A Robust Cost-Effective Spectrophotometric Method for Nb Determination in Refractory Nb-doped Gadolinium Zirconate: Overcoming Matrix Dissolution Challenges. [PDF]
ABSTRACT A simple, robust and cost‐effective analytical methodology was developed for the determination of niobium in highly refractory materials: Nb‐doped gadolinium zirconate (Gd2Zr2O7:Nb) and niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5). The challenge of digesting these matrices was successfully accomplished by establishing two independent dissolution procedures: (i ...

Frustrated ferroelectricity in niobate pyrochlores [PDF]
The crystal structures of the A2B2O7-x Niobium-based pyrochlores Y2(Nb0.86Y0.14)2O6.91, CaYNb2O7, and Y2NbTiO7 are reported, determined by powder neutron diffraction. These compounds represent the first observation of B-site displacements in the pyrochlore structure: the B-site ions are found to be displaced from the ideal pyrochlore positions ...

Magnetic frustration in lead pyrochlores [PDF]
The rich phase diagrams of magnetically frustrated pyrochlores have maintained a high level of interest over the past 20 years. To experimentally explore these phase diagrams requires a means of tuning the relevant interactions. One approach to achieve this is chemical pressure, that is, varying the size of the non-magnetic cation. Here, we report on a

Universal geometric frustration in pyrochlores [PDF]
AbstractMaterials with the pyrochlore/fluorite structure have diverse technological applications, from magnetism to nuclear waste disposal. Here we report the observation of structural instability present in the pyrochlores A2Zr2O6Oʹ (A = Pr, La) and Yb2Ti2O6Oʹ, that exists despite ideal stoichiometry, ideal cation-ordering, the absence of lone pair ...
