Zirconia based oxide ion conductors for solid oxide fuel cells

The electrical conductivity in the ZrO₂-Ln₂O₃ and ZrO₂-MO₂-Ln₂O₃(M = Hf, Ce, Ln = lanthanides) systems has been examined.The highest conductivity of 0.3 S/cm at 1000 °C was found in the ZrO₂-Sc₂O₃ system. The addition of MO₂ into the ZrO₂-Ln₂O₃(Ln = Sc, Y, Yb) systems showed the conductivity decreasing. The conduction mechanism in the zirconia based oxide ion conductors was discussed in view of the dopant ionic radius. The aging effect of the conductivity in the ZrO₂-Ln₂O₃ systems has been measured in a temperature rang 800–1000 °C. ZrO₂ with a high content of Ln₂O₃ showed no significant conductivity degradation.

Mössbauer study of the effect of preparation parameters in rapidly quenched Fe−Cr−P−C,Fe−Cr−B and Ni(57Fe)P amorphous alloys

Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to get information about the effect of preparation parameters (quenching rate, temperature and time of solution treatment of melt) on the structure of rapidly quenched Fe₇₀Cr₁₀C₇P₁₃, Fe₇₉Cr₁₅B₁₅ and Ni₈₀ ⁵⁷Fe₁P₁₉ amorphous alloys. We have found smaller but measurable thickness dependent changes in the average Mössbauer parameters and in the hyperfine field distribution of Fe₇₀Cr₁₀C₇P₁₃ samples than those observed in Fe₇₀Cr₁₀C₁₀P₁₀ amorphous alloys [3]. On the other hand, differences were found in the hyperfine field distribution of very rapidly quenched Fe₇₀Cr₁₀C₇P₁₃ alloys with increasing time of solution treatment of melt. Changes in the average parameters and in the quadrupole splitting distribution were also observed with variation of thickness as well as of temperature of melt in the Fe₇₀Cr₁₅B₁₅ and Ni₈₀(Fe)P₁₉ samples, respectively. The finding can be interpreted in terms of changes in the short range order due to different preparation conditions.     

J-aggregates of pseudoisocyanine with long alkyl substituents in thin films: Synthesis, spectral properties, and thermal stability

The formation and properties of J-aggregates in thin solid films of pseudoisocyanines with long N-alkyl groups, obtained by centrifuging from solutions in organic solvents, were studied. It is shown for the first time that nonsymmetric cyanine dyes, containing a C₂H₅ group at one nitrogen atom and a C₁₀H₂₁, C₁₅H₃₁, or C₁₈H₃₇ group at another nitrogen atom, spontaneously form J-aggregates stable at room temperature and pressing a narrow absorption band with a half-width at half maximum of 200 cm^?1. The thermal stability of J-aggregates in thin films of pseudoisocyanines with alkyl substituents decreases in the following order: C₂H₅-C₂H₅> C₂H₅-C₆H₁₃>C₂H₅-C₁₈H₃₇>C₂H₅-C₁₀H₂₁>C₂H₅-C₁₅H₃₁. By introducing 1-octadecyl-2-methylquinolinium iodide in the film, it was found that the J-aggregates studied consist of a small number (2–4) of dye molecules.

Influence of silver on the galvanomagnetic properties and energy spectrum of mixed (Bi1− x Sbx)2Te3 crystals

An investigation is made of the temperature dependences of the resistivity in the range 4.2–300 K, the Hall effect, and the Shubnikov-de Haas effect in magnetic fields up to 40 T in (Bi_{1? x} Sb_x)₂Te₃Ag_y single crystals (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.75). Doping (Bi_{1? x} Sb_x)₂Te₃ crystals with silver showed that in Sb₂Te₃ and (Bi_{1? x} Sb_x)₂Te₃ crystals unlike Bi₂Te₃ silver exhibits acceptor properties. The angular and concentration dependences of the Shubnikov-de Haas effect were studied in (Bi_{1? x} Sb_x)₂Te₃Ag_y. It was established that the anisotropy of the ellipsoids of the upper valence band in Bi_0.5Sb_1.5Te₃ remains unchanged as a result of silver doping.

