The liquidus surface of this ternary alloy has been determined, together with the nature of the solid phase separating from various melts. The densities and molar volumes of the binary system: Cd—Hg have been determined and it is shown that there is marked contraction when the α and β phases form from the components. X-ray powder photographs of various Cd—Hg alloys at room temperature have been made and the limits of homogeneity determined.

Ball milling has been used as a solid-state mechanical alloying technique in two binary systems of plastic crystals: neopentylglycol/pentaglycerin (NPG/PG), showing a partial solubility in the ordered phase, and 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol/tris(hydroxymethyl) (AMP/TRIS) whose immiscibility in this ordered solid phase is almost total. For the AMP/TRIS system the stable state at room temperature was reached by milling. Contrarily, for NPG/PG, DSC measurements reveal that an annealing period is required after milling. These results have been compared with those of the pentaglycerin/pentaerythritol (PG/PE) binary system, previously studied, whose miscibility is total at room temperature.

An orientationally disordered crystalline (ODIC) plastic phase (γ) was observed in Trimethylolpropane (TRMP) during heating by high resolution thermal and X-ray diffraction analyses. TRMP is a potential thermal energy storage material. The enthalpies of solid-solid (α → γ at 327.8 K) and fusion (γ → liquid at 332.7 K) transitions are 16.36 kJ/mol and 0.9 kJ/mol, respectively. Supercooling was observed during solidification of melts, and this supercooled γ phase began to transform to a metastable crystalline phase, designated as α′, after 20 minutes at room temperature. The lattice parameters of the monoclinic α phase, obtained from this study, are:

AbstractPolycrystalline samples of SrFe_2/3W_1/3O_3 (SFWO) ceramic were obtained by solid-phase reactions with subsequent sintering using conventional ceramic technology. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that at room temperature, the SFWO ceramic is single-phase and has a perovskite-type structure with tetragonal symmetry and parameters a = 3.941(9) Å, c = 3.955(6) Å, and c/a = 1.0035. In studying the magnetic properties and the Mössbauer effect in SFWO ceramics, it is found that the material is a ferrimagnet, and the iron ions are only in the valence state of Fe^3+. It is suggested that in the temperature range of T = 150–210°C, a smeared phase transition from a cubic (paraelectric) phase to a tetragonal (ferroelectric) phase takes place in SFWO with decreasing temperature.

Aurivillius phase ferroelectrics Ba(Bi1−xLax)4Ti4O15(x=0-0.05) (BBiLxT) was synthesized by a modified high-temperature solid-phase route.The structure, the dielectric, the ferroelectric and the aging properties were investigated systematically. With the La3+doping, the room temperature relative permittivity of the samples is increased, and dielectric loss is decreased. For the BBiLxT phase, only a weak variation with respect to the F2mm space group can be suggested from single crystal X-ray diffraction. The microstructure confirms the samples have a well-proportioned grain size and a higher density. The substitution also results in a marked improvement in the remnant polarization. The doping of La3+in BBiLxT ceramics increased the room temperature relative permittivity aging properties.

2,2':6',2''-Terpyridine (1) is a well-known electron donor module in metal coordination chemistry and typically works as a tridentate ligand. Here it is shown that 1 can also work as electron donor towards iodoperfluorocarbons both in solution and in the solid phase. Halogen-bonded supramolecular systems are thus obtained. Specifically, terpyridine 1 self-assembles with 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene (2) and affords the trimeric adduct 3, which is stable and crystalline in the air at room temperature. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows how in adduct 3 both iodine atoms of one molecule of 2 are halogen-bonded to the nitrogen atoms of external pyridine rings of two molecules of 1 that act as monodentate electron donors.

AbstractThermoanalytic DSC and temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction investigations on the cesium dodecahalogeno-closo-dodecaborates Cs2[B12X12] (X = Cl–I) have revealed solid-solid phase transitions from their trigonal room-temperature α-forms (e.g. α-Cs2[B12Cl12]: a = 959.67(3) pm, c = 4564.2(2) pm, Z = 6, space group R$\overline{3}$) into cubic high-temperature modifications. The isotypic title compounds crystallize in the space group Pm$\overline{3}$n (e.g. β-Cs2[B12Cl12]: a = 1051.98(6) pm, Z = 2) with a W3O-type defect structure. The statistic occupation of six possible positions with only four Cs+ cations results in a cation-deficient A2B arrangement for Cs2[B12X12]. Upon cooling the β-phase, a third polymorph was observed, which also crystallizes in the cubic system, but now in the space group Ia$\overline{3}$d (e.g. γ-Cs2[B12Cl12]: a = 2102.2(3) pm, Z = 16), and has to be regarded as a phase with only a partially disordered cation substructure. In this crystal structure the [B12X12]2− anions exhibit a NaTl-type arrangement, in which the Cs+ cations occupy suitable interstices. The phase transitions of the differently halogenated cesium salts follow no specific trend as the transition from the trigonal α- to the cubic β-form occurs at 178 °C for the chlorinated, at 270 °C for the iodinated and at 325 °C for the brominated examples. On further heating however, β-Cs2[B12I12] starts to decompose at 945 °C first, followed by β-Cs2[B12Br12] and β-Cs2[B12Cl12] at 959 °C and 983 °C, respectively.

