scholarly journals Effect of Sintering Temperatures on Structural, Magnetic and Microwave Properties of Barium Ferrites/Epoxy Composites

This research highlights the structural magnetic and microwave properties of nanoparticles of M-type hexagonal barium ferrites (BaFe12O19). The samples were sintered at varied sintering temperatures (800, 900, and 1000 °C). The effect of temperatures on the structural, magnetic and microwave properties was highlighted. Barium ferrites are well-known materials used for radar absorbing materials (RAM). RAM materials with good absorbing performance should have high permeability, small permittivity and high magnetic or dielectric loss at microwave frequency. High microwave absorption can be created effectively in magnetic materials, as well as wideband absorption. The structural, microstructural and microwave properties were analyzed via an X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), respectively. The XRD results showed a full phase hexagonal structure was formed in the samples sintered at 900 and 1000 ºC. BaFe12O19 composite with a thickness of 3 mm showed a minimum Reflection Loss (RL) at −9.01 dB at a frequency of 9.16 GHz at temperature 1000 ºC.

Abstract In this paper, the impedance matching of the flaky carbonyl iron was improved by surface modification with binary coupling agents. The microstructure, phase and electromagnetic parameters were detected by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Agilent vector network analyzer, respectively. After binary coupling agent applied, the shape and particle size of the flaky CIP have changed significantly, whereas the phase remained α-Fe phase. On the other hand, with the addition of binary coupling agents, the complex permittivity of flaky CIP is reduced, which is beneficial to impedance matching. The doping with 2wt% calcium stearate and 2ml titanate to flaky CIP has a minimum reflection loss peak of −13 dB at the thickness of 2 mm. It is noted that the effective absorption bandwidth (RL<-10dB) is up to 0.8GHz (1.8~2.6GHz). Moreover, the magnetic tangent loss of the samples can be significantly improved by the addition of binary coupling agents. Therefore, the surface modification of binary coupling agent can make flaky CIP get better impedance matching and absorbing performance in S band.

ABSTRACTA microstructural study on surfactant templated silica films is performed by coupling traditional X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM) to Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (GISAXS). By this method it is shown that spin-coating of silicate solutions with cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a templating agent provides 3D hexagonal structure (space group P63/mmc) that is no longer compatible with the often described hexagonal arrangement of tubular micelles but rather with an hexagonal arrangement of spherical micelles. The extent of the hexagonal ordering and the texture can be optimized in films by varying the composition of the solution.

Co-Zr substituted M-type hexagonal barium ferrites, with chemical formula BaCoxZrxFe12-2xO19 (where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0), have been synthesized by double sintering ceramic method. The crystallographic properties, grain morphology and magnetic properties of these ferrites have been investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The XRD patterns confirm the single phase with hexagonal structure of prepared ferrites. The magnetic properties have been investigated as a function of Co and Zr ion composition at an applied field in the range of 20 KOe. These studies indicate that the saturation magnetization (Ms) in the samples increases initially up to the Co-Zr composition of x=0.6 and decreases thereafter. On the other hand, the coercivity (Hc) and Remanent magnetization (Mr) are found to decrease continuously with increasing Co-Zr content. This property is most useful in permanent magnetic recording. The observed results are explained on the basis of site occupation of Co and Zr ions in the samples.

GaN films doped with Mg or Zn were obtained via radio-frequency magnetron sputtering on silicon substrates at room temperature and used laboratory-prepared targets with Mg-doped or Zn-doped GaN powders. X-ray diffraction patterns showed broadening peaks, which could have been related to the appearance of nano-crystallites with an average of 7 nm. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed good adherence to silicon non-native substrate, as well as homogeneity, with a grain size average of 0.14 µm, and 0.16 µm for the GaN films doped with Zn or Mg, respectively. X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of a very small amount of magnesium (2.10 mol%), and zinc (1.15 mol%) with binding energies of 1303.18, and 1024.76 eV, respectively. Photoluminescence spectrum for the Zn-doped GaN films had an emission range from 2.89 to 3.0 eV (429.23–413.50 nm), while Mg-doped GaN films had an energy emission in a blue-violet band with a range from 2.80 to 3.16 eV (443.03–392.56 nm). Raman spectra showed the classical vibration modes A1(TO), E1(TO), and E2(High) for the hexagonal structure of GaN.

