Semiconductor Zn-Mn-O crystallites were synthesized by a solid state reaction method starting from the thermal decomposition of the appropriate oxalates. Samples were thermally treated in air at temperatures ranging from 400 to 900?C. The nominal concentrations of manganese werex = 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.10. The samples were investigated by the X-ray powder diffraction method, magnetization measurements and by electron paramagnetic resonance. X-ray diffractgrams show a dominant wurtzite structure of Zn-Mn-O. Room temperature ferromagnetism was observed in Zn-Mn-O samples with manganese concentrations x ? 0.04, thermally treated at low temperature (500?C). The saturation magnetiza?tion for the sample with x = 0.01 was 0.05 ?B/Mn. The room temperature ferromagnetism seems to be due to the diffusion of Zn into the Mn-oxides grains.

SrBi1.8Ce0.2Nb2O9 (SBCN) and SrBi1.8Ce0.2Ta2O9 (SBCT) powders were prepared via solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the SBCN and SBCT powders have the single phase orthorhom-bic Aurivillius structure at room temperature. The contribution of Raman scattering and FTIR spectroscopy of these samples were relatively smooth and resemble each other. The calcined powders were uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1250?C for 8 h to obtaine dense ceramics. Dielectric constant, loss tangent and AC conductivity of the sintered Ce-doped SrBi2Nb2O9 and SrBi2Ta2O9 ceramics were measured by LCR meter. The Ce-doped SBN (SBCN) ceramics have a higher Curie temperature (TC) and dielectric constant at TC (380?C and ?? ~3510) compared to the Ce-doped SBT (SBCT) ceramics (330?C and ?? ~115) when measured at 100Hz. However, the Ce-doped SBT (SBCT) ceramics have lower conductivity and dielectric loss.

Zn-Mn-O semiconductor crystallites with nominal manganese concentration x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.10 were synthesized by a solid state reaction route using oxalate precursors. Thermal treatment procedure was carried out in air at different temperatures in the range 400 - 900°C. The samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and electron paramagnetic resonance. X-ray analysis reveals that dominant crystal phase in the Zn-Mn-O system corresponds to the wurtzite structure of ZnO. Room temperature ferromagnetism is observed in the Zn-Mn-O samples with lower manganese concentration, x ≤ 0.04, thermally treated at low temperature (500°C). Saturation magnetization in the sample with x = 0.01 is found to be 0.05 μB/Mn. The ferromagnetic phase seems to be developed by Zn diffusion into Mn-oxide grains.

<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>LaFeO<sub>3</sub> system with doped Ti, Co, Cu was manufactured by solid state reaction method, it was sintered at 1250<sup>0</sup>C and 1290<sup>0</sup>C in 10 hours with a heating rate of 3<sup>0</sup>C/min. Using X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to examine the structure, it reveals that samples are single-phase and orthogonal-perovskite structure describing by the Pnma space group, the unit cell volume of the samples increases when Ti, Co, Cu are doped to replace ion Fe<sup>+3</sup>. The size of particle increase while raising the temperature of sintering. Measuring the resistance which depends on temperature between the room temperature and 1000K, it can be seen that when doping Co, Cu with the nominal component La(Fe<sub>0,2</sub>Co<sub>0,2</sub>Ti<sub>0,6</sub>)O<sub>3</sub> and La(Fe<sub>0,4</sub>Cu<sub>0,1</sub>Ti<sub>0,5</sub>)O<sub>3 </sub>, the conductivity of samples increases respectively. Especially, the conductivity of Cu doped sample is higher than two other samples, and reach the highest conductivity at about 900<sup>0</sup>C, Seebeck coefficient S of La(Fe<sub>0.6</sub>Ti<sub>0.4</sub>)O<sub>3</sub> can be change from positive to negative at the temperature of around 700<sup>0</sup>C.</p>

Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements have been made for two perpendicular planes in a LiYF4 crystal before and after x-ray irradiation at room temperature. Analysis of the EPR spectrum angular dependence shows the presence of two defects - an impurity ion, which was embedded during the crystal growth process, and an x-ray induced defect with the g-factor of approx. 2.0. Spectral parameters and possible defect models are discussed.

