Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and composition of matter for detecting and decontaminating hazardous chemicals, the composition of matter including: a magnetic material for any of chemisorbing, molecularly dissociating, or decomposing a hazardous chemical, wherein the magnetic material changes its magnetic moment upon any of chemisorption, decomposition, and molecular dissociation of the hazardous chemical and the change in magnetic moment is used to detect the presence of the hazardous chemical, and wherein the hazardous chemical includes any of toxic industrial chemicals, chemical warfare agents, and chemical warfare agent related compounds.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition of matter, comprising: a magnetic material for any of chemisorbing, molecular dissociating, and decomposing a hazardous chemical, wherein said magnetic material undergoes a change in magnetic moment upon any of chemisorption, decomposition, and molecular dissociation of said hazardous chemical, and wherein said change in magnetic moment results from a change in a cation valency upon any of said chemisorption, decomposition, and molecular dissociation of said hazardous chemical. 2. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a magnetic material that shows change in any of IR spectra, UV-Vis spectra, Raman spectra, and impedance spectra, wherein said change correlates to said any of chemisorption, decomposition, and molecular dissociation of said hazardous chemical, and wherein said change in impedance spectra results from an electronic property change in said magnetic material upon said any of chemisorption, decomposition, and molecular dissociation of said hazardous chemical. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said magnetic material comprises a LnFe 2 O 4 compound that performs any of chemisorbing, decomposing, and molecular dissociating said hazardous chemical. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein said lanthanide (Ln) is selected from the group consisting of Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Eu, and Tb. 5. The composition of claim 3 , wherein said LnFe 2 O 4 comprises TmFe 2 O 4 .
