Thermogravimetric And Electrical Conductivity Studies Of Mg-Doped Lacro₃ And La-Doped Srtio₃, Brian Keith Flandermeyer Jan 1984

Thermogravimetric And Electrical Conductivity Studies Of Mg-Doped Lacro₃ And La-Doped Srtio₃, Brian Keith Flandermeyer

Doctoral Dissertations

"Mg-doped LaCrO3 and La-doped SrTiO3 are perovskite compounds that display electrical conductivity which is a function of partial pressure of oxygen (po2). It has been proposed that acceptor-doped LaCrO3 becomes highly resistive at low po2's due to ionic compensation of the acceptor-dopant present by oxygen vacancies. SrTiO3 has been thought to absorb O2 into a crystallographic shear structure and exsolve strontium vacancies which can then ionically compensate the La present and give a high resistance at high po2's.

Given these models, relationships between weight loss and conductivity vs. po2 are developed for both these …


Thermally Stimulated Current Studies Of Barium Titanate Capacitors, Patrick Donald Martin Jan 1984

Thermally Stimulated Current Studies Of Barium Titanate Capacitors, Patrick Donald Martin

Masters Theses

"Thermally stimulated polarization current (TSPC) and thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements were used to study sample current behavior based on the thermally activated release of trapped charges and polarization mechanisms. Samples studied included laboratory-prepared barium titanate samples (the barium to titanium ratio ranging from 0.96 to 1.04) and commercial ceramic capacitors. Both TSPC and TSDC showed the current spectra of the barium titanate samples were a function of crystal structure and the Ba/Ti ratio. The TSPC/TSDC results of the ceramic capacitors showed differences between capacitor formulations. TSPC/TSDC results also showed differences between good capacitors (physically and electrically) and capacitors …


Preparation And Properties Of Phosphorus Oxynitride Glasses, Mary R. Reidmeyer Jan 1984

Preparation And Properties Of Phosphorus Oxynitride Glasses, Mary R. Reidmeyer

Masters Theses

"The preparation techniques and properties of phosphorus oxynitride glasses produced from sodium metaphosphate and nitride compounds are reported. A preliminary survey of possible nitride additives to sodium metaphosphate is presented along with an extended study of the two most promising nitrides, AIN and Mg₃N₂. Properties reported include: nitrogen content, dissolution rate in water, thermal expansion coefficient, softening point, glass transformation temperature, density, refractive index, microhardness, and infrared absorption"--Abstract, page 1.
