A study of the effects of Cerium oxide nanoparticle doped with BSCCO-2223 on the microstructure and superconducting properties was carried out. All samples were synthesized using solid state reaction method. Ce concentration is varied from x = 0.0 up to 0.1 in a general stoichiometry of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca1-xCexCu3Oy. The samples were characterized structurally and electrically by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and four-point probe method respectively. XRD analysis shows that both (Bi,Pb)-2212 and (Bi,Pb)-2223 phases coexist in the samples having tetragonal crystal structure but changed to orthorhombic when x=0.10. The values of critical transition temperature, TC and critical current density, JC of the samples decreased with the increase in Ce concentration. The possible reasons for the observed degradation in superconducting and structural properties of Bi-2223 due to Ce nanoparticles addition were discussed.

We synthesized lead-free piezoelectric (Bi0.5Na0.5-xKx)TiO3 (BNKT) ceramics using a conventional solid-state reaction method. We have investigated the structural and electrical properties of the materials with x = 0.05 to 0.40. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis suggests that the BNKT ceramics show the transition from rhombohedral to tetragonal structure. The ratio of the tetragonal structure increased continuously in accordance with the increasing composition of x. The sample of x = 0.10 showed a similar ratio between the tetragonal and rhombohedral structures. Frequency-dependent dielectric measurements showed a sort of relaxor properties emerged with increasing x composition, this effect may be interpreted in terms of the formation of polar nano-regions (PNRs) in samples. The value of remnant polarization (Pr) decreases rapidly as x increases beyond the point of x = 0.10 from 25.3 μC/cm2 to 5.9 μC/cm2. On the contrary, as for inverse piezoelectric coefficient (d33*), a higher value of d33* (336 pm/V) at x = 0.10, was observed when compared with x = 0.05 (d33* = 51 pm/V). These results can be explained by the formation of PNRs and their variations with the external applied field. We here propose a possible mechanism showing the effects of dipolar defects, which can be resulted from the K ion substitution on (Bi,Na)TiO3 (BNT) ceramics.

AbstractTin dioxide (SnO2) is a promising material with great potential for applications such as gas sensors and catalysts. Nanostructures of this oxide exhibit greater activation efficiency given their larger effective surface. The present study presents results of the synthesis and characterization of tin dioxide under different conditions via oxidation of solid tin with nitric oxide. SnO2powder was characterized primarily by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, as well as complementary techniques such as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that the established synthesis conditions were suitable for obtaining rutile tin dioxide nanoparticles with a tetragonal crystal structure.

Lead free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) and (Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3)1-x(CaTiO3)x (NBT-CT) piezoelectric ceramics with the perovskite structure were studied. The NBT and NBT-CT samples were synthesized using a solid-state reaction method and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and dielectric measurements for several compositions (x = 0, 0.07, 0.15) at room temperature. The XRD analysis showed a stabilization of a rhombohedral phase at a low concentration of Ca (0 < x <0.15), whereas Raman spectra reveal a strong modification for the sample with x = 0.15. The dielectric properties of these ceramics were studied by measuring impedance in the 79-451K temperature range for unpoled and field cooling with an electric field (FC) conditions.

The effects of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticle addition on the superconducting and transport properties of (Tl0.85Cr0.15)Sr2CaCu2O7 (Tl-1212) superconductor were investigated in this paper. The Tl-1212 samples were produced by mixing high purity oxide powders through a solid-state reaction method. Nano Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 particles with compositions of 0.001 wt.%, 0.003 wt.%, 0.005 wt.%, 0.01 wt.% and 0.02wt.% with average size of 60 nm were added into the Tl-1212 powders. The transition temperatures (Tc-zero and Tc-onset) were measured using a four-point probe method. The highest Tc-zero recorded was 97 K which was exhibited by the pure Tl-1212 sample. The transport critical current, Ic, of the Tl-1212 samples were found through the 1 µV/cm criterion with temperature ranging from 30 K to 77 K. The sample with a composition of 0.003 wt.% displayed the highest value of Jc at 77 K with a value ranging up to 1780 mA/cm2. The Tl-1212 samples were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction method (XRD), energy dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDX), electrical resistance measurements and transport critical current density measurements. The Jc of the Tl-1212 superconductor has been improved through the addition of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles but adding an excessive amount has caused its Jc to degrade.

La-doped barium titanate (BaTiO3) was prepared using conventional solid state synthesis route. All peaks for sample x=0 are approaching the phase pure of BaTiO3 structure with tetragonal crystal structure (P4mm). Sintering of pressed powder are performed at 1300oC, 1400oC and 1450oC for overnight for pure BaTiO3 and 1350oC for 3 days for BaTiO3 doped lanthanum with intermittent grinding. Phase transition was studied by different x composition. The changes in the crystal structure of the composition x=0.1 and 0.2 were detected by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The phase changes between tetragonal-cubic and cubic-tetragonal depending on the temperature. Rietveld Refinement analysis is carried out to determine the lattice parameter and unit cell for BaTiO3.

Ferrite materials with the general formula Ni0.7Zn0.2Cu0.1Fe1.9M0.1O4 (M=Al and Cr) are synthesized by using the solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectra, scanning electron microscope (SEM) dielectric measurements and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques are utilized to study the various properties of the synthesized ferrites. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of single phase cubic spinel structure and the crystallite size is calculated by Scherrer’s formula found to be 20.3 and 12.5 nm. The magnetic properties were studied using pulse field hysteresis loop technique at room temperature. The saturation magnetization exhibit 98.71 and 91.69 emu/g for Al3+ and Cr3+ substituted Ni-Zn-Cu ferrites respectively. The magnetic permeability is increasing for chromium substituted compound in the frequency range 100 Hz to 120 MHz and significant modification in DC conductivity is explained on the basis of hopping mechanism.

Ceramic samples with the nominal composition (1-x) BaTiO3 + x Ba3Ti2YO8.5 (x = 0 - 0.4) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and the lattice parameters determination indicate that the samples with x≤ 0.16 exhibit a single phase cubic perovskite structure. When x > 0.16, the system is of biphasic composites, which consist of Ba(Ti0.911Y0.089)O3 and Ba3Ti2YO8.5. The microstructure observation by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) supports the XRD result. For the biphasic composites, the dielectric constant follows the Lichtenecker relation in a wide temperature range.
