AbstractAnisotropies of the properties of the bismuth-layered perovskite SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) have been investigated using epitaxial thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition both on conducting Nb-doped SrTiO3 (STO) single crystal substrates and on Si(100) substrates. It has been found that the three-dimensional epitaxy relationship SBT(001)∥STO(001); SBT [110] ∥STO[100] can be applied to all SBT thin films on STO substrates of (001), (011), and (111) orientations. An about 1.7 times larger remanent polarization was obtained in (103)-oriented SBT films than in that of (116) orientation, while the (001)-oriented SBT films revealed no ferroelectricity along their c-axis. Non-c-axis-oriented SBT films with a well-defined (116) orientation were also grown on silicon substrates for the first time. They were deposited on Si(100) covered with a conducting SrRuO3 (110) bottom electrode on a YSZ(100) buffer layer.

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the properties of the La 0.75 Ca 0.25 MnO 3 manganite have been studied by means of spectroscopic techniques. Raman and infrared (IR) spectra of this pseudocubic manganese perovskite have been collected for the first time over a wide pressure range (0–14 GPa) using a diamond anvil cell. Preliminary results have been obtained also in the case of the Sr 1.5 La 0.5 MnO 4 layered perovskite. The Raman measurements allow us to follow the pressure evolution of the phonon spectrum of the MnO 6 octahedron vibrational modes. Through the IR measurements we study the pressure dependence of the high-frequency octahedron stretching mode and of the broad background associated to polaronic absorption. Raman results show an abrupt discontinuity at P *~7.5 GPa in both frequency and width of some of the observed phonons. The infrared absorption measurements shows a remarkable increase of the polaronic absorption which do not completely screen the phonon peak even at the maximum pressure. Our results, which are in agreement with recent high pressure diffraction data, do not support the possibility of obtaining a metallization transition in the La 0.75 Ca 0.25 MnO 3 manganite at high pressure.

Layered perovskite compounds of SrBi2Nb2−xVxO9 (x = 0.0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, and 0.08) were synthesized via a solid-state reaction method. Their optical properties, electronic band structures, and photocatalytic activities under visible light irradiation were investigated for the first time. The incorporation of vanadium into the SrBi2Nb2O9 lattice reduced the bandgap energies, allowing the compounds to effectively absorb visible light. Electronic band structure calculations revealed that the V 3d orbitals caused bandgap narrowing by forming an additional band below the conduction band, while the O 2p and Bi 6p orbitals dominantly contributed to the formation of the valence band. The photocatalytic activity tested under visible light irradiation (>420 nm) revealed that it increased linearly with the V content in the SrBi2Nb2−xVxO9 compounds until saturation at x = 0.06, which was attributed to improved visible light absorption originating from the reduced bandgap energies.

Aim and Objectives The ultrafine powders of the perovskite-like layered AII3LaM3O12 (AII = Sr, Ba; M = Nb, Ta) compounds have been synthesized by heat treatment of co-precipitated hydroxy-carbonates. The luminescence of these compounds is reported for the first time. Methods: Luminescence spectra of all studied compounds are complex and contain two main wide bands with maxima near 2.9 and 2.5 eV. These luminescence bands were assigned to radiation electron transitions in the MoO67- molecular groups of different symmetry located in the various lattice positions. Conclusion: The energy levels scheme of the MoO67- group and related radiation and absorption transitions had been proposed.

For the first time, using a method of direct interaction of crownphthalocyanine and cerium(III) acetate in the presence of strong organic base, a sandwich-type double-decker cerium(IV) bis[tetra-(15-crown-5)-phthalocyaninate] [ Ce 4+( R 4 Pc 2−)2]0 ( R 4 Pc 2− = [4,5,4',5',4″,5″,4‴,5‴-tetrakis-(1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxapentadecamethylene)-phthalocyaninate-anion]) is synthesized with 60% yield. The composition and structure of the obtained complex are confirmed using spectral methods. UV-vis, IR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass-spectrometry were used for characterization of the complex. It has been shown, that a particular feature of cerium ion in the complex with tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyanine is the stability of oxidation state +4, unlike other lanthanide ions. The Ce(IV) complex has been obtained despite using a Ce(III) salt in synthesis. It has been found that the introduction of crown ether substituents in the phthalocyanine molecule results in a decreased stability of the compound to oxidation in comparison with unsubstituted and tert-butylsubstituted cerium phthalocyaninates.

There is a growing need for anti-microbial materials in several biomedical application areas, such are hernia, skin grafts as well as gynecological products, owing to the complications caused by infection due to surgical biomaterials. The anti-microbial effects of silver in the form of nanoparticles, although effective, can be toxic to surrounding cells. In this study, we report, for the first time, a novel biomedical application of Ag0.3Na1.7La2Ti3O10-layered perovskite particles, blended with poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), aimed at designing anti-microbial and tissue engineering scaffolds. The perovskite was incorporated in three concentrations of 1, 5, 10 and 15 w/w% and electrospun using dimethylformamide (DMF) and chloroform. The morphology of the resultant nanofibers revealed fiber diameters in the range of 408 to 610 nm by scanning electron microscopy. Mechanical properties of perovskite-based nanofibers also matched similar mechanical properties to human skin. We observed impressive anti-microbial activity, against Gram-negative, Gram-positive bacteria and even fungi, to Ag0.3Na1.7La2Ti3O10 in powder as well as nanofiber-incorporated forms. Furthermore, cytotoxicity assay and immunocytochemistry revealed that perovskite-based nanofibers promoted the proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts whist maintaining normal cellular protein expression. Our study shows that perovskite-nanofibers have potential as scaffolds for biomedical applications with anti-microbial needs.
