In this study, we present some results on the structure and properties of the solid solution of Bi0.5K0.5TiO3– BiFeCoO3 (BKT – BFCO) by Sol-gel method. Crystal structures of BKT – BFCO solid solutions were studies by XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The results were in good agreement with the previous reports of Bi0.5K0.5TiO3– BiFeO3 (BKT – BFO) and Bi0.5K0.5TiO3 – BiCoO3 (BKT – BCO) solid solutions. The magnetic properties were investigated via unsaturated M-H loop, which showed the competition of paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering in BKT – BFCO. However, differing from the BKT – BFO and BKT – BCO solid solutions, the unclear values of saturated magnetism in BKT – BFCO raised the unexplained question, which needed further studies.

Five samples of solid solutions GdRuxCd1−x extending up to x ≈ 0.25 were synthesized by induction-melting of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes. According to X-ray powder diffraction data, the GdRuxCd1−x samples crystallize with the cubic CsCl structure. The structures of two crystals were refined from diffractometer data: Pm3̄m, a = 372.41(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0363, 45 F2, 5 variables for GdRu0.10(1)Cd0.90(1) and a = 367.70(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0301, 39 F2, 5 variables for GdRu0.20(1)Cd0.80(1). The cadmium-ruthenium substitution has a drastic effect on the magnetic properties. All samples order ferromagnetically, however, the Curie temperature decreases drastically from 258 K for GdCd to 63.6 K for GdRu0.20Cd0.80 with a Vegard-type behavior.

Investigation of crystal structure, dielectric, magnetic and local ferroelectric properties of the diamagnetically substituted (1-x)BiFeO3-xBi (Ti0.5Ni0.5)O3solid solutions samples have been carried out. The solid solutions have been found to possess a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure described by the space group R3c. Compared with pure BiFeO3compound, both ferroelectric and magnetic properties are much improved by solid solution with Bi (Ti0.5Ni0.5)O3with saturation hysteresis loops observed. Among all the samples, thex=0.1 samples shows the optimal ferromagnetism with Mr~0.56531emμ/g and the optimal ferroelectricity with Pr~5.767μC/cm2 at room temperature.

AbstractThe isothermal section of the Tm–Ni–In system at T = 870 K was constructed. Nine ternary compounds: Tm10Ni9In20, TmNi1–0.60In1–1.40, Tm2Ni2In, Tm2Ni1.78In, Tm5Ni2In4, Tm11Ni4In9, Tm4.83Ni2In1.17, Tm6Ni2In and Tm14Ni3In3 exist in the system at the temperature of investigation. Solid solutions with In/Ni and Tm/In mixing were noticed for numerous compounds. A broad substitution of Ni for In was observed for TmNi1–0.60In1–1.40, and of Tm for In for the TmNi2–TmNi4In section. An interstitial solid solution TmxNiIn, based on binary equiatomic NiIn, extends up to 8 at.% Tm (x = 0.17). The magnetic properties of TmNiIn, Tm2Ni2In and Tm5Ni2In4 are also reviewed.

Abstract Magnetic susceptibility and EPR of iron-containing solid solutions with layered perovskite-like structure Bi2BaNb2-2xFe2xO9-δ and Bi5Nb3-3xFe3xO15-δ have been studied. The solid solutions Bi2BaNb2-2xFe2xO9-δ as well as iron oxides FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4 were studied by the NEXAFS spectroscopy. The formation of exchange-bound aggregates of Fe(III) atoms with antiferroand ferromagnetic exchange types has been found in the solid solutions. In the ESR spectra of the solid solution samples, the lines with g ≈ 2.0 and g = 4.27 having a weak shoulder at g ~ 8 were attributed to Fe(III) atoms in the octahedral field with strong rhombic distortion.

CeO2-based solid solutions in which Pd partially substitutes for Ce attract considerable attention, owing to their high catalytic performances. In this study, the solid solution (Ce1−xPdxO2−δ) with a high Pd content (x ~ 0.2) was synthesized through co-precipitation under oxidative conditions using molten nitrate, and its structure and thermal decomposition were examined. The characteristics of the solid solution, such as the change in a lattice constant, inhibition of sintering, and ionic states, were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM−EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)−EDS, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The synthesis method proposed in this study appears suitable for the easy preparation of CeO2 solid solutions with a high Pd content.

ABSTRACT Turquoise, CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O, belongs to the turquoise group, which consists of turquoise, chalcosiderite, aheylite, faustite, planerite, and UM1981-32-PO:FeH. In order to study turquoise-group solid solutions in samples from the Neyshabour and Meydook mines, 17 samples were selected and investigated using electron probe microanalysis. In addition, their major elements were compared in order to evaluate the feasibility of distinguishing the provenance of Persian turquoises. The electron microprobe data show that the studied samples are not constituted of pure turquoise (or any other pure endmember) and belong, from the chemical point of view, to turquoise-group solid solutions. In a turquoise–planerite–chalcosiderite–unknown mineral quaternary solid solution diagram, the chemical compositions of the analyzed samples lie along the turquoise–planerite line with minor involvement of chalcosiderite and the unknown mineral. Among light blue samples with varying hues and saturations from both studied areas, planerite is more abundant among samples from Meydook compared with samples from Neyshabour. Nevertheless, not all the light blue samples are planerite. This study demonstrates that distinguishing the deposit of origin for isochromatic blue and green turquoises, based on electron probe microanalysis method and constitutive major elements, is not possible.
