Physical and Electrochemical Characterization of Hydrothermal Prepared α'-NaV_2O_5 Crystals

α'-NaV2O5 was prepared by a simple hydrothermal process.X-ray diffraction confirmed the orthorhombic structure of α'-NaV2O5,with preferential growth along the (001) direction.Scanning electron microscopy showed α'-NaV2O5 was composed of flake-shaped crystals.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the co-existence of V4+ and V5+ in α'-NaV2O5,which results in an average V4.5+ oxidation state of α'-NaV2O5.The observed Raman bands are ascribed to different V―O vibrations.α'-NaV2O5 shows a reversible specific capacity of about 100 mA·h·g-1 between 3.5 and 1.0 V,with a good capacity retention.The good electrochemical stability of the material is attributed to its structural stability during Li+ intercalation.     

New high permittivity tetragonal tungsten bronze dielectrics Ba2LaMNb4O15: M=Mn, Fe

The new phases Ba₂LaMNb₄O₁₅: M=Mn, Fe were prepared by solid state reaction at 1100 °C. They have the tetragonal tungsten bronze structure, space group P4/mbm, at room temperature. The two octahedral sites show partial order of M and Nb with preferential occupancy of the smaller B(1) sites by M. Both phases have high permittivities 90±15 over the range 10-320 K. Ba₂LaFeNb₄O₁₅ is highly insulating with bulk conductivity ?10⁻⁸ ohm⁻¹ cm⁻¹ at 25 °C and tan δ?0.001 over the range 100-320 K and at 10⁵ Hz. Solid solutions between these new phases and the compositionally and structurally related relaxor ferroelectric Ba₂LaTi₂Nb₃O₁₅ show gradual loss of ferroelectric behaviour attributed to replacement of polarisable Ti⁴⁺ by a mixture of (Mn, Fe)³⁺ and Nb⁵⁺.     

Raman characterization of Pb2Na1−xLaxNb5−xFexO15 and Pb0.5(5−x)LaxNb5−xFexO15 (0≤x≤1) solid solutions

The ferroelectric compounds Pb₂Na_1−xLa_xNb_5−xFe_xO₁₅ and Pb_0.5(5−x)La_xNb_5−xFe_xO₁₅ (0≤x≤1) with the tungsten bronze type structure have been investigated using Raman spectroscopy. The evolution of the spectra as a function of composition at room temperature is reported. In the frequency range 200-1000 cm⁻¹ three main A₁ phonons around 240 (υ₁), 630 (υ₂) and 816 (υ₃) cm⁻¹ were observed. The broadening of the Raman lines for high values of x originates from a significant structural disorder. This is in good agreement with the relaxor character of these compositions. The lowest-frequency part of the spectra, below 180 cm⁻¹, reveals a structural change in the studied solid solutions. The behaviour of the Raman shift of the υ₁ mode confirms that in Pb₂Na_1−xLa_xNb_5−xFe_xO₁₅, a clear anomaly occurs in the vicinity of x=0.4.     

Barium Sodium Niobate Powders and Thin Films: Preparation and Ferroelectric Behavior

Powders and thin films of barium sodium niobate, Ba₄Na₂Nb₁₀O₃₀, of filled tungsten bronze type ferroelectric were processed by a sol-gel route using barium metal, niobium ethoxide and sodium methoxide as precursors. Polycrystalline powder resulted after heat treating the gel powder at or above 650°C. Thin films of Ba₄Na₂Nb₁₀O₃₀ showed no preferred orientation on Si(100), Pt/Si(100) and sapphire substrates. Hysteresis measurements at 1 kHz for the thin films annealed at 750°C, obtained using a prehydrolyzed precursor solution, and gave remanent polarization of 17.34 µC/cm² and coercive field of 62.5 kV/cm. Microstructural investigation of surface morphology of these films revealed grains about 0.3 µm in size. Prehydrolysis of the precursor solution was found to be necessary to achieve dense films with ferroelectric properties.

Hoek–Brown criterion applied to circular tunnel using elastoplasticity and in situ axial stress

Based on the nonlinear Hoek–Brown failure criterion, elastoplastic analytical solutions are developed for the elastoplastic stresses, strains and plastic zones around a circular tunnel subjected to different value of the axial in situ stress. Effects of the transverse in situ stress, the axial in situ stress and the strength parameters of rock masses on the elastoplastic stresses, strains and plastic zones in the surrounding rock masses are investigated. It is found from the numerical results that the stresses, strains, and plastic zones in the surrounding rock depend not only on the transverse in situ stress but also on the axial in situ stress as well as the mechanical parameters of rock masses.     

