Lithium motion in Li0.33 TiS2 and Li0.94 TiS2

We have studied the motion of lithium ions in Li_xTiS₂ (x = 0.33, 0.94) using pulsed NMR techniques. The temperature dependences of the spin lattice relaxation in the rotating frame (T_1?) suggest comparable activation energies for lithium ion diffusion for both samples, 3370 K, but an appreciably longer hopping time for the x = 0.94 sample. Low temperature values of T₂ agree with calculated and measured second moments for both materials.     

Anomalous bragg peak widths in LixTiS2

We have performed X ray diffraction experiments on Li_xTiS₂ and have found an experimental correlation between features observed in the (00?) peak width and -δx/δV data. (00?) peak broadening is indicative of imperfect order in the c direction of the lattice. This suggests that three dimensional models for lithium intercalation in TiS₂ should be investigated.     

Li ion conduction in Li2ZrO3, Li4ZrO4, and LiScO2

The results of ac and dc conductivity measurements on Li₂ZrO₃, Li₄ZrO₄, and LiScO₂ show that these phases are Li ion conductors. Even though the Li ion conductivity in these phases is quite low, 3.3×10^?5, 3.0×10^?4, and 4.2×10^?7 S m^?1 at 573 K, respectively, they are of special interest since they are among the small group of ternary oxides which may be thermodynamically stable against Li. Mechanisms are proposed for the decomposition of these phases at the anode due to Li loss during dc polarization. In addition the electrical conductivity of ternary oxide phases which are, or may be, thermodynamically stable against Li are summarized.     

Lithium insertion into Li4V3O8

The lithium insertion characteristics of lithium vanadate, Li₄V₃O₈, were investigated using LiV₃O₈ prepared by the precipitation technique as the starting material. The Li₄V₃O₈ phase was formed by lithiation over x=1.5 in Li_1+xV₃O₈, and the diffusion of lithium in this phase determined the reaction rate of insertion more than x=1.5. Improvement of insertion kinetics in the Li₄V₃O₈ phase extended the lithium insertion limit from x=3.2 to x=4.0, compared with the case of LiV₃O₈ by conventional high temperature synthesis. Lithium insertion proceeds as the single-phase reaction in the range of 3.2<x<4.0.

Single phase of Li₃AlN₂ was prepared from the mixture of Li₃N/AlN = 1.2 to 1.5 in molar ratio at 700°C and at 900°C. It crystalizes in the cubic system derived from antifluorite-type structure having the lattice parameter $\text{a = 9.470}\text{A}\text{?}$. It is a pure ionic conductor having conductivity of 5 × 10^?8ω^?1cm^?1 at room temperature and an activation energy of 52 kJ/ mol. Its decomposition voltage was 0.85 V at 104°C. The TiS₂/Li₃AlN₂/Li cell could be discharged at a constant current of 45 μA/cm² at 104°C.     

NMR relaxation studies on quasi-one-dimensional conductor β-Na0.33V2O5

The spin-lattice relaxation time T₁ of ²³Na and ⁵¹V nuclei in the quasi-one-dimensional conductor β-Na_0.33V₂O₅ was measured in the temperature region between 77K and the room temperature. The large anisotropy of T₁ of ²³Na nuclei was observed. The experimental results of T₁ of ²³Na and ⁵¹V nuclei at 77K were analyzed that there exists in β-Na_0.33V₂O₅ the electron hopping motion along site I vanadium chain, of which the correlation time of this hopping motion is about 10^?12 sec.

Magnetic ordering in PrNi2

Magnetic ordering in GdI2

GdI₂ powder samples have been investigated by means of a.c. susceptibility and magnetisation measurements indicating magnetic ordering below T_C = 313 K. The structure consists of strongly coupled ferromagnetic layers of Gd³⁺ moments aligned perpendicular to the hexagonal crystal axis. The inter-layer coupling is much weaker and probably antiferromagnetic suggesting that GdI₂ is to a very good approximation a two-dimensional Heisenberg system.     

