We have investigated the nature of the transition at about 40 °C in manganese arsenide. It is already well known that the transition involves a discontinuous change of the length of the a axis of the hexagonal unit cell, and that there is no change of crystal structure. The transition is accompanied by a loss of ferromagnetism of MnAs on proceeding to higher temperature. We find that the transformation takes place by a novel diffusionless non-martensitic mechanism. It appears that plastic deformation of MnAs is impossible and so, instead of the change following the martensitic pattern, the strain energy of the transformation is minimized by a fragmentation of the crystal grains into pencil-like subgrains whose direction lies parallel to the c axis of the crystals.

A new Nasicon phosphates series [Na3+xCr2−xCox(PO4)3(0⩽x⩽1)] was synthesized by a coprecipitation method and structurally characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The selected compound Na3.5Cr1.5Co0.5(PO4)3 (x=0.5) crystallizes in the R3c space group with the following hexagonal unit-cell dimensions: ah=8.7285(3) Å, ch=21.580(2) Å, V=1423.8(1) Å3, and Z=6. This three-dimensional framework is built of PO4 tetrahedra and Cr∕CoO6 octahedra sharing corners. Na atoms occupy totally M(1) sites and partially M(2) sites.

A polycrystalline specimen of nominal formula EuGaAl with unknown crystal structure was investigated by various electron microscope techniques; EDS-, SED-, and CBED data were taken on a Philips 400 electron microscope operated at 100kV, HREM data on a Hitachi 9000 microscope operated at 300kV. The EDS data confirmed the composition for the bulk of the material but, in addition, revealed particles with other fractions of the elements. Only the EuGaAl particles were further investigated. The unit cell was determined to be orthorhombic with a ratio: a/b=0.969(2) , a/c=0.234(2) and b/c=0.234(2). The lattice constants are a=4.54(5)Ȧ, b=4.68Ȧ and c=19.97(20)Ȧ. Based on systematic extinctions for hkl reflections with h+l=2n+l, the unit cell was found to be b-centered. CBED patterns of the [001], [100], and [010] zone axes are shown in Fig. 1. The zone axis patterns are in agreement with the above stated data except for diffused (2m+l,2n+l,0)- reflections, not compatible with the above stated systematic absences. But these occurred only occasionally in conjunction with a complicated noncommensurate superlattice pattern.

This study investigates the crystal chemistry of monazite (APO4, where A = Lanthanides = Ln, as well as Y, Th, U, Ca, and Pb) based on four samples from different localities using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron-probe microanalysis. The crystal structure of all four samples are well refined, as indicated by their refinement statistics. Relatively large unit-cell parameters (a = 6.7640(5), b = 6.9850(4), c = 6.4500(3) Å, β = 103.584(2)°, and V = 296.22(3) Å3) are obtained for a detrital monazite-Ce from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Sm-rich monazite from Gunnison County, Colorado, USA, has smaller unit-cell parameters (a = 6.7010(4), b = 6.9080(4), c = 6.4300(4) Å, β = 103.817(3)°, and V = 289.04(3) Å3). The a, b, and c unit-cell parameters vary linearly with the unit-cell volume, V. The change in the a parameter is large (0.2 Å) and is related to the type of cations occupying the A site. The average <A-O> distances vary linearly with V, whereas the average <P-O> distances are nearly constant because the PO4 group is a rigid tetrahedron.

AbstractTwo crystals of the uranyl carbonate mineral grimselite, ideally K3Na[(UO2)(CO3)3](H2O), from Jáchymov in the Czech Republic were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron-probe microanalysis. One crystal has considerably more Na than the ideal chemical composition due to substitution of Na into KO8 polyhedra; the composition of the other crystal is nearer to ideal, and similar to synthetic grimselite. The presence of Na atoms in KO8 polyhedra, which are located in channels in the crystal structure, reduces their volume, and as a result the unit-cell volume also decreases. Structure refinement shows that the formula for the sample with the anomalously high Na content is (K2.43Na0.57)Σ3.00Na[(UO2)(CO3)3](H2O). The unit-cell parameters, refined in space group P2c, are a = 9.2507(1), c = 8.1788(1) Å, V = 606.14(3) Å3 and Z = 2. The crystal structure was refined to R1 = 0.0082 and wR1 = 0.0185 with a GOF = 1.33, based on 626 observed diffraction peaks [Iobs>3σ(I)].

AbstractThe two line 35Cl NQR spectrum of 4,5-dichloroimidazole was measured in the temperature range 77≦ T/K ≦ 389. The temperature dependence of the NQR frequencies conforms with the Bayer model and no phase transition is indicated in the curves v ( 35Cl)= f(T). Also the temperature coefficients of the 35Cl NQR frequencies are "normal". At 77 K the 35Cl NQR frequencies are 37.409 MHz and 36.172 MHz and at 389 K 35.758 MHz and 34.565 MHz. The compound crystallizes at room temperature with the tetragonal space group D44-P41212, Z = 8 molecules per unit cell; at 295 K : a = 684.2(5) pm, c = 2414.0(20) pm. The relations between the crystal structure and the NQR spectrum are discussed.

With rapid developments and advances in additive manufacturing technology, lattice structures have gained considerable attention. Lattice structures are capable of providing parts with a high strength to weight ratio. Most work done to reduce computational complexity is concerned with determining the optimal size of each strut within the lattice unit-cells but not with the size of the unit-cell itself. The objective of this paper is to develop a method to determine the optimal unit-cell size for homogenous periodic and conformal lattice structures based on the strain energy of a given structure. The method utilizes solid body finite element analysis (FEA) of a solid counter-part with a similar shape as the desired lattice structure. The displacement vector of the lattice structure is then matched to the solid body FEA displacement results to predict the structure’s strain energy. This process significantly reduces the computational costs of determining the optimal size of the unit cell since it eliminates FEA on the actual lattice structure. Furthermore, the method can provide the measurement of relative performances from different types of unit-cells. The developed examples clearly demonstrate how we can determine the optimal size of the unit-cell based on the strain energy. Moreover, the computational cost efficacy is also clearly demonstrated through comparison with the FEA and the proposed method.

AbstractThe crystal structure of [4-C2H5-C6H4NH3]2ZnBr4 (1) has been determined at 150(2) K: triclinic, P1̅, a=724.82(2), b=1194.20(4), c=1322.26(4) pm, α=74.151(3), β=80.887(3), γ=80.434(3)°, and Z=2. There are two crystallographically independent cations in the unit cell of 1: one has its benzene ring perpendicular to the crystallographic a axis of the unit cell and the other one has its benzene ring perpendicular to the c axis. These cations are alternatingly located along the c axis and form organic layers, and the ZnBr4 anions form inorganic layers in between. Zn–Br···H–N hydrogen bonds are formed between cations and anions. In accordance with the crystal structure, four nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) lines of 81Br were observed. The temperature dependence of the 81Br NQR frequencies between 77 and 320 K shows a peculiar feature which is not due to a structural phase transition. The measurement of 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at around T=340 K indicates a redistribution of cations. The temperature dependence of 81Br NQR frequencies and differential thermal analysis measurements show that [4-C2H5-C6H4NH3]2CdBr4 (2) undergoes a structural phase transition at around 190 K.
