Project description:The effect of Sr-deficiency on microstructure, phase composition and electrical conductivity of SrxZr0.95Yb0.05O3-δ (x = 0.94-1.00) was investigated via X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and impedance spectroscopy. The samples were synthesized by a chemical solution method and sintered at 1600 °C. According to X-ray diffraction data, the samples with x = 0.96-1.00 were single-phase oxides possessing an orthorhombic perovskite-type structure; while zirconia-based minor phases arouse at x = 0.94, which was confirmed by the electron microscopy. Sr stoichiometry was shown to influence the electrical conductivity. The highest total and bulk conductivities, 6-10-4 Scm-1 and 3-10-3 Scm-1, respectively, at 600 °C in humid air (pH2O = 3.2 kPa), were observed for the x = 0.98 composition. In the temperature range of 300-600 °C, the conductivity of the samples with x = 0.96-1.00 increased with the increase in humidity, which indicates a significant contribution of protonic defects to the charge transport. Electrical conductivity of SrxZr0.95Yb0.05O3-δ was discussed in terms of the defect formation model and the secondary phases precipitation.

Project description:The effect of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) addition on the crystal structure, morphology, and magnetic properties of co-precipitated hexagonal barium ferrite was investigated. For a fixed amount of surfactant, different Fe3+ concentrations and Fe3+/Ba2+ ratios were used to optimize the formation of single-phase barium ferrite particles. The results indicated that the obtained ferrite particles exhibited coercivity changes similar to those of superparamagnetic particles with larger than theoretically calculated particle sizes. This results from the softening of the material due to the size reduction of the grains and incorporation of excess barium, localized on the surface of the particles. Therefore, lowering the energy barrier required to reverse the magnetization was observed, while high magnetization saturation was preserved. The precipitation of barium ferrite particles from a surfactant-rich solution allowed control of BaFe12O19 magnetic properties without introducing any modifications inside the crystal structure.

Project description:The incorporation of magnetic barium hexaferrite nanoparticles in a transparent polymer matrix of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is reported for the first time. The barium hexaferrite nanoplatelets doped with Sc(3+), i.e., BaSc0.5Fe11.5O12 (BaHF), having diameters in the range 20 to 130 nm and thicknesses of approximately 5 nm, are synthesized hydrothermally and stabilized in 1-butanol with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. This method enables the preparation of monolithic nanocomposites by admixing the BaHF suspension into a liquid monomer, followed by in-situ, bulk free-radical polymerization. The PMMA retains its transparency for loadings of BaHF nanoparticles up to 0.27 wt.%, meaning that magnetically and optically anisotropic, monolithic nanocomposites can be synthesized when the polymerization is carried out in a magnetic field. The excellent dispersion of the magnetic nanoparticles, coupled with a reasonable control over the magnetic properties achieved in this investigation, is encouraging for the magneto-optical applications of these materials.

Project description:Introduction: Dilutely doped ferroelectric materials are of interest, as engineering these materials by introducing point defects via doping often leads to unique behavior not otherwise achievable in the undoped material. For example, B-site doping with transition metals in barium titanate (BaTiO3, or BTO) creates defect dipoles via oxygen vacancies leading enhanced polarization, strain, and the ability to tune dielectric properties. Though defect dipoles should lead to dielectric property enhancements, the effect of grain size in polycrystalline ferroelectrics such as BTO plays a significant role in those properties as well. Methods: Herein, doped BTO with 1.0% copper (Cu), iron (Fe), or cobalt (Co) was synthesized using traditional solid-state processing to observe the contribution of both defect-dipole formation and grain size on the ferroelectric and dielectric properties. Results and discussion: 1.0% Cu doped BTO showed the highest polarization and strain (9.3 μC/cm2 and 0.1%, respectively) of the three doped BTO samples. While some results, such as the aforementioned electrical properties of the 1.0% Cu doped BTO can be explained by the strong chemical driving force of the Cu atoms to form defect dipoles with oxygen vacancies and copper's consistent +2 valency leading to stable defect-dipole formation (versus the readily mixed valency states of Fe and Co at +2/+3), other properties cannot. For instance, all three Tc values should fall below that of undoped BTO (typically 120°C-135°C), but the Tc of 1.0% Cu BTO actually exceeds that range (139.4°C). Data presented on the average grain size and distribution of grain sizes provides insight allowing us to decouple the effect of defect dipoles and the effect of grain size on properties such as Tc, where the 1.0% Cu BTO was shown to possess the largest overall grains, leading to its increase in Tc. Conclusion/future work: Overall, the 1% Cu BTO possessed the highest polarization, strain, and Tc and is a promising dopant for engineering the performance of the material. This work emphasizes the challenge of extricating one effect (such as defect-dipole formation) from another (grain size modification) inherent to doping polycrystalline BTO.

