Thin films of single c-domain/single crystal ( PbMg 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3)1-x( PbTiO 3)x, x = 0–0.4 (PMNT) were heteroepitaxially grown on (001) SrTiO 3 and (001) MgO substrates by magnetron sputtering using a quenching process. The lattice parameters of the quenched PMNT thin films were almost the same to the bulk values independently to the lattice parameters of substrates. The quenched PMNT thin films showed stress free structural properties, although the crystal structure of thin films is modified from bulk PMNT. The electromechanical properties are the same to the bulk single c-domain single crystals.

Sputtered Films

Thin films of single c-domain/single crystal (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3－xPbTiO3 (PMN-PT), x≅0.33 near a morphotropic boundary (MPB) composition, were heteroepitaxially grown on (110)SRO/(001)Pt/(001)MgO substrates by magnetron sputtering. The heteroepitaxial growth was achieved by rf-magneron sputtering at the substrate temperature of 600oC. After sputtering deposition, the sputtered films were quenched from 600oC to room temperature in atmospheric air. The quenching enhanced the heteroepitaxial growth of the stress reduced single c-domain/single crystal PMN-PT thin films. Their electromechanical coupling factor kt measured by a resonance spectrum method was 45% at resonant frequency of 1.3GHz with phase velocity of 5500 to 6000m/s for the film thickness of 2.3μm. The d33 and d31 were 194pC/N and –104pC/N, respectively. The observed kt , d33 ,and d31were almost the same to the bulk single crystal values.

Single crystals of trichloridosulfonium(IV) hexachloridouranate(V) were obtained from the reaction of uranium(IV) chloride with an excess of disulfur dichloride and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In comparison with the structure model reported previously [Sawodny et al. (1983). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 499, 81–88.], the lattice parameters and fractional atomic coordinates were determined to a much higher precision, leading overall to an improved structure model. The ionic compound contains trigonal–pyramidal (SCl3)+ cations and slightly distorted octahedral [UCl6]− anions. The structure was refined as an inversion twin with a twin ratio of 4.4:1.

ABSTRACTWe report Raman scattering measurements for uniaxially textured and randomly oriented polycrystalline LiCoO2 min films as well as for LiCoO2 and LiCo0.4Al0.6O2 single crystals. For both the crystalline LiCoO2 thin film samples and the single crystal LiCoO2 samples, well defined phonon modes are observed at Raman shifts of 486 cm−1 and 596 cm−1corresponding to the expected Eg and Alg modes of the layered LiCoO2 crystal structure with R3m symmetry. Upon Al substitution for Co in LiCoO2, the two phonon modes appear to shift to higher energy, but further work is needed to clarify this point.

AbstractThe crystal structure of the phase Ce5AgxGe4−x (x = 0.1−1.08) has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for Ce5Ag0.1Ge3.9. This phase is isotypic with Sm5Ge4: space group Pnma (No. 62), Pearson code oP36, Z = 4, a = 7.9632(2), b = 15.2693(5), c = 8.0803(2) Å; R1 = 0.0261, wR2 = 0.0460, 1428 F2 values and 48 variables. The two crystallographic positions 8d and 4c show Ge/Ag mixing, leading to a slight increase in the lattice parameters as compared to those of the pure binary compound Ce5Ge4.

AbstractThe new compounds LiK[C(CN)3]2 and Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined. Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ima2 (no. 46) with the cell parameters a=794.97(14), b=1165.1(2) and c=1485.4(3) pm, while LiK[C(CN)3]2 adopts the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with the cell parameters a=1265.7(2), b=1068.0(2) and c=778.36(12) pm and the angle β=95.775(7)°. Single crystals of K[C(CN)3] were also acquired, and the crystal structure was refined more precisely than before corroborating earlier results.

Single crystals of Ca11N6[CN2]2 (dark red needles, tetragonal, P42/mnm (no. 136), a = 1456.22(5), and c = 361.86(2) pm, Z = 2), Ca4N2[CN2] (transparent yellow needles, orthorhombic, Pnma (no. 62), a = 1146.51(11), b = 358.33(4), and c = 1385.77(13) pm, Z = 4) and Ca[CN2] (transparent, colorless, triangular plates, rhombohedral, R3̅m (no. 166), a = 369.00(3), and c = 1477.5(3) pm, Z = 3) were obtained by the reaction of Na2[CN2], CaCl2 and Ca3N2 (if demanded by stoichiometry) in arc-welded Ta ampoules at temperatures between 1200 - 1400 K. Their crystal structures were re-determined by means of single crystal X-ray structure analyses. Additionally, the Raman spectra were recorded on these same single crystals, whereas the IR spectra were obtained with the KBr pellet technique. The title compounds exhibit characteristic features for carbodiimide units with D∞h symmetry (d(C-N) = 121.7 - 123.8 pm and ∡ (N-C-N) = 180°). The vibrational frequencies of these units are in the expected range (Ca11N6[CN2]2: νs = 1230, νs = 2008; δ = 673/645/624 cm−1; Ca4N2[CN2]: νs = 1230, νs = 1986; δ = 672/647 cm−1; Ca[CN2]: νs = 1274, νs = 2031, δ = 668 cm−1). The structural results are more precise than the previously reported data, and with the newly attained Raman spectrum of Ca11N6[CN2]2 we correct data reported earlier.
