Alpha-Si3N4 powder mixed with SiO2 and Ln2O3 (Ln=La, Gd or Yb) was heat-treated at 1750-1900°C. After removing the glassy phase, the morphologies of β-Si3N4 crystals were quantitatively analyzed. The aspect ratios of β-Si3N4 crystals doped with different lanthanide oxides increased in the order of La2O3>Gd2O3>Yb2O3 at…

The degradation of pure silica MCM-41 materials prepared under various synthesis conditions has been investigated. Materials from preparations titrated with acid during synthesis not only show improved long range ordering of the pore system but also greater stability. This effect is greatest in unheated preparations.