Project description:The study investigated the effects of Sr-doping on BaTiO₃ regarding the mean square displacement, diffusion coefficient, polarization-strain response, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss. Initially, increasing strontium doping up to 6% enhanced the mean square displacement (from 0.211 to 0.218 Å2) and the diffusion coefficient (from 0.361 to 0.380 nm2/ns) due to improved atomic mobility and lattice dynamics. However, further doping to 8% caused a decrease in both the mean square displacement and the diffusion coefficient, due to structural disorder and defects that impeded atomic movement. Similarly, the piezoelectric coefficient increased from 273.07 pC/N to 321.15 pC/N with 6% doping but declined to 308.65 pC/N at 8%. This indicated enhanced polarization at moderate doping levels but reduced performance due to excess impurities. The dielectric constant arose from 76 to 85 with 6% strontium but decreased to 80 at 8%, reflecting increased ferroelectric properties followed by structural degradation. Lastly, dielectric loss increased from 0.06 to 0.08 with 6% doping and then decreased to 0.073 at 8%. This suggested that while ionic mobility initially improved energy loss, excessive doping led to inefficiencies. Overall, optimal strontium doping enhanced the material's ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties, while excessive doping introduced detrimental effects.

Project description:Following the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in the La-H system, we studied the formation of new chemical compounds in the barium-hydrogen system at pressures from 75 to 173 GPa. Using in situ generation of hydrogen from NH3BH3, we synthesized previously unknown superhydride BaH12 with a pseudocubic (fcc) Ba sublattice in four independent experiments. Density functional theory calculations indicate close agreement between the theoretical and experimental equations of state. In addition, we identified previously known P6/mmm-BaH2 and possibly BaH10 and BaH6 as impurities in the samples. Ab initio calculations show that newly discovered semimetallic BaH12 contains H2 and H3- molecular units and detached H12 chains which are formed as a result of a Peierls-type distortion of the cubic cage structure. Barium dodecahydride is a unique molecular hydride with metallic conductivity that demonstrates the superconducting transition around 20 K at 140 GPa.

Project description:The magnetic properties of SrFe12O19 (SFO) hard hexaferrites are governed by the complex relation to its microstructure, determining their relevance for permanent magnets´ applications. A set of SFO nanoparticles obtained by sol-gel self-combustion synthesis was selected for an in-depth structural X-Rays powder diffraction (XRPD) characterization by means of G(L) line-profile analysis. The obtained crystallites´ size distribution reveal a clear dependence of the size along the [001] direction on the synthesis approach, resulting in the formation of platelet-like crystallites. In addition, the size of the SFO nanoparticles was determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and the average number of crystallites within a particle was estimated. These results have been evaluated to illustrate the formation of single-domain state below a critical value, and the activation volume was derived from time dependent magnetization measurements, aiming to clarify the reversal magnetization process of hard magnetic materials.

Project description:High electrical conductivity is a prerequisite for improving the performance of organic semiconductors for various applications and can be achieved through molecular doping. However, often the conductivity is enhanced only up to a certain optimum doping concentration, beyond which it decreases significantly. We combine analytical work and Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate that carrier-carrier interactions can cause this conductivity decrease and reduce the maximum conductivity by orders of magnitude, possibly in a broad range of materials. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we disentangle the effect of carrier-carrier interactions from carrier-dopant interactions. Coulomb potentials of ionized dopants are shown to decrease the conductivity, but barely influence the trend of conductivity versus doping concentration. We illustrate these findings using a doped fullerene derivative for which we can correctly estimate the carrier density at which the conductivity maximizes. We use grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering to show that the decrease of the conductivity cannot be explained by changes to the microstructure. We propose the reduction of carrier-carrier interactions as a strategy to unlock higher-conductivity organic semiconductors.

Project description:Creating highly electrically conducting cables from macroscopic aggregates of carbon nanotubes, to replace metallic wires, is still a dream. Here we report the fabrication of iodine-doped, double-walled nanotube cables having electrical resistivity reaching ?10????.m. Due to the low density, their specific conductivity (conductivity/weight) is higher than copper and aluminum and is only just below that of the highest specific conductivity metal, sodium. The cables exhibit high current-carrying capacity of 10??10??A/cm² and can be joined together into arbitrary length and diameter, without degradation of their electrical properties. The application of such nanotube cables is demonstrated by partly replacing metal wires in a household light bulb circuit. The conductivity variation as a function of temperature for the cables is five times smaller than that for copper. The high conductivity nanotube cables could find a range of applications, from low dimensional interconnects to transmission lines.

Project description:Cu-doped MnO2 with the composition of Mn1-xCuxO2 (x = 0-0.15) was synthesized and characterized. The synthesis was carried out by hydrothermal method at 140 °C for 5 h of reaction dwell time. The characterizations include X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Microscopy, X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), and Impedance complex analysis. It was revealed that all samples have nanorod morphology. Their size increases with the increasing dopant. Additionally, K ions are detected by EDX. All samples pose α-MnO2 type structures performing (2 × 2) and (1 × 1) tunnels permitting large ions incorporated and oxygen deficiency. The octahedron was distorted to elongate up to x = 0.10, then compressed for x = 0.15, inducing the Jan Teller effect. Oxidation state analysis revealed that the manganese has Mn3+ and Mn4+, while the copper is mainly attributed to Cu2+ and Cu3+ respectively. The small ionic size and highly oxidized Cu3+ substitute Mn4+, while Cu2+ substitutes Mn3+ or simultaneously with the larger K+ incorporated in the tunnel. Accordingly, the defects to exist in the sample, namely CuMn' , MnMn' , VO•• , and e' . Electrical characterization at room temperature revealed that the conductivity of Cu-doped MnO2 is dominated by electrons influenced by the various oxidation state of the cations in the octahedron sites, while space charges dominate the dielectric response.
