    Notizen: I investigate how different sources of information influence the diffusion of pharmaceutical innovations. In prescription-drug markets, both advertising and scientific information stemming from clinical trials can affect physicians' prescription choices. Using novel indices of clinical-research output, I find that both marketing and scientific evidence directly influence the diffusion process in the antiulcer-drug market, with marketing having a more pronounced influence. I also find evidence that clinical outputs are important drivers of firms' marketing efforts, affecting sales indirectly. Taken together, the direct and indirect effects of science on demand imply strong private incentives for clinical research. I conclude that product-market competition in the pharmaceutical industry is shaped by both advertising rivalries and scientific rivalries. Moreover, drug advertising may perform an important informative function.

    Notizen: The paper studies the effects of bundling on the bidding strategies and seller revenues in auctions when the bidders have common values for the objects. Bundling of objects before the auction reduces the problem of the winner's curse, and the bidders bid more aggressively. This does not mean that a bundled auction is always better for the seller's revenue. Indeed, there is another effect that makes the bundled auction preferable (from the seller's standpoint) if and only if the number of bidders is small. While this is the only effect present in an independent-private-values model, it does not vanish when bidders have pure common values for the objects. The paper concludes that a bundled auction is unambiguously better for the seller than separate auctions when the number of bidders is small.

    Notizen: There are a growing body of theoretical work, wide anecdotal evidence, and a few large-scale empirical studies supporting the view that business firms quite rarely change their organizational structure, a phenomenon usually referred to in the literature as structural inertia. The present paper aims to analyze empirically the determinants of structural inertia and organizational change. As far as we know, this work constitutes the first attempt to directly address such issues through econometric estimates based on a large, longitudinal dataset at plant level. For this purpose, we consider changes of the organizational structure within a sample composed of 438 Italian manufacturing plants observed from 1975 to 1996. More precisely, we specify and test a duration model of the likelihood of an individual plant changing the number of hierarchical tiers after a spell r, provided that no change has occurred up to T. We also analyze the direction of change, distinguishing increases from decreases of the number of managerial layers. We consider a set of plant- and industry-specific explanatory variables that are expected to induce or oppose organizational change. The findings show that the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies and new human-resources management practices favors organizational change. On the contrary, the presence of sunk costs and the extent of influence activities figure prominently in explaining structural inertia of business organizations.

    Notizen: A simple model of open source software (as typified by the GNU-Linux operating system) is presented. Individual user-programmers decide whether to invest their own effort to develop a software enhancement that will become a public good if so developed. The effect of changing the population size of user-programmers is considered; finite and asymptotic results are given. Welfare results are presented. It is shown that whether development will increase when applications have a modular structure depends on whether the developer base exceeds a critical size. Potential explanations of several stylized facts are given, including why certain useful programs don't get written.

    Notizen: This paper examines the effect of memory loss on the continuity of behavior. We consider a player (individual or firm) who remembers previous actions but not underlying rationales. In a stable environment, relative to a full-recall scenario, memory loss increases the probability of following old policies (inertia). In a volatile environment, memory loss can decrease this probability (impulsiveness). The model provides a memory-loss explanation for some documented psychological biases, implies that inertia and organizational routines should be more important in stable environments than in volatile ones, and provides empirical implications relating memory and environmental variables to economic decisions.

    Notizen: Syndication arises when venture capitalists jointly invest in projects. We model and test two possible reasons for syndication: project selection, as an additional venture capitalist provides an informative second opinion; and complementary management skills of additional venture capitalists. The central question is whether venture capitalists are engaged primarily in selection or in managerial value added. These alternatives imply contrasting predictions about comparative returns to syndicated and standalone investments. Our empirical analysis, using Canadian data, finds that syndicated investments have higher returns, favoring the value-added interpretation. We also discuss risk sharing and project scale as possible reasons for syndication.

    Notizen: In the context of an employment relationship, I present an argument suggesting that it is more efficient for the boss to own the productive assets. The idea is that a conflict between productivity and depreciation is internalized if the player deciding what an asset is used for also has residual claims. An empirical test finds evidence consistent with this. By asking whether the boss should own the assets, the paper reverses the reasoning from the literature in which it is argued that the owner has power and thus is the boss.

    Notizen: Cooperative equilibria can be supported in a repeated game when players use trigger strategies. This paper tests how well trigger strategies explain behavior in two-person experimental games. Reducing payoffs for choices larger than the Cournot level induces smaller average outputs, behavior generally consistent with trigger strategy models. Reducing payoffs for choices well above the Cournot level will not affect behavior if actions are consistent with a trigger strategy involving longer-lived, less intense punishment phases (the grim-reaper strategy), but would matter for trigger strategies with short-lived but intense punishment phases. Results show that behavior is most consistent with the former.

    Notizen: Knickerbocker (1973) introduced the notion of oligopolistic reaction to explain why firms follow rivals into foreign markets. We develop a model that incorporates central features of Knickerbocker's story—oligopoly, uncertainty, and risk aversion—to establish the conditions required to generate follow-the-leader behavior. We find that rival foreign investment will make risk-neutral firms less inclined to move abroad once its rivals have done so. We show that Knickerbocker's prediction relies on risk aversion and derive an expression for the minimum amount of risk aversion needed to generate oligopolistic reaction.

    Notizen: Horizontal mergers between firms that have different costs are examined. Owners can transfer technology to an acquired firm and decide whether to consolidate or operate their firms as separate entities in the product market. Thus mergers can exhibit both efficiencies and a market-power effect. The prices of target firms are determined via a bargaining game. An equilibrium sequence of mergers entails the largest firm targeting the next largest rival firm. Initially, this sequence of mergers with technology transfers involves no consolidations and improves welfare. Ultimately, the acquisitions lead to consolidation and may decrease total welfare.

    Notizen: It is often claimed that (i) managers work too hard on operational issues and do not spend enough effort on strategic activities, and (ii) something can be done about this by introducing nonfinancial performance measures, as for instance with a balanced scorecard. We give an explanation for both claims in a formal model. The distortion toward operational effort arises because with financial performance measures strategic effort can only be rewarded in the future. But renegotiation-proof long-term compensation plans entail too weak variable components in the future. This problem can be reduced by introducing performance measures that help to disentangle strategic and operational effects.

    Notizen: Central to so many accounts of post-war Japan, the keiretsu corporate groups lacked economic substance from the start. Conceived by Marxists committed to locating “domination” by “monopoly capital,” they found an early audience among western scholars searching for evidence of culture-specific group behavior in Japan. By the 1990s, they had moved into mainstream economic studies, and keiretsu dummies appeared in virtually all econometric regressions of Japanese industrial or financial structure. Yet the keiretsu began as a figment of the academic imagination, and they remain that today. Regardless of the keiretsu definition used, cross-shareholdings within the “groups” were trivial, even during the years when keiretsu ties were supposedly strongest. Neither does membership proxy for “main bank” ties. Econometric studies basing “keiretsu dummies” on the available rosters produce predictably haphazard and unstable results. In the end, the only reliably robust results are the artifacts of the sample biases created by the definitions themselves.

    Notizen: We use survey data and field research to investigate the effects of employee involvement practices on outcomes for blue-collar workers in the auto-supply industry. We find these practices raise wages by 3–5%. The causal mechanism linking involvement and wages appears to be most consistent with efficiency-wage theories, and least consistent with compensating differences. We find no evidence that employee involvement affects plants' survival or employment growth.

    Notizen: The modern corporation is characterized both by a separation of ownership from management and by managerial incentives that often include strategic elements in addition to the standard incentive elements. Despite the importance of these two features in the agency and corporate-governance literatures, they are absent in the treatment of the firm in the patent-licensing literature. The analysis in this paper shows how, by simply taking into account these two features of the modern corporation, it is possible to offer a new explanation for the use of royalties in licensing agreements.

    Notizen: This paper introduces a theory of network incentives in managed health care. Participation in the plan's network confers an economic benefit on providers; in exchange, the plan expects compliance with its protocols. The network sets a target for the number of outpatient visits in an episode of care. A provider failing to satisfy the target may be penalized by the plan's attempt to direct patients to other providers within its network. There is an equilibrium in which every provider in the network uses the target. We test the theory by observing behavior of providers before and after the introduction of managed mental health care in a large, employed population. Managed care consisted of price reductions, utilization review, and creation of a network. Quantity per episode of care fell sharply after initiation of managed care. We identify a network effect in our empirical work. The results indicate that in this case, network incentives account for most of the quantity reduction due to managed care.

