Abstract

The defects/nanopores conversion in the Cu0.1Ni0.8Co0.2Mn1.9O4 ceramics caused by addition phase and monolithization process was studied by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy using three-component decomposition of spectra within mixed positron- and positronium-trapping modes. It is established that a larger amount of addition NiO phase in ceramics resulted in void fragmentation with future agglomeration due to monolitization processes. The NiO extracted near intergranular boundaries formed new positron-trapping sites in the Cu0.1Ni0.8Co0.2Mn1.9O4 ceramics. Monolithization of ceramics is accompanied by agglomeration of nanopores with radius centered near 0.3 nm.
