简介:Inthiswork,boththethermalexpansionandelectricalconductivityofnanocrystallineLa2Mo2O9werestudied.ThenanocrystallinepowderofLa2Mo2O9wasobtainedbysol-gelmethod,andwiththehelpofSHP(superhighpressure)upto4.5×104atmat700℃forashorttime,andthenanocrystallinepowderwasdensifiedwithoutobviousparticlesizegrowth.TheelectricalconductivityofnanocrystallineLa2Mo2O9wasoneorderofmagnitudelowerthanthatofthemicrocrystallinesampleatthesametemperature.Owingtothephasetransition,themicrocrystallineLa2Mo2O9hasanabruptincreaseofthermalexpansionwithapeakvalueof48×10-6K-1at556℃.Forthenanocrystallinematerial,thepeakvalueincreasesto112×10-6K-1at520℃.Ontheotherhand,above600℃thesignificantgrowthofparticlesizeofthenanocrystallineLa2Mo2O9wasobserved,accompanyingbyatremendousincreaseofthermalexpansionwithapeakvalueofthirdhigherthanthatofLa2Mo2O9.
