We demonstrate an efficient method of fabrication for pure lead nanoparticles with non-oxidized surfaces, supported on perovskite lead strontium titanate particles with a size distribution from tens to several hundreds of nanometers. The fabrication method is based on o-precipitation and subsequent annealing in air at 600 degrees C. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the pure lead nanoparticles show structural fluctuations under intense electron-beam irradiation, like gold and platinum nanoparticles.

Synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction measurement was performed to investigate the size effect in ferroelectric nanosized (Pb0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 particles with various sizes ranging from 10 to 200 nm. The 200 and 002 Bragg reflections were separated using low energy synchrotron radiation x-rays. The peak profiles of the 002 reflections show a large broadening and asymmetry for all particle sizes compared with those of the 200 reflections. These anomalously wide and asymmetric peak profiles become marked for peaks with a large l. The aspect ratio of the lattice constants c/a and the atomic distance between the anions and cations decrease gradually in the vicinity of the surface of the particles, indicating that the asymmetrical profiles can be attributed to the formation of a gradational system.

YbFe<INF>2</INF>O<INF>4</INF> is a charge-ordered ferroelectric that exhibits coupling between magnetization and electric polarization near room temperature and crystallizes in a rhombohedral structure (R3m). This study presents an attempt to fabricate stoichiometric and epitaxial YbFe<INF>2</INF>O<INF>4-delta</INF> films with a nearly single-domain structure using an RF magnetron sputtering method. The (0001)-oriented epitaxial films of YbFe<INF>2</INF>O<INF>4-delta</INF> on YSZ (111) substrates via reactive sputtering method exhibited clear three-fold symmetry normal to the substrate without the formation of twin domains rotated by 60 degrees. The oxygen stoichiometry of the epitaxial YbFe<INF>2</INF>O<INF>4-delta</INF> was improved by controlling an oxygen partial pressure (P<INF>O<INF>2</INF></INF>) during the deposition. The films showed a sharp ferrimagnetic transition, and the transition temperature (T<INF>N</INF>) increased linearly to approximately 245 K with decreasing P<INF>O<INF>2</INF></INF>. The magnitude of magnetization of the obtained films was comparable to that of bulk single crystals. Further, the electron diffraction pattern of the stoichiometric films confirmed the presence of three-dimensional charge order, which is consistent with the behavior of the bulk crystals as well.

A BaTiO3-delta thin film with oxygen vacancies was prepared on a Pt/Al2O3 (0001) substrate by RF magnetron sputtering. The prepared thin film was preferentially grown in the [111] direction. The BaTiO3-delta thin film with a reduced interplanar distance (d(111)) exhibited the Ti3+ valence state of 4.4%, which is closely related to concentration of oxygen vacancies. The activation energy estimated from the Arrhenius plot of the electrical conductivity was approximately 61 meV. The electrical conductivity of similar to 10(-5) S/cm at room temperature did not depend on the oxygen gas partial pressure. The photoemission spectra exhibited the O-H bond peak and donor state near the Fermi level. These results indicate that the BaTiO3-delta/Pt/Al2O3 (0001) thin film has surface electron -proton mixed conduction at room temperature.

This paper reports the structural and optical investigations of the structural colour of the weevil
<italic>Lamprocyphus</italic>
<italic>augustus</italic>
. The photonic crystal structure within the weevil's scales was investigated using sequential focused ion-beam milling and scanning electron microscopy imaging. We carefully analysed the reconstructed three-dimensional structure to determine the unit cell of the photonic crystal. It was found that the cuticle network of the cubic unit cell perfectly matches the previously reported diamond-based network. However, different results were obtained for the crystal orientations of the small crystal domains that comprise the entire photonic crystal structure in the scales:
<monospace>&lt;111&gt;</monospace>
directions are highly preferred along the surface normal of the scale. This finding explains the fact that the scale is almost uniformly coloured despite the multi-domain structure. It is confirmed experimentally and theoretically that the wavelength range of the reflection band corresponds to the gap of the photonic band.

