    Effect of annealing-temperature-assisted phase evolution on conductivity of solution combustion processed calcium vanadium oxide films
    (Springer, 2018) Manjunath, G.; Vardhan, R.V.; Salian, A.; Jagannatha, R.; Kedia, M.; Mandal, S.
    In thiswork, the effect of annealing temperature on the conductivity of solution-combustion-synthesized calcium vanadium oxide (CVO) films was studied. Conductivity was tailored by the appearance of the phases like CaVO3, CaV2O5 and Ca2V2O7 as a function of annealing temperature; CaVO3 and CaV2O5 are responsible for high conductivity, whereas V5+ presence in Ca2V2O7 contributes towards dielectric nature. Evolution of phases of CVO was identified through X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A detailed conductivity measurement as a function of annealing temperature helps us to identify the decreasing trend of conductivity with increasing temperature up to 400°C; beyond this it behaves like an insulator. There was a stable conductivity while aging the films in ambient for a few days. This study revealed safe application temperature domain of CVO, and a clear correlation of electrical conductivity with the in-depth structural-compositional-morphological study. © Indian Academy of Sciences.

    Role of Mg–O on phase stabilization in solution combustion processed rocksalt structured high entropy oxide (CoCuMgZnNi)O with high dielectric performance
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Salian, A.; Praveen, L.L.; P, S.K.; Mandal, S.
    High entropy oxide (CoCuMgZnNi)O with a phase pure rocksalt was synthesized using low-temperature solution combustion. The precursors were found to combust at 270 °C and 400 °C was considered to be the formation temperature. The high entropy rocksalt oxide (HERO) fully stabilized at 1000 °C shows a single-phase, fcc rocksalt structure with an Fm-3m space group. HERO displays one of its parent oxide Mg–O structural properties as both belong to the cubic family and had lattice parameters very close to each other. The lower cation systems exhibited a transition from spinel to rocksalt structure with the addition of Mg–O. Raman of HERO affirmed a completely disordered occupancy of various metal cations, the formation of HERO at 400 °C, and phase stabilization at 1000 °C. Dielectric measurements at room temperature showed high permittivity (κ) with magnitudes ∼1.9 × 103, 4.7× 101, and 0.9 × 101 at 100, 1k, and 100k Hz. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

    Phase stabilized solution combustion processed (Ce0.2La0.2Pr0.2Sm0.2Y0.2)O1.6-δ: An exploration of the dielectric properties
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Salian, A.; K, A.P.; Mandal, S.
    High entropy oxide (HEO) (Ce0.2La0.2Pr0.2Sm0.2Y0.2)O1.6-δ with a phase pure fluorite was synthesized using low-temperature solution combustion. A low-temperature formation of HEO was evidenced at 500 ºC. The HEO formation at 500 ºC was due to the exothermicity of the combustion redox reaction, where the internal temperature might have reached a much higher temperature for a limited amount of time. The presence of Sm2O3 and Y2O3 was visible upto 500 ºC, while La2O3 was detected up to 900 ºC and the HEO fully got stabilized at 1000 ºC with a single-phase, fcc fluorite structure with an Fm-3 m space group. The HEO displays one of its parent oxide Ce-O structural properties as both belong to the fluorite family and had lattice parameters very close to each other. The presence of a secondary phase in the 2 and 3-cation systems and the display of a single phase in the 4 and 5-cation systems indicated the role of configurational entropy in phase stabilization. Raman of HEO also affirmed the formation of HEO at 500 °C, the complete elimination of secondary phases at 1000 °C, and a fully disordered occupancy of various metal cations with severe lattice distortion. A Flake morphology with a nanogranular cluster on the surface was displayed. Dielectric measurements at room temperature showed permittivity (κ) ≈ 29 – 5.7 from 100 Hz to 1 MHz. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
