This study deals with the ionic conduction mechanism of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) – NH4Br biopolymer electrolytes (BPEs) plasticized with ethylene carbonate (EC) prepared via solution-casting technique. The ionic conductivity of BPEs system was characterized by using impedance spectroscopy and shows the highest conductivity at ambient temperature for CMC–NH4Br BPEs is 1.12 x 10-4 S/cm and enhanced to 3.31 x 10-3 S/cm with the addition of 8 wt. % EC. The conductivity–temperature plot of the BPEs system obeys Arrhenius law where R2~1. The dielectric values were found to increase with increasing temperature thus divulged that the BPEs system to be non-Debye type. The temperature dependence of the power law exponent shows the CMC–NH4Br–EC BPEs system follows the quantum mechanical tunneling (QMT) model of conduction mechanism, where the enhanced protonation of NH4Br with addition of EC makes the charge transfer (polarons) able to tunnel through the potential barrier that exists between the lone pair electrons in carboxyl group of CMC and NH4Br.

Tetragonal Zr02 has been used as a toughening phase in a large number of ceramic materials. In this system, complex diffraction phenomena have been observed and an understanding of the origin of the diffraction effects provides important information on the nature of transformation toughening, ionic conduction, and phase destabilization. This paper describes the results of an electron diffraction study of Y203-stabilized, tetragonal Zr02 polycrystals (Y-TZP).Thin foils from the bulk Y-TZP sample were prepared by careful grinding and cryo ion-milling. They were carbon coated and examined in a Philips 400T/FEG microscope. Fig. 1 shows a typical bright field image of the 100% tetragonal(t) Zr02. The tetragonal structure was identified by both bulk x-ray diffraction and convergent beam electron diffraction (Fig. 2. A local region within a t-Zr02 grain was subjected to an intense electron beam irradiation which caused partial martensitic transformation of the t-Zr02 to monoclinic(m) symmetry, Fig. 3 A.

Na ß“-alumina (Na1.67Mg67Al10.33O17) is a non-stoichiometric sodium aluminate which exhibits fast ionic conduction of the Na+ ions in two dimensions. The Na+ ions can be exchanged with a variety of mono-, di-, and trivalent cations. The resulting exchanged materials also show high ionic conductivities.Considerable interest in the Na+-Nd3+-ß“-aluminas has been generated as a result of the recent observation of lasing in the pulsed and cw modes. A recent TEM investigation on a 100% exchanged Nd ß“-alumina sample found evidence for the intergrowth of two different structure types. Microdiffraction revealed an ordered phase coexisting with an apparently disordered phase, in which the cations are completely randomized in two dimensions. If an order-disorder transition is present then the cooling rates would be expected to affect the microstructures of these materials which may in turn affect the optical properties. The purpose of this work was to investigate the affect of thermal treatments upon the micro-structural and optical properties of these materials.
