Perovskite Type

The three-dimensional atomic-scale structure around Mg , Nb , Ti and Zr atoms in a series ferroelectric material such as PMN, PZT, PMN-PZT and PMN-PT has been studied using X-ray diffraction ( MoK α), Rietveld refinement and the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) technique. The structure and particle size of the powders was determined by X-ray diffraction and TEM observation. The studies show that the materials are disordered at nanometer length distances. The three-dimensional atomic ordering in PMN-based nanopowders may well be described by a cubic structure of the perovskite type, similar to that occurring in the bulk crystals. At the end, the analyzed data show that the sizes of ZrO 6 octahedral are larger than TiO 6 octahedral.

The materials from Fe-Co-B-Si-Nb system have several interesting and useful properties such as high mechanical strength, abrasive and corrosion resistance and good electrical properties useful in many applications, for example: materials for sensors and precise current transformers. The aim of the presented work was to obtain Fe-based alloy in an amorphous state and examination atoms arrangement in its structure which has an influence on material properties. Multicomponent alloy with nominal composition of Fe37.44Co34.56B19.2Si4.8Nb4 was obtained by pressure die casting method in form of plate with thickness of d=1mm. The structure of rapidly solidified plate was examined by X-ray diffraction. This investigation revealed that the studied sample was amorphous. Based on experimental X-ray data the pair distribution function was calculated and discussion on possible atoms arrangement was carried out.

This work reports the setting up of the X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy beamline at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory for performing total scattering experiments to be analyzed by atomic pair distribution function (PDF) studies. The results of a PDF refinement for Al2O3standard are presented and compared with data acquired at a beamline of the Advanced Photon Source, where it is common to perform this type of experiment. A preliminary characterization of the Pb1–xLaxZr0.40Ti0.60O3ferroelectric system, withx= 0.11, 0.12 and 0.15, is also shown.
