Starting mixtures of ZnO, TiO2 and MgO (0, 1.25 and 2.5 wt.% MgO) powders were mechanically activated for 15 min in a planetary ball mill. The powders obtained were sintered non-isothermally to temperatures between 800 and ...

The Auger and XPS technique has been used for investigation in the surface of bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) (BIT) ceramics obtained by reactive sintering from Bi2O3 and TiO2 oxides. All peaks characteristic for bismuth, ...

The main goal of this research has been to investigate for the first time the effects of fluorination on the crystal structure, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of the P2-type NaxCoO2 powder. Sodium cobalt oxide ...

Anatase TiO2 nanotube arrays of different morphology were prepared by a two-step process: anodic oxidation at voltages 20–60 V and subsequent annealing at 400 °C. By amplifying anodization voltage the inner diameter of ...

Structural changes caused by mechanical activation of SrTiO3 powders were investigated using a variety of methods. Average crystallite size continuously decreased with increased activation time to around 20 nm after 120 ...

Abstract Commercially available ZnO powder was mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill. In order to investigate the specific surface area, pore volume and microstructure of non-activated and mechanically activated ...

Nanocrystalline up-converting Y₂ O₃Yb³⁺ Er³⁺ phosphor particles were processed in a dispersed system-aerosol, generated ultrasonically at 1.3 MHz from common nitrate precursor solution having fixed ytterbium-to-erbium ...

In the present study the effect of preparation conditions on microstructure and electrical properties of MgTiO3 ceramics was investigated. Mixture of MgO and TiO2 powders was subjected to mechanical activation for different ...

Bismuth germanium oxide Bi12GeO20 (BGO) has very interesting electrical, optical and magnetic properties. In order to make devices based on this material more flexible, its powder was used for preparing polymer composites. ...
