Structure and Lattice Dynamics in PLZT 8/65/35 Ceramics Irradiated by High-Current Pulsed Electron Beam
The comprehensive study of high-current pulsed electron irradiation effect on the structure and lattice dynamics as well as optical properties of PLZT 8/65/35 ceramics have been performed. X-ray powder diffraction studies shown the transformation of the rhombohedral perovskite structure R3m (Z = 1) into orthorhombic Pmmm (Z = 1) for the sample irradiated by one pulse (dose 4 × 1014 electrons/cm2) and, as a consequence, the changes in number of phonon modes position, oscillators strength and damping in IR and Raman spectroscopy data. However neutron powder diffraction measurements of multiple irradiated samples have not been revealed any structural distortions. Dielectric parameters have sho…
Structural, Optical, and Dielectric Investigations of the Relaxor PLZT 9,75/65/35 Ceramics Irradiated by High-Current Pulsed Electron Beam
A comprehensive study of high-current pulsed electron irradiation effects on the structural, optical and dielectric properties of relaxor (Pb (1-x )La x )(Zr 0.65 Ti 0.35 ) 1-x/4 O 3 ceramics with x = 9,75 at.% has been performed for the first time. The electron beam had the following parameters: energy E = 250 keV, current density I = 1000 A/cm 2 , pulse duration τ = 300 ns, beam density -10 15 electrons/cm 2 per pulse. Infrared reflectivity spectra in the region of 100 ÷ 2000 cm -1 were obtained in virgin, irradiated by 1500 pulses and annealed up to 500°C ceramics. The reconstruction of perovskite ABO 3 structure in irradiated samples has been studied by combined use of X-ray diffraction…
Short- and long-range order in La1−xSrxCoO3 and La1−xBaxCoO3
Abstract The short- and long-range order correlations of the crystal structure in the distorted perovskites La 1− x Sr x CoO 3 and La 1− x Ba x CoO 3 (0.0⩽ x ⩽0.5) have been studied by the neutron powder diffraction (NPD) and the Co K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements. The results of XAS and NPD indicate a local distortion around the Co 3+ ions in LaCoO 3 at room temperature. The substitution of the La 3+ ions by the Sr 2+ (Ba 2+ ) ions leads to a gradual increase of the Co–O–Co angle and is accompanied by an increase of the mean square relative displacement (MSRD) of the Co–O bond. These results correlate with an increase of the oxygen amplitude vibration in the directi…
Femtometer accuracy EXAFS measurements: Isotopic effect in the first, second and third coordination shells of germanium
The analysis of the EXAFS signals from 70Ge and 76Ge has evidenced the low-temperature effect of isotopic mass difference on the amplitude of relative atomic vibrations. This effect is reflected in the difference of the Debye-Waller factors of the first three coordination shells, and on the difference of nearest-neighbour average interatomic distances, evaluated with femtometer accuracy. The experimental results are in agreement with theoretical expectations.
Isotopic Effect In Extended X-Ray-Absorption Fine Structure of Germanium
Extended x-ray absorption fine structure has been measured on two powdered samples of 70Ge and 76Ge as a function of temperature from 20 to 300 K. The effect of isotopic mass difference on the amplitude of relative atomic vibrations is neatly evidenced by the temperature dependence of the difference of Debye-Waller factors. The isotopic effect is also detected on the difference of nearest-neighbor average ineratomic distances, thanks to a resolution better than 10 fm. (DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.055901)
