Ceramics of (1-x)CaCu3Ti4O12-xBi2/3Cu3Ti4O12, i.e., CCTO-BCTO, with x=0, 0.01, 0.1 and 0.25, respectively, were prepared via the conventional solid-state reaction. The phase structure of the ceramics was identified by X-ray diffraction. The microstructure of the sample was observed with scanning electron microscopy. Dielectric properties and impedance spectroscopy were measured using a LCR Meter, in which 0.9CCTO-0.1BCTO displayed highest dielectric constant (584108) and lowest dielectric loss (0.42) at 1kHz among the four kinds of specimens. Based on series of experimental results, an optimum amount of x was able to improve the dielectric properties of CCTO-BCTO, through adjusting the impedance characteristics of the grain and grain boundary.

Abstract Synthesis of thermochromic VO2 (M) was successfully done by annealing hydrothermally-prepared VO2 (B) at different temperatures and times. Conversion of the metastable VO2 (B) to the thermochromic VO2 polymorph was studied using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) under N2 atmosphere. Moreover, the phase and morphology of the synthesized samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. Accordingly, the XRD scans of all the annealed samples exhibited the presence of monoclinic VO2 (M), while the FE-SEM images of the samples showed the formation of nanorods and nanospheres, particularly those heated at high temperatures (650 °C and 700 °C). Meanwhile, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to measure the phase transition temperature (τc), hysteresis, and enthalpy of the prepared VO2. Based on these results, all samples displayed a τc of about 66 °C. However, the hysteresis was high for the samples annealed at lower temperatures (550 °C and 600 °C), while the enthalpy was very low for samples heated at lower annealing time (1.5 h and 1 h). These findings showed that crystallinity and nanostructure formation affected the thermochromic properties of the samples. In particular, the sample annealed at 650 °C showed better crystallinity and improved thermochromic behavior.

The electrical properties of resistors comprising finely divided CdO and cadmium glass, were investigated. The change in a temperature coefficient of resistance from about −500 ppm/℃ to +70 ppm/℃ was realized by addition of a further component to the resistor paste. Differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy were used for studying crystalline phases in glass containing CdO.

Two YBa2Cu3O7−x powders were investigated: one was nearly stoichiometric, and the other, CuO-rich. After being sintered at 950 °C, samples from both powders were heat-treated in oxygen at 845, 860, and 910 °C for up to 10 days. The samples were characterized by differential thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, optical and scanning electron microscopy, iodometric titrations, and measurement of their superconducting properties (electrical resistivity, critical temperature, and critical current density). The electrical properties of the nearly stoichiometric material improved with time at all temperatures. On the other hand, the electrical properties of the CuO-rich material deteriorated with temperature, possibly owing to problems associated with grain growth at 910 °C.

The influence of cooling rates on the solidification and microstructure of rapidly solidified quasicrystal alloy Mg70.8Zn28Nd1.2(at.%) was investigated. The microstructure, phase constitution, phase transition and phase structure of the alloys were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectrometer, differential scanning calorimetry. The experimental results showed that the phase composition of as-cast Mg70.8Zn28Nd1.2 alloy includes quasicrystal I-phase and Mg7Zn3 phase. For the rapidly solidified alloy ribbons, when the speed is not higher than 400 r/min, the microstructure includes I-phase, Mg7Zn3 phase and α-Mg phase. When the speed is at the range of 400-2000r/min, the Mg7Zn3 phase disappears and only quasicrystal with α-Mg phase exist. With the increase of cooling rate, the grain size decreases and there are a large number of microcrystals in the microstructure. When the speed reaches higher than 2500 r/min, amorphous phase appeared. Differential thermal analysis showed that quasicrystal exist at about 340°C.

Influences of sintering temperature on microstructure and electrical properties of TiO2 varistor ceramics were investigated. Morphologies of TiO2 ceramics samples were characterized using scanning electron microscope. The phase composition and crystal structure were researched by X-ray diffraction. The frequency dependences of the samples capacitance were determined using LCR meter, the varistor voltage V1mA and nonlinear coefficient α were discussed by experimental method. The results showed that TiO2 ceramics sintered at 1350°C for 2 h possesses fine microstructure and optimal electrical properties. However, the electrical properties of samples will deteriorate as excessive sintering temperature.

The aim of this study was to obtain 4.5%mol Y2O3-doped ZrO2dense with submicrometer grain size and studying the effects of using oxygen flow during calcination in the electrical properties of bodies sintered. The powders were synthesized by the Pechini method. After synthesis, the resins were dried and the calcinations were performed in air and in oxygen flow at 600°C for 2 h. The powders were pressed with 1600 MPa and sintered by Two Step Sintering (TSS) at 1500°C / 5 min and 1200°C, 1300oC, 1400°C, remaining at these temperatures for 2 and 10 hours. The sinterized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, apparent density, scanning electron microscopy and impedance spectroscopy. The apparent densities were greater than 94% for all conditions of calcination and sintering. The value of the activation energy was 0.7eV for the grain and 0.9 eV for the grain boundaries.

In this study the needle-less electrospinning by means of “NanospiderTM“ (ELMARCO) as technology for the preparation of fine α-Al2O3 fibers with diameters of 0.5 - 1.5 µm is presented. The fabrication consists of three steps: i) preparation of spinning solution, ii) electrospinning of the prepared solution and collection of the composite fibers, iii) calcination of the composite precursor fibers. The electrospun fibers were prepared from polyacrylonitrile/N,N-dimethylformamide (PAN/DMF) polymer solution and Al(NO3)3.9H2O in ratio 1/10/1. Thereafter, the precursor fibers were calcined in the furnace at 900, 1100 and 1200 °C with a rate of 5 °C/min in air. The formation of crystalline phases, surface morphology and diameters of metastable and final alumina fibers were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, the scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The precursor PAN/Al(NO3)3 fibers were amorphous. The thermal treatment leads to the phase transition from γ-Al2O3 to α-Al2O3 accompanied by removing of polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The fine porous microfibers composed of pure α-Al2O3 phase were prepared after calcinations at 1200 °C.

We prepared La2O3 doped SnO2 powder by a co-deposition method and used the doped material to manufacture tin dioxide electrodes by traditional ceramics methods.. The results showed that La2O3 led to an obvious decrease in electrical resistivity at room temperature but it had little influence at temperatures higher than 600 °C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and section scanning electron microscopy. We found that La2O3 increased the rate of tin dioxide crystal growth. At La2O3 concentrations as high as 1 wt%, a new La2Sn2O7 phase was present and this phase plays an important role in improving the electrical properties of the La2O3-doped SnO2.
