ABSTRACTCoating of SiC (BP-SIGMA) fibers with alumina by a sol-gel process did not cause degradation even after heating to 1000°C in air for 24 h. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM ) methods were used to study the coating fiber interface.

Films containing the metals copper, yttrium, calcium, strontium, barium, and bismuth were grown by organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD). Depositions were carried out at atmospheric pressure in an oxygen-rich environment using metal beta-diketonates and triphenylbismuth. The films were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy, Nomarski and scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The results show that films containing yttrium consisted of Y2O3 with a small amount of carbidic carbon, those with copper and bismuth were mixtures of oxides with no detectable carbon, and those with calcium, strontium, and barium contained carbonates. Use of a partially fluorinated barium beta-diketonate gave films of BaF2 with small amounts of BaCO3.

Ultrafine alumina powders were synthesized through pyrocatechol and resorcinol mediated sol-gel process. Aluminum nitrate was applied as the Al source and PVP was the dispersant. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study displayed that γ-Al2O3 powders formed in the range of 800-900 °C, and then γ-Al2O3 transformed to α-Al2O3 at higher temperatures, pure α-Al2O3 powders could be obtained at 1000 °C by using resorcinol as organic monomer. The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that Al2O3 nanoparticles with γ crystalline phase had grain sizes in the range of 5-40 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation displayed that the morphology of the prepared α-Al2O3 powders had aggregated bodies formed by Al2O3 grains in the range of 0.2-0.5μm. These results provide a new way of preparation of alumina powders.

Y 2 SiO 5: Ce 3+ particles was synthesized by sol–gel process. In all samples treated at 1100°C, monoclinic X 1 phase for all cerium concentration. Luminescence spectra shows broad Ce 3+ luminescence in Y 2 SiO 5 host, which picks around 450 nm. The synthesized and calcined powders were characterized by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimeter (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectra (PL).

Ca3Co4O9 and Ca3-xLaxCo4O9 powders were prepared by sol-gel process. The Ca-Co-O thermoelectric material ceramics were prepared. The ceramics materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microstructure and thermoelectric properties of ceramics were researched. The results indicate that the crystal of Ca3-xLaxCo4O9 with La adding growth ideally, the material had high density and low pore rate. The Ca3-xLaxCo4O9 ceramics contain directional array plate-shaped grains with layered structure. The thermoelectric properties of Ca3-xLaxCo4O ceramics were excellent. There were high Seebeck coefficient and high electrical conductivity for Ca3-xLaxCo4O9 ceramics. The power factor increased with temperature increasing.

Nanocrystalline MgCr2O4 with a crystal size of about 20nm is synthesized by citrate sol-gel process, which is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry coupled with differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The initial crystallization temperature of MgCr2O4 spinel was at about 550°C, whereas that of the fully crystallized magnesium chromate spinel appeared at about 600°C. The crystal grain size increases with the annealing temperature and holding time.
