Single-crystal structure refinements on lithium lanthanum zirconate (LLZO; Li7La3Zr2O12) substituted with gallium were successfully carried out in the cubic symmetry space group I [Formula: see text]3d. Gallium was found on two lithium sites as well as on the lanthanum position. Due to the structural distortion of the resulting Li6.43(2)Ga0.52(3)La2.67(4)Zr2O12 (Ga-LLZO) single crystals, a redu...

Lanthanum (La) and the lanthanides (Ln) are the elements, numbered 57-71 of the periodic table. La and Ln occur more frequently than their name implies.

A laboratory-scale procedure was developed to obtain lanthanum oxide from spent fluid catalytic cracking catalyst, commonly used in the heavy crude oil process. Two different solids, consisting mainly of silica, alumina, and a certain amount rare earth elements, were leached under several conditions recover earths. Nitric acid leaching lead highest recovery lanthanum, reaching percentage greate...

Lanthanum (La) doped Ceria (CeO2) has attracted considerable interest as a candidate material for thermal barrier coating (TBC) because of its low thermal conductivity and potential capability to be operated above 1250°C. In this study, La2Ce2O7 powder was synthesized through the ball mill method. The crystal structure of La3+ su...

A PVC membrane electrode based on 1-[({[(butylsulfunyl)carbothioyl]disulfanyl} carbothioyl)sulfanyl]butane as a suitable ion carrier for determination of lanthanum(III) ion was prepared. This electrode revealedsuch a good selectivity toward La3+ ion over a wide variety of other metal ions. Some experimental parametersuch as membrane composition, nature, and amount of plasticizer, the amount of ...

This method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of aluminum(III) in dialysis concentrates using atomic absorption spectrometry after coprecipitation with lanthanum phosfate. The analytical parameters that influenced the quantitave coprecipitation of analyte including amount of lanthanum, amount of phosfate, pH and duration time were optimized. The % recoveries of the analyte io...

The effects of tetragonal strain on the electronic and magnetic properties of strontium-doped lanthanum manganite, La(2/3)Sr(1/3)MnO(3) (LSMO), are investigated by means of density-functional methods. As far as the structural properties are concerned, the comparison between theory and experiments for LSMO strained on the most commonly used substrates shows an overall good agreement: the slight ...

in this work, for the first time, the rheological properties of nanofluids of lanthania nanoparticles (nps) in ethylene glycol (eg) as functions of shear rate, volume fraction, and temperature were measured. the results showed that both eg and the nanofluids behave as non-newtonian fluids at lower shear rates and transform to newtonian fluids at higher shear rates. the values of viscosity for b...
