Frequency-dependent dielectric and impedance properties were investigated at low temperature range of 100-300K. The changes in dielectric properties of the Ba1-xSrxTiO3 ceramics are believed to originate from the phase transition due to the different A-site Sr2+ doping concentration. The local electron-pinned defect-dipole effect is responsible for the enhancement of dielectric constant observed in the B-site Ta5+ doped BaTi1-xTaxO3 ceramics. The complex impedance analysis was used to discern the temperature and frequency dependence of grains and grain boundaries responses. The results suggest that A- and B-site doped BaTiO3 ceramics can be applied for different dielectric devices at low temperatures.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135311324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed good Vickers hardness (19.0-19.7GPa) and fracture toughness (3.61-4.18MPa?m1/2) increasing with crack propagation length. However, transverse section of the large elongated grains was revealed as critical crack to cause premature fracture of the ?-SiAlON ceramics.

The migration and distribution state of chromium in the slag during the preparation of the glass-ceramics have a great influence on the chromium fixation ability of the glass-ceramics. In this paper, the effects of Al2O3 content in the glass-ceramics on the migration and distribution of chromium during the nucleation and crystallization steps, and on the chromium fixation effect of the glass-ceramics were systematically studied. The results show that in the nucleation stage, with the increase of Al2O3 content, the number of chromium spinel (Cr-spinel) nanocrystals formed in the glass first increases and then decreases, and Cr in the glass phase gradually migrates to Cr-spinel nanocrystals. TEM and XPS analyses show that during crystallization, part of Cr in Cr-spinel diffuses into diopside lattice, and the other part of Cr still exists in Cr-spinel wrapped by diopside. Cr in the glass phase also diffuses and migrates into the diopside lattice with the formation of diopside crystals. The optimal Al2O3 content is 11.8wt.%, which results in 97.94wt.% of the total Cr being fixed in the diopside crystalline phase. The ability of chromium fixation is very high giving a very low Cr leaching concentration of 0.004mg/l. The research results provide theoretical and technical support for increased chromium fixation and realizing harmless and high-value utilization of stainless-steel slag.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68582840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed that all prepared thin films had a polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure with highly preferred texture in the (002) plane in the case of the ZnO containing 7 wt.% La. Atomic force microscopy analyses confirmed that the surface morphology is affected by La addition and the root mean square (RMS) roughness tended to be higher by increasing La content. The optical band gap energies of the La-doped thin films are smaller than that of the undoped ZnO. The photoluminescence properties of the prepared thin films confirmed that there was a significant redshift of DLE to wavelength of 711 nm when 1wt.% of La was incorporated in ZnO structure. It was proposed that the incorporation of La into the ZnO structure caused the oxygen atoms to have a strong bond with La.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68583222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples sintered under 50MPa applied pressure had high density (>99%), and showed high elastic modulus (~420MPa). However, lower applied pressure caused a decrease in density and elastic properties. The increase of sintering temperature from 1900 to 2000?C, while sintering time and pressure remained the same, caused grains coarsening. Increasing the dwelling time for the samples sintered at 1900 and 2000?C showed that sintering at a relatively lower temperature for a longer period of time did not increase grain size significantly.
