Abstract Ultra-high-density zircon (ZrSiO 4 ) ceramics were prepared using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique of nanopowder with addition three different agents, i.e., Bi 2 O 3 , V 5 and B . The effect each agent SPS parameters (temperature pressure) on phase composition, microstructure, thermal mechanical properties evaluated. identified crystalline phases sintered monoclinic zirconia....

MgTe2O5 ceramics were prepared by solid-state route. These materials were sintered in the temperature range of 640–720 °C. The structure and microstructure of the compound was investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The dielectric properties of the ceramics were studied in the frequency...

Europium doped transparent lead fluorophosphate glass ceramics successfully were prepared with heat treatment of precourse glasses at temperature above glass transition (Tg). X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiment evidenced the formation of PbF2 nanocrystals in glassy matrix. The emission spectra investigation indicate that considerable amount of Eu3+ ions were trapped in crystalline phase, and the...

A novel NaAgMoO4 material with spinel-like structure was synthesized by using the solid state reaction method and the ceramic sample was well densified at an extreme low sintering temperature about 400°C. Rietveld refinement of the crystal structure was performed using FULLPROF program and the cell parameters are a = b = c = 9.22039 Å with a space group F D -3 M (227). High performance microwav...

The dielectric, piezoelectric and elastic coefficients, as well as the electromechanical coupling factors, of NaNbO3 submicron-structured ceramics have been obtained by an automatic iterative method from impedance measurements at resonance. Poled thin disks were measured from room temperature up to the depoling one, close to 300oC. Dielectric thermal behaviour was determined also for unpoled ce...

Introduction and Background: Ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic materials, such as alumina, beryllia, or glassceramic, whose final characteristics are produced by subjection to high temperatures. Nanomaterials is a rapidly growing area of ceramics [1-3] and can be classified into the following categories: Nano-particles submicron or ultra micron size particles; Nano-fibers – nanometer (nm) siz...

We report here experimental results of yield strength and stress relaxation measurements of transparent MgAl2O4 nano-ceramics at high pressure and temperature. During compression at ambient temperature, the differential strain deduced from peak broadening increased significantly with pressure up to 2 GPa, with no clear indication of strain saturation. However, by then, warming the sample above ...

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) nanopowders with spherical-shaped morphology, perovskite structure and an average size of 20 nm were successfully synthesized. The prepared PZT nanopowders were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique. Single-...
