β¦ Synopsis
We use acetate-citrate combustion to prepare SrHfO 3 powders both undoped and doped with Ce 3+ and Pb 2+ ions in several concentrations, from 0.01 up to 3 mol%. The evolution of their morphological and structural features during the sintering process is studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman experiments. We discuss the dependence of the optical properties, investigated by radioluminescence and time resolved luminescence, on sintering conditions and material structure.

Strontium-doped lanthanum manganite Lal-xSrxMnOa (LSM) is characterized by hexagonal-rhombohedral distorted perovskite-type structure, deriving from the ideal cubic symmetry through rotation of the [MnO6] octahedra around the ternary axis. The extent of distortion and unit cell volume depend on Sr c