    Notizen: In this field-based study, we interview top- and middle-level managers at Insteel Industries and conduct statistical analysis of firm-level data in order to shed light on whether activity-based costing (ABC) provides new information to managers and whether activity-based management (ABM) significantly influences product and customer-related decisions. We find that after the ABC analysis, Insteel undertook a number of process improvements that resulted in significant cost savings. Additionally, Insteel displayed a higher propensity to discontinue or increase prices of products and discontinue customers that were found comparatively unprofitable in the ABC study. Thus we provide empirical evidence that ABC influences both strategic and operational managerial decisions.

    Notizen: Managed care organizations control costs through restrictions on patient access to specialized services, oversight of treatment protocols, and financial incentives for providers. We investigate possible effects of such practices on the care patients receive by studying frequencies of in-hospital complications. We find significant differences in complication rates between managed care and fee-for-service patients. We investigate the sources of this variation by comparing probabilities of complications among patients with different types of managed care coverage and patients treated in different hospitals. For several patient categories, the differences in outcomes we find appear to arise not from differential treatment of patients within hospitals or from heterogeneity in patients, but from variations in care across hospitals that tend to treat patients with different insurance types.

    Notizen: One of the mechanisms that are implemented in the cost containment movement in the health care sectors in western countries is the definition, by the third-party payer, of a set of preferred providers. The insured patients have different access rules to such providers when ill. The rules specify the copayments patients must pay when using an out-of-plan care provider. This paper studies the competitive process among providers in terms of both prices and qualities. Competition is influenced by the status of providers as in-plan or out-of-plan care providers. Also, there is a moral hazard of provider choice related to the trade-off between freedom to choose and the need to hold down costs. It is possible to achieve the first-best allocation by an appropriate definition of the reimbursement scheme when decisions on prices and qualities are taken simultaneously (as in primary health care sectors). In contrast, some type of regulation is needed to achieve the optimal solution when decisions are sequential (as in specialized health care sectors). We also derive normative conclusions on how price controls should be implemented in some European Union member states.

    Notizen: If an illness is not contractible, then even partially insured consumers demand treatment for it when the benefit is less than the cost, a condition known as moral hazard. Traditional health insurance, which controls moral hazard with copayments (demand management), can result in either a deficient or an excessive provision of treatment relative to ideal insurance. In particular, treatment for a low-probability illness is deficient if illness per se has little effect on the consumer's marginal utility of income and if the consumer's price elasticity of expected demand for treatment is large relative to the risk-spreading distortion when these are evaluated at a copayment that brings forth the ideal provision of treatment. Managed care, which controls moral hazard with physician incentives, can either increase or decrease treatment delivery relative to traditional insurance, depending on whether demand management results in deficient or excessive treatment.

    Notizen: This paper asserts that brand pharmaceutical firms (those mostly involved in the invention and production of new drugs) engage in a set of complementary activities that are different from those of generic pharmaceutical firms (those that primarily make off-patent medicines). Complementarities of the Milgrom-Roberts variety within, but not across, these two kinds of firms make it more efficient for pharmaceutical firms to specialize in either brand or generic production. Using FDA data, I show that this is indeed the case. I then examine the firms that produce both types of drugs to see if there are market-level strategic synergies between brand and generic products. I find generic entrants that belong to a corporation that owns the brand in the market are (1) not more likely to enter, (2) not more likely to be approved faster, and (3) not more likely to deter other generics from entering. Thus the advantage, or synergy, from mixing brand and generic activities in one corporation must arise elsewhere in the operations of the firm. If not, the integrated pharmaceutical firm is not the most efficient organizational form for the production of ethical drugs.

    Notizen: This paper addresses the following subjects: biotechnology and consumers, concern about risks, consumer acceptance, labelling of foods produced using biotechnology, the legal approach to consumer protection, and consumer protection policies relating to biotechnology products in the European Union, the United States, Turkey and global institutions such as the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD) and the World Trade Organisation (WTO). It is likely that biotechnology will gain ground much more rapidly in the twenty-first century than in the past. Despite rapid, detailed and precise advances in gene technology, its applications have not been the received with a great deal of consumer enthusiasm. Consumers have approached genetically modified foods with considerable apprehension and opposition. Consumer concerns about bioengineered food products focus on the questions of human health, environmental and social risks and benefits. The most important stages in the process of marketing new foods produced using biotechnology are to demonstrate user need and consumer acceptance. Generally, the technical complexity of biotechnology makes it difficult for consumers to understand details of the product and the specific attributes of biotechnology applications. Scientific uncertainty, the nature of consumer concerns and general reluctance to accept biotechnology products, increase the importance of consumer protection. Legal protection is a very important factor in the solution of new social problems related to technological advances. More specifically, consumer and environmental law support consumer protection related to foods produced with biotechnology. The basic principles of consumer law can be re-formulated as consumer rights. Environmental law is a new phenomenon, but precautionary principles and public participation in decision-making for environmental law are relevant to consumer protection relating to bioengineered food products.

    Notizen: Many variables have been proposed as additions to the theory of planned behaviour structure, and evidence exists to support the value of a measure of ethical obligation and self-identity. Furthermore, some research has suggested that ethical obligation may serve as an antecedent to attitude as well as intention. This paper presents findings from a large scale survey that highlights the usefulness of ethical obligation and self-identity in the prediction of intention. Additionally, the role of both these variables in the prediction of attitude is also suggested. This is examined within the ‘ethical’ context of fair trade grocery purchases. Methodological implications for further research are discussed.

    Notizen: This paper first presents evidence from Spain on the relationship between the labour situation of both spouses within the family and the time dedicated to the care of the children, the elderly and the infirm. Second, it analyses the effect that government benefits for such care would have on the labour market and on household poverty. The results show that while Spanish society has advanced in the incorporation of women into the labour market, most of them still have to assume total responsibility for housework and the care of the children, the elderly and the infirm. Against this background, we find that benefits would decrease female participation in the labour market and the number of hours worked, while they would also contribute towards reducing poverty.

    Notizen: The curriculum that pupils are taught within the classroom environment can either be reinforced or weakened by what goes on in the rest of the school environment. The study focused on pupils aged 11–12 years, to establish if healthy eating theory was put into practice in the school environment. The research encompassed three areas within the school: the pupils who are the recipients of the theory; the teacher who teaches them the importance of food and cooking skills; and the providers of food within the school environment. Three different post-primary schools located within the Coleraine area of Northern Ireland were used.

    Notizen: Focus group interviews were carried out at 12 preschools. The aim was to investigate children's perceptions and experiences of food, and the possibility of using focus group techniques with children aged 3–5 years. A total of 103 children participated. The children associated food and eating with rules and norms. Most children described these rules and norms as well as what they were and were not allowed to do. They knew very well the difference between acceptable and non-acceptable mealtime behaviour, and were especially aware of what they were not allowed to do. When children were asked to rate foods they ‘disliked’, they spoke instead about their favourite foods. They did not categorize food as good or bad, as adults often do, but as ‘food’ and ‘non-food’, for example, sweets were not food. The method used in this study, the focus group interview, was judged to be a useful tool for exploring how children think about and jointly reflect upon food.

    Notizen: The Food Standards Agency was set up in April 2000 to protect the health of the public and the interests of consumers in relation to food. Its principal purpose is to put the consumer first. But what does this mean in practice? The Agency is finding ways to help consumer organizations and consumer representatives contribute more effectively to its work. However, consumer organizations cannot hope to represent the full range of consumer perspectives, and so the Agency is keen to reach out to individual consumers using a variety of innovative mechanisms. This article will describe why the Agency was established and how it achieves its main objective of putting the consumer first. It will discuss how the Agency is developing and testing new ways of working to ensure that the consumer perspective is fully accounted for when developing and evaluating policies, including setting up an influential new Consumer Committee. It will go on to highlight a number of recent innovative consumer consultations and structures that have been established to involve consumers in Agency policy making. It will discuss these processes and how the lessons that have been learnt are informing future Agency strategies. The article will then describe how the Agency protects consumers through effective risk communication strategies and how its Annual Consumer Attitudes Survey will help it measure success so that it can continue to set new stand-ards in putting consumers first in relation to food.

