Resistance reduction effect of potassium bismuth titanate doping in yttrium–manganese co-doped medium Curie temperature barium titanate lead free ceramics through improved synthesis process

Through improved synthesis process, resistance reduction effect of (K_0.5Bi_0.5)TiO₃ (KBT) doping in Y–Mn co-doped BaTiO₃ (BT) lead free ceramics was investigated. By different doping methods (doping K₂O, Bi₂O₃ and TiO₂ or synthesized KBT), medium Curie temperature (around 130 °C) lead free BT ceramics were obtained with ultra-low resistivity (13.84 Ωcm) with a temperature maintaining process at 700 °C. In this contribution, effect of sintering process and doping methods is discussed in detail.     

BaTiO_3系PTCR热敏电阻器用烧结助剂的研究

研究了烧结助剂的作用，实验结果表明：如只引入半导化元素，不引入烧结助剂，则室温电阻率ρ２５很大，甚至是绝缘体。由于烧结助剂的加入，既改善了ＰＴＣＲ热敏电阻陶瓷的烧结性，又改善了其ρ２５、耐电压Ｖｂ、ＰＴＣ效应等特性，从而使产品的各种特性易于重复。烧结助剂昔日多用ＡＳＴ，现在常用ＳｉＯ２，其加入量ｘ宜小于２％。ＳｉＯ２的纯度、杂质等化学特性，与粒子形状、粒度分布、晶系等物理特性，对ＰＴＣＲ热敏电阻器的电性能有很大的影响。据此提出了ＢａＴｉＯ３系ＰＴＣＲ热敏电阻器用ＳｉＯ２的技术标准。

Fabrication and properties of PLZT ceramics from spray-dried aqueous solution

PLZT ceramics with the composition of 9/62/38 (La/Zr/Ti) were fabricated from spraydried aqueous solution. Complete crystallization of the spray-dried powder is achieved after 1 hr calcination at 650‡ C as compared to 800‡ C, 1 hr for conventional mixedoxide method. Sintering environment plays an important role in the densification of PLZT ceramics. Densities of the atmosphere sintered samples are much higher than those of normal sintered ones. PLZT ceramics derived from spray-dried powders have properties comparable to those derived from sol-gel ones. The spray-dried method presents a less expensive and more effective approach in the synthesis of PLZT ceramics.     

Mechanism of the thermal decomposition of nitrates from graphite furnace mass spectrometry studies

A basically new mechanism of the thermal decomposition of solids is proposed to explain the mass spectral observations of gaseous molecules of CoO, CuO, Cu₂O, NiO, PbO and Mg(OH)₂ during the low-temperature decomposition of the anhydrous and hydrated nitrates of these metals. The mechanism consists of two stages: congruent gasification of all reaction products irrespective of their saturated vapor pressure and subsequent condensation of the low-volatility species (oxides and hydroxides). The partial pressures of these species at the appearance temperatures calculated from this theory for the first stage of the process (1–50 mPa) are in agreement with the detection limits of the quadrupole mass spectrometers used in these experiments. The proposed mechanism is supported by other available data obtained by thermal analysis.

Modification of a three-way catalyst washcoat by aging: A study along the longitudinal axis

This work reports the research carried out by studying aliquots extracted at different axial coordinates from Three Way Catalyst (TWC) monoliths aged under real traffic conditions. Our study focused on the catalytic properties and on several chemical and physical effects caused in the Front and Rear monolith washcoat surfaces by vehicle aging after 60,000 km. Regarding the catalytic properties, all the used aliquots showed poorer activity than their corresponding fresh counterparts. The strongest deactivation was detected for NO and hydrocarbon conversion. CO conversion was less affected and the Rear monolith was as deactivated as the Front one. The characterisation techniques (TXRF, N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherms, XRD and H₂-TPR) detected - (i) the deposition of P, Zn and Pb; (ii) the formation of CePO₄ on account of the Ce from the washcoat; (iii) thermal sintering; (iv) inhibition of the reducibility of Ce oxides - as the main effects brought about by vehicle aging conditions. The deactivation observed at the beginning of the Front monolith was the result of a combination of the former effects. When moving downstream to higher axial coordinates, Pb accumulation and the loss of specific area appeared to be the only probable sources of deactivation.     

Collapse transition and asymptotic scaling behavior of lattice animals: Low-temperature expansion

A low-temperature expansion for the free energy density of lattice animals is derived. Analysis of the series yields a collapse transition temperature ofT _c - 0.54, in close agreement with previous estimates. It is demonstrated that _p,k, the number ofp-particle,p-bond animals, obeys the asymptotic scaling law log _p,k pg(k/p) + o(p). The low-temperature series and numerical data are used to estimate the scaling function.
