Sesquioxides magnetic structures

Electronic stmctures of some sesquioxides were calculated from the special interests on these materials properties. For example, Skorodumova et al. [5] calculated the electronic structure of Ce203 by FP-LMTO method for the purpose of clarifying the role of oxygen-poor Ce203 in catalytic property and its band gap and magnetic property were discussed on the basis of valence-band and core-state... 

The structure and magnetic properties of samarium as the sesquioxide and the metal have been studied by Perakis and Kern (1972). Between 8(1-154 K the magnetic susceptibility of a purified Sm specimen essentially coincided with that for Sm " in monoclinic Sm203. The minimum of x (the magnetic susceptibility) was at about 350 K.
