Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopic study of order-disorder-phase transition with increase in the content of Gd in Nd2−yGdyZr2O7 solid solution is being reported. It has been observed from Rietveld analysis that with increase in concentration of Gd in Nd2−yGdyZr2O7, the value of the x parameter of the 48f oxygen changes from 0.332(1) to 0.343(1) with a sudden change in the slope for y=1.8, which indicates that the structure is transforming from ordered pyrochlore to disordered pyrochlore. In addition to that a sudden and drastic change in the Raman spectra including changes in the position and width of several Raman modes beyond y?1.8 has also been observed which has been correlated with increasing disorder. Based on these studies, it is suggested that there is a discontinuous order-disorder transition from ‘perfect pyrochlore’ to ‘defect pyrochlore’ phase in Nd2−yGdyZr2O7 solid solution.  相似文献

Twelve members of the Ho2−yNdyZr2O7 series, prepared using conventional solid state methods, have been characterised by neutron powder diffraction. Ho2Zr2O7 has a defect fluorite structure whereas Nd2Zr2O7 is found to adopt the ordered pyrochlore structure with the composition induced fluorite-pyrochlore transformation occurring near y=1. Rietveld analysis on the neutron data for all the compositions reveals an increase in lattice parameter as a function of y across the entire series, with a small discontinuity associated with the transformation. The neutron profile results suggest that domains of pyrochlore-type initially begin to form before crystallising into a separate phase, and therefore that anion and cation ordering processes are distinct. There is a strong correlation between the extent of disorder in the anion sublattice and the x-parameter of 48f oxygen. These results point the way to a better understanding of the stability observed in pyrochlore structures.  相似文献

Different compositions in a solid solution of general formula Dy2(Ti1−yZry)2O7, showing high oxygen ion conductivity, have been successfully prepared at room temperature via mechanochemical synthesis. Stoichiometric mixtures of the constituent oxides were dry milled together in a planetary ball mill by using zirconia vials and balls. Chemical changes in the powder mixtures as a function of composition and milling time were followed by X-ray diffraction and revealed that, in all cases and after milling for 19 h, the powder mixtures consisted of a single phase. Electrical properties were measured on sintered pellets as a function of frequency, temperature and zirconium content, revealing an increase in conductivity of more than one order of magnitude for y?0.4, which, as observed in the similar Y2(Ti1−yZry)2O7, has been related with the onset of disordering of the anion sublattice. Despite increasing structural disorder with increasing Zr content, conductivity remains almost constant for y>0.6, reaching a maximum value of ∼5×10−3 for Dy2Zr2O7 at 900 °C.  相似文献

The structural and microstructural characteristics of metastable Gd2(Ti1−yZry)2O7 powders prepared by mechanical milling have been studied by a combination of XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Irrespective of their Zr content, as-prepared powder phases present an anion-deficient fluorite-type of structure as opposed to the pyrochlore equilibrium configuration obtained for the same solid solution by other synthetic routes. These fluorites are stable versus thermal activation, at least up to temperatures of 800 °C. For the Ti-rich compositions, thermal treatments at higher temperatures facilitate the rearrangement of the cation and anion substructures and the relaxation of mechanochemically induced defects whereas for compositions with high Zr content, the fluorite crystal structure is retained even at temperatures as high as 1200 °C. Interestingly enough, transient pyrochlores showing a very unusual cation distribution were observed during the thermally induced defect-recovery process.  相似文献

