The Optical Properties and Radiation Stability of Metal Oxide Powders Modified with Nanoparticles

The book is focused on the nanoparticle-based modification of micron-size ZnO, TiO2, ZrO2, Al2O3, CeO2, and Y2O3 oxide powders and BaSO4, BaTiZrO3, and LaSrMnO3 solid solutions applied for enamels, paints, construction materials, ceramics, and electric insulators. It presents the results of studies of the grain size distribution, phase composition, structure, optical properties, and physical processes that occur in micropowders modified with ZnO, TiO2, ZrO2, Al2O3, CeO2, Y2O3, SiO2, ZrO2/Y2O3, and Al2O3/CeO2 nanoparticles and subsequently irradiated with accelerated electrons and protons.

The text will be helpful to researchers, engineers, structural developers, postgraduates, master’s students, and undergraduate students who study the processes that occur during the synthesis and modification of inorganic powders with nanoparticles of various oxides differing in the size and type of cations, in their mass and charge, and in the size and surface area of nanoparticles per se.
