It is found to have a hexagonal W-type structure with lattice parametersa = 5.850 Å andc = 33.156 Å.

Studies on electrical conduction in Bi4SrTi4O15

The ferroelectric Bi₄SrTi₄O₁₅ has been synthesized and a study of the electrical (AC) conductivity was made on both poled and unpoled samples in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz and from room temperature to 550°C.

The ceramic samples of lithium-samarium modified lead molybdate, Pb(Li_1/4 Sm_1/4 Mo_1/2)O₃ (PLSM)—a member of ABO₃ family were prepared by solid state reaction technique at ≈ 600–700°C.

Characterization of La1 −x Sr1 +x Cu5 −x Fe x O12 + δ (0 ≤x ≤ 1·0) by dc electrical conductivity,magnetic susceptibility and EPR measurements(0 ≤x ≤ 1·0) by dc electrical conductivity,magnetic susceptibility and EPR measurements

The DC electrical resistivity results of La_{4 −x} Sr_{1 +x} Cu_{5 −x} Fe _x O_{12 + δ} (0 ≤x ≤ 1·0) showed that for S1 (x = 0) and S2 (x = 0·25) the temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR), dρ/dT, is positive and slightly increases with increasing temperature in the range 20–270 K. This shows the metallic nature of S1 and S2. For the samples S3(x = 0·5) and S4 (x = 0·75), TCR slightly increases in the range 20–270 K, with change in sign from negative to positive at ∼ 80 K and ∼ 130 K, respectively. These results show the metal-insulator type transition in S3 and S4. For the sample S5 (x = 1·0), the TCR is negative and gradually increases in the range 20–270 K, which shows its semiconductor-like behaviour. The activation energy for S5 is found to be 0·21 × 10⁻² eV. Furthermore, the DC resistivity results of S1–S5 in the range 350–660 K are in conformity with the low temperature results. The very weak temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility results of S1–S3 show Pauli-paramagnetic behaviour in the range 77K–400 K, while S4 and S5 exhibit Pauli-paramagnetic behaviour in the range 77–850 K. Long-range antiferromagnetic interaction is observed in S5 (x = 1·0) belowT _c ∼ 100 K. The room temperature EPR lineshapes gradually improve from metallic S1 (x = 0) to semiconductor-like S5(x = 1·0). Negativeg-shift is observed in the samples S2–S5 with increasing trend ing _iso-values of 1·880 in S2 to 1·961 in S5. However, theg _iso-value for S1 could not be observed due to very poor lineshape.

Structural and magnetic properties of room temperature milled Co0.2Zn0.8Fe2O4 spinel oxide

We report the nanoparticle Co_0.2Zn_0.8Fe₂O₄ spinel oxide, synthesized by room temperature mechanical milling. The system is stabilized mainly in spinel oxide phase after 78 hrs milling time and no other phases have been observed from the XRD spectra of the 100 hrs milled sample. We have studied the particle size effects on structural as well as on magnetic properties by annealing the 100 hrs as milled sample at different temperatures for 12 hours. The XRD and TEM data show that the particle size decreases with increasing milling time upto 60 hrs and then show an increasing trend with milling time. The particle size also increases with annealing the 100 hrs as milled sample with better crystalline structure. It is observed that the magnetic properties of the annealed samples can be correlated with the structural change without breaking the crystal symmetry of the cubic spinel phase of Co_0.2Zn_0.8Fe₂O₄ spinel oxide. The change in the crystal structural as revealed by the XRD spectra can be associated with the non-equilibrium to equilibrium cationic distribution between tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites of the spinel structure.

Synthesis and luminescence properties of CaAl2O4:Mn4+ phosphor

CaAl_2−yO₄:yMn⁴⁺ (y = 0–1.6 mol%) phosphors are synthesized by a solid-state reaction method in air, and their crystal structure and luminescence property are investigated. To compare luminescence property, CaAl_3.99O₇:1%Mn⁴⁺ and SrAl_1.99O₄:1%Mn⁴⁺ phosphors are also synthesized at the same condition. Broad band excitation spectra are observed within the range 220–550 nm, and emission spectra cover from 600 to 720 nm with the strongest emission peak at ∼658 nm owing to the ²E → ⁴A₂ transition of Mn⁴⁺ ion. The influence of crystal field to luminous intensity is discussed, and the possible luminous mechanism of Mn⁴⁺ ion is explained by using energy level diagram of Mn⁴⁺ ion. CaAl_1.99O₄:1%Mn⁴⁺, CaAl_3.99O₇:1%Mn⁴⁺, and SrAl_1.99O₄:1%Mn⁴⁺ phosphors under excitation 325 nm light emit red light, and their CIE chromaticity coordinates are (0.7181, 0.2813), (0.7182, 0.2818), and (0.7198, 0.2801), respectively. These contents in the paper are helpful to develop novel and high-efficient Mn⁴⁺-doped phosphor for white LEDs.     

Electrical and thermal properties of polyimide/silica nanocomposite

The electrical and thermal properties of thin films of polyimide/silica nanocomposites prepared via sol–gel process were studied as a function of nanosilica particles content, temperature and applied field frequency. It was found that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the nanocomposites decrease with both the frequency and the nanosilica content, while increase with temperature. The AC-conductivity measured in frequency range 200?kHz–1.5?MHz decreases with the filler concentration and increases with increasing temperature. For the (25?wt%) nanocomposite, it was found that the AC-conductivity increases with temperature, and the Cole–Cole plots showed that the calculated activation energy and relaxation time decrease with temperature. The observed thermal conductivity increases gently with temperature. The empirical universal law was used to fit the observed electrical data under the measuring conditions.

Size and surface effects on magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanoparticles

In this study, size and surface effects on temperature and frequency dependent magnetic properties of superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles in a size range of 1.1-11 nm are investigated by SPR technique. We used a theoretical formalism based on a distribution of diameters or volumes of the nanoparticles following lognormal proposed by Berger et al. The nanoparticles are considered as single magnetic domains with random orientations of magnetic moments and thermal fluctuations of anisotropic axes. The individual line shape function is derived from the damped precession equation of Landau-Lifshitz. Magnetic properties of the samples were strongly temperature and size dependent. The increase in SPR line width, the decrease in the resonance field and also increase in anisotropy filed by decreasing the temperature core-shell type structure of the nanoparticles and disordered magnetic structure (spin-glass like phase) of the particle surface. A linear microwave frequency dependence of the resonance field and the increase in the blocking temperature of the particles by the particle size were also observed.