A Mössbauer effect study of the interstitial hydrides and nitride of Nd2Fe17

The Mössbauer effect spectra of Nd₂Fe₁₇H₃, Nd₂Fe₁₇H₅, and Nd₂Fe₁₇N₃ have been measured at several temperatures between 85 and 295 K and fitted with a model which is similar to that used for the analysis of the Mössbauer effect spectra of Nd₂Fe₁₇ and Nd₂Fe₁₇N_2.6. The weighted average isomer shift increases in going from Nd₂Fe₁₇ to its hydrides and nitride, an increase which results mainly from the lattice expansion. The changes in the individual isomer shifts upon hydrogenation may be understood in terms of the expansion of the Wigner-Seitz cell volume and the presence of hydrogen or nitrogen near neighbors at a specific site. The 295 K weighted average hyperfine field increases from 157 kOe in Nd₂Fe₁₇ to 243 kOe in Nd₂Fe₁₇H₃, 280 kOe in Nd₂Fe₁₇H₅, and 318 kOe in Nd₂Fe₁₇N₃, a sequence determined by the Curie temperatures. In contrast, the weighted average hyperfine field at 85 K and the saturation magnetization at 5 K for Nd₂Fe₁₇H₃ are lower than those of Nd₂Fe₁₇, presumably because of thec-axis lattice contraction which occurs upon hydrogenation of this compound. The main difference between the effect of hydrogenation and nitrogenation resides in the substantial increase observed for the 9d and 18h hyperfine fields upon nitrogenation.

Structural study of the Lu2Si2O7-Sc2Si2O7 system

Different compositions in the Lu₂Si₂O₇-Sc₂Si₂O₇ system have been synthesized following the ceramic method. All XRD patterns are compatible with the thortveitite structure (β-RE₂Si₂O₇ polymorph). Unit cell parameters change linearly with composition, which indicates a complete solid solubility of Sc₂Si₂O₇ in Lu₂Si₂O₇. ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectra show a decrease of the ²⁹Si chemical shift with increasing Sc content. A correlation reported in the literature to predict ²⁹Si chemical shifts in silicates is applied here to obtain the theoretical variation in ²⁹Si chemical shift values in the system Lu₂Si₂O₇-Sc₂Si₂O₇ and the results compare favourably with the values obtained experimentally. The FWHM values of the ²⁹Si MAS NMR curves indicate a random distribution of Lu and Sc in the structure of the intermediate members. Finally, the IR study of the system confirms the solubility of Sc₂Si₂O₇ in Lu₂Si₂O₇, showing the splitting of several modes in the intermediate members and a linear shift of the frequency on going from one end-member to the other.     

Intermediate valence of europium in EuxLa1−xBe13

Mössbauer studies of the 21.6 keV transition of¹⁵¹Eu in cubic EuBe₁₃ and Eu_1/2La_1/2Be₁₃ in the temperature range 100 K to 600 K have been performed. The position of the absorption line in EuBe₁₃ moves from 0.60 mm/s at 100 K to 0.04 mm/s at 575 K. In Eu_1/2La_1/2B₁₃ the line moves from 0.50 mm/s at 100 K to –0.03 mm/s at 500 K. We conclude that Eu in Eu_xLa_1–xB₁₃ is in an intermediate valence state and we analyze the temperature dependence of the isomer shift in terms of an interconfigurational fluctuation model. The model contains temperature independent parameters E_exc, the interconfiguration excitation energy, T_f, the valence fluctuation temperature, and S₃, the isomer shift of pure Eu³⁺ in EuBe₁₃. Assuming S₃–S₂= 13 mm/s the analysis yields S₃=0.70 mm/s, T_f=400 K and E_exc=3000 K for EuBe₁₃, whereas T_f=460 K and E_exc=2750 K for Eu_1/2La_1/2B₁₃.     

