Phase Evolution and Magnetic Properties of Sn_(1-2x)Fe_xNb_xO_2(0.45≤x≤0.50)

Sn1-2xFexNbxO2(0.45≤x≤0.50) samples were prepared at 1000 ℃ via a simple chemical co-precipitation method.The effects of the concentrations of Sn doped on the structures and magnetic properties of the samples have been investigated.A systematic variation from monoclinic to orthorhombic FeNbO4 structure was observed with increasing Sn content.The phase evolutions were observed from monoclinic structure with x=0.50 to the coexistence of monoclinic and orthorhombic structures with x=0.48,0.47,0.46,and then to orthorhombic structure with x=0.45.Antiferromagnetic behavior was observed for all the samples,and the magnetic ordering temperatures decrease with increasing Sn concentration,which further indicated the sequence of phase transitions.The results suggest that the incorporation of Sn can stabilize the orthorhombic FeNbO4.

Electron paramagnetic resonance investigation of the electron-doped manganite La(1-x)Te(x)MnO3 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.2)

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) properties of the electron-doped manganite La(1-x)Te(x)MnO(3) (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) are investigated based on the data of EPR spectra, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility. With decreasing temperature from 400 K, the EPR linewidth ΔH(PP) decreases and passes through a minimum at T(min), then substantially increases with further decreasing temperature. The broadening of the EPR linewidth above T(min) can be understood in terms of the increase in the relaxation rate of spin of e(g) polarons to the lattice with increasing temperature due to the similarity between the temperature dependence of the linewidth ΔH(pp)(T) and the conductivity σ(T). For the samples with x = 0.1 and 0.15, the conductivity activation energy E(σ) is comparable with the activation energy E(a) deduced from the linewidth. Whereas for the x = 0.2 sample, there is a large difference between E(σ) (0.2206 eV) and E(a) (0.0874 eV).     

Synthesis and characterization of a NASICON phase of variable composition Na1 − x Ni1 − x Sc1 + x (MoO4)3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5)

Subsolidus phase ratios in the Na₂MoO₄-NiMoO₄-Sc₂(MoO₄)₃ system have been studied using X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and vibrational spectroscopy. A phase of variable composition Na_{1 ? x} Ni_{1 ? x} Sc_{1 + x} (MoO₄)₃ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) having NASICON structure (space group \(R\bar 3c\) ) and a triple molybdate crystallizing in triclinic system (space group \(P\bar 1\) ) have been obtained. The high conductivity of Na_{1 ? x} Ni_{1 ? x} Sc_{1 + x} (MoO₄)₃ allows the phase of variable composition to be regarded as a promising sodiumion-conductive solid electrolyte.

Subsolidus phase ratios of the Na₂MoO₄-CoMoO₄-Sc₂(MoO₄)₃ system have been studied by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and vibrational spectroscopy.

Mn(I) in an extended oxide: the synthesis and characterization of La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ) (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1)

Reduction of La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1) perovskite phases with sodium hydride yields materials of composition La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ). The calcium-rich phases (x = 0.9, 1) adopt (La(0.9)Ca(0.1))(0.5)Mn(0.5)O disordered rocksalt structures. However local structure analysis using reverse Monte Carlo refinement of models against pair distribution functions obtained from neutron total scattering data reveals lanthanum-rich La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ) (x = 0.6, 0.67, 0.7) phases adopt disordered structures consisting of an intergrowth of sheets of MnO(6) octahedra and sheets of MnO(4) tetrahedra. X-ray absorption data confirm the presence of Mn(I) centers in La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ) phases with x < 1. Low-temperature neutron diffraction data reveal La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(2+δ) (x = 0.6, 0.67, 0.7) phases become antiferromagnetically ordered at low temperature.

Magnetic and high rate adsorption properties of porous Mn(1-x)Zn(x)Fe2O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) adsorbents

Porous spinel ferrites Mn(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) are synthesized by a simple sol-gel method with egg white. All samples exhibit porous morphologies and large BET surface area (S(BET)). The substitution of Zn(2+) affects the magnetic properties of ferrites and the adsorption properties of methylene blue (MB) on ferrites, obviously. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of Mn(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4) increases before x=0.4, and decreases with further increase of Zn(2+) substitution. This can be ascribed to the changes of the cationic distribution and the variation of spin arrangement in A-site and B-site of spinel structure. All samples show high adsorption capacity and the removal efficiencies of MB reach up to >90% within 3 h. The Zn(2+) substitution accelerates the adsorption rate and capacity of MB on Mn(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4). The quickest adsorption occurred at x=0.2 and the largest adsorption capacity occurred at x=0.8.     

