Mechanochemical synthesis of indium complex oxides (InAO(4); A = P, V, Nb, Ta, Sb) and their solid solutions

摘要

Indium complex oxides, InAO(4) (A = P, V, Nb, Ta, Sb), were synthesized by milling of the In2O3 and A(2)O(5) mixture using planetary ball mill at room temperature. Formation of these compounds was monitored by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and was found to be complete with 240 or 480 min. This method has been successfully extended to the synthesis of solid solutions, InP1-xVxO4 and InTa1-x NbxO4, between these indium complex oxides.
