Investigations Concerning the Quasi-binary System V2O5 – Nb2O5

In examining the pseudobinary system V₂O₅ – Nb₂O₅ it was possible to isolate, by systematic transport reactions, just one stable compound of the mean composition V_1.057Nb_8.943O₂₅ in addition to the boundary phases, which is in contrast to the data given in the literature. The phase width of this compound is very small and within the confidence limits of the analytical method of determination of 0.2 p.c. A maximum of 50 ppm Nb₂O₅ only dissolve in V₂O₅. Determining the solubility of V₂O₅ in Nb₂O₅ failed, because the two-phase products resulting during the chemical transport of the respective samples could not be separated exactly.     

Various Growth Shapes of Na2S2O3 5H2O Crystals

The relation between the growth shapes and supersaturations and/or supercoolings was investigated in the Na₂S₂O₃ 5H₂O crystals: (i) The growth shapes changed from a hexagonal prismatic crystal, aggregate of platy crystals and to a spherulite with an increase of supersaturations and/or supercooloings. (ii) The deposition rate suddenly increased at a certain supersaturation and/or supercooling, where the growth shape changed from the hexagonal prism to the aggregate of platy crystals. (iii) The deposition rates of spherulites become higher with increasing the solute concentrations. (iv) The formation process of the spherulites were in situ observed by the Schlieren and/or Mach‐zehnder interferometer methods.     

R2O-RO-SiO2-Al2O3-Fe2O3-P2O5系分相釉的研究

针对铁红分相釉的配方特点,采用L8(4 ×24)正交实验研究了钠长石、牛骨灰、滑石、方解石、石英加入量对R2O-RO-SiO2-Al2O3-Fe2O3-P2O5系统分相釉釉面效果的影响,采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和能谱分析(EDS)对釉层的微观结构进行了表征.研究发现:牛骨灰对釉面是否出现“柿红”效果影响最显著,而方解石影响最不明显.Si/P摩尔比对铁红色釉面的产生起关键作用,当Si/P摩尔比小于2O,出现铁红釉面效果的概率极高.随着滑石加入量从9份变化到18份,出现铁红色釉面的趋势反而降低.经SEM和EDS分析发现,“柿红色”、“酒红色”釉面效果的产生很大程度上是由于釉层液液分相促进Fe2O3富集或偏析造成,且特别容易在高钠、低镁、低铝处聚集,最终连成雪花状结晶.     

BaTiO3-Nb2O5-Fe2O3陶瓷介电性能的研究

利用传统方法制备了BaTiO3-Nb2O5-Fe2O3(BTNF)陶瓷,采用X射线衍射仪、电容测试仪、电滞回线测量仪等测试手段研究了不同添加剂(Fe2O3、Co2O3、Nb2O5)对陶瓷晶体结构、介电性能及铁电性的影响.结果表明:Nb2O5是施主掺杂,易引起晶格畸变,使四方率增大;而Fe2O3为受主掺杂,其可提高氧空位浓度,促进BaTiO3陶瓷晶粒生长.同时掺杂Fe2O3、Nb2O5时,可以相互补偿.当Fe2O3浓度约为0.15;摩尔分数,Nb2O5浓度为0.79;摩尔分数时,陶瓷的介电常数达到4443,温度特性≤±10;,可以满足Y5P瓷料的要求.     

Structural properties of Cr2O3–Fe2O3–P2O5 glasses,Part I

The structural properties of xCr₂O₃–(40 − x)Fe₂O₃–60P₂O₅, 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 10 (mol%) glasses have been investigated by Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The Raman spectra show that the addition of up to 5.3 mol% Cr₂O₃ does not produce any changes in the glass structure, which consists predominantly of pyrophosphate, Q¹, units. This is in accordance with O/P ≈ 3.5 for these glasses. The increase in glass density and T_g that occurs with increasing Cr₂O₃ suggests the strengthening of glass network. The Mössbauer spectra indicate that the Fe²⁺/Fe_tot ratio increases from 0.13 to 0.28 with increasing Cr₂O₃ content up to 5.3 mol%, which can be related to an increase in the melting temperature from 1423 to 1473 K. After annealing, the 10Cr₂O₃–30Fe₂O₃–60P₂O₅ (mol%) sample was partially crystallized and contained crystalline β-CrPO₄ and Fe₃(P₂O₇)₂. The SEM and AFM micrographs of the partially crystallized sample revealed randomly distributed crystals embedded in a homogeneous glass matrix. EDS analysis indicated that the glass matrix was rich in Fe₂O₃ (39.6 mol%) and P₂O₅ (54.9 mol%), but contained only 5.5 mol% of Cr₂O₃. These results suggest that the maximum solubility of chromium in these iron phosphate melts is 5.5 mol% Cr₂O₃.

