Synthesis and characterization of Y and Sm doped Mg nanoferrites

ABSTRACT

Magnesium nano ferrite substituted with Yttrium and Samarium is synthesized by Sol Gel Auto Combustion method by optimising the sintering temperature and its duration to achieve pure Spinel Phase without any impurity. Particle size obtained from XRD and TEM are in close agreement with each other. Saturation magnetization of Mg-nanoferrite is moderate at room temperature which decreases by substitution of Y &Sm. Magnetic results are further authenticated by Mössbauer Spectroscopic analysis. Experimental results are explained on the basis of existing theories and Models. Magnesium ferrite (substituted with Y &Sm) is chosen because of its potential application in biomedical fields e.g, hyperthermia treatment, drug delivery and even for antibacterial activity.     

Effect of synthetic conditions on particle size and photo-luminescence properties of Y2O3:Eu3+ nanophosphor

In this paper, effect of synthetic conditions on the particle size, crystal structure, and the photoluminescence properties of the Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ nanophosphor was investigated. Solvent and dispersing agent were determined as the synthetic parameters. The nanophosphor synthesized from methanol solvent showed the smaller particle size of 4 nm. The XRD analysis indicates that the crystal structure of the Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ nanophosphor is mainly cubic crystal with orientation of (222), (440), (400), and small peak of (511) indicating monoclinic crystal. The Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ nanophosphor synthesized by using methanol solvent and 0.1 wt.% hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) as a dispersing agent showed higher degree of crystallization of 10.5 of I ₍₂₂₂₎/I ₍₅₁₁₎ ratio than that without HPC. Also, the photoluminescence properties of the nanophosphor showed red color that excitation and emission wavelengths of the nanophosphor were 250 and 611 nm, respectively. Using the 250 nm UV source, the highly intensive photoluminescence peak could be achieved at 611 nm under the synthetic condition of methanol solvent adding 0.1 wt.% HPC.     

Photoluminescence properties of Y2O3co-doped with Eu and Bi compounds as red-emitting phosphor for white LED

Bismuth doped Y₂O₃: Eu was used as a red phosphor with a very high efficiency and an appropriate emission wavelength of around 310–400 nm. This red phosphor was synthesized by the solid state reaction which is normally used in the field of white LEDs. In this study, we synthesized Y₂O₃: Eu, Bi phosphors using a solid state reaction. We investigated the effect of the Eu^{3 +} and Bi^{3 +} concentrations and additive fluxes on the emission characteristics. The fabricated phosphors were investigated by analyzing their particle size and crystal structure with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Their photoluminescence (PL) spectra were also measured at room temperature.

Sintering and dielectric properties of Al2O3 ceramics doped by TiO2 and CuO

The effects of CuO and TiO₂ additives on the microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Al₂O₃ ceramics were investigated. Al₂O₃ ceramics with CuO and TiO₂ additions can be well sintered to achieve 93∼98% theoretical densities below 1,360 °C due to Ti₄Cu₂O liquid phase sintering effect. The Qf values decreased with increasing CuO and TiO₂ content, due to the formation of the second phase Ti₄Cu₂O. However, the varying behaviors of the dielectric constant (ɛ _r ) and temperature coefficients (τ _f ) were associated with phase constitutions, as a result of the change of CuO and TiO₂content. The τ _f can be shifted close to 0 ppm/°C by controlling the content of CuO and TiO₂. The specimens with 0.5 wt.% CuO and 7 wt.% TiO₂ sintered at 1,360 °C for 4 h showed ɛ _r of 11.8, Qf value of 30,000 GHz, and τ _f of −7 ppm/°C.

Mechanoluminescence of Ca2MgSi2O7: Eu2+, Dy3+ Phosphor by Impulsive Deformation

Di-calcium magnesium silicate phosphor doped with Eu²⁺ and Dy³⁺ was prepared using solid state reaction technique under a reducing atmosphere. Prepared sample suffered an impulsive deformation with an impact of a piston for mechanoluminescence (ML) investigations. A temporal characteristic of ML of the phosphor was observed, which expressed single sharp peak with a long decaying section. In order to investigate about the luminescence centre responsible for ML peak, ML spectrum of the same phosphor was also observed. ML spectrum recorded shown similarity in shape as well as peak wavelength with Photoluminescence (PL) spectrum that verifies the existence of single emission centre due to the transition of Eu²⁺ ions i.e. transitions from any of the sublevels of 4f⁶5d¹ configuration to ⁸S_7/2 level of the 4f⁷ configuration. Decay rates for different impact velocities were also calculated using curve fitting technique. Time of ML peak and rate of decay did not change largely with respect to increasing impact velocity of the load and peak ML intensity varied linearly. Increasing impact velocity causes more number of Eu²⁺ ions to get excited to the higher energy level, subsequently de-excitation of more Eu²⁺ ions occurs. This gives rise to increase in ML intensity.