    Notizen: Despite the increased documentation of consumers’ purchases of organic food products, the motivations for such purchases are relatively under-researched. An individual’s choice of food products can be linked clearly to ethical stances, but ethical choices can also vary from individual to individual, from industry to industry and among countries. Consequently, this paper investigates the degree to which ethical beliefs influence Scottish consumer perceptions, beliefs, attitudes and purchasing decisions, with regard to organic dairy products. Consumer purchasing motivations are revealed as being self-interest-centred (i.e. better tasting, safer), rather than altruistic. Therefore, to achieve future market development, organic dairy producers cannot rely upon the minority of hardcore green consumers to sustain growth, but must aim to modify perceptions and attitudes of larger consumer segments by implementing educational marketing campaigns that reinforce the ethical, environmental and societal benefits of organic production.

    Notizen: Physically disabled women today have to face the inconvenience of shopping for their own as well as their families’ clothes and the inability of finding fashionable clothes that fit any disability. A total of 40 physically disabled women between the ages of 21 years and 60 years were interviewed on the problems they experienced when shopping for fashionable clothes that fit their disabilities. A total of 40 clothing shops were observed to get information on the extent to which the shops cater for the needs of the physically disabled consumer. Results from the interviews showed that the majority of physically disabled female clothing consumers experienced major problems in finding fashionable clothes that fit their disabilities. It was also clear that these women experienced problems with unusable access routes, unsuitable parking lots, display racks that are too high, spaces between racks that are too narrow, inadequate space in fitting rooms and a lack of assistance in shops. The observations were compared with the complaints the women had and it was found that these women had not overestimated their problems.

    Notizen: Three denim jeans products from the same manufacturer with differentiated pricing and labels (antiqued, sandblasted, and stonewashed) were used to determine the relationship between price and quality. Both qualitative and quantitative procedures were used to analyse the garments. All three jeans were made of twill weave with 3 × 1 repeat. Both structural and performance characteristics were compared using standardized tests. Analysis of variance was used to compare the selected structural and performance characteristics among the three jeans products. Tukey’s HSD tests were used for post hoc multiple comparisons for three jeans. The findings revealed that despite the fact that all three jeans products were from the same store, and that the fabrics used the same weave, degree and direction of twist, the jeans differed significantly for several structural and performance characteristics. Several possibilities for future research were explored.

    Notizen: The surface of an aluminosilicate ceramic was transformed to a corundum layer of high specific surface area by heating at 1300°–1450°C in a controlled reducing atmosphere. This procedure selectively reduced and volatilized the silica of the glass and mullite, and the alumina of the mullite formed a layer of corundum crystals with a thickness of ≤20 μm and a specific surface area of ≤16 m2/g. Specific surface area remained stable at 10.5 m2/g after prolonged heating at 1300°C in air, and at 8.5 m2/g at 1450°C. These materials are well suited for use as catalyst supports in applications such as catalytic combustion at temperatures in this range.

    Notizen: Cavities formed in ruby (99.46Al2O3·0.54Cr2O3) by the healing and annealing of indentation cracks at 1600°C are more equiaxed than similar cavities in sapphire. Surface energies for the observed facet planes (R, S, and A) relative to the surface energy of the basal plane, C, were γA/C= 1.00 ± 0.03, γR/C= 1.05 ± 0.07, and γS/C= 1.02 ± 0.04, with the uncertainty representing 95% confidence limits. Thus, the surface energies of all observed facets were statistically indistinguishable. Unlike sapphire, P-plane facets were not observed. The substantial rounding of the cavities in ruby indicated that portions of the Wulff shape were above the roughening transition temperature. Thus, even though Cr2O3 and Al2O3 form ideal solutions, Cr3+ ions are sufficiently surface active to modify the relative free energy of the surfaces.

    Notizen: The aging behavior of the solid-solution series (Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3)1−x–(PbTiO3)x (PMN1−x−PTx) prepared by chemical-solution deposition without seeding layers was investigated. A strong influence of the rapid thermal annealing step on the film density was determined. The best nucleation and density of the thin films occurred when each deposited layer was separately pyrolyzed and crystallized. The thin-film microstructure was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. Conventional capacitance-voltage and hysteresis measurements were performed. For the first time, investigations on the fatigue performance and the leakage current for alternating-current and direct-current voltage were executed, which are important for the reliability in device applications.

    Notizen: Up to 0.15 formula unit (f.u.) of U4+ incorporated in the Zr site of zirconolite by firing CaUxZr(1−x)Ti2O7 compositions in argon at 1400°C allows retention of the 2M polytype. Further U4+ substitution for Zr, up to 0.4 f.u., produces the 4M polytype (containing ∼0.4 f.u. of U) plus the 2M polytype containing 0.15 f.u. of U. The pyrochlore structure (containing 0.6 f.u. of U) forms in conjunction with the 4M polytype at U contents of 0.4 f.u. up to 0.7 f.u. Higher U contents give the pyrochlore structure, but the solid-state reactivity of even alkoxide-based preparations becomes increasingly poor for x 〉 ∼0.7 and hot pressing in graphite dies at ∼1250°C is necessary to achieve near single-phase pyrochlore structures for x= 1. When samples of CaUxZr1−xTi2O7 stoichiometry (x= 0.1 and 0.2) are oxidized at 1400°C in air, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) shows evidence for U5+ formation at the expense of U4+ via enhanced absorption bands, ∼50 nm in half-width, near 970 and 1500 nm and correspondingly weakened absorption at 1150 and 1660 nm. Weight gains consistent with complete oxidation of U4+ to U5+ are observed when finely powdered argon-fired samples with x= 0.1 and 0.4 are heated in air to 1200°C. Evidence for U valence states higher than +4 in both argon- and air-heated materials containing charge compensators to encourage U5+ or U6+ formation was also derived from DRS (showing U5+ in particular), and XANES. DRS shows weak absorption bands attributable to U4+ in zirconolites containing ∼0.2 f.u. of U incorporated in the Ca site via Mg or Al substitutions in the Ti sites, with the spectrum being closely but not exactly similar to that attributed to U4+ in the Zr site. Zirconolite and pyrochlore compositions which are melted at 1500° or 1550°C in argon and furnace-cooled yield broadly similar phase assemblages to the corresponding sintered materials, but there is evidence of incongruent melting in all materials.

    Notizen: Single-phase β′-SiAlON (Si6−zAlzOzN8−z, z= 0–4.2) ceramics with porous structure have been prepared by pressureless sintering of powder mixtures of á-Si3N4, AlN, and Al2O3 of the SiAlON compositions. A solution of AlN and Al2O3 into Si3N4 resulted in the β′-SiAlON, and full densification was prohibited because no other sintering additives were used. Relative densities ranging from 50%–90% were adjusted with the z-value and sintering temperature. The results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses indicated that single-phase β′-SiAlON free from a grain boundary glassy phase could be obtained. Both grain and pore sizes increased with increasing z-value. Low z-value resulted in a relatively high flexural strength.

    Notizen: Photoluminescence spectroscopy was used to probe the formation of colloidal TiO2 sols from a titanium peroxide solution, which were prepared by reaction of H2O2 and titanium hydrate gel that was precipitated from acidic TiOCl2 solution neutralized by NH4OH, during aging at 100°C for 0–64 h. Emission spectra revealed broad band luminescence which is interpreted as the superposition of a multiple photoluminescence process involving TiO2 precursors. The maximum peak position of the luminescence band was shifted to a shorter wavelength by the generation of the dominant emission peak as aging time increased, and a peak at ∼390 nm, indicating the anatase phase, was observed after aging for 〉48 h. However, sols aged for 2 h already were of the anatase phase, according to X-ray diffraction analysis. It was deduced that the interfacial layers between the particles and the liquid in an aqueous solution caused luminescence quenching or accelerated sink.

    Notizen: The effect of deposition conditions on the growth of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) films on textured silver substrates using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process was investigated. The crystalline structure of the YSZ film depended strongly on the deposition conditions, such as substrate temperature and deposition time. YSZ films prepared at 750°C using β-diketone chelate sources, which had an orientation of c-axis normal to the textured silver substrate surface. The YSZ surface was dense but not rough, and the YSZ film grew granular-like. The cross-sectional image of YSZ film showed the columnar growth feature; the growth rate was ∼20 nm/min.

    Notizen: Three-dimensional photonic crystals with periodic variations in the dielectric constant were fabricated using a stereolithographic rapid prototyping method. The structures were composed of millimeter-scale ordered epoxy lattices in which ceramic particles with high dielectric constants (such as silica and titania) were dispersed. These crystals were designed to reflect microwaves via the formation of photonic band gaps in a gigahertz range. The attenuation of transmission amplitude through the photonic crystals, which was measured as a function of frequency using a network analyzer, clearly showed the formation of band gaps in the microwave range.