Electrical properties of SrBi2(Nb0.7V0.3)2O9−δ in the SrO–Bi2O3–0.7Nb2O5–0.3V2O5–Li2B4O7 glass system

Glasses in the system (100 − x)Li₂B₄O₇–x(SrO–Bi₂O₃–0.7Nb₂O₅–0.3V₂O₅) (where x = 10, 30 and 50, in molar ratio) were fabricated via melt quenching technique. The compositional dependence of the glass transition (T_g) and crystallization (T_cr) temperatures was determined by differential thermal analysis. The as-quenched glasses on heat-treatment at 783 K for 6 h yielded monophasic crystalline strontium bismuth niobate doped with vanadium (SrBi₂(Nb_0.7V_0.3)₂O_9−δ (SBVN)) in lithium borate (Li₂B₄O₇ (LBO)) glass matrix. The formation of nanocrystalline layered perovskite SBVN phase was preceded by the fluorite phase as established by both the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dielectric constants for both the as-quenched glass and glass–nanocrystal composite increased with increasing temperature in the 300–873 K range, exhibiting a maximum in the vicinity of the crystallization temperature of the host glass matrix. The electrical behavior of the glasses and glass–nanocrystal composites was characterized using impedance spectroscopy.     

Neutron and X-ray scattering studies of Li2O–TeO2–V2O5 glasses

Neutron and X-ray scattering studies of (Li₂O)_x–(TeO₂)₂–V₂O₅ glasses with x = 0, 1 and 2, obtained by melting and subsequent cooling in air to room temperature, have been performed. Reciprocal space data have been Fourier transformed into real space yielding the radial distribution functions. Nearest and next neighbor peaks have been analyzed using a least-squares fitting method which suggests the presence of both TeO₃ and TeO₄ coordination polyhedra, the fivefold coordination of lithium and mixture of 6, 5 and 4 coordination numbers of vanadium. These results are discussed in relation to the electronic and ionic conductivity properties.     

P2O5对CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2系微晶玻璃析晶的影响

采用熔融法制备了不同P2O5含量的CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2玻璃样品,研究了P2O5对该系微晶玻璃析晶的影响规律.结果表明:在所研究的CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2玻璃中,P2O5的最大溶解量在10.0;质量分数左右,超过其饱和溶解度后将析出α-磷酸钙相.玻璃中添加4.0;质量分数P2O5时以表面析晶为主,析出晶体为钙长石和少量硅灰石.随着P2O5含量的提高, α-磷酸钙逐渐析出,同时钙长石和硅灰石的析出逐渐降低.进一步提高P2O5含量抑制了玻璃的表面析晶,促进了玻璃的分相和整体析晶.当P2O5的含量达到10;时,玻璃以整体析晶为主,在分相区内外区域析出晶体的形态非常相似,均呈现为细小粒状.

This paper presents the results of a study of thermal properties, solubility and response to ⁶⁰Co γ-rays by electron spin resonance of the P₂O₅–CaO–Na₂O glass system. The sample compositions were selected by fixing the P₂O₅ mol% content at 50 mol%, and varying the CaO mol% at 30 and 40 mol%. The spectrum is characterized by hyperfine doublet from ³¹P isotope (nuclear spin = 1/2), and its stability and response to the γ-ray dose were studied to establish the suitability of this glass as a γ-ray dosimeter.     

Evolution of nanocrystalline BaBi2Nb2O9 in Li2B4O7–BaO–Bi2O3–Nb2O5 glass system

Transparent glasses and glass nano crystal composites (GNCs) of various compositions in the system (100 − x)Li₂B₄O₇–x(BaO–Bi₂O₃–Nb₂O₅) (where x = 10, 20, and 30 in molar ratio) were fabricated via splat-quenching technique. The glassy nature of the as-quenched samples was established by differential thermal analyses. X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies confirmed the formation of layered perovskite BBN via a fluorite like phase. TEM studies revealed the presence of 10 nm sized spherical crystallites of fluorite like BaBi₂Nb₂O₉ phase in the glassy matrix of Li₂B₄O₇ (LBO). The influence of composition on the dielectric and the optical properties (transmission, optical band gap) of these samples has been investigated.

