CVD elaboration and in situ characterization of barium silicate thin films.
2010
International audience; This study is concerned with the elaboration of barium silicate thin films by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and in situ characterization by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) with an apparatus connected to the deposition reactor. The difficulty to find an efficient metal organic precursor for barium is described. After characterizations of the selected reactant, Ba(TMHD)2tetraglyme, the development of an original specific vapor delivering source which allows reactant sublimation in the CVD reactor was performed. In the most optimized cases, including use of oxygen introduction during the deposition, barium silicate films were obtained. Moreover,…
Dopants and defects: local structure and dynamics in barium cerates and zirconates
2010
In this paper we present an overview of state-of-the-art EXAFS measurements and data analysis on Ba, Ce, Zr, Y, In and Gd local environments in Y:BaCeO3, In:BaCeO3, Gd:BaCeO3, Y:BaZrO3, and In:BaZrO3, at different temperatures, hydration degrees and doping levels. This approach allows to reach unprecedented insights on the peculiar role of the dopant, and its interactions with the other lattice defects. In particular, we evidence that each different dopant shows unique behavior, depending mainly on its electronic structure, and that the usual criterion of ionic radius matching is not useful to outline an effective doping strategy of proton-conducting perovskites. As what concerns the struct…
Dielectric and E.P.R. studies of Mn-doped barium titanate
1990
Manganese introduced in BaTiO3 as a substituant of titanium is able to trap the electrons produced during a sintering under a very low oxygen pressure. However it strongly modifies the vibrational ...
Fundamental and technological aspects of the surface properties and reactivity of some metal oxides
1997
Abstract As is usually accepted for many inorganic compounds, the surface properties often play a fundamental role in the overall properties of metal oxides, in particular when the oxide materials are used in the form of fine grains. One difficulty in characterizing these surface properties is to apply the results of studies performed on ideal surfaces to the actual materials in use. A way to accept this challenge can be to successively consider initial powders, polycrystalline pellets formed after thermal or mechanical treatment of these powders and, finally, monocrystalline surfaces prepared from these powders or pellets. This principle can be applied to the study of the surface propertie…
Control of barium ferrite decomposition during spark plasma sintering: Towards nanostructured samples with anisotropic magnetic properties
2014
Abstract The sintering of barium ferrite (BaM) nano-sized powders by spark plasma sintering was studied. At the surface of the samples, an iron-rich layer (magnetite) was formed due to the decomposition of BaM and segregation in the secondary phases. To prevent the formation of secondary phases different protection layers between the graphite mould and the sample were used. Their effect on the sample microstructure was studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The most suitable protection layer was a highly dense sintered disc of aluminium oxide. Using this dense protection layer, sintered discs of BaM with 82% of theoretical density and grains of 90 ± 50 nm were obtain…
Effects of CuO doping on structure, microstructure and dielectric properties of BaTiO3–PbTiO3 solid solution
2019
Ba0.7Pb0.3TiO3 and Ba0.7Pb0.3TiO3+yCuO (y = 0.1 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1 wt% and 3 wt%) samples were prepared by a solid state reaction method. High purity raw materials were used. Structural properties of the sintered pellets were studied by X-ray diffractometer X’Pert PRO (PANalytical). A single phase of perovskite structure with tetragonal phase was identified at room temperature. The surface morphology of the obtained specimens was characterized by the scanning electron microscopy (Hitachi S4700). The investigations has shown that the synthesized ceramic materials are characterized by the high density, homogeneity of microstructure and low porosity. Dielectric spectroscopy was used to study the …

A taxonomic revision of the Capparis spinosa group (Capparaceae) from the Mediterranean to Central Asia
2014
A revision of the Capparis spinosa group has been carried out in southern Europe, northern Africa, western and central Asia, in order to provide a uniform taxonomic treatment of its representatives. The xerotropical origin of this group, showing disjunct distribution in several holoarctic and paleotropical regions, is underlined and the different species concepts historically adopted are discussed. In the present treatment a single species is recognized, C. spinosa , represented in the study area by two subspecies. C. spinosa subsp. spinosa shows derived characters, high polymorphism and a wide distribution range from the Mediterranean eastwards to China and Nepal. C. spinosa subsp. rupestr…
A post-synthetic approach triggers selective and reversible sulphur dioxide adsorption on a metal-organic framework.
2018
We report the application of a post-synthetic solid-state cation-exchange process to afford a novel 3D MOF with hydrated barium cations hosted at pores able to trigger selective and reversible SO2 adsorption. Computational modelling supports the full reversibility of the adsorption process on the basis of weak supramolecular interactions between SO2 and coordinated water molecules.
