Studies on the structural and ionic transport properties at elevated temperatures of La1−xMnO3±δ synthesized by a wet chemical method

Structural transformation and ionic transport properties are investigated on wet-chemically synthesized La_1−xMnO₃ (x=0.0–0.18) compositions. Powders annealed in oxygen/air at 1000–1080 K exhibit cubic symmetry and transform to rhombohedral on annealing at 1173–1573 K in air/oxygen. Annealing above 1773 K in air or in argon/helium at 1473 K stabilized distorted rhombohedral or orthorhombic symmetry. Structural transformations are confirmed from XRD and TEM studies. The total conductivity of sintered disks, measured by four-probe technique, ranges from 5 S cm⁻¹ at 298 K to 105 S cm⁻¹ at 1273 K. The ionic conductivity measured by blocking electrode technique ranges from 1.0×10⁻⁶ S cm⁻¹ at 700 K to 2.0×10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ at 1273 K. The ionic transference number of these compositions ranges from 3.0×10⁻⁵ to 5.0×10⁻⁵ at 1273 K. The activation energy deduced from experimental data for ionic conduction and ionic migration is 1.03–1.10 and 0.80–1.00 eV, respectively. The activation energy of formation, association and migration of vacancies ranges from 1.07 to 1.44 eV.

Control of polymerization processes of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid LB films

Studies have been carried out on KrF excimer laser light (EX), X-ray or electron beam (EB) induced polymerization of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PDA) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films in relation to molecular density or molecular arrangement of the films using X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The molecular arrangement or density of the PDA LB films was controlled by subphase conditions when the films were built up, such as pH, temperature of a subphase or salt concentration in the subphase. Polymerization sensitivity of the PDA LB film was affected by the arrangement or molecular density. On low density (A type) films the polymerization occurred by irradiation with EX, X-ray or EB, but on high density (B type) films the polymerization occurred only when the irradiation was carried out by high energy beams such as X-ray or EB. Decomposition of polymerized films was observed further by excessive irradiation of EX or X-ray, but not on the B type films. It was revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis that in the A type film, the PDA molecules bent to a larger extent than those in the B type film and the polymerization proceeded topochemically, that is, the thickness decreased little after EB irradiation in a helium atmosphere. On the other hand, in the B type film, the thickness decreased by about 10% as a result of EB irradiation. By IR reflection-absorption (RA) and Raman measurements, it was confirmed that conjugated diacetylenic bonds disappeared and conjugated double and new conjugated triple bonds appeared after high energy beam irradiations. These results support the supposition that 1,4-polymerization, i.e. polydiacetylene type polymerization, occurs easily in the A type film and 1,2- or 3,4-polymerization, i.e. polyacetylene type polymerization, occurs in the B type film, and that the polymerized A type film was decomposed at the polydiacetylenic bond when the irradiation continued further. It was also shown that the polyacetylene type polymer was obtained only when the B type film was irradiated with the high energy beam.

Advances in ALCHEMI analysis

The ALCHEMI method for locating the sites of foreign atoms within crystals is known to be sensitive to the delocalized emission of X-rays. This can result in large errors in some cases through differences in delocalization for different excitations or by error amplification in the ratio method of analysis. An alternative approach to the analysis of ALCHEMI data, using multivariate statistical analysis, is extended to the case of multiple impurities. Initial results from zone-axis channelling experiments for a Yb-doped zirconolite (CaZrTi₂O₇) are shown to confirm the improved accuracy of this method, especially for axial orientations. Data were collected using a 400-keV analytical electron microscope fitted with an intrinsic Ge X-ray detector. The potential advantages for ALCHEMI analysis of Ge detectors are considered.

Kinetic investigation of the carbothermal reduction of an Iranian clay

The kinetics of the carbothermal reduction of clay under argon atmosphere has been investigated by the X-ray diffraction method. The clay-carbon (excess) mixture was formed into 2 cm diameter disks of different thicknesses. Experimental data evidences the significant effect of sample thickness on the reaction rate at 1400 °C. Decreasing thickness promotes mullite dissociation and formation of SiC and alumina powders. Mathematical modeling of the reaction system showed the gas diffusion in the Knudsen regime through the pellet to be the rate controlling step. Diffusivity of CO and reacted core tortuosity factor have been calculated.
