The powders were ball milled at 20:1 ball-to-powder ratio and 500 rpm rotating speed up to 70 h. The phase and morphological properties of the synthesized powders were examined by using X-Ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope (SEM/EDX). The magnetic properties of powders were determined by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature in the range of 0-20 kOe. It is determined that after 2.5 h of milling, Ti and B are started to dissolve in Fe lattice and Fe(TiB) solid solutions formed. XRD analysis revealed that the amorphous structures were formed after 30h of milling and the crystallite size and lattice strain were found ~ 8.2 nm and 1.16%, respectively. SEM images indicated that the particles were mostly agglomerated and the particles size distribution was in the range of 10-48 μm. Magnetic measurements revealed that after 70 h of milling, the saturation magnetization (M s ) and the coercivity (H c ) was about 94 emu/g and 117 Oe.","PeriodicalId":431027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Boron","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123555135","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}

The alteration of hydrophilic surface properties of anhydrous borax with stearic acid was optimized by modifier amount and activation time. The cohesion mechanisms of powders, which processed at conditions of 0.5, 1 and 2 wt. % stearic acid amount with the function of 30, 60 and 120 minute activation time, were evaluated in terms of the solubility test, contact angle measurements, particle size distributions, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Results indicate that anhydrous borax surface could be switched from hydrophilic to hydrophobic with changing contact angle from wetting (17 o ) to non-wetting (99 o ). Water-insoluble amount of anhydrous borax powders, as a coating efficiency indicator, was increased from 73 % to 91 % by coating with 1 wt. % stearic acid for 60 min. Furthermore, SEM analysis results demonstrate that stearic acid was discretely coated over the anhydrous borax surface. As a conclusion, an effective mechanical dry coating processing by a one-step coating approach could be applied to obtain a modified anhydrous borax surface, which offers controlled solubility behaviour in water-based suspensions.","PeriodicalId":431027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Boron","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123433465","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}

The phase analysis, crystallinity and size distribution of Li 3 Y 2 (BO 3 ) 3 was investigated by X, ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It was found that single phase Li 3 Y 2 (BO 3 ) 3 crystallizes in orthorhombic crystal system with refined unit cell parameters of a=8.9228, b=9.5840(7), c=20.4469A, Z=9, and represent the space group of Pmmm. Particles size distribution estimated from the SEM images are in the range of 20 to 200 µm. The luminescence properties of Li 3 Y 2 (BO 3 ) 3 were investigated by using steadystate photoluminescence (PL) measurement as a function of temperature. The spectra are dominated by transitions related to defects present in the sample, in the visible region of the spectrum. A relatively low intensity band-to-band transition was also observed at high energy side of the spectrum centered at around 3.33 eV. This peak is decomposed to two close peaks at 3.32 and 3.35 eV using Gauss fitting. From the temperature behavior of peak energies of these emissions, the band gap of Li 3 Y 2 (BO 3 ) 3 is estimated to be 3.35 eV for the first time.","PeriodicalId":431027,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Boron","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114686419","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}

VB 2 -V 3 B 4 -V 2 B 3 /VC hybrid powders were synthesized from V 2 O 5 , B 2 O 3 and C powder blends via a carbothermal reduction route assisted by mechanical milling. Powder blends were mechanically milled up to 5 h in a high-energy ball mill. The milling process reduced the crystallite size, increased the uniformity of the particle distribution and hence increased the reactivity of the starting powders. As-blended and milled powders were annealed at different temperatures (1400, 1500 and 1600°C) for 12 h to investigate the probability of achieving vanadium boride and carbide phases simultaneously. Annealed powders were characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM/EDS) and particle size analyzer. In case of using annealing temperature of 1400°C, VB 2 -V 3 B 4 -V 2 B 3 /VC hybrid powders were obtained with an amount of unreacted V 2 O 5 . Annealing temperatures of 1500 and 1600 ° C resulted in the formation of VB 2 , V 3 B 4 , V 2 B 3 and VC phases.

Boron movement increased at the higher moisture level (60 %) and with prolonged incubation times (3 vs 6 weeks).
