Cd impurities in Vanadium oxides
2021 - BURIMOVA, ANASTASIA; LEITE NETO, OSMAR F.; BOSCH-SANTOS, BRIANNA; CORREA, EDUARDO L.; PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.D.; SALES, TATIANE S.N.; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, IBERE S.; COSTA, MESSIAS S.; COSTA, CLEIDILANE; DANG, THANH T.; ZYABKIN, DMITRY; VAN STIPHOUT, KOEN K.F.; GERAMI, ADELEH M.; CORREIA, JOAO M.; SCHELL, JULIANA; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.
The number of metastable phases, the capriciousness at changing external conditions, and lack of accurate description of local behavior already resulted in severe misinterpretation of experimental outcomes for vanadium oxides[1–3]. The scope of already implemented and potential applications of vanadium oxides is, indeed, impressive, particularly as a battery cathode for energy storage[ 4]. Doping is widely exploited as a means of application-oriented tuning of the material properties. The properties of each particular phase may be tuned by doping to satisfy specific requirements and/or improve the functional performance. In the work here reported, electric quadrupole interaction on 111mCd nuclei implanted in vanadium pentaoxide doped with different concentrations of Cd were measured with time-differential perturbed angular correlations (TDPAC). Pure V2O5 as well as doped with 1%, 5%, and 10% of Cd were measured at different temperatures. To correlate the results with the possible formation of different phases and compounds, samples of VO2, CdV2O6, and Cd2V2O7 were also measured. The intention is to provide a comprehensive description, at an atomic level, of the doping effects on the local crystal structure and the electronic structure around the impurity and the consequences on the properties of the host oxides. Preliminary results show that the probability of formation of cadmium vanadates is low but the temperature and atmosphere of measurements have an important effect on the local scale.

Ceramic materials of the perovkista were identified as candidates for immobilization of medium and high levels of radioactive waste due to the fact that they are thermodynamically chemically and physically stable. Because it is a nuclear technique, PAC spectroscopy has great precision and efficiency in the measurement of local hyperfine fields on an atomic scale, constituting an ideal tool for the investigation of the atomic origin of structural phenomena, such as the influence of defects in the macroscopic properties of many materials or the local neighborhood of metallic atoms in the oxide structure. The samples has been prepared by sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction. In this study the time differential perturbed angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy was used to study the structure of CaTiO3 and the possible defects made by radiation exposure. The probe nucleus used in this research was 111Cd. The PAC method is based on the hyperfine interaction of nuclear moments of the probe with extra nuclear magnetic fields or electric field gradients (EFGs). In the case of quadrupolar electric interaction, the experimental measurement gives the quadrupolar frequency νQ with respective distribution δ as well as the asymmetry parameter η of EFG. The γ-γ PAC measurements were carried out using a standard set up with four conical BaF2 detector scintillators with a time resolution of 0.6 ns (FWHM).
RE-doped Fe3O4 (RE = Eu, Gd, Er) nanoparticles for nanothermometry
2019 - CORREA, E.; BOSCH-SANTOS, B.; SALES, T.; CABRERA-PASCA, G.; CORREA, B.S.; NETO, O.F.; CARBONARI, A.W.; OLESHKO, V.; DENNIS, C.
Temperature affects every physical system, chemical reaction, and biological process. A new method, magnetic nanothermometry, is being explored to measure temperature throughout a volume. This method uses large changes in magnetization as function of temperature, which cannot be obtained with current magnetic nano-objects (MNO). To get a large magnetization change we have examined the magnetic properties of RE-doped Fe3O4 (RE = Eu, Gd, Er) MNO. Samples were synthesized by co-precipitation. For the doped material, RE+3 were chosen in order to replace the Fe+3 in the (Fe+2)(Fe+3)2O4 structure. Structural characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Hyperfine interaction parameters as a function of temperature (300 K to 873 K) were obtained by perturbed angular g-g correlation (PAC) spectroscopy using 111In(111Cd) as probe nuclei. To fit the PAC spectra, the 111Cd probes were considered to occupy three sites: tetrahedral, octahedral, and a third site where the probes are located at the nanoparticle surface [1]. The hyperfine magnetic field Bhf was calculated using the Larmor equation, and its behavior as a function of temperature follows a Brillouin-type transition. For example, the Curie temperature (TC) obtained for 5% Er-doped was approx. 846 K (FIG. 1), which is higher than the expected TC for pure Fe3O4 (approx. 722 K) [2]. Magnetization as a function of temperature shows a 70 % change in magnetization around 100 K for Er-doped Fe3O4 (FIG.2), which is an improvement in temperature on pure Fe3O4 (below 50 K) [3]. Current work is focused on correlating the temperature range in which the magnetization change occurs and determining if it depends on the dopant element.
Influence of oxygen atmosphere in the annealing of HfO2 thin films studied by perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy
2016 - CAVALCANTE, FABIO H. de M.; SALES, TATIANE S.N.; DAY, TRAVIS; LEITE NETO, OSMAR F.S.; PEREIRA, LUCIANO F.D.; SAXENA, RAJENDRA N.; CARBONARI, ARTUR W.; MENONI, CARMEN
The thin films of HfO2 have been grown by dual ion beam sputtering (DIBS) on transparent quartz substrates (grade silica) and silicon wafers. The major benefits of the DIBS process are the increased packing density of the deposited films which makes them more bulk-like, the improved adhesion resulting from the mixing of the materials at the interfaces between each layer, and the reduction of the high tensile stress in the layers. Deposition conditions were adjusted to obtain polycrystalline as well as amorphous films. In this study the time differential perturbed angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy was used to study the influence of oxygen atmosphere in the annealing of the HfO2 thin film. The PAC method is based on the hyperfine interaction of nuclear moments of the probe with extra nuclear magnetic fields or electric field gradients (EFGs). In the case of quadrupolar interaction, the experimental measurement gives the quadrupolar frequency νQ with respective distribution δ as well as the asymmetry parameter η of EFG. The presence of the 180Hf isotope in natural hafnium allows the possibility of using 181Ta as a probe nucleus formed by irradiating the samples with neutrons via 180Hf(n,γ)181Hf reaction. After irradiation, samples were annealed in oxygen atmosphere at different temperatures. The γ-γ PAC measurements were then carried out using a standard set up with four conical BaF2 detector scintillators with a time resolution of 0.6 ns (FWHM). Results show a structural transition from monoclinic to tetragonal in the annealed samples.
