Yttrium iron garnet particles were synthesized in two different ways: first, in an ammonium nitrate melt (ANM) and second, via a solid-state reaction (SSR) route. The structural and magnetic properties of the samples were compared using XRD, SEM and dc magnetization measurements. It was observed for the ANM technique that the phase formation of YIG starts at 1000 degrees C and then develops with increasing temperature and sintering times. The saturation magnetization, M(s), increases sharply with increasing annealing temperature and then saturates at around 23 emu g(-1) above 1100 degrees C, while the coercivity decreases due to the increasing particle size. An almost single-phase sample was obtained through ANM route by annealing for 2 h at 1300 degrees C, after which the YIG fraction in the SSR sample was only 0.34, with M(s) = 7.08 emu g(-1). The average particle sizes of the ANM samples were calculated using experimentally determined M(s) values. It appeared that they vary from the sub-micron to the micron range, depending on the sintering temperature, and this coincides with the values determined from the SEM micrographs. These samples have homogeneous structures, small grains, good magnetic properties, and do not contain massive agglomerates. Therefore, the synthesis of YIG via the ANM technique represents another alternative to the SSR route.

Conducting polymers of decanedioic acid bis-(4-pyrrol-1-yl-phenyl) ester Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2004-05-15) A dipyrrolyl monomer was synthesized via the reaction between 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenol and decanedioyl dichloride. The electrochemical behavior of this monomer was studied. Polymerization of decanedioic acid bis-(4-pyrrol-1-yi-phenyl) ester (DAPE) was achieved by chemical and constant current electrolyses methods. Copolymerization of DAPE with thiophene was performed by constant potential electrolysis in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB), dichloromethane-TBAFB, solvent-electrolyte couple...
A comparative ab initio study of the ferroelectric behaviour in KNO3 and CaCO3 Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Alpay, S. P. (IOP Publishing, 2007-12-12) Potassium nitrate exhibits a reentrant phase transformation, where a metastable ferroelectric phase (gamma-KNO3) is formed upon cooling from high temperature. The layered structure of this ferroelectric phase is composed of alternating layers of potassium ions and nitrate groups; wherein, a central nitrogen atom is coordinated by three equilateral triangular oxygen atoms. The group layer is located less than midway between the cation layers, giving rise to a polar structure. From a structural perspective, t...
Light illumination effect on the electrical and photovoltaic properties of In6S7 crystals Qasrawi, AF; Hasanlı, Nızamı (IOP Publishing, 2006-05-17) The electrical and photoelectrical properties of In6S7 crystals have been investigated in the temperature regions of 170-300 K and 150-300 K, respectively. The dark electrical analysis revealed the intrinsic type of conduction. The energy band gap obtained from the temperature-dependent dark current is found to be 0.75 eV. It is observed that the photocurrent increases in the temperature range of 150 K up to T-m = 230 K and decreases at T > T-m. Two photoconductivity activation energies of 0.21 and 0.10 eV ...
Synthesis, crystal structure and characterization of new transition metal compounds of bromophenols: Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenolato) di(N-methylimidazole)M(II) (M=Co, Cu) Camurlu, P; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Tatar, L; Kisakurek, D; Ulku, D (Wiley, 2005-03-01) Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenolato)di(N-methyl imidazole)M(II), where M stands for cobalt and copper metals, was synthesized via reaction of the corresponding metal sulphate and 2,4,6-tribromophenolate in aqueous media in the presence of N-methyl imidazole and sodium hydroxide. Although various crystallization procedures were applied only cobalt complex was obtained as single crystals. The Co(II) ion has a distorted octahedral enviroment involving two O atoms and two N atoms of the Bis(2,4,6-tribromopbenolato)di(N...
