Nanocrystalline zirconium oxide powder has been prepared by the glowing combustion method using sucrose as the fuel and zirconyl nitrate as an oxidant in aqueous solution. The oxidant-to-fuel ratio was optimized (0.2) to prepare nanocrystalline zirconia. The influence of calcination temperature on the phase evolution of zirconia was also studied. The prepared powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy, particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and surface area analysis. Powder XRD pattern itself clearly revealed the presence of metastable tetragonal phase at room temperature. Raman spectrum revealed the presence of both tetragonal and monoclinic phases. TEM and surface area studies confirmed that the particles were in the nanoregime (5-30 nm).

Microwave dielectric characterization and densification mechanism analysis of CaO-B2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramic/Al2O3 composites for LTCC applications

Zilong Xiong, Wenzhuo Xue, Mujun Li, Feihu Tan, Yupeng Chen, Hongyu Yu

Summary: In this study, CBS glass/Al2O3 composites were developed for LTCC applications based on a CaO-B2O3-SiO2 (CBS) glass system with a high boron content. The study revealed that the softening of glass and interfacial reaction between the glass and Al2O3 were the two most important factors affecting LTCC's densification process. Real-time shrinkage rate of LTCC during sintering was successfully simulated, and it was proven that the formation of the CaAl2(BO3)O phase played a significant role in reducing glass viscosity and promoting dense structure formation. The resulting LTCC composite exhibited excellent performance for high-frequency applications.

Response of nonstoichiometric pyrochlore composition Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1 to electronic excitations

Saurabh Kumar Sharma, Vinita Grover, Rakesh Shukla, Abid Hussain, Ambuj Mishra, Pawan Kumar Kulriya

Summary: In this study, the disordering caused by swift heavy ion irradiation in two different compositions of pyrochlore structures was investigated. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze the samples before and after irradiation. It was found that both compositions underwent amorphization due to irradiation, with a slower rate observed in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1. The irradiation-induced modified track region in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1 consisted of defect-rich pyrochlore structure, anion-deficient fluorite structure, and amorphous domains.

Multifunctional tantalum disilicide ceramics sintered at high temperature and high pressure

Yajie Yu, Shi He, Zhengang Zhang, Haihua Chen, Peipeng Jin, Binnian Zhong, Linhui Zhang, Liping Wang, Cheng Lu

Summary: Silicide ceramics, including tantalum disilicide (TaSi2), are known for their exceptional physical properties but are limited in practical applications due to their inherent brittleness at room temperature. In this study, we successfully improved the mechanical properties of TaSi2 ceramics and increased their electrical conductivity by modifying the preparation methods and sintering conditions. These findings provide valuable insights for future applications of TaSi2 and the design of advanced ceramic materials.

Exploring the Ln-O bonding nature and charge characteristics in monazite in relation to microwave dielectric properties

Jian Li, Jia Liu, Yongcui Zhang, Wei Sun, Yang Wang, Haitao Wu, Ling Li, Chuanbing Cheng, Yingying Wang, Ke Tan, Futian Liu

Summary: Microstructure design plays a crucial role in regulating the microwave dielectric properties of materials, however, the understanding of frequency temperature stability and related micromechanism remains limited. In this study, a combination of first-principles calculations and experimental observation was used to investigate the correlation among sintering behavior, crystal structure, bonding nature, and microwave dielectric properties of LnPO(4) (Ln = Eu, Pr) ceramics. The research findings systematically clarify the optimized effect and micromechanism of lanthanides on the dielectric properties of monazite ceramics, providing insights into the design and enhancement of microwave dielectric materials.

Effect of fiber orientation on tribological properties of fiber-reinforced C/C-SiC composites mated with ceramic ball

Wenqian Pan, Xizhen Xia, Wei Zhou, Yang Li

Summary: The study investigates the frictional and wear behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites with different fiber orientations mating with ceramic balls. The results show that fiber orientation significantly affects the friction and wear properties of the composites. Pads with randomly arranged fibers demonstrate better friction stability and lower wear volume, potentially suitable for bearing material applications. The research also explores the factors influencing the formation of continuous tribo-film and identifies abrasive wear and oxidation wear as the dominant wear mechanisms for the friction pairs.

Effect of resting time on rheological properties of glass bead suspensions: Depletion and bridging force among particles

Yanliang Ji, Simon Becker, Zichen Lu, Alexander Mezhov, Regine von Klitzing, Schmidt Wolfram, Dietmar Stephan

Summary: This study reveals the significant influence of resting time on the rheological properties of cement suspensions, which is closely related to non-absorbed polycarboxylate superplasticizers (PCEs) size variation. Adsorbed PCE during resting tends to bridge particles instead of dispersing them, leading to an increased yield stress.

Multiscale understanding the effect of K/Na ratio on electrical properties of high-performance KNN-based ceramics

Yifeng Huang, Xin Wang, Yinchang Ma, Xiang Lv, Jiagang Wu

Summary: This study investigates the effect of K/Na ratio on the phase structure, ferroelectric domains, and piezoelectric properties of potassium sodium niobate (KNN)-based ceramics. It reveals that high Na+ content leads to large ferroelectric domains, while high K+ content results in local polarity heterogeneity and distinct dielectric relaxational behavior. The balanced local polarity and stress heterogeneities contribute to improved piezoelectricity.