17O MAS NMR and XRD studies of precursor-derived Y1.6Zr0.4Ti2O7.2 and Y1.2Zr0.8Ti2O7.4 have been performed to investigate the development of local and long-range order in these materials as they evolve from a metastable amorphous state upon heating. Zirconium titanate (ZrTiO4) was also investigated to help interpret the 17O NMR spectra of the ternary compositions. Consistent with earlier studies, crystallization was observed at 800 °C to form a fluorite structure and a small amount of rutile; weak broad reflections were also observed which were ascribed to the presence of small pyrochlore-like ordered domains or particles within the fluorite phase. As the temperature was increased further, the sizes of these domains grew along with the concentration of rutile. At the highest temperature studied (1300 °C), the reflections of the thermodynamic phases, pyrochlore and zirconium titanate (ZrTiO4), dominated the XRD pattern. The 17O NMR spectra revealed a series of different peaks that were assigned to different 3- and 4-coordinate O local environments. The data were consistent with the formation of a metastable phase Y2−xZrxTi2−yZryO7+x with pyrochlore-like ordering but with Zr substitution on both cation sites of the pyrochlore structure. At low temperatures, doping on the A (Y3+) sites predominates (i.e., x>y), consistent with the fact that the pyrochlore develops out of a more disordered fluorite-like, phase. As the temperature is raised, the Zr doping on the A site decreases and the metastable phase at this temperature can now be written as Y2−xZrxTi2−yZryO7+x (i.e., x′<y′); TiO2 is also observed, consistent with this suggestion. At high temperatures, doping on the B site decreases and the resonances due to the stoichiometric pyrochlore yttrium titanate (Y2Ti2O7) dominate the NMR spectra. Weaker 17O NMR resonances due zirconium titanate (ZrTiO4) are also observed.  相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of the pyrochlore solid solutions, Y2Ti2−xNbxO7−y, Lu2Ti2−xNbxO7−y, Y2Ti2−xTaxO7−y and Lu2TiTaO7−y (−0.4<y<0.5), is described. Synthesis at 1600 °C, and 10−5 Torr yields oxygen deficiency in all systems. All compounds are found to be paramagnetic and semiconducting, with the size of the local moments being less, in some cases substantially less, than the expected value for the number of nominally unpaired electrons present. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that all compounds can be fully oxidized while retaining the pyrochlore structure, yielding oxygen rich pyrochlores as white powders. Powder neutron diffraction of Y2TiNbO7-based samples was done. Refinement of the data for oxygen deficient Y2TiNbO6.76 indicates the presence of a distribution of oxygen over the 8b and 48f sites. Refinement of the data for oxygen rich Y2TiNbO7.5 shows these sites to be completely filled, with an additional half filling of the 8a site. The magnetic and TGA data strongly suggest a preference for a Ti3+/(Nb,Ta)5+ combination, as opposed to Ti4+/(Nb,Ta)4+, in this pyrochlore family. In addition, the evidence clearly points to Ti3+ as the source of the localized moments, with no evidence for localized Nb4+ moments.  相似文献

In this work, we present the synthesis and the characterization of ionic conducting ceramics of NaSICON-type (Natrium super ionic conductor). The properties of this ceramic make it suitable for use in electrochemical devices. These solid electrolytes can be used as sensors for application in the manufacturing of potentiometric gas sensors, for the detection of pollutant emissions and for environment control. The family of NaSICON that we studied has as a general formula Na2.8Zr2−ySi1.8−4yP1.2+4yO12 with 0?y?0.45. The various compositions were synthesized by produced using the sol-gel method. The electric properties of these compositions were carried out by impedance spectroscopy. The results highlight the good conductivity of the Na2.8Zr1.775Si0.9P2.1O12 composition.  相似文献

The crystal structures of the compounds La2−xYxZr2O7 and La2−xYxHf2O7 with x=0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, and 2.0 have been studied using neutron powder diffraction and electron microscopy to determine the stability fields of the pyrochlore and fluorite solid solutions. The limits of pyrochlore stability in these solid solutions are found to be close to La0.8Y1.2Zr2O7 and La0.4Y1.6Hf2O7, respectively. In both systems the unit cell parameter is found to vary linearly with Y content across those compositions where the pyrochlore phase is stable, as does the x-coordinate of the oxygen atoms on the 48f (x,,) sites. In both systems, linear extrapolations of the pyrochlore data suggest that the disordering is accompanied by a small decrease in the lattice parameter of approximately 0.4%. After the pyrochlore solid solution limit is reached, a sharp change is observed from x∼0.41 to 0.375 as the disordered defect fluorite structure is favoured. Electron diffraction patterns illustrate that some short-range order remains in the disordered defect fluorite phases.  相似文献

A careful investigation of the previously reported single phase, pyrochlore structure type Y2(ZryTi1−y)2O7, 0?y?0.9, (YZT) solid solution has been carried out. Given the known slow rate of diffusion of cations in fluorite-related stabilized zirconia systems and the consequent difficulty in achieving equilibrium, careful attention was paid to synthesis procedures while Guinier XRD and electron diffraction were used to investigate the synthesized materials. As a consequence, a subtle but nonetheless clear two-phase region separating a pyrochlore-type solid solution field (from 0?y?∼0.54) from a “defect fluorite” type solid solution field (from ∼0.68?y?1) has been found. The underlying crystal chemistry of the system has been investigated using the bond valence sum approach. The dielectric properties have also been measured as a function of composition. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the lowest y compounds are potentially quite useful but deteriorate rapidly with increasing Zr content.  相似文献