Using high pressure to prepare polymorphs of the Ba2Co(1-x)Zn(x)S3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) compounds

In this work, high pressure was used as a tool to induce structural transition and prepare metastable polymorphs of ternary sulfides. Structural transformations under high pressure of compounds belonging to the Ba(2)Co(1-x)Zn(x)S(3) (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) series were studied using X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. All members of the Ba(2)Co(1-x)Zn(x)S(3) series show the Ba(2)CoS(3)-type one-dimensional structure, but, after heating under pressure, the Ba(2)CoS(3) compound (x = 0) separates into BaS and the two-dimensional BaCoS(2-δ) (δ ≈ 0), while Ba(2)Co(1-x)Zn(x)S(3) compounds with x ≥ 0.25 maintain their one-dimensional features but rearrange into polymorphs showing the Ba(2)MnS(3)-type structure. All structural transformations can be linked to shortening in interchain metal-metal distances caused by the high pressure, and the role of the zinc in preventing loss of one-dimensionality is discussed.     

Mechanical properties of mixed conducting La0.5Sr0.5Fe1−x Co x O3−δ (0≤x≤1) materials

Young’s modulus, strain–stress behavior, fracture strength, and fracture toughness of (0≤×≤1) materials have been investigated in the temperature range 20–1,000°C. Young’s moduli of and , measured by resonant ultrasound spectroscopy, were 130±1 and 133±3 GPa, respectively. The nonlinear stress–strain relationship observed by four-point bending at room temperature was inferred as a signature of ferroelastic behavior of the materials. Above the ferroelastic to paraelastic transition temperature, the materials showed elastic behavior, but due to high-temperature creep, a nonelastic respond reappeared above ∼800°C. The room temperature fracture strength measured by four-point bending was in the range 107–128 MPa. The corresponding fracture toughness of , measured by single edge V-notch beam method, was 1.16±0.12 MPa·m^1/2. The measured fracture strength and fracture toughness were observed to increase with increasing temperature. The fracture mode changed from intragranular at low temperature to intergranular at high temperature. Tensile stress gradient at the surface of the materials caused by a frozen-in gradient in the oxygen content during cooling was proposed to explain the low ambient temperature fracture strength and toughness.

Glycolate Ti1 − x Fe x (OCH2CH2O)2 − x/2 as a precursor for the preparation of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) solid solutions Ti1 − x Fe x O2 − 2x/2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1)

Quasi-one-dimensional (1D) solid solutions Ti_{1 ? x} Fe _x (OCH₂CH₂O)_{2 ? x/2} (0 < x ≤ 0.1) with the structure of anatase were prepared by heating the glycolate Ti_{1 ? x} Fe _x (OCH₂CH₂O)_{2 ? x/2} in an atmosphere of air at a temperature of >450°C. The conditions of formation and the properties of the new glycolate Ti₃Fe₂(OCH₂CH₂O)₉ were described. It was found that the synthesized Ti_{1 ? x} Fe _x O_{2 ? 2x/2} solid solutions exhibit photocatalytic activity in the reaction of hydroquinone oxidation in an aqueous solution on irradiation with UV light. A correlation between the rate of oxidation of hydroquinone and the concentration of iron in the catalyst was established. A procedure for the preparation of titanium dioxide with the structure of anatase doped with iron and carbon (Ti_{1 ? x} Fe _x O_{(2 ? x/2) ? yCy)} and also composites on its basis, which contain an excess amount of carbon, was proposed.

