K(0.8)Ag(0.2)Nb(4)O(9)AsO(4).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, potassium silver tetra-niobium nona-oxide arsenate, K(0.8)Ag(0.2)Nb(4)O(9)AsO(4), was prepared by a solid-state reaction at 1183?K. The structure consists of infinite (Nb(2)AsO(14))(n) chains parallel to the b axis and cross-linked by corner sharing via pairs of edge-sharing octa-hedra. Each pair links together four infinite chains to form a three-dimensional framework. The K(+) and Ag(+) ions partially occupy several independent close positions in the inter-connected cavities delimited by the framework. K(0.8)Ag(0.2)Nb(4)O(9)AsO(4) is likely to exhibit fast alkali-ion mobility and ion-exchange properties. The Wyckoff symbols of special positions are as follows: one Nb 8e, one Nb 8g, As 4c, two K 8f, one Ag 8f, one Ag 4c, one O 8g, one O 4c.

K(0.12)Na(0.54)Ag(0.34)Nb(4)O(9)AsO(4).

Project description:Potassium sodium silver tetra-niobium nona-oxide arsenate, K(0.12)Na(0.54)Ag(0.34)Nb(4)AsO(13), synthesized by solid-state reaction at 1123 K, adopts a three-dimensional framework delimiting tunnels running along [001] in which occupationally disordered sodium, silver, and potassium ions are located. Of the 11 atoms in the asymmetric unit (two Nb, one As, one Ag, one K, one Na and fiveO), nine are located on special positions: one Nb and the K, Ag, Na and two O atoms are situated on mirror planes, the other Nb is on a twofold rotation axis, and the As atom and one O atom are on sites of m2m symmetry.

Controlling polarization direction in epitaxial Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 films through Nb (n-type) and Fe (p-type) doping.

Project description:Fe (acceptor) and Nb (donor) doped epitaxial Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) films were grown on single crystal SrTiO3 substrates and their electric properties were compared to those of un-doped PZT layers deposited in similar conditions. All the films were grown from targets produced from high purity precursor oxides and the doping was in the limit of 1% atomic in both cases. The remnant polarization, the coercive field and the potential barriers at electrode interfaces are different, with lowest values for Fe doping and highest values for Nb doping, with un-doped PZT in between. The dielectric constant is larger in the doped films, while the effective density of charge carriers is of the same order of magnitude. An interesting result was obtained from piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) investigations. It was found that the as-grown Nb-doped PZT has polarization orientated upward, while the Fe-doped PZT has polarization oriented mostly downward. This difference is explained by the change in the conduction type, thus in the sign of the carriers involved in the compensation of the depolarization field during the growth. In the Nb-doped film the majority carriers are electrons, which tend to accumulate to the growing surface, leaving positively charged ions at the interface with the bottom SrRuO3 electrode, thus favouring an upward orientation of polarization. For Fe-doped film the dominant carriers are holes, thus the sign of charges is opposite at the growing surface and the bottom electrode interface, favouring downward orientation of polarization. These findings open the way to obtain p-n ferroelectric homojunctions and suggest that PFM can be used to identify the type of conduction in PZT upon the dominant direction of polarization in the as-grown films.

Wyllieite-type Ag(1.09)Mn(3.46)(AsO(4))(3).

Project description:Single crystals of wyllieite-type silver(I) manganese(II) tris-orthoarsenate(V), Ag(1.09)Mn(3.46)(AsO(4))(3), were grown by a solid-state reaction. The three-dimensional framework is made up from four Mn(2+)/Mn(3+) cations surrounded octa-hedrally by O atoms. The MnO(6) octa-hedra are linked through edge- and corner-sharing. Three independent AsO(4) tetra-hedra are linked to the framework through common corners, delimiting channels along [100] in which two partly occupied Ag(+) sites reside, one on an inversion centre and with an occupancy of 0.631?(4), the other on a general site and with an occupancy of 0.774?(3), both within distorted tetra-hedral environments. One of the Mn sites is also located on an inversion centre and is partly occupied, with an occupancy of 0.916?(5). Related compounds with alluaudite-type or rosemaryite-type structures are compared and discussed.

Rietveld refinement of whitlockite-related K(0.8)Ca(9.8)Fe(0.2)(PO(4))(7).