Time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction has been performed on oxides with composition (La1−xNdx)2Zr2O7 and Nd2(Zr1−xTix)2O7, where x=0, 0.2, 0.4,…1.0, in order to determine the solid solution behaviour across each series. Between La2Zr2O7 and Nd2Zr2O7, a cubic pyrochlore phase is observed (, Z=8). A linear decrease in the lattice parameter from 10.8047 to 10.6758 Å indicates complete miscibility of the two end-members. For the same series, the 48f oxygen x-parameter increases from 0.3313 to 0.3348, suggesting increased distortion of the 6 coordinate B sites and reduced distortion of the 8 coordinate A sites. There is limited solubility of Nd2Ti2O7 in Nd2Zr2O7. Exsolution of a monoclinic phase (P21, Z=8) rich in Nd2Ti2O7 is observed at approximately x=0.56. The compositional range over which a solid solution exists is more extensive than that which has been previously reported. The solubility of Nd2Zr2O7 in Nd2Ti2O7 is very low.  相似文献

Three methods were used for the synthesis of LiAlyNi1−yO2 solid solutions with layered crystal structure: citrate and hydroxide precursor methods at atmospheric pressure and high-pressure synthesis in oxygen-rich atmosphere (3 GPa). Structural characterization of the oxides was performed by powder XRD analysis and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Irrespective of the different preparation techniques used, it was found that LiAlyNi1−yO2 solid solutions can be formed in the limited concentration range of 0?y?0.5 and 0.75?y?1.0. The unit cell parameter a decreases linearly with the Al content whereas the unit cell parameter c increases sharper as compared to the linear interpolation of the c parameter calculated for the two end compositions LiNiO2 and LiAlO2. In these compositions, aluminum substitutes for Ni in the NiO2-layer, the mean AlyNi1−y-O bond length decreasing. The extent of the trigonal distortion of AlyNi1−yO6 and LiO6-octahedra varies with the aluminum content and depends on the synthesis procedure used. The LiO6-octahedra are more flexible to tolerate the increased trigonal distortion as compared to the AlyNi1−yO6-octahedra. High-pressure synthesis favors the formation of oxides with a higher extent of trigonal distortion of both AlyNi1−yO6 and LiO6-octahedra. From EPR measurements, it was shown that local cationic distribution in LiAlyNi1−yO2 depends on the synthesis temperature. At atmospheric pressure, higher synthesis temperatures promote the reaction of cation mixing between the layers.  相似文献

The microstructure and phase stability of nanocrystalline mixed oxide LuxCe1−xO2−y (x=0-1) are described. Nano-sized (3-4 nm) oxide particles were prepared by the reverse microemulsion method. Morphological and structural changes upon heat treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and Yb3+ emission spectroscopy, the latter ion being present as an impurity in the Lu2O3 starting material. Up to 950 °C, the samples were single phase, with structure changing smoothly with Lu content from fluorite type (F) to bixbyite type (C). For the samples heated at 1100 °C phase separation into coexisting F- and C-type structures was observed for 0.35<x<0.7. It was also found that addition of Lu strongly hinders the crystallite growth of ceria during heat treatment at 800 and 950 °C.  相似文献

LaFeO3, LaNiO3 and substituted LaFe1−yNiyO3 (y=0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) perovskites were synthesized by the citrate method and used in the catalytic combustion of ethanol and acetyl acetate. Chemical composition was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and specific areas from nitrogen adsorption isotherms. Structural details and surface properties were evaluated by temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), temperature-programmed desorption of oxygen (O2-TPD) and photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Characterization data revealed that total insertion of nickel in the LaFeO3 takes place for substitution y=0.1. However, NiO segregation occurs to some extent, specifically at higher substitutions (y>0.1). The catalytic performance of these perovskites was evaluated in the combustion of acetyl acetate and ethanol. Among these molecules, ethanol exhibited the lowest ignition temperature, and the catalytic activity expressed as intrinsic activity (mol m−2 h−1) was found to increase substantially with the nickel substitution. These results can be explained in terms of the cooperative effect of a LaFe1−yNiyO3 and NiO phases, whose relative concentration determines the oxygen activation capability and hence their reactivity.  相似文献