Structure and electronic properties and phase stabilities of the Cd(1-x)Zn(x)S solid solution in the range of 0≤x≤1

As an excellent bandgap-engineering material, the Cd(1-x)Zn(x)S solid solution, is found to be an efficient visible light response photocatalyst for water splitting, but few theoretical studies have been performed on it. A better characterization of the composition dependence of the physical and optical properties of this material and a thorough understanding of the bandgap-variation mechanism are necessary to optimize the design of high-efficience photocatalysts. In order to get an insight into these problems, we systematically investigated the crystal structure, the phase stability, and the electronic structures of the Cd(1-x)Zn(x)S solid solution by means of density functional theory calculations. The most energetically favorable arrangement of the Cd, Zn, S atoms and the structural disorder of the solid solution are revealed. The phase diagram of the Cd(1-x)Zn(x)S solid solution is calculated based on regular-solution model and compared with the experimental data. This is the first report on the calculated phase diagram of this solid solution, and can give guidance for the experimental synthesis of this material. Furthermore, the variation of the electronic structures versus x and its mechanism are elaborated in detail, and the experimental bandgap as a function of x is well predicted. Our findings provide important insights into the experimentally observed structural and electronic properties, and can give theoretical guidelines for the further design of the Cd(1-x)Zn(x)S solid solution.     

High-pressure synthesis and local structure of corundum-type In(2-2x)Zn(x)Sn(x)O(3) (x ≤ 0.7)

The corundum-type In(2-2x)Zn(x)Sn(x)O(3) solid solution (cor-ZITO, x ≤ 0.7) was synthesized at 1000 °C under a high pressure of 70 kbar. cor-ZITO is a high-pressure polymorph of the transparent conducting oxide bixbyite-In(2-2x)Zn(x)Sn(x)O(3) (x ≤ 0.4). Analysis of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure suggests that significant face-sharing of Zn and Sn octahedra occurs, as expected for the corundum structure type. In contrast to the ideal corundum structure, however, Zn and Sn are displaced and form oxygen bonds with lengths that are similar to those observed in high-pressure ZnSnO(3). Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of cor-ZITO showed the expected unit cell contraction with increased cosubstitution, but no evidence for ilmenite-type ordering of the substituted Zn and Sn. A qualitative second harmonic generation measurement, for the solid solution x = 0.6 and using 1064 nm radiation, showed that Zn and Sn adopt a polar LiNbO(3)-type arrangement.     

Nonstoichiometry and structural intergrowth in the CaFexMn1−xO3−y (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) system

An electron diffraction and microscopy study of the CaFe_xMn_1−xO_3−y system treated at 1100°C in air has been performed. An increase of y is accompanied by an increase of the cubic perovskite substructure parameter, the nonstoichiometry being accommodated in several ways. The system contains two solid solutions of the perovskite-type (P) and of the brownmillerite-type (B) and also an intermediate phase (x = 0.6) which makes disordered intergrowth with the B-type solid solution. These results are discussed in terms of multitwinning, randomly dispersed oxygen deficiency, and ordered and disordered intergrowth formation.

Chemical pressure and rare-earth orbital contributions in mixed rare-earth silicides La(5-x)Y(x)Si4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 5)

A crystallographic study and theoretical analysis of the structural and La/Y site preferences in the La(5-x)Y(x)Si(4) (0 ≤ x ≤ 5) series prepared by high-temperature methods is presented. At room temperature, La-rich La(5-x)Y(x)Si(4) phases with x ≤ 3.0 exhibit the tetragonal Zr(5)Si(4)-type structure (space group P4(1)2(1)2, Z = 4, Pearson symbol tP36), which contains only Si-Si dimers. On the other hand, Y-rich phases with x = 4.0 and 4.5 adopt the orthorhombic Gd(5)Si(4)-type structure (space group Pnma, Z = 4, Pearson symbol oP36), also with Si-Si dimers, whereas Y(5)Si(4) forms the monoclinic Gd(5)Si(2)Ge(2) structure (space group P2(1)/c, Z = 4, Pearson symbol mP36), which exhibits 50% "broken" Si-Si dimers. Local and long-range structural relationships among the tetragonal, orthorhombic, and monoclinic structures are discussed. Refinements from single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the three independent sites for La or Y atoms in the asymmetric unit reveal partial mixing of these elements, with clearly different preferences for these two elements. First-principles electronic structure calculations, used to investigate the La/Y site preferences and structural trends in the La(5-x)Y(x)Si(4) series, indicate that long- and short-range structural features are controlled largely by atomic sizes. La 5d and Y 4d orbitals, however, generate distinct, yet subtle effects on the electronic density of states curves, and influence characteristics of Si-Si bonding in these phases.