Magnetic ordering in CeMnCuSi2

Temperature and field-dependent magnetization measurements on polycrystalline CeMnCuSi₂ reveal that the Mn moments in this compound exhibit ordering with a ferromagnetic (FM) component ordered instead of the previously reported purely antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering. The FM ordering temperature, T_c, is about 120 K and almost unchanged with external fields up to 50 kOe. Furthermore, an AFM component (such as in a canted spin structure) is observed to be present in this phase, and its orientation is modified rapidly by the external magnetic field. The Ce L₃-edge X-ray absorption result shows that the Ce ions in this compound are nearly trivalent, very similar to that in the heavy fermion system CeCu₂Si₂. Large thermomagnetic irreversibility is observed between the zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) M(T) curves below T_c indicating strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the ordered phase. At 5 K, a metamagnetic-type transition is observed to occur at a critical field of about 8 kOe, and this critical field decreases with increasing temperature. The FM ordering of the Mn moments in CeMnCuSi₂ is consistent with the value of the intralayer Mn–Mn distance R^a_Mn–Mn=2.890 Å, which is greater than the critical value 2.865 Å for FM ordering. Finally, a magnetic phase diagram is constructed for CeMnCuSi₂.

The Li-N and Ga-N bonds are both ionic with a small covalent character of the latter one.

New vitreous electrolytes with fast lithium ion carriers have been obtained in the B₂O₃ - Li₂O - Li₂SO₄ system. The variation of the ionic conductivity is discussed. Raman spectroscopy indicates that sulfate ions are diluted in the vitreous matrix without detectable interaction with the surrounding.     

Li+ transport in Li0.40MoO3 studied by pulse NMR

Pulsed ⁷Li NMR relaxation time measurements are reported for the intercalate Li_0.40MoO₃ in the temperature range 200K < T < 460K at 20 MHz. Temperature dependences of T₁ and T₂ indicate translation of Li⁺ with E_A = 23 kJ mol^-1. The data lead to an estimate for the Li⁺ self-diffusion coefficient at 300K of D¹_300K ? 4 x 10^-12 cm² sec^-1.     

Ion diffusion in the high-temperature phases Li2SO4, LiNaSO4, LiAgSO4 and Li4Zn(SO4)3

Diffusion in the four high-temperature sulphate phases Li₂SO₄, LiNaSO₄, LiAgSO₄ and Li₄Zn(SO₄)₃ was studied extensively some 20–30 years ago. We have now carried out a re-evaluation where we include information obtained from a number of studies of other properties. The data are adjusted slightly due to the use of another type of regression analysis. It is characteristic of the four phases that they are both plastic crystals and solid electrolytes (superionic conductors). The cause of the high conductivity is that the mobility of the cations is strongly enhanced by the rotational motion of the translationally static sulphate ions. This is observed not only for the abundant cations, but also for other cations present (mono- as well as polyvalent) and for monovalent anions. Furthermore, both bulk diffusion and transfer along high diffusivity paths are affected. In addition, one can distinguish between different contributions to the bulk diffusion. The ionic radius is a very important parameter, since it determines the solid solubility and the distribution of the ions between the sites that are available in the lattice. All this affects the relative importance of several competing diffusion mechanisms. This gives a qualitative explanation of an anomalous correlation which has been observed in FCC Li₂SO₄ for monovalent ions (cations as well as anions), namely that both the diffusion coefficients D, and the activation energies Q, decrease when the radius is increased. This holds for hard-core cations (Li, Na, K, Rb), polarizable cations (Ag, Tl) and anions (F, Cl, Br). On the other hand, the situation is normal for divalent cations for which an increase in D corresponds to a decrease in Q. This is the case for hard-core ions (Mg, Ca) as well as for polarizable ones (Zn, Cd, Pb). Migration of the large ions Cs⁺ and SO²⁻₄ appears to be specially sensitive to how the experiment is prepared. Diffusion in BCC LiNaSO₄ and LiAgSO₄ has been studied for the two main cations as well as for some dopant ions. A general conclusion is that studies of diffusion of several ions in the same structure can give information that cannot be obtained by other types of experiments.     

Electrical and thermal properties of intercalation compound FexTiS2

Intercalation phenomena of guest Fe atoms into van der Waals gaps of the host 1T - TiS₂ layered crystal have been studied by transport measurements. These experimental results, together with other data, are indicative of the presence of spin-up and spin-down bands produced by the host-guest interactions and understood in terms of an itinerant band picture, in agreement with recent band calculations.
