Citrate Precursor Method

In the present work, comparative study of the dielectric behavior of Mn 0.4 Zn 0.6 Fe 2 O 4 ferrite synthesized with and without H 2 O 2 (hydrogen peroxide) has been presented. The dc resistivity has been improved by the citrate precursor method as compared to the ceramic method, and it is further improved by the addition of H 2 O 2, which acts as a strong oxidizing agent. We have shown by means of X-ray diffraction that the resulting ferrite is made up of nanocrystallites and the average size of these nanocrystallites–calculated by Scherrer's formula–depends on the polarizer. The average particle size was found to be ~70 nm with H 2 O 2 and ~88 nm without H 2 O 2. The particle size is further confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Both the results are found to be in good agreement. The decrease in dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor by addition of oxidizing agent is justified by inverse proportionality between the resistivity and dielectric constant. Possible mechanisms contributing to these processes have been discussed.

Precursor Method

Many synthesis methods are available to obtain a set of specific characteristics for lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric ceramic powders. In this work, we have successfully prepared PZT powder samples through the Polymeric Precursor Method with x = 0.6, according the general formula Pb (ZrxTi1-x)O3. The powders were thermally treated from 380 to 550 oC and characterized by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (DRX) in order to evaluate the effects of thermal treatment on the phase formation and the crystallization processes. The results obtained by Raman spectroscopy were compared to refined crystal data obtained by Rietveld method, leading to coherent conclusions about the structural effects occurring along the temperature of calcination. It was possible to characterize the tetragonal perovskite phase as predominant phase occurs only after 500 oC, but its crystallinity is already determined by synthesis method. Thus, no ordering process is verified for perovskite as a function of the temperature increasing during thermal treatment, in spite of the continuous pyrochlore-to-perovskite phase transition. The pyrochlore secondary phase starts to vanish before its proper crystallization process, changing the tetragonality of previously formed perovskite phase.

Four perovskite compounds with nominal compositions of ( Gd 0.5 Th 0.5) NiO 3, ( Gd 0.5 Ce 0.5) NiO 3, ( Yb 0.5 Th 0.5) NiO 3 and ( Yb 0.5 Ce 0.5) NiO 3 were prepared by a polymeric citrate precursor method. They were either slow-cooled in the furnace or quenched to room temperature. All of them have monoclinic symmetry. Quenched samples have a slightly bigger unit cell volume and longer Ni-O bond length, and a smaller grain size than that of the furnace-cooled compounds. All samples are paramagnetic insulators in the range of 2 K to 300 K. The Th containing compounds have larger tolerance factor and Ni (1)– O (1)– Ni (2) bond angle than that of the Ce containing compounds. No mixed valence of Ce, Th and Ni is observed in these samples.