Solid state- and magneto-chemistry of the SrO-Fe2O3 system: III. The non-existence of single-phase “SrFe2O4”

A detailed Mössbauer investigation of 1 : 1 SrO : Fe₂O₃ has shown that a single phase with the SrFe₂O₄ composition does not exist in the SrO-Fe₂O₃ system when SrCo₃ and Fe₂O₃ are reacted in air. A multiphase assemblage of SrFe₁₂O₁₉, Sr₄Fe₆O₁₃, and SrFeO_3-x is observed in the material with an overall composition of “SrFe₂O₄”. By means of novel analyses of the complex Mössbauer spectra of the 1 : 1 SrO : Fe₂O₃ composition, all of the Fe containing phases have been identified and their respective mole percentages determined. The relative amounts of the phases present depend on the final firing temperature. The published X-ray powder data for “SrFe₂O₄” can be interpreted satisfactorilly in terms of the Mössbauer results, i.e., as a multiphase assemblage, and corresponds to a low temperature assemblage of SrFe₁₂O₁₉, Sr₄Fe₆O₁₃ and SrFeO_3-x for the overall composition of “SrFe₂O₄”.     

Thickness dependent activity of nanostructured TiO2/α-Fe2O3 photocatalyst thin films

The effect of thickness of TiO₂ coating on synergistic photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ (anatase)/α-Fe₂O₃/glass thin films as photocatalysts for degradation of Escherichia coli bacteria in a low-concentration H₂O₂ solution and under visible light irradiation was investigated. Nanograined α-Fe₂O₃ films with optical band-gap of 2.06 eV were fabricated by post-annealing of thermal evaporated iron oxide thin films at 400 °C in air. Increase in thickness of the Fe₂O₃ thin film (here, up to 200 nm) resulted in a slight reduction of the optical band-gap energy and an increase in the photoinactivation of the bacteria. Sol-gel TiO₂ coatings were deposited on the α-Fe₂O₃ (200 nm)/glass films, and then, they were annealed at 400 °C in air for crystallization of the TiO₂ and formation of TiO₂/Fe₂O₃ heterojunction. For the TiO₂ coatings with thicknesses ≤50 nm, the antibacterial activity of the TiO₂/α-Fe₂O₃ (200 nm) was found to be better than the activity of the bare α-Fe₂O₃ film. The optimum thickness of the TiO₂ coating was found to be 10 nm, resulting in about 70 and 250% improvement in visible light photo-induced antibacterial activity of the TiO₂/α-Fe₂O₃ thin film as compared to the corresponding activity of the bare α-Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ thin films, respectively. The improvement in the photoinactivation of bacteria on surface of TiO₂/α-Fe₂O₃ was assigned to formation of Ti-O-Fe bond at the interface.

Experimental 2CH excitation in acetylene-containing van der Waals complexes

Spectroscopic results are presented concerning the 2CH excitation around 1.5?µm in van der Waals complexes of acetylene (C₂H₂) with Ar, Kr, N₂, CO₂, N₂O and C₂H₂. Many are reviewed from the literature, with some updates. Previously unpublished results are also presented, concerning the mechanism of formation of C₂H₂–Ar in the supersonic jet, the assignment of new spectral structures in C₂H₂–N₂O, and the first observation of 2CH excitation in C₂H₂–Ne, C₂H₂–H₂O, C₂H₂–D₂O and (C₂H₂) _n . Lifetimes of these 2CH vibrationally excited dimers are discussed.     

Luminescence centers in thin films of yttrium oxide and yttrium-aluminum garnet activated with bismuth

Luminescence spectra and photoluminescence excitation spectra of Y₂O₃:Bi and Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Bi thin films were investigated. Luminescence was stimulated by the emission from two types of centers that were associated with the substitution of Bi³⁺ for Y³⁺ in sites of the crystal lattice of Y₂O₃ (Y₃Al₅O₁₂) with point symmetries C₂ and C_3i (D₂ and C_3i). The emission of Bi³⁺ in the site with point symmetry C_3i causes blue luminescence in both Y₂O₃:Bi and Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Bi films with maxima at 3.03 eV and 3.15 eV, respectively, that is related to the ³P₁-¹S₀ transition. The emission of Bi³⁺ in the site with point symmetry C₂ gives green luminescence in Y₂O₃:Bi with the maximum at 2.40 eV that is also related to the ³P₁-¹S₀ transition. The emission of Bi³⁺ in the site with point symmetry D₂ leads to ultraviolet luminescence in Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Bi with the maximum at 3.75 eV that corresponds to the ³P₁-¹S₀ transition. The red luminescence band with the maximum at 1.85 eV in Y₂O₃:Bi is due to the presence of structural defects. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 75, No. 2, pp. 202–207, March–April, 2008.     

