Doped Nanopowders: Sythesis, Characterisation, Applications (Solid State Phenomena, Part B: Diffusion and Defect Data)

Paperback, xiii + 276 pages, NOT ex-library. Mild wear, clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. A minor tear on the lower spine. -- The symposium brought together scientists to share their experiences in nanopowders doped with ions of rare earth elements, transition elements, or other metals. Questions of doping levels, solubility levels, dopant distribution & location, aspects of scaling up production were some of the areas of interest. -- Contents: 1 Synthesis of Nanopowders [Vapour Phase Synthesis of Nanocrystalline in Situ YAG:Ce; Synthesis of Nano-Powder Materials Using Spray-Pyrolysis Method; Microwave-Assisted Hydrothermal Synthesis as a Rapid Route Towards Manganite Preparation; Growth and Properties of Ytterbium Doped KY(WO4)2 Nanocomposites; Synthesis Improvement of Yb3+ - Activated SnO2 Nanocrystals; Optimization of Conditions of Preparation of YAG Nanopowders for Sintering of Translucent Ceramics; Effects of Oxidized and Oxide-Free Boron on the Mg-B-H Nanohydrides Transformation in the Nearly Nanosized Powders; Comparative Analysis of ZnS:Mn2+ Nanophosphors Prepared by Hydrothermal and Low Temperature Precipitation Methods] 2 Characterisation of Nanoparticle Structures [Doping and Characterisation of Nanocrystalline Materials; Nanocomposite Powders by Evaporation Driven Self Assembly During Spray Drying: Some New Insights on the Structure Modifications; Ceria-Zirconia Nanoparticles Doped with La or Gd: Effect of the Doping Cation on the Real Structure; Metastabilization of Tetragonal Zirconia by Doping with Low Amounts of Silica; Particle Size Distribution of ZrO2:Pr3+ – Influences of pH, High Power Ultrasound, Surfactant and Dopant Quantity; Effect of Yttrium & Indium Doping on the Structure & Electrical Properties of Zinc-Ferrite Nanoparticles; Effects of Thermal Treatment on the Structure of Eu:YAG Nanopowder; Evaluation & X-ray Induced Modification of the Cerium Oxidation State in Cerium Calixarene Complexes] 3 Characterisation of Optical Properties [Luminescence of Doped Nanoparticles of Wide Band Gap II-VI Compounds; Luminescence Properties of ZnO:Al Nanopowders Obtained by Sol-gel, Plasma & Vaporization-Condensation Methods; Zirconia Based Nanomaterials for Oxygen Sensors: Generation, Characterisation & Optical Properties; Influence of ZrO2 Containing 10% Eu3+ on the Polyurethane Hard Domain Structure in Nanocomposites with Luminescence Properties; Host Size Effects on Optical Properties of Y2O3:Eu3+ & Gd2O3:Eu3+ Nanoparticles Synthesized by Laser Pyrolysis; Concentration Dependent Fluorescence Lifetime in Nanocrystalline Y2O3:Eu Phosphors; Time-Resolved Luminescence Characteristics of Cerium Doped YAG Nanocrystals; Optical Properties of ZnS:Mn2+ Yellow Nanophosphor Prepared by Spray Pyrolysis] 4 Characterisation of Magneto-Electrical Properties [Effect of the A-Site Randomness on Magnetotransport Properties of PrBaMn2O6 Manganites; FMR Study of Carbon Coated Cobalt Nanoparticles Dispersed in a Paraffin Matrix; Spectroscopic & Magnetic Properties of Gadolinium Macroacyclic & Macrobicyclic Complexes; Magneto-Chemical Properties of Some New Ni & Co Rare-Earth Metal Tungstates; Temperature Dependence of the FMR Spectra of Polymer Composites with Nanocrystalline [alpha]-Fe/C Filler; Revisiting Local Electric Fields on Close-Packed Metal Surfaces: Theory Versus Experiments; High Throughput Screening of the Sensing Properties of Doped SmFeO3] 5 Catalytic Properties [Pt-Supported Nanocrystalline Ceria-Zirconia Doped with La, Pr or Gd: Factors Controlling Syngas Generation in Partial Oxidation/Autothermal Reforming of Methane or Oxygenates; Catalytic Decomposition of Ethylene on Nanocrystalline Cobalt; Catalytic Activity for Methane Flameless Combustion & Thermal Stability of Nano-Sized Lanthanum Cobaltites Doped with Ce, Pr & Tb; Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes as a Support for Platinum Catalysts for the Hydrodechlorination of Carbon Tetrachloride & Dichlorodifluoromethane].…
