Structural, microstructural and dielectric studies in multiferroic LaSrNiO4-δ prepared by mechanical milling method
2016
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…
Investigation of mechanical and electrical properties of Li doped sodium niobate ceramic system
2016
ABSTRACTThe Na0.96Li0.04NbO3 ceramic solid solution was prepared by means of a two-stage hot-pressing technology. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of a single perovskite phase with an orthorhombic symmetry in the investigated composition. The microstructure and EDS measurements were performed. They confirmed the high purity and the expected qualitative composition. A good homogeneity of the microstructures and a small degree of porosity were observed. The elastic modulus (the Young's modulus E, shear modulus G, and Poisson's ratio ν) of Na0.96Li0.04NbO3 were determined with the use of an ultrasonic method. The electrical properties of Na0.96Li0.04NbO3 ceramics were invest…
Oxidation resistance of Ti 3 AlC 2 and Ti 3 Al 0.8 Sn 0.2 C 2 MAX phases: A comparison
2019
Ti3AlC2 and Ti3Al0.8Sn0.2C2 MAX phase powders are densified using Spark Plasma Sintering technique to obtain dense bulk materials. Oxidation tests are then performed over the temperature range 800-1000°C under synthetic air on the two different materials in order to compare their oxidation resistance. It is demonstrated that, in the case of the Ti3Al0.8Sn0.2C2 solid solution, the oxide layers consist in TiO2, Al2O3 and SnO2. The presence of Sn atoms in
Thermal stability of magnetic characteristics of Co/Ag/Fe and Co/Ag/Fe20Ni80 spin-valve structures
2017
Abstract We investigated the thermal stability of magnetic characteristics of Co/Ag/Fe and Co/Ag/Fe 20 Ni 80 spin-valve structures. Thin film systems were obtained with the help of sputtering method. For the first type of systems two particular thicknesses ( d ML = 3 and 20 nm) and different disposition of magnetic layers (ML) were used. For the second type different thickness of Ag ( d NML ) spacer layer was used. The research of the crystal structure was performed with the transmission electron microscope. The results demonstrate that every investigated as-deposited sample does not include solid solutions, intermetallic compounds or impurities. It has been found that among the spin-valve…
Raman characterization of Pb2Na1−xLaxNb5−xFexO15 and Pb0.5(5−x)LaxNb5−xFexO15 (0≤x≤1) solid solutions
2011
Abstract The ferroelectric compounds Pb 2 Na 1− x La x Nb 5− x Fe x O 15 and Pb 0.5(5− x ) La x Nb 5− x Fe x O 15 (0≤ x ≤1) with the tungsten bronze type structure have been investigated using Raman spectroscopy. The evolution of the spectra as a function of composition at room temperature is reported. In the frequency range 200–1000 cm −1 three main A 1 phonons around 240 ( υ 1 ), 630 ( υ 2 ) and 816 ( υ 3 ) cm −1 were observed. The broadening of the Raman lines for high values of x originates from a significant structural disorder. This is in good agreement with the relaxor character of these compositions. The lowest-frequency part of the spectra, below 180 cm −1 , reveals a structural ch…
Two-phase dielectric polar structures in 0.1NBT-0.6ST-0.3PT solid solutions
2018
Abstract In this work we address the peculiarities of the macroscopic responses in ternary 0.1Na0·5Bi0·5TiO3-0.6SrTiO3-0.3PbTiO3 (0.1NBT-0.6ST-0.3PT) solid solutions. These solid solutions exhibit a spontaneous first order relaxor to normal ferroelectric phase transition. The phase transition is accompanied by a broad dielectric relaxation which expands over 10 orders of magnitude in frequency just above the phase transition temperature. The temperature dependence of polarization shows that non-zero net polarization persists above the phase transition temperature. Below the phase transition temperature, it is not possible to describe the temperature dependence of polarization with a power l…
Study of the thermochromic phase transition in CuMo1−xWxO4 solid solutions at the W L3-edge by resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy
2021
Abstract Polycrystalline CuMo 1 − x W x O 4 solid solutions were studied by resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy (RXES) at the W L 3 -edge to follow a variation of the tungsten local atomic and electronic structures across thermochromic phase transition as a function of sample composition and temperature. The experimental results were interpreted using ab initio calculations. The crystal-field splitting parameter Δ for the 5d(W)-states was obtained from the analysis of the RXES plane and was used to evaluate the coordination of tungsten atoms. Temperature-dependent RXES measurements were successfully employed to determine the hysteretic behaviour of the structural phase transition between t…
Phase transitions in Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-(Sr0.7Bi0.2)TiO3-PbTiO3 solid solutions
2016
ABSTRACTIncreasing of Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 concentration in Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 solid solutions causes increasing of Bi/Na relation and vacancies in the A-site of perovskite structure. In temperature dependence of dielectric permittivity, such a change of composition is reflected by transforming of the frequency-dependent shoulder into a maximum characteristic for relaxor ferroelectrics and diminishing of the frequency-independent maximum characteristic for Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3. Here changes in behavior of dielectric permittivity and polarization are studied if PbTiO3 is added in a certain concentration range of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-Sr0.7Bi0.2TiO3 solid solutions. Changes of the characteristic temp…

Photoluminescence and optical second harmonic generation in Er-doped 0.4Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-(0.6-x)SrTiO3-xPbTiO3 solid solutions is studied. Earlier, it was shown that upon increasing of PbTiO3 concent...
Analytical solution for the diffusion of a capacitor discharge generated magnetic field pulse in a conductor
2016
Powerful forces arise when a pulse of a magnetic field in the order of a few tesla diffuses into a conductor. Such pulses are used in electromagnetic forming, impact welding of dissimilar materials and grain refinement of solidifying alloys. Strong magnetic field pulses are generated by the discharge current of a capacitor bank. We consider analytically the penetration of such pulse into a conducting half-space. Besides the exact solution we obtain two simple self-similar approximate solutions for two sequential stages of the initial transient. Furthermore, a general solution is provided for the external field given as a power series of time. Each term of this solution represents a self-sim…