    Notizen: Chalcogenide glasses (ChG) are of interest due to their optical and electronic properties for use in waveguide applications. To assess expected uniformity in films deposited from bulk glass starting materials, the extent of parent bulk glass property variation was evaluated. Resulting structural and optical properties of melt-derived ChG's were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis and spectrophotometric analysis. The influence of melt size, purification, and other melting conditions on sample homogeneity were quantified and within-melt property variation of bulk glass samples was found to be less than 5% for all parameters examined.

    Notizen: This work describes a simple and novel ceramic processing technique to form periodic ordered structures in ceramic materials with a uniform pore size distribution. This material shows photonic gaps at visible/near-IR wavelengths. Monodisperse colloidal polystyrene microspheres are self-organized into a crystalline structure of close-packed spheres in a suspension of nanocrystalline titania. The nanoparticle titania fills the intersphere region simultaneously during colloidal crystallization. Removal of the polystyrene microspheres by calcination at a temperature of 520°C results in a periodic porous structure with a high refractive index background material. Crystals having ordered regions, a few millimeters across with typical grain sizes of 50–70 μm, are grown as thin films on substrates including glass and silicon. Optical reflectivity measurements indicate peaks at the stop band wavelengths that scale with the pore size. Visual inspection and optical microscopy reveal uniform colored regions for crystals with periodicity comparable to visible wavelengths. Despite the presence of cracks resulting from drying and heat treatment as well as numerous grain boundaries, optical characterization clearly demonstrates a photonic band gap. Reflectance peaks due to a pseudogap can be shifted by application of high pressure. In the following sections we will describe the experimental procedure and discuss optical reflectance and transmission measurements that can reveal information about the crystals, namely, the lattice constant, the refractive index, and the filling fraction of the background material.

    Notizen: The objective of this study was to establish the mechanism(s) controlling degradation of yttria-tetragonally-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) powder in aqueous suspensions and determine the significance of this degradation to the aqueous physical chemistry of Y-TZP. Experiments were performed on commercially available Y-TZP powder placed in aqueous suspensions at 25°C. Experimental investigations included analysis of the aqueous chemistry of Y-TZP in water via ICP-MS, determination of the surface and bulk structure of the powder via XRD and solid-state NMR, and observation of changes in surface charges via zeta potential determinations. The goal of this study was to control the surface chemistry of Y-TZP in aqueous suspension to promote dispersion and permit aqueous processing of Y-TZP powders.

    Notizen: Gallium oxide hydroxide (GaOOH·xH2O) single crystals were synthesized in aqueous solutions by using two different precipitation techniques: homogeneous decomposition of urea and forced hydrolysis in pure water. Precipitation of crystals started at exactly the same pH value (i.e., 2.05 at 85°C) in both cases. The morphology of crystals turned out to be quite different (zeppelin-like with urea, rodlike without urea) in each of the above methods. Calcination of these gallium oxide hydroxide crystals in air at temperatures ≥500°C transformed them into Ga2O3. Characterization of the samples was performed by X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and ICP, carbon, and nitrogen analyses.

    Notizen: A dense and uniform polycrystalline ytterbium silicate skin on silicon nitride ceramics was developed by a controlled oxidation process to improve the hot corrosion resistance of silicon nitride. The process consists of purposely oxidizing the silicon nitride by heating it at high temperatures. It was found that the ytterbium silicate phase was formed as an oxidation product on the surface of the silicon nitride when it was exposed to air at temperatures above 1250°C. The volume fraction of ytterbium silicate compared with that of SiO2 on the silicon nitride surface increased with increasing oxidation time and temperature. The formation and growth of ytterbium silicate on the surface of silicon nitride is attributed to a nucleation and growth mechanism. Ultimately, a dense and uniform ytterbium silicate skin with 3–4 μm of skin thickness was obtained by oxidation at 1450°C for 24 h. The ytterbium silicate layer, formed by oxidation of the silicon nitride, is associated with the reaction of SiO2 on the surface of silicon nitride with Yb2O3 introduced in the silicon nitride as a sintering additive. Preliminary tests showed that the ytterbium silicate skin appears to protect silicon nitride from hot corrosion. No observable evidence of a reaction between the skin and molten Na2SO4 was found when it was exposed to molten Na2SO4 at 1000°C for 30 min.

    Notizen: The interactions between added boric oxide (B2O3) and organic additives, and their effects on the colloidal stability of aqueous BaTiO3 suspensions have been investigated. The initially Newtonian or pseudoplastic aqueous BaTiO3 suspension with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) becomes dilatant, and its viscosity also increases dramatically when a critical amount of B2O3, 0.4 wt%, is added. This has been attributed to a chemical reaction between the dissociated borate ion (B(OH)4−) and PVA, which form a gel-type structure in the aqueous BaTiO3 suspension. The dilatancy and viscosity of the aqueous BaTiO3 suspension with PVA and B2O3 increase significantly when a dispersant of ammonium salt of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA-NH4) is present. The ionization of B2O3 is enhanced by the basicity of dissociated PAA−, promoting the formation of PVA-B(OH)4− gel-type structure in the aqueous BaTiO3 suspensions. With added plasticizer of 1,2- (e.g., ethylene glycol (EG)) or 1,3-diol (e.g., 1,3-propanediol (PPDL)) molecular structure, both the dilatancy and viscosity of aqueous BaTiO3 suspensions with PVA, B2O3, and PAA-NH4 decrease dramatically. Stable compounds of diol-B(OH)4− are formed before the dissociated B(OH)4− reacts with PVA, reducing the degree of gelation of aqueous BaTiO3 suspensions. A stability map is constructed to describe the amount of EG required to obtain colloidally stable aqueous BaTiO3 powder suspensions with PVA, PAA-NH4, and B2O3.

    Notizen: Bi0.5(Na1-xKx)0.5TiO3 (BNKT) bulk ceramics with a preferred 〈100〉 orientation were prepared using the reactive templated grain-growth method with platelike Bi4Ti3O12 particles as templates for BNKT. The potassium concentration (x value) had a large effect on the degree of orientation, and highly oriented ceramics were obtained for the specimens with x= 0.10 and x= 0.15, whereas the specimen with x= 0.00 had a small degree of orientation. Increased potassium concentration from x= 0.00 to x= 0.15 decreased the grain-growth rate and changed the grain shape from irregular to cubic. These factors were responsible for the increased degree of orientation.

    Notizen: Porous Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) samples were synthesized by preparing NiO/YSZ composites by tape casting and calcining at 1800 K, reducing the NiO to nickel in H2 at 973 K, and finally leaching the nickel out of the structure with 2.2M HNO3 at 353 K. Porous YSZ was prepared from NiO/YSZ composites containing 0, 20, 40, and 50 wt% NiO. Complete removal of the nickel was demonstrated by XRD, weight changes, and porosity increases. Porosities 〉75% could be achieved without structural collapse of the YSZ phase. Finally, the method was applied to the fabrication of a solid oxide fuel cell with a copper-based anode operating on H2 and n-butane.

    Notizen: The hydroxylation and dehydroxylation behavior of amorphous silica fracture surfaces was studied using temperature-programmed static SIMS. The results show that vacuum heat treatments result in more extensive condensation of silanol groups on the silica glass fracture surface as compared to fumed silica (Cabosil). This is attributed to differences in the distribution of silanol groups on the two silica surfaces. The rehydration kinetics of the dehydroxylated silica fracture surfaces showed two distinct reaction rates—an initial rapid increase in the silanol concentration, followed by a slower rehydration for longer dosing times. The slower rehydration reaction was shown to follow first-order reaction kinetics with the reaction rate constant, suggesting hydrolysis of strained siloxane bonds on three-membered silicate ring structures. The much faster initial rehydration is attributed to the hydrolysis of extremely strained siloxane bonds in two-membered, edge-shared tetrahedral rings. The effect of the dehydration time and temperature (i.e., thermal history of the surface) on the rehydration kinetics is also discussed.