Structural features of liquid metallic glass former

The structural parameters of Au₇₅Si₂₅ alloy, pure Au, Al₈₈Si₁₂, Cu₈₇Sn₁₃, In₉₈Al₂ and Al₉₃Ni₇ alloys have been measured by X-ray diffractometer. It is found that there are subpeaks in the pair correlation functions in liquid Au₇₅Si₂₅ alloy. The addition of Si in liquid Au results in a decrease in both the correlation radius and the coordination number of the nearest atomic neighbors. The Au₇₅Si₂₅ alloy nearest atomic distance has a more stable dependence on temperature compared to In₉₈Al₂, Al₉₃Ni₇ and Cu₈₇Sn₁₃ alloys. The atomic density change of liquid Au₇₅Si₂₅ alloy is less dependent on temperature than the liquid Au and Al₈₈Si₁₂ alloy. The liquid metallic good glass former Au₇₅Si₂₅ alloy possesses a more stable liquid structure than that of poor glass formers, indicating the essential of the fragility of the superheated melts.     

An experimental study of the premixed benzene/oxygen/argon flame with tunable synchrotron photoionization

A comprehensive experimental study of the premixed benzene/oxygen/argon flame at 4.0 kPa with a fuel equivalence ratio (?) of 1.78 has been performed with the tunable synchrotron photoionization and molecular-beam sampling mass spectrometry. Isomers of most observed species in the flame have been unambiguously identified by measurements of the photoionization efficiency spectra. Mole fraction profiles of species up to C₁₆H₁₀ have been measured at the selective photon energies near ionization thresholds, and the flame temperature profile is obtained using Pt/Pt-13%Rh thermocouple. Compared with previous studies on benzene flames by Bittner and Howard, and by Defoeux et al., a number of new species are observed in the present work. These new combustion intermediates should be included in the kinetic models of the growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzene oxidation. Free radicals detected in the flame include CH₃, C₂H, C₂H₃, C₂H₅, C₃H, C₃H₃, C₃H₅, C₄H, C₄H₃, C₄H₅, C₄H₇, C₅H₃, C₅H₅, C₅H₇, C₆H₅, C₆H₅O, C₇H₇, and C₉H₇. More significantly, isomers of some PAHs have been identified, which should be of importance in understanding the mechanism of soot formation.     

Positron annihilation probing of crystallization effects in TAS-235 glass affected by Ga additions

Crystallization effects in Te₂₀As₃₀Se₅₀ glass known also as TAS-235 affected by Ga additions to Ga₂Te₂₀As₂₈Se₅₀ and Ga₅Te₂₀As₂₅Se₅₀ compositions are probed with positron annihilation spectroscopy in the measuring modes exploring positron lifetimes and Doppler broadening of annihilation line. Occurring of cubic-phase Ga₂Se₃ droplets with character nanoscale sizes in partially-crystallized Ga₂Te₂₀As₂₈Se₅₀ alloy is shown to be associated with agglomeration of intrinsic free-volume voids, this process being enhanced over microcrystalline scale in Ga₅Te₂₀As₂₅Se₅₀ alloy. Crystallization changes in the void structure of TAS-235 glass are considered in terms of free-volume evolution under the same principal chemical environment responsible for positron trapping in amorphous and partially crystallized substances.     

Effect of absorbed hydrogen on magnetic behavior of Th7Co3 and Th7Ni3

The Pauli paramagnets Th₇Fe₃, Th₇Co₃ and Th₇Ni₃ become superconducting below 1.86 K, 1.83 K and 1.98 K, respectively. These compounds absorb large amounts of hydrogen to form the very hydrogen-rich phases Th₇Fe₃H₃₀, Th₇Co₃H₂₂ and Th₇Ni₃H₂₄. From magnetization studies it is found that hydrogenation results in an increase in the susceptibility of Th₇Co₃, and in a decrease in the susceptibility of Th₇Ni₃, but magnetic ordering is not observed in these two. This is in contrast to the behavior of Th₇Fe₃H₃₀ which is magnetically ordered with a Curie temperature above 350 K.
