Orthorhombic NaNbO3 particles obtained via the MAH route show photoluminescence emission related to the structural disorder effect at the medium-range.
The microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was used to obtain α-Ag 2 WO 4 . Rietveld refinement confirmed that α-Ag 2 WO 4 is stable in the orthorhombic phase, without secondary phase. However, fieldeffect scanning electron microscope analysis showed that α-Ag 2 WO 4 nanorods surfaces contain silver nanoparticles, confirmed by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy by the peak observed at 374.39 eV. In addition to metallic Ag, other Ag oxidation states were also observed on the surface. Hence, Ag (I) as Ag 2 O and Ag (I) as Ag 2 WO 4 also were identified. DC measurements exhibited a high capacity of charge storage, nevertheless, with a large loss tangent (0.12 µC.cm -2 .V -1 ) and no residual polarization for the voltage range between -100 V and +100 V. AC measurements at frequencies less than 275 Hz, revealed that ionic polarization is dominant, whereas at frequencies higher than 275 Hz, the electronic behavior predominates. The potential of electromagnetic energy conversion in thermal was observed from loss tangent analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
