Calcium modifiedleadtitanatethinfilms have been prepared from a sol-gel method. Different thermal conditions have been used for the crystallization of the as-deposited amorphous films. The influence of thermal treatment on the perovskite structure and strain of the films is studied by a grazing incidence X-ray diffraction technique (GIXRD). The ferroelectric response of the films is related to
A marked increase in the activity of a Pd/TiO2 catalyst toward the decomposition of salicylic acid was observed compared to that measured for a pure TiO2 film. The observed difference in activity of Pt/TiO2 vs pure TiO2 films was in accordance with predictions made from the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. This study further confirmed Bard's model that the metal cocatalysts provide additional sites for electron transfer to oxygen. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.

Lead titanate precursor gels were prepared using a diol sol-gel system. Water and nitric acid were added to the sols and their effect on the extrusion characteristics of the gels established. After examining the microstructure of the fired fibres obtained from sols containing different water and acid ratios, the merits of incorporating excess lead and/or adding manganese or calcium salts to the sols were also considered. It proved possible to produce unmodified PbTiO3 fibres that were crack-free having a diameter of ca. 250 mum and grain size of ca. 0.3 mum with a density of ca. 7.1 g cm-3. However, the best fibres were achieved from gels containing 2 mol % of added calcium nitrate. These fibres had a density ca. 7.4 g CM-3 and a grain size of ca. 0.3 mum.
