Relaxor-based 0.7Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.3PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) thin films were grown epitaxially on silicon substrates by sol-gel method and PbO cover coat technique, and investigated by x-ray diffraction, auger electron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The phase development and microstrure evolution of the PMN-PT film were significantly affected by the final annealing temperature and time. A perovskite PMN-PT film was obtained after annealing at 850oC for 1 min. Then, highly <100>-oriented and textured PMN-PT films could be achieved by using a LaNiO3 perovskite template.

Abstract In this work, the PbFe12O19 nanoparticles were prepared by the simple and optimized precipitation method with different organic surfactants and capping agents. In the next step, the TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol-gel method. At the final step, the PbFe12O19-TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared via the sol-gel method. The effect of the precipitating agent on the morphology and particle size of the products was investigated. The prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results obtained by the vibrating sample magnetometer show the magnetic properties of the ferrite nanostructures. The photocatalytic effect of the PbFe12O19-TiO2 nanocomposite on the elimination of the azo dyes (acid black, acid violet and acid blue) under ultraviolet light irradiation was evaluated. The results indicate that the prepared nanocomposites have acceptable magnetic and photocatalytic performance.

Abstract Un-doped and ZnAlxO(1.5x + 1):0.1% Tb3+ (ZAOT) nano-powders were synthesized via citrate sol-gel method. The Alx moles were varied in the range of 0.25 ≤ x ≤ 5.0. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data revealed that for the x < 1.5, the prepared samples crystal structure consists of mixed phases of the cubic ZnAl2O4 and hexagonal ZnO phases, while for the x ≥ 1.5 the structure consists of single phase of cubic ZnAl2O4. This was confirmed by the Raman and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) vibrational spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that varying Alx moles influences the morphology while Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows the dual morphology at x < 1.5. The photoluminescence (PL) revealed intense and distinct emissions attributed to both the host and Tb3+ transitions. The emission intensity highly depends on the Alx moles. The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) colour chromaticity showed that the emission colour could be tuned by varying the Alx moles.

Epitaxially grown (Ba,Sr)TiO3 thin films were prepared on platinum-coated silicon substrate by sol-gel method using a (Ba,Sr)TiO3 sol derived from Ba(CH3COO)2, Sr(CH3COO)2 and Ti(O-i-C3H7)4. The morphology of the films was found to depend on the annealing condition. A columnar structure was obtained for (Ba,Sr)TiO3 thin film by annealing at 800 °C and a columnar grain was found to be single crystal by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The columnar grown film exhibits a preferred (111) orientation that follows the (111) orientation of Pt substrate. Measurement of the C-V in MFM was configured in order to demonstrate good dielectric properties. Obtained films showed high voltage tunability.

Sol Gel Process

Nanostructured SnO2 was prepared based on the sol-gel method used in the preparation of crystalline metal oxides. Sol-gel process can be described as a forming network of oxide polycondensation reaction of a molecular precursor in a liquid. Six experiments were carried out. Morphological structures and chemical composition were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after calcination. It is noted that TEM images show that the spheres consist from nanocrystals, quantitative EDS analysis of the chemical composition shows an absence of the chlorine, which is a desired fact. For structural characterization of the material we used X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The X-ray diffraction pattern for all samples indicates peaks which are agreeable with standard diffraction pattern of SnO2. The particle size of all samples was in the range of 28-92 nm calculated according to Scherrer equation.

This work presents the result of structure investigations of V2O5nanorods grown from thin films and powders prepared by sol-gel method. To examine the best temperature of nanorods crystallization, thin films deposited by spin-coating method on quartz glass or silicon substrates and bulk xerogel powders were annealed at various temperatures ranging from 100°C to 600°C. The structure of the samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction method (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and mass spectroscopy (MS). The rod-like structure of V2O5was obtained at 600°C on both quartz glass and silicon substrates and also from the bulk xerogel. The growth process and the effect of annealing treatment on the nanostructure are briefly discussed.

This work is concerned with development of sol–gel method for preparation of nanoscaled TiO2 using organometallic precursor—titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) and determination of the present crystalline phases depending on the temperature of further thermal treatment. The characteristic processes and transformations during the thermal treatment were determined by means of thermal gravimetric analysis and/or differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) method. The crystalline structure and size of the TiO2 crystallites were analyzed by means of Raman spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) method. At 250 °C, cryptocrystalline structure was detected, where amorphous TiO2 is accompanied with crystalline anatase. The anatase crystallite phase is stable up to 650 °C, whereas at higher temperature rutile transformation begins. It was observed that at 800 °C, almost the whole TiO2 is transformed to rutile phase. According to XRPD analysis, the increase of the temperature influences on the increase of the size of the crystalline particles ranging from 6 nm at 250 °C to less than 100 nm at 800 °C. The size and shape of the TiO2 crystalline particles were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The shape of the studied samples changes from nanospheres (250, 380, and 550 °C) to nanorods (650 and 800 °C). Morphology of the formed TiO2 aggregates was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Patterned octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was fabricated on silicon substrates, utilizing short wave UV irradiation meter (λ=184.9nm) as the photolithograph apparatus under the cover of the photomask. The patterned BiFeO3 were prepared on the functional OTS-SAMs by sol-gel method. The characterization of the samples patterns was carried out by various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). The results indicate that the pattern BiFeO3 thin films were successfully prepared on the functional OTS-SAMs by sol-gel method and the thin films were BiFeO3 thin films with hexagonal perovskite distorted structure which has clear boundaries and 200µm deposited lines width.

Li–Ni–Co ferrite samples with compositional formula Li[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]Fe[Formula: see text]O4 with [Formula: see text] ranging from 0.00 to 0.1 in steps of 0.02 were prepared by sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of single phase with spinel structure in all the samples. The lattice constant evaluated from XRD data was found to increase with increase of Co[Formula: see text] substitution and crystallite size was observed in the range of 30–59 nm. The microstructure of the samples was studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Nanocrystalline nature of ferrites was also confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] measurements were made using a vibrating sample magnetometer and hysteresis parameters such as saturation magnetization and coercivity were obtained for all compositions. The frequency variations of initial permeability and permeability loss showed a dispersive behavior for all compositions and an increase in initial permeability is observed with increase of Co[Formula: see text] substitution. The results obtained and mechanisms involved are discussed in the paper.
