    Notes: In previous report, we succeeded in preparing dense nano-sized ceramics with the compositionof Y- α-sialon (m=1.35, n=0.675) by high-energy mechanical milling followed by spark plasma sintering.The superplastic deformation of the obtained nano-ceramics was studied in this report. A good ductility ofthe nano-sized ceramics has been confirmed, which arised from the nano-sized grains and large amount oftransient liquid phase. The effects of deformation on the phase and microstructural evolution were alsostudied. The nano-sized grains promoted the formation of elongated α-sialon grains during post-annealingat 1850oC for 3 h, which would strengthen and toughen the deformed ceramics

    Notes: Y- α-sialon (m=1.35, n=0.675) ceramics were prepared by high-energy mechanicalmilling followed by spark plasma sintering. The milling promoted not only liquid-phase sintering,but also phase transformation from β-Si3N4 to α-sialon. Under the same holding time of 5 min,milled powder could be completely densified at 1500oC, which is about 250oC lower than thatrequired for as-received powder. The temperature where the phase transformation finished was1600oC and 1750oC for milled and as-received powder, respectively. The grain size of obtaineddense ceramics from milled powder was significantly decreased. Nano-sized dense ceramics havebeen obtained by sintering the milled powder at 1500oC for 5 min. Although 100 % α-sialon has notbeen achieved, the nano-sized ceramics can be used for superplastic deformation, taking advantageof small grain size and large amount of transient liquid phase

    Notes: Rare-earth doped Ca-α-SiAlON phosphors, with the compositions of(Ca1-3/2xREx)m/2Si12-m-nAlm+nOnN16-n (RE = Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb and Dy, 0.5 ≤ m = 2n ≤ 3.0), wereprepared by reaction at 1700oC for 2h under 10 atm N2. The concentration of rare earths varied from 3to 30 at% with respect to Ca. The photoluminescence properties of the powders were investigated atroom temperature. The results show that (i) strong visible emissions are observed in rare-earth dopedCa-α-SiAlONs; (ii) the emission properties can be optimized by tailoring the activator concentrationand the composition of the α-SiAlON host crystal; and (iii) the yellow Eu2+-doped Ca-α-SiAlONphosphors can be used in warm white LEDs

    Notes: Starting from three powder mixtures of 80 vol% SiC (100α, 50α/50β, 100β) and 20 vol% YAG, liquid-phase-sintered silicon carbide ceramics were prepared by hot pressing at 1800°C for 1 h under 25 MPa, and then by hot forging or annealing at 1900°C for 4 h under an applied stress of 25 MPa in argon. The phase transformation and texture development in the as-hot-pressed, hot-forged, and annealed SiC ceramics were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the pole figure measurements. The 6H → 4H polytypic transformation was observed in samples consisting of both α- and β-SiC phases when subjected to compressive deformation but absent in the case of annealing, suggesting the deformation-enhanced solubility of aluminum in SiC. Deformation was also found to enhance the 3C → 4H transformation in the sample containing entirely β-phase, which is due to the accelerated solution-precipitation process assisted by grain boundary sliding. The current study showed that the β- →α-phase transformation had little effect on texture development in SiC. Hot forging generally produced the strongest texture, with the calculated maximum of 2.2 times random in samples started with pure α-SiC phase. The mechanism for texture development was explained based on the microstructural observations.

    Notes: The microstructures of fine-grained β-SiC materials with α-SiC seeds annealed either with or without uniaxial pressure at 1900°C for 4 h in an argon atmosphere were investigated using analytical electron microscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). An applied annealing pressure can greatly retard phase transformation and grain growth. The material annealed with pressure consisted of fine grains with β-SiC as a major phase. In contrast, the microstructure in the material annealed without pressure consisted of elongated grains with half α-SiC. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis showed no differences in the amount of segregation of aluminum and oxygen atoms at grain boundaries, but did show a significant difference in the segregation of yttrium atoms at grain boundaries along SiC grains for the two materials. The increased segregation of yttrium ions at grain boundaries caused by the applied pressure might be the reason for the retarded phase transformation and grain growth. HREM showed a thin secondary phase of 1 nm at the grain boundary interface for both materials. The development of a composite grain consisting of a mixture of β/α polytypes during annealing was a feature common to both materials. The possible mechanisms for grain growth and phase transformation are discussed.

