The effects of incorporation of lanthanum (La 3+ ) ions in Na 1/2 Bi 1/2 TiO 3 (NBT) on microstructure and sintering characteristics were studied. As the content of incorporated La 3+ increased in [(Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 ) 1-1.5 x V 0.5 x La x ]TiO 3 , the sintered density reached a maximum at x =0.05 and the grain size decre…

Photo-induced phenomena in glasses excited by two-photon absorption have been studied and compared with those produced by bandgap illumination. The two-photon excitation of As2S3 gives a refractive-index increase, unaccompanied by photodarkening. Raman-scattering spectra show that the excitation increases the density…

Abstract Glauconitic grains are abundant in sandstones and siltstones from Albian and Cenomanian (transition between Lower and Upper Cretaceous) formations of southeastern France. Morphological and crystal-chemical data show that the "green grains" can be considered as glauconite s.s., with minute amounts of pyrite, d…
