AbstractThe stoichiometric La-Ti doped strontium-barium niobate ceramic system was obtained for different concentrations of Titanium ions (Ti=1,3,5,10,30,50 %), where the Nb5− was substituted by Ti4+ according to the following expression Sr0.255 La0.03Bao0.7Nb2−yTiyO6−y/2 (LSBN-BST). The oxygen vacancies thus created which, together with the vacancies in the A sites of the tetragonal tungsten-bronze (TTB) material structure, have an important influence on their texture and dielectric properties, due to the crucial role of the occupancy of the crystallographic sites. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy and thermoelectric analyses are reported. We report the first results for thin films of LSBNT- 7 % obtained by the PLD technique. The diffraction pattern reveals the presence of the LSBNT structure without annealing.

In this work, a deep characterization of the properties of K6Ta10.8O30 microrods has been performed. The starting material used to grow the microrods has been recovered from mining tailings coming from the Penouta Sn-Ta-Nb deposit, located in the north of Spain. The recovered material has been submitted to a thermal treatment to grow the microrods. Then, they have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, micro-Raman and micro-photoluminescence. The results of our study confirm that the K6Ta10.8O30 microrods have a tetragonal tungsten bronze-like crystal structure, which can be useful for ion-batteries and photocatalysis.

AbstractEnergy dispersive X-ray emission imaging at atomic resolution is a powerful tool to solve order–disorder problems in complex metal oxide crystals, supplementing conventional X-ray or neutron diffraction. Here, we use this method, based on scanning transmission electron microscopy, to investigate cation ordering in ternary metal oxides 4Nb2O5·9WO3 and 2Nb2O5·7WO3, which have recently attracted attention as energy storage materials in lithium-ion batteries. Their crystal structures are a tetragonal tungsten bronze-type and its hybrid with a ReO3-type ‘block structure’, respectively. Our study reveals the presence of chemical ordering of metal ions in these materials, which have previously been assumed to be solid-solutions. In particular, we show that the two types of cations, Nb and W, are well ordered in their lattices, and that the Nb ions tend to occupy one third of the pentagonal channel sites. These results demonstrate that atomic resolution X-ray emission imaging is an effective alternative approach for the study of locally ordered crystal structures.

The Ba2.64Ta11.25O30.81was prepared by conventional solid-state reaction technique as a single phase. It was found that the compound crystallizes in the tetragonal system, space group P4/mbm (No. 127) and unit-cell parameters are a = 12.508 59(8) Å, c = 3.912 81(2) Å, V = 612.218(7) Å3, and Z = 1. The crystal structure of the Ba2.64Ta11.25O30.81 phase is found to be closely related to the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure type, comprising interstitial (TaO)+ inclusions. Reference data were derived from the Rietveld analysis and reported here.

X-ray powder diffraction data are presented for nine new phases with the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure. By comparison with the structure of the M=Nb,RE=La analogue, these contain Ba in the large pentagonal sites with coordination number 15, a range of large rare-earth cations and Bi in the twelve coordinate sites, and the smaller cations, Ti and either Nb or Ta, in the octahedral framework sites. The a lattice parameter data of the tetragonal unit cell show an approximately linear variation with trivalent ion radius, apart from Dy, whose value appears to be anomalous; data for c show little variation with trivalent ion radius.

It is known that, over a composition range in a Nb2-O5-WO3 system, the crystal structure of compounds is composed of subcells with tetragonal tungsten bronze ( TIB ) type.) Different models have however been reported for some of them. The crystals are usually prepared in sealed tubes and sometimes show different colours due to a reduction in spite of a definite starting composition. Moreover, they frequently include small domains, which make the structure analysis by x-ray diffraction very difficult. In the present study we examine a series of these compounds, prepared under various conditions, by a super-high-resolution, high-voltage electron microscope ( Hitachi 1250 ),in which the lattice fringes of 2.0 Å in width can be resolved at an accelerating voltage of 1 MV under an axial illumination with equipping a specimen goniometer.2)Fig.l is a crystal structure image of 4Nb2O5.9WO3. According to electron diffractions the lattice parameters are a=12.3, b=36.6 and c=3.94 Å (orthorhombic).
