Strontium-90 is a radioactive by-product of fission reactions within nuclear reactors that generate electricity. About 3% of the mass of spent nuclear fuel consists of fission products including strontium-90. Because of its high decay energy and its long half-life of 30 years—it takes hundreds of years to decay naturally to harmless levels—strontium-90 is classified a high-level waste. Strontiu...

The role of anisotropic misfit strains on the spontaneous polarization, dielectric properties, and pyroelectric response of 110 oriented Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 BST 60/40 thin films on 100 orthorhombic substrates is analyzed theoretically. The anisotropic in-plane strain state and the rotation of the elastic and the electrostrictive constants of the BST 60/40 films result in strongly directional and uni...

In this work, a broad overview in the field of strontium titanate (ST, SrTiO3)-, barium (BT, BaTiO3)- and (BST, BaSrTiO3)-based gas sensors is presented discussed. The above-mentioned materials are characterized by perovskite structure with long-term stability therefore very promising for commercial gas-sensing applications. Within last 20 years, number papers where ST, BT BST were tested as ga...

Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) offer compact, low-cost, all solid-state high-power microwave (HPM) generation. This article experimentally investigates the RF output power for composite-based 10, 25, and 50 Ω NLTLs used as a combined pulse forming line HPM source. We manufactured coaxial containing 10% barium strontium titanate 15% nickel zinc ferrite encased in polydimethylsiloxane. The ...

Ferroelectric thin films are currently being used to develop tunable microwave circuits based on the electric-field dependence of the dielectric constant. (Ba0.5Sr0.5)TiO3 ~BST! films prepared by sputtering on Pt/TiO2 /SiO2 /Si substrates are found to exhibit a capacitance change ~tunability! of nearly 4:1. Higher tunability has been attributed to the ~100! texturing of the BST films and is a r...

The adsorption of barium ions on barium titanate in an aqueous solution was studied by means of batch technique as a function of Ba(II) concentration, temperature and solution pH using Ba-140 as radiotracer. The results show that adsorption is essentially complete in ca 180min and the steady state values of adsorption at various concentrations agree well with the classical Freundlich isotherm a...
