Improving microwave dielectric properties of La2.98/3Sr0.01(Mg0.5Sn0.5)O3 ceramics with CuO additive

The microwave dielectric properties of CuO-doped La_2.98/3Sr_0.01(Mg_0.5Sn_0.5)O₃ ceramics were investigated with a view to their application in microwave devices. CuO-doped La_2.98/3Sr_0.01(Mg_0.5Sn_0.5)O₃ ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state method. The X-ray diffraction patterns of CuO-doped La_2.98/3Sr_0.01(Mg_0.5Sn_0.5)O₃ ceramics exhibited no significant variation of phase with sintering temperature. By adding 0.75 wt.% CuO, a dielectric constant of 20.07, a quality factor (Q × f) of 63,000 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τ_f (−77.0 ppm/°C) were obtained when La_2.98/3Sr_0.01(Mg_0.5Sn_0.5)O₃ ceramics were sintered at 1500 °C for 4 h.     

Transverse laser induced thermoelectric voltage effect in tilted La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 thin films

The transverse laser induced thermoelectric voltage effect has been investigated in tilted La_0.5Sr_0.5CoO₃ thin films grown on vicinal cut LaAlO₃ (1 0 0) substrates when films are irradiated by pulse laser at room temperature. The detected voltage signals are demonstrated to originate from the transverse Seebeck effect as the linear dependence of voltage on tilted angle in the range of small tilted angle. The Seebeck coefficient anisotropy ΔS of 0.03 μV/K at room temperature is calculated and its distorted cubic structure is thought to be responsible for this. Films grown on a series of substrates with different tilted angles show the optimum angle of 19.8° for the maximum voltage. Film thickness dependence of voltage has also been studied.     

Physical properties of the doped manganites Ln0.5M0.5Mno3 (Ln = Pr,La; M = Sr,Ca, Ba)

We present the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of some manganese oxides such as Ln_0.5M_0.5MnO₃ (Ln = La, Pr and M = Ca, Sr, Ba) in which the average ionic radius <r_A> of the A site cation is varied while keeping the Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ ratio fixed to 1. All the studied samples have a perovskite structure with rhombohedral or orthorhombic distortion. This distortion was related to the A cation size. The lattice volume increases lineraly with ( r _A) in all the range 1.179–1.3264 Å. The magnetic investigation shows that the magnetic transition temperature T _t, and magnetisation saturation M _s have similar behaviour by increasing and decreasing with (r _A). The electrical measurements show conduction by small polarons attributed to a large canting angle 9 in all the range 4–300 K in the two ferromagnetic compounds La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO₃ and La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO₃.     

Evidence of glassy ferromagnetic phase and kinetic arrest of electronic phase in Sm0.35Pr0.15Sr0.5MnO3 manganites

The effect of doping of rare earth Pr³⁺ ion as a replacement of Sm³⁺ in Sm_0.5Sr_0.5MnO₃ is investigated. Temperature dependent dc and ac magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, magnetoresistance measurements on chemically synthesized (Sm_0.5−xPr_x)Sr_0.5MnO₃ show various unusual features with doping level x=0.15. The frequency independent ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition at higher temperature (∼191 K) followed by a frequency dependent reentrant magnetic transition at lower temperature (∼31 K) has been observed. The nature of this frequency dependent reentrant magnetic transition is described by a critical slowing down model of spin glasses. From non-linear ac susceptibility measurements it has been confirmed that the finite size ferromagnetic clusters are formed as a consequence of intrinsic phase separation, and undergo spin glass-like freezing below a certain temperature. There is an unusual observation of a 2nd harmonic peak in the non-linear ac susceptibility around this reentrant magnetic transition at low temperature (∼31 K). Arrott plots at 10 and 30 K confirm the existence of glassy ferromagnetism below this low temperature reentrant transition. Electronic- and magneto-transport measurements show a strong magnetic field—temperature history dependence and strong irreversibility with respect to the sweeping of magnetic field. These results are attributed to the effect of phase separation and kinetic arrest of the electronic phase in this phase separated manganite at low temperatures.     