热处理棕褐色电气石光谱学特征与颜色成因初探

电气石属三方晶系的硼铝硅酸盐,主要有铁电气石、锂电气石、镁电气石、钠-锰电气石等品种,因含不同的过渡元素或色心而呈绿、蓝、黄、红、粉、棕和黑色。选取棕褐色电气石样品在还原和中性气氛加热3 h,结果显示,600 ℃晶体出现大量裂隙;500和450 ℃棕褐色调减弱,透明度大大提升,500 ℃裂隙稍多;350 ℃加热,样品变绿黄棕色;250 ℃加热样品略微变浅,仍为棕褐色调;加热后∥c轴切面见明显绿色与棕色二色性,垂直c轴切面,即{0001}面,为棕色;综合显示,最佳变色温度在450~500 ℃。利用X射线荧光光谱(XRF)、红外吸收光谱(IR)和紫外-可见光吸收光谱(UV-Vis)对热处理前后样品进行分析,样品属于富Mn和Fe的锂电气石。样品中红外特征吸收峰在3 800~3 400,1 350~1 250,1 200~800与800 cm-1,近红外光谱有4 720,4 597,4 537,4 441,4 343,4 203和4 170 cm-1特征峰。热处理后,由M-OH(M为Al,Mg,Fe和Mn等)伸缩和弯曲振动所致的3 800~3 400 cm-1吸收峰减弱,600 ℃消失,与加热失水行为导致的结构水弯曲/伸缩振动减弱有关;近红外光谱4 170和4 720 cm-1吸收消失。棕褐色电气石在∥c轴切面的可见光范围内具有715,540和417 nm吸收带,依次为Fe2+ d-d(5T_2g→5E_g)跃迁、Fe2+→Fe3+(IVCT)、Fe2+→Ti4+(IVCT)所致。样品具有高的Mn含量,417 nm附近的吸收可能存在Mn2+ d-d (6A_1g→4A_1g, 4T_Eg)自旋禁阻跃迁产生的413/414 nm叠加。热处理使Mn3+还原成Mn2+,Mn2+增加导致414 nm吸收峰增强,因此417 nm附近吸收带变化不大。同时,热处理后与Mn3+有关的520 nm吸收也同时消失,520 nm吸收带的存在也可能是540 nm吸收带呈非对称吸收峰的原因。450 ℃以上热处理后,715和417 nm吸收带变化不大,位于绿光区的540 nm吸收带消失,分析认为加热使得部分Fe3+还原为Fe2+,导致Fe2+→Fe3+(IVCT)减少,在∥c轴切面上540 nm吸收显著减弱。540 nm吸收带在绿色光区域,其消失导致绿色光透过,样品呈绿色。     

云南青铜防腐显微拉曼光谱和EPMA研究

应用显微激光拉曼光谱和EPMA(电子探针技术),对云南的四件青铜器(两件春秋时期的青铜矛和两面元代的青铜镜)的腐蚀情形和防腐技术进行了分析研究。拉曼实验结果表明,云南青铜器表面腐蚀产物的主要成分有Cu2O和CuCO3.Cu(OH)2。利用电子探针技术,确定了青铜器内部和表面的元素成分。本文初步分析了云南四件青铜器防腐技术的应用和发展,春秋战国时期,人们在青铜矛表面涂上一层锡的氧化物涂层以防腐蚀;元代的人则采用合金表面处理技术防腐。事实证明,锡的氧化物涂层的防腐效果最好。对金属文物的研究,显微激光拉曼光谱是一种原位无损检测的有效方法,但还是有某些局限性,若配合以电子探针等测试方法,可以达到更好的效果。     

Microstructure evolution and dielectric properties of Ba<Subscript>5-x</Subscript>Na<Subscript>2x</Subscript>Nb<Subscript>10</Subscript>O<Subscript>30</Subscript> ceramics with different Ba–Na Ratios

The tetragonal tungsten bronzes of Ba5−xNa_2x Nb₁₀O₃₀ (BNN, 0.5≤ x≤1.3) ceramics were synthesized using the solid state reaction method. The sintering behavior and dielectric characteristics of the BNN ceramics, as a function of the Ba-Na ratio, were examined. Densification of the samples with excess compositions of Ba and Na was higher than that of the stoichiometric BNN sample. The maximum dielectric constant and the Curie temperature showed highest values at the stoichiometric composition and decreased as the composition shifted away from the stoichiometry. in order to obtain a quantitative evaluation of the diffuse phase transition (DPT) behavior of the BNN ceramics, γ and C/κ_max were calculated. The weakest DPT behavior was observed in the stoichiometric composition. An increase in the DPT is in correlation with the increase in the number of ways of cation distribution by the disordered occupation of Ba and Na and the vacancies in the A1 and A2 sites of the tungsten bronze structure.
