Alternate CoFe2O4/Bi3.1La0.9Ti3O12 layers were deposited on Pt substrate （Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si） by spin coating. X-ray diffraction and SEM （scanning electron microscopy） studies show composite-like polycrystalline films. Films were studied for leakage current, dielectric response, ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties. Leakage current was low （〈 10^-8 A） in electric field below 120 kV/cm, and the dielectric response shows relaxation. Dielectric loss （tan 8） reduces 〈 3% at 10^6 Hz. Two and four layer structures showed room temperature FE （ferroelectric） and FM （ferromagnetic） responses with FE Pr （polarization） 〉 25℃/cm2 and ferromagnetic Mr （memory） 〉 52 emu/cm3. Co-existence of FE and FM can be attributed to stress due to different crystal structures of the material involved in composite film structure.展开更多

The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDX), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection(UV-Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and photoluminescence(PL) measurements. The composite structures consisted of Cd1-xZnxS nanoparticles evenly distributed on the surface of K2La2Ti3O10. The absorption edge of K2La2Ti3O10 shifted to the visible light region upon introduction of the Cd1-xZnxS nanoparticles. The photocatalytic activities of the catalysts were evaluated by hydrogen production under visible light irradiation. The prepared Cd0.8Zn0.2S(30wt%)/K2La2Ti3O10 exhibited higher photocatalytic activity, evolving 6.92 mmol/g H2 under visible light irradiation for 3 h. The promoted photocatalytic activity of the composites was attributed to the synergistic effect between Cd1-xZnxS and K2La2Ti3O10, which resulted in enhanced separation of photogenerated electrons and holes.展开更多

The synthesis temperature of Bi4Ti3O12 platelets was decreased to 650℃ from 900-1100℃. The phase compositions and crystalline morphology of Bi4Ti3O12 platelets were investigated by XRD and SEM. The experimental results indicate that Bi4Ti3O12 platelets containing tetragonal and orthorhombic phase with the size of 1-3μm can be synthesized at 650℃ for 2 h, and the orthorhombic phase becomes the dominant phase at 750℃ for 5 h. The size and proportion of Bi4Ti3O12 platelets increase with the increment of the calcining temperature and holding time. The proportion of platelets increases to about ninety percent, and the platelets grow up to about 3-10μm at 750℃ for 5 h from 1-2μm at 650℃ for 2 h. This technical route provides a new low-temperature molten salt system for preparing platelets by molten salt methods.展开更多

The phase and structure of the ceramics were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and microwave dielectric properties measurements. These samples were identified as single phase and adopted A4B3O12-type cation-deficient hexagonal perovskite structure, which can be described as consisting of identical perovskite-like blocks, three corner-sharing BO6 octahedra thick, separated by layers of vacant octahedral. These ceramics have high dielectric constants in the range of 48-42, high quality factors (Q×f) up to 38 000 GHz, and low temperature coefficient of resonant frequencies (τf) in the range of (-40-+6)×10-6℃-1. With increasing content of La and Ti, the dielectric constants slightly decrease butτf gradually increases.展开更多

The interfacial microstructural characteristics and the fracture surfaces of the composite at different temperatures were observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and by scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. Then, from the results of microscopic observation, the fracture mechanisms of the composite at different temperatures are discussed. Finally, the tensile strengths of the composite at elevated temperatures were predicted by statistical integration average (SIA) method with the consideration of various fracture mechanisms. It was shown that the strengths and fracture mechanisms of the composite at elevated temperature (300℃) were significantly different from those at room temperature due to the variations of interfacial bonding states. The tensile strengths predicted by the SIA method at elevated temperatures agreed well with the experimental results.展开更多