K⁺ is seen in sites of seven, six, and fivefold coordination (K–O, averages; 2.83(2), 2.81(2), and 2.77(2)Å, respectively) P₂O₇ ^4– groups are observed in semieclipsed conformation. K₆Sr₂Ni₅(P₂O₇)₅ (II) crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/c;a=11.038(7),b=9.533(13),c=7.438(2)Å, =100.13(4)°,D _calc=3.309 g cm^–3,Z=2,R/R _w=6.4/8.1%. Nickel atoms are distributed on planes parallel to the crystallographic (100) plane at =0 and =0.5.

Structural characteristic of Na2OP2O5GeO2 glass systems

Phosphate glasses based on xNa₂O0.5P₂O₅(0.5−x)GeO₂ (0.0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.5) mol%, were prepared and their structures were characterized by magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Raman and IR spectroscopy techniques. It was found that the phosphate network of these glasses is composed of middle (Q²) and branching (Q³) phosphate tetrahedra, whereas germanium part in the network is composed of three- or four-membered GeO₄ tetrahedral rings. It was also found that the germanium tetrahedral are randomly connected to either Q² or Q³ phosphate units in the network. The glass network, especially the Q² units can be modified by the presence of Na ions. This modification is primarily associated with the phosphate. It is found that these glasses behave as if they are formed from a solution of GeO₂ and sodium–phosphate glass with various GeO₄ units and the Q² and Q³ phosphate units randomly distributed in the network.

Conductivity stabilization by metal and oxide additives in ceramics on the basis of VO2 and glass V2O5–P2O5

Conductivity behavior during the temperature cycling through the phase transition temperature of VO₂ (T_t = 68 °C) was investigated in glass-ceramics based on VO₂ and vanadium phosphate glass (VPG) for compositions without and with Cu and SnO₂ additives. Copper and SnO₂ additives stabilize the conductivity of glass-ceramics at temperature cycling. For ceramics (wt%) (80 − y)VO₂–5Cu–15VPG–ySnO₂ the best stabilizing effect takes place when SnO₂ content is in the interval 35 wt% < y < 50 wt%. Ceramics with such SnO₂ content keeps a stable value of the conductivity change (∼10²) in the vicinity of VO₂ phase transition temperature and shows the conductivity decrease no more than of 2.5 times after 3000 thermal cycles. The reasons of conductivity stabilizing in VO₂-based glass-ceramics with additives of Cu and SnO₂ are being discussed. The analysis resting on the percolation theory has shown the increase of conductivity stability in VO₂-based glass-ceramics when the VO₂ volume fraction and the average size of VO₂ crystallites decrease and the ceramics surface tension increases.

Effect of mixed transition-metal ions in glasses. Part III: The P2O5–V2O5–MnO system

Electrical and optical properties of phosphate glasses containing vanadium and manganese ions in the xP₂O₅–[(100 − x)(V₂O₅ + MnO)] (PVM) system have been investigated. This is the last article of a III-part series devoted to the electronic properties of phosphate glasses containing a mixture of transition ions. The first article was devoted to the electrical conductivity of glasses having the general composition: xP₂O₅–[(100 − x)(V₂O₅ + Fe₂O₃)] (PVF). Competitive transport of small polarons on V and Fe ion sites was found to contribute to a mixed transition-ion effect (MTE) in PVF glasses. Several features of MTE were found to be similar to the well known mixed alkali effect, observed in glasses containing two alkali ions. In the second article, optical absorption and electronic conduction of xP₂O₅–[(100 − x)(Fe₂O₃ + MnO)] (PFM) glasses were reported. In the absence of competitive transport between the two transition ions (since Mn ions were determined not to contribute to dc conduction), MTE was not observed. The most important feature of PFM glasses was a sharp increase in resistivity at a critical concentration of iron ions, similar to ‘metal–insulator transition’ (MIT). In the present article, we report a resistivity transition in PVM glasses which is similar to that exhibited by the glasses of the PFM series. While Fe ions contributed the carriers in the PFM glasses, V ions serve the same purpose in the PVM compositions. As the concentration of vanadium ions, n_V, is decreased in the composition range 0.82 > n_V > 0.40, resistivity (ρ) increases marginally. For glasses with 0.2 < n_V < 0.40, resistivity and the activation energy for dc conduction (W) increase sharply with decreasing n_V, marking the incidence of an MIT-type transition. As in the PFM glasses, the observation of MIT coincides with the transformation of small polarons to small bipolarons, which is confirmed by the shifting of the small polaron optical absorption band to higher energies with decreasing V concentration.
