We report on the synthesis and characterization of Ba3[Cu0.8−xZnxMn0.2]2Fe24O41 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) barium hexaferrites. The samples were prepared by high-energy ball-milling technique and double-sintering approach. The effects of Zn substitution for Cu on the structural and magnetic properties of the prepared samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). XRD patterns of the samples revealed the presence of a major Z-type hexaferrite phase, together with secondary M-type and Y-type phases. The magnetic results indicated that the saturation magnetization increased slightly with increasing the Zn content, while the coercivity and magnetocrystalline anisotropy field exhibited a decreasing tendency with the increase of Zn content. The thermomagnetic curves revealed the complex magnetic structure of the prepared samples and confirmed that the Curie temperature of the magnetic phases decreased with increasing x as a result of the reduction of the strength of the superexchange interactions.

In this study, ZnO–Fe2O3 nanocomposites were prepared by high-energy ball milling technique and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV–visible spectroscopy and dielectric spectroscopy. The amount of Fe2O3 in the ZnO–Fe2O3 nanocomposites was varied at the rates of 1[Formula: see text]wt.%, 3[Formula: see text]wt.% and 5[Formula: see text]wt.% in order to investigate its influence on the structural, optical and dielectric properties of the nanocomposites. XRD patterns of nanocomposites revealed no shift in peak positions and hence confirmed the formation of composites after ball milling. Further, it was observed from FESEM analysis that Fe2O3 particles were distributed randomly on the ZnO matrix of the nanocomposites. ZnO–Fe2O3 nanocomposites reveal extended optical absorption in the range of 400–600[Formula: see text]nm from UV studies. The dielectric constant and loss of the nanocomposites decrease exponentially with increase in frequency. The composition and frequency dependences of the dielectric constant, dielectric loss and AC conductivity are explained based on the Maxwell–Wagner effect and Koop’s theory.

The present investigation is focused on the electrode properties of various nanocrystalline Mg2Ni -based powders synthesized using high energy ball milling technique. The chemical composition was modified by the ternary (Nb) and quaternary ( Al and Nb ) additives. The process parameters were adjusted to achieve nanocrystalline based products. Characterization of the ternary and quaternary milled products using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed a composite microstructure of an amorphous core surrounded by nanocrystalline Mg2Ni . Electrode made from the quaternary milled product showed superior initial charge density and longer discharge duration.

The high energy ball milling of Ni-50 atom % Si elemental powder mixtures was carried out using a planetary mill. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phase evolutions during the high energy ball milling period. The microstructure morphology of the powders milled different time was determined by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The beginning time of mechanical alloying was determined by back scattered electrons (BSE) images. The XRD patterns showed that the nickel peaks intensity and the silicon peaks intensity obviously decreased with milling time increased to 1 hour. BSE images revealed that nickel and silicon powders were not blended uniformly for 1 hour of milling. It was found that NiSi formed as the milling time increased to 5 hours, simultaneously, the nickel peaks and the silicon peaks almost disappeared. That means the obvious mechanical alloying started from 5 hours of milling. BSE images agreed with the result analyzed from XRD patterns. With the milling time further increased from 10 to 75 hours, the NiSi peaks decreased gradually, at the same time, the Ni2Si peaks appeared and then increased gradually.

The present study is concerned with the fabrication and characterization of Me2Y substituted hexaferrites, Ba2Me2Fe12-xTxO22(Me = Co2+, Mg2+, and Cr2+, and T = Fe3+, and Ga3+). The samples were prepared by the conventional ball milling technique and sintering at 1200° C. The effect of the choices of Me and T ions on the structural and magnetic properties of the hexaferrites were investigated. XRD patterns, magnetic parameters, and Mössbauer spectra of the Co2Y were consistent with a single phase Y-type hexaferrite. However, the CoCr-Y sample was found to be dominated by the Y-type hexaferrite, and M-type and BaCrO4minority phases were observed in the XRD pattern of the sample. The small increase in saturation magnetization from about 34 emu/g up to 37.5 emu/g was therefore attributed to the development of the M-type phase. On the other hand, XRD pattern of the Cr2Y sample indicated the dominance of the M-type phase in this sample. The high coercivity (1445 Oe) of this sample is evidence of the transformation of the material from a typically soft magnetic material (Y-type) to a hard magnet (M-type). The Ga-substitution for Fe in Co2Y did not affect the saturation magnetization significantly, but the coercivity was reduced. However, the sample Ba2CoMgFe11GaO22exhibited a significant reduction of the saturation magnetization down to a value 26.6 emu/g, which could be due to the attenuation of the super-exchange interactions induced by the Mg2+substitution.

Nanocrystalline Ni0.36Zn0.64Fe2O4was synthesized by milling a powder mixture of Zn, NiO, and Fe2O3in a high-energy ball mill for 30 h under three different atmospheres of air, argon, and oxygen. After sintering the 30 h milled samples at 500°C, the XRD patterns suggested the formation of a single phase of Ni-Zn ferrite. The XRD results indicated the average crystallite sizes to be 15, 14, and 16 nm, respectively, for the 30 h milled samples in air, argon, and oxygen atmospheres sintered at 500°C. From the FeSEM micrographs, the average grain sizes of the mentioned samples were 83, 75, and 105 nm, respectively, which grew to 284, 243, and 302 nm after sintering to 900°C. A density of all the samples increased while a porosity decreased by elevating sintering temperature. The parallel evolution of changes in magnetic properties, due to microstructural variations with changes in the milling atmosphere and sintering temperature in the rage of 500–900°C with 100°C increments, is also studied in this work.

The Relationship

Pb (Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3, (PZT) powder has been synthesized using high energy ball milling technique. The synthesized powders were characterized using XRD, SEM, Density, Porosity and Impedance Analyzer. XRD patterns show that the perovskite phase of PZT can be formed from the mixture of starting material after milling for 40 h. The grain sizes of the powder have been estimated to be 1-3 μm. The relationship between the microstructure of the PZT samples and sintering temperature has been discussed. Dense PZT (> 95 % theoretical density) with excellent dielectric properties was obtained when the pellet are sintered at higher temperature with shorter soaking time. The results show that the sample sintered at 1100 °C /1 h yields a clearly uniform grain size with the highest dielectric constant.

This work discusses the fabrication and characterization of Pt-Co electrocatalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and electrocatalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction. Two sets of carbon supported catalysts with Pt:Co in the atomic ratio of 0.25:0.75 and 0.75:0.25 were prepared using a high-energy ball-milling technique. One of the Pt-Co electrocatalysts was subjected to lixiviation to examine the change in surface area. Microstructural characterization of the electrocatalysts was done using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffractometry, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electrochemical characterization of the electrocatalysts was done in acidic and alkaline media using cyclic voltammetry and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. These tests were performed at room and higher temperature (50°C). Performances of the electrocatalysts were also compared with the commercial E-TEK Pt:Co alloy electrocatalysts of the compositions 10% Pt-Co alloy (1:1 a/o) and 40% Pt-Co alloy (1:1 a/o) on Vulcan XC-72.
