ABSTRACTThe superconducting properties of several binary and ternary fullerene compounds are investigated by means of ac susceptibility technique. The susceptibility X = X'-iX” is observed as a function of temperature for different magnetic field amplitudes (0.01 G - 20 G). The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and the fcc-lattice constants a0 are determined. Furthermore the influence of the preparation procedure, especially the treatment of the C60 starting material on the superconducting properties is discussed.

Semiconducting Behavior

The introduction of more reactive precursors for Pb and Sr (oxalates), as well as Ca (citrate) and the use of a Bi nitrate decomposition route, has increased the percentage of the high-Tc (2223) phase in the Bi—Sr—Ca—Cu—O (BSCCO) system. Partial substitution of Bi(Pb) with Sb gives an almost single (2223) phase sample. In addition, a single (2212) phase sample is obtained when high purity Bi2O3 is used as a precursor, whereas Bi acetate leads to semiconducting behavior. The morphology of the samples is studied with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the stoichiometry with energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX), and the structure with x-ray diffraction (XRD), while the superconducting properties are investigated by dc-resistivity, ac-susceptibility, and SQUID magnetometry techniques.

The effect of excess Ca2CuO3 on the superconducting properties in the (Bi, Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy, (2223) was investigated through the measurements of ac susceptibility, critical current density, and critical field. All the measurements have been performed on the samples that were identified by x-ray diffraction to consist of the mostly high Tc 2223 phase with varying amounts of excess Ca2CuO3. It was found that when the excess Ca2CuO3 is in the range 0.1 M to 0.3 M the loss peak of ac susceptibility appeared at higher temperature than that for an undoped sample, and the Jc showed a maximum at the excess Ca2CuO3 = 0.2 M, indicating that a proper amount of excess Ca2CuO3 enhanced the flux pinning. The upper critical field, Hc2, determined by using a pulse magnetic field showed a maximum at the excess Ca2CuO3 = 0.1 M, and increased linearly with decreasing temperature within the measurement regime.

Monovalent doped Pr0.75Na0.25-yAgyMnO3 (y = 0–0.10) manganite have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) as well as DC electrical resistivity and AC susceptibility measurement to clarify the influence of Ag- doped on charge ordering (CO) state. XRD analysis revealed all samples consists of essentially single phase and crystallized in an orthorhombic structure with space group Pnma. SEM images of Pr0.75Na0.25-yAgyMnO3 compound shows the successful substitution of Ag+ ions with the enhancement of the grains boundaries and sizes as well as the compaction of particles. On the other hand, resistivity and susceptibility measurements showed that the y = 0 sample exhibits insulating behavior and anti-ferromagnetic. Interestingly, the ferromagnetic-metallic transition was observed for y = 0.05 due to the revival of double-exchange (DE) mechanism as a result of weakening the Jahn-Teller effect which caused the CO state to be weakened. However, increasing of Ag-doped up to y = 0.10 induce back its transition into anti-ferromagnetic insulating behavior suggestively due to the weakening of DE mechanism.

The influences of cerium doped on low density Bi-2223 superconductor have been studied and this study examines the significant changes in the structural and superconducting properties. The nominal compositions of low density Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2-xCexCu3Oy (where x =0.000, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2) ceramic superconductor were prepared by solid state method. The effects of different Ce doping levels on the superconductor structure and superconducting properties has been investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), electrical resistance and transport critical current density (JC) measurements. The results show that TC zero and JC of the samples reduced gradually with the increase in the Ce addition. It has been observed that, the JC of low density Bi-2223 for Ce-free was measured to be 12.120 A/cm2 and 0.448 A/cm2 in x=0.025 at 60 K under zero magnetic field. As for XRD analysis showed the doping of Ce reduced the volume fraction of the 2223 phase and increased the volume fraction of the 2212 phase. FESEM results showed the surface morphology not homogenous and weak links between superconducting grains of the samples due to increase of the Ce doping.

The synthesis of glass ceramic superconductors of Bi 4 Sr 3 Ca 3 Cu y O w(3≤y≤6) and Bi 4 Sr 3 Ca 3 Cu 4−x M x O z ( M=Fe , Cr , Mn and 0≤x≤0.2) compositions is reported. The 4334 sample is found to be the optimum composition to obtain Bi-2212 superconducting phase. X ray diffraction studies indicate that the solid solubility of 3d metal ions in the 4334 system is limited to x=0.05 in the case of Fe and Cr and x=0.1 in the case of Mn. A systematic decrease in Tc with increasing dopant concentration is observed from resistivity as well as AC susceptibility measurements. Tc depression rates, however, are found to differ for different dopants. XRD studies indicate the decrease in c lattice parameter with increase in dopant content. The systematics of the superconducting transition is discussed in view of Tc depression rates.

Over time, performance of tubular backpulse pressure filters in kraft mills deteriorates, even with regular acid washing. Unscheduled filter replacement due to filter plugging results in significant costs and may result in mill downtime. We identified acid-insoluble filter-plugging materials by scanning electron microscope/energy-dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis in both polypropylene and Gore-Tex™ membrane filter socks. The major filter-plugging components were calcium sulfate (gypsum), calcium phosphate (hydroxylapatite), aluminosilicate clays, metal sulfides, and carbon. We carried out detailed sample analysis of both the standard acid-washing procedure and a modified procedure. Filter plugging by gypsum and metal sulfides appeared to occur because of the acid-washing procedure. Gypsum formation on the filter resulted from significant hydrolysis of sulfamic acid solution at temperatures greater than 130°F. Modification of the acid-washing procedure greatly reduced the amount of gypsum and addition of a surfactant to the acid reduced wash time and mobilized some of the carbon from the filter. With surfactant, acid washing was 95% complete after 40 min.

ABSTRACTChalcogenide semiconductors have been deposited epitaxially from aqueous solutions either chemically or electrochemically at growth rates of up to 0.7 μmhr−1. After recalling the basic principles of these deposition processes, results are presented concerning chemically deposited CdS on InP, GaP and CuInSe2 substrates, electrodeposited CdTe on InP, and CdSAnP heterostructures. Characterisation of these structures by RHEED, TEM, HRTEM, and glazing angle X ray diffraction allows to analyse the effects of substrate orientation, polarity, lattice match plus the influence of temperature on epitaxial growth. These results are discussed in terms of self organisation and a site selective growth mechanisms due to the free enegy of formation of each compound.

People are exposed to different kinds of diseases or various accidents in life. Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely employed for bone treatment applications. In this study, HA was extracted from sheep bones. Bio-composites were doped with 1, 5, and 10 wt.% of expanded perlite and 5 wt.% of ZrO2–MgO-P2O5. The bio-composites were prepared by the cold isostatic pressing method (250 MPa) and sintered at 900°C for 1 h. In order to evaluate the characteristics of the bio-composites, microhardness, density, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were carried out on them. Additionally, the specimens whose characteristics were determined were kept in synthetic body fluid (SBF), and their in vitro behavior was examined. As a result, it was observed that microhardness increased as both the weight and the grain size of the expanded perlite were increased. Calcium silicate, tri-calcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite were observed in the XRD analysis of all samples, and the formation of apatite structures was increased by addition of ZrO2–MgO–P2O5.
