It comprises the following steps: preparation of PC/Ce(NO₃)₃/NaCl, burnout of the cellulose template (600°C), and removal of the sodium chloride via washing with water. Using IR and UV spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy, we have assessed the effect of sodium chloride concentration in the parent composite on the physicochemical properties of the resulting CeO₂. The material prepared from PC/Ce(NO₃)₃/NaCl consisted of two types of CeO₂ particles: particles 15–40 nm in diameter (forming irregularly shaped structures) and particles 1.5–2.2 nm in diameter. These latter formed the surface of spherical aggregates ranging in size from 30 to 200 nm. Increasing the amount of NaCl in PC/Ce(NO₃)₃/NaCl has been shown to cause an increase in the fraction of spherical aggregates in the nanopowders. The size of the spherical aggregates and that of the particles aggregated on their surface are essentially independent of the amount of sodium chloride in the parent composite. The nanopowder prepared without sodium chloride (PC/Ce(NO₃)₃) consisted of only particles of the former type. In the material prepared from PC/Ce(NO₃)₃/NaCl, cerium dioxide was present in the form of cerianite and amorphous phase. A tendency has been found for the content of the amorphous phase in CeO₂ to increase as the amount of sodium chloride in PC/Ce(NO₃)₃/NaCl increases. If the parent composite was free of NaCl, no amorphous phase was formed. No Ce(III) has been detected in the material prepared from PC/Ce(NO₃)₃/NaCl, as distinct from that prepared from PC/Ce(NO₃)₃. Increasing the amount of sodium chloride in PC/Ce(NO₃)₃/NaCl increases the thickness of the hydroxyl–hydrate shell in the nanopowder. The carbon-containing impurities identified in the nanopowders have been shown to be the result of sorption from the ambient atmosphere.

The alloys are ferromagnets and reducing their crystallite size changes the behavior of their magnetoresistance and raises their Curie temperature. The eutectic material obtained at a cooling rate of 60°C/s has a negative magnetoresistance, which attests to spin polarization in the alloy. The corresponding saturation field is 0.13 T. The electrical resistance of the alloys is a linear function of temperature both in the absence of a field and in a magnetic field.

Orlov","doi":"10.1134/S0020168524700572","DOIUrl":"10.1134/S0020168524700572","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The theory of fuzziness is an important area of modern theoretical and applied mathematics. The methodology of the theory of fuzziness is a doctrine of organizing activities in the field of development and application of the scientific results of this theory. We discuss some methodological issues of the theory of fuzziness, i.e., individual components of the methodology in the area under consideration. The theory of fuzziness is a science of pragmatic (fuzzy) numbers and sets. Ancient Greek philosopher Eubulides showed that the concepts of “Heap” and “Bald” cannot be described using natural numbers. E. Borel proposed to define a fuzzy set using a membership function. A fundamentally important step was taken by L.A. Zadeh in 1965. He gave the basic definitions of the algebra of fuzzy sets and introduced the operations of intersection, product, union, sum, and negation of fuzzy sets. The main thing he did was demonstration of the possibilities of expanding (“doubling”) mathematics: by replacing the numbers and sets used in mathematics with their fuzzy counterparts, we obtain new mathematical formulations. In the statistics of nonnumerical data, methods of statistical analysis of fuzzy sets have been developed. Specific types of membership functions are often used— interval and triangular fuzzy numbers. The theory of fuzzy sets in a certain sense is reduced to the theory of random sets. We think fuzzy and that is the only reason we understand each other. The paradox of the fuzzy theory is that it is impossible to consistently implement the thesis “everything in the world is fuzzy.” For ordinary fuzzy sets, the argument and values of the membership function are crisp. If they are replaced by fuzzy analogs, then their description will require their own clear arguments and membership functions, and so on ad infinitum. System fuzzy interval mathematics proceeds from the need to take into account the fuzziness of the initial data and the prerequisites of the mathematical model. One of the options for its practical implementation is an automated system-cognitive analysis and Eidos intellectual system.</p>","PeriodicalId":585,"journal":{"name":"Inorganic Materials","volume":"60 4","pages":"389 - 396"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143583458","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}