Effect of different annealing methods on ferroelectric properties of 0.95Pb(Sc0.5Ta0.5)O3-0.05PbTiO3 thin films

0.95Pb(Sc_0.5Ta_0.5)O₃-0.05PbTiO₃ thin films were prepared on LaNiO₃/SiO₂/Si substrate by radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and the films were annealed subsequently with repeated many times by two approaches: normal one-step rapid thermal annealing and innovative two-steps rapid thermal annealing. X-ray diffraction demonstrates that all the films were preferred (1 0 0) oriented and an appropriate repeat of annealing process can enhance perovskite phase of the films. Scanning electron microscopy suggests that the films treated by two-steps rapid thermal annealing show crack-free, uniform size grains and dense microstructure. Measurement of remnant polarization and leakage current dependence of electric field confirms that the films treated by two-steps rapid thermal annealing exhibit better ferroelectric properties than the films treated by one-steps rapid thermal annealing. The results reveal that microstructure plays an important role in enhanced ferroelectric properties of the 0.95Pb(Sc_0.5Ta_0.5)O₃-0.05PbTiO₃ thin films.     

Crystal electric field effects in Pr0.5Sr0.5CoO3

The energy structure and temperature evolution of the magnetic excitation spectra of Pr_0.5Sr_0.5CoO₃ are studied by inelastic neutron scattering. The measurements are performed on a polycrystalline sample of Pr_0.5Sr_0.5CoO₃ and its non-magnetic analogue La_0.5Sr_0.5CoO₃ on the high intensity time-of-flight spectrometer IN4 (ILL, Grenoble) in the temperature range 10 K < T < 300 K. The crystal electric field parameters in Pr_0.5Sr_0.5CoO₃ are calculated and the splitting scheme of the 4f ground multiplet of Pr³⁺ ions is determined based on the experimental data.     

A white light emitting phosphor Sr1.5Ca0.5SiO4:Eu, Tb, Eu for LED-based near-UV chip: Preparation, characterization and luminescent mechanism

In this work, we report preparation, characterization and luminescent mechanism of a phosphor Sr_1.5Ca_0.5SiO₄:Eu³⁺,Tb³⁺,Eu²⁺ (SCS:ETE) for white-light emitting diode (W-LED)-based near-UV chip. Co-doped rare earth cations Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Eu²⁺ as aggregated luminescent centers within the orthosilicate host in a controlled manner resulted in the white-light phosphors with tunable emission properties. Under the excitation of near-UV light (394 nm), the emission spectra of these phosphors exhibited three emission bands: one broad band in the blue area, a second band with sharp lines peaked in green (about 548 nm) and the third band in the orange-red region (588-720 nm). These bands originated from Eu²⁺ 5d→4f, Tb³⁺⁵D₄→⁷F_J and Eu³⁺⁵D₀→⁷F_J transitions, respectively, with comparable intensities, which in return resulted in white light emission. With anincrease of Tb³⁺ content, both broad Eu²⁺ emission and sharp Eu³⁺ emission increase. The former may be understood by the reduction mechanism due to the charge transfer process from Eu³⁺ to Tb³⁺, whereas the latter is attributed to the energy transfer process from Eu²⁺ to Tb³⁺. Tunable white-light emission resulted from the system of SCS:ETE as a result of the competition between these two processes when the Tb³⁺ concentration varies. It was found that the nominal composition Sr_1.5Ca_0.5SiO₄:1.0%Eu³⁺, 0.07%Tb³⁺ is the optimal composition for single-phased white-light phosphor. The CIE chromaticity calculation demonstrated its potential as white LED-based near-UV chip.

Structure, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (Bi1−x−yNa0.925−x−yLi0.075)0.5BaxSryTiO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

Lead-free multi-component ceramics (Bi_1−x−yNa_{0.925−x−y}Li_0.075)_0.5Ba_xSr_yTiO₃ have been prepared by an ordinary sintering technique and their structure and electrical properties have been studied. All the ceramics can be well-sintered at 1100 °C. X-ray diffraction patterns shows that Li⁺, Ba²⁺ and Sr²⁺ diffuse into the Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ lattices to form a new solid solution with a pure perovskite structure, and a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) is formed at 0.04 < x < 0.08. As compared to pure Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ ceramic, the coercive field E_C of the ceramics decreases greatly and the remanent polarization P_r of the ceramics increases significantly after the formation of the multi-component solid solution. Due to the MPB, lower E_C and higher P_r, the piezoelectricity of the ceramics is greatly improved. For the ceramics with the compositions near the MPB (x = 0.04–0.08 and y = 0.02–0.04), piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ = 133–193 pC/N and planar electromechanical coupling factor k_P = 16.2–32.1%. The depolarization temperature T_d reaches a minimum value near the MPB. The temperature dependences of the ferroelectric and dielectric properties suggest that the ceramics may contain both the polar and non-polar regions at temperatures near/above T_d.     

