ABSTRACTTemperature dependence of the lattice parameter and elastic moduli in Fe-40 and -43Al (at.%) was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and the Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Resonance (EMAR) method. The thermal vacancy concentration was estimated from the activation enthalpy and entropy data of vacancy formation previously reported for FeAl. It was found that both the lattice parameter and the elastic moduli of FeAl have a linear relationship with temperature even in the temperature range where thermal vacancy concentration rapidly increases (above 400 °C), thus suggesting that newly generated thermal vacancies at elevated temperature do not make significant influence on the lattice parameter and the elastic properties of B2-type FeAl.

The high quality Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6 (SBN61) single crystals without any striations were obtained by Czochralski pulling method. The temperature dependence of the lattice parameters of the investigated crystals was studied using a precision X-ray Bond's method. The angular precision of the goniometer 1 arcsine and metric value of Cu K1 (λ = 1.54059292Å) allowed to obtain high precision and accuracy of lattice parameter measurements. The received results allowed to determine the Curie temperature and character of the phase transition in this material. The lattice parameter a monotonically increases and shows hardly visible inflection point at TC when increasing the temperature. The temperature dependence of the lattice parameter c displays quite distinct temperature behaviour. Contrastingly, it decreases with increasing the temperature experiencing an evident anomaly in the vicinity of the structural phase transition point. Obtained value of the ferroelectric phase transition point is TC = 346 ± 3K.

AbstractX-ray diffraction techniques are utilized to characterize the biaxial state of stress in thermal vapor deposited, composition modulated layered structures. Thin film systems, as Au-Ni, Cu-Pd, Ag-Pd, Cu-Ni and Cu-NiFe, have manifested the ‘supermodulus effect’ as a mechanical property. The concept of interlayer coherency gives rise to the notion of accommodating misfit strains between the layers. In turn, such large elastic strains have been shown to cause large increases in the elastic moduli (the ‘supermodulus effect’) of noble metals. In the present work, pole figures are used to determine the texture and crystallographic orientations of these foils, and standard x-ray methods are then used to quantify this strain with lattice parameter measurements and diffraction peak profiles.

Stacking Fault Energies

Reliable data on the temperature dependence of thermodynamic properties of alloy phases are very useful for modeling the behavior of high-temperature materials such as nickel-based superalloys. Moreover, for predicting the mechanical properties of such alloys, additional information on the energy of lattice defects (e.g., stacking faults) at high temperatures is highly desirable, but difficult to obtain experimentally. In this study, we use first-principles calculations, in conjunction with a quasi-harmonic Debye model, to evaluate the Helmholtz free energy of paramagnetic nickel as a function of temperature and volume, taking into account the electronic, magnetic, and vibrational contributions. The thermodynamic properties of Ni, such as the equilibrium lattice parameter and elastic moduli, are derived from the free energy in the temperature range from 800 to 1600 K and compared with available experimental data. The derived temperature dependence of the lattice parameter is then used for calculating the energies of intrinsic and extrinsic stacking faults in paramagnetic Ni. The stacking fault energies have been evaluated according to three different methodologies, the axial-next-nearest-neighbor Ising (ANNNI) model, the tilted supercell approach, and the slab supercell approach. The results show that the elastic moduli and stacking fault energies of Ni decrease with increasing temperature. This “softening” effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of nickel is mainly due to thermal expansion, and partly due to magnetic free energy contribution.

AbstractThe equations of state of dense hydrous magnesium silicates (DHMS), determined from high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction are reviewed, including hydroxylchondrodite, hydroxylclinohumite, phase A, phase B (anhydrous and hydrous), superhydrous phase B and phase E. The phases along the forsterite–brucite join, Mg2SiO4–Mg(OH)2, display near (increasing) linearity in compressibility with respect to water content and increasing bulk moduli (KT) with density. Such trends allow prediction of the as yet unknown bulk moduli of phases such as OH-Mg norbergite. The addition of water also reduces the bulk modulus of the B-phases and the anisotropy observed in axial compression. The alternating layers of octahedra and octahedra + tetrahedra completely control compression of the B phases, with the stacking direction becoming more compressible with addition of water. The enigmatic Phase E has the highest KT' yet measured for a hydrous silicate and one of the lowest KT. In contrast with other DHMS, Phase E is only slightly anisotropic in axial compression and we attribute this to the role of the intralayer cations in the structure. The degree of hydration and the vacancy concentration appear to be coupled in Phase E.

