Maria Suely Pedrosa; Sousa, Marcelo Henrique; Droppa, Roosevelt; Fossum, Jon Otto; da silva, Geraldo Jose; Mundim, Kleber Carlos (Journal article, 2014)
      In the present work the synthetic clay mineral fluorohectorite was studied by means of an extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) in a powder sample with the intention to observe the number of neighboring atoms ...
