Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1134/s0036023606030065
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Ferrites YbSrFe2O5.5 and YbBaFe2O5.5 are prepared by reacting ytterbium(III) oxide and iron(III) oxide with strontium or barium carbonate in the solid phase. The ferrites crystallize in the orthorhombic system as shown by indexing of their X-ray diffraction patterns with homology modeling: for YbSrFe2O5.5, a = 10.74 ± 0.006 Å, b = 10.93 ± 0.006 Å, c = 16.64 ± 0.046 Å, V 0 = 1953.3 Å3, Z = 16, V subcell 0 = 122.08 Å3, ρX-ray = 6.26 g/cm3, ρpycn = 6.18 ± 0.9 g/cm3; for YbaBaFe2O5.5, a = 10.74 ± 0.013 Å, b = 10.99 ± 0.004 Å, c = 17.16 ± 0.017 Å, V 0 = 2025.4 Å3, Z = 16, V subcell 0 = 126.59 Å3, ρX-ray = 6.69 g/cm3, ρpycn = 6.40 ± 0.32 g/cm3. The calorimetric heat capacities of the ferrites are studied from 298.15 to 673 K. The C ∼ f(T) curves show λ peaks at 448 K for YbSrFe2O5.5 and at 373 K for YbBaFe2O5.5, likely, due to second-order phase transitions. The dielectric constants and electrical resistances of the ferrites are studied as functions of temperature from 293 to 493 K.