    Notizen: Porous silicon nitride ceramic with a porosity from 0–0.3 was fabricated by partial hot-pressing of a powder mixture of α-Si3N4 and 5 wt% Yb2O3 as sintering additive. Irrespective of the porosity, the samples exhibited almost the same microstructural features including grain size, grain aspect ratio, and pore size. Porosity dependences of Young's modulus, flexural strength, and fracture toughness (KIC) were investigated. All these properties decreased with increasing porosity. However, because of the fibrous microstructure, the decreases of flexural strength and fracture toughness were moderate compared with the much greater decrease of Young's modulus. Thus, the strain tolerance (fracture strength/Young's modulus) increased with increasing porosity. The critical energy release rate also increased slightly with an increasing volume fraction of porosity to 0.166 and remained at the same level with that of the dense sample when the porosity was 0.233. They decreased as porosity increased further.

    Notizen: A Vickers indenter, as an efficient mechanical microprobe, was applied to carbon materials heat-treated at temperatures in the range 880°–2600°C. The plasticity of the carbon materials, which was enhanced by increasing the heat-treatment temperature (HTT), was assessed from the relation between the indentation load, P, and the penetration depth, h. Using the concept of the true hardness, H, as a measure of plasticity and the experimental estimate of the H-value, the plasticity of the carbon materials was examined as a function of their crystallographic parameters. The residual impression of the carbons at HTT 〉 1800°C was hardly visible on the indented surface after unloading, because of the nearly complete elastic recovery of the indented surface, yielding a very unique indentation P–h hysteresis in the loading/unloading cycle. The microscopic processes associated with this unique elastic recovery during unloading are discussed here in relation to the reversible slip of the dislocation-network structures on the graphitic basal planes.

    Notizen: Grain-oriented Bi0.5(Na0.85K0.15)0.5TiO3-Pb(Zr1−xTix)O3 (BNKT-PZT) ceramics were prepared via the reactive templated grain growth method, using platelike Bi4Ti3O12 particles. Factors that determine the degree of orientation were examined. Prereacted PZT gave a larger degree of orientation than PZT raw materials (PbO, ZrO2, and TiO2) in the 75BNKT-25PZT (x= 0.5) system. Increases in the titanium concentration in the PZT of the 75BNKT-25PZT system and in the BNKT concentration in the yBNKT-(100 −y)PZT (x= 0.5) system increased the degree of orientation. The direction of material transport between BNKT and PZT was important to obtain ceramics with a large degree of orientation.

    Notizen: Ceramic oxide nanoparticles produced by flame-based processes are typically agglomerated, which can limit their use in some applications. In this paper, a novel combustion synthesis method that utilizes the spraying of combustible droplets into a premixed flame to produce nanoscale crystalline particles of agglomerated and unagglomerated morphologies is described. Although the same flame-based experimental setup is used in both cases, variation in peak flame temperatures results in a corresponding variation between fractallike agglomerates and single isolated spherical particles. TEM/ED analysis shows that both classes of particles are the tetragonal crystal phase of zirconia. In the case of the unagglomerated spherical particles, results indicate that each precursor solution droplet, which acts as the feed, produces multiple spherical ceramic nanoparticles with a number mean diameter of 90 nm. The use of an inertial impaction stage in the precursor feed line to eliminate large feed droplets leads to a decrease in the number mean diameter to 60 nm, suggesting that crystalline spherical nanoparticles can be produced in a continuous flame-based process through control of the feed droplet size.

    Notizen: New high-stability red-shade ceramic pigments based on pyrochlore solid solutions Y2Sn2−xCrxO7−δ (x= 0–1, 0 〈 δ= 0–1/2x) were developed employing conventional solid-state reaction synthesis. The relationship between their optical properties and microstructure was analyzed by X-ray diffractometry and ultraviolet–visible-light spectroscopy. Decomposition of the structure with formation of the perovskite YCrO3 observed for chromium substitutions x≥ 5 was attributed mainly to high concentration of defects. The structural and optical parameters of the materials were found to correlate with the concentration of a species with higher oxidation state than Cr(III), such as Cr(IV) or Cr(V).

    Notizen: A dynamic piston-on-three-ball experimental technique has been developed for a biaxial flexural strength test of thin ceramic substrates at high loading rates. Analytical modeling of the technique guided the experimental design and was used to judge the validity of experimental results. Thin ceramic substrates made of 1-mol%-Al2O3-doped 8-mol%-yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) were tested using this experimental technique, as well as its standard counterpart—the quasi-static piston-on-three-ball technique. Results show that the mean biaxial flexural strength increased from ∼322 to ∼465 MPa as the average loading rate was increased from quasi-static to dynamic (830 GPa/s) level.

    Notizen: Compressive layers placed within a laminate can arrest cracks. With increasing applied stress, the arrested crack can propagate through the compressive layer. These phenomena produce a material with threshold strength, i.e., failure cannot occur below a critical applied stress. A previously reported stress intensity function describes different variables, e.g., magnitude of compressive stress, thickness of compressive layer, and distance between compressive layers, which govern threshold strength. Laminar composites composed of thicker Al2O3 layers separated by thinner Al2O3/mullite layers were fabricated to test the different variables that are predicted to govern threshold strength. The data agreed well with the predicted values only when the magnitude of compressive stress and/or the thickness of the compressive layer were low. For these conditions, the crack extended straight through the compressive layers, as assumed by the model used to predict threshold strength. On the other hand, when the compressive stress and/or layer thickness were large, threshold strength was larger than the predicted value. In addition, for these conditions, the crack bifurcated through the compressive layer. The angle between the bifurcated cracks increased with increasing compressive stress.

    Notizen: The morphologic and microstructural development of natural fish bone through heat treatment is examined in view of fish-waste management and as a possible route for hydroxyapatite ceramics. Fish bone heated at temperatures ≤1300°C maintains a porous structure, with a sintered wall and a major crystalline phase of hydroxyapatite. Fish-originated ceramics are potentially useful as bioactive media as well as for environmentally compatible materials.

    Notizen: The nanocomposite of a poly(methyl methacrylate)/silica containing calcium salt was synthesized through the sol–gel method. Methyl methacrylate was co-polymerized with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate and then co-condensed with tetraethyl orthosilicate and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate. Low crystalline hydroxycarbonate apatite was successfully formed on the surface after soaking in simulated body fluid for 1 week at 36.5°C. This study demonstrates that this nanocomposite may be used as a bioactive bone substitute or filler for poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement.

    Notizen: Pt/SiO2 nanosized particles have been synthesized using a reverse micelle technique combined with metal alkoxide hydrolysis and condensation. The size of the particles and the thickness of the coating can be controlled by manipulating the relative rates of the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) within the microemulsion. The average size of synthesized particles was in the size range of 21–42 nm. The effects of synthesis parameters, such as the molar ratio of water to TEOS and the molar ratio of water to surfactant, are discussed.

    Notizen: MgO (10.4 mol%)-doped ZrO2 powder, which was prepared by coprecipitation and calcination at 750°C, was leached and milled, respectively. The powders were characterized by Auger electron scanning microprobe and XRD technologies. Only the 2.3 mol% MgO was soluble in ZrO2; it stabilized ZrO2 as the metastable tetragonal phase (crystallite size ∼45 nm) at room temperature. The rest of the MgO (8.1 mol%) existed on the surface of the ZrO2 grains in the prepared powder.

    Notizen: The microwave dielectric properties of CaTi1−x(Al1/2Nb1/2)xO3 solid solutions (0.3 ≤x≤ 0.7) have been investigated. The sintered samples had perovskite structures similar to CaTiO3. The substitution of Ti4+ by Al3+/Nb5+ improved the quality factor Q of the sintered specimens. A small addition of Li3NbO4 (about 1 wt%) was found to be very effective for lowering sintering temperature of ceramics from 1450–1500° to 1300°C. The composition with x= 0.5 sintered at 1300°C for 5 h revealed excellent dielectric properties, namely, a dielectric constant (ɛr) of 48, a Q×f value of 32 100 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (τf) of −2 ppm/K. Li3NbO4 as a sintering additive had no harmful influence on τf of ceramics.

    Notizen: The strengths and fracture toughness values were measured for alumina powder compacts containing two different binder systems. Diametral compression was used to measure both the tensile strength and the fracture toughness (through-thickness notch). This methodology was very useful in linking processing parameters, such as binder choice and compaction stress, to the quality of the green bodies. Observations of the compact structure before and after fracture showed that the binders segregated to the region between the spray-dried granules. The presence of the excess binder in this region was linked to both the failure mode and the creation of secondary cracks.

