ABSTRACTBa0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited on La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) buffered Ti substrates. Both BST and LSCO were prepared by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were used to investigate the effect of LSCO sol concentration on the crystallinity and surface morphology of the films. The results show that with the increase of LSCO sol concentration, BST films show variation of the structure and dielectric properties. BST films for LSCO of 0.2 mol/L exhibit a better crystallinity and improved dielectric properties, with the tunability, dielectric constant and tanδ of 30%, 420 and 0.028 respectively.

The growth of hydroxyapatite, a calcium phosphate, on silica particles prepared by the sol-gel method is reported. The size of the silica sols was controlled by changing the pH of water before the mixing with the alcoxide. Particle size profiles of sols were obtained by using dynamical light scattering. The characterisation of the composites, of nanometer sizes, was performed by employing X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

The CaCu3Ti4O12 and Zr-doped polycrystalline CaCu3Zr0.05Ti3.95O12 were prepared via sol-gel method. Comprehensive characterization including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) equipped with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were employed to characterize the microstructure, morphology and composition. The dielectric properties of the CCTO based ceramics were studied using impedance analyzer. The results show that replacement of Zr in the Ti- site can achieve the effect of regulation of the dielectric properties.

ABSTRACTThe sol-gel method for the preparation of ceramics and glasses has frequently been mentioned as more advantageous as compared to conventional methods. However, there are few known examples of a direct comparison for the same material. In the present work both the processing and resultant properties for ferroelectrics such as BaTiO3, KTaO3, KNbO3 and K(Ta,Nb)O3 made by both methods are directly compared. The uniformity is evaluated by high-angle x-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and EDAX and the dielectric properties are compared. The advantages and disadvantages of the sol-gel method are discussed.

A new process was developed for synthesizing tungsten-doped vanadium dioxide VO2(M) from ammonium metavanadate. The process includes obtaining V2O5by pyrolysing NH4VO3, doping tungsten in V2O5by sol-gel method, and reducing V2O5to VO2(M) with hydrazine by hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were applied to characterizing the product. The experimental results indicated that tungsten doped VO2(M) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized. The product VO2(M) presents mainly rod-like and block-like morphology. The phase transition temperature decreases with tungsten doped amount increasing, the phase transition takes place over the range from 36.23°C to 62.16°C and the largest enthalpy of the phase transition is 16.24J/g.

Abstract Un-doped and ZnAlxO(1.5x + 1):0.1% Tb3+ (ZAOT) nano-powders were synthesized via citrate sol-gel method. The Alx moles were varied in the range of 0.25 ≤ x ≤ 5.0. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data revealed that for the x < 1.5, the prepared samples crystal structure consists of mixed phases of the cubic ZnAl2O4 and hexagonal ZnO phases, while for the x ≥ 1.5 the structure consists of single phase of cubic ZnAl2O4. This was confirmed by the Raman and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) vibrational spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that varying Alx moles influences the morphology while Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows the dual morphology at x < 1.5. The photoluminescence (PL) revealed intense and distinct emissions attributed to both the host and Tb3+ transitions. The emission intensity highly depends on the Alx moles. The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) colour chromaticity showed that the emission colour could be tuned by varying the Alx moles.

Nanostructured SnO2 was prepared based on the sol-gel method used in the preparation of crystalline metal oxides. Sol-gel process can be described as a forming network of oxide polycondensation reaction of a molecular precursor in a liquid. Six experiments were carried out. Morphological structures and chemical composition were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after calcination. It is noted that TEM images show that the spheres consist from nanocrystals, quantitative EDS analysis of the chemical composition shows an absence of the chlorine, which is a desired fact. For structural characterization of the material we used X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The X-ray diffraction pattern for all samples indicates peaks which are agreeable with standard diffraction pattern of SnO2. The particle size of all samples was in the range of 28-92 nm calculated according to Scherrer equation.

The synthesis and characterization of nickel-based aerogel prepared using nickel chloride as the precursor via sol-gel method is described. The addition of the polyacrylic acid as an template to the solution of NiCl2•6H2O can guide the gelation in the reaction to build a three dimensional open structure. The aerogel has been characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), nitrogen adsorption desorption analysis and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the nickel-based aerogel has a typical three dimensional structure made up of spherical particles with an open porous network and has high surface area about 192 m2/g, average pore diameter about 40nm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show that the aerogel prepared at room temperature belongs to amorphous material. The synthesis of nickel-based aerogel, using polyacrylic acid as an template, is especially unique in our experiment.

Thin films of LiNbO3 were fabricated on sapphire(012), MgO(OOl), and Si(111) substrates by the sol-gel process. Under optimized conditions, films deposited onto sapphire(012) were epitaxially grown. Preferred orientations, however, were not observed in the films on MgO(001) and Si(111) by x-ray diffraction measurements. Morphology of the epitaxial films on sapphire(012) was examined by scanning electron microscopy, which indicated that the films were smooth and had a pore-free surface. Electrical and optical measurements on the epitaxial films revealed that the properties of the films were very similar to those of the single crystalline LiNbO3, while films deposited onto Si(111) did not show any orientational behaviors. The highest quality films with epitaxy were obtained only on sapphire(012). The remaining substrates appeared to be not suitable for growing epitaxial LiNbO3 films by the sol-gel method.

A series of (Bi1-xLax)2Al4O9(x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.40) ceramics were prepared by sol-gel method with sintering process. Doping dependent investigations were carried out to show the influence of La atom on the structural stability. The products were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy. This showed that the second phase is increased gradually by La doping. When the value of La is 0.4, the main phase tends to become LaAlO3. Details on dielectric properties are reported. The permittivity of as-prepared doped samples increases slightly compared to pure Bi2Al4O9and excellent frequency stability is exhibited.
