ABSTRACTThe photoluminescence (PL), its temperature dependence and X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been studied in MBE grown GaAs/AlGaAs/InGaAs/AlGaAs /GaAs quantum wells (QWs) with InAs quantum dots embedded in the center of InGaAs layer in the freshly prepared states and after the thermal treatments during 2 hours at 640 or 710 °C. The structures contained two buffer (Al0.3Ga0.7As/In0.15Ga0.85As) and two capping (In0.15Ga0.85As / Al0.3Ga0.7As) layers. The temperature dependences of PL peak positions have been analyzed in the temperature range 10-500K with the aim to investigate the QD composition and its variation at thermal annealing. The experimental parameters of the temperature variation of PL peak position in the InAs QDs have been compared with the known one for the bulk InAs crystals and the QD composition variation due to Ga/Al/In inter diffusion at thermal treatments has been detected. XRD have been studied with the aim to estimate the capping/buffer layer compositions in the different QW layers in freshly prepared state and after the thermal annealing. The obtained emission and XRD data and their dependences on the thermal treatment have been analyzed and discussed.

La2NiO4+σ nanofibers exhibiting typical Ruddlesden–Popper structure (K2NiO4) were fabricated by a facile electrospinning method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze the structure, morphology and crystal process of the La2NiO4+σ nanofibers. For electrical properties measurement, uniaxially aligned nanofibers were directly collected and assembled into electrode. In our research, La2NiO4+σ phase forms above 873K with no impurity phase emerges during the thermal treatments. The nanofibers are smooth and uniform throughout the entire length and the grain is growing as calcination temperature increases. Furthmore, the La2NiO4+σ nanofibers own high mixed conductivity at 773K, laying good foundation for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells application.

The objective of this work is to understand the influence of time on thermal oxidation of CP-Ti Grade II at 850 oC. Thermal treatments were performed for 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 120 minutes of isothermal stage. The response of titanium to oxidation at same temperatures and various timings has been investigated, in terms of layer thickness, phase evolution. A variety of experimental and analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ball cratering test have been used to characterize the result of thermal oxidized surfaces. The results showed that oxygen diffused on Ti structure can produce a thick oxide layer with rutile (TiO2) between 3,50 and 10,34 microns, which exhibited good adhesion with the substrate.

ABSTRACTThe temperature induced structural transformations in physical mixtures of 1nm palladium and ultrafine (∼0.5nm) copper nanoparticles supported on carbon were studied using in-situ real time synchrotron based x-ray diffraction. These nanoparticles were subjected to two-step thermal annealing from 25°C to 700°C. The Pd and Cu nanoparticles were found to coalesce forming alloy nanoparticles that subsequently undergo a structural phase transformation from ordered B2 to disordered fcc. The random alloy formed at the end of the thermal treatments was found to be copper-rich.

The influence of two thermal treatments on the structure, morphology, and ultimate properties exhibited by isotactic polypropylene (iPP), synthesized by conventional Ziegler–Natta iPP (Z-iPP) or metallocene iPP (m-iPP) catalysts, has been investigated in the present work. Novelty of this research consisted in the incorporation of a β nucleating agent in two different contents to the m-iPP. Results attained are compared with those found in the Z-iPP and important differences are observed. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction experiments revealed that coexistence of different crystalline lattices took place depending on the type of iPP: β and α forms were found in the β nucleated Z-iPP specimens, whereas α, β, and γ polymorphs could be developed in the m-iPP with nucleating agent. On the other hand, the iPP glass transition temperature ( Tg) did not exhibit a significant change because of the addition of β nucleant, as deduced from Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) analysis. Moreover, the size and shape of the iPP spherulites was totally changed by the presence of the β agent. This nucleant promoted the formation of smaller spherulites in a greater amount, as demonstrated by optical microscopy. Concerning the mechanical parameters, microhardness, MH, and Young modulus, E, values were in the fast crystallized samples lower than those presented by their slowly cooled counterparts. A good balance in properties was seen for the slowly crystallized m-iPP that incorporated a 5 wt% content in β nucleating agent, this fact being ascribed to the coexistence of the three α, β, and γ polymorphs.

AbstractHydration/dehydration behaviour and the effect of various thermal treatments on montmorillonites saturated with lanthanide ions have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis (DTA, TG, DTG), IR spectroscopy and sorption-desorption of water vapour techniques. Heating at 150°C under 10−5 torr did not eliminate all the interlayer water of the montmorillonite, neither did it affect the CEC. Heating above 160°C caused a reduction in CEC. At 25°C La-montmorillonite takes up a maximum of three water layers in the interlayer space, the water molecules adopting a nonacoordinated distribution around the La3+ cation.

In-situ, high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an extremely useful tool for studying, monitoring or investigating crystal structure modifications as well as phase transformations in crystalline material during thermal treatments in controlled atmospheres. This technique has been used to investigate the thermal behavior of materials such as carbonate minerals, ceramic fibers, coating pigments, etc. The advantages of such a technique over the conventional practice, where samples are heat treated in a separate oven and then analyzed by XRD include: consistency of sample placement; preservation of high temperature structures to facilitate observation of metastable phases that are unstable upon exposure to outside atmosphere or during cooling; real time monitoring of reactions that occur, and products that are formed at a desired temperature or environment; and need for multiple samples or analysis.

In the framework of the coated tape superconductors, the electrolytic deposition is one of the chemical routes to obtain highly textured films either of the precursors or of the fully superconducting oxides. The technology will be reviewed with particular emphasis on the growth of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ (Bi-2212) film on Ag tape. For this system, recent advancements have been achieved combining the electrolytic deposition with intermediate thermal treatments and with an adequate optimisation of the initial stoichiometry of the deposited elements. A careful control of the morphology and amount of the not superconducting alkaline earth cuprates phases, grown in the film, allows to reach high critical current density, up to 40.000 A cm -2, in self-field at 77 K. A qualitative analysis by optical and electron microscopy, as well as a more quantitative analysis by x-ray diffraction reveals that the alignment of the Bi-2212 lamellas with the substrate as well as the decrease of the amount of the cuprates correlate with the superconducting transport properties.

We have synthesized large chlorapatite [ClAp, Ca5(PO4)3Cl x (OH)1 − x , where x = 1] single crystals using the molten salt method. We have corroborated that the hexagonal symmetry P63/m describes the crystal structure best, even though the crystals are synthetic and stoichiometric. Moreover, we have performed several thermal treatments on these ClAp crystals, generating new single crystals in the apatite system [Ca5(PO4)3Cl x (OH)1 − x , where x ≤ 1], where the chloride anions (Cl−) were systematically substituted by hydroxyl anions (OH−). These new single crystals were methodically characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform–IR spectroscopy (FT–IR), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). We have discovered a previously unreported OH− inclusion site substituting the Cl− anion during the ion-exchanging process. Finally, we evaluated the atomic rearrangements of the other species involved in the structure. These movements are associated with ionic exchange, which can be justified from an energetic point of view. We also found a novel phase transformation at high temperature. When the crystals are heated over 1753 K the apatite system evolves to a less ordered monoclinic structure, in which the complete loss of the species in the anionic channel (Cl−, OH−) has been confirmed.
