XRD shows that solid solution with cubicphase formed in all the solid solutions (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8) Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2. Raman spectrum showsthat Ce-Th complex oxides can promote the formation of oxygen vacancies. Two reduction peaks appearin the TPR profiles of Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2 solid solution. The a peak is attributed to the reduction ofCe^(4+) on the surface, and the β peak is attributed to the reduction of bulk CeO_2. Theincorporation of Th atom into CeO_2 improves the reduction of CeO_2. Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2 mixed oxidesare promising materials for oxygen vacancies produced, as well as catalysts for many reactionsinvolved oxygen, such as the catalysts for three-way reactions for reducing the releasing pollutantsor combustion of VOCs.展开更多

Theoretical calculations of current carriers mobility have been carried out and they are in good agreement with experimental results. The contribution of current carriers scattering main mechanisms has been determined. Comparison of experimental and theoretical data has shown minor contribution of disorder scattering associated with the disordered arrangement of atoms in InPxAs1-x solid solutions. Contribution of the disorder scattering increases with increasing of InP composition in solid solutions system at fixed temperatures and weakens with lowering of temperature and never dominates. A maximal share of the ＂alloy＂ scattering observed in experimental samples of lnPxAs1-x solid solutions differs from the similar scattering in SiGe alloys. It does not exceed - 20% of total scattering at 300 K and - 10% at lower temperature. A relative small contribution of disorder scattering is important for the devices designed on the base of InPxAs1-x system.展开更多
