Relaxational dynamics at the class transition in orientational and canonical glasses investigated by dielectric spectroscopy
1991
Abstract Measurements of the dielectric permittivity are reported for the canonical glass glycerol and for solid solutions of ferroelectric betaine phosphite and ferroelectric betaine phosphate, which can be viewed as protype systems of orientational glasses. In this latter system long range dipolar order is suppressed by the competing ferroelectric and antiferroelectric interactions and the dipolar moments freeze-in devoid of long range order. In both systems the relaxation dynamics is studied for frequencies 10−2Hz≤ν≤106Hz, close to the glass transition temperature. The relaxation dynamics is characterized according to Angell's classification scheme of strong and fragile glass-formers.
Solid State Luminescence Enhancement in π-Conjugated Materials: Unraveling the Mechanism beyond the Framework of AIE/AIEE
2017
Solid state luminescence enhancement (SLE) of conjugated organic materials has had a great impact in materials science, but a deep understanding has been rather limited to date. Here, we investigate a prototype example of SLE materials, cyano-substituted distyrylbenzene (DCS), by varying systematically and subtly the substitution pattern (inter alia of the position of the cyano-substituent) to give largely different photoresponse in fluid and solid solution as well in the crystalline state. The combination of quantitative (ultra)fast optical spectroscopic techniques, appropriate quantum-chemical methods, and structural (X-ray) data allows us to elucidate and rationalize all details of the S…
Dielectric and Elastic Parameters of LixNa1-xTa0.1Nb0.9O3 Ferroelectric Solid Solution Ceramics
2011
Results of the studies of electric and elastic parameters as functions of concentration in ferroelectric LiхNa1-хTa0.1Nb0.9O3 (x = 0–0.16) solid solutions and comparative studies of the elastic properties by acoustic and contact probe techniques are reported. The electric and elastic properties of LiхNa1-хTa0.1Nb0.9O3 solid solutions are shown to be rather sensitive to structural distortion at concentration-induced structural phase transitions. The values of elastic modules obtained from acoustic measurements are found to be in good agreement with those obtained by contact probe techniques.
The effect of Fe doping on superconductivity in ZrRuP
2011
Abstract This work reports the structure and superconducting properties of the superconductor ZrRuP doped with Fe; the ZrRu 1− x Fe x P solid solution was investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction, SQUID magnetometry and Mosbauer spectroscopy. It is shown that the modification of the superconducting properties by doping with Fe is similar to the effect of chemical pressure and that the Fe doped compounds do not show any magnetic ordering.

Ab initiothermodynamics ofBacSr(1−c)TiO3solid solutions
2005
Based on ab initio calculations for a number of the ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{(1\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{c})}\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (BST) superlattices, we developed a thermodynamic approach to these solid solutions. In particular, we calculate the BST phase diagram and show that at relatively low temperatures (below $400\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ for $c=0.5$ and $300\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ for $c=0.1$) the spinodal decomposition of the solid solution occurs. As a result, we predict for small Ba concentrations formation of $\mathrm{Ba}\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ nanoregions in a predominantly $\mathrm{Sr}\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ matrix and …
The titanium–iron–antimony ternary system and the crystal and electronic structure of the interstitial compound Ti5FeSb2
2003
Abstract Phase equilibria were established in the Ti–Fe–Sb ternary system below the TiSb2–FeSb section at 1070 K; the Sb–TiSb2–FeSb region was studied at 870 K. Investigation of the phase relations was based on X-ray diffraction experiments on arc-melted bulk alloys, which were annealed up to 350 h. Four ternary compounds were observed: TiFe1−xSb (0.64≤x≤0.70; defect TiNiSi-type), Ti1.18Fe0.57Sb (partially and statistically filled Ni2In-type), Ti1+xFeSb (−0.20≤x≤0.27; transformation from defect AlLiSi-type to the defect MnCu2Al-type), and new Ti5FexSb3−x (0.45≤x≤1.00; W5Si3-type). An extended solid solution up to about 10 at.% antimony was observed for the Laves phase Ti(Fe1−xSbx)2−y. Ti3Sb…
Synthesis and Characterization of Iron-Doped ZrSiO4 Solid Solutions from Gels
2011
The mechanism of formation and the structural features of tetragonal Fe–ZrO2-amorphous silica composites and particulated Fe-doped ZrSiO4 solid solutions were studied. A series of specimens with compositions Fex–ZrSiO4, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10 were prepared by sol–gel techniques and thermally annealed over the range of temperature between 400°C and 1600°C. Results confirmed the formation of tetragonal Fe–ZrO2 solid solution as first crystalline phase on the whole process leading to Fe-doped ZrSiO4 solid solution. The annealing temperature for the preparation of Fe-containing ZrSiO4 solid solutions was dependent on the nominal amount of iron. The Fex–ZrSiO4 solid solutions, with 0.02 < x < 0.08, were a…
Study of Tetragonal Phase in 0.4Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-(0.6-x)SrTiO3-xPbTiO3Solid Solutions by Second-Harmonic Generation
2015
Description of the local symmetry of relaxor ferroelectrics, especially in connection with nature of polar nanoregions, is one of the key questions in research of relaxor ferroelectrics. Unlike such well-known relaxor ferroelectrics as PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 and (Pb,La)(Zr0.65Ti0.35)O3, ternary solid solutions 0.4Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-(0.6-x)SrTiO3-xPbTiO3 show clear coexistence of phases of tetragonal and cubic symmetry, which is established by x-ray diffractometry. Since the second-harmonic generation spectroscopy is a sensitive tool in determination of deviation from symmetry, containing a centre of inversion, it is used as an additional method in characterization of structure in 0.4Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-(0.6…
Crystal growth and phase transitions of solid solutions in [N(CH3)4]2MX4 isomorph class
1989
Abstract Homogeneous single crystals of tetramethylammonium tetrahalogenometallate solid solutions have been grown: a temperature difference growth method with thermally enforced convection was used during the material transport from an equilibrated feed material to the growing crystals. The smallest crystals were mostly studied by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray crystallography. Some bigger crystals were available for dielectric measurements and Raman scattering. The temperature-concentration phase diagrams of solid solutions look like the temperature-pressure phase diagrams of pure tetramethylammonium salts. The progressive substitution seems equivalent to a change of the pres…
