New combustion synthesis technique for the production of (InxGa1-x)2O3 powders: Hydrazine/metal nitrate method
نویسنده
چکیده
A new low-temperature method to produce (InxGa1−x)2O3 (x 4 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) powders with high purity, high chemical homogeneity and improved crystallinity in the as-synthesized state has been developed. This procedure produced finely divided powders through an exothermic reaction between the precursors. The process starts with aqueous solutions of In(NO3)3 and Ga(NO3)3 as the precursors and hydrazine as the (noncarbonaceous) fuel. The combustion reaction occurred when heating the precursors between 150 and 200 °C in a closed vessel filled with an inert gas (Ar), which yields (InxGa1−x)2O3 directly. These materials were compared with powders prepared by a more typical combustion synthesis reaction between nitrates and a carbonaceous fuel at a higher ignition temperature of 500 °C.

New low-temperature methods to produce GaN:Eu and Ga2O3 :Eu (0 x 1) highly-luminescent powders are presented. These procedures yield finely divided powders through exothermic reactions between the precursors. The preparation of Eu-doped Ga2O3 powders was achieved using a new combustion synthesis technique (hydrazine/metal-nitrate method). The process starts with aqueous solutions of Eu(NO3)3 an...