Two new P-stabilized boryl radicals [Ph2P(naph)BAr] (Ar = Tip and Ter) have been prepared and characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. These radicals are persistent for several days in solution at room temperature. The high steric congestion at boron does not prevent radical reactivity. Two different types of dimerization equilibrium have been observed. The structures of the dimers have been unambiguously established by X-ray diffraction crystallography.

ZnS:Mn2+ phosphors were synthesized by a modified solid-state reaction method. In the synthesis method, a sealed vessel is used, where heat and pressure are simultaneously utilized. The effects of various synthesis conditions such as temperature, Mn concentration, and pressure on the cathodoluminescence (CL) were investigated. Among them, pressure had an effect on CL property as much as others. It was observed that CL intensities of ZnS:Mn2+ phosphors increased with the increase of pressure and the best sample showed higher intensity than that of a commercial one by 180%. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron paramagnetic-resonance (EPR) were used to understand the enhancement. No change of XRD patterns was observed but the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the most intense cubic (111) peak of ZnS:Mn2+ decreased with the increase of pressure. EPR signal intensity of Mn2+ increased with the increase of pressure. The improved crystallinity and more substitution of Zn2+ with Mn metal were believed to be responsible for the enhancement.

Various high-Tc superconductors of the La–(Ba,Sr)–Cu–O and the M–Ba–Cu–O systems with M = Y, Er, and Eu have been prepared by the solid-state reaction method. Single-phase samples with no additional diffraction peaks as verified by x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements have been obtained. Measurements of the electrical resistivity and of the magnetization showed sharp superconducting transitions with a width of 1 K. The measurements of the magnetic susceptibility have been extended above room temperature up to 770 K. There is clear evidence for the formation of a magnetic moment in all M–Ba–Cu–O samples. Monochromated x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (MXPS) valence band and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) core level spectra have been measured on various samples at room temperature and at liquid nitrogen temperature.

AbstractCadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) is an emerging material for room-temperature x-ray and gamma ray detectors. The identification and control of point defects and charge compensators are currently important issues. Low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies have been used to characterize point defects in CdZnTe crystals grown by the high-pressure Bridgman technique. Luminescence due to shallow donors, shallow acceptors, and deeper acceptors was monitored for a series of samples. An isotropic EPR signal attributed to shallow hydrogenic donors is observed in all samples, and the concentration of shallow donors has been determined. The nature of the defect centers (impurities, vacancies, vacancy-impurity complexes), and the correlation between defect concentration and device performance is discussed.

We report a study of a low T c phase of the bismuth superconductor. A nominally Bi 4 Sr 2.5 Ca 2.5 Cu 4 O x compound was produced by the solid state reaction method with a T c = 80 K . X-ray diffraction studies show that the structure is very similar to the structure of the 4:3:3:4 composition with indications of small amounts of other phases. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy gives a strong Cu 2+ signal at temperatures above T c . We make a comparison between the local symmetry of the Cu 2+ ion complexes in this Bi sample and in the Y–Ba–Cu–O superconductor we had studied before.

The manganite oxides, YMnO 3 and ErMnO 3 having hexagonal structures were prepared by the solid state reaction method. After characterizing these materials by studying their various physical properties such as lattice parameters, X-ray density, bulk density etc., ultrasonic velocity measurements were carried out over a temperature range 80–300 K to investigate their elastic behavior. As the materials are porous, the measured elastic moduli were corrected to zero porosity. Using the room temperature elastic moduli, Debye temperature values of both the manganites have also been obtained. Surprisingly it has been found that the Young's moduli of both the materials increase continuously with decreasing temperature. A qualitative explanation for the observed behavior is offered.
