Conductivity enhancement in mechanosynthesized Bi2O3
Abstract
Nanostructured Bi2O3 was prepared through mechanical alloying method. Detailed microstructural information was obtained after Rietveld refinement of the prepared samples. The Transmission Electron Microscope images confirmed the crystallinity of the sample. The average crystallite size decreases whereas microstrain increases due to milling. The ionic conductivity of the milled sample was found to have increased few orders than the unmilled sample. The change in structural and electrical properties due to milling were discussed and correlated.
