The kinetics of reaction between single crystals of sodium chloride and zirconium tetrachloride and hafnium tetrachloride vapors, to form sodium hexachlorozirconate and sodium hexachlorohafnate, respectively, have been investigated as a function of the tetrachloride pressures at a constant temperature of 485 °C. The rate of formation of Na2ZrCl6 is kinetically more favorable. The heterogeneous reaction is diffusion controlled, with the rate of diffusion depending on the availability of Cl− vacancies.

Shape Changes

ABSTRACTChannels with widths in the range from 5 μm to 25 μm were formed in {100} surfaces of LiF single crystals by a photolithographic technique. Specimens annealed at or above 0.90 Tm, where Tm is the melting point, and then quenched showed die channels and the ridges between them develop rounded profiles. Evolution of these profiles was evaluated for the various channel widths and for interchannel ridge spacings of 5 to 100 μm in terms of: a) an accepted theoretical model for a surface diffusion controlled process, and b) a model which assumes that shape changes depend only on the relative energies of attachment of atoms in surface sites with various surface curvatures. Either model is consistent with the experimental observations to within the reproducibility in measurements.

Electron microscope studies of deformed single crystals of Cu and Cu + Zn alloys of various compositions containing small alumina particles show that the dislocation structures generated and associated with the particles consist generally of prismatic loops, Orowan loops as well as prismatic loops in some brass alloys, and groups of dipoles. The formation of predominantly interstitial prismatic loops is explained in terms of a cross-slip mechanism controlled by the interstitial misfit strains around the particles. The transition from prismatic loop to prismatic plus Orowan loop structures in the brass alloys for Zn contents greater than ca . 20 wt % is considered to be due to the dependence of the activation energy for cross-slip on the stacking fault energy and to the solution hardening friction stress. In the Cu + 20% Zn alloys, measurements of the height of the loops and their numbers show that some dislocations by-pass the particles without forming loops. The mechanism of cross-slip leading to the formation of prismatic loops or ‘by-passing’ is discussed in some detail. The number of prismatic loops generated decreases with temperature. This fact is explained in terms of pipe or interface diffusion controlled climb of dislocations at the particles.

Diffraction Diagram

A new type of synthetic industrial diamond formed by an explosive shock process has been recently developed by the Du Pont Company. This material consists of a mixture of two basically different forms, as shown in Figure 1: relatively flat and compact aggregates of acicular crystallites, and single crystals in the form of irregular polyhedra with straight edges.Figure 2 is a high magnification micrograph typical for the fibrous aggregates; it shows that they are composed of bundles of crystallites 0.05-0.3 μ long and 0.02 μ. wide. The selected area diffraction diagram (insert in Figure 2) consists of a weak polycrystalline ring pattern and a strong texture pattern with arc reflections. The latter results from crystals having preferred orientation, which shows that in a given particle most fibrils have a similar orientation.

Different Types

In polyethylene single crystals pairs of black and white lines spaced 700-3,000Å apart, parallel to the [100] and [010] directions, have been identified as microsector boundaries. A microsector is formed when the plane of chain folding changes over a small distance within a polymer crystal. In order for the different types of folds to accommodate at the boundary between the 2 fold domains, a staggering along the chain direction and a rotation of the chains in the plane of the boundary occurs. The black-white contrast from a microsector boundary can be explained in terms of these chain rotations. We demonstrate that microsectors can terminate within the crystal and interpret the observed terminal strain contrast in terms of a screw dislocation dipole model.

It is well known that ion-induced sputtering from numerous multicomponent targets results in marked changes in surface composition (1). Preferential removal of one component results in surface enrichment in the less easily removed species. In this investigation, a time-of-flight atom-probe field-ion microscope A.P. together with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS have been used to monitor alterations in surface composition of Ni3Al single crystals under argon ion bombardment. The A.P. has been chosen for this investigation because of its ability using field evaporation to depth profile through a sputtered surface without the need for further ion sputtering. Incident ion energy and ion dose have been selected to reflect conditions widely used in surface analytical techniques for cleaning and depth-profiling of samples, typically 3keV and 1018 - 1020 ion m-2.