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals (NCs) were self-assembled and in-situ immobilized on the dithiocarbamate (DTCs)-functionalized polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) substrates between the organic (carbon disulfide diffused in n-hexane) –aqueous (ethylenediamine and Cd2+ dissolved in water) interface at room temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction measurement revealed the hexagonal structure of CdS nanocrystals. Morphological studies performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) showed the island-like structure of CdS nanocrystals on PET substrates, as well as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the stoichiometries of CdS nanocrystals. The optical properties of DTCs modified CdS nanocrystals were thoroughly investigated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The as-prepared DTCs present intrinsic hydrophobicity and strong affinity for CdS nanocrystals.

Abstract Y3+ substituted strontium hexaferrites having chemical composition SrYxFe12-xO19 (x= 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The structural and morphological studies of prepared samples were investigated by using X-ray diffraction technique, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the single-phase hexagonal structure of yttrium substituted strontium ferrite and the lattice parameters a and c increased with the substitution of Y3+ ions. The crystallite size also varied with x content from 60 to 80 nm. The morphology was studied by FE-SEM, and the grain size of nanoparticles ranged from 44 to 130 nm. The magnetic properties were investigated by using vibrating sample magnetometer. The value of saturation magnetization decreased from 49.60 to 35.40 emu/g. The dielectric constant decreased non-linearly whereas the electrical dc resistivity increased with the yttrium concentration in strontium hexaferrite.

AbstractNowadays, metal oxide-based electromagnetic wave absorbing materials have aroused widely attentions in the application of telecommunication and electronics due to their selectable mechanical and outstanding dielectric properties. Herein, the binary ZnO/NiCo2O4 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via hydrothermal reaction and the electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the composites were investigated in detail. As a result, benefiting from the dielectric loss, the as-obtained ZnO/NiCo2O4-7 samples possessed a minimum reflection loss value of −33.49 dB at 18.0 GHz with the thickness of 4.99 mm. This work indicates that ZnO/NiCo2O4 composites have the promising candidate applications in electromagnetic wave absorption materials in the future.

Root perforation represents an undesirable complication that may lead to an unfavorable prognosis. The aims of this study were to characterize and to compare the presence of calcium oxide (CaO) on the chemical composition of materials used for root perforation therapy: gray and white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Portland cement (PC), gray MTA+5%CaO and gray MTA+10%CaO. The last two materials were analyzed to evaluate the increase of CaO in the final sample. CaO alone was used as a standard. Eighteen polyethylene tubes with an internal diameter of 3 mm and 3 mm in length were prepared, filled and then transferred to a chamber with 95% relative humidity and a temperature of 37ºC. The chemical compounds (particularly CaO) and the main components were analyzed by energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). EDX revealed the following concentrations of CaO: gray MTA: 59.28%, white MTA: 63.09%; PC: 72.51%; gray MTA+5%CaO: 63.48% and gray MTA+10%CaO: 67.55%. The tested materials presented different concentrations of CaO. Even with an increase of 5 and 10% CaO in gray MTA, the CaO levels found in the MTA samples were lower than those found in PC.

ABSTRACTThe Nd-disilicide, which exists only in a tetragonal or an orthorhombic structure, cannot be grown epitaxially on a Si(111) substrate. However, by adding Y and using channeled ion beam synthesis, hexagonal Nd0.32Y0.68Si1.7 epilayers with lattice constant of aepi = 0.3915 nm and cepi = 0.4152 nm and with good crystalline quality (χmin of Nd and Y is 3.5% and 4.3 % respectively) are formed in a Si(111) substrate. This shows that the addition of Y to the Nd-Si system forces the latter into a hexagonal structure. The epilayer is stable up to 950 °C; annealing at 1000 °C results in partial transformation into other phases. The formation, the structure and the thermal stability of this ternary silicide have been studied using Rutherford backscattering/channeling, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.