Photoluminescence properties of a green to red-emitting Eu3+, Tb3+ co-doped CaBi2Ta2O9 ferroelectrics

The CaBi₂Ta₂O₉ bismuth layered-structure ferroelectrics doped with rare earth ions Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺, or co-doped with Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The microstructure and photoluminescence properties of CaBi₂Ta₂O₉: Eu³⁺, CaBi₂Ta₂O₉: Tb³⁺ and CaBi₂Ta₂O₉: Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ were investigated. The XRD patterns demonstrate that the rare earth ions have been effectively doped into CaBi₂Ta₂O₉ host lattices. The photoluminescence properties of CaBi₂Ta₂O₉ with different activator ions are researched in details. The novel red and green light emissions were observed under the excitation of blue and near-UV light. Notably, tunable emissions and a warm-white color have been achieved in the Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-doped CaBi₂Ta₂O₉ powders. These results suggest that CaBi₂Ta₂O₉: Eu³⁺, CaBi₂Ta₂O₉: Tb³⁺ and CaBi₂Ta₂O₉: Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ could be novel luminescence materials. It is also expected that rare earth doped CaBi₂Ta₂O₉ ferroelectrics can find potential applications in new multifunctional photoluminescence ferroelectric devices.     

High piezoelectric actuation response in graded Nd2O3 and ZrO2 doped BaTiO3 structures

High electromechanical strains have been developed in this study in Barium Titanate ceramics, suitably doped with Nd and Zr to form a controlled concentration gradient, leading to a dome-like structure on sintering. Compacted pellets constituted of layers of barium titanate powder of varying minor amounts of Nd and Zr powders, incorporated as nitrates precursors, acquire this dome shape on sintering at 1300?C1320^oC and cooling to the ambient temperature, the result of the residual thermoelastic strain. The dome structures exhibit high electromechanical responses, and the piezoelectric coefficients (deduced from electric field induced strains measurements in dome-up and dome-down positions) are also found to be exceptionally high. These Nd and Zr doped barium titanate structures could find applications as an environmentally benign material for fabrication of high displacement functionally graded electromechanical actuators in a single sintering step process.     

Structure and physical properties of Eu0.8Y0.2MnO3 ceramics

This work is addressed to study the crystal structure and morphology, as well as the thermodynamic, dielectric and magnetic properties of Eu_0.8Y_0.2MnO₃ ceramics, synthesized by urea sol-gel combustion method. The experimental results were systematically compared with data available for the corresponding single crystals. Though the effect of the anisotropy on both dielectric and magnetic properties is missing, they enabled us to investigate the main physical mechanisms associated with their magnetoelectric properties, in particular the one which drives the ferroelectric phase. The phase sequence and critical temperatures are in good agreement with the corresponding values reported for single crystals. Similarly, structural results evidence strong distortions of the crystal lattice, enhancing the ferromagnetic interactions over the antiferomagnetic ones. A significant contribution of the magnetic fluctuations above T_N was also evidenced from the magnetization studies.

Obtained results have shown that the introduction of Li decreases electric conductivity and improves dielectric and electromechanical parameters important for applications.

Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Eu3+ Doped Sr2SiO4 Phosphor

Abstract

The europium doped Sr₂SiO₄ phosphors were prepared by the combustion synthesis technique. The prepared samples of europium doped Sr₂SiO₄ phosphors were characterized by the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet Visible spectroscopy (UV), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectra (EDS) and Photoluminescence Technique (PL). The orthorhombic crystal structure of the prepared sample was confirmed by using XRD. The formation of fiber like nano structured nature was confirmed by the images captured using the FE-SEM technique. The band gap energies were calculated using the UV-Visible spectra of the samples and these band gap energies were observed as 4.5826?eV for Sr₂SiO₄ and 4.1748?eV for Eu (5?m%) doped Sr₂SiO₄. The two different PL emission peaks were observed for two different excitation wavelengths. One peak was observed at the 590?nm under 393?nm excitation and another peak was observed at the 615?nm under 408?nm excitation. The CIE color coordinates of the Eu³⁺ doped Sr₂SiO₄ phosphors are x?≈?0.6615, y?≈?0.3382 (red color) observed for 408?nm excitation and x?≈?0.5636, y?≈?0.4356 (orange) observed for 393?nm excitation calculated using the color calculator program radiant imaging.     

Electrical properties of Pb0.98Eu0.02(ZryTi1−y)0.995O3 prepared by sol–gel processing

A Pb_0.98Eu_0.02(Zr_yTi_1−y )_0.995O₃ compound series, with y = 0.60, 0.53 and 0.45 was prepared. PZT samples were synthesized by sol–gel technique. The crystallization and quality of the compounds were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The shape of the ε′(ω) vs T curves can be considered typical of a ferro-paraelectric transition. The ferro-paraelectric transition temperature for each composition was 348, 328 and 307°C, for the y = 0.45, 0.53 and 0.60, respectively. σ′(ω) is strongly influenced by short range processes. For the logσ′(ω) curves as function of temperature, there is evidence of a non dispersive dc-conductivity component for the high temperature region. The associated dc-activation energies are larger than those calculated for the ac region (at lower temperatures).
