Superconductor Y-247 (Y2Ba4Cu7O15-?) with adding silver (Ag) by using the wet-mixing method has been done. The synthesis process was carried out by calcination at 600o C for 3 hours and sintered at 925o C for 10 hours. Variations in the increase in the addition of Ag used were Ag0.05, Ag0.1, Ag0.15 and Ag0.2. Characterization of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), showed an increase in the addition of Ag resulting in a decrease in the volume fraction, where the volume fractions obtained consecutive were 55.0%, 51.3%, 50.9% and 46.3%. Increasing the addition of Ag results in an increase in the lattice parameter values in the direction of the a axis which is 3.8247 Å, 3.8291 Å, 3.8292 Å, 3.8293 Å, decreasing the lattice parameter values in the b axis direction which is 3.8426 Å, 3.8415 Å, 3.8409 Å, 3.8383 Å and decreasing the lattice parameter values in the direction of the c axis are 49.2174 Å, 49.2022 Å, 49.1881 Å, 49.1761 Å. Analysis of the results of the characterization of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), the particle size obtained was 225.47 nm, 202.88 nm, 190.68 nm and 172.22 nm.

The synthesis of CuCrO2 crystals by mixing CuO and Cr2O3 has been carried out using the solid reaction method at a temperature of 1200 0C. The characterization of the structure used XRD and analyzed using GSAS software. The results of characterization using XRD showed that no other phase occurred. This is evidenced by the absence of other phases from the results of refinement of measurement data with reference data and a value of χ 2 which is 1.222. The lattice parameter values resulting from the refinement of the CuCrO2 X-ray diffraction pattern are a = b = 2.9715 Å and c = 17.1104 Å with a cell volume of 130.584 Å 3. In addition to the lattice parameter values, the distance between atoms was also obtained, both Cu - O, Cr - Cr, and Cr - O.

The conventional solid-state reaction method was utilized to prepare a series of superconducting samples of the nominal composition Bi2-xPb0.3WxSr2Ca2Cu3O10+d with 0≤x≤0.5 of 50 nm particle size of tungsten sintered at 8500C for 140h in air . The influence of substitution with W NPs at bismuth (Bi) sites was characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dc electrical resistivity. Room temperature X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that there exists two phases, i.e. Bi-(2223) and Bi-(2212), in addition to the impurity phases of (SrCa) 2Cu2O3, Sr2Ca2Cu7Oδ, Ca2PbO4, CaO, and WO. It was found that the crystallographic structure of all samples was orthorhombic. Lattice parameter values and the volume fraction of the (2223)-phase of the prepared samples were also calculated. The superconductivity transition temperature (Tc) for samples subjected to substitution with W NPs was found to be higher than that for the pure sample. The optimal value of W NPs content in (Bi, Pb)-2223 system was found to be at x=0.3.

This research was conducted to determine the effect of CaCO3 levels on the formation of superconducting phase BPSCCO - 2212 by calculating the level of purity of the phases formed and looking at the microstructure. The variation of CaCO3 was 0.95, 1.00, 1.05 and 1.10 mole using the wet mixing method. The samples were calcined at 800 ° C for 10 hours, and sintered at 820 ° C for 20 hours. Synthesized samples were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRD’s chacterization results show that the level of purity of the formed phases increases with increasing Ca levels with maximum point at BPSCCO-2212/1.10 mole. The highest volume fraction was 79,06% in the BPSCCO-2212/1.10 sample. While the lowest volume fraction was 72.10% in the BPSCCO-2212/0.95 sample. Meanwhile, the highest degree of orientation was 20.59% at BPSCCO-2212/0.95. The lowest degree of orientation was 8.46% at BPSCCO-2212/1.10. SEM’s chacterization results show of all samples have been oriented altought not perfect yet and have relatively little space between slabs (voids).

In this investigation, mullite ceramics were produced by mixing Al2O3and amorphous silica xerogel (SX) extracted from sago waste ash. The composition was prepared by adding an amount from 0 to 80 mol% of Al2O3into SX. The samples were dry pressed and sintered in the temperature range between 900°C and 1200°C. Their properties have been characterized on the basis of the experimental data obtained using thermal analysis (DSC/TGA, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that two major differences become obvious when comparing the samples loaded by the smaller and larger amount of Al2O3. First, cristobalite formation is retarded in the sample loaded by the larger amount of Al2O3. Second, at 1200°C, the observed volume fraction of mullite is higher in the sample loaded by the larger amount of Al2O3. The DSC analysis indicates that the mullite crystallization takes place at 1200°C for 60 mol% Al2O3loaded SX sample as confirmed by the XRD pattern. It was found that there was not a complete reaction of mulitization for sample sintered up to 1200°C.

This paper reports on the results of Yb substitution for Ca on the superconductivity and structural properties of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2-xYbxCu3Oy superconducting samples with x = 0.000, 0.025, 0.050, 0.100 and 0.200 which prepared by coprecipitation (COP) method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron (FESEM), electrical and resistivity measurement by four-probe method. It was found that the substitution of Yb decreased the critical temperature (Tc zero), critical current density (Jc) and volume fraction of Bi-2223 phase. The samples have Tc zero in the range 77 to 100 K. Tc zero gradually decreased with an increase in Yb concentration, corresponding to small change of the carrier concentration. Jc was measured to be 5.7512 A/cm2 for pure sample and decreased to 4.1910 A/cm2 for x = 0.025 at 77 K. The crystallographic structure was found to change slightly from tetragonal to orthorhombic in Yb substituted samples. The lattice parameter c of Yb samples decreased due to the incorporation of Yb3+ (0.858 Å) with smaller ionic size compare to Ca2+ (0.99 Å). From the SEM observation, the grain connectivity became weak with smaller plate-like grain for x > 0.025 Yb concentration resulting in the decreased of Jc.

The superconducting material BPSCCO-2212 with doping Pb = 0,2 has been synthesized by the wet mixing method. Calculation is caried out at 800 °C for 10 hours. While sintering is done at 825 °C, 830 °C, 835 °C and 840 °C for 20 hours. The synthesis result were characterized by XRD X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). The XRD spectrum analysis results that have been processed using celref, show that in general the samples produced have formed the BPSCCO-2212 phase (indicated the presence of Bi-2212 peaks) and have been oriented (indicated the existence of peaks with h = k = 0, l even number). For the calculation result obtanced the highest volume fraction value at 830 °C sintering temperature with a value FV = 66,97 % and the highest degree of orientation at 825 °C with a value of P = 76,54 %. The results of the SEM photo recorder generally show that the crystals formed are oriented.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

We report the growth and characterization of quaternary AlGaInN. A combination of photoluminescence (PL), high-resolution x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) characterizations enables us to explore the contours of constant- PL peak energy and lattice parameter as functions of the quaternary compositions. The observation of room temperature PL emission at 351nm (with 20% Al and 5% In) renders initial evidence that the quaternary could be used to provide confinement for GaInN (and possibly GaN). AlGaInN/GaInN MQW heterostructures have been grown; both XRD and PL measurements suggest the possibility of incorporating this quaternary into optoelectronic devices.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.
