Nanocrystals of a New Complex Perovskite Dielectric Ba2TmSbO6
Nanocrystals of a new complex perovskites ceramic oxide, barium thulium antimony oxide – Ba2TmSbO6,were synthesized using a single step auto-ignition combustion process. The combustion product was single phase and composed of aggregates of nanocrystals of sizes in the range 20–50 nm. Ba2TmSbO6 crystallized in cubic perovskite structure with lattice parameter, a = 8.4101A˚ . The polycrystalline fluffy combustion product was sintered to high density (∼97%) at ∼1450 ◦C for 4 h. Resistivity of the sintered specimen was ∼5 M/cm. The Ba2TmSbO6 has dielectric constant (ε) and dielectric loss (tan ı) of 17 and ∼10−4 at 5 MHz; the new material would probably be developed as a low-loss dielectric material

Optimized Combustion Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured Ba2RESbO6 Perovskites
Combustion of citrate complex has been a popular choice to synthesize nanocrystals of transition metal oxides in a single-step process. The amount of citric acid used for combustion is conventionally calculated based on the total valence of the oxidizing and reducing agents while keeping the equivalent ratio unity such that combustion energy is a maximum. This chapter demonstrates by employing quantum chemical calculations that the amount of citric acid could be reduced to nearly half if prepared for appreciable amounts. Transition metal oxides belong to quaternary double perovskites, with general formula Ba2

Optimization Of Citrate Complex Combustion For Synthesis Of Transition Metal Oxide Nanostructures
Combustion of citrate complex is a popular choice to synthesize nanocrystals of transition metal oxides in a single-step process. The amount of citric acid used for combustion is conventionally calculated based on the total valence of the oxidizing and reducing agents while keeping the equivalent ratio unity such that combustion energy is a maximum. This paper demonstrates by employing quantum chemical calculations that the amount of citric acid could be reduced to nearly two-third if prepared for appreciable amounts.

Recursive digital filter for fast visual evoked potential estimation and classification
Generally, visual evoked potential (VEP) estimation requires power spectrum computation. Here VEP is estimated using a recursive digital filter, which is faster and simpler to design. The method assumes VEP can be represented by a 40 Hz spectrum and the filter extracts a 40 Hz signal in the time domain, circumventing the normal procedure of power spectrum computation the normal procedure of power spectrum computation the normal procedure of power spectrum computation. Experimental results validate the method for discriminating alcoholics from control subjects

Development, Characterization, Sintering, Dielectric and Optical Properties of NdBa2ZrO5·5 Nanocrystals
Nanocrystalline NdBa2ZrO5 ·5 has been successfully synthesized through a single step auto-ignition combustion route for the first time. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the combustion product is phase pure and has an ordered cubic perovskite structure. The phase transitions and thermal stability of the nanopowder were investigated by differential thermal and thermogravimetric analyses. Transmission electron microscopy results indicated that the particle sizes are 20–30 nm. Selected area electron diffraction pattern has shown that as-prepared powder is polycrystalline in nature. The optical absorption spectra analysis confirmed that the material falls to the semiconducting range with a bandgap of ~3 ·69 eV and therefore, could be used as transparent wide bandgap semiconductor. The relative density of the sintered sample is ~96% at 1510 °C for 2 h. The surface morphology of the sintered pellet has been studied by scanning electron microscopy and the average grain size observed is ~0·7 μm. Dielectric constant (ε r) of NdBa2ZrO5·5 at 5 MHz is 29·6 and loss factor (tan δ) is 4 ×10 − 2 at room temperature
