Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The structural, mechanical, and electrical properties of ceramics based on coprecipitated Nb2(1 − y)Ta2y O5 pentoxides have been studied by scanning probe microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and impedance spectroscopy. We have examined the effect of high-intensity light processing on the structure and properties of the Nb2(1 − y)Ta2y O5 ceramics.