    Notizen: Nanoparticles of anatase-type titania (TiO2) doped with zirconia (ZrO2) were directly synthesized from acidic precursor solutions of TiOSO4 and Zr(SO4)2 by simultaneous hydrolysis, under mild hydrothermal conditions, at 200° and 240°C. Doping ZrO2 into TiO2 suppressed the crystal growth of anatase and shifted the phase transformation from anatase-type to rutile-type structure to a high temperature. The presence of an anatase-type structure with high crystallinity and high phase stability, even after annealing at 1000°C for 1 h, was fully achieved by both the doping of ZrO2 into TiO2 through direct precipitation and the simultaneous hydrolysis of the sulfate solutions.

    Notizen: Inhibition of cubic-rhombohedral phase transformation and low-temperature sintering at 1000°C were achieved for 10-mol%-Sc2O3-doped cubic-ZrO2 by the presence of 1 mol% Bi2O3. The powders of 1-mol%-Bi2O3–10-mol%-Sc2O3-doped ZrO2 were prepared using a hydrolysis and homogeneous precipitation technique. No trace of rhombohedral-ZrO2 phase could be detected, even after sintering at 1000°–1400°C. The average grain size of the ZrO2 sintered at 1200°C was 〉2 μm because of grain growth in the presence of Bi3+. Cubic, stabilized Bi-Sc-doped ZrO2 sintered at 1200°C had sufficient conductivity at 1000°C (0.33 S/cm) to be used as an electrolyte for a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and at 800°C (0.12 S/cm) for an intermediate-temperature SOFC.

    Notizen: The structure and electrical properties of an A-site-deficient perovskite compound found in the La2/3TiO3-La1/3NbO3 system were investigated. The composition of the perovskite compound seemed to be very close to La0.633(Ti0.90Nb0.10)O3. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a superstructure with a doubled c-axis parameter, resulting from an ordered arrangement of the A-site cation vacancies. Impedance measurements on the compound showed that La0.633(Ti0.90Nb0.10)O3 had high ionic conductivity at relatively low temperature (〈770 K) and increased electronic conduction at high temperature (〉770 K). The bulk ionic conductivity was comparable with that of La0.683(Ti0.95Al0.05)O3, which has the highest ionic conductivity among the La-(Ti,Al)-O perovskite compounds.

    Notizen: The effects of an externally applied plasticizer on compaction behavior and green microstructure quality of spray-dried powders was investigated. The plasticizer was applied to the external surfaces of already spray-dried powders by spraying it on tumbling spray-dried granules. The apparent yield point of the spray-dried powder was reduced when the plasticizer was added. Microstructures of compacts made from these granules (with and without the externally applied plasticizer) were compared at different compaction pressures. Better knitting across granule interfaces and fewer defects were obtained for the granules with the externally applied plasticizer.

    Notizen: Gas-phase magnesium hydroxide carbonation processes were investigated at high CO2 pressures to better understand the reaction mechanisms involved. Carbon and hydrogen elemental analysis, secondary ion mass spectrometry, ion beam analysis, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis were used to follow dehydroxylation/rehydroxylation/carbonation reaction processes. Dehydroxylation is found to generally precede carbonation as a distinct but interrelated process. Above the minimum CO2 pressure for brucite carbonation, both carbonation and dehydroxylation reactivity decrease with increasing CO2 pressure. Low-temperature dehydroxylation before carbonation can form porous intermediate materials with enhanced carbonation reactivity at reduced (e.g., ambient) temperature and pressure. Control of dehydroxylation/rehydroxylation reactions before and/or during carbonation can substantially enhance carbonation reactivity.

    Notizen: Layered manufacturing methods for fabricating ceramic components can involve selective deposition of binder using ink-jet printing. Selection of a proper binder plays a critical role in fabricating parts with good surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and high resolution. Several polymeric solution-phase binders were investigated in terms of their physical properties, printing performance, and binder-powder bed interaction. It was observed that the molecular weight should be 〈15 000 for the binder to be penetrated into dense powder compacts. Binder infiltration kinetics and printed line width were also significantly influenced by powder-bed characteristics, such as surface roughness and pore size, as well as the physical properties of the binder, such as viscosity and surface tension.

    Notizen: A new method for the kinetic analysis of the initial stage of sintering for constant-heating-rate data has been proposed. Unlike all of the methods previously reported in the literature, this new method proposed here allows the simultaneous determination of the activation energy and the kinetic model from a single dilatometric curve recorded under a linear-heating-rate program. The proposed method has been tested with simulated sintering curves and experimental results have been obtained for the sintering of a rutile sample.

    Notizen: Calcium hexa-aluminate (CaO·6Al2O3) has been prepared from calcium nitrate and aluminum sulfate solutions in the temperature range of 1000°–1400°C. A 0.3 mol/L solution of aluminum sulfate was prepared, and calcium nitrate was dissolved in it in a ratio that produced 6 mol of Al2(SO4)3·16H2O for each mole of Ca(NO3)2·4H2O. It was dried over a hot magnetic stirrer at ∼70°C and fired at 1000°–1400°C for 30–360 min. The phases formed were determined by XRD. It was observed that CaO·Al2O3 and CaO·2Al2O3 were also formed as reaction intermediates in the reaction mix of CaO·6Al2O3. The kinetics of the formation of CaO·6Al2O3 have been studied using the phase-boundary-controlled equation 1 − (1 −x)1/3=K log t and the Arrhenius plot. The activation energy for the low-temperature synthesis of CaO·6Al2O3 was 40 kJ/mol.

    Notizen: The decomposition kinetics of poly(vinyl butyral) binder from barium titanate multilayer ceramic capacitors with platinum metal electrodes were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis as a function of the heating rate. The activation energy and pre-exponential factor for the decomposition kinetics were determined from two types of integral equations, from the Redhead method, and from the variation in heating rate method. The accuracy of the kinetic parameters determined from these methods was then evaluated for describing the observed rate of binder decomposition. Although the individual models yielded very different kinetic parameters, all were capable of describing the experimental data within ±15% accuracy. The kinetic parameters were then used in a coupled transport and kinetic model for describing the buildup of pressure within the ceramic green body as a function of the heating cycle. A methodology based on calculus of variations was also developed to predict the minimum duration for the binder burnout cycle.

    Notizen: Vanadium-containing ZrSiO4-gel precursors with nominal compositions Vx-ZrSiO4 with x= 0.0, 0.002, 0.004, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.1, and 0.2 were prepared using a previously reported procedure and thermally treated over a range of temperature up to the formation of the V4+-ZrSiO4 solid solution. The structural evolution and the V4+ location and its homogenous distribution were followed using powder X-ray diffractometry and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR). Our experiments showed that a tetragonal form of V4+-ZrO2 was the first crystalline phase obtained on heating the gels. On further heating, a phase transformation to the monoclinic form of V4+-ZrO2 took place. Finally, the monoclinic form reacted with amorphous SiO2 to form the V4+-ZrSiO4 solid solution. A semiquantitative determination of the vanadium solubility in the ZrSiO4 phase using ESR confirmed previously reported results obtained by lattice parameter variation over the solid-solution series.

    Notizen: Changes of crystal structures and microstructures of SiO2 and graphite powder mixtures induced by high-energy milling, the effect of these changes on the reactivity of reactants, and the mechanism of enhanced SiC formation have been studied using a variety of analytical instruments, including X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, solid-state 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance, and nitrogen adsorption (i.e., the BET method). High-energy milling before carbothermic reduction leads to substantial changes in the structural and energy states of the reactants, which in turn increases the reactivity of the reactants and enhances the formation of nanostructured SiC particles. Furthermore, the structural and energy-state changes contribute to the enhanced SiC formation through the increased reaction kinetics as well as the increased reaction driving force.

    Notizen: B-site cation order–disorder transition induced by mechanical activation was observed in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 (PMN–PMW) solid solution, which was examined using both XRD diffraction and Raman spectroscopic study. The order–disorder transition is composition dependent. Mechanical activation triggers the B-site disordering, which can be steadily recovered by thermal annealing at elevated temperature, i.e., at temperatures around 600°C. Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that there existed tiny ordered microdomains in 0.4PMN·0.6PMW subjected to up to 20 h of mechanical activation, although they cannot be shown by X-ray diffraction. This is a result of the equilibrium between the mechanical destruction and temperature-facilitated recovering at the collision points during mechanical activation. It is therefore unlikely that a complete disordering can be realized in PMN–PMW by mechanical activation. The disordering in PMN–PMW triggered by mechanical activation occurs simultaneously with the refinement in crystallite size at the initial stage of mechanical activation, suggesting that the fragmentation of crystallites is responsible for the order–disorder transition at least during the initial stage of mechanical activation.

