© 2020 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.The influence of Yb doping on the structural, magnetic and electrical properties of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) was investigated. Well-crystallized BiFeO3 (BFO) and Yb-doped BiFeO3 powders (Bi1-xYbxFeO3: x = 0, 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 17.32% 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) value 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.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of PZT ceramics doped with strontium and lanthanum Kalem, Volkan; Çam, İbrahim; Timucin, Muharrem (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-01) PZT based piezoelectric ceramics obtained by doping with various levels of Sr2+ and La3+, designated as PSLZT, were prepared by conventional processing techniques. The effects of Sr2+ and La3+ additions, and that of the Zr/Ti ratio on microstructure, on phase constitution, and on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. XRD data revealed that all PSLZT compositions had perovskite structure in which increasing Sr and/or decreasing Zr/Ti ratio increased the tetragonality. In PSLZT cerami...
Catalytic effect of alkaline earth oxides on carbothermic formation of hexagonal boron nitride ÇAMURLU, HASAN ERDEM; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; SEVİNÇ, NACİ (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) Effect of MgO, CaO and BaO on carbothermic formation of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was investigated. B(2)O(3-)C mixtures containing alkaline earth oxide additives were reacted at 1500 degrees C for 30-120 min in nitrogen atmosphere. Formed phases in the reaction products were determined by powder-XRD analyses, and amounts of the constituents were determined by chemical analyses. Particle size and morphology of the formed h-BN powders were examined by FESEM and particle size distributions were determined...
Thermoluminescence properties of Al doped ZnO nanoparticles IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-15) ZnO nanoparticles doped with aluminum (AZO nanoparticles) were investigated using low temperature thermoluminescence (TL) and structural characterization experiments. TL experiments were performed on AZO nanoparticles in the temperature range of 10-300 K. TL curve presented one intensive peak around 123 K and two overlapped peaks to intensive peak around 85 and 150 K for heating rate of 0.1 K/s. Curve fitting and initial rise methods were used to find the activation energies of associated trapping centers. ...
Refractive index, static dielectric constant, energy band gap and oscillator parameters of Ga2SeS single crystals Qasrawi, A. F.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Wiley, 2007-09-01) The optical properties of Bridgman method grown Ga2SeS crystals have been investigated by means of room-temperature transmittance and reflectance spectral analysis. The optical data have revealed direct and indirect allowed transition band gaps of 2.49 and 2.10 eV, respectively. The room-temperature refractive index, which was calculated from the reflectance and transmittance data, allowed the identification of the dispersion and oscillator energies, static dielectric constant and static refractive index as...
