Improve the dielectric properties of PrSrNi0.8Mn0.2O4 compounds by longer mechanical milling
Abstract Structural and dielectric properties of PrSrNi 0.8 Mn 0.2 O 4 ceramics elaborated by a rapid method combining mechanical milling and heat treatment were studied for the first time. The raw materials are milled at different times ( t mil = 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 h) and annealed at 1300 °C for 8 h to produce a revealed PrSrNi 0.8 Mn 0.2 O 4 single phase, exhibiting tetragonal structure with space group I 4/ mmm . This result was confirmed by using the TEM/ED pattern for sample milled at 30 h using the [001] orientation. The corresponding lattice images show a well-ordered compound, indicating the absence of stacking faults and the growth of the crystallites. Giant dielectric response …
Structural, microstructural and dielectric studies in multiferroic LaSrNiO4-δ prepared by mechanical milling method
Abstract The solid solution LaSrNiO 4-δ has been successfully prepared by a rapid method combining mechanical milling and heat treatment. The structure and microstructure transformations were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The dielectric property was also investigated. After 10 h of milling and 8 h of heat treatment at 1300 °C, X-ray diffraction analysis revealed LaSrNiO 4-δ single phase, exhibiting tetragonal structure with space group of I4/mmm. This result was confirmed by using the ED pattern for sample using the [001] orientation. The corresponding lattice images show the compound to be well ordered, indicating the absence of s…
Dielectric relaxation and polaronic hopping in Mn-substituted LaSrNiO4 nickelates prepared by mechanical milling method
Abstract The structures, microstructures and dielectric properties of LaSrNi1−xMnxO4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5) ceramics synthetized by mechanical milling followed by heat treatment were studied. One single tetragonal phase was revealed in all compounds. Structural parameters were obtained by Rietveld refinement. The substitution of Ni ions by Mn produces a variation of the lattice parameters but no phase change is observed. The surface morphology and elemental analysis of these samples were respectively investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray technique (EDS). Giant dielectric response was observed in these ceramics, and at least two relaxations we…
Enhancement of the dielectric response through Al-substitution in La1.6Sr0.4NiO4 nickelates
The structures and dielectric properties of La1.6Sr0.4Ni1−xAlxO4 (x = 0, 0.2 and 0.4) ceramics elaborated using the Pechini method were studied for the first time. The same unique tetragonal phase was found in all compounds. The lattice parameters were found using Rietveld refinement. The surface morphology characterization and elemental analysis of these samples were respectively carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). A giant dielectric response was observed in these ceramics, and one dielectric relaxation was found. The substitution of nickel with aluminum results in a colossal dielectric constant value (>106). The dielectric l…
