The results showed that structural and dielectric properties of the prepared samples can be effectively affected by Mg doping. Thus, the SrTiO3 nanowire film doped with 1.5mol% Mg has high dielectric constant of 594.2, a low dielectric loss of 0.0167 and the highest breakdown strength of 463.1 kV/cm at 1 kHz, therefore resulting in a high energy density of 5.64 J/cm3, which is about 3.9 times higher than that of the pure SrTiO3 nanowire films (1.44 J/cm3). Based on findings in this research, it was shown that improvement of dielectric properties of SrTiO3 ceramic systems can be obtained with formation of one-dimensional structures and selecting reasonable Mg content for doping.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68579989","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}

Still, these properties are highly dependent on the processing route used to produce these materials. In this work, properties of the polycrystalline CMO ceramics are reported by studying samples obtained from powders synthesized by a modified Pechini method and sintered at 1543K for 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h. Crystallographic parameters of the resulting phases were determined from X-ray diffraction patterns. The ceramics sintered for 6 h has the highest density (94.8%TD), while the CMO-1h sample (sintered only 1 h) presented the lowest density (77.2%TD) due to a large amount of secondary phase and short sintering time. The crystallite sizes of the CMO particles reached 49.2 nm; meanwhile, the grain sizes were in the range from 1.04 to 4.85 ?m. Seebeck coefficient has a negative value, characterizing an n-type material, and its value approached ?350 ?V/K at 873K. The sample sintered for 1 h has the lowest value of thermal conductivity (3.3W/mK), while the ceramics sintered for 3 h reached maximum electrical conductivity value (1830 S/m), both at 873K. In addition, this high conductivity of the ceramics sintered for 3 h contributed to it having the highest ZT value of about 0.039.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68580613","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 zirconia-yttria-titania powders were synthesized by co-precipitation method, uniaxially pressed and sintered at 1400?C/5 h. Sample characterizations were carried out by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and mechanical properties through Vickers hardness and toughness measurements. Compared to the Y-TZP ceramics, the yttria stabilised tetragonal zirconia ceramics co-doped with 10mol%Ti showed noticeable increase of tetragonality parameter, higher toughness and lower hardness values, indicating plasticity at room temperature. Furthermore, the atomistic simulation by Density Functional Theory methodology suggests the occurrence of spatial arrangement of the atoms, explaining the proposed plasticity.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68582349","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}

Fe-O-Ti bonds were formed in the xerogels prepared by using Fe(OC2H5)3 and FeOH(CH3COO)2 as iron sources. However, the hydroxyl group in FeOH(CH3COO)2 easily leads to homocondensation and particles agglomeration.

The impurity BaFe2O4 phase is the main reason for decreasing powder magnetization.

The samples were characterized by dilatometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Hopkinson split bar method. The composition with the zirconia addition exhibited lower shrinkage rates at higher temperatures than the groups without zirconia, which promoted small sample shrinkage, resulting in lower density and higher porosity. The dynamic test showed that the alumina FGMs with layer containing LiF had the highest strain and strain rate values, exhibiting that the presence of continuous gradients in the composition positively affects the ceramic properties.

Basalt, as a low-cost raw material, is regarded as a good candidate for industrial constructive parts production. In the present study, andesite basalt originated from the deposit site \"Donje Jarinje\", Serbia, was examined as a potential raw material for high-density ceramics production. The production of high-density ceramics included dry milling, homogenization, cold isostatic pressing, and sintering in the air. To determine the optimal processing parameters the sintering was conducted at 1040, 1050, 1060, 1070, and 1080 °C, and afterward the sintering duration was varied from 30 to 240 min at the optimal sintering temperature of 1060 °C. Characterization of the starting and sintered materials included the estimation of particle size distribution, density, hardness, and fracture toughness complemented with X-ray diffraction, light optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. Phase transformations did not occur during processing in the investigated temperature range from 1040 to 1080 °C. The obtained research results showed that 99.5% of relative density and the highest hardness and fracture toughness values of 6.7 GPa and 2.2 MPaÖm, respectively, were achieved for the andesite basalt sintered at 1060 °C for 60 min in the air.