X-ray powder diffraction investigation of the new high temperature polymorphs beta- and gamma-CaTeO3 and gamma- and delta-CaTe2O5 and picnometric measurements of the room temperature phases of the two compounds have been carried out. The study led to the elucidation of their unit cell structures and assignment of entirely new lattice types and parameters to the room temperature phases of CaTeO3 and CaTe2O5 in contrast and supersession to the existing structural information. The results are as follows: CaTeO3 has only one stable phase at room temperature and temperatures up to 882 °C, i.e., α- and has a triclinic unit cell with a=4.132±0.003 Å, b=6.120±0.006 Å, c=12.836±0.013 Å, α=121.80°, β=99.72°, γ=97.26°. The first high temperature phase stable between 882 and 894 °C, i.e., β-CaTeO3, has a monoclinic lattice: a=20.577±0.007 Å, b=21.857±0.009 Å, c=4.111±0.002 Å, β=96.15°, while the next phase stable above 894 °C, i.e., γ-CaTeO3, has a hexagonal unit cell with parameters: a=14.015±0.0001 Å, c=9.783±0.001 Å, c/a=0.698. CaTe2O5 has one stable phase at temperatures up to 802 °C, i.e., α-CaTe2O5 with a monoclinic lattice and parameters: a=9.069±0.002 Å, b=25.175±0.007 Å, c=3.366±0.001 Å, β=98.29 °. The first high temperature phase stable in the range 802–845°, i.e., β-CaTe2O5, is monoclinic with unit cell parameters: a=4.146±0.001 Å, b=5.334±0.002 Å, c=6.105±0.002 Å, β=98.362 °; the next higher temperature phase stable over 845–857 °C, i.e., γ-CaTe2O5, has an orthorhombic unit cell with: a=8.638±0.001 Å, b=9.291±0.001 Å, c=7.862±0.001 Å and the highest temperature solid phase stable above 857 °C, i.e., δ-CaTe2O5 has a tetragonal unit cell with a=5.764±0.000 Å, c=32.074±0.020 Å, c/a=5.5637.

By solid-phase synthesis at 1373 K in Sr9-xMexTm (VO4)7 systems the solid solutions with Me = Ca (0≤ x≤2) and Me = Pb (0≤ x≤1) were obtained. Single-phase samples at room temperature are isostructural to the Ca3(VO4)2 ferroelectric (space group (sp.gr.) R3c, Z = 6). Substances are characterized by X-ray phase analysis (XRD), second optical harmonic generation (SHG), and dielectric spectroscopy. The intensity of the SHG signal change depending on the substitution cation and its concentration varies in the range of 30-50 units relative to the quartz standard. A reversible ferroelectric phase transition was found in the temperature range 850–960 K. The transition is accompanied by a sharp maximum in the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant. The absence of a SHG signal above the transition temperature indicates the centrosymmetry of the paraelectric phase.

The phase equilibria in the Tl2Te–TlBiТe2–TlTbTe2 concentration area of the Tl–Bi–Tb-Te quaternary system were investigated by using the differential thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction techniques. The diagram of the solid-phase equilibria of this system at room temperature was constructed. It was established that the Tl9BiTe6–Tl9TbTe6 section divides the Tl2Te–TlBiТe2–TlTbTe2 system into two independent subsystems. It was found that the Tl2Te–Tl9BiTe6–Tl9TbTe6 subsystem is characterized by the formation of a wide field of solid solutions with a Tl5Te3 structure (δ-phase) that occupy more than 90% of the area of the concentration triangle. The results of X-ray phase analysis of alloys of the Tl9BiTe6–Tl9TbTe6–TlTbTe2–TlBiТe2 subsystem showed the formation of wide regions of solid solutions based on TlTbTe2 and TlBiTe2 along the section of TlTbTe2–TlBiTe2 ((β1- and β2-phases) and made it possible to determine the location of the heterogeneous phase regions in this subsystem. The parameters of crystal lattices of mutually saturated compositions of the β1-, β2-, and δ-phases are calculated from powder diffraction patterns.The paper also presents some polythermal sections, isothermal sections at 740 and 780 K of the phase diagram, as well as projections of the liquidus and solidus surfaces of the Tl2Te–Tl9BiТe6–Tl9TbTe6 subsystem. The liquidus surface consists of three fields of the primary crystallization of α (Tl2Te)-, δ- and β1-phase. The constructed isothermal sections clearly demonstrate that the directions of the tie lines do not coincide with the T–x planes of the studied internal sections, which is characteristic of non-quasi-binary polythermal sections. The obtained new phases are of interest as potential thermoelectric and magnetic materials.

Work undertaken on the Al-Cr-Ru system has shown excellent oxidation resistance in air up to 1500°C for compositions between Al20:Cr60:Ru20 and Al35:Cr32:Ru33 (at.%). Since no phase diagram data for the Al-Cr-Ru system have been published to date, an investigation was initiated. This part of the investigation is to identify the phases which form on solidification, and to derive the liquidus surface for alloys containing in excess of 50 at. % aluminium.Samples were prepared as arc-melted buttons from 99.9% pure elements, and were analysed in the as-cast state in the SEM using EDS with elemental standards, and by X-ray diffraction.The B2 phase, based on AlRu, extends to at least 25 at. % Cr. The Al3Ru2 phase has not been identified, except perhaps as a thin peritectic layer which was too fine to analyse. This is not surprising, since it exhibits very limited extension in other Al- Ru-X ternary systems, and in the Al-Ru binary system reacts peritectically forming AlRU2, and also subsequently decomposes at lower temperatures.
