Temperature variation powder XRD measurements reveal that SmNbO4 undergoes a phase transition around 800 °C. SmNbO4 possesses a monoclinic fergusonite structure at ambient temperature and a tetragonal scheelite structure above the transition temperature. We report the stabilization of this high temperature phase at room temperature.

Single-phase ultrafine nanocrystalline Sm2Co17, a candidate material for permanent magnets, was prepared by a novel simple route based on a home-built `oxygen-free'in situfabrication system. The as-prepared nanocrystalline Sm2Co17has the stable hexagonal Th2Ni17-type (2:17 H) crystal structure at room temperature, which is distinctly different from the conventional polycrystalline Sm2Co17having the rhombohedral Th2Zn17-type (2:17 R) crystal structure at room temperature. Phase transformations in the nanocrystalline Sm2Co17alloy were investigated systematically by a series of annealing experiments. It was found that, along with the nanograin growth in the heat-treatment process, the crystal structure of the room-temperature phase transforms from 2:17 H to 2:17 R. The magnetization behavior of Sm2Co17alloys in different structural states was characterized. The relationship between the magnetic performance and the structure characteristics was analyzed. Understanding the phase transformation of Sm2Co17nanocrystals facilitates the development of nanocrystalline Sm2Co17-type magnets for high-temperature applications.

Most of the studies on phase transformation in metallic materials have focused on transformations during cooling processes due to the easiness of the conservation of the product phase. However, for phase transformation happening during heating processes, the experimental investigations have been indirect if the product high temperature phase could not be preserved to the convenient observation temperature, for example the room temperature. The high density Electric Current Pulse (ECP) treatment allows the phase transformation during heating process and the preservation of the high temperature phase to the room temperature, offering possibilities for direct experimental examinations. Thus, in the present work, a cold-rolled Cu–40%Zn alloy was ECP treated and the microstructure of the product phase and the transformation orientation relationship were investigated. Results show that during the ECP treatment, the high temperature beta phase with BCC structure formed in the parent alpha phase with FCC structure. Especially, two kinds of orientation relationships could be detected between the parent alpha phase and the product beta precipitates. The one is the Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship (K-S OR), and the other is the Nishiyama-Wasserman (N-W). In addition, the amount of beta precipitates obeying the K-S OR is more than that of precipitates obeying the N-W OR. The results of this work provide new fundamental information on phase transformation of metallic materials.

The internal friction of a cold-rolled Fe-Mn-Si alloy has been investigated using a multifunctional internal friction apparatus though forced vibration method from room temperature to 950 °C. It has been shown that an internal friction peak is found on the IF-T curves during first heating at around 640 °C for the cold-rolled Fe-Mn-Si alloy. The internal friction peak is confirmed to be crystallizing peak of amorphous. The amorphous is resulted from the cold-rolling of the Fe-Mn-Si alloy.

BaZnGeO4 undergoes many phase transitions from I to V phase. The highest temperature phase I has a BaAl2O4 type structure with a hexagonal lattice. Recent X-ray diffraction study showed that the incommensurate (IC) lattice modulation appears along the c axis in the III and IV phases with a period of about 4c, and a commensurate (C) phase with a modulated period of 4c exists between the III and IV phases in the narrow temperature region (—58°C to —47°C on cooling), called the III' phase. The modulations in the IC phases are considered displacive type, but the detailed structures have not been studied. It is also not clear whether the modulation changes into periodic arrays of discommensurations (DC’s) near the III-III' and IV-V phase transition temperature as found in the ferroelectric materials such as Rb2ZnCl4.At room temperature (III phase) satellite reflections were seen around the fundamental reflections in a diffraction pattern (Fig.1) and they aligned along a certain direction deviated from the c* direction, which indicates that the modulation wave vector q tilts from the c* axis. The tilt angle is about 2 degree at room temperature and depends on temperature.

The main objective of this research was to investigate the influence of curing temperature on the phase transformation, mechanical properties, and microstructure of the as-cured and sintered kaolin-ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) geopolymer. The curing temperature was varied, giving four different conditions; namely: Room temperature, 40, 60, and 80 °C. The kaolin-GGBS geopolymer was prepared, with a mixture of NaOH (8 M) and sodium silicate. The samples were cured for 14 days and sintered afterwards using the same sintering profile for all of the samples. The sintered kaolin-GGBS geopolymer that underwent the curing process at the temperature of 60 °C featured the highest strength value: 8.90 MPa, and a densified microstructure, compared with the other samples. The contribution of the Na2O in the geopolymerization process was as a self-fluxing agent for the production of the geopolymer ceramic at low temperatures.

The literature data and the results obtained by the authors on the study of the structure and properties of a series of polycrystalline and single-crystal samples of pure and Mg-doped oxymolybdates Ln2MoO6 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd) are analyzed. Presumably, the high-temperature phase I41/acd of Nd2MoO6 single crystals is retained at room temperature. The reason for the loss of the center of symmetry in the structures of La2MoO6 and Pr2MoO6 and the transition to the space group I4¯c2 is the displacement of oxygen atoms along the twofold diagonal axes. In all structures, Mg cations are localized near the positions of the Mo atoms, and the splitting of the positions of the atoms of rare-earth elements is found. Thermogravimetric studies, as well as infrared spectroscopy data for hydrated samples of Ln2MoO6 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd), pure and with an impurity of Mg, confirm their hygroscopic properties.