    Notes: Sr2−xCaxNaNb5O15 (SCNN, x= 0.1) piezoelectric ceramics with tetragonal tungsten bonze structure were successfully produced by spark plasma sintering. Part I of this study presented the sintering of these highly dense ceramics. The current work investigates their electrical (dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric) properties and relates them to the sintering parameters (temperature, heating rate, and soaking time) and crystallographic orientation. The results show that the electrical properties of SCNN are enhanced with increasing heating rate and soaking time. Dielectric study reveals a less pronounced diffuse phase transition of SCNN. Anisotropic electrical properties were observed as a result of the preferred crystallographic orientation in the sintered ceramics. The samples sintered at 1200°C for 30 min exhibited the highest electrical properties, and showed the following piezoelectric properties when poled across the direction perpendicular to the pressing direction: electromechanical planar and thickness coupling coefficients of kp= 9.5% and kt= 39.6%, and piezoelectric constant of d33= 121 pC/N (∼45% of the single-crystal value).

    Notes: This letter reports the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of tungsten bronze Sr2−xCaxNaNb5O15 (SCNN, x=0.05–0.35) ceramics. Two dielectric anomalies and a diffuse ferroelectric transition behavior were appreciably observed in the compositions of x=0.05–0.25. The incorporation of smaller calcium cations into the crystal structure resulted in an increase in the Curie temperature, from 279 (x=0.05) to 297 (x=0.35), and a decrease in the permittivity, from 1353 to 543, at their respective Curie temperatures. Ferroelectricity was observed in the compositions with x=0.05–0.25, but absent in the compositions with x=0.30 and 0.35 at room temperature. The maximum spontaneous polarization Ps of 9.1 μC/cm2 and remanent polarization Pr of 3.0 μC/cm2 were achieved in the composition of x=0.15. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Tungsten bronze Sr2−xCaxNaNb5O15 (SCNN, x= 0.1) piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by a novel super-fast sintering technique, i.e., spark plasma sintering (SPS). Sintering was conducted at temperatures ranging from 1000° to 1200°C under vacuum under 35 MPa. The heating rate varied from 30° to 300°C/min and the soaking time was in the range of 5 to 60 min. The microstructure and the phase identification were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The density of the sintered ceramics increased with an increase in sintering temperature as well as in heating rate. Materials with a near-theoretical density could be attained by sintering at 1200°C for 5 min with a heating rate of 300°C/min, exhibiting a homogeneous and fine-grained microstructure (grain size about 2.7 μm) and a uniform translucency. A tetragonal tungsten bronze phase was identified in ceramics sintered at temperatures above 1200°C, whereas the tungsten bronze phase transformed to a SrNb2O6-type phase in the materials sintered at temperatures below 1200°C. XRD patterns demonstrated a preferred crystallographic orientation of the SCNN grains with their c-axes perpendicular to the pressing direction.

    Notes: This study investigates the thermal and electrical properties of SiC ceramics with a combination of Y2O3 and rare-earth-oxide additions as sintering additives, by comparing four types of SiC starting powders varying in particle size and chemical composition. The powder mixtures were plasma-activation sintered to full densities and then annealed at high temperatures for grain growth. The thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of the SiC ceramics were measured at room temperature by a laser-flash technique and a current–voltage method, respectively. The results indicate that the thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of the SiC ceramics are dependent on the chemical composition and particle size of the starting powders. The thermal conductivities observed for all of the annealed materials with a rare-earth La2O3 sintering additive were 〉160 W·(m·K)−1, although low electrical resistivity was observed for all materials, in the range 3.4–450 Ω·cm. High thermal conductivity, up to 242 W·(m·K)−1, was achieved in an annealed material using a commercial 270 nm SiC starting powder.

    Notes: Silicon nitride–silicon oxynitride (Si3N4–Si2N2O) in situ composites have been fabricated via either the annealing or the superplastic deformation of sintered Si3N4 that has been doped with a silica-containing additive. In this study, quantitative texture measurements, including pole figures and X-ray diffraction patterns, are used in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniques to examine the degree of preferred orientation and texture-development mechanisms in these materials. The results indicate that (i) only superplastic deformation can produce strong textures in the β-Si3N4 matrix, as well as Si2N2O grains that are formed in situ; (ii) texture development in the β-Si3N4 matrix mainly results from grain rotation via grain-boundary sliding; and (iii) for Si2N2O, a very strong strain-dependent texture occurs in two stages, namely, preferred nucleation and anisotropic grain growth.
