The application of double perovskite cobaltites BaLnCo2O6−δ (Ln = lanthanide element) in electrochemical devices for energy conversion requires control of their properties at operating conditions. This work presents a study of a series of BaLnCo2O6−δ (Ln = La, Pr, Nd) with a focus on the evolution of structural and electrical properties with temperature. Symmetry, oxygen non-stoichiometry, and cobalt valence state have been examined by means of Synchrotron Radiation Powder X-ray Diffraction (SR-PXD), thermogravimetry (TG), and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS). The results indicate that all three compositions maintain mainly orthorhombic structure from RT to 1000 °C. Chemical expansion from Co reduction and formation of oxygen vacancies is observed and characterized above 350 °C. Following XAS experiments, the high spin of Co was ascertained in the whole range of temperatures for BLC, BPC, and BNC.

ABSTRACTWe prepared colossal magnetoresistive La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 thin films on the MgO, SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 single crystal substrates using KrF excimer pulsed laser ablation technique. The structural and electrical properties of the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 thin films which were strained by the lattice mismatch are reported. The in-plane lattice mismatch between the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 and MgO, SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 substrates are -7.8 %, -0.5 % and +2.3 %, respectively. The X-ray diffraction spectra of the films exhibited c-axis orientation. In the case of the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 / LaAlO3 thin films with thickness over 100 nm, the divided (00l) peaks were observed. The surface morphology and transport property of the strongly stressed La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 / LaAlO3 were different from those of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 / MgO and La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 / SrTiO3thin films.

Polycrystalline Cu substituted Ni–Zn ferrites with chemical composition Ni[Formula: see text]Zn[Formula: see text]-Cu[Formula: see text]Fe2O4 (x = 0.00 to 0.25 in steps of 0.05) have been prepared by citrate gel autocombustion method. The samples for electrical properties have been sintered at 900[Formula: see text]C for 4 h. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all samples indicate the formation of single phase spinel cubic structure. The value of lattice parameter is decreases with increasing Cu concentration. The estimated cation distribution can be derived from X-ray diffraction intensity calculations and IR spectra. The tetrahedral and octahedral bond lengths, bond angles, cation–cation and cation–anion distances were calculated by using experimental lattice parameter and oxygen positional parameters. It is observed that Cu ions are distributed in octahedral site and subsequently Ni and Fe ions in tetrahedral site. The grain size of all samples has been calculated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images. The variations in DC electrical resistivity and dielectric constant have been explained on the basis of proposed cation distribution.

AbstractThe structural and electrical properties of SrCe1-xYbxO3 ceramics have been studied as a function of temperature and Yb-concentration using x-ray diffraction and impedance techniques. The influence of Yb-dopants on electrical transport and structural disorder has been studied. A correlation between the structural properties, electrical conductivity is observed and discussed. These measurements allow us to determine the mechanism of charge carrier compensation and also the concentration and mobility of the electrical species.

ABSTRACTThe effect of anthanum substitution (0-20%) on phase formation, structural evolution and electrical properties of SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) ceramics were investigated. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that phase pure SBT bulk samples can be synthesized with lanthanum doping without any phase segregation. Raman spectroscopy was used to understand the lattice vibrational characteristics of La substituted SBT compound. The ferroelectric soft mode at 27 cm−1 was shifted towards the lower frequencies at room temperature with increase in La concentrations. The octahedral stretching mode (O-Ta-O) did not influenced by La substitution in SBT. The x-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements showed the decrease of binding energy of Bi 4f core levels (5/2 and 7/2) upon La substitution in SBT. The dielectric constant was increased from 120 to 190 up to 10% La doping and decreased with further increase in La concentration.

The characteristics of Ga-doped zinc oxide (GaZnO) thin films deposited at different substrate temperatures (TS~250 to 550oC) on 4H-SiC have been investigated. Structural and electrical properties of GaZnO thin film on n-type 4H-SiC (100)were investigated by using x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy (AFM), Hall effect measurement, and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Hall mobility is found to increase as the substrate temperature increase from 250 to 550 oC, whereas the lowest resistivity (~3.3 x 10-4 Ωcm) and highest carrier concentration (~1.33x1021cm-3) values are observed for the GaZnO films deposited at 400 oC. It has been found that the c-axis oriented crystalline quality as well as the relative amount of activated Ga3+ Introduction ions may affect the electrical properties of GaZnO films on SiC.

The kinetics of phase transitions and phase segregation induced by annealing temperature on the Ti–W–O gas-sensing layer was studied by x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The main goal was to identify, on the basis of kinetics studies, structurally stable Ti–WO3 thin film phases and compare their response to polluting gases in order to determine possible correlations between structural and electrical properties of the sensing layers.

ABSTRACTA comparative study of microstructure and electrical properties of BaxSr1-xTiO3 films made by single- and multi-target pulsed laser deposition was carried out. The films were epitaxially grown on both LaAlO3 and MgO substrates. The structural properties of all samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The elemental composition of the samples was investigated using energy dispersive X-ray analysis. For electrical properties examination, a simple capacitor structure was patterned on the film surface. Thin films made using both methods exhibit similar structural and electrical properties; however the samples made by a multi-target method underwent phase transition in a broader temperature region. The results prove the possibility of using the multi-target pulse laser deposition as a more flexible method for engineering thin film stoichometry.