We decorated nano-crystalline LiNbO3 (LN) particles, which played the role of artificial solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs) on an active material, namely LiCoO2 (LC). Conventional one-step synthesis using metal organic decomposition (MOD) was used initially, but resulted in the presence of an undesired Li-rich compound, Li3NbO4 (L3N), along with a counterpart phase, Co3O4. Hence, we incorporated crystalline LN into the LC matrix via a two-step synthesis method. Treatment at 500–700 °C resulted in single-phase LN-decorated LCs with improved high rate capabilities. The improvement in the rate capability is related to the temperature dependencies of the two most important parameters: 1) the degree of LN crystallinity, which corresponds to the improvement in the polarization, and 2) the density of the triple phase junctions, which act as active Li ion pathways. The optimized capacity, 78 mAh/g at 20 C, of the specimen annealed at 600 °C was 20 C, which is approximately 1.7-fold larger than that of amorphous LN-decorated LC and is 2.6 times higher than that of bare LC. This implied the introduction of a dielectric polarization architecture had a greater impact on the improvement to the rate capability than Li transportation through the amorphous LN.

Well-crystallized epitaxial YbFe2O4 films were prepared on an alpha-Al2O3(001) substrate using an Fe3O4 buffer layer. Fe3O4 has a relatively small lattice mismatch with both YbFe2O4 and alpha-Al2O3. Electron diffraction analysis combined with transmission electron microscopy revealed the epitaxial relationship to be alpha-Al2O3[110](001) parallel to Fe3O4[211](111) parallel to YbFe2O4[110](001). Moreover, superlattice spots due the Fe2+-Fe3+ charge order state of YbFe2O4 were clarified. The Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio in YbFe2O4 was nearly stoichiometric. The film exhibited a ferrimagnetic transition at similar to 220K and a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic at room temperature. These results confirmed the good crystallinity and stoichiometry of the obtained YbFe2O4 films. (C) 2018 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

We report a possible charge ordering model of triangular mixed valence material YbFe2O4. It was found that a crystal synthesized with high stoichiometry on iron vacancy shows new and simple extinction rule in the superlattice reflections. The Laue class of the diffraction signal is expressed as 2/m. With the consideration of the charge neutrality and the superlattice signal of (1/3 1/3 0), we derived 5 possible charge ordering models of this material.

Levels of the conduction band minimum and the valence band maximum in ion-deficient BaTiO3 particles were investigated with optical band gap and ionization energy measurements. Though it is known that the quantification of the band structure in an insulator is difficult, due to the poor electrical conductivity of BaTiO3, systematic variation in the band energy levels was found that correlated with the introduction of vacancies. Photoelectron yield spectroscopy provided direct observation of the occupancy level of electrons, which is altered by the presence of oxygen and barium vacancies. In addition, the conduction band deviation from the vacuum level was determined by optical reflectance spectroscopy. Our results show that: (1) Introduction of oxygen vacancies forms a donor level below the conduction band. (2) The conduction band is shifted to a lower level by a larger number of oxygen vacancies, while the valence band also shifts to a lower level, due to the reduction in the density of O 2p orbitals. (3) Introduction of barium vacancies widens the band gap. Since barium vacancies can induce a small number of oxygen vacancies with accompanying charge compensation, this behavior suppresses any large formation of donor levels in the gap states, indicating that cation vacancies can control the number of both donor and acceptor levels.

Rare-earth iron oxides (RFe2O4) have attracting attention as new electronic device materials because of their numerous functionalities, such as electronic ferroelectricity, ferrimagnetism, and high infrared absorption. In this paper, nearly monophasic YbFe2O4 films were prepared on alpha-Al2O3 (001) substrates by the spin coating method using an aqueous-based YbFe2O4 solution. The solution was composed of a stoichiometric ratio of Yb(CH3COO)(3) and Fe(NO3)(3) with excess chelating agents. After heat treatment above 800 degrees C, well-crystallized and highly (001)-oriented YbFe2O4 started to epitaxially form on the substrate under controlled oxygen partial pressure with H-2/CO2 gas mixtures. X-ray pole figure analysis confirmed the following epitaxial relationship: YbFe2O4[100](001)//alpha-Al2O3[100](001). Moreover formation of an Fe3O4 interracial layer between YbFe2O4 and alpha-Al2O3 was detected by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Presence of the Fe3O4 interracial layer seemed to release the lattice misfit with the substrate. The Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio in the obtained YbFe2O4 films was nearly stoichiometric and the indirect bandgap assigned to Fe2+ -&gt; Fe3+ charge transfer excitation was found to be similar to 0.4 eV by optical spectroscopy. A clear magnetic transition from the paramagnetic state to the ferrimagnetic state occurred at similar to 230 K. (C) 2016 Author(s).

