The Structural, Optical, Electronic, and Magnetic Properties Oxygen
Words: 642 Pages: 2 2460The structural, optical, electronic, and magnetic properties were studied. XRD confirmed the cubic fluorite structure of all the samples. The nature of the variation in crystallite size and lattice parameter confirmed the incorporation of Pr ions in the CeO2 lattice. We find that oxygen vacancy creation occurs more easily under tensile strain than under compressive strain. This is in good agreement with the experimental results. There are more oxygen vacancies and associated Ce3+ with the expansion of the lattice parameter. […]