Zr1−xLnxW2O8−x/2 solid solutions (Ln=Eu, Er, Yb) of different substitution fractions x have been synthesized. Their X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns have been indexed and lattice parameters calculated based on the α-ZrW2O8 structure. The coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) of these solid solutions were estimated to be −10.3×10−6 K−1 in temperature range of 30-100 °C. The solubility of lanthanide ions in these solid solutions decreases linearly with the increase in the radius of substituted lanthanide ions. Based on the concentration dependence of phase transition temperatures, a novel method for determination of solubility of the lanthanide ions in Zr1−xLnxW2O8−x/2 solid solutions has been developed. This method seems to be more sensitive as compared with that based on XRD technique.  相似文献

This paper examines the structural changes with temperature and composition in the Sc2Si2O7-Y2Si2O7 system; members of this system are expected to form in the intergranular region of Si3N4 and SiC structural ceramics when sintered with the aid of Y2O3 and Sc2O3 mixtures. A set of different compositions have been synthesized using the sol-gel method to obtain a xerogel, which has been calcined at temperatures between 1300 and 1750 °C during different times. The temperature-composition diagram of the system, obtained from powder XRD data, is dominated by the β-RE2Si2O7 polymorph, with γ-RE2Si2O7 and δ-RE2Si2O7 showing very reduced stability fields. Isotherms at 1300 and 1600 °C have been analysed in detail to evaluate the solid solubility of the components. Although, the XRD data show a complete solid solubility of β-Sc2Si2O7 in β-Y2Si2O7 at 1300 °C, the 29Si MAS-NMR spectra indicate a local structural change at x ca. 1.15 (Sc2−xYxSi2O7) related to the configuration of the Si tetrahedron, which does not affect the long-range order of the β-RE2Si2O7 structure. Finally, it is interesting to note that, although Sc2Si2O7 shows a unique stable polymorph (β), Sc3+ is able to replace Y3+ in γ-Y2Si2O7 in the compositional range 1.86?x?2 (where x is Sc2−xYxSi2O7) as well as in δ-Y2Si2O7 for compositions much closer to the pure Y2Si2O7.  相似文献

The lithium double diphosphates LiCryFe1−yP2O7 have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, SQUID measurements and vibrational spectroscopy. The Rietveld refinements based on the XRD patterns show the existence of a continuous solid solution over the whole composition range (0?y?1.0) with a continuous evolution of the monoclinic unit cell parameters (S.G. P21). The transition metal ions connect the diphosphate anions forming a three-dimensional network with channels filled by Li+ cations expected to exhibit high mobility. All compounds order magnetically at low temperatures due the Fe-Fe interactions. The ordering temperature decreases with increasing Cr content. The slope in Curie-Weiss fits to the 1/χ vs T data in the paramagnetic domain clearly shows the existence of Fe3+ and Cr3+ in their high spin states, and a ferromagnetic component is clearly detected for y=0, 0.2 and 0.4. IR spectra have been interpreted using factor group analysis. The small shift of the frequencies is due to the influence of the chromium amount. The POP angles were estimated using the Lazarev's relationship.  相似文献

Samples in the system Lu2−xYxSi2O7 (0?x?2) have been synthesized following the sol-gel method and calcined to 1300 °C, a temperature at which the β-polymorph is known to be the stable phase for the end-members Lu2Si2O7 and Y2Si2O7. The XRD patterns of all the compositions studied are compatible with the structure of the β-polymorph. Unit cell parameters are calculated as a function of composition from XRD patterns. They show a linear change with increasing Y content, which indicates a solid solubility of β-Y2Si2O7 in β-Lu2Si2O7 at 1300 °C. 29Si MAS NMR spectra of the different members of the system agree with the XRD results, showing a linear decrease of the 29Si chemical shift with increasing Y content. Finally, 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-Y2Si2O7 and the results compare favorably with the values obtained experimentally.  相似文献

