Microstructure and electrical transport in nano-grain sized Ce{sub 0.9}Gd{sub 0.1}O{sub 2-{delta}} ceramics

Journal Article Ruiz-Trejo, Enrique ; Santoyo-Salazar, Jaime ; Vilchis-Morales, Ruben ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

An enhancement of the electrical conductivity has been found in nano-grain sized Ce{sub 0.9}Gd{sub 0.1}O{sub 2-{delta}} ceramics when measured in N{sub 2} (p{sub O{sub 2}}=3.5x10{sup -6} atm) in comparison with the most commonly accepted values of bulk ionic conductivity. We first present the synthesis and characterisation of the nanoparticles later used for the preparation of dense nanoceramics of Gd-doped CeO{sub 2}. The nanoparticles were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The good sintering properties of these nanopowders allowed us to obtain very dense ceramics (>90% theoretical density) while keeping the grain sizemore »« less

The room-temperature elastic moduli, fracture strength, and fracture toughness of dense, fine-grained, pure Ce{sub 0.9}Gd{sub 0.1}O{sub 1.95} and composites containing 1.3 and 9.1 wt. % Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} were investigated. Addition of 9.1 wt.% Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} to Ce{sub 0.9}Gd{sub 0.1}O{sub 1.95} changed the fracture mode from intergranular to transgranular and increased room-temperature fracture strength from 65 to 125 MPa and fracture toughness from 1.3 to 1.6 MPam{sup 1/2}. In addition, steady-state compressive creep was measured for Ce{sub 0.9}Gd{sub 0.1}O{sub 1.95} and the Ce{sub 0.9}Gd{sub 0.1}O{sub 2{minus}x} + 9.1 wt.% Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} composite.

Structural characterisation of the perovskite series Sr{sub 0.9-x}Ca{sub x}Ce{sub 0.1}MnO{sub 3}: Influence of the Jahn-Teller effect

Journal Article Kennedy, Brendan J., E-mail: B.Kennedy@chem.usyd.edu.a ; Ting, Jimmy ; Qingdi, Zhou ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Fifteen perovskite-type compounds Sr{sub 0.9-x}Ca{sub x}Ce{sub 0.1}MnO{sub 3}, x=0-0.9 in steps as fine as 0.05, have been synthesised by solid state methods, and the room temperature structures characterised using X-ray synchrotron powder diffraction. At low Ca contents (x<=0.45) the structures are tetragonal in space group I4/mcm and at high Ca contents (x>=0.55) the compounds are orthorhombic in space group Pbnm. At room temperature these two phases co-exist in the compound with x=0.5. XANES measurements show the Ce to be present as Ce{sup 4+} in all the oxides. High temperature structures are reported for selected members. - Graphical abstract: At roommore »« less

Defect structures in the brannerite-type vanadates. VIII.

Journal Article Mocala, K ; Ziolkowski, J - J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

It is shown that MgV/sub 2/O/sub 6/ and LiVMoO/sub 6/, both of the brannerite-type structure, exhibit miscibility in the entire composition range resulting in the formation of MgLi = Mg/sub 1-y/Li/sub y/V/sub 2-y/Mo/sub y/O/sub 6/ solid solutions. For y > 0.5 significant capacity of the MgLi matrix to the excess of Mo/sup 6 +/ cations compensated by cation vacancies phi appears and MgLiO = Mg/sub 1-x-y/O/sub x/Li/sub y/V/sub 2-2x-y/Mo/sub 2x+y/O/sub 6/ solutions become stable. Pronounced negative deviations from Vegard's law are simultaneously observed for MgLi solid solutions. An unusual phenomenon is thus observed; monovalent cation (Li/sup +/) substituted for bivalentmore »« less
