The non-isothermal devitrification of lithium germanate glasses

The non-isothermal devitrification of lithium germanate glasses, examined by DTA and XRD, is reported and discussed. The glass compositions are expressed by the general formula:xLi₂O(1?x)GeO₂ withx=0.050, 0.125, 0.167, 0.200 and 0.250. All the glasses studied, unlike GeO₂ glass, exhibit internal crystal nucleation without the addition of any nucleating agent. The devitrification processes occur in one or more steps. Phases which crystallized at each step are identified and crystallization mechanisms proposed. These crystallization mechanisms are related to structures of the crystallizing phases. Activation energy values as well as those for glass transition temperatures, do not vary linearly with increase in Li₂O content but pass through a maximum atx=0.200.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Bis-Citrato,Bis-Citramalato and Bis-Malato Germanate(IV) Complexes

Bis-citrato 1a-d , bis-citramalato 2 and bis-malato 3 germanate(IV) complexes were synthesized from germanium dioxide and citric acid, citramalic acid and malic acid respectively and were identified with IR, NMR and elementary analysis. Crystal 1a is triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.919(2), b = 7.968(3), c = 9.605(3) Å, α = 94.25(3), β = 108.03(2), γ= 113.05(3)°, Z = 1, and the final residue, R(F), is 0.033 for 2583 reflections. Crystal 2 is monoclinic, space group C2 with a = 10.226(4), b = 12.802(4), c = 6.141(1) Å, β = 100.75(2)°, Z = 2, and the final residue, R(F), is 0.034 for 934 reflections. Both 1a and 2 have slightly distorted octahedral structures with citrate or citramalate ions as a tridentate ligand that forms five-, six- and seven-membered rings with the central metal. There is a two-fold axis through the central atom of compound 2 instead of the inversion center of 1a . Same structures for these six complexes are indicated because the spectral patterns of the other four compounds, 1b-d and 3 , are similar to those of compounds 1a and 2 .     

Electrophysical characteristics and stability of solid apatite-like electrolytes La x Si6O12 + 1.5x and La x Ge6O12 + 1.5x

Oxygen-ion conduction in apatite-like compounds based on silicates and germanates of lanthanum La _x A₆O_{12 + 1.5x} (A = Si, Ge; x = 9.11–10.22) is studied. The compounds are shown to be purely ionic conductors at 600–900°C and partial oxygen pressures 10^?16 to 10⁵ Pa. The electroconductivity of the best conducting specimens of La _x A₆O_{12 + 1.5x} (A = Si, Ge; x = 9.77–10) exceeds that of electrolyte YSZ at moderate temperatures. The electroconductivity of lanthanum germanate is substantially greater than that of lanthanum silicate, specifically, 7.85 × 10^?2 and 2.35 × 10^?2 S cm^?1, respectively, at 800°C. An inflection is discovered at ～750°C in the temperature dependences of electroconductivity of La _x Ge₆O_{12 + 1.5x} (x = 9.77–10.22). A dilatometric examination points to a second-kind phase transition that may be due to the oxygen sublattice disordering. The behavior of apatite-like electrolytes La _x A₆O_{12 + 1.5x} (A = Si, Ge) during long exploitation periods in the interval of working temperatures of electrochemical devices is studied for the first time ever. The electrolytes’ aging at 800°C in air for 1000 h was investigated by the electroconductivity method. The electroconductivity of lanthanum germanates decayed with time by 5% and that of lanthanum silicates, by 9.5%. The steady-state values of electroconductivity of all compounds studied is reached after 600–700 h. The compounds studied form a class of materials that hold some promise as solid electrolytes for medium-temperature fuel cells and other electrochemical devices.     