We give a brief review of the experimental research on a triangular mixed valence iron oxide RFe2O4 (R = Y, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Sc or In). Interest in this material has been increasing every year because of the fascinating but complicated interaction between spin, charge and the orbital state of iron ions in frustrated geometry. Reports collected in this review cover experimental research on crystallography, chemical analysis, bulk and thin film preparation, magnetic, dielectric, diffraction with neutrons, x-ray and electron, optical and x-ray absorption, Mossbauer spectroscopy and other methods that incorporate the use of modern scientific technology and knowledge. The report mainly focuses on experimental facts since 1990 on which an early review by Siratori has been published (Kimizuka et al 1990 Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths vol 13, ed K A Gschneidner Jr and L Eyring

Photoinduced growth of the antiferromagnetic state in the ferrimagnetic phase were demonstrated in double layered Fe oxide LuFe2O4 by 12 fs infrared pulse under inter-layer excitation. Inter-layer charge imbalance successively induces the changes of charge/magnetic structures interacting with local Fe-O stretching and inter-layer sliding phonons through the exchange interaction.

Various types of iron oxides loaded on ferroelectric BaTiO3 and nonferroelectric ZrO2 supports have been studied by Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy to investigate the valence instability of iron oxides affected by ferroelectric polarization fluctuation. Although the iron oxide loaded on ZrO2 shows a typical reduction process at high vacuum and high temperature, the iron oxide loaded on BaTiO3 shows an opposite process, i.e., iron oxide oxidization. We propose the dynamics of band structures of ferroelectrics in the paraelectric phase to understand this phenomenon. The oscillation of band bending causes electron transfer from an iron oxide to a ferroelectric support. This result suggests that the surface charges of ferroelectrics are useful in developing new functional materials with metal compounds. (C) 2014 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

The magnetocapacitance effect was investigated using impedance spectroscopy on single crystals of LuFe2O4. The intrinsic impedance response could be separated from the interfacial response and showed a clear hysteresis loop below T-Ferri similar to 240 K under the magnetic field. The neutron diffraction experiment under the magnetic field proves the origin of the dielectric property related to the motion of the nanosized ferromagnetic domain boundary. These results imply that the modification of the microscopic domain structure is responsible for the magnetoelectric effect in LuFe2O4. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.117602

We synthesized well-crystallized ilmenite-type FeGeO3 to investigate its structural and magnetic properties. Ilmenite-type FeGeO3 were synthesized by high-pressure synthesis technique using a Kawai-type multi-anvil apparatus. Their structural and magnetic properties were examined by XRD analysis with Rietveld refinement, transmission electron microscopy, Mossbauer spectroscopy and SQUID-magnetization measurements. The subsequent annealing after the high-pressure synthesis was effective to improve the crystallinity of the ilmenite-type FeGeO3. The primary particle size of ilmenitetype FeGeO3 was similar to 15 nm. Some particles seemed to be covered with non- or poorly crystalline phase even after the annealing, and others showed a lamellar microstructure parallel to the (0 0 1) plane. Theilmenite-type FeGeO3 showed typical antiferromagnetic behavior with the Neel temperature of 79 K. (c) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The change of electrical and lattice dynamical properties of ferroelectric Ca0.6Sr0.4Bi4Ti4O15 (CSBT) ceramics were studied by doping with 0.1 wt.% of CeO2 and MnO2. The loss tangent and the AC conductivity decreased markedly due to the reduction of charge carrier. The activation energy of doped-CSBT increased owing to the reduction of intrinsic defects in the crystal lattice. For doped and pure CSBT, the appearance of thermal hysteresis and the satisfaction of the Cure-Weiss law by the dielectric susceptibility data assigned the first order nature of a ferroelectric phase transition. Especially in ferroelectric phases, the soft optic phonon mode showed the significant softening towards T-1 (at T-1, the square of soft mode frequency omega(2)(s) -&gt; 0) and omega(2)(s) was approximately proportional to T-1-T, where T-1 is similar to 70A degrees C above T-C = 672A degrees C, demonstrated a first order displacive nature of a ferroelectric phase transition. The invariance of lattice dynamical feature indicated that the crystal lattice did not influence markedly by the doping ions.

