In this work, [Formula: see text] and Eu-doped [Formula: see text] samples were prepared by a simple solid-phase sintering method and the structure and magnetic properties were studied. The results of X-ray diffraction show that [Formula: see text] sample maintains the same rhombohedral R3c structure as [Formula: see text] sample but with a slight lattice distortion due to the Eu substitution for Bi. Compared with [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text] sample exhibits a larger remnant magnetization and a higher Curie–Weiss temperature. These results indicate that appropriate doping with Eu is effective in improving the magnetic properties of [Formula: see text] and the solid-phase sintering method used in this study is a simple and good solid-phase sintering method to prepare [Formula: see text].

In order to investigate the effects of Ba doping BiFeO 3 on multiferroic properties, Bi 1-x Ba x FeO 3(0≤x≤1)( Ba x BFO ) ceramics were fabricated via rapid solid phase sintering method, and material's structures and electrical properties were investigated. The phase transitions from rhombohedral to pseudo-cubic (x = 10%) and then to tetragonal (x = 40%) were confirmed by X-ray diffraction investigation. Although the electrical conductivity of Ba x BFO (x = 10%, 20% and 30%) ceramics was low, which is a similar trend to previous reports, an abnormal enhancement of electrical conductance was observed in Ba x BFO (x = 1%, 3% and 5%) ceramics. Such as, the electrical conductivity of Ba 0.03 BFO is calculated to be ~106 Ω⋅ cm that is five orders of magnitude higher than that of the BiFeO 3. This has been discussed and ascribed to more percent of oxygen vacancies and Fe 2+ ions in Ba x BFO ceramics, as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigation.

Rare-earth-doped compounds (Sr1.85Ln0.15)FeMoO6(Ln=Sr, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu) have been prepared by solid-state reaction. Crystal structure and magnetic properties were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. All the samples are single phase and belong to the I4/m space group. Due to the competing contributions of electron doping and steric effects, the unit-cell volume of the doped compounds changes slightly and does not vary systematically with the ionic radius of the rare-earth ions. The temperature dependence of the magnetization of (Sr1.85Ln0.15)FeMoO6indicates that the Curie temperature of the doped compounds has increased upon doping, except for the Eu-doped compound.

This study aims to fabricate and characterize a series of new complex-structured ceramics with formula (1 - x) Pb ( Zr 0.52 Ti 0.48) O 3-x Bi 3.25 Dy 0.75 Ti 3 O 12 or (1 - x)PZT-xBDT (when x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.0) using a solid state mixed oxide and sintering method. Optimum sintering temperature for this system was found to be 1000°C for 4 h dwell time. Phase analysis using X-ray diffraction indicated existence of BDT- as well as PZT-based solid solutions with corresponding lattice distortion. Scanning electron micrographs of ceramic surfaces showed plate-like structure in BDT-rich phase while typical grain structure was observed for PZT-rich phase. PZT-rich ceramics also possessed high densities due to their more equiaxed grains with high packing capability compared to the ceramics with addition of plate-shaped BDT.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

In this research, influence of adding Li2CO3 (at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) on electrical and magnetic properties of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Fe2O4 (with 60% Ni and 40% Mg) ferrite has been studied. The samples are prepared by solid state reaction method and sintered at 1300∘C for 6[Formula: see text]h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show the samples belong to single-phase cubic structure without any impurity phase. The magnetic properties (saturation magnetization and coercivity) of the samples have been investigated by VSM and found that the higher concentration of Li2CO3 reduces the hysteresis loss. DC resistivity increases with Li2CO3 contents whereas it decreases initially and then becomes constant at lower value with temperature which indicates that the studied samples are semiconductor. The dielectric dispersion occurs at a low-frequency regime and the loss peaks are formed in a higher frequency regime, which are due to the presence of resonance between applied frequency and hopping frequency of charge carriers. Notably, the loss peaks are shifted to the lower frequency with Li2CO3 additions.

In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction was used to study a deformed Cu-0.88 Fe-0.24 P alloy during heating process. The measurements were performed at room temperature and also at high temperatures up to 893 K in order to determine the recovery, ageing and recrystallization process. With the increase of temperature, the angles of copper matrix peaks moved left and the FWHM (full width at half maximum) decreased slightly. Fe3P precipitates were first detected at 533 K, reached the maximum at 673 K, and re-dissolved into matrix at 853 K. A dramatic decrease in FWHM was observed accompanied by the precipitation of Fe3P phases, indicating the reduction of lattice distortion of copper matrix.

Antimony-platinum bilayers were prepared on titanium substrates by the two-step electrodeposition in the usual baths, and then surface alloys were formed by the atom diffusion in the solid phase. The simple antimony layer was little influenced by the substrate in both the measurements of X-ray diffraction and the i - E characteristic in a sulfuric acid solution. Regarding the bilayers, the catalytic activity in hydrogen evolution reaction was very sensitive to the presence of platinum, while the hydrogen adsorbability was quite insensitive. An interaction between antimony and platinum was confirmed by the appearance of a new dissolution wave in the electrochemical measurement and the occurrence of a new diffraction in the X-ray diffraction pattern after the heat-treatment of about 400°C. Although the new diffraction disagreed with any of the reported alloys, clear diffraction pattern of PtSb 2 alloy was observed, when the bilayers were heat-treated at about 600°C for one hour. Considering the penetration depth of X-ray, the alloying of antimony and platinum seems to occur also at low temperatures at least at the top surface.

Nanocrystalline Fe-Co alloy powders, which were prepared by high-energy mechanical milling, were nitrided under the mixing gas of NH3/H2 in the temperature range from 380°C to 510°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the grain size and reaction during the processing. The magnetic properties of the nitrided powders were measured by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The results show that with the appearance of Fe4N phase after nitride treatment, and the grain-size of FeCo phase decreases with the increase of nitridation temperature between 380°C to 450°C.The saturation magnetization of nitrided alloy powder treated at 480°C is about 18% higher than that of the initial Fe-Co alloy powder, accompanied by the reduction of the coercivity. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used, attempting to further analyze the effect of Fe4N phase on microstructure and magnetic properties of the powder mixtures.
