Pure BiFeO3 ceramics and BiMnxFe1-xO3 (x=0.1, 0.15, 0.2, and 0.25) ceramics were prepared by sol-gel method. A structural phase transition from rhombohedral R3c to triangle R3m occurred in Mn-doped BFO ceramics. Mn-doped BFO ceramics exhibited better crystallinity, larger dielectric constant as well as smaller dielectric loss. Besides, a small nonlinearity of magnetization-field curves M(H) was observed, the remanent magnetization increased with the increase of manganese content, and all the BiMnxFe1-xO3 ceramics showed the typical antiferromagnetic, which could be attributed to the effective decrease in the concentration of oxygen vacancies, and the corresponding structural transition.

AbstractThe dependence of the conductivity of the films of hafnium oxide HfO_2 synthesized in different modes is studied. Depending on the modes of synthesis, the conductivity of HfO_2 at a fixed electric field of 1.0 MV/cm changes by four orders of magnitude. It is found that the conductivity of HfO_2 is limited by the model of phonon-assisted tunneling between the traps. The thermal and optical energies of the traps W _t = 1.25 eV and W _opt = 2.5 eV, respectively, in HfO_2 are determined. It is found that the exponentially strong scattering of the conductivity of HfO_2 is due to the change in the trap density in a range of 4 × 10^19–2.5 × 10^22 cm^–3. In the cathodoluminescence spectra of HfO_2, a blue band with the energy of 2.7 eV is observed which is due to the oxygen vacancies. A correlation between the trap density and intensity of cathodoluminescence, as well as between the trap density and refractive index, is found. A nondestructive in situ method for the determination of the trap density of hafnium oxide with the use of the measurement of the refractive index is proposed. The optimum values of the concentrations of oxygen vacancies for emitting devices on the basis of the films of HfO_2 are found.

Mullite is an aluminium-silicate mineral of current interest since it is a potential candidate for high temperature applications in the ceramic materials field.In the present work, conditions under which the structure of mullite can be optimally imaged by means of High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM) have been investigated. Special reference is made to the Atomic Resolution Microscope at Berkeley which allows real space information up to ≈ 0.17 nm to be directly transferred; numerous multislice calculations (conducted with the CEMPAS programs) as well as extensive experimental through-focus series taken from a commercial “3:2” mullite at 800 kV clearly show that a resolution of at least 0.19 nm is required if one wants to get a straightforward confirmation of atomic models of mullite, which is known to undergo non-stoichiometry associated with the presence of oxygen vacancies.Indeed the composition of mullite ranges from approximatively 3Al2O3-2SiO2 (referred here as 3:2-mullite) to 2Al2O3-1SiO2, and its structure is still the subject of refinements (see, for example, refs. 4, 5, 6).