An exchange bias (EB) behavior has been observed for multiferroic RFe2O4 (R Y, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, and In). The materials with small R3+ ions (R = Tm, Yb, Lu, and In) exhibit large EB fields (greater than or similar to 1 kOe) below similar to 100-150 K. This property is rooted in a magnetically glassy state, arising from the competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic domain interactions. In addition, the EB field tends to be more enhanced for smaller R3+ ions. Hence, the EB is controlled by the substitution at the R-site in this series.

The variation of AC dielectric constant in the function of the DC magnetic fields was found in low oxygen vacant LuFe2O4 single crystal in which the electric polarization arise from the polar charge ordering. These magneto-electric coupling should be explained by a novel mechanism where the boundary motion of the polar charge ordered domain is affected by the magnetic (spin) domain boundary motion.

Dynamical properties of protonic conductor K3H(SeO4)(2) were examined by using various techniques, Brillouin scattering, quasi elastic, and inelastic neutron scattering. No significant anomaly was observed in longitudinal and transverse acoustic modes. In each experiment, a Lorentzian shaped spectrum was observed at extremely low energy, (less than 0.1 meV). The spectra in Brillouin and inelastic neutron scattering at the zone boundary originate from rotational modes of SeO4 tetrahedra at Gamma- and L-point, respectively. The peak positions, shapes, and widths of the spectra are consistent with each other, while the integrated intensities show complementary temperature dependence. The lifetimes of those modes, about 10(-10) s, agree with the stationary time of conduction protons obtained from Q dependence of width in quasi elastic neutron scattering.

The dynamical properties of protonic conductor K3 H (SeO4) 2 were examined by Brillouin scattering. Both longitudinal-acoustic modes (c33 and c11) and a transversal mode (c44) monotonously depend on temperature, and no soft mode was observed. A central mode with a width about 6 GHz was observed above phase-transition temperature, TC. The central mode has a symmetry Eg corresponding to the rotational mode of SeO4 tetrahedra. The Eg mode is compatible with a zone-boundary soft mode, L3, which accounts for the symmetrical change from R 3̄ m to C2/c. The intensity of the central mode declines in the vicinity of TC. This shows that chaotic rotational motion changes into a zone-boundary soft mode with decreasing temperature. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

The size effects on the successive phase transition of lanthanum doped ferroelectric bismuth titanate Bi3.5La0.5Ti3O12 (BLT) nano-particles have been investigated. A dielectric anomaly appears around 520 degrees C for all the size of nano-particles, corresponds to the low temperature monoclinic to orthorhombic phase transition that remains unaffected by the decrease of particle size. The optical soft phonons show a considerable broadening due to the reduction of particle size and completely overdamped below 34 nm. These results demonstrate a size induced ferroelectric orthorhombic to paraelectric tetragonal phase transition. It is confirmed by the temperature-dependence of the soft optical phonon that the first order displacive nature of the orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition is hold even in nano-system.

