Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

High-performance ceramic functional materials—such as dielectric, thermoelectric, electrolyte, and semiconducting materials—are in high demand for various modern applications, ranging from energy conversion systems to electronic devices. The research and application of these materials are inherently multidisciplinary, bridging materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering, and other fields. To advance this area, it is crucial to decode the intricate relationships among microstructure, properties, and high-performance functionalities of advanced ceramics through integrated approaches that combine novel processing methods, computational modeling, and advanced characterization techniques. Articles exploring breakthroughs in functional ceramics, addressing the intrinsic processing–structure–property relationships, and proposing new research strategies are particularly encouraged.

Abstract
Fine powders of erbium niobate-tantalates ErNbxTa1−xO4 (x = 0; 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 0.7; 0.9; 1) have been synthesized by the liquid-phase method in this study. Ceramic samples have been prepared using conventional sintering from these powders. Rietveld refinement [...] Read more.
Fine powders of erbium niobate-tantalates ErNbxTa1−xO4 (x = 0; 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 0.7; 0.9; 1) have been synthesized by the liquid-phase method in this study. Ceramic samples have been prepared using conventional sintering from these powders. Rietveld refinement of XRD patterns of polycrystals determined the phase composition and clarified the parameters of the phase structure of ErNbxTa1−xO4 solid solutions depending on the Nb/Ta ratio. The morphological features of the microstructure of erbium niobate-tantalate ceramics have been studied. Their mechanical properties, strength characteristics (Young’s modulus, microhardness) and critical stress intensity factor of the first kind KIC have been estimated. The photoluminescent properties of ceramic solid solutions of erbium niobate-tantalates depending on the composition have been studied. Dark and photoinduced toxicity of finely dispersed ErNbO4 powders have been studied in relation to Gram-positive, Gram-negative and spore-forming microorganisms. The best indicators of antibacterial activity of ErNbO4 have been demonstrated in relation to Gram-positive cells of Micrococcus sp. The discovered properties open up the possibility of not only traditional use as functional materials, but also the use of these materials for disinfection of surfaces, water and biological tissues.
