Abstract

A method of preparing a lead magnesium niobium oxide (PMN), Pb(Mg{sub 1/3}Nb{sub 2/3})O{sub 3}, precursor solution by a solvent method wherein a liquid solution of a lead-complex PMN precursor is combined with a liquid solution of a niobium-complex PMN precursor, the combined lead- and niobium-complex liquid solutions are reacted with a magnesium-alkyl solution, forming a PMN precursor solution and a lead-based precipitate, and the precipitate is separated from the reacted liquid PMN precursor solution to form a precipitate-free PMN precursor solution. This precursor solution can be processed to form both ferroelectric powders and thin films. 3 figs.

Sol-Gel Preparation Of Lead Magnesium Ni Obate (Pmn) Powdersand Thin Films

Patent Boyle, Timothy J [Albuquerque, NM]

A method of preparing a lead magnesium niobium oxide (PMN), Pb(Mg.sub.1/3 Nb.sub.2/3)O.sub.3, precursor solution by a solvent method wherein a liquid solution of a lead-complex PMN precursor is combined with a liquid solution of a niobium-complex PMN precursor, the combined lead- and niobium-complex liquid solutions are reacted with a magnesium-alkyl solution, forming a PMN precursor solution and a lead-based precipitate, and the precipitate is separated from the reacted liquid PMN precursor solution to form a precipitate-free PMN precursor solution.

Use of sol-gels in the application of ceramic oxide thin films. [Ba titanate; Li niobate; Li tantalate]

Technical Report Paulson, B A

Single components sols were characterized and used to make thin films on silicon wafers. The empirical equation, d = (2000 log(..mu..) + 350)(w)/sup -0.5/, was obtained, which adequately describes the thickness of the sintered films, independent of the ceramic oxide, solvent, concentration, sol age, and reaction conditions. The single component sols were used to make binary oxide sols - barium titanate, lithium niobate, and lithium tantalate. A barium solution can be added to the titania sol to produce a barium titanate compound of the desired composition, including Ba/sub 2/Ti/sub 9/O/sub 20/ and BaTi/sub 5/O/sub 11/.

Ambient pressure process for preparing aerogel thin films reliquified sols useful in preparing aerogel thin films

Patent Brinker, C J; Prakash, S S

A method for preparing aerogel thin films by an ambient-pressure, continuous process is disclosed. The method of this invention obviates the use of an autoclave and is amenable to the formation of thin films by operations such as dip coating. The method is less energy intensive and less dangerous than conventional supercritical aerogel processing techniques.

Processing effects in the sol-gel preparation of PZT dried gels, powders, and ferroelectric thin layers

Journal Article Lakeman, C D.E.; Payne, D A [Illinois Univ., Urbana, IL (United States). Materials Research Lab.] - Journal of the American Ceramic Society; (United States)

This paper reports on infrared spectroscopy that was used to monitor and characterize solutions used in the preparation of PZT 53/47 powders, dried gels, and thin layers deposited on platinized silicon substrates. It was found that careful control of the chemistry of the precursor solutions, in particular the control of the formation of esters and their elimination, resulted in reproducible solutions which could be used to prepare thin layers with superior properties. In addition, it was found that phase development and microstructure were related to the precursor chemistry. Single-phase perovskite layers with uniform microstructures resulted from ester-free solutions and weremore » « less
