Ceramic materials were synthesized in the RO(R=Ba, Sr)–Al2O3–SiO2 system using exothermic synthesis from solutions containing barium and strontium nitrates, silica and organic reducing agents (glycine and carbamide). It was shown that only the use of a mixture of glycine and carbamide as well as the addition of ammonium nitrate allows carrying out a complete exothermic synthesis with the formation of an X-ray amorphous product with a small fraction of the crystalline phase. It was established that monophase materials based on barium and strontium aluminosilicates (BaAl2Si2O8 and SrAl2Si2O8) are formed when the obtained X-ray amorphous product is heat-treated at the temperatures above 10000C. Ceramics from synthesized materials sintered at 15500C has a high refractoriness, open porosity of 0–1.0%, compressive strength of 115–120 MPa; dielectric constant of 3.25–6.0 (at the frequency of 1 MHz) and the loss tangent of (1.5–5.2)10–3. The results shows that the exothermic synthesis ensures the preparation of nano- and sub-microcrystalline powders in the system RO(R=Ba, Sr)–Al2O3–SiO2. Materials based on the obtained aluminosilicates can be used in the manufacture of protective structures for devices operating in the radio frequency band, in radar installations of aviation and rocket technology, in microwave elements, etc.

Dysprosium substituted Magnesium ferrite weresuccessfully prepared by chemical combustion method. The as synthesized powder was presintered in air at 6000C for 1hr and finally sintered at 9500C for 1hr. From X-ray powder diffraction pattern of MgDy0.03Fe1.97O4, confirmed formation of single phase cubic spinel structure. The value of crystallite size obtained from X-ray powder diffraction (311) peak , it is found to be 46.38nm.The frequency and temperature variation of dielectric parameters such as real dielectric constant (ε′), complex dielectric constant (ε") and dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) were determined using Hioki LCR - Q meter. The frequency variation of dielectric constant shows a normal dielectric behavior of spinel ferrites. The dielectric loss tangent with frequency shows similar behavior as dielectric constant. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent increases with increase in temperature

AbstractGlass-ceramic materials based on sphene, pyroxenes, apatite as well as various SYNROC formulations have been produced through melting in a laboratory electrically-heated furnace and inductive-heated melter (“cold crucible”). Materials prepared were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, electron-probe microanalysis, infra-red and EPR spectroscopies. Basic properties such as leach rates of radionuclides, density and compressive strength have been determined. Melted SYNROC-B and C phase compositions produced by induction melting are similar to hot-pressed SYNROC.

In recent years considerable progress has been made in electronic packaging substrate technology. The future need of miniaturization of devices to increase the signal processing speeds calls for an increase in the device density requiring the substrates to be designed for better thermal, mechanical and electrical efficiency.Fast signal propagation with minimum delay requires the substrate to possess very low dielectric constant. Several glasses and glass-ceramic materials have been identified over the years which show good promise as candidate substrate materials. Among these borophosphate and borophosphosilicate glass-ceramics have been recently identified to have the lowest dielectric constant (3.8). Sol-gel processing has been used to synthesize borosilicate, borophosphosilicate and borophosphate glasses and glass-ceramics using inexpensive boron oxide and phosphorus pentoxide precursors. Preliminary results of the processing of these gels and the effect of volatility of boron alkoxide and its modification on the gel structure are described. X-ray diffraction, Differential thermal analyses and FTIR have been used to characterize the as-prepared and heat treated gels.

ABSTRACTThe dielectric constant, loss tangent and Curie temperature for SrxBa(1−x)TiO3 (SBT) thin films with x = 0.2 – 0.8 have been investigated at microwave frequencies. SBT films (0.5 -3 μm thick) were grown on (100) MgO and LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition at substrate temperatures from 850 – 900 °C in 0.35 Torr of oxygen. Deposited ferroelectric films were single phase, highly oriented, and characterized by x-ray rocking curve widths of < 0.5°. Highly oriented SBT films with x-ray rocking curve widths of 72 arc seconds were observed. In general, the thin film dielectric constant at microwave frequencies is low (200–950) compared to the reported bulk value, but strongly dependent on the Sr/Ba ratio. Biasing of a ferroelectric interdigital capacitor (< 200 kV/cm) produces a change in the dielectric constant which resulted in a phase shift in the reflected signal (S11) measured as a function of frequency from 100 MHz to 10 GHz. The dielectric loss tangent measurement, as measured at room temperature and 9.2 GHz, ranges from 0.1 to 1.2 × 10−3 and depends on the Sr/Ba ratio. These data show that SBT thin films are suitable for the development of frequency tunable microwave circuits and components.

This paper presents comparative results concerning to the obtaining of porous ceramic structures obtained by pressing, slip casting and polymeric sponge method. Three compositions were prepared, using calcium carbonate as pore-generating agent and characterized by X-ray fluorescence, thermogravimetric analysis and determination of sintering behavior. Each formulation was wet mixed and dried. Then, each formulation was formed by each one of the investigated methods. The obtained samples were dried and heat treated with the appropriate heating rate for calcium carbonate degasification and sintered at 900, 1100 and 1180 °C. The sintered samples were characterized by determination of porosity, crystalline phases formed, compressive strength and permeability. Results showed that porosity and permeability depends strongly on the composition and used conformation method.

Sediments commonly contain organic material which appears as refractory carbonaceous material in metamorphosed sedimentary rocks. Grew and others have shown that relative carbon content, crystallite size, X-ray crystallinity and development of well-ordered graphite crystal structure of the carbonaceous material increases with increasing metamorphic grade. The graphitization process is irreversible and appears to be continous from the amorphous to the completely graphitized stage. The most dramatic chemical and crystallographic changes take place within the chlorite metamorphic zone.The detailed X-ray investigation of crystallite size and crystalline ordering is complex and can best be investigated by other means such as high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The natural graphitization series is similar to that for heat-treated commercial carbon blacks, which have been successfully studied by HRTEM (Ban and others).

Small additions of copper, <1 wt%, have a pronounced effect on the ageing response of Al-Mg-Si alloys. The object of the present investigation was to study the effect of additions of copper up to 0.5 wt% on the ageing response of a series of Al-Mg-Si alloys and to use high resolution analytical electron microscopy to determine the composition of the age hardening precipitates.The composition of the alloys investigated is given in Table 1. The alloys were heat treated in an argon atmosphere for 30m, water quenched and immediately aged either at 180°C for 15 h or given a duplex treatment of 180°C for 15 h followed by 350°C for 2 h2. The double-ageing treatment was similar to that carried out by Dumolt et al. Analyses of the precipitation were carried out with a HB 501 Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope. X-ray peak integrals were converted into weight fractions using the ratio technique of Cliff and Lorimer.

Pd-Ce alloys exhibit various anomalies in physical properties due to mixed valences of Ce, and the anomalies are thought to be strongly related with the crystal structures. Since Pd and Ce are both heavy elements, relative magnitudes of (fcc-fpd) are so small compared with <f> that superlattice reflections, even if any, sometimes cannot be detected in conventional x-ray powder patterns, where fee and fpd are atomic scattering factors of Ce and Pd, and <f> the mean value in the crystal. However, superlattices in Pd-Ce alloys can be analyzed by electron microscopy, thanks to the high detectability of electron diffraction. In this work, we investigated modulated superstructures in alloys with 12.5 and 15.0 at.%Ce.Ingots of Pd-Ce alloys were prepared in an arc furnace under atmosphere of ultra high purity argon. The disc specimens cut out from the ingots were heat-treated in vacuum and electrothinned to electron transparency by a jet method.
