Oxide mixtures which feature a coexistence of phases with the wüstite and spinel structures are considered model systems for the study of solid-state reaction kinetics, phase boundaries, and thin-film growth, and such systems are especially suited to TEM studies. (In this paper, the terms “wüstite” and “spinel” will refer to phases of those structure types.) The study of wüstite-spinel coexistence has been limited mostly to systems near their equilibrium condition, where the assumptions of local thermodynamic equilibrium are valid. The cation-excess spinels of the type Ni2(1+x)Ti1-xO4, which reportedly exist only above 1375°C4, provide an excellent system for the study of wüstite-spinel coexistence under highly nonequilibrium conditions. The nature of these compounds has been debated in the literature. X-ray and neutron powder diffraction patterns have been used to advocate the existence of a single-phase, non- stoichiometric spinel. TEM studies of the microstructure have been used to suggest equilibrium coexistence of a stoichiometric spinel, Ni2TiO4, and a wüstite phase; this latter study has shown a coexistence of wüstite and spinel phases in specimens thought to have been composed of a single, non- stoichiometric spinel phase. The microstructure and nature of this phase coexistence is the focus of this study. Specimens were prepared by ball-milling a mixture of NiO and TiO2 powders with 10 wt.% TiO2. The mixture was fired in air at 1483°C for 5 days, and then quenched to room temperature. The aggregate thus produced was highly porous, and needed to be infiltrated prior to TEM sample preparation, which was performed using the standard techniques of lapping, dimpling, and ion milling.

Powder diffraction data for semiconductor and metallic states of vanadium dioxide are presented. The structures are refined by Rietveld methods using a monoclinic cell (a = 5.7529Å, b = 4.5263Å, c = 5.3825Å, β = 122.61°) and space group P21/c for the room temperature data, and a tetragonal cell (a =4.5540Å, c = 2.8557Å) and space group P42/mnm for data collected at 400 K. The similarity between the corresponding X-ray diffraction patterns is discussed. The transition process from the monoclinic to tetragonal phase is investigated and initial evidence for the coexistence of phases over a small temperature range is presented.

In this paper, the thermodynamics of Reissner–Nordström-anti de Sitter black hole surrounded by quintessence is studied and the impact of the Gauss–Bonnet term is measured. The modified entropy, first law of thermodynamics and corresponding Smarr relation are derived due to the combined action of the Gauss–Bonnet term and quintessence fluid. We study the so-called black hole chemistry from the analysis of the corresponding equation-of-state, conjugate potential and the critical points in the extended phase space. To study the phase transitions, we plotted [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] diagrams and analyzed the conditions for the coexistence of phases.
