Sol Gel Synthesis

ABSTRACTAn all-alkoxide sol-gel process utilizing methoxyethoxide complexes in 2-methoxyethanol was used to prepare epitaxial films of SrBi2Nb2O9, SrBi2Ta2O9, BaBi2Nb2O9, BaBi2Ta2O9, and Bi4Ti3O12 on [100] oriented SrTiO3 single crystals. Films were prepared by spin coating strontium titanate substrates with partially hydrolyzed alkoxide solutions and firing in air at 850 °C for 20 minutes. Out-of-plane orientation was confirmed by θ-2θ scans which showed only [002ℓ] reflections. In-plane orientation was determined by pole figures and phi-scans about the [105] plane in the case of the (Sr,Ba)Bi2(Nb,Ta)2O9 complexes and the [117] plane in the case of Bi4Ti3O12. Lattice constants and full-width at half-maximum (fwhm) values for both in-plane and out-of-plane reflections are reported.

AbstractEpitaxial films of lanthanum gallate, praseodymium gallate, and neodymium gallate were prepared on [100] strontium titanate and [100] lanthanum aluminate single crystal substrates using solution techniques. The solutions employed were mixed-metal methoxyethoxides in 2-methoxyethanol. Films were prepared by spin-coating with a partially hydrolyzed solution, followed by firing at 850 °C for 20 minutes in air. Theta/2-theta scans revealed only [h00] reflections and omega scans (rocking curves) indicated good out-of-plane orientation. Pole figures and phi scans revealed good in-plane orientation and a [100] || [100] epitaxial relationship between the film and the substrate.

Hydrolysis Of

A LaAlO3 precursor solution was prepared via an all alkoxide sol-gel route. The solution of lanthanum methoxyethoxide and aluminum methoxyethoxide in 2-methoxyethanol was prepared via ligand exchange starting from lanthanum isopropoxide and aluminum sec-butoxide and was used to make both LaAlO3 powders and films. Complete hydrolysis of the solution formed a gel that yielded well-crystallized LaAlO3 powders when fired in air at 800 °C. A partially hydrolyzed solution was spun-cast on SrTiO3 (100) single crystal substrates. Epitaxial films of LaAlO3 were subsequently formed during pyrolysis in O2 at 800 °C in a rapid thermal annealing furnace for a total of 8 min. The films were strongly c-axis oriented, verified by x-ray rocking curve results from the (003) plane with full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) = 0.87°, and had good in-plane texture shown by a φ scan of the (202) plane with FWHM = 1.07°.

Initial Results

ABSTRACTNd substituted bismuth titanate Bi4-xNdxTi3O12 were synthesized by sol-gel process and thin films were deposited on Pt substrate (Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si) by spin coating. Thin films, characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, shows complete solid solution up to the composition x < 1. Initial results indicate that the ferroelectric polarization increases with increasing Nd content in the film with 2Pr = 50μC/cm2 for x = 0.46, which may have application in non-volatile ferroelectric memory devices.

Sol Gel Process

Strontium substituted hydroxyapatite(SrHAp) were fabricated both in the form of powder as reference and thin film by using inorganic precursor reaction. The sol-gel process has been used for the deposition of SrHAp layer on stainless steal 316L substrate by spin coating technique, after that the films were annealed in air at various temperatures. The chemical composition of SrHAp is represented (SrxCa1-x)5(PO4)3OH, where x is equal to 0, 0.5 and 1.0. Investigations of the phase structure of SrHAp were carried out by using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The results showed that strontium is incorporated into hydroxyapatite where its substitution for calcium increases in the lattice parameters, and Sr3(PO4)2 can be detected at 900°C. The SEM micrographs showed that SrHAp films exhibited porous structure before develop to a cross-linking structure.

ABSTRACTThere is an increasing interest in sol-gel synthesis of nitrides. The ability to deposit films of these materials by dip- or spin-coating will increase the range of applications in which they are viable and is an important step toward general sol-gel processing of nitride materials.With transition metals, the ammono based analogue of the well established alkoxy route to gels is inherently difficult to control. Due to the basicity of the system, the overwhelming tendency is of the starting materials to favour particle growth which results in a precipitate rather than a stable emulsion, unless both environment and synthetic pathway are carefully controlled. Hence reports to date of sol-gel routes to nitrides describe production of powders. We report work on a sol-gel route to titanium nitride with the ammonolysis of titanium amides controlled by temperature and chemical moderators, resulting in stable emulsions useful for dip-coating.

ABSTRACTCubic rare-earth aluminate perovskites of the general form REAIO3 have been identified as possible buffer layers for high current carrying cuprate superconductors deposited on roll-textured metals. This paper describes on-going research to develop solution routes which would avoid the use of slow and costly vacuum processing. Our research plan includes the development of an appropriate solution chemistry, studies of the crystallization behavior of powders under reducing and oxidizing conditions, deposition of polycrystalline films on silver substrates, deposition of epitaxial films on single-crystal oxide substrates, and deposition on roll textured nickel. The method is illustrated with the example of PrAlO3.

Lead iron niobate Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 (PFN) ceramics were prepared using sol-gel synthesis by mixing acetates Pb and Fe with Nb-ethylene glycol-tartarate (Pechini) complex at 80°C, calcination of gels at 600°C and sintering at 1150°C for various times. The metastable pyrochlore phase Pb3Nb4O13 in stoichiometric precursor was partially decomposed to perovskite phase Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 in ceramics sintered at temperature of 1150°C for 2, 4 and 6 hours. Excess of Pb in molar ratio (Pb:Fe:Nb = 1.2:0.5:0.5) caused the increase of the content of the perovskite phase (~50 vol.%) in nonstoichiometric PFN ceramics sintered at 1150°C for 6 hours while the decrease in perovskite phase content was found in stoichiometric PFN ceramics (~16 vol.%). In microstructures of PFN ceramics sintered at 1150°C for different times, the bimodal grain size distribution was observed with small spherical grains of perovskite phase and larger octahedral grains of pyrochlore phase. EDX analysis confirm that complex types of pyrochlore phases that differ in iron content were present in ceramics.
