| Title: | Binuclear and tetranuclear copper(II) complexes containing ligands derived from phenol or hydroquinone |
| Author: | Reed-Mundell, Joseph Jerome |
| Description: | The defect structure and the dc electrical conductivity of TiO2-NbO2 solid solution have been studied by using time-of-flight neutron diffraction, Nb K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and dc electrical conductivity measurement as a function of composition. The oxygen content in the solid solutions was determined using thermogravimetric analysis, and the results of other experiments were analyzed and correlated to establish a defect structure that controls the dc electrical conductivity. The lattice parameters and the interstitial defect occupancy were determined using the Rietveld method applied to neutron diffraction results. The valence and the coordination state of Nb ions were determined through XANES and EXAFS analyses of Nb K-edge x-ray absorption data. The formation of Nb-Nb pairs postulated by other researchers was directly observed by Nb K-edge EXAFS analysis. The formation of Nb-Nb pairs was also noticed in the results of neutron diffraction analysis and dc electrical conductivity measurement. A conductivity maximum was observed at Nb0.1Ti0.9O2, after which the conductivity decreases with increasing Nb concentration. The decreasing conductivity with increasing Nb concentration is attributed to the pair formation, by which charge car riers are localized between the two Nb ions |
