The mixed ionic crystals are formed by the mixing of pure components and are truly crystalline and their lattice constants change linearly with concentration from one pure member to another. The present work is intended to investigate structural properties of CaS1-xSexunder high pressure. The structural properties of mixed compound CaS1-xSex(0≤x≤1) under high pressures have been evaluated using three body potential model (TBPM). This interaction potential has been calculated by using three model parameters. For this mixed compound, the experimental data has been generated by the application of Vegard’s law to experimental values available for pure end-point members.The Structure of CaS and CaSe has been Rock Salt (B1) at ambient pressure and with increasing pressure Rock Salt (B1) structure undergo a transition in Cesium Chloride (B2) at 40GPa and 38 GPa respectively and CaS1-xSexunder goes Rock Salt to Cesium Chloride (B1→B2) structure. The difference in phase transition pressure in end-point members is low. In the present work we have investigated structural properties at high pressure for five different concentration x (x=0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1) for CaS1-xSex. Phase transition pressure and relative volume collapse at different phase transition pressure for different values of x has been calculated. Predicted phase transition pressure and relative volume collapse are found in good agreement with experimental and other theoretical data. Linear variation of phase transition pressure and lattice constant of different composition show that Vegard’s law is valid for this alloy. We have evaluated the phase transition pressure from graphical analysis where the Gibb’s free energy difference ΔG [G(B1)-G(B2)] have been plotted against pressure (P) for CaS1-xSexfor different concentration x. The pressure at which ΔG approaches zero corresponds to phase –transition pressure (Pt). The relative volume changes, ΔV(Pt)/V(0), associated with the above mentioned compression have also been computed and plotted against pressure to get the phase diagram for CaS1-xSexin different concentration.

The shell model of Dick and Overhauser as developed by Cochran and Woods el al. has been applied to study theoretically the lattice dynamics of a cesium chloride crystal. The polarizabilities of both negative and positive ions have been taken into account in this treatment. The charges on the shells of the two ions come out to be of different magnitude. It is seen that the theoretical specific-heat variation with temperature based on this model is in fair agreement with experimental results in the range for which they have been obtained. The theoretical dispersion curves in the three symmetry directions are also given.

ABSTRACTWe compare the potential energy at zero temperature of a range of crystal structures for a glass-forming binary mixture of Lennard-Jones particles. The lowest energy ordered state consists of coexisting phases of a single component face centered cubic structure and an equimolar cesium chloride structure. An infinite number of layered crystal structures are identified with energies close to this groundstate. We demonstrate that the finite size increase of the energy of the coexisting crystal with incoherent interfaces is sufficient to destabilize this ordered phase in simulations of typical size. Specific local coordination structures are identified as of possible structural significance in the amorphous state. We observe rapid crystal growth in mixtures near the equimolar composition.

Selected area electron diffraction (SAD) has been used successfully to determine crystal structures, identify traces of minerals in rocks, and characterize the phases formed during thermal treatment of micron-sized particles. There is an increased interest in the method because it has the potential capability of identifying micron-sized pollutants in air and water samples. This paper is a short review of the theory behind SAD and a discussion of the sample preparation employed for the analysis of multiple component environmental samples.
