This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief and Asian Editor. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).Reason: This article duplicates significant parts of a paper by the same authors that had already appeared in J. Mater. Sci., 42 (2007) 10098–10102, doi:10.1007/s10853-007-2092-x. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the paper is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
