Semiconductor SrTiO_3-based voltage-sensing and dielectric dual functional ceramics was prepared by a single step sintering technology in this study, and the effects of the content of La_2O_3 on characteristics of the product were discussed in terms of microstructures and electrical properties of materials. The results show that SrTiO_3-based ceramics doped with La_2O_3 exhibits more homogeneous grain distribution, greater grain size, and excellent voltage sensing and dielectric characteristics than those without La_2O_3 doping. The samples doped with 1 1% La_2O_3 were sintered at 1420 ℃ in N_2+C weak reducing atmosphere. The average grain size of the samples doped with La_2O_3 is 40 μm, the breakdown voltage of 19.7 V·mm^(-1), the nonlinear exponent of 7.2, and dielectric constant of 22500. The results reveal that final products are suitable to use in low operating voltage.展开更多

The influence of glass compositions and rare earth content on absorption spectra was examined and discussed. With increasing Sm2O3 content, the intensity of characteristic absorption peak is increased and the absorption peak is broadened. With increasing of the ratios of SiO2/B2O3 and Al2O3/SiO2, the broadening degree of absorption peak is increased. The experimental results provide basis for making special optical glasses which have the characteristics of high absorption for special wavelength laser and high transparence for visible light.展开更多

All the samples are single phase, with orthorhombic symmetry （Pnma ）, analyzed by XRD and with Rietveld Refinement. The effect of different La-site vacancies concentration on electronic transport of La（1-x）2/3Ca1/3MnO3 was investigated. The insulator-metal transition temperature （about 267 K） nearly remains unchanged with the increase of vacancy concentration, which indicates that small La-vacancy does not destroy the double exchange interaction. But the electronic resistance increases and MR value decreases with La-vacancy content x 〉 0.04. The maximum of the MR value （8 T） is about 220% at transition temperature （TMI）.展开更多

The crystal structures of La 1-x Ca x CrO 3 at room temperature are the orthorhombic perovskite GdFeO 3 type. XPS analysis indicates that chrome ions are in different valence state. The introduction of Ca 2+ into the lattice induces the oxidation of Cr 3+ to Cr 6+ . With x increasing, the amount of Cr 6+ increases. The present of the more Cr 6+ is one of the important factors that effect electric conductivity of La 1-x Ca x CrO 3.展开更多

It is found that with increasing Fe^(3+)-doping content x, the resistance increases and the insulator-metal transition temperature (T_(IM)) shifts to lower temperature. If the doping content is small, the transport properties manifest metallic characteristics in the temperature range of T<T_(IM), while they will obey a thermal activation model in the temperature range of T>T_(IM). Such a behavior may be attributed to the Fe^(3+)-doping and possible Mn ions scattering to electrons. The Fe^(3+) doping may lead to the formation of Fe^(3+)-O^(2-)-Mn^(4+) channels, which could terminate the double exchange Mn^(3+)-O^(2-)-Mn^(4+) channels. The antiferromagnetic clusters of Fe ions may induce the Mn ions to scetter to the electrons.展开更多

By means of dipping CeO_2, La_2O_3 and their mixture, whose carriers were all γ-Al_2O_3, were used as the catalyst for the reduction of SO_2 by CO. The activation process of this catalyst and the impact of temperature and reactant concentration on the activation process were investigated. Using X-ray diffraction, the structure characteristics of catalyst before and after reaction were analyzed to reveal the change of phase structure. The result shows that the rare earth oxide mixtures composing of CeO_2 and La_2O_3, as the catalyst for the reduction of SO_2 by CO, diminish activation temperature 50～100 ℃ less and have higher activity than a single oxide CeO_2 or La_2O_3. The reason possibl is that La_2O_3 goes into in the lattice of CeO_2 to form solid phase complex CeO_2-La_2O_3 and increases the capability of CeO_2-La_2O_3/γ-Al_2O_3 catalyst to store oxygen, which supplies the redox of CeO_2 reaction with a better condition. At the same time, elemental sulfur formed in the redox reaction impels La_2O_3 to be transformed to activation phase La_2O_2S in a lower temperature, which can be explained with the synergism between redox reaction and COS intermediate mechanism reaction.展开更多

It is found that the refining effect of the refiner on the material has superiority over foreign or domestic Al5Ti1B refiner, and the refiner still retains its refining ability for 6 h after adding it to molten Al, thus improving the strength and plasticity of the material remarkably. The excellent refining effect and stability of AlTiBRE refiner result from that RE can lower the surface energy of molten Al and improve the wetting characteristics of molten Al on refinement nuclei such as TiAl 3, TiB 2, etc., thus giving full play to the effect of heterogeneous nucleation and impeding the congregating tendency of TiB 2 phase in molten Al. At the same time, RE gathering in front of solid/liquid interface are also easy to cause composition supercooling in molten Al, thus impeding the growth of α Al grains and promoting α Al nucleation on refinement nuclei. In addition, RE also play certain role in purification and grain refinement, or modification, especially their effect of purification can improve the metallurgical quality of AlTiBRE master alloy.展开更多

文摘The transport properties were studied for rare earth manganese oxide La_(0.67)Ca_(0.33)Mn_(1-x)Fe_xO_3 (x=0～0.3) systems. It is found that with increasing Fe^(3+)-doping content x, the resistance increases and the insulator-metal transition temperature (T_(IM)) shifts to lower temperature. If the doping content is small, the transport properties manifest metallic characteristics in the temperature range of T<T_(IM), while they will obey a thermal activation model in the temperature range of T>T_(IM). Such a behavior may be attributed to the Fe^(3+)-doping and possible Mn ions scattering to electrons. The Fe^(3+) doping may lead to the formation of Fe^(3+)-O^(2-)-Mn^(4+) channels, which could terminate the double exchange Mn^(3+)-O^(2-)-Mn^(4+) channels. The antiferromagnetic clusters of Fe ions may induce the Mn ions to scetter to the electrons.