MgF2对Mn4+掺杂锗酸盐红色荧光粉发光的影响

3.5MgO·0.5MgF₂·GeO₂∶Mn⁴⁺作为优异热稳定性和良好发光性能的红色荧光粉而被市场应用,然而,该粉体中MgF₂的作用影响机理尚不明晰,阻碍其性能进一步优化和发展。采用高温固相法制备了系列Mn⁴⁺激活的锗酸盐荧光粉,通过对比加入MgF₂、H₃BO₃(助熔剂),研究了该粉体的结构、形貌、发光性能等变化规律,阐明了MgF₂的发光影响作用。研究表明,加入MgF₂、H₃BO₃和不加任何助熔剂时的样品,其最佳烧结温度分别为1 150、1 250和1 350 ℃,上述温度下发光强度均为最佳值,其中加入MgF₂、H₃BO₃的样品在最佳温度处生成了纯相。MgF₂的添加,一方面同H₃BO₃一样作为助熔剂对生成纯相、提高样品结晶度起了积极的作用;另一方面,通过研究分析,确认F^-离子成功掺杂进入晶格,促使样品生成的晶体结构为Mg₁₄Ge₅(O,F)₂₄。加入MgF₂、H₃BO₃在最佳烧结温度的样品的荧光寿命分别为0.93和0.75 ms。     

镍锗尖晶石扩散域高温蠕变性能的实验研究

利用人工合成的多晶材料研究了镍锗尖晶石在扩散域的高温蠕变性质。材料颗粒尺寸为0．5μm到8μm，压缩试件为圆柱状，使用气体介质围压试验机。常压蠕变试验过程中，围压为300MPa，温度为1123K到1523K，差应力在55－330MPa范围内。从实验结果得到的镍锗尖晶石在扩散域的流动律表明流动机制为颗粒边界的扩散蠕变（Coble蠕变）。将橄榄石和尖晶石的蠕变数据外推到地球内部条件，粗粒时尖晶石强度远大于橄榄石，粒度减小时，尖晶石比橄榄石还要弱。     

X‐Ray Luminescence of Thin Oxide Films Containing Lead and Bismuth

We obtained thin films of the Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂, Bi₄Si₂O₁₂, PbWO₄, and Bi₂WO₆ scintillators and investigated their luminescence properties on xray excitation. We measured the xray luminescence spectra and established the linear character for the dependence of the luminescence intensity on the power of the dose of xray irradiation within the limits of up to 3·10^–3 A/kg. We investigated the radiation stability of the films obtained. The possibility of their application for detecting ionizing radiation is investigated. The films based on Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ with an admixture of the Ge and Si or Mn activator of up to 1.5 mol.% are most suitable.

High pressure raman scattering in Pb5Ge3O11

The pressure dependence of various phonon modes has been investigated through the ferro-paraelectric phase transition. Most mode frequencies harden before levelling off above the phase transition. Mode Grüneisen parameters are estimated from the pressure dependence of phonon frequencies.     

Facile, aprotic degradation of η-CpZrCl3·dme by ternary sodium/group 14 tert-butoxides: From η-CpZrCl3·dme back to NaCp in two easy steps

CpZrCl₃·dme was treated with Na[El(O^tBu)₃], El = Ge, Sn, Pb, respectively. The addition of Na[Sn(O^tBu)₃] to CpZrCl₃·dme caused rapid cyclopentadienide loss and the equally rapid appearance of CpSnCl, half of which crystallized as the trinuclear complex {[ZrCl(O^tBu)₃]₂·CpSnCl}. Pristine CpSnCl reacted almost instantly with NaO^tBu to give NaCp and Na[Sn(O^tBu)₃], which co-crystallized as a coordination polymer. Na[Ge(O^tBu)₃] also displaced Cp from zirconium, but with a different product distribution, giving Cp₂Ge, fac-[Ge(μ-^tBuO)₃ZrCl(O^tBu)₂], and ZrCl(O^tBu)₃. By contrast, Na[Pb(O^tBu)₃] only exchanged its tert-butoxide groups with zirconium to furnish CpZr(O^tBu)₃ and PbCl₂. The solid-state structures of {[ZrCl(O^tBu)₃]₂·CpSnCl}, fac-[Ge(μ-^tBuO)₃ZrCl(O^tBu)₂], and {NaCp·Na[Sn(O^tBu)₃]}_n were determined.
