Abstract:Formation of substituted lithium ferrite Li 0.5 Sm x Fe 2.5-x O 4 (where x = 0.06 and 0.2) from Sm 2 O 3 /Fe 2 O 3 /Li 2 CO 2 precursors was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. The mixture of powders was subjected to preliminary mechanical activation in a planetary mill. We analyzed samples based on the precursors and synthesized at 900 °C for 4 h in a laboratory furnace. It was found that ball milling of the precursors m… Show more
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.
