This study's goals are to fabricate and analyze the microstructure and optical properties of BT and Li-doped BT as the dependence of the Li concentrations (x) of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15. The thin films of the BT and Li-doped BT have been successfully deposited on the quartz substrates by the sol-gel method. The microstructure and optical features were characterized via XRD and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, respectively. The XRD patterns exhibit that the lattice parameter and cell volume of the Li-doped films are bigger than that of the BT due to the existence of Li doping in the BT host structure. Additionally, the tetragonality and crystallite size of all films decrease as the more Li number with the BLTO5 has the biggest lattice strain as compared to the others. Meanwhile, the optical characterization reveals that the transmittance spectra increase and the absorption edges shift to the shorter wavelengths as the addition of Li dopant indicating the bandgap values change. In contrast, the refractive index values of the films reduce by the more Li number.

Gadolinium doped SrTiO3-δ i.e. Sr1-xGdxTiO3-δ for various values of ‘x’ have been successfully synthesized using sol gel technique in the reported work. XRD patterns of the obtained ceramics are found to be sharp and well defined having no impurity phases for all the compositions. Lattice parameter ‘a’ decreases with increase in the amount of Gadolinium. XRD, FESEM and EDX studies confirm the formation of Sr1-xGdxTiO3-δ ceramics with required cubic structure. FESEM/EDX analysis reveals that ceramics possess high density with marginal inter-granular porosity. The dielectric studies show that the synthesized samples possess high dielectric constants, high ac conductivity and low loss factors which further improve with gadolinium doping

Ni[Formula: see text]Zn[Formula: see text]Mg[Formula: see text]Fe2O4 ([Formula: see text]) with lower compositions of magnesium were synthesized by the sol–gel method and sintered at 1080[Formula: see text]C for 4 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns suggest the single phase nature of the spinel-type ferrite and increase in lattice parameter for increasing magnesium content. Surface morphology reveals that grain size increases with increasing magnesium concentration. Magnesium substitution in Ni–Zn ferrites showed influence on the interatomic distance for tetrahedral A sites and octahedral B sites calculated using the standard formula. Conductivity along with dielectric measurements gives additional information on the transport mechanism for magnesium substitution in Ni–Zn ferrites calculated at lower frequencies. Both magnetic loss and dielectric loss were investigated at lower frequency to understand the losses associated with domain wall contribution for magnesium-substituted Ni–Zn ferrites.

Polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Zn nano-ferrites doped by the fractional amount of Ce3+ ions were fabricated using the sol-gel method. Characterizations of the as-prepared samples were performed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and dielectric measurements. Rietveld refined XRD patterns revealed the single-phase cubic spinel structure of the samples corresponds to the space group Fd-3m. Minor shifting of peak positions towards lower diffraction angles increases lattice parameter from 8.4105 to 8.4193 Å with the addition of Ce3+ ions. , The surface morphology and homogeneity of the samples were investigated by using SEM and EDAX spectra. Grain size obtained from SEM analysis is found in the range 29 nm to 33 nm with negligible agglomeration. Analysis of EDAX spectra confirms the stoichiometric proportion of the constituents. Substitution of Ce3+ ions shows typical ferromagnetic curves with enhanced saturation magnetization and magneton number from 54 to 63 emu/gm and 2.71 to 3.09 B respectively. Dielectric measurements of the entire samples show the typical behavior of spinel ferrite. The results predict that the samples are best suitable for high-frequency region applications.

