Simple and new wet chemical routes are adopted for the synthesis of tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanopowders having two different morphologies such as spherical and rod-like. Acid catalyzed exothermic reaction and a structure directing reagent have been used to control the formation of spherical and rod shaped nanoparticles, respectively. Thermal analysis and FTIR spectral data have been used to confirm the formation of the intermediate and the ultimate reaction products. X-ray and Raman spectroscopic data indicate the monoclinic structure of both forms of the particles. Rod shaped WO3 particles exhibit better crystallinity and low specific surface area compared to those exhibited by spherical particles. Band gaps are found to be nearly identical irrespective of the morphology. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Tracing Local Disorder in Near-Infrared-Upconverting Crystals of Li+-Doped Gd2O3 through the Gd(III)-O Bond Distance

Preeti Verma, Subhajit Raut, Debasish Sarkar, Parasmani Rajput, Manvendra N. Singh, Sujay Chakravarty, Rajendra Sharma, Supratim Giri

Summary: This study investigates the effect of local disorder on the bulk properties of near-infrared-upconverting (UC) crystals. By analyzing the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) using high-energy synchrotron total scattering, the study found that the photoluminescence intensity of the crystals first increases and then decreases with increasing Li+ concentration. The local disorder is connected to the Gd(III)-O bond distances and is manifested in the tensile lattice strains. The results suggest that local disorder is fundamentally connected with lattice strain in UC crystals at high concentrations of symmetry perturbing agents.

Nanoscale reinforcement efficiency analysis in Al2O3-MgO-C refractory composites

K. Sarath Chandra, Debasish Sarkar

Summary: This study proposes a materials design parameter, Ri, to classify the reinforcements in the Al2O3-MgO-C refractory system based on their performance. The experimental results show that both pure YAG and EG\YAG nano-powders are effective reinforcements, but EG\YAG is more efficient than pure YAG. This efficiency is attributed to the formation of a core-sheath microstructure with EG dispersed YAG framework.
