Phase formation characteristics of Sr0.7Bi2.4Ta2O9 (SBT) powder, synthesized via the sol-gel and pyrolysis processes, was investigated using the thermal analysis technique. The two exotherms, appearing in the differential thermal analysis (DTA) curve, were identified as crystallization of fluorite phase and transformation of fluorite to Aurivillius phase, respectively, using x-ray diffraction. Nonisothermal kinetic analysis of the DTA results shows activation energy values for the formation of fluorite and Aurivillius phases as 192 and 375 kJ/mol, respectively, and Avrami exponent values for each reaction as 0.91 and 0.96, respectively. The results of this investigation are presented and discussed in detail to understand the phase formation mechanism in the SBT system.

ABSTRACTPhase formation characteristics of Sr0.7Bi2.4Ta2O9 (SBT) powder, synthesized via sol-gel and pyrolysis process, was investigated by using thermal analysis. Each of the two exotherms, appearing in differential thermal analysis (DTA) scan curves, was identified as crystallization of fluorite phase and transformation of fluorite to aurivillius phase, respectively by using x-ray diffraction (XRD). By applying non-isothermal kinetic analyses to the DTA results, activation energy values for the formation of fluorite and aurivillius phases were determined as 192 and 375 kJ/mol, respectively and Avrami exponent values for each reaction were determined as 0.91 and 0.96, respectively. These activation energy and Avrami exponent values were discussed in detail to understand phase formation mechanism in SBT system.

Sr0.7Bi2.4Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films were deposited on unseeded and SBT nanoparticle (approximately 60–80 nm) seeded Pt/Ti/SiO2Si substrates via sol-gel and spin-coating techniques. The SBT thin films were heated at 600 °C for 1 h to form the fluorite phase, and these fluorite films were further heated at 730–760 °C for fluorite-to-Aurivillius phase transformation. The volume fractions of Aurivillius phase formation obtained through quantitative x-ray diffraction analyses showed highly enhanced kinetics in seeded SBT thin films. Johnson–Mehl–Avrami isothermal kinetic analyses were performed for the characterization of Aurivillius phase formation in unseeded and seeded SBT thin films using the volume fraction values. The Avrami exponents were determined as approximately 1.4 and approximately 0.9 for unseeded and seeded SBT films, respectively, which reveals different nucleation modes. By using Arrhenius-type plots, the activation energy values for the phase transformation of unseeded and seeded SBT thin films were determined to be approximately 264 and approximately 168 kJ/mol, respectively. This gives a key reason for the enhanced kinetics in seeded films. Microstructural analyses on unseeded SBT thin films showed formation of randomly oriented needlelike crystals, while those on seeded ones showed formation of domains comprising directionally grown wormlike crystals. On the basis of the phase formation kinetics and microstructural development, a model representing different nucleation and crystal growth mechanisms for the unseeded and seeded SBT thin films was proposed.

Zn2SiO4:Eu3+, Dy3+ phosphors have been prepared through the sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric and ddifferential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), FT-IR spectra and photoluminescence spectra were used to characterize the resulting phosphors. The results of XRD indicated that the phosphors crystallized completely at 1000oC. In Zn2SiO4:Eu3+,Dy3+ phosphors, the Eu3+ and Dy3+ show their characteristic red(613nm, 5D0-7F2), blue (481nm, 4F9/2–6H15/2) and yellow (577nm, 4F9/2–6H13/2) emissions.

The forsterite-structure Mg2SiO4 was successfully synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using Si sols dioxide and magnesium nitrate as starting materials instead of expensive organic solvent and metal alkoxides. The as-prepared nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The results showed that the calcination process of gel consisted of a series of oxidation and combustion reactions, accompanied by significantly exothermal effects. Highly reactive nanosized Mg2SiO4 powders were successfully obtained at 850 °C with particle size of 60~80 nm.

Bioactivity is an important aspect in biomaterial science ensuring materials used are safe for clinical application. The study describes fabrication of composites containing polylactic acid (PLA) – polyethylene glycol (PEG) with incorporation of sol-gel derived 45S5 bioactive glass (BG). Thermal analysis via Differential Thermal Analysis shows a favorable point over degree of crystallization that influence cells attachment, although non-significant difference in values indicates BG has homogenously dispersed. This correlates to X-ray diffraction analysis where non-significant difference is seen in intensities of the diffraction peaks, which confirms low impact of BG brittleness properties over the fabricated composite. Composites’ pH and degradation study in Simulated Body Fluid shows a steady increment profile over time and lower degradation rate for the composite after incorporation of BG. In vitro cell proliferation study also showed that HDF cells seeded on composite film of P/BG2.5 exhibit highest cell viability with steady increment of proliferation throughout the observation period.

ABSTRACTInvestigation of the formation of new metastable phases in alloy thin films requires ways of quickly determining the crystalline structure of samples with different compositions. We report a novel technique for acquiring structural information from films intentionally grown with a composition gradient. For example, binary metal alloy films were deposited using a phase-spread sputtering method. In this way essentially the entire composition range could be grown in a single deposition. By using a narrow incident x-ray beam and a translating sample stage combined with a position sensitive x-ray detector technique, detailed information of the metastable phase diagram can be obtained rapidly. Compositional resolution of the order of ±0.2% can be achieved, and is limited by the brightness of the x-ray source. Initial results from studies of phase formation in Zr-Ta alloys will be presented. Extensions of the analysis technique to ternary systems will be discussed.

Through an X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis investigation of melt spun Al – transition metal (Al–TM) alloys, we report the formation of a highly stable and well-ordered pure icosahedral (i) phase in Al80TMl20−xTM2x(TM1 = V, Cr; TM2 = Fe, Co). The superior i-phase formation over that in the binary Al–TM alloys is interpreted in terms of the distribution of TM sites known to exist in this phase. A comparison of the i-phase formation ranges indicates the presence of two distinct classes of TM sites and a strong interaction between adjacent TM sites.

ABSTRACTPt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates seeded by SBT nanoparticles (∼60–80 nm) were used to enhance the phase formation kinetics of Sr0.7Bi2.4Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films. The volume fractions of Aurivillius phase formation obtained through quantitative x-ray diffraction (Q-XRD) analyses showed highly enhanced kinetics in seeded SBT thin films. The Avrami exponents were determined as ∼1.4 and ∼0.9 for unseeded and seeded SBT films, respectively, which reveals different nucleation modes. By using Arrhenius–type plots the activation energy values for the phase transformation of unseeded and seeded SBT thin films were determined to be ∼264 and ∼168 kJ/mol, respectively. This gives a key reason to the enhanced kinetics in seeded films. Microstructural analyses on unseeded SBT thin films showed formation of randomly oriented needle-like crystals, while those on seeded ones showed formation of domains comprised of directionally grown worm-like crystals.

Ti (OC4H9)4 was used as the Ti precursor and titanium dioxide (TiO2) was prepared by sol-gel method. During the preparation process, Fe3+ was doped and different surfactants, such as SDS, PEG, CTAB, were added to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The effect of the different type of surfactants on the structure of Fe-doped TiO2 was discussed. The photocatalysts were characterized by thermogravimetric thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The red shift of the absorption edge of the Fe-doped TiO2 prepared by using different surfactants was observed. Methyl orange (MO) solution was degraded under sunlight irradiation to evaluate the photocatalytic performance. The results indicated that the photocatalyst prepared with PEG addition had the highest activity and MO degradation ratio could reach 90% after 4 hours irradiation with the best photocatalyst.
