Ni2As2O7 pyrochlore nanomaterial: Solid state synthesis, crystal structure determination, crystal phase growth study and physical properties
Nanostructured Ni2As2O7 semiconductor samples were synthesized by a solid state method among As2O3 and Ni(NO3)2.6H2O raw materials at 650 °C (S1) and 750 °C (S2) as reaction temperatures. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique and F...
متن کاملبررسی خواص الکترونی و مغناطیسی (A2Ti2O7(A=Er,Tb
The geometrical frustration in the magnetic pyrochlore oxides causes interesting properties at low temperatures in these materials. Therefore, we studied two challenging materials, Er2Ti2O7 and Tb2Ti2O7, using an ab intio method, based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). To take into account the f electrons coulomb interactions correctly, we employed DFT+U, a Hubbard method correction. As spin-...

متن کاملOpposite correlations between cation disordering and amorphization resistance in spinels versus pyrochlores
Understanding and predicting radiation damage evolution in complex materials is crucial for developing next-generation nuclear energy sources. Here, using a combination of ion beam irradiation, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, we show that, contrary to the behaviour observed in pyrochlores, the amorphization resistance of spinel compounds correlates directly with the ener...
متن کاملMechanism of enhanced optical second-harmonic generation in the conducting pyrochlore-type Pb2Ir2O7-x oxide compound.
The structural, electronic, and optical properties of pyrochlore-type Pb(2)Ir(2)O(6)O(0.55)('), which is a metal without spatial inversion symmetry at room temperature, were investigated. Structural analysis revealed that the structural distortion relevant to the breakdown of the inversion symmetry is dominated by the Pb-O' network but is very small in the Ir-O network. At the same time, gigant...
