In silica matrix with the help of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS),ethanol and oxalic acid catalyst ,using sol-gel technique followed by high temperature(N2 gas) solvent extraction with supercritical drying technique. The obtained aerogel doped with nickel nitrate display a well developed porous structure, excellent physical properties with less volume shrinkage, extremely high specific surface area (794.3 m²/g), average pore size of 240 nm. The aerogel composite possessed a BET specific surface area even after calcinations of 500oC for 4 hours by maintaining the pore shrinkage with the supporting skeletons nickel nitrate contents. The cross-linked aerogel composite, structural and physical properties were investigated by XRD (X-ray diffraction), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier- transform infrared-spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) and BJH nitrogen gas adsorption-desorption.","PeriodicalId":148039,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Chemical Energy (Topic)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123161069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through Rietveld refinement, we demonstrate the changes in the volume fractions of the Nd<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>14</sub>B main phase and the other secondary phases as a function of increasing temperature up to 1047 °C. The secondary phases include dhcp-Nd, fcc-NdO<sub>x</sub>, and hcp-Nd<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> at room temperature and fcc-Nd at elevated temperatures. The main phase remains relatively stable up to 600 °C and starts melting above 900 °C, while diffraction from the dhcp-Nd phase completely disappears at around 600 °C. Taking advantage of the excellent quality of the XRD profiles in the powdered single-crystal sample, we also investigate the electron density distribution of the main phase by the maximum entropy method (MEM)/Rietveld analysis in order to elucidate the origin of the large magnetic anisotropy. From the subtraction of the electron density distributions recorded above (-123 °C) and below (-173 °C) the spin reorientation transition (-138 °C), we observe an anomalous change of the electron density distribution around the Nd <i>f</i> and <i>g</i> sites of Nd<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>14</sub>B whose electron density distributions are intimately related to the magnetic anisotropy.","PeriodicalId":148039,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Chemical Energy (Topic)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132397755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