Photoluminescence at room temperature in Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 ceramics

We present in this paper the experimental results of photoluminescence spectra of Ba_0.5Sr_0.5TiO₃ ceramics. An emission band centered at about 920 nm has been observed at room temperature. When we change the amount of oxygen vacancies in these samples by thermal treatment, these samples show an enhancement of luminescence. Our experimental results indicate that the origin of the photoluminescence is related to the oxygen vacancies in these samples.     

Effects of dopant concentrations on phosphorescence properties of Eu/Dy-doped Sr3MgSi2O8

Long afterglow Sr₃MgSi₂O₈: Eu, Dy phosphor with high brightness was prepared by sintering at high temperature and weak reductive atmosphere. The luminescent properties of this photoluminescent pigment were studied systematically by investigating concentration effects. The analytical results indicated that the main emission peaks appear at 482 nm. The excitation and emission spectra of this phosphor show that both of them are broadband. This is ascribed to the 4f⁷→4f⁶5d¹ transition of Eu²⁺ in the pigment matrix, which is in good agreement with the calculated value of 470 nm, and implies that luminescent centers Eu²⁺ occupy the deca-coordinated Sr²⁺ sites with the host of Sr₃MgSi₂O₈.     

Research on charge-ordering state in La0.5Sr0.5MnO2.88 and La0.5Sr0.5Mn0.5Ti0.5O3 systems

The structural, magnetic and transport properties of La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO_2.88 and La_0.5Sr_0.5Mn_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ samples have been investigated systematically. Indeed, this series has been considered to understand the influence of physical parameters such as oxygen deficiency and titanium doping effect in undoped La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO₃ sample. Ceramic material based on La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO_2.88 exhibits interesting behaviours of charge-ordering (CO), ferromagnetic (FM) states and a good conductivity down to the lowest temperatures. The substitution of Ti for Mn destroyed drastically the CO, damaged the motion of itinerant e_g electrons and changed the local parameters of perovskite cell. A change of the structure from tetragonal to rhombohedral symmetry is observed causing a weakening of double-exchange interaction. The experiment results show that the suppression of the CO is sensitive to the variety of Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ ratio. In a field of 8 T at 10 K, FM and CO phase can be evaluated to be ∼20:80 according to the μ_exp/μ_cal ratio for La_0.5Sr_0.5MnO_2.88, whereas the CO state is suppressed for La_0.5Sr_0.5Mn_0.5Ti_0.5O₃ sample, FM and anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) phase are coexisted and evaluated to be ∼54:46, respectively.     

Enhanced luminescent properties of long-persistent Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu, Dy phosphor prepared by the co-precipitation method

Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphors were prepared by the (aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES) co-precipitation method. Effects of synthesis temperature on the crystal characteristics, luminescent properties and afterglow performance of Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphors have been discussed in detail and compared with the corresponding commercial product. The experimental results indicated that the sample could be synthesized at a relatively lower temperature and had better performance on the above-mentioned properties using the co-precipitation method.     

Magnetotransport properties of epitaxial Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 films grown by a solution technique

Epitaxial Pr_0.5Ca_0.5MnO₃ films have been synthesized on (0 0 1) SrTiO₃ substrate using a chemical solution deposition technique and two-step post-annealing process. The zero field resistivity of the films shows semiconducting behavior and a characteristic of charge ordering is observed at 230 K. The resistivity of the 10 nm film did not show any effect with the magnetic field. However, melting of charge ordering was observed for the 120 nm film at an applied magnetic field of 4 T. Large decrease in the resistivity of the 120 nm film (<100 K) resulted in magnetoresistance of nearly −100% at 75 K.     

