ABSTRACTLayered LnBa(Co,Me)2O5+δ (Ln = Nd, Sm, Ho and Y; Me = Fe, Ni, Cu) with double perovskite structure were synthesized by the solid-state reaction and glycerin-nitrate technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, iodometric titration and dilatometry. Homogeneity ranges for the solid solutions were determined. The oxygen content in LnBa(Co,Me)2O5+δ decreases with decreasing rare-earth cation size. Partial substitution of cobalt by iron increases oxygen content while introduction of copper decrease it. The average thermal expansion coefficients were calculated. Chemical compatibility of studied perovskites with Ce0.8Sm0.2O2 and Zr0.85Y0.15O2 solid electrolytes has been studied.

A new series of solid solutions Dy2-xGdxMo4O15 (x = 0.0-0.9) were prepared. These compounds all crystallize in monoclinic structure with space group P21/c. The lattice parameters a, b, c and unit cell volumes V increase almost linearly with increasing gadolinium content. The intrinsic thermal expansion coefficients of Dy2-xGdxMo4O15 (x = 0.0 and 0.25) were obtained in the temperature range of 25 to 500°C with high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The correlation between thermal expansion and crystal structure was discussed.

Variable-temperature high-resolution capillary-mode powder X-ray diffraction is used to assess changes in unit-cell dimensions as a function of temperature over the range 188–328 K. No evidence was found for any polymorphic transformations over this temperature range and thermal expansion coefficients for urea were found to be αa= (5.27 ± 0.26) × 10−5 K−1and αc= (1.14 ± 0.057) × 10−5 K−1.

AbstractThe structure of hibonite from Myanmar (space group P63/mmc, Z = 2, at room temperature a = 5.5909(1), c = 21.9893(4) Å), with simplified formula CaAl12O19 and composition (Ca0.99Na0.01)Σ1.00 was investigated between temperatures of 100 K and 923 K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Structure refinements have been performed at 100, 296, 473 and 923 K. In hibonite from Myanmar, Ti substitutes for Al mainly at the octahedral Al4 site and, to a lesser degree, at the trigonal bipyramidal site, Al2. The Al4 octahedra build face-sharing dimers. If Ti4+ substitutes at Al4, adjacent cations repulse each other for electrostatic reasons, leading to off-centre cation displacement associated with significant bond-length distortion compared to synthetic (Ti-free) CaAl12O19. Most Mg and smaller proportions of Zn and Si are assigned to the tetrahedral Al3 site. 12-coordinated Ca in hibonite replaces oxygen in a closest-packed layer. However, Ca is actually too small for this site and engages in a ‘rattling-type’ motion with increasing temperature. For this reason, Ca does not significantly increase thermal expansion coefficients of hibonite. The expansion of natural Ti,Mg-rich hibonite between 296 and 923 K along the x and the z axes is αa = 7.64×10–6 K–1 and αc = 11.19×10–6 K–1, respectively, and is thus very similar to isotypic, synthetic CaAl12O19 and LaMgAl11O19 (LMA).

The crystal structures of hexakis(phenylthio)benzene (HPTB) and its CBr4 clathrate have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at T = 18 °C and refined to final Rw of 0.036 and 0.047, respectively. Pure HPTB is triclinic, space group [Formula: see text] (No. 2), with a = 9.589(2) Å, b = 10.256(1) Å, c = 10.645(2) Å, α = 68.42(1)°, β = 76.92(2)°, γ = 65.52(1)°, and Z = 1. The CBr4 clathrate of HPTB is rhombohedral, space group [Formula: see text] (No. 148), with a = 14.327(4) Å, b = 20.666(8) Å, and Z = 3. The host–guest mole ratio of HPTB–CBr4 is 1:2. Neutron powder diffraction was carried out on powders of both compounds in the temperature range 25 K < T < 295 K. Thermal expansion coefficients were determined for HPTB and HPTB–CBr4 over this temperature range. Keywords: thermal expansion, crystal structure, clathrate.

AbstractSolid solutions CaLa_2- x Eu_ x Ge_3O_10 ( x = 0.0–0.6, Δ x = 0.1) have been synthesized for the first time. The compounds are isostructural to CaLa_2Ge_3O_10, they crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P 2_1/ c , Z = 4. The low-temperature X-ray diffraction studies have revealed the strain anisotropy of germanate CaLa_2Ge_3O_10 crystal lattice in the temperature range 80–298 K, and the linear thermal expansion coefficients have been calculated. The optical properties of the activated phases have been studied, and the influence of the dopant concentration and the excitation wavelength on the luminescence characteristics of the synthesized compounds has been established.

Modified solution precipitation method was used to prepare pure and doped Mg, Sr and Na hydroxyapatite type materials (CaP, CaMgP and CaSrNaP). Modification consisted of partial substitution of nitrates by acetate solution in order to achieve a more soluble and cost effective synthesis. The obtained samples were calcined at 400?C (CaP400, CaMgP400 and CaSrNaP400). All powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Calcined samples were densified at 1000?C in an air for 3 h (CaP1000, CaMgP1000 and CaSrNaP1000). Sintered samples were characterized by XRPD, FTIR, SEM, EDS and complex impedance methods. The highest conductivity was found for the multi-doped phosphate sample (CaSrNaP1000) at 700?C (1.90?10-3?-1cm-1). The corresponding activation energies of conductivity amounted to 0.31 eV in the temperature range 500-700?C.

Phase transformation of the Zr-1.0Sn-0.39Nb-0.31Fe-0.05Cr alloy was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results revealed that the alloy contained two precipitates at room temperature, namely β-Nb and hexagonal Zr(Nb,Fe,Cr,)2. β-Nb was suggested to dissolve into the α-Zr matrix at the 580oC. Thin oxide film formed at the alloy’s surface was identified as mixture of the monoclinic Zr0.93O2and tetragonal ZrO2, when the temperature reached to 750oC and 850 oC. The thermal expansion coefficients of αZr in this alloy was of αa = 8.39×10-6/°C, αc = 2.48×10-6/°C.

Time-resolved x-ray diffraction (TRXRD) was performed during Ti5Si3 synthesis by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis mode for different Ti size fractions. It was determined that the time for product formation (ca. 15 s) was independent of Ti particle size. However, the formation of Ti5Si4 phase occurred when relatively large titanium particles were used. A simultaneous measurement of the temperature and TRXRD allowed us to attribute the shifting of XRD peaks at high temperature to thermal expansion of the Ti5Si3 product. The thermal expansion coefficients differ for different crystal planes, and their numerical values compare well with those reported previously in the literature.

Residual stresses in dental castings are widely held to be the cause of distortion and change of fit in ceramic bonded to metal dental restorations. Residual stresses are thought to result from the casting process and from ceramic/metal mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients. Such stresses have not been confirmed experimentally. The purpose of this study was to measure residual stress with x-ray diffraction at the various porcelain application steps for two noble dental alloys with two dental opaque porcelains.