Project description:The title compound, K(0.8)Ca(9.8)Fe(0.2)(PO(4))(7) (potassium deca-calcium iron hepta-phosphate), belongs to the whitlockite family. The structure is built up from several types of metal-oxygen polyhedra: two [CaO(8)], one [CaO(7)] and one [(Ca/Fe)O(6)] polyhedron with a mixed Ca/Fe occupancy in a 0.8:0.2 ratio, as well as three tetra-hedral [PO(4)] units. Of the 18 sites in the asymmetric unit, the site with the mixed Ca/Fe occupation, the K site, one P and one O site are on special positions 6a with 3 symmetry, whereas all other sites are on general positions 18b. The linkage of metal-oxygen polyhedra and [PO(4)] tetra-hedra via edges and corners results in formation of a three-dimensional framework with composition [Ca(9.8)Fe(0.2)(PO(4))(7)](0.8-). The remaining K atoms (site-occupation factor = 0.8) are located in large closed cavities and are nine-coordinated by oxygen.

Superconductivity in the High-Entropy Ceramics Ti0.2 Zr0.2 Nb0.2 Mo0.2 Ta0.2 Cx with Possible Nontrivial Band Topology.

Project description:Topological superconductors have drawn significant interest from the scientific community due to the accompanying Majorana fermions. Here, the discovery of electronic structure and superconductivity (SC) in high-entropy ceramics Ti0.2 Zr0.2 Nb0.2 Mo0.2 Ta0.2 Cx (x = 1 and 0.8) combined with experiments and first-principles calculations is reported. The Ti0.2 Zr0.2 Nb0.2 Mo0.2 Ta0.2 Cx high-entropy ceramics show bulk type-II SC with Tc ≈ 4.00 K (x = 1) and 2.65 K (x = 0.8), respectively. The specific heat jump (∆C/γTc ) is equal to 1.45 (x = 1) and 1.52 (x = 0.8), close to the expected value of 1.43 for the BCS superconductor in the weak coupling limit. The high-pressure resistance measurements show a robust SC against high physical pressure in Ti0.2 Zr0.2 Nb0.2 Mo0.2 Ta0.2 C, with a slight Tc variation of 0.3 K within 82.5 GPa. Furthermore, the first-principles calculations indicate that the Dirac-like point exists in the electronic band structures of Ti0.2 Zr0.2 Nb0.2 Mo0.2 Ta0.2 C, which is potentially a topological superconductor. The Dirac-like point is mainly contributed by the d orbitals of transition metals M and the p orbitals of C. The high-entropy ceramics provide an excellent platform for the fabrication of novel quantum devices, and the study may spark significant future physics investigations in this intriguing material.

Hydrogen separation through tailored dual phase membranes with nominal composition BaCe0.8Eu0.2O3-δ:Ce0.8Y0.2O2-δ at intermediate temperatures.

Project description:Hydrogen permeation membranes are a key element in improving the energy conversion efficiency and decreasing the greenhouse gas emissions from energy generation. The scientific community faces the challenge of identifying and optimizing stable and effective ceramic materials for H2 separation membranes at elevated temperature (400-800 °C) for industrial separations and intensified catalytic reactors. As such, composite materials with nominal composition BaCe0.8Eu0.2O3-δ:Ce0.8Y0.2O2-δ revealed unprecedented H2 permeation levels of 0.4 to 0.61 mL·min-1·cm-2 at 700 °C measured on 500 μm-thick-specimen. A detailed structural and phase study revealed single phase perovskite and fluorite starting materials synthesized via the conventional ceramic route. Strong tendency of Eu to migrate from the perovskite to the fluorite phase was observed at sintering temperature, leading to significant Eu depletion of the proton conducing BaCe0.8Eu0.2O3-δ phase. Composite microstructure was examined prior and after a variety of functional tests, including electrical conductivity, H2-permeation and stability in CO2 containing atmospheres at elevated temperatures, revealing stable material without morphological and structural changes, with segregation-free interfaces and no further diffusive effects between the constituting phases. In this context, dual phase material based on BaCe0.8Eu0.2O3-δ:Ce0.8Y0.2O2-δ represents a very promising candidate for H2 separating membrane in energy- and environmentally-related applications.

Characterization and Optimization of Silver-Modified In0.2Cd0.8S-Based Photocatalysts.