Microstructures and microwave dielectric properties of La1-xBx(Mg0.5Sn0.5)O3 ceramics

The microwave dielectric properties of La_1-xB_x(Mg_0.5Sn_0.5)O₃ ceramics were examined with a view to their exploitation for mobile communication. The La_1-xB_x(Mg_0.5Sn_0.5)O₃ ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid-state method with various sintering temperatures. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the La_0.995B_0.005(Mg_0.5Sn_0.5)O₃ ceramics revealed no significant variation of phase with sintering temperatures. A maximum apparent density of 6.58 g/cm³, a dielectric constant (ε_r) of 19.8, a quality factor (Q × f) of 41,800 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τ_f) of −86 ppm/°C were obtained for La_0.995B_0.005(Mg_0.5Sn_0.5)O₃ ceramics that were sintered at 1500 °C for 4 h.     

Effect of Sr concentration on microstructure and magnetic properties of (Ba1−xSrx)(Ti0.3Fe0.7)O3 ceramics

Fe-doped (Ba_1−xSr_x)TiO₃ ceramics were prepared by solid-state reaction, and ferromagnetism was realized at room temperature. The microstructure and magnetism were modified by the Sr concentration control (0≤x≤75 at%) at a fixed Fe concentration, and the relevant magnetic exchange mechanism was discussed. All the samples are shown to have a single perovskite structure. When increasing the Sr concentration, the phase structure is transformed from a hexagonal perovskite into a cubic perovskite, with a monotonic decrease in lattice parameters induced by ionic size effect. The room-temperature ferromagnetism is expected to originate from the super-exchange interactions between Fe³⁺ on pentahedral and octahedral Ti sites mediated by the O²⁻ ions. The increase in Sr addition modifies two main influencing factors in magnetic properties: the ratio of pentahedral to octahedral Fe³⁺ and the concentration of oxygen vacancies, leading to a gradually enhanced saturation magnetization. The highest value, obtained for Fe-doped (Ba_0.25Sr_0.75)TiO₃, is an order of magnitude higher than that of the Fe-doped BaTiO₃ system with similar Fe concentration and preparation conditions, which may indicate (Ba_1−xSr_x)TiO₃ as a more suitable matrix material for multiferroic research.     

Field induced spin reorientation transition in epitaxial La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 films

Strained epitaxial La_0.5Sr_0.5CoO₃ films are grown on LaAlO₃ substrate. Structural, electrical, and magnetic measurements were carried out. Out of plane lattice parameter of the film undergoes compressive strain and the coercivity is enhanced. The zero field cooled (ZFC) magnetization curve for a field applied parallel to the film plane shows a jump, which suggests a spin reorientation transition (SRT), while ZFC magnetization for a field applied perpendicular to the film plane is featureless. This jump in magnetization is shifted to higher temperatures when the magnetic field is reduced. The SRT is attributed to the strain in the film.

Optical properties of (ZnO)0.5(P2O5)0.5 glasses doped with Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles and Eu2O3

Binary (ZnO)_0.5(P₂O₅)_0.5 glasses doped with Eu₂O₃ and nanoparticles of Gd₂O₃:Eu were prepared by conventional melt-quench method and their luminescence properties were compared. Undoped (ZnO)_0.5(P₂O₅)_0.5 glass is characterized by a luminescent defect centre (similar to L-centre present in Na₂O-SiO₂ glasses) with emission around 324 nm and having an excited state lifetime of 18 ns. Such defect centres can transfer the energy to Eu³⁺ ions leading to improved Eu³⁺ luminescence from such glasses. Based on the decay curves corresponding to the ⁵D₀ level of Eu³⁺ ions in both Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles incorporated as well as Eu₂O₃ incorporated glasses, a significant clustering of Eu³⁺ ions taking place with the latter sample is confirmed. From the lifetime studies of the excited state of L-centre emission from (ZnO)_0.5(P₂O₅)_0.5 glass doped with Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles, it is established that there exists weak energy transfer from L-centres to Eu³⁺ ions. Poor energy transfer from the defect centres to Eu³⁺ ions in Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles doped (ZnO)_0.5(P₂O₅)_0.5 glass has been attributed to effective shielding of Eu³⁺ ions from the luminescence centre by Gd-O-P type of linkages, leading to an increased distance between luminescent centre and Eu³⁺ ions.
