The lanthanoid hafnates Ln2Hf2O7 (Ln= La, Pr, Nd, Sm–Tm) were studied using a
combination of synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction together with X-ray …

Highlights•We irradiated the La 2 Zr 2 O 7 pyrochlore using 1 MeV Xe 4+ ions at~ 88 K and
300 K.•Damage increases with ion fluence at both temperatures and is significantly higher …

The liquid electrolyte used in traditional lithium-ion batteries has risks of leakage,
combustion and explosion. Solid electrolyte is one of the effective strategies to solve the …

The role of grain size on the electrical properties of nanocrystalline La 2 Zr 2 O 7 (LZO)
ceramics prepared by chemical co-precipitation is reported. Grain size from 10 to 70 nm was …

In this study, the irradiation response of Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 nanocrystalline ceramic was
systematically studied under 5 MeV Xe 20+ with radiation dose ranging from 2.6 dpa to 20.4 …

The influence of the cation radii ratio (γ= 1.37–1.61) and temperature of the isothermal
annealing on the specific features of fluorite–pyrochlore phase transition in Ln 2 O 3: ZrO 2 …

Diffusion in complex oxides is critical to ionic transport, radiation damage evolution,
sintering, and aging. In complex oxides such as pyrochlores, anionic diffusion is dramatically …

To explore materials with high ionic conductivity without any heterovalent substitution, a non-
stoichiometric Nd2− xZr2+ xO7+ x/2 (− 0.2≤ x≤ 0.4) pyrochlore system was synthesized via …

Solid oxide materials were prepared via a solid state reaction route with a stoichiometry
composition: x% of CaZrO3 and (100− x)% of Gd2Zr2O7 (x= 10, 20, 33.3, 40). Powder X-ray …

It is necessary to study the self-irradiation effects of nuclear waste forms under α-decay in
the long term storage. In the present work, accelerated irradiation experiments were …
