an Outstanding Member of Mössbauer Community
is
70 years old
In our present case however we knew a more important goal this conference. This is to celebrate Professor Dr Károly Lázár on the occasion of his 70th birthday since Károly Lázár is 70 years old.
We know that it is generally said that the age is a stage of the life and to reach an age is not a merit. However in the case of Professor Károly Lázár there are several merits.
-Károly is an outstanding scientist and great personality
- He is an outstanding Mössbauer spectroscopist who
-has more than 250 publications in the field of Mössbauer spectroscopy
- he established and headed the Mössbauer Laboratory at the Institutes of Isotopes, HAS for decades
- transferred his knowledge to others
- He is still an active enthusiastic researcher as emeritus professor
16.06. 1948.
in BUDAPEST
He was born
6 Hungarian Mössbauer Forum, 2018
Basic education:
he attended a Secondary School named after Petrik Lajos in Budapest (Hungary), belonging to special education in chemistry, in where he deeply interested in understanding of chemical problems, therefore after
finishing this school he decided to enter the Eötvös
University, Budapest to study chemistry.
University years (1967-1971) at the Eötvös Loránd University
Budapest
Graduation
Eötvös Loránd University Budapest
During these years he became familiar with the
theoretical and practical basic of Mössbauer
spectroscopy. Prof. Attila Vértes taught him the basic
and how to record the Mössbauer spectra.
He prepared his diploma work using the Mössbauer spectroscopy in 1970-71 at the Laboratory of Nuclear Chemistry at Department of Physical Chemistry and Radiology, Eötvös University
supervised by Prof. Attila Vértes
8 Hungarian Mössbauer Forum, 2018
Graduation at the Eötvös University
M.S. degree in Chemistry in 1971
He was affiliated as research associate at the Central Research Institute for Physics, HAS, Budapest, between 1971-1979
There he dealt with high-temperature metal-gas reactions, carburization of iron, nickel and
alloys, studied by resistivity relaxation and thermopower
Károly Lázár received the
Candidate of Science (PhD) degree from the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences in 1984
10 Hungarian Mössbauer Forum, 2018
He has been affiliated as research associate at the Institute of Isotopes, HAS, Budapest, from 1982
where he started to study catalysts by in-situ Mössbauer measurements: studies of carbide formation of iron in CO + H 2 reaction, and study
of bimetallic (PdFe, CoFe, RhFe. etc.) supported
catalysts
Between 1982-84 he worked there as a post-doc fellow at the Department of Chemistry with Prof. William Reiff
Hungarian Mössbauer Forum, 2018
Research Years
at the Northeastern University, Boston, USA
Performing magnetic and Mössbauer spectroscopic
studies of layered and two-dimensional complexes
Between 1985-87 he worked there as a research fellow
Research Years
at the at the Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse, CNRS, Villeurbanne, France
Performing in situ
119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy studies on
SnIr bimetallic catalysts
Hungarian Mössbauer Forum, 2018 14
Between 1987-1992 he
performed a variety of in situ Mössbauer studies, as research fellow in the Institute of Isotopes
He developed a
Mössbauer laboratory suitable for the in-situ
57 Fe and 119 Sn Mössbauer
measurements
This makes possible that the catalyst sample should be heated, and treated
among reaction conditions (with gaseous reactants). An advantage is if the catalysts can be measured at lower temperatures (cooling preferably with liquid nitrogen or even with liquid helium) at the very same place where the preceding treatments had been performed. Another important condition can be that the catalytic process
and analysis of the reaction products can be performed on the very same sample
which is measured by the Mössbauer analysis

Upon using
119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy the active
participation of tin in Sn–Pt/SiO
2catalysts was demonstrated in the low temperature CO oxidation.
Journal of Catalysis 203, 94–103 (2001)
The oxidation of CO takes place at the Sn
4+–Pt ensemble sites
(i) Tin oxide phase (ii) Free platinum sites (FTIR);
(iii) Highly mobile
Sn
4+(sf) phase and
(iv) New alloy phase,
Pt–Sn (1 :1)
In Fe-ZSM-5 zeolite catalysers it was evidenced changes in iron microenvironments by the Mössbauer spectra before and after the use of the catalyser. The occurrence of Fe(II) is well visible in the spectra of the sample after use.
before use
after use
A closer look of the analyis of spectra of the evacuated and heat treated samples showed that
framework (FW) and extraframework (EFW) Fe(III)
microenvironments transforms partially to
superparamagnetic hematite and
magnetite
microenvironments after use.
it was also established that contrary to fully inactive
hematite, magnetite retains about 50% original activity in
the direct oxidation of benzene to phenol (oxidant N
2O)
because it exposes [Fe(III)]