Understanding the role of metal cluster composition in determining catalytic selectivity and activity is of major interest in heterogeneous catalysis. The electron microscope is well established as a powerful tool for ultrastructural and compositional characterization of support and catalyst. Because the spatial resolution of x-ray microanalysis is defined by the smallest beam diameter into which the required number of electrons can be focused, the dedicated STEM with FEG is the instrument of choice. The main sources of errors in energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDS) are: (1) beam-induced changes in specimen composition, (2) specimen drift, (3) instrumental factors which produce background radiation, and (4) basic statistical limitations which result in the detection of a finite number of x-ray photons. Digital beam techniques have been described for supported single-element metal clusters with spatial resolutions of about 10 nm. However, the detection of spurious characteristic x-rays away from catalyst particles produced images requiring several image processing steps.

Silicon (Si) is distributed throughout plant tissues, but its role in forages has not been clarified. Although Si has been suggested as an antiquality factor which limits the digestibility of structural carbohydrates, other research indicates that its presence in plants does not affect digestibility. We employed x-ray microanalysis to evaluate Si as an antiquality factor at specific sites of two cultivars of bermuda grass (Cynodon dactvlon (L.) Pers.). “Coastal” and “Tifton-78” were chosen for this study because previous work in our lab has shown that, although these two grasses are similar ultrastructurally, they differ in in vitro dry matter digestibility and in percent composition of Si.Two millimeter leaf sections of Tifton-7 8 (Tift-7 8) and Coastal (CBG) were incubated for 72 hr in 2.5% (w/v) cellulase in 0.05 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0. For controls, sections were incubated in the sodium acetate buffer or were not treated.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of the mitochondria as a store of calcium(Ca) under the condition of pathophysiological Ca overload induced by a rise in extracellular Ca concentration and the administration of isoproterenol.Eight rats were employed, and hearts were perfused as in the Langendorff method with Krebs-Henseleit solution gassed with 95% O2 and 5% CO2. Tow specimens were perfused with 2mM Ca for 30 min, and 2 were perfused with 5.5 mM Ca for 20 min. 4 specimens were perfused with 2 mM Ca for 5 min, and of these 4, 2 were infused with 10-7 mM/kg/min. isoproterenol for 5 min, and 2 were given a bolus injection of 3 x 10-7 mM isoproterenol. After rapid-cryofixation by the metal-mirror contact method with a Reichert-Jung KF80/MM80, and cryosectioning at -160 to -180° C with a Reichert-Jung Ultracut Fc-4E, ultrathin specimens (100nm) were free-ze-dreid for several hours at 10-5 Torr in the JEOL FD 7000, and mitochondrial Ca was determined by quantitative x-ray micranalysis (JEOL 1200EX, LINK AN 10000S).

Role Of Zn

Subcellular compartments commonly identified and analyzed by high resolution electron probe x-ray microanalysis (EPXMA) include mitochondria, cytoplasm and endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum. These organelles and cell regions are of primary importance in regulation of cell ionic homeostasis. Correlative structural-functional studies, based on the static probe method of EPXMA combined with biochemical and electrophysiological techniques, have focused on the role of these organelles, for example, in maintaining cell calcium homeostasis or in control of excitation-contraction coupling. New methods of real time quantitative x-ray imaging permit simultaneous examination of multiple cell compartments, especially those areas for which both membrane transport properties and element content are less well defined, e.g. nuclei including euchromatin and heterochromatin, lysosomes, mucous granules, storage vacuoles, microvilli. Investigations currently in progress have examined the role of Zn-containing polyphosphate vacuoles in the metabolism of Leishmania major, the distribution of Na, K, S and other elements during anoxia in kidney cell nuclel and lysosomes; the content and distribution of S and Ca in mucous granules of cystic fibrosis (CF) nasal epithelia; the uptake of cationic probes by mltochondria in cultured heart ceils; and the junctional sarcoplasmic retlculum (JSR) in frog skeletal muscle.