Lithium manganese titanium spinels, LiMn2−yTiyO4, (0.2≤y≤1.5) have been synthesized by solid-state reaction between TiO2 (anatase), Li2CO3 and MnCO3. Li+ was leached from the powdered reaction products by treatment in excess of 0.2 N HCl at 85 °C for 6 h, under reflux. The elemental composition of the acidic solution and solid residues of leaching has been determined by complexometric titration, atomic absorption spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence analysis. Powder X-ray diffraction was used for structural characterization of the crystalline fraction of the solid residues. It has been found that the amount of Li+ leached from LiMn2−yTiyO4 decreases monotonically with increasing y in the interval 0.2≤y≤1.0 and abruptly drops to negligibly small values for y>1.0. The content of Mn and Li in the liquid phase and of Mn and Ti in the solid (amorphous plus crystalline) residue, were related to the composition and cation distribution in the pristine compounds. A new formal chemical equation describing the process of leaching and a mechanism of the structural transformation undergone by the initial solids as a result of Li+ removal has been proposed.  相似文献

The low Y/high Zr edge of the cubic defect fluorite solid solution in the system ZrO2-TiO2-Y2O3 in air is reassessed, as it is these compositions which have been suggested to offer the highest levels of mixed conductivity. Vegard's law is obeyed for values of x which lie within the cubic defect fluorite phase in Zr1−xyYyTixO2−δ for values of y=0.2 and 0.25. Measured lattice parameters show good agreement with those calculated from the Kim relation. Deviation from Vegard's law places the limit of the solid solution at x=0.18 and 0.20 for values of y=0.2 and 0.25, respectively, at 1500 °C. Discrepancies in current literature data can be shown to be due to differences in firing schedule such as slight temperature fluctuations and/or different cooling rates. A high level of care of sintering temperature and cooling profile is essential to form the most promising single-phase materials which contain maximum Ti-contents with low Y-contents. Contraction of the phase limit as a result of poor synthesis control leads to erroneously high values of bulk ionic conductivity while values of electronic conductivity are shown to be less affected.  相似文献

Five series of perovskite-type compounds in the system La1−xCaxCr1−yTiyO3 with the nominal compositions y=0, x=0-0.5; y=0.2, x=0.2-0.8; y=0.5, x=0.5-1.0; y=0.8, x=0.6-1.0 and y=1, x=0.8-1 were synthesized by a ceramic technique in air (final heating 1350 °C). On the basis of the X-ray analysis of the samples with (Ca/Ti)?1, the phase diagram of the CaTiO3-LaCrIIIO3-CaCrIVO3 quasi-ternary system was constructed. Extended solid solution with a wide homogeneity range is formed in the quasi-ternary system CaCrIVO3-CaTiO3-LaCrIIIO3. The solid solution La(1−x′−y)Ca(x′+y)CrIVxCrIII(1−x′−y)TiyO3 exists by up to 0.6-0.7 mol fractions of CaCrIVO3 (x<0.6-0.7) at the experimental conditions. The crystal structure of the compounds is orthorhombic in the space group Pbnm at room temperature. The lattice parameters and the average interatomic distances of the samples within the solid solution ranges decrease uniformly with increasing Ca content. Outside the quasi-ternary system, the nominal compositions La0.1Ca0.9TiO3, La0.2Ca0.8TiO3, La0.4Ca0.6Cr0.2Ti0.8O3 and La0.3Ca0.7Cr0.2Ti0.8O3 in the system La1−xCaxCr1−yTiyO3 were found as single phases with an orthorhombic structure. In the temperature range between 850 and 1000 °C, the synthesized single-phase compositions are stable at pO2=6×10−16-0.21×105 Pa. Oxygen stoichiometry and electrical conductivity of the separate compounds were investigated as functions of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. The chemical stability of these oxides with respect to oxygen release during thermal dissociation decreases with increasing Ca-content. At 900 °C and oxygen partial pressure 1×10−15-0.21×105 Pa, the compounds with x>y (acceptor doped) are p-type semiconductors and those with x<y (donor doped) and x=y are n-type semiconductors. The type and level of electrical conductivity are functions of the concentration ratios of cations occupying the B-sites of the perovskite structures: [Cr3+]/[Cr4+] and [Ti4+]/[Ti3+]. The maximum electrical conductivity at 900 °C and pO2=10−15 Pa was found for the composition La0.1Ca0.9TiO3 (near 50 S/cm) and in air at 900 °C for La0.5Ca0.5CrO3 (close to 100 S/cm).  相似文献