Project description:In this research, we performed scanning electrochemical microscopy to screen M x (In0.2Cd0.8)1-x S (M = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ru, Ag, W, Ir, Pt, and Te) photocatalyst arrays for efficient photoelectrochemical reaction. Doping 30% Ag to form the Ag0.3(In0.2Cd0.8)0.7S electrode could result in the highest photocurrent, and also, the anode photocurrents were found to be 1 and 0.53 mA/cm2 under UV-visible and visible light, respectively, comparatively higher than that of the In0.2Cd0.8S electrode (0.45 and 0.25 mA/cm2). The highest incident photo-to-current conversion efficiency of the Ag0.3(In0.2Cd0.8)0.7S photocatalyst and In0.2Cd0.8S were found to be 64% (λ = 450 nm) and 57% (λ = 400 nm), respectively. The Mott-Schottky plots showed that In0.2Cd0.8S and Ag0.3(In0.2Cd0.8)0.7S photoelectrodes could exhibit a flat-band potential of -0.85 and -0.55 V versus Ag/AgCl, respectively. Based on these findings, the superior photocatalytic activity of the Ag0.3(In0.2Cd0.8)0.7S photoelectrode was mainly attributed to its high crystalline structure for efficient charge separation and reduction of charge recombination in the heterojunction of Ag0.3(In0.2Cd0.8)0.7S and Ag2S.

High-Entropy Sn0.8(Co0.2Mg0.2Mn0.2Ni0.2Zn0.2)2.2O4 Conversion-Alloying Anode Material for Li-Ion Cells: Altered Lithium Storage Mechanism, Activation of Mg, and Origins of the Improved Cycling Stability.

Project description:Benefits emerging from applying high-entropy ceramics in Li-ion technology are already well-documented in a growing number of papers. However, an intriguing question may be formulated: how can the multicomponent solid solution-type material ensure stable electrochemical performance? Utilizing an example of nonequimolar Sn-based Sn0.8(Co0.2Mg0.2Mn0.2Ni0.2Zn0.2)2.2O4 high-entropy spinel oxide, we provide a comprehensive model explaining the observed very good cyclability. The material exhibits a high specific capacity above 600 mAh g-1 under a specific current of 50 mA g-1 and excellent capacity retention near 100% after 500 cycles under 200 mA g-1. The stability originates from the conversion-alloying reversible reactivity of the amorphous matrix, which forms during the first lithiation from the initial high-entropy structure, and preserves the high level of cation disorder at the atomic scale. In the altered Li-storage mechanism in relation to the simple oxides, the unwanted aggregated metallic grains are not exsolved from the anode and therefore do not form highly lithiated phases characterized by large volumetric changes. Also, the electrochemical activity of Mg from the oxide matrix can be clearly observed. Because the studied compound was prepared by a conventional solid-state route, implementation of the presented approach is facile and appears usable for any oxide anode material containing a high-entropy mixture of elements.

Surface spin-glass, large surface anisotropy, and depression of magnetocaloric effect in La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) nanoparticles.

Project description:The surface magnetic behavior of La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) nanoparticles was investigated. We observed irreversibility in high magnetic field. The surface spin-glass behavior as well as the high-field irreversibility is suppressed by increasing particle size while the freezing temperature T(F) does not change with particle size. The enhanced coercivity has been observed in the particles and we attributed it to the large surface anisotropy. We have disclosed a clear relationship between the particle size, the thickness of the shell, and the saturation magnetization of the particles. The large reduction of the saturation magnetization of the samples is found to be induced by the increase of nonmagnetic surface large since the thickness of the spin-disordered surface layer increases with a decrease in the particle size. Due to the reduction of the magnetization, the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) has been reduced by the decreased particle size since the nonmagnetic surface contributes little to the MCE. Based on the core-shell structure, large relative cooling powers RCP(s) of 180 J/kg and 471 J/kg were predicted for a field change of 2.0 T and 4.5 T, respectively, in the small particles with thin spin-glass layer.

Dislocations Accelerate Oxygen Ion Diffusion in La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 Epitaxial Thin Films.

Project description:Revealing whether dislocations accelerate oxygen ion transport is important for providing abilities in tuning the ionic conductivity of ceramic materials. In this study, we report how dislocations affect oxygen ion diffusion in Sr-doped LaMnO3 (LSM), a model perovskite oxide that serves in energy conversion technologies. LSM epitaxial thin films with thicknesses ranging from 10 nm to more than 100 nm were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on single-crystal LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 substrates. The lattice mismatch between the film and substrates induces compressive or tensile in-plane strain in the LSM layers. This lattice strain is partially reduced by dislocations, especially in the LSM films on LaAlO3. Oxygen isotope exchange measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry revealed the existence of at least two very different diffusion coefficients in the LSM films on LaAlO3. The diffusion profiles can be quantitatively explained by the existence of fast oxygen ion diffusion along threading dislocations that is faster by up to 3 orders of magnitude compared to that in LSM bulk.