The effects of MnO2 doping on the microstructure and phase transition of ferroelectric CaBi4Ti4O15 (CBT) ceramics with x mol % of MnO2 (CBT-xM; x = 0, 1, 3) have been studied. The single-phase crystal structure and the plate-like grain morphology are clearly observed for all compositions, while extended grains are observed with x = 3. The dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss show that the Mn2+ and Mn3+ ions are preferentially incorporated into the A- and B-sites, respectively, up to a limiting extent of approximately x = 2. The ac conductivity decreases and the activation energy increases with increasing Mn content owing to the decrease in the number of conducting carriers and increase in covalence, respectively. The Curie temperature T-C is independent of MnO2 doping within the experimental accuracy, and the dielectric constant satisfies the Curie-Weiss law above T-C. The temperature dependence of the soft mode with x = 0 and 1 shows a significant softening towards T-1 similar to T-C + 113 degrees C (at T-1, the square of the soft mode frequency omega(2)(s) -&gt; 0). omega(2)(s) is approximately proportional to T - T-1. These findings indicate that the displacive nature of the phase transition is not affected by MnO2 doping, at least below x = 3. (C) 2009 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

An efficient fabrication method for pure lead nanoparticles supported on lead-based perovskite particles has been developed using co-precipitation. The annealing of the co-precipitates in air at 600 degrees C produced lead nanoparticles with non-oxidized and non-contaminated surfaces. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that the pure lead nanoparticles with an average size of similar to 4 nm showed structural fluctuations under an intense electron beam irradiation, similar to gold and platinum nanoparticles. This result implied that the lead nanoparticles prepared by this co-precipitation process are expected to be used as catalysts.

Dynamical properties of the polar nanoregions (PNRs) of a relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.29PbTiO(3) single crystal are studied by using Brillouin scattering to elucidate the mechanism of the diffuse phase transition. The temperature dependence of Brillouin scattering shows anomalies at three temperatures: at T-d related to the appearance of the PNRs, at T* associated with the growth of the PNRs, and at T-f related to the macroscopic structural phase transition; all these temperatures are closely related to the dynamical behavior of the PNRs. The thermal hysteresis around T-f in the longitudinal acoustic properties can be interpreted by considering the growth process of the PNRs. From the anomalous acoustic properties, the relaxation time of the polarization fluctuation is evaluated. It is found that the relaxational process responsible for the central peak originates from the polarization fluctuation that is coupled with the longitudinal acoustic mode.

Bi4 - xLaxTi3O12 (BLT) nano-particles have been synthesised by the chemical co-precipitation method utilizing a polymeric precursor. The particle size decreases from 100 to 40 nm with the increase of La content (x = 0 1) owing to the increase of a reaction temperature. The axial ratio a/b of BLT decreases with the increase of La content reflects a relaxation of structural distortion from its ideal tetragonal structure. A monoclinic to orthorhombic transition occurs at La 0.75. The existence of the soft mode in Raman spectra above x = 0.75 demonstrates a displacive nature of orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition. No noticeable size effect on physical properties is observed.

Analysis based on the spectra has shown anomalous behaviors at Burns' temperature T-d, freezing temperature T-f those are related to a development of polar nanoregions (PNRs). The PNR must play a key role in the relaxor nature, and obtained results provide new insights into the relaxational dynamics in the PNRs and into how they develop below Tf.

The soft optic modes responsible for the ferroelectric phase transitions were clearly observed. The A(1) (1TO) mode, which softens toward T, contains four subpeaks. The frequencies of these subpeaks depend to a great extent on the Ca content and the temperature. These behaviors are discussed on the basis of the anharmonicity of lattice vibrations.

Dielectric and light scattering studies on a Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.29PbTiO(3) single crystal have been conducted in a wide temperature range to clarify the relaxational properties of polar nanoregions (PNRs). The temperature dependences of the relaxation time observed in light scattering spectra show two characteristic temperatures: associated with enhancement of the correlation length in the PNRs T* and related to a temperature-induced macroscopic structural phase transition Tf. These results are closely related to the behavior of the PNRs. We suggest that two relaxation processes are attributed to the central peak and that the origins of the observed relaxation processes are two types of switching processes of dipole moments in the PNRs. In addition, the activation energy at 0 K has been evaluated as H-0B = 2.11 x 10(3) K.

