Preparation of Bi4Ti3O12 particles by crystallization from glass

Preparation and optical nonlinearities of transparent bismuth-based glass ceramics embedded with Bi2O3 microcrystals

“…2(b) illustrate the growth of crystals before and after heat treatments, and four Bragg peaks were clearly observed in the spectrum of TGC2 and indexed to a Bi 2 O 3 (PDF No. : 76-2478) phase which agrees quite well with Sunahara's report [14]. When treating duration reached 9 h (TGC4), these peaks become stronger and sharper, and the decrease in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of peak at 28.6°from 0.337 to 0.216°indicates the growth of crystals which can be confirmed by Scherrer equation [15] as follows:…”

Effects of surface-modification with Bi2O3 on the thermal stability and photoinduced charge property of nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 and its enhanced photocatalytic activity

“…recombination [21,22]. Recently, the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 nanoparticle synthesized by sol-gel processes is improved through compounding a proper amount of Bi species in our group [23].…”

Preparation of homogeneous Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 by a rapid-quenching technique and its compositional fluctuation

“…A mixture of powders of ZrO 2 and TiO 2 was pressed into a rod-shaped powder compact and sintered at 1000 o C for 1 h. One end of the sintered rod was put into a flame of arc discharge [16]. The melt at the end of the rod dropped into a gap of rotating aluminum rollers, forming a film of rapid quenched material.…”
