We report the direct observation of oxide ion dynamics on both nano- and picosecond timescales in isostructural Bi2O3-derived solid electrolytes Bi0.852V0.148O1.648 Bi0.852P0.148O1.648 using quasielastic neutron scattering. Comprehensive ab initio molecular simulations allowed us to reproduce experimental timescale data by directly simulating scattering function at various temperatures. Our ana...

The aim of this study is to investigate the gamma ray radiation absorption properties bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), and determine effect lead (PbO) additive in shielding Bi2O3. For reason, parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), linear (LAC), half value layer (HVL), tenth (TVL) mean free path (mfp) were calculated theoretically for Bi2O3, PbO, 50% Bi2O3-50%PbO. all results obtained by u...

in this study, an attempt has been made to study the effect of bi2o3 addition as nucleating agent on the liquid-liquid phase separation, crystallization and dielectric properties of samples prepared by sintering and crystallization of powdered glass in pbo-tio2-b2o3-sio2 glass-ceramic system using dta, xrd, sem and lcr techniques. the results showed that the addition of bi2o3 resulted in a quit...

Bi2O3-based glasses are very attractive from the viewpoints of low-melting, high refractive index, and crystallization, and the research on their glasses and glass-ceramics is at the frontiers of glass science and technology. Non-linear optical Bi2ZnB2O7 crystal lines with a high orientation were patterned in 3Sm2O3-30.3Bi2O3-33.3ZnO-33.3B2O3 glass by using a laser-induced crystallization techn...

MAGNETO-OPTICAL current transformers (MOCT) based on the Faraday Effect provide numerous advantages over the conventional transformers. However the commonly used materials in MOCT are crystals that are very expensive and temperature dependence thus will cause many problems for the output signal. Cost efficient diamagnetic PbO-Bi2O3-B2O3 (PBB) glass system is fabricated in this study, for the ai...

New data are presented on the phase equilibria and crystal chemistry of the binary systems Sr0-Bi203 and SrO-CuO and the ternary system SrO-Bi2O3-CuO. Symmetry data and unit cell dimensions based on single crystal and powder x-ray diffraction measurements are reported for all the binary SrO-Bi2O3 phases, including a new phase identified as Sr6Bi2O9. The ternary system contains at least four ter...

In ZnO-based low voltage varistor, the two essential features of microstructure determining its nonlinear response are the formation Bi-enriched active grain boundaries as well as a controlled ZnO grain size by secondary spinel-type phases. Besides, the microstructure and phase composition are strongly affected by the dopant concentration during sintering process. In this study, the optimal dop...

The high temperature treatment of kaolinite-muscovite alternate layers doped by bismuth oxide was studied by TGA and DTA, X ray diffraction, and electron microscopy (SEM). Thermal analyses shows that the two main transformation stages are the dehydroxylation of phyllosilicates and the structural reorganization of the whole assembly. During dehydroxylation, a progressive decrease of the structur...

In this paper, Bi2O3-doped (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) lead-free ceramics are prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction and analyzed studying the structure, ferroelectric, piezoelectric properties. It is found that doping of Bi2O3 increases proportion trigonal phase in KNN ceramics, thus enabling construction with an orthogonal–trigonal boundary at room temperature. At same t...