Nanosized perovskite (Pb0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 powders have been studied by Raman scattering to characterize the dielectric property derived from the particle size effect. All the optical phonons were assigned while referring to previously reported Raman spectra of PbTiO3. The frequencies of the soft E(1TO) and A, (1TO) modes show a slight hardening with a decrease in particle size. The size dependences of the clamped dielectric constants along the a and c axes characterized by the effect of the phonon confinement are evaluated by the Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation using the observed frequencies of polar modes with E(x, y) and A(1)(z) symmetries, respectively.

Raman spectroscopy of lead-free piezoelectric (1-x)(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-xSrTiO(3) ceramics and (Na1-yKy) NbO3 ones sintered by the Spark-Plasma-Sintering method have been performed to investigate the dynamical property in the intermediate phase of x = 0.05. From the comparison of Raman spectra between (1-x)(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-xSrTiO(3) and (Na1-yKy)NbO3 at room temperature, the overdamped mode which became soften was found in the intermediate phase at x = 0.05. Although it is difficult to assign the mode because of using ceramics samples, this result has a possibility that the overdamped mode includes the soft mode observed in the orthorhombic phase.

The MnO2 doping effect on ferroelectric phase transitions of CaBi4Ti4O15 ceramics has been studied by Raman scattering, dielectric measurements and scanning electron microscope. The Curie temperatures show monotonic decrease as the content of MnO2 increases. Softeing of low frequency optical modes has been observed for all the compositions, while the Raman scattering decreases markedly as the content of MnO2 increases.

We have studied the aging effect of bismuth sodium titanate (BNT) ceramics with point defects. With aging BNT ceramics, we have observed slight decrease in BNT permittivity. Permittivity vs. aging time is well reproduced by assumed Debye-relaxation. It is found that there are two relaxation processes in this aging effect. The diffuseness of phase transition is determined from the temperature dependence of permittivity. The diffuseness vs. composition shows the correlation clearly.

We have studied structural and vibrational properties of Ca-doped lead titanate ceramics. The vibrational soft modes associated with the ferroelectric phase transition have been observed. A(1)(1TO) mode, which is one of the soft modes, has four subpeaks due to anharmonicity. Composition and temperature dependences of subpeak frequencies of the A(1)(1TO) mode behaves as expected from theoretical calculation. Some subpeaks remain above the Curie temperature. This is attributed to the point detects and the internal strain.

Structural phase transitions in relaxor ferroelectric materials remain to be one of the most puzzling issues in solid-state physics. In the present work, we have investigated relaxational and vibrational properties of a relaxor ferroelectric 0.71Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.29PbTiO(3) single crystal by means of inelastic light scattering measurements. Analysis based on the spectra has showed anomalous behaviors at Bum's temperature T-d, freezing temperature T-f, those are related to a development of polar nanoregions (PNRs). PNR must play a key role in relaxor nature, and obtained results provide insight into the relaxational processes in the PNR and into how they develop below T-f.

Brillouin and Raman scatterings of a 0.71Pb(Ni1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.29PbTiO(3) single crystal have been measured to investigate broadband inelastic spectra. The two different central peaks related to fast and slow relaxation processes have been observed separately. These two processes are attributed to the thermally activated switching of polarization in polar nanoregions. By the analysis of modified superparaelectric model, the activation energies of fast and slow relaxation processes are determined to be 3.66x10(3) and 4.31x10(2) K, respectively. The fast process with the lower activation energy probably originated from 180 degrees switching, whereas the slow one with the higher energy from non-180 degrees switching.

Brillouin scattering of water-ethanol binary mixtures have been measured in the temperature range from room temperature to 343 K as a function of ethanol concentration. A maximum appears at 12 ethanol mol% in the sound velocity and at about 50 mol% in the absorption coefficient all at room temperature. Raman scattering of heavy water-ethanol mixtures was also measured at room temperature as a function of concentration. The concentration range from 0100 mol% is divided into three ranges and the behavior of the acoustic properties was discussed with three cluster models; the circular clusters are dominant in the concentration range of 0-12 mol%, layered clusters in the range of 1250 mol%, pure ethanol chain clusters in the range of 50-100 mol% at room temperature. These results are consistent with the concentration variation of OH stretching band of Raman spectra and the results in literatures.
