The preparation of 70% CoFe2O4/30% SiO2(wt%) nanocomposites by sol-gel method using three short chain diols (1,2-ethanediol, 1,3-propanediol, and 1,4-butanediol) as chelators was studied. The Fourier transformed infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns were used to confirm the formation of nanocomposites. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the chain length of the carboxylates embedded in the silica matrix influences the formation of crystallized cobalt ferrite as single phase at low temperatures. The influence of the methylene groups number in the precursors and annealing temperature on the nanocrystallite size was revealed. The stability of the obtained compounds was determined by calculation of thermodynamic parameters.

5~15 wt% MgO-CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 (MCAS, fabricated by sol-gel method) glass is used as the sintering aid of AlN ceramics. The sintering is proceeded from 1350oC~1550oC, scanning electron microscope is used to observe the sintered morphologies and X-ray diffraction pattern are used to confirm the crystal structures. From the SEM observations, as 10wt% and 15wt% MCAS is added, AlN ceramics can be densified at 1500oC and 1450oC, which are much lower than the before studies were. From the X-ray diffraction patterns, the crystal phases of MCAS-AlN ceramics are AlN, Al2O3, and cordierite phases. In this study, the dielectric characteristics of MCAS-AlN ceramics are also developed as a function of MCAS content and sintering temperature.

The Stability

ABSTRACTThe stability of single-crystalline icosahedral Cd-Yb was investigated using X-ray diffraction methods in the temperature range 20 K ≤ T ≤ 900 K at ambient pressure and from ambient temperature to 873 K at about 9 GPa. Single-crystals remain stable at low temperatures and in the investigated HP-HT-regime. At high temperatures and ambient pressure, the quasicrystal decomposes. The application of mechanical stress at low temperatures yields to the same decomposition, the formation of Cd. A reaction of icosahedral Cd-Yb with traces of oxygen or water causing the decomposition seems reasonable, but a low-temperature instability of this binary quasi-crystal cannot be ruled out totally.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the homogeneity of sol‐gel derived YBa2Cu307‐s from the solution phase to the final product using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x‐ray diffraction (XRD), and Energy Dispersive X‐ray (EDX) lateral mapping techniques. The starting solutions contain stoichiometric amounts of the metal 2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethoxide components in 2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethanol and appear to be homogeneous by TEM with a uniform distribution of particles having an average size of less than 40 â. Through elemental mapping we see elemental segregation in the high temperature (950 °C) products, which are orthorhombic by XRD. In elemental maps of gel samples fired to 700 °C, which are tetragonal by XRD, we also see elemental inhomogeneity within particles and phase zoning in maps of products from finely ground gels. A comparison of elemental maps and x‐ray diffraction patterns of the products from gel processing and conventional solid state processing is made.

System 1

Thin films in the system (1 - x) PbTiO3−xLa2/3TiO3 were prepared by the sol-gel and dip-coating methods. Phases deposited in the films and the lattice parameters as a function of the composition were investigated by the x-ray diffraction method. The solid solutions with a perovskite structure were formed as a single phase with x up to 0.9. For the composition of x = 1.0, metastable La-Ti-O perovskite phase with a small amount of the impurity phase, La2Ti2O7, was obtained. Simulation of x-ray diffraction patterns based on the defect structure model shows that the structure of the La-Ti-O perovskite phase includes randomly distributed cation vacancies at the A-site, namely (La2/3□1/3)TiO3.

In this paper, we report a large enhancement in the thermoelectric power factor in CrSi2 film via Si:B (1 at.% B content) addition. The Si:B-enriched CrSi2 films are prepared by co-sputtering CrSi2 and heavily B-doped Si targets. Both X-ray diffraction patterns and Raman spectra confirm the formation of the crystalline phase CrSi2. Raman spectra also indicate the crystallization of the added Si:B. With the addition of Si:B, the electrical resistivity [Formula: see text] decreases especially at low temperatures while the Seebeck coefficient [Formula: see text] increases above 533 K. As a result, the thermoelectric power factor, [Formula: see text], is greatly enhanced and can reach [Formula: see text] at 583 K, which is much larger than that of the pure CrSi2 film.

The Eu

ABSTRACTA Y2O3-SiO2 nanocomposite doped with Eu3+ was obtained by a sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR, 29Si NMR and laser-excited luminescence spectroscopy. It was found that small (2-3 nm) yttria nanoparticles are homogeneously dispersed in, and interacting with, the amorphous silica matrix. Luminescence spectroscopy indicates that the Eu3+ ion is preferentially located inside or at the surface of highly disordered Y2O3 nanoparticles. These luminescent nanocomposites form a class of materials which could find applications in the field of phosphors.

The compounds of Fe substitution of Al in nanotructured Sr2Fe1-xAlxMoO6(0≤x≤0.2) double perovskite have been prepared by sol-gel method. The x-ray diffraction patterns of the samples show that the samples are in nanometer range. The Curie temperature and thesaturation magnetization of the samples decrease with the increasing of Al substitution. And the magnetoresistance of the samples increase with the increasing of x.

Alkoxide Precursors

Sol-gel processing of oxide thin films offers the potential to generate different microstructures by varying process parameters such as water of hydrolysis, chemical precursor, or substrate. For this work, barium titanate (BaTiO3) thin films were prepared by the sol-gel method in order to try and generate different microstructures for dielectric measurements. However, for BaTiOs prepared using alkoxide precursors, the final microstructures of the films were found to be almost process independent. Films using different precursors, different substrates, and different amounts of water of hydrolysis all showed similar TEM microstructures. All the films after final heat treatment were polycrystalline, nanoporous, and randomly oriented BaTiO3; they were also fine-grained, with an average uniform grain size of 25-50 nm (Fig. 1). This fine-grained microstructure has also been observed in other studies of sol-gel derived BaTiO3 thin films. In addition to BaTiO3, electron diffraction patterns showed the presence of trace amounts of rutile TiO2 that were not observed by x-ray diffraction (XRD).
