Lead titanate (PT) ceramics co-doped with 8 to 13 mol% Ni-Nb, by substituting titanium ions, were prepared by conventional ceramic method and the influence of Ni-Nb doping level on their morpho-structural, electromechanical and dielectric properties was investigated. Dense tetragonal PT ceramics were obtained for 8 to 12 mol% Ni-Nb co-doping. Lattice anisotropy decreased from 1.053 to 1.046 with increasing doping level. Large thickness coupling factors of 0.4 were obtained for 8, 11, and 12 mol% Ni-Nb. Large electromechanical anisotropy of 10 was obtained for 8 mol% Ni-Nb. It was found that Ni-Nb co-doping has both softening and hardening effects as a function of donor or acceptor behavior of different amounts of Ni-Nb. For 13 mol% Ni-Nb, segregation of a small amount of a secondary phase occurs, lattice constants and tetragonality significantly decrease and the resulting ceramic becomes very hard.

The hydrogen/deuterium sorption properties of NiTiNb synthesized by the vacuum induction melting technique were measured between 400 and 495 °C for pressure lower than 3 bar. The Sieverts law is valid up to H(D)/M < 0.2 in its ideal form; the absolute values of the hydrogenation/deuteration enthalpy are ΔH(H) = 85 ± 5 kJ/mol and ΔH(D) = 84 ± 4 kJ/mol.

The demand for hydrogen is increasing due to commercialization of fuel cells. Palladium (Pd)-based crystalline membranes have been used for separation of hydrogen from a mixture of gases in coal-based power generation process. However, very high cost of Pd has prompted to explore inexpensive alternative alloys.

Two nanocrystalline ferromagnetic alloys of the Fe-Co-Nb-B system have been produced by mechanical alloying (MA). Their microstructure, thermal behavior and magnetic response were checked by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). After 80 h of MA, the alloys were nanostructured (bcc-Fe(Co)-rich phase).
