ABSTRACTIon implantation at room temperature of lead into aluminium leads to spontaneous phase separation and formation of lead precipitates growing topotactically with the matrix. Unlike the highly pressurised (∼ 1–5 GPa) solid inclusions formed after noble gas implantations, the pressure in the lead precipitates is found to be less than 0.12 GPa.Recently we have observed the intriguing result that the lead inclusions in aluminium exhibit both superheating and supercooling [1]. In this paper we review and elaborate on these results. Small implantation-induced lead precipitates embedded in an aluminium matrix were studied by X-ray diffraction. The (111) Bragg peak originating from the lead crystals was followed during several temperature cycles, from room temperature to 678 K. The melting temperature for bulk lead is 601 K. In the first heating cycle we found a superheating of the lead precipitates of 67 K before melting occurred. During subsequent cooling a supercooling of 21 K below the solidification point of bulk lead was observed. In the subsequent heating cycles this hysteresis at the melting transition was reproducible. The full width of the hysteresis loop slowly decreased to 62 K, while the mean size of the inclusions gradually increased from 14.5 nm to 27 nm. The phenomena of superheating and supercooling are thus most pronounced for the small crystallites. The persistence of the hysteresis loop over successive heating cycles demonstrate that its cause is intrinsic in nature, and it is believed that the superheating originates from the lack of free surfaces of the lead inclusions.

An experimental investigation into ratcheting strain and stress-strain hysteresis loop in stress-controlled cyclic tensile tests at room temperature was performed to determine the effect of loading frequency on the cyclic mechanical behavior of highdensity polyethylene (HDPE). It was found that frequencies ranging from 0.01 Hz up to 1 Hz mostly affects the accumulated strain over related time scales (i.e that of the cycle itself) and not over long time scale (i.e. during the full test). In addition, the higher the frequency is, the more closed and vertical the loops are. Furthermore, the frequency affects only on the kinetics of stabilization of ratcheting strain but not on one of hysteresis loop.

Tris(ligand)iron(II) complexes of 2-(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (3ppH) and 3-(thiazol-2-yl)pyrazole (3tpH) undergo temperature-induced singlet (1A1) ⇔ quintet (5T2) transitions. The transition in [Fe(3ppH)3] [CF3SO3]2.2H2O is continuous and centred above room temperature while that in the anhydrous triflate salt is discontinuous and is centred below room temperature. The latter transition occurs via a thermal hysteresis loop of width 12 K, Tc↓ and Tc↑ being 229 and 241 K, respectively. The displacement of the transition to lower temperature in the anhydrous salt is believed to be associated with the loss of hydrogen bonding involving the uncoordinated pyrazole >NH group and solvate water. In [Fe(3tpH)2(3tp)] [ClO4].2H2O and [Fe(3tpH)2(3tp)] [BF4].2H2O (3tp is the deprotonated ligand) continuous transitions are observed, centred below room temperature. In these instances the displacement is consistent with the intrinsically weaker field of the bidentate system containing two five-membered heterocycles. Structural data were obtained for [Fe(3ppH)3][CF3SO3]2.2H2O, [Fe(3tpH)3] [BF4]2.1·5H2O and [Ni(3tpH)3] [BF4]2.2(3tpH). The average metal–nitrogen distances in the complexes are 1·97, 2·18 and 2·09 Å, severally. The large difference in the distances for the two iron complexes arises from the different ground states: a singlet for the 3ppH complex and a quintet for the 3tpH complex. In all three salts there is extensive hydrogen bonding involving the pyrazole >NH groups, the anions and the solvate molecules.

Polycrystalline sample of lead-free 1/3( Ba 0.70 Sr 0.30 TiO 3) + 1/3( Ba 0.70 Ca 0.30 TiO 3) + 1/3( BaZr 0.20 Ti 0.80 O 3)( BST - BCT - BZT ) ceramic was synthesized by solid state reaction method. Phase purity and crystal structure of as-synthesized materials was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity studies demonstrated frequency-independent behavior, indicating that the studied sample has typical diffuse phase transition behavior with partial thermal hysteresis. A ferroelectric phase transition between cubic and tetragonal phase was noticed near room temperature (~ 330 K). Bulk P–E hysteresis loop showed a saturation polarization of 20.4 μC/cm2 and a coercive field of ~ 12.78 kV/cm at a maximum electric field of ~ 115 kV/cm. High dielectric constant (ε ~ 5773), low dielectric loss (tan δ ~ 0.03) were recorded at room temperature. Discharge energy density of 0.44 J/cm3 and charge energy density of 1.40 J/cm3 were calculated from nonlinear ferroelectric hysteresis loop at maximum electric field. Dielectric constant at variable temperatures and electric fields, ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition and energy storage properties were thoroughly discussed.

Materials with batch formula Pb (1-x-3y/2) R y Ba x Nb 2 O 6, where R=Y, (1-x)=0.73, 0.63, 0.53 and y=0.00, 0.02 have been prepared by the double sintering method. Substitution of yttrium (Y) restored tetragonal symmetry of PBN but reduced lattice parameters, cell volume and enhanced the density. Transition temperature of PBN has decreased due to the substitution of Y3+. Enhanced room temperature spontaneous polarization (Ps)=149.97 μ C/sq. cm has been observed in PBN53, which is above MPB, whereas enhanced value of Ps=112.74 μ C/sq. cm is found in Y: PBN63 at MPB region. The room temperature Pyroelectric coefficient (PRT=1.07) has been observed in the composition where maximum volume of Ps is obtained. Similarly, enhanced values of piezoelectric coefficients Kp=0.244, Kt=0.353, K31=0.131, d31=60, d33=159 and g31=3.65 have also been found in the same material PBN53. Substitution of Yttrium enhanced the stiffness constant 13.59 in PBN 73 to 14.27 of Y: PBN73.
