Abstract We investigated the use of Pr1-xTbxO2-d (x=0.0-1.0) material for active layer in SOFC cathode. Pr1-xTbxO2-d (x=0.0-1.0) in single-phase fluorite structure were successfully synthesized. They are solid solution of Pr6O11 and Tb4O7. When the x is between 0.3 and 0.6, the phase transition between room temperature and 800oC were eliminated Coin cells with GDC electrolyte and Pr1-xTbxO2-d (x=0.0-1.0) active layer and LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3 (LNF) current collecting layer were made to clarify the effect of this active layer. The interface resistance of these cathodes was measured with an AC impedance method at 800oC. The cathodes withPr1-xTbxO2-d (for all composition) active layer performed better than that of reference cathode, which has no active layer (consisting only LNF layer).

It was seen during the phase relation studies on the CeO2–YO1.5 system that the ceria is able to accommodate a large anion deficiency caused by aliovalent substitution. A neutron powder diffraction study has been carried out at room temperature for the titled solid solution, Ce1−xYxO2−x/2 with x=0.32, which is an anion-deficient variant of the ideal fluorite structure. The structure has been found to be face centered cubic. No superlattice reflections have been observed indicating that the vacancies occupy the random positions in this highly defective solid solution. The bond distances and angles are also being reported.

AbstractAsymmetric n -InAs/InAs_(1 – _ y )Sb_ y / p -InAsSbP heterostructures with a narrow-gap active layer and a composition range y = 0.09–0.16 were grown by vapor phase epitaxy from metalorganic compounds. Room-temperature electroluminescence was observed at a wavelength of up to λ = 5.1 μm at a spectral maximum. The study of low-temperature electroluminescence spectra provided the possibility to establish the existence of two radiative recombination channels caused by the nature of the InAsSb/InAsSbP heterointerface. The effect produced by the chemistry of the active layer on the composition of the grown barrier layer and the formation of the InAsSb/InAsSbP heterojunction with an increase in the antimony content in the InAsSb solid solution was demonstrated.

Well-dispersed Nd1.6Eu0.4Zr2O7 solid solutions were successfully prepared by a convenient salt-assisted combustion process using glycine as fuel. The samples were characterized by XRD, Raman, TEM and HRTEM. The results showed that the Nd ion can be partially replaced by Eu ion. The substituted product was still single-phase solid solutions and the crystal form remained unchanged. TEM images showed that the Nd1.6Eu0.4Zr2O7 solid solutions were composed of well-dispersed sphere-shaped nanocrystals with an average size of 30 nm, which is consistent with the value obtained from XRD patterns using the Scherrer formula. Moreover, the fluorescent characterization of the Nd1.6Eu0.4Zr2O7 nanocrystals at 385 nm upon excitation was carried out at room temperature, and the results showed that there were some intense and prevailing emission peaks located at 590-650 nm.

Abstract In this paper we present the results of investigations into ceramic samples of solid solution (1-x)(PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3)- x(PbFe0.5Ta0.503) (i.e. (1-x)PZT-xPFT) with x = 0.25, 0.35 and 0.45. We try to find the relation between the character of dielectric dispersion at various temperatures and the composition of this solution. We also describe the magnetic properties of investigated samples. With increasing the content of PFT also mass magnetization and mass susceptibility increase (i.e. magnetic properties are more pronounced) at every temperature. The temperature dependences of mass magnetization and re­ciprocal of mass susceptibility have similar runs for all the compositions. However, our magnetic investigations exhibit weak antiferromagnetic ordering instead of the ferromagnetic one at room temperature. We can also say that up to room tempera­ture any magnetic phase transition has not occurred. It may be a result of the conditions of the technological process during producing our PZT-PFT ceramics.

The substitution of fluorine for oxygen in TiO2 was investigated by the reaction of Ti2O3, TiO2, and TiF3 under conditions of 4–6.5 GPa and 700–1400°C. The single phase of TiO2−x Fx solid solution was obtained in the region of 0≤x≤0.7. According to the x-ray diffraction data, the a and c axes of the rutile-type structure linearly increased with increasing fluorine content. The electrical resistivities of TiO2−x Fx were in the range from 10 Ω cm for x = 0.3 to 850 Ω cm for x = 0.7 at 300 K and the relationship between In ρ and 1000/T was linear. The activation energies were estimated to be from 0.17 eV at x = 0.3 to 0.28 eV at x = 0.7. Also, the thermoelectric powers at room temperature changed from 250μV/K to + 50 μV/K. The mechanism of electric conduction was discussed on the basis of the extended band model of rutile.

The Mössbauer effect has been used for investigation of the phase-transition in the region of the room temperature in a solid solution of metal-free H2Pc and iron phthalocyanine FePc : 9 H2Pc-1 FePc, showing properties, similar to the ferroelectric phase transitions. The temperature dependences of the parameters of the Mössbauer spectrum in the range - 160-+ 160 °C are given as well. The results from the investigation were discussed and compared with the data from γ-resonance in FePc.

Abstract(Pb0.35Sr0.65)(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 thin films were grown on Pt/ZrO2/SiO2/Si substrates by chemical solution deposition. As-deposited (pyrolysed at 500°C) films were amorphous and single phase films were obtained at temperature as low as 550°C with a 30 nm SrTiO3 seed layer. Dielectric constant and loss tangent at room temperature were 210 and 0.022, respectively at 100 kHz for the film annealed at 700°C. Frequency dispersion of the dielectric properties was low. The phase transition temperature (ferroelectric to paraelectric) was well below the room temperature and was around 220 K. The room temperature tunability and the k-factor at 500 kV/cm was around 45% and 16, respectively.
