Comparative Dielectric Behavior of PBFe 1/2 Ta 1/2 O 3 and NaNbO 3 :Gd Relaxor-Like Crystals

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
I P. Raevski, S A. Prosandeev, U Waghmare, V V. Eremkin, V G. Smotrakov, V A. Shuvaeva
Experimental data obtained for PBFe 1/2Ta 1/20 3 (PFT) and NaNbO 3:Gd (NaNbGd) single crystals show a diffused dielectric permittivity peak that is inherent to relaxor ferroelectrics. However some deviations from the normal relaxor properties were also

Displacive Phase Transition in SrTiO 3 Thin Films Grown on Si(001)

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
F S. Aguirre-Tostado, A Herrera-Gomez, Joseph Woicik, R Droopad, Z Yu, D G. Schlom, E Karapetrova, P Zschack
Polarization dependent x-ray absorption fine structure measurements performed at the Ti K edge together with x-ray diffraction have been used to study the local structure in SrTiO3 thin films grown epitaxially on Si(001). SrTiO3 layers on Si(001) are found

Dopant Location Identification in Nd 3+ -Doped TiO 2 Nanoparticles

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
W Li, A I. Frenkel, Joseph Woicik, C Ni, S I. Shah
Doping large bandgap semiconductors is typically done in order to enhance photocatalytic, photovoltaic and other chemical and optoelectronic properties. The identification of dopant position and its local environment is essential to exploring the doping

Effects of Bond Coat Surface-Roughness on Residual Stresses of Thermal Barrier Coating Systems

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
C H. Hsueh, J Haynes, M Lance, P Becher, M Ferber, Stephen A. Langer, W Carter, W R. Cannon, Lin-Sien H. Lum
The adherence of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is dependent on mechanical interlocking at the interface between the ceramic top coat and the underlying metallic bond coat. A rough bond coat surface is required in order to establish

Effects of Solution pH and Surface Chemistry on the Post-Deposition Growth of Chemical Bath Deposited PbSe Nanocrystalline Films

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Shaibai K. Sarkar, Shifi Kababya, Shimon Vega, Hagal Cohen, Joseph Woicik, A I. Frenkel, Gary Hodes
Chemical bath deposited PbSe films were subjected to post-deposition treatment with aqueous (typically 0.25 - 0.5 M) KOH. For films deposited using a citrate complex, this treatment resulted in dissolution of surface lead oxides (seen from XPS and EXAFS

Elastic Modulus Measurements in Plasma Sprayed Deposits

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Jay S. Wallace, J Ilavsky
A technique has been developed to characterize the elastic modulus of zirconium oxide-8% yttrium oxide plasma sprayed deposits. A commercial hardness indenter has been modified to record load-displacement as a spherical ball is elastically loaded onto the

Electron Backscatter Diffraction Investigation of a Nano-Crystalline Pt Thin Film

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T Maitland, X Han, Mark D. Vaudin, G R. Fox, M Coy
A polycrystalline Pt thin film deposited on a cut Si single crystal wafer coated with SiO2 and a TiO2 adhesion layer was studied using automated electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Integration of the EBSD detector and a scanning electron microscope
