Apatite-type lanthanum silicates of general formula La9.33+2x/3(SiO4)6O2+x have appeared recently as a new promising class oxide ion conductors with potential applications electrolytes for solid fuel cells (SOFCs). They been shown to demonstrate relatively high conductivity at moderate temperatures well low oxygen partial pressures. In this paper, the diffusion pathways and conduction mechanism ions in these phases are reinvestigated. This is done by means atomic scale computer modeling...
We investigated the crystallographic structure of FePS3 with a layered using transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. found that forms rotational twin common axis along c*-axis. The high-resolution images revealed boundaries were positioned at van der Waals gaps between layers. narrow bands dark contrast observed in bright-field below antiferromagnetic transition temperature, TN ≈ 120 K. Low-temperature diffraction showed lattice distortion; a- b-axes shortened...
We have successfully synthesized the highly c-axis-oriented polycrystals of apatite-type lanthanum silicate by reactive diffusion technique. When La2SiO5/La2Si2O7 couples were isothermally heated at 1773–1873 K for 5–100 h, apatite readily produced in form a layer interfacial boundaries. The annealed characterized using optical microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and electron probe microanalysis. product layers composed prismatic crystallites, with their elongation...
Overbonding of the channel oxygens in apatite-type lanthanum silicates was found to be a key for high oxide-ion conductivities by present single-crystal neutron and X-ray diffraction studies.
We investigated the crystal structure and ferroelectric domains of Bi4Ti3O12 (BTO) by means transmission electron microscopy (TEM) single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. From extinction rule, we determined that space group in phase BTO is P1a1 rather than B2cb B1a1 which have been proposed previously. successfully refined based on P1a1. The 180° 90° domain structures were observed [001]-zone dark-field TEM imaging. In structure, one component polarization vector parallel to a-axis. An annular...
The crystal structure of Zr 2 Al 3 C 4 was refined by the Rietveld method from conventional X‐ray powder diffraction data. hexagonal (space group P 6 mc , Z =2) with a =0.334680(6) nm, c =2.22394(3) and V =0.215731(6) nm being isomorphous that U . final reliability indices were R wp =8.57%, p =6.06%, S =1.32. showed an intergrowth NaCl‐type ZrC slabs separated ‐type layers.
Sub-milliampere operation was realised in 1.55 µm wavelength high index-coupled buried heterostructure distributed feedback (BH-DFB) lasers consisting of deeply etched double-quantum-well wirelike active regions. A threshold current Ith as low 0.7 mA and an external differential quantum efficiency 23%/facet were obtained for a cavity length 200 with cleaved facets stripe width 2.3 µm.
