Direct crystallization of fine-particle BiNi₁₋ₓFeₓO₃ from a highly oxidized amorphous precursor (IMAGE)
Caption
A highly oxidized amorphous precursor crystallizes directly into BiNi₁₋ₓFeₓO₃ under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions. In situ diffraction measurements show formation of the target phase at approximately 750 °C, while microscopy confirms the production of fine particles. This direct crystallization pathway shortens synthesis time and avoids the need for external oxidizing agents.
