Summary: Different annealing temperatures were used to prepare nanocrystalline Li0.35Ni0.3Fe2.35O4 ferrites through sol-gel auto-combustion method. The annealing temperature significantly affected the structure and magnetic properties of the synthesized Li-Ni ferrites, leading to an increase in grain size. The changes in saturation magnetization and coercivity were related to the occupation of ions in the crystal lattice and the size of the grains after annealing.

Summary: This study reports a novel synthesis of shuttle-shaped NiCuZn ferrites through electrospinning and subsequent sintering, and systematically investigates the microstructural evolution and its effect on magnetic properties upon annealing at temperatures ranging from 500 to 1000 degrees C. The results show that the crystallite size decreases and the grain size increases with increasing sintering temperature, leading to an upward trend in saturation magnetization until a certain point where the crystalline structure and morphology change, resulting in lowered saturation magnetization.

Summary: The effect of Ti substitution on the microwave dielectric properties and structural characteristics of CaMgSi2O6 ceramics was investigated. It was found that the increase in Ti content led to the formation of CaTiO3, and the permittivity was correlated with ionic polarizability. The quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were significantly influenced by lattice stability. Lattice energy and cation bonding also affected the microwave dielectric properties, and adjusting these parameters improved the performance of the ceramics.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between the effect of R-cation radii and the structural, vibrational, optical, and dielectric properties of rhombohedral rare earth aluminates. The results show that the decrease in R-cation radii leads to structural distortion, an increase in energy bandgap, and a decrease in dielectric constant.

Summary: The effects of sintering temperature on the properties of polycrystalline Ni0.3Cu0.2Zn0.5Fe2O4 and Ni0.3Cu0.2Zn0.5Sc0.05Fe1.95O4 compounds have been thoroughly studied. It was found that the different sintering temperatures and scandium doping levels have significant impact on the structural, morphological, magnetic, dielectric, and electrical characteristics of these spinel ferrites. The investigated ferrites exhibit potential for various practical applications due to their high initial permeability, low magnetic loss, and low electrical conductivity across a wide frequency range.

Summary: Two ferrite series, one consisting of nanosize samples prepared by co-precipitation and the other consisting of bulk samples sintered at 1000 degrees C, were synthesized and analyzed. The nanomaterials exhibited larger crystallite size, theoretical density, and porosity compared to the bulk materials. Aggregation of nanoparticles was observed in the nanoscale samples, while the bulk specimens had limited surface area. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of the spinel phase and variations in cation occupation ratios. Optical characterization indicated that the absorption cutoff frequency decreased with increased chromium content. The average optical bandgap was 3.6 eV for nanosamples and 4.6 eV for bulk materials. The strongest photoluminescence emission was observed at wavelengths between 415 and 460 nm, with red-shifted emission peaks in both bulk and nanoscale materials. Sintering resulted in an increase in photoluminescence.

Summary: The effect of Zr4+ substitution for Ti4+ on the phase evolution and microwave dielectric properties of (Cu1/3Nb2/ 3)0.25Ti0.75-xZrxO2 ceramics was investigated. With the increase of Zr substitution, the ceramics showed a phase transition from a tetragonal rutile phase to an orthorhombic srilankite phase. The Zr substitution greatly influenced the microstructure of the ceramics, particularly for compositions where x > 0.1. The microwave dielectric properties of the ceramics were closely related to the phase transition process, with the optimum properties obtained at x = 0.3.

Summary: Lead-free xBiFeO(3)-(1-x)BaTiO3-SrTiO3 solid-solution ceramics were synthesized and their structure, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties were studied. It was observed that the dielectric relaxation process triggered by polar nanoregions (PNRs) related to the Fe2+/Fe3+ valences may cover the relaxation process induced by oxygen vacancies (OVs) at specific temperatures. The changes in relaxation peak heights indicated that the concentration of PNRs increased while the concentration of OVs decreased with increasing annealing temperature and BiFeO3 content. Cole-Cole diagram analysis suggested that the dielectric relaxations were influenced by changes in grain interior, grain boundary, and the electrode/ceramic interface.

Summary: By calculating the activation energy, analyzing XPS energy spectrum, and conducting oxygen treatment experiment, we investigated the origin of high temperature dielectric relaxation behavior of ST-xZS ceramics. We concluded that the relaxation in pure ST ceramics is caused by the migration of Vo. However, as the ZS content increases, the relaxation related to Vo migration gradually transforms into the influence of Ti4+ ion polarization, and the possible causes of relaxation behavior dependence are analyzed in detail.
