The series of polycrystalline Bi1-xLaxFeO3 (0 <= x <= 0.50) ceramic powders was successfully synthesized by sol-gel method in this paper. X-ray diffraction and Rietveld crystal structure refinement software (FULLPROF) were used as complementary method to study structure and hyperfine interactions of the samples. It was a clear indication of structural modification and symmetry changes brought about by La doping. The BFO is crystallized in rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure with space group R3c for x <= 0.10. With an increase of La content, within the range x = 0.10-0.20 a structural phase evolutes from rhombohedral to cubic Pm (3) over barm structure, and then transits to orthorhombic Pbnm structure on further increasing the La-doping to x = 0.50. The magnetization of La-doped samples is improved with the increase of La content. The coercive field (Hc) increases remarkably with an increase in La doping and x = 0.50 exhibits the highest Hc (20.2 kOe at room temperature) reported so far in any rare earth doped BFO, which will have a great potential for practical application in non-volatile memory devices. Moreover, high-field magnetization and remanence (Mr) increase with La doping content due to the gradual change in spin cycloid structure. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Highly efficiency blue emissive from Bi3+ions in zero-dimensional organic bismuth halide for white LED applications

Jun'an Lai, Daofu Wu, Peng He, Kang An, Yijia Wang, Peng Feng, WeiWei Chen, Zixian Wang, Linfeng Guo, Xiaosheng Tang

Summary: Zero-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halides (OMHs) are gaining attention in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes due to their broad emission band and high photoluminescence quantum yield. This work synthesized a zero-dimensional organic tetraphenylphosphonium bismuth chloride (TBC) that showed efficient blue light emission, with the emission mechanism attributed to the transition of Bi3+ ions. White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) were fabricated using TBC, along with green-emitting and red-emitting single crystals, achieving single-component white emissions. These findings demonstrate the different emission mechanism of ns2 ions-based OMHs and highlight the potential of bismuth-based OMHs in WLEDs applications.

Study on the wear resistance and mechanism of AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys

Xuewei Liang, Yunhai Su, Taisen Yang, Zhiyong Dai, Yingdi Wang, Xingping Yong

Summary: The revolutionary design concept of high-entropy alloys has brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of advanced metal materials. In this work, AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy flux cored wires were prepared by combining the design idea of a high-entropy alloy with the characteristics of flux cored wire. AlCr-CuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys were prepared using gas metal arc welding technology. The wear properties of the alloys were analyzed, and the phase composition, microstructure, strengthening mechanism, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results show that the alloys exhibit a dendritic microstructure with BCC/B2 + FCC phases. Increasing Ti content leads to the precipitation of Laves phase. The alloys show improved microhardness and wear resistance due to the precipitation of coherent B2 and Laves phases. However, excessive Ti addition results in the increase of Laves phase and reduced wear resistance of the alloys.

Micro-alloying effects of Ta and B on nano-oxides and grain boundaries in 13CrWTi-ODS ferritic alloys

Jianning Zhang, Jing Li, Yiren Wang, Xiaodong Mao, Yong Jiang

Summary: We conducted a study on the formation of ultra-fine Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides in Ta+B micro-alloyed 13CrWTi-ODS alloys using electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. The Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides were found to be mainly Y2(Ti,Ta)2O7, with an average size of 7 nm and a number density of 6.8 x 1023 m-3. Excess boron was found to enhance the adhesion of some low-sigma grain boundaries but weaken the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface, while excess tantalum enhanced the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface but caused serious degradation of grain boundaries.
