A low-cost cell has been designed and built for synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction studies of materials with low melting points. The cell has been operated between 253 and 323 K with a temperature stability of better than 0.1 K. The construction of the cell allows free rotation of the sample during a scan in order to maximize the number of powder grains in the reflecting position. The cell has been used to study a transition from an ordered to a rotator phase in hexadecane occurring at 278 K and the results from that study are reported.

ABSTRACTNormal alkanes of carbon number n>14 exhibit surface crystallization at their liquid-vapor interface. This has been investigated with x-ray reflectivity, grazing incidence scattering and surface tension measurements. The structure and thermodynamics of the surface layer is consistent with a monolayer of the bulk rotator phase occurring at the surface above the bulk melting temperature. On the other hand, thin films of alkanes on SiO2, exhibit a reduction of the melting temperature. The surface crystalline phase is observed for carbon number n>14. The vanishing of surface phase for small n may be due to a transition from surface freezing to surface melting behavior. These measurements can yield the relative surface energies of the various phases.

AbstractWe present results of an x-ray scattering study on the rotator phases of normal alkanes: CH2-(CH3)n-CH2 (20 ≤ ≤ 33). We have characterized a new tilted rotator phase and measured the distortion and tilt order parameters in all 5 rotator phases. We have shown that there is no strong even-odd chain effect within the rotator phases.

AbstractUsing a new ID hybrid model of the electron bombardment in flare loops, we study not only the evolution of densities, plasma velocities and temperatures in the loop, but also the temporal and spatial evolution of hard X-ray emission. In the present paper a continuous bombardment by electrons isotropically accelerated at the top of flare loop with a power-law injection distribution function is considered. The computations include the effects of the return-current that reduces significantly the depth of the chromospheric layer which is evaporated. The present modelling is made with superthermal electron parameters corresponding to the classical resistivity regime for an input energy flux of superthermal electrons of 109erg cm−2s−1. It was found that due to the electron bombardment the two chromospheric evaporation waves are generated at both feet of the loop and they propagate up to the top, where they collide and cause temporary density and hard X-ray enhancements.
