Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) has gained a great interest over the past years as it exhibits more than one primary ferroic orders in a single phase. In the first part of this work, optimum parameters, such as reaction temperature, duration and concentration of mineralizer in the solution, for the production of bismuth ferrite particles via a hydrothermal method were determined. The second part involves the influence of Yb doping on the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3). Well-crystallized BiFeO3 (BFO) and Yb-doped BiFeO3 powders (Bi1-xYbxFeO3: x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.1) were successfully synthesized via a typical hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that powders have a distorted rhombohedral structure with a space group of R3c. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) studies indicated more or less cuboidal particles consisting of subparticles with different sizes. It was found that increase in Yb content retains the particle growth, therefore, reduces the size of these cuboidal particles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), on the other hand, showed the presence of oxygen content in the lattice which was increased from 7.04% to 39.97% in doped BiFeO3 powders, indicating that doping with Yb reduces oxygen deficiencies in the lattice and ensures the formation of more M-O-M bonds. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements revealed that the highest saturation magnetization value was achieved as 0.09 emu/g for 3 at% Yb-doped BFO showing weak ferromagnetic behavior. Ferroelectric measurements were also conducted to find remanent polarization (Pr) values of samples. Among all samples, the highest Pr value, 0.37 μC/cm2, was attained for 3 at% Yb-doped BFO. From dielectric measurements, it was proved that incorporation of Yb into BiFeO3 perovskite structure enhances formation of M-O-M bonds, therefore, the highest dielectric constant and lowest dielectric loss were achieved in case of Bi0.9Yb0.1FeO3.

Magnetization Studied as a Function of Temperature and Magnetic Field for Ferromagnetic Transition in DMNaFe Kilit Dogan, E.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01) Magnetization has been calculated as a function of temperature in the ferromagnetic phase of (CH3)(2)NH2Na0.5Fe0.5(HCOO)(3)denoted by DMNaFe as one of the metal formate framework by using molecular field theory. CalculatedM(T) is compared with the magnetization measured as a function of temperature (H = 10 Oe) in field-cooling and zero-field-cooling regimes from the literature, and a power-law analysis of the experimental data was performed for DMNaFe. Magnetization measured as a function of the magnetic fi...
Hydrothermal and microwave synthesis of boron phosphate, BPO(4) Baykal, Altan; Toprak, M; Kniep, R (2001-01-01) BPO4 was previously synthesized by the solid state reactions of (NH4)(2)HPO4 and B2O3 at 1000 degreesC and was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and IR methods. We have now succeeded in preparing BPO4 from H3BO3 and P2O5 using hydrothermal synthesis by heating at 160 degreesC for 2 days and obtained a single phase product. We observed that a microwave-assisted synthesis takes only 3 to 5 minutes to transform a solid mixture of (NH4)(2)B4O7. 4H(2)O, and solid H3PO4 Or B2O3 + P2O5 into the crystalline...

Cobalt ferrite supported platinum nanoparticles: Superb catalytic activity and outstanding reusability in hydrogen generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane Akbayrak, Serdar; Özkar, Saim (2021-08-15) In this work, platinum(0) nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of magnetic cobalt ferrite forming magnetically separable Pt-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles, which are efficient catalysts in H-2 generation from the hydrolysis of ammonia borane. Catalytic activity of Pt-0/CoFe2O4 nanoparticles decreases with the increasing platinum loading, parallel to the average particle size. Pt-0/CoFe2O4 (0.23% wt. Pt) nanoparticles have an average diameter of 2.30 +/- 0.47 nm and show an extraordinary turnover frequency of...
Photovoltaic Effect and Space Charge Limited Current Analysis in TlGaTe2 Crystals QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Yaseen, T. R.; Eghbariy, B.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2012-07-01) Anisotropic space charge limited current density analysis and photovoltaic effect in TlGaTe2 single crystals has been investigated. It is shown that, above 330 K, the crystal exhibits intrinsic and extrinsic type of conductivity along (c-axis) and perpendicular (a-axis) to the crystal's axis, respectively. The current density (J) is found to be space charge limited. It is proportional to the square and three halves power of voltage (V) along the a- and c-axis, respectively. Along the a-axis and at sufficien...
