Multiferroic Bi 1-x Sm x FeO 3(x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction measurement was carried out to characterize the crystal structure and to detect the impurities existing in these ceramics. The substitution of rare earth Sm for Bi was found to decrease the impurity phase in BiFeO 3 ceramics. There is strong evidence that both lattice constants a and c of the unit cell become smaller as the Sm 3+ content is increased. The effect of introducing Sm 3+ is shown to decrease the optical band gap for doped sample Bi 1-x Sm x FeO 3. Additionally, the temperature-dependent Raman measurement performed for the lattice dynamics study of Bi 1-x Sm x FeO 3 samples reveals a strong band centered at around 1000–1300 cm-1 which is associated with the resonant enhancement of two-phonon Raman scattering in the multiferroic Bi 1-x Sm x FeO 3 samples. This two-phonon signal is shown to broaden with increasing x. The Raman spectra at low wavenumbers are suggested to be related with magnon in this system.

Ceramic samples of Barium Zirconium Titanate ( BaZr x Ti 1-x O 3 ( BZT )) were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction method with different concentrations of x(= 0.05 ( BZT1 ), 0.10 (BZT2), 0.15 (BZT3), 0.20 (BZT4), 0.25 (BZT5), 0.30 (BZT6)). Phase confirmation of the samples was done by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. All the compositions are in cubic structure. XRD pattern was recorded for samples sintered at different sintering temperatures. Lattice parameters increased with addition of Zr +4. Doping with Zr +4 into Barium titanate resulted in interesting changes of electrical properties (dielectric, impedance and ferroelectiricity). The strong influence of Zr doping on the phase transition characteristics of the BZT ceramics was studied from the dielectric response of the samples. Diffusivity of phase transition of the BZT ceramic samples increase with Zr +4 concentration, indicating changes from normal to diffuse transition to relaxor phase transition behavior. Impedance spectroscopy reveals the presence of temperature-dependent grain, grain boundary effects. Polarization–Electricfield (PE) loop measurements are also done on the samples.

Europium-doped Na 1.45 La 8.55-8.55x( SiO 4)6( F 0.9 O 1.1)(0.000 ≤ x ≤ 0.045) phosphors were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method at 1200°C and their properties were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and a spectral analysis system. No impurities were observed. The phosphor could be excited at 254 nm, 395 nm and 465 nm to yield a reddish orange emission which was attributed to the 5 D 0 → 7 F j (j = 0–2) transitions of the Eu ion.

Compositions with x = 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 and 0.35 were synthesized in the system [Formula: see text] using conventional solid state reaction method and characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Tetragonal phase was confirmed in all the samples using Rietveld refinement of the XRD patterns and observation of their Raman spectra. Dielectric and impedance measurements were carried out in the temperature range 300–723 K in the frequency range 1 Hz to 1 MHz. The samples exhibit diffuse phase transition (DPT). Equivalent circuit model involving combination of Constant Phase angle Elements (CPE) and resistances (R) was developed which represents the data well. Expressions for the values of resistances (R) were established in terms of composition and temperature empirically. P-E loops indicated normal ferroelectric behavior for all the samples. Dielectric constant was also measured in the frequency range 8–12 GHz in the X band of microwaves.

Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2-xEuxCu3Oδ cuprates superconductor doped with Eu nanoparticles (x = 0.0000, 0.0025, 0.0200 and 0.0500) were synthesized through conventional solid state reaction method. Crystalline sucrose was added during pelletization and burn at 400°C for two hours to create low density sample. The effect of doping Eu2O3 nanoparticles on the structural and superconducting properties by means of critical temperature (Tc), critical current density (Jc), X-ray diffraction (XRD) together with Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Alternating Current Susceptibility (ACS) were studied. Based on XRD analyses, the crystallographic structure has shown slightly changed from tetragonal to orthorhombic. The amount of 2223 phase gradually decreased with the increment of Eu concentration which indicates that Eu nanoparticles substitution favours the growth of 2212 phases. The resistivity measurements show that the highest Tcvalue for doped samples found at 90 K for x = 0.0025. The FESEM images showed that the plate-like grains become smaller and distributed randomly without specific alignment due to the increment of Eu concentration.

A superconductor-polymer composite of Bi1.8Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) was prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. The phase structure of the composite was characterized by using x-ray diffraction technique. The resistivity of composite samples annealed at different temperatures was measured between 40K and 300K. The results indicate that the resistivity of the as-prepared composite increases with increasing EPR content and shows essentially a semiconducting behavior above Tc. For fixed EPR content, the resistivity of composite samples decreases with increasing annealing temperature. The composite begins to show some signs of superconducting transition at an annealing temperature of 700 °C and zero resistance is reached for samples sintered at 800°C. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) on the composite confirmed that 65% of the EPR content still present in the superconducting composite samples. SEM was used to investigate the surface morphology of the composites. Preliminary results show that the mechanical properties of the composite have been much improved compared with its parent superconductor ceramics.

Ru 1-x Sb x Sr 2( Eu 0.7 Ce 0.3)2 Cu 2 O 10-δ systems were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The structural analysis was investigated using X-ray diffraction. Electrical resistivity, Hall effect and magnetic susceptibility measurements on Ru :1222 doped with Sb are presented, together with results in the temperature range 5–300 K. Transition temperature decreases from 43 K for x = 0.00 to 20 K for x = 0.06 Sb . This may be due to a distortion of RuO 6 octahedral, which is responsible of the increase in hole localization. The Hall effect anomalous decreases below T magnetic which may be explained within a simple two-band model by a transition from localized to more itinerant behavior in the RuO 2 layer at T magnetic . The behavior of magnetic susceptibility is caused by an antisymmetric exchange coupling of the Dzyaloshinsky–Morya type between neighboring Ru moments.
