A furnace covering the temperature range from 25 to 1000°C has been designed and constructed to studyin situsolid-state reactions and melting and crystallization processes, with X-ray diffraction in transmission geometry using a two-dimensional-detector system. The oven can work in low vacuum and under a controlled atmosphere.

ABSTRACTWe present results of a study motivated by the recent suggestion that the properties of nanocrystalline materials with a large surface-to-volume ratio can be tuned by inducing spacecharge regions at interfaces by means of an applied voltage. As an example, we investigate the reversible variation of the lattice constant of platinum nanoparticles immersed in an aqueous 1M KOH electrolyte as a function of applied potential. It is found that a reversible volumetric strain of up to 1.2 % can be induced, corresponding to pressures of up to 3.2 GPa. We present the experimental set-ups for in-situ X-ray diffraction with an electrochemical cell. The variation of the space charge at the metal-electrolyte interface results in a variation of the surface stress f as a function of the applied potential, which is not an electrocapillary effect.

AbstractUnderstanding the mechanical behaviour of nano-structured thin films in relation to their structure, in particular to the grain size, is of high importance for the development of technological applications. Model nanometric multilayer W/Au systems exhibiting different structures are elaborated. These films are supported by a (thin) polyimide substrate. Films mechanical response is characterized experimentally by tensile tests carried out in-situ in a X-ray diffractometer installed on a synchrotron source. X-ray diffraction in transmission geometry has been used to study the deformations of both phases as a function of applied load. This geometry has been developed in the aim of optimizing the experiment time.

We describe powder X-ray diffraction experiments on lithium intercalation compounds. Using a unique electrochemical cell which incorporates a beryllium X-ray window we are able to monitor changes in the host lattice which occur when the lithium concentration is altered electrochemically. The detailed design of the cells and experimental problems which arise when using the in situ X-ray diffraction technique are discussed. Results of experiments on LixTiS2 are reported for 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.

ABSTRACTTwo novel complementary and non-destructive techniques for texture analysis of YBCO coated conductors are presented. Micro-Raman (μ-Raman) spectroscopy enables an easy analysis of the film homogeneity by determining the distribution of a- and c-oriented grains within the tape with a 1 μm spatial resolution and acquisition times of 5 min/spot. In addition, synchrotron x-ray diffraction analysis in transmission geometry and 2D detectors enables, with acquisition times of 100 ms, simultaneous observation of a- and c- crystallites and in-plane textures of substrates, buffers and superconducting layer. Thus, opening the field of this technique to in-situ analysis of epitaxial growth of coated conductors prepared by ex-situ processes. Results from these two techniques for stainless steel tapes buffered with IBAD-YSZ and coated with PLD-YBCO are analyzed.