ABSTRACTTransparent conducting cadmium tin oxide (CTO) thin films were obtained from a mixture of CdO and SnO2 precursor solutions by the dip-coating sol-gel technique. The thin films studied in this work were made with 7 coats (∼200 nm) on corning glass and quartz substrates. Each coating was deposited at a withdrawal speed of 2 cm/min, dried at 100°C for 1 hour and then sintered at 550°C for 1 hour in air. In order to decrease the resistivity values of the films, these were annealed in a vacuum atmosphere and another set of films were annealed in an Ar/CdS atmosphere. The annealing temperatures (Ta) were 450°C, 500°C and 550°C, as well as 600°C and 650°C, when corning glass and quartz substrates were used, respectively. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the films annealed in a vacuum showed that there is only the presence of CTO crystals for 450°C≤ Ta ≤ 600°C and CTO+SnO2 crystals for Ta=650°C. The films annealed in Ar/CdS atmosphere were only constituted of CTO crystals independent of the Ta. The minimum resistivity value obtained was ∼4 x 10-4 Ωcm (Rsheet= 20 Ω/□) for the films deposited on quartz and annealed at Ta=600°C under an Ar/CdS atmosphere. The films deposited on quartz showed the higher optical transmission (∼90%) with respect to the films deposited on corning glass substrates (∼85%) in the Uv-vis region. For their optical and electrical characteristics, these films are good candidates as transparent electrodes in solar cells.

The series of powders with the general formula of Ce0.8-xZrxLa0.2O1.9 (x=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) and Ce0.8-xZrxY0.2O1.9 (x=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The samples sintered at 1500°C all possess the single phase with cubic fluorite structure. The lattice parameter and the ionic conductivity decrease with increasing the content of Zr. However, the ionic conductivity of ceria co-doped with Zr and La reduces with decreasing the lattice strain.

Terbium –substituted yttrium iron garnet (Tb1.5Y1.5Fe5O12) films nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a sol-gel method. The films were deposited on the quartz substrate using spin coating technique. To study effect of annealing temperature, the annealing process was executed at 700, 800 and 900 °C in air for 2 hours. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) proved that the pure phase of garnet structure was detected for the film annealed at 900 °C. The lattice parameter increased with the increment of annealing temperature and the highest value of 12.35 Å was obtained at 900 °C. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) results showed that the particle size increased from 43nm to 56nm as annealing temperature increased from 700 to 900°C. The film’s thickness also affected by increasing of annealing temperature and become thin at 900 °C due to densification process occurred at high annealing temperature. The elemental compositions of the Tb1.5Y1.5Fe5O12 film were detected using an Energy Dispersive X-raySpectroscopy (EDX). Magnetic properties at room temperature were measured using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM).The saturation magnetization Ms increased with the annealingtemperature and showed a high value of 104emu/cm3, but the coercivity Hc of the film was decreased due to the increment of the particle size.

La-Nd co-doped barium hexaferrites, Ba0.7(LamNdn)0.3Fe12O19 (D-BaM), were successfully prepared by sol-gel method. PANI / D-BaM composites were synthesized by in-situ polymerization in solution. The structure, morphology and properties of samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), four-probe conductivity tester and vector network analyzer. The XRD patterns showed that the crystal structure of all the samples exist as M-type phases. The SEM images revealed that the particles presented a hexagonal platelet-like morphology. The magnetic properties could be improved by substitutions of La and Nd ions. The saturation magnetization (Ms) and coercive force (Hc) increased with the change of La / Nd ratio to the maximum at La / Nd = 3:1. The doped particles have also been embedded in conductive PANI to prepare electromagnetic materials, and the conductivity kept on the order of 10-2. The microwave absorbing properties of composites at 30 MHz-6 GHz improved obviously, the peak value of reflection loss could reach-7.5 dB.

Pure and silver added zinc oxide nanoparticles ( ZnO -NPs and ZnO : Ag -NPs) were synthesized through a modified sol–gel method. The prepared samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. In the XRD patterns, silver diffracted peaks were also observed for the samples synthesized at different calcination temperatures of 500°C, 700°C, 900°C except 1100°C, in addition to ZnO . TEM images indicated that the average size of ZnO : Ag -NPs increases with the amount of Ag concentration. The PL spectra of the samples revealed that the increase of Ag concentration results in the increase of the visible emission intensity, whereas by increasing the calcination temperature the intensity of visible emission of the samples decreases.
