SiCN nanowires are synthesized by pyrolysis of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSN) using ferrocene as a catalyst precursor at 1200 °C in a flowing argon atmosphere on the surface of mullite substrate, polycrystalline alumina wafer and quartz tube. In oxygen-contained argon atmosphere, SiCN/SiO2 nanocables are synthesized. The as-synthesized products are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The lengths of the nanowires and nanocables are in the millimeter range. The diameter of the SiCN nanowires grown on mullite substrate and alumina wafer ranges from about 10–70 nm, while that of the nanowires grown on quartz tube surface is in the range of around 7–10 nm. The diameters of the SiCN/SiO2 nanocables are relatively large. A vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism of the nanostructures is proposed. The electrical resistivity of a single SiCN/SiO2 nanocable is reported for the first time.

A complex rare-earth tungstate structure, present in a two-phased powder, was solved by electron diffraction, precession and high-resolution electron microscopy. The orthorhombic space groupPbnmand the atomic positions deduced from X-ray diffraction experiments were confirmed for Ce10W22O81. AC2/cmonoclinic superstructure, with cell parametersa= 7.8,b= 36.1,c= 22.2 Å and β = 100.2°, was shown and attributed to a partial oxidation of Ce3+leading to interstitial oxygen ions.

Oxynitride Glass

Using a pure α–SiC starting powder and an oxynitride glass composition from the Y–Mg–Si–Al–O–N system as a sintering additive, a powder mixture was hot-pressed at 1850 °C for 1 h under a pressure of 20 MPa and further annealed at 2000 °C for 4 h in a nitrogen atmosphere of 0.1 MPa. High-resolution electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction studies confirmed that a small amount of β–SiC was observed in the liquid-phase-sintered α–SiC with this oxynitride glass, indicating stability of β–SiC even at high annealing temperature, due to the nitrogen-containing liquid phase.

ABSTRACTZinc peroxide (ZnO2) nanocrystals were directly produced by hydrothermal process. The nanocrystals were synthesized using zinc acetate as precursor and hydrogen peroxide as oxidant agent. The ZnO2 powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results of transmission electron microscopy indicated that the ZnO2powders consisted of nanocrystals with diameters below to 20 nm and a faceted morphology. High resolution electron microscopy observations have been used in order to the structural characterization. ZnO2 nanocrystals exhibit a well-crystallized structure.

AbstractCubic and pseudocubic perovskite films on perovskite substrates are used to study the influence of the lattice mismatch on the epitaxial growth of thin films on substrates of the same structure. For the growth of the films, a metalorganic decomposition route (MOD) using 2-ethylhexanoates and neodecanoates as precursors, was developed. The decomposition of the precursors was investigated with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The films were spin-coated on (001)-oriented SrTiO3- and LaAlO3-substrates, pyrolyzed and afterwards annealed between 600°C and 1200°C. XRD-nvestigations and conventional transmission electron microscopy (CTEM) show, that epitaxial films with the orientation relationship [100](001) film ║ [100](001) substrate can be grown. With XRD, it could be shown, that not only ternary oxide films (SrZrO3, BaZrO3 and BaCeO3), but also perovskite solid solution films (SrTi0.5Zr0.5O3and BaCe0.5Zr0.5O3) can be prepared. Strong interdiffusion, detected by a shift of the film lattice parameter towards the substrate lattice parameter was found in SrZrO3- and BaZrO3-films on SrTiO3, annealed at temperatures above 1050°C. High resolution electron microscopy (HREM) studies of SrZrO3 on SrTiO3 show that a crystalline semicoherent interface with a periodical array of misfit dislocations is present.

Lithium Alloys

The effect of annealing temperature in argon atmosphere on the ability of Si-C nanocomposites to reversibly insert lithium was investigated. It was found that the higher the annealing temperature during the formation of the composite, the lower is the capacitance of the electrode made from it. X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy reveal that the reason of the capacitance decrease is formation at T  1100°C of silicon carbide of cubic modification -SiC, inactive with respect to the formation of lithium alloys or intercalates.
