Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) spectra of hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3) surfaces were calculated using ab-initio methods, not only to interpret experimentally collected STM data, but also to gain insight into atomic level changes in electronic structure that are associated with heterogeneous surface reactions.
A list of synthesized hematite with their structure properties and HMIs adsorption capacities is summarized in Table 1. The results of laboratory experiments may reflect the effectiveness of hematite under natural conditions. Kefeni et al. investigated the stability and removal capacity of synthesized hematite for HMIs from acid mine drainage.

Crystal Structure of Hematite. Hematite formula is Fe 2 O 3, is a simple iron III oxide. Hematite is a member of the trigonal crystal system, exhibiting a large variety of forms. As discrete forms, hematite may occur as small plates or thin splinters. As larger masses, it may be botryoidal, mammilary, reniform, oolitic, radiating, stalactitic ...
hematite and iron glance into maghemite in an oxidizing atmosphere; hematite structure seems to aid in retaining magnetic properties in an oxidizing atmosphere. Ferromagnetic Fe203 is designated as y -Fe203 in contrast to non-magnetic or normal a -Fe203. The elemental content is the same as that of hematite but the crystalline structure differs.
Hematite Mineral Description. Hematite is an iron-oxide mineral of the Oxides and Hydroxides group, with structural formula [alpha-Fe 2 O 3].The structure is similar to that of corundum, and consists essentially of a dense arrangement of Fe 3+ ions in octahedral coordination with oxygens in hexagonal closest-packing. The structure can also be described as the stacking of sheets of …
We investigate the electronic and magnetic structure of transition-metal-doped α-hematite using the local density approximation with local correlations (LDA + U).The dopants in this study are the 3 d transition metals Sc − Zn and Ga and are assumed to substitute on an Fe site.