    Notizen: Platelet-shaped particles of similar size and shape were investigated as fillers for improving the thermal conductivity of polymer–ceramic composite materials. The conductivities of composites filled with hard, stiff ceramic particles exceeded 3.5 W·(m·K)−1, or 〉20 times the conductivity of the polymer matrix, and were shown to be almost independent of the intrinsic filler conductivity range of 33–300 W·(m·K)−1. In contrast, the thermal conductivity of composites filled with soft, platelet-shaped BN fillers reached over 13 W·(m·K)−1. A mechanism is proposed whereby deformation of the soft filler particles provides improved particle-to-particle connectivity and allows greater packing density, resulting in the ability to achieve much higher conductivity than is possible for hard and stiff particles of similar initial morphology. Experimental results are discussed in light of various thermal conductivity prediction models in the literature.

    Notizen: The effects of aluminum-ion-implantation on the oxidation behavior of NBD 200 Si3N4 were investigated over an implant concentration range of 0–30 at.%, at 800°–1100°C, in 1 atm dry O2. Oxidation of both unimplanted and implanted samples follows a parabolic rate law. The parabolic rate constant decreases and the activation energy increases with aluminum concentration. Smooth and crack-free oxides are formed under the combination of high implant concentrations and low oxidation temperatures. Outward diffusion of Mg2+ from the bulk of NBD 200 to the oxide layer remains the rate-limiting step for aluminum-implanted samples. The enhancement of the oxidation resistance of NBD 200 by aluminum implantation is attributed to the retardation of the outward diffusion of Mg2+.

    Notizen: The surface-crack-in-flexure (SCF) method uses a Knoop indenter to create small, semielliptical surface precracks in beam specimens. Lateral cracks may interfere with the primary median crack and cause errors of up to 10% in determination of fracture toughness, particularly for materials for which the fracture toughness is ∼3 MPa·m1/2 or less. Although the residual-stress-damage zone is ground or polished away by hand by removing 4.5–5 times the indentation depth, this amount may not be sufficient to completely remove the lateral cracks in low-fracture-toughness materials. A series of tests were conducted on sintered alpha silicon carbide with different amounts of material removed after indentation. Once the lateral cracks were fully removed, the SCF results concurred with single-edged-precracked-beam and chevron-notched-beam data collected in accordance with ASTM Designation C1421. A simple remedy for the SCF method is to examine the outer ground surface for remnants of lateral cracks before fracture and to remove more material if necessary.

    Notizen: The nucleation and crystallization mechanisms of a lead halide phosphate glass [40P2O5·30PbBr2·30PbF2 (mol%)] were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction analysis. There were two crystalline phases in the crystallized samples: the major phase was PbP2O4, and the minor phase was PbP2O6. The average activation energy for crystallization, E, for two different particle sizes of this glass was determined to be 119 ± 4 kJ/mol by the Kissinger method and 124 ± 4 kJ/mol by the Augis–Bennett method. The Avrami constants were determined to be 1.6 and 2.5 for particle sizes of 203 and 1040 μm, respectively, by the Ozawa equation, and 1.7 and 2.4 for particle sizes of 203 and 1040 μm, respectively, by the Augis–Bennett equation. The decrease in the crystallization peak height in the DTA curve with increasing particle size suggested that the particles crystallize primarily by surface crystallization. A nucleation-rate type curve was determined by plotting either the reciprocal of the temperature corresponding to the crystallization peak maximum, 1/Tp, or the height of the crystallization peak, (δT)p, as a function of nucleation temperature, Tn. The temperature where nucleation can occur for this glass ranges from 360°–450°C and the maximum nucleation rate is at 420°± 10°C.

    Notizen: The effects of the substitution of transition-metal ions and/or reductant gases on the catalytic properties of barium hexaaluminogallate were investigated. Transition-metal-substituted hexaaluminogallates (BaM(Al,Ga)11O19, M = transition metal, Al/Ga = 9/3) were synthesized from aqueous metal nitrates and ammonium carbonate by the coprecipitation followed by crystallization at 1100°C. The direct NOx reduction was observed over BaM(Al,Ga)11O19 to be around 10%. The NOx removal activity of BaM(Al,Ga)11O19 powders was improved by addition of C3H6 as a reductant gas. Co-, Ni- and Cu-substituted BaM(Al,Ga)11O19 catalysts exhibited about 40% NOx reduction with C3H6 in excess oxygen at a high space velocity of 10 000 h−1. The NOx reduction on Mn- and Fe-substituted BaM(Al,Ga)11O19 catalysts was less than 10% even in the presence of C3H6. The temperature of the effective NOx reduction on BaM(Al,Ga)11O19 catalysts could be adjusted from 350° to 500°C by the selection of the transition-metal substitution in the catalysts. The catalysts hold high activities for NOx reduction even at 500°C in water vapor produced in the combustion system of reductant gases.

    Notizen: Amorphous films in the system Al2O3–Y2O3 were prepared by the rf sputtering method in the range of 0–76 mol% Y2O3, and their density, refractive index, and elastic constants were measured. All of the physical properties of the amorphous Al2O3–Y2O3 films had a similar compositional dependence; that is, they increased continuously, but not linearly with increasing Y2O3 content. To confirm the coordination states of aluminum and yttrium ions in the amorphous Al2O3–Y2O3 films, the AlKα X-ray emission spectra and the X-ray absorption near edge structures (XANES) were measured. The average coordination number of aluminum ions in the amorphous films containing up to about 40 mol% Y2O3 content was 5, that is a mixture of 4-fold- and 6-fold-coordinated states. In the region of more than about 50 mol% Y2O3, the fraction of the 6-fold-coordinated aluminum ions increased with increasing Y2O3 content, while the results led to the conclusion that the coordination number of yttrium ions was always 6, regardless of composition. These results indicate that, in amorphous films in the system Al2O3–Y2O3, the change of the coordination state of aluminum ions has an important effect on physical properties.

    Notizen: The reaction between ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) having an empirical formula of C7.88S7.39M3A and calcium hydroxide (CH) was investigated. The kinetics of the reaction were explored. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to monitor the consumption of CH from which rate constants were determined. Based on Knudsen's kinetic model, activation energies of 14.5, 17.9, and 22.6 kJ/mol were determined for three different mass ratios of slag and CH reacted over a temperature range of 15° to 50°C and hydrated for a period of time from 0 to 32 days. A comparison of the kinetics of the slag/CH reaction was made with slag/portland cement hydration. The basic features of both appear similar.

    Notizen: Si3N4/SiC composite ceramics were sintered and subjected to three-point bending. A semi-elliptical surface crack of 100 μm surface length was made on each specimen. The crack-healing behavior under cyclic stress of 5 Hz, and resultant cyclic fatigue strengths at healing temperatures of 1100° and 1200°C, were systematically investigated. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Si3N4/SiC composite ceramics have an excellent ability to heal a crack at 1100° and 1200°C. (2) This sample could heal a crack even under cyclic stress at a frequency of 5 Hz. (3) The crack-healed sample exhibited quite high cyclic fatigue strength at each crack-healing temperature, 1100° and 1200°C.

    Notizen: Mo5Si3-particle-reinforced Si3N4-matrix composites were fabricated by sintering molybdenum-solution-infiltrated porous Si3N4. Fine Mo5Si3 particles, with an average diameter of ∼0.13–0.17 μm, grew in situ from the reaction between MoO3 and Si3N4 in the grain boundary of the Si3N4. The Mo5Si3 particles resided in the grain-boundary glassy phase and reinforced the grain boundaries. The four-point flexural strength and fracture toughness of a 2.8 wt% Mo5Si3-Si3N4 composite were 1060 MPa and 7.7 MPa·m1/2, respectively. This was higher than those for normally sintered Si3N4 by ∼17% and ∼18%, respectively. The fracture toughness of the Mo5Si3-Si3N4 composite increased as the content of Mo5Si3 particles increased, but the flexural strength decreased. Improvement in fracture toughness was attributed to a thermal expansion mismatch among the Mo5Si3, the Si3N4, and the grain-boundary amorphous phases in the Mo5Si3-Si3N4 composites. Another reason for the improved fracture toughness was the pullout of elongated Si2N2O grains that formed as a result of oxygen gas released from the reaction between the molybdenum-solution-obtained MoO3 and the Si3N4. The infiltration method for incorporating desired elements or compounds into a ceramic matrix holds promise as a process for fabricating submicrometer- or nanometer-sized composites with high strength and high fracture toughness.

