Neutron diffraction study of microstructural and magnetic effects in fine particle NiO powders
2016
Nickel oxide powders with grain sizes ranging from 100 to 1500 nm have been studied by high-resolution neutron diffraction. We have found that the atomic structure, the antiferromagnetic ordering, and the value of the nickel magnetic moments inherent in the bulk material of NiO are still preserved and are nearly independent of the average size of the grains. The sizes of the coherently scattering atomic and magnetic domains were estimated independently owing to a complete separation of the nuclear and magnetic peaks in the neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that the finite-size and surface disorder effects in particles at the submicron scale have a more pronounced influence on the ma…
Properties of Nanosized Ferrite Powders and Sintered Materials Prepared by the Co-Precipitation Technology, Combined with the Spray-Drying Method
2016
Cobalt and nickel ferrites powders are synthesized by the co-precipitation technology, combined with the spray-drying method. The crystallite size, specific surface area (SSA), magnetic properties of synthesized products are investigated. All the synthesized ferrites are nanocrystalline single phase materials with crystallite size of 5-6 nm, the SSA of 80-85 m2/g and the calculated particle size of 13-15 nm. After spray-drying granules of the size up to 10 μm are obtained. After thermal treatment at 550 and 950 °C SSA decreases to 40-50 m2/g and 20-22 m2/g, respectively. The saturation magnetization at these temperatures increase from 17 to 40 emu/g for NiFe2O4 and from 51 to 77 emu/g for C…
Characteristics of Sintered Materials Obtained from Ferrite Nanopowders Synthesised with Different Methods
2018
Ferrite materials, especially those containing nickel and cobalt, are popular due to their unique mechanical and magnetic properties. Single phase NiFe2O4 and CoFe2O4 nanopowders obtained by different methods were used for sintering studies. Chemical sol-gel self-propagating combustion method, co-precipitation technology combined with hydrothermal synthesis or spray-drying method, and high frequency plasma chemical synthesis have been used to synthesize ferrite nanopowders. Relatively dense (95-99%) materials with high saturation magnetization (MS = 80-84 emu/g for CoFe2O4 and MS = 46-48 emu/g for NiFe2O4) were obtained at 1100-1200 °C temperatures.
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…
Morphological and magnetic analysis of Fe nanostructures on W(110) by using scanning tunneling microscopy and Lorentz microscopy
2016
Abstract We investigated morphological features and magnetic properties of epitaxial Fe nanostructures (films, stripes and nanoparticles) on a W(110) surface with monoatomic steps preferentially along the direction. The nanostructures were prepared in ultra-high vacuum by using electron-beam evaporation and subsequent annealing at different temperatures. Scanning tunneling microscopy measurements in-situ revealed elongated Fe nanostructures with aspect ratios of up to . The observable shape and orientation (along or perpendicular to the monoatomic steps of the substrate) of the nanostructures depended substantially on the preparation parameters. By capping the system with 7 monolayers of Pt…
Molecular dynamics simulations of nanometric metallic multilayers: Reactivity of the Ni-Al system
2011
The reactivity of a layered Ni-Al-Ni system is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations, using an embedded-atom method type potential. The system, made of an fcc-Al layer embedded in fcc-Ni, is initially thermalized at the fixed temperature of 600 K. The early interdiffusion of Ni and Al at interfaces is followed by the massive diffusion of Ni in the Al layer and by the spontaneous phase formation of $B2$-NiAl. The solid-state reaction is associated with a rapid system heating, which further enhances the diffusion processes. For longer times, the system may partly lose some its $B2$-NiAl microstructure in favor of the formation of $L{1}_{2}$-${\mathrm{Ni}}_{3}\mathrm{Al}$. This st…

Static and dynamic structure of $ZnWO_4$ nanoparticles
2011
Abstract Static and dynamic structure of ZnWO 4 nanoparticles, synthesized by co-precipitation technique, has been studied by temperature dependent x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Zn K-edge and W L 3 -edge. Complementary experimental techniques, such as x-ray powder diffraction, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies, have been used to understand the variation of vibrational, optical, and structural properties of nanoparticles, compared to microcrystalline ZnWO 4 . Our results indicate that the structure of nanoparticles experiences strong relaxation leading to the significant distortions of the WO 6 and ZnO 6 octahedra, being responsible for the changes in optical and vibrational …
Outstanding nonlinear optical properties of methylammonium- and Cs-PbX3 (X = Br, I, and Br–I) perovskites: Polycrystalline thin films and nanoparticl…
2019
Metal Halide Perovskites (MHPs) have arisen as promising materials to construct cost-effective photovoltaic and light emission devices. The study of nonlinear optical properties of MHPs is necessary to get similar success in nonlinear photonic devices, which is practically absent in the literature. The determination of the third order nonlinear coefficients is typically done by the Z-scan technique, which is limited by the scattering of polycrystalline thin films. In this work, we have studied nonlinear optical properties of polycrystalline CH3NH3PbX3 (MAPbX3) thin films and colloidal CsPbX3 nanoparticles with three different bandgaps (X3 = I3, Br3, and Br1.5I1.5). Their bright generation o…
Comparing the luminescence processes of YVO4:Eu and core-shell YVO4@YF3 nanocrystals with bulk-YVO4:Eu
2017
Abstract Comparative analysis of bulk, non-coated and core-shelled nanocrystalline YVO4:Eu was performed by means of time-resolved luminescence and VUV excitation luminescence spectroscopy techniques. Nanocrystalline YVO4:Eu samples – both as-prepared and YF3 core-shelled – have been synthesized by means of a microwave-assisted synthesis in ionic liquids, which allows to obtain 10–12 nm nanoparticles with high crystallinity. The results show noticeable differences between bulk and nanocrystalline YVO4:Eu in photoluminescence experimental data, which explains by influence of the nanocrystal surface. A YF3 core-shell layer around YVO4:Eu nanoparticles partially recovers the intensity of the E…
