Current Understanding of Structure–Processing–Property Relationships in BaTiO3–Bi(M)O3 Dielectrics

As part of a continued push for high permittivity dielectrics suitable for use at elevated operating temperatures and/or large electric fields, modifications of BaTiO₃ with Bi(M)O₃, where M represents a net‐trivalent B‐site occupied by one or more species, have received a great deal of recent attention. Materials in this composition family exhibit weakly coupled relaxor behavior that is not only remarkably stable at high temperatures and under large electric fields, but is also quite similar across various identities of M. Moderate levels of Bi content (as much as 50 mol%) appear to be crucial to the stability of the dielectric response. In addition, the presence of significant Bi reduces the processing temperatures required for densification and increases the required oxygen content in processing atmospheres relative to traditional X7R‐type BaTiO₃‐based dielectrics. Although detailed understanding of the structure–processing–property relationships in this class of materials is still in its infancy, this article reviews the current state of understanding of the mechanisms underlying the high and stable values of both relative permittivity and resistivity that are characteristic of BaTiO₃‐Bi(M)O₃ dielectrics as well as the processing challenges and opportunities associated with these materials.     

阀体流道孔清理的一种新方法

液压阀体及阀板零件中存在许多交叉孔道,为了能加工出交叉孔就从零件结构上增加了一些工艺孔,加工完毕后焊堵堵死,但是这给交叉孔道的清理增加了困难。在生产实际中,为了便于清理这些交叉孔道内的残留物,建议设计将焊堵的结构改成丝扣的结构,安装上调垫及内六角螺塞,再进行水压试验,保证安装紧密。

Pd/Ce-HMS介孔材料的结构和表面化学态

为了制备新型负载型Pd催化剂,采用合成后组装法和浸渍法室温合成了Pd/Ce-HMS介孔材料,产物用XRD、N2吸附、FTIR及XPS谱等手段进行表征。结果表明,Ce、Pd引入后六方介孔结构仍保持完好。产物的BET表面积为742.9 m2·g-1,孔容0.803 cm3·g-1,表面Pd、Ce物种主要以PdO2和CeO2形式存在。研究表明,Ce前驱体通过与孔表面富集的Si—OH基团作用而嵌入骨架或键合于孔表面,Pd担载时由于模板剂仍留在孔道中,因而没有造成孔道堵塞。

Systematic study of optoelectronic and transport properties of cesium lead halide (Cs2PbX6; X=Cl,Br, I) double perovskites for solar cell applications

A systematic density functional theory investigation of Cs₂PbX₆ (X = Cl, Br, I) double perovskites is presented. The lattice constants are computed after structure optimization and using Birch-Murnaghan equations, which agree to the experimental literature. The mechanical stability conditions satisfy Born criteria, and the ductile nature is evidenced by the calculated Poisson's (v) and Pugh's ratios (B₀/G) because all three double perovskites exhibit values higher than the respective critical values v = 0.26 and B₀/G = 1.75. A detailed study of the optoelectronic properties reveals these double perovskites as promising candidates for future optical devices due to their direct band gaps (within 0.45–2.54 eV) and large absorption coefficients 5.95 × 10⁵ cm⁻¹, which are suitable for solar cell applications. ZT calculations demonstrate minute variations within 200–800 K and computed parameter values are quite favorable for thermoelectric applications of these materials in the future. A p-type semiconducting nature is predicted by the computed thermoelectric properties. Additionally, computed refractive indices show Cs₂PbBr₆ and Cs₂PbI₆ exhibiting super-luminescent properties in the UV range. Therefore, the studied double perovskites provide further interest for future energy conversion and photonic based technologies.     

Observation of oxygen pyramid tilting induced polarization rotation in strained BiFeO3 thin film

Oxygen octahedral tilting has been recognized to strongly interact with spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom in perovskite oxides. Here, we observe a strain-driven stripe-like morphology of two supertetragonal (monoclinic Cc and Cm ) phases in the strained BiFeO₃/LaAlO₃ thin films. The two supertetragonal phases have a similar giant axial ratio but differences in oxygen pyramid tilting mode. Especially, the competition between polar instability and oxygen pyramid tilting is identified using atomically resolved scanning transmission electron microscopy, leading to the polarization rotation across the phase boundary. In addition, microtwins are observed in the Cc phase. Our findings provide new insights of the coupling between ferroelectric polarization and oxygen pyramid tilting in oxide thin films and will help to design novel phase morphology with desirable ferroelectric polarization and properties for new applications in perovskite oxides.     

Influence of Nb5+ ions on phase transitions and polar disorder above TC in PbZrO3 studied by Raman spectroscopy

Micro-Raman light scattering experiments on PbZrO₃ (PZO) single crystal doped with Nb⁵⁺ have been investigated. Special attention was paid to the paraelectric (PE) phase in which nominally forbidden first-order Raman spectra were detected at temperatures far above the phase transition T_C. Complex Raman spectra were observed in the vicinity of three structural phase transitions. These results mainly from the coexistence of phases with different symmetries in a wide temperature range below T_C. The Raman measurements have been compared with dielectric and optical observations and proved that polar nanoregions in a centrosymmetric lattice appear well above T_C. It was shown that doping ABO₃ perovskites with heterovalent ions like Nb⁵⁺ unbalances charge neutrality of the lattice and strongly extends the temperature range of polar regions. The investigations performed point out that in the PE matrix the interaction between electrons and lattice vibrations, as recently suggested for pure PZO, plays an important role.
