AbstractThe ZrO2:Y2O3 solid solution formation has been followed by impedance spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The experimental sequence, after mixing 8 mol% Y2O3 to ZrO2, was: attrition milling the mixture, drying, weighing, cold pressing, thermally treating at several different temperatures and times, performing the X-ray diffraction measurements at room temperature, applying metallic electrodes, and performing the impedance spectroscopy measurements in the 300°C-600°C temperature range. A good correlation was found between the decrease of the yttria main diffraction line and the increase of the stabilized zirconia main diffraction line, showing that solid solution is attained at the expenses of yttria, as expected. The impedance spectroscopy data Z(ω, T, t) show that the bulk response follows a t1/2 law, an evidence of yttrium diffusion to zirconia. Moreover, a relationship is found between the bulk resistivity and the elimination of ion blockers for increasing sintering times. The result allowed for the determination of the activation energy for the diffusion of the slowest diffusing species (Zr4+) in ZrO2:Y2O3.

Ferroelectric Hysteresis

Ferroelectric, hysteresis, impedance spectroscopy parameters, AC conductivity, and piezoelectric properties in the ceramics of Pb 0.74 K 0.52 Nb 2 O 6 and Pb 0.74 K 0.13 Sm 0.13 Nb 2 O 6 have been studied. X-ray diffraction study reveals single phase with the orthorhombic structure. The samples were characterized for ferroelectric and impedance spectroscopy properties from room temperature to 600°C. Cole–Cole plots (Z″ versus Z′) are drawn at different temperatures. The results obtained are analyzed to understand the conductivity mechanism in both the samples. The piezoelectric constant d33 has been found to be 96 × 10-12 C/N in PKN.

All the current variants of Jayatilaka's X-ray constrained wavefunction (XCW) approach work within the framework of the single-determinant wavefunctionansatz. In this paper, a first-prototype multi-determinant XCW technique is proposed. The strategy assumes that the desired XCW is written as a valence-bond-like expansion in terms of pre-determined single Slater determinants constructed with extremely localized molecular orbitals. The method, which can be particularly suitable to investigate systems with a multi-reference character, has been applied to determine the weights of the resonance structures of naphthalene at different temperatures by exploiting experimental high-resolution X-ray diffraction data. The results obtained have shown that the explicit consideration of experimental structure factors in the determination of the resonance structure weights may lead to results significantly different compared with those resulting only from the simple energy minimization.

Good Agreement

Determination of the amount of cubic and tetragonal phase in yttria–zirconia using high-angle XRD (x-ray diffraction) has been complicated by problems of resolution and interpretation. The evidence, from electron diffraction studies, for a c→t shear transformation also needs to be taken into account. Two compositions, a 3 and a 5.7 mol % Y2O3−ZrO2, were sintered and thermally treated at different temperatures between 1450°and 1700°C. X-ray diffraction traces revealed the anticipated tetragonal (400) and (004) reflections. The region of the diffraction pattern that was thought to arise from the cubic phase could be best interpreted as a second tetragonal phase t'. The original amount of cubic phase computed from the t' reflections showed good agreement with the phase diagram of Scott. The lattice parameters of the t' phase were determined, and the volume of the tetragonal (t') unit cell was calculated.

BST ceramics with doping of 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnBO were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at 1100°. X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out to verify the structural properties. 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnBO doped BST ceramics were crystallized with weak tetragonal structure at 1100°C. The grain growth behavior and shapes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy images. The electrical properties of 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnBO doped BST ceramics were investigated by impedance spectroscopy at the different temperatures (350, 375, and 400°C). Impedance spectroscopy data presented in Nyquist plot show the existence of both grain and grain boundary effects in all specimens. 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnBO doped BST ceramics showed negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR). Also, the capacitances and resistances of grains and grain boundaries for 1, 3, and 5 wt.% doped BST ceramics were simulated through equivalent circuit with the parallelly connected capacitors and resistors. The capacitance and resistance were decreased when temperature and ZnBO dopants were increased.

<p>The formation and study of a partial solid solution <a></a><a>Az<sub>1-<i>x</i></sub>FA<i><sub>x</sub></i>PbBr<sub>3</sub></a>, using ‘similar’ sized cations azetidinium (Az<sup>+</sup>) and formamidinium (FA<sup>+</sup>), was explored via mechanosynthesis and precipitation synthesis. The composition and lattice parameters of samples from both syntheses were analysed by <sup>1</sup>H NMR and Rietveld refinement of the powder X-ray diffraction. A clear mismatch in the composition of the perovskite was found between the precipitated samples and the corresponding solutions. Such a mismatch was not observed for samples obtained via mechanosynthesis. The discrepancy suggests products are kinetically-controlled during precipitation, compared to thermodynamically-controlled mechanosynthesis. Furthermore, the cell volume as a function of composition in both 6H (Az-rich) and 3C (FA-rich) solid solutions suggests that FA<sup>+</sup> is actually smaller than Az<sup>+</sup>, contradicting the literature. In the 3C (Az-poor) solid solutions, the extent of Az<sub>1-<i>x</i></sub>FA<i><sub>x</sub></i>PbBr<sub>3 </sub>is unexpectedly smaller than Az<sub>1-<i>x</i></sub>MA<i><sub>x</sub></i>PbBr<sub>3</sub>, again in contradiction to the expectation based on the reported cation sizes. These results indicate that other factors, as yet unidentified, must also contribute to the solid solution formation of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, not simply the relative sizes of the A-site cations.</p>