    Notizen: To investigate the fundamental aspects of vacancy ordering in oxygen-transporting ceramic membranes, we have performed atomic resolution analysis of individual domains in brownmillerite-type SrCoO3−δ. Electron energy loss spectroscopy indicates that the Co valence state in adjacent planes can be 2+ and 4+. This charge localization is accompanied by oxygen deficiency and the formation of ordered octahedral and tetrahedral coordinated Co sites. At microdomain boundaries, Z-contrast images reveal a structural relaxation of the octahedral site with the reduction of the Co valence state from 4+ to 3+ and the incorporation of extra oxygen vacancies.

    Notizen: Silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) ceramic foams, obtained from the pyrolysis of a preceramic polymer, were subjected to thermal multiple cycles from 800°–1200°C to room temperature in a water bath. Flexural and compression strengths, as well as elastic modulus, were characterized before and after quenching. Excellent thermal shock and cycling resistance behavior was observed, with only moderate strength and stiffness degradation. The phase assemblage of the foam remained unchanged, and no crack formation in the foams was observed. However, microstructural characterization revealed the development of porosity in the struts and cell walls due to the oxidation of residual carbon in the amorphous SiOC material, thereby contributing to a small decrease in stiffness after quenching.

    Notizen: The effect of titanium substitution for niobium on the grain shape change, grain growth inhibition, and abnormal grain growth during liquid-phase sintering of Nb1−xTixC–Co alloy was studied. With increased titanium substitution, the shape of the Nb1−xTixC grains in the liquid cobalt matrix was changed from a cube with round corners to a cube with angular corners, which implied increased edge energy. As the grain corners became more angular, the grain growth became markedly inhibited, and abnormal grain growth occurred. The results could be best explained by the increased edge energy of the interface of the Nb1−xTixC grains, which increased the barrier for the growth by two-dimensional nucleation.

    Notizen: CO2-gas sensors were fabricated using NASICON-type dense ceramics with new compositions in the Na3Zr2−(x/4)Si2−xP1+xO12system. The bulk ceramics were prepared from sol-gel-processed powders. Dense electrolytes were obtained for compositions with x= 0.667 and x= 1.333. An improved sinterability was observed with respect to NASICON with conventional composition, which was attributed to liquid-phase sintering. The CO2-gas sensors using these dense samples showed a stable electromotive force (emf) response in dry atmosphere that was similar to the theoretical Nernstian value for a two-electron electrochemical reaction. This was observed also for the NASICON sample with composition x= 1.333 that showed a conductivity far lower than that of the NASICON with conventional composition. The emf changed quickly with changes of the CO2-gas concentration, and steady-state values were observed. The response time, in adsorption and desorption of CO2, was very fast, especially at high CO2concentrations. The influence of humidity on the CO2-sensing performance was investigated. A lower sensitivity and slower response were obtained in humid CO2gas, especially at low CO2concentrations. CO2-sensing measurements at various gas-flow rates were performed to evaluate the reactions occurring at the measuring electrode. The occurrence of a side reaction on the measuring electrode was observed, i.e., the formation of sodium oxides. In dry gas, the reaction took place at low CO2concentrations and small flow rates, whereas the reaction was strongly enhanced in humid environments and occurred over the entire CO2concentration range. However, the sensor performance recovered after switching from humid gas to dry gas. This demonstrated that the humidity affects the emf because of the Na2Oxformation at the electrode, and, thus, the solid electrolyte itself was not degraded by humidity.

    Notizen: (Pb1−x−ySrxBay)(Zr0.976−zTizNb0.024)O3 solid solutions have been investigated to understand the relationship between structural changes caused by isovalent strontium and barium substitution on the A-site and dielectric and piezoelectric properties. As strontium and barium were substituted for lead, the zirconium:titanium (Zr:Ti) ratio was modified so that all compositions had an optimized piezoelectric coefficient (d33). The value of d33 was at a maximum in the tetragonal phase near, but not at, the morphotropic-phase boundary (MPB). The real MPB was taken as the Zr:Ti ratio at which X-ray diffraction patterns appeared either pseudocubic or a mixture of rhombohedral and tetragonal. As strontium content increased, optimized d33 also increased from 410 pC/N (x= 0) to 640 pC/N (x= 0.12), commensurate with a decrease in the paraelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transition temperature (TC) from 350°C (x= 0) to 175°C (x= 0.12). However, for ceramics where x 〉 0.12, optimized d33 decreased even though the phase-transition temperature was ∼150°C. Low strontium concentration ceramics (x= 0–0.08) contained 80 nm ferrroelectric domains typical of PZT, but high strontium concentration ceramics (x= 0.12–0.16) contained fine-scale domains (20 nm) in some regions of the microstructure. In addition, [110] pseudocubic electron diffraction patterns revealed superlattice reflections at 1/2{hkl} positions associated with rotations of the octahedra in antiphase. Co-doping ceramics with strontium (x= 0.06) and barium (y= 0.06) resulted in the disappearance of the 1/2{hkl} reflections. Optimized d33 (∼520 pC/N, TC∼ 205°C) for this composition was similar to that of ceramics where x= 0.08, y= 0, which had a TC of ∼250°C.

A cubic-bixbyite solution In2−2x(Cd,Sn)2xO3 (0 〈 x 〈 0.34), a cubic spinel solution (1−x)CdIn2O4–xCd2SnO4 (0 〈 x 〈 0.75), and an orthorhombic-perovskite solution Cd1−xSn1−xIn2xO3 (0 〈 x 〈 0.045) having the GdFeO3 structure have been discovered. The CdO phase field exists over a small range of InO1.5 (〈3%) and SnO2 (〈1%). Orthorhombic Cd2SnO4 (Sr2PbO4 structure) and rutile SnO2 appear to be point compounds with negligible solubility. The vertical section between spinel CdIn2O4 and orthorhombic Cd2SnO4 was determined between 900° and 1175°C. The spinel phase field (1−x)CdIn2O4–xCd2SnO4 was found to extend between x= 0 and x= 0.75 at 1175°C or x= 0.78 at 900°C. All of the phases in this system appear to allow small excess quantities of the donors In and/or Sn (vs cation stoichiometry) which may be the source of the electrons that give these oxides their n-type character. The electrical and optical properties of bulk and thin-film specimens in this system are compared and contrasted with each other and the relative merits of each are assessed.

    Notizen: The atomic-scale structure, composition, and chemistry of grain boundaries in two fluorite-structured ceramic materials were characterized by a combination of Z-contrast imaging and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). In the case of a symmetric 24° [001] tilt bicrystal of yttria-stabilized-zirconia (YSZ), a shift in the zirconium M-edge onset and a change in the yttrium and zirconium M-edge ratios at the boundary indicate an increase in the number of electrons in the boundary plane. A detailed study of the structure and composition indicates that this is caused by an increase in the number of oxygen vacancies in the grain boundary core that is partially compensated by yttrium segregation. Studies of grain boundaries in an industrial Gd-doped ceria ceramic reveals similar changes in vacancy/dopant profiles indicating that these effects may be generic to grain boundaries in fluorite-structured materials.

    Notizen: The presence of Mo5Si3 in MoSi2 preforms hinders the reactive infiltration of aluminum. To understand the role of Mo5Si3, the kinetics of aluminum infiltration into pure Mo5Si3 is studied. Irrespective of the initial composition (MoSi2 or Mo5Si3) of the preform, the final product always contains Mo(Al,Si)2. However, the aluminum content in the two cases is different: when the preform is MoSi2, the aluminum content is 14–18 at.%, and, when the preform is Mo5Si3, the aluminum content is 25–27 at.%. The activation energy for the reactive infiltration of aluminum into the Mo5Si3 preform is ∼26 kJ/mol.

    Notizen: Sol–gel zirconia thin films were prepared by dip coating in an ethanol solution of zirconium oxychloride. The zirconia films consisted of a completely tetragonal phase and exhibited nanoscale uniformity. They displayed excellent antiwear and friction-reduction performance in sliding against steel. The friction coefficient (0.13–0.15) and the wear life over 5000 sliding cycles were recorded for the films at a sliding speed of 90 mm/min and a load of 0.5 N. The film was characterized by slight scuffing and abrasion at low loads and sliding speeds.
