ABSTRACTThe modification of film stress in evaporated tungsten was studied as a function of deposition environment. Using concurrent ion bombardment of the growing film, the stress was seen to vary systematically with ion energy, ion flux, and substrate temperature. The qualitative behavior fits the model of stress modification developed for niobium films. X-ray diffraction was used to study the structure of the films, and a clear correlation between crystallographic texture and film stress is found. The original structure/impurity model for film stress modification due to ion bombardment has been modified to account for the relationship between film stress and texture.

The crystal structures of the salicylideneaniline derivatives N-salicylidene-4-tert-butyl-aniline (1), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-methoxyaniline (2), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-bromoaniline (3), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-chloroaniline (4), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-4-bromoaniline (5), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-aniline (6), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-4-carboxyaniline (7) and N-salicylidene-2-chloroaniline (8) were analyzed by X-ray diffraction analysis at ambient temperature to investigate the relationship between their photochromic properties and molecular structures. A clear correlation between photochromism and the dihedral angle of the two benzene rings in the salicylideneaniline derivatives was observed. Crystals with dihedral angles less than 20° were non-photochromic, whereas those with dihedral angles greater than 30° were photochromic. Crystals with dihedral angles between 20 and 30° could be either photochromic or non-photochromic. Inhibition of the pedal motion by intra- or intermolecular steric hindrance, however, can result in non-photochromic behaviour even if the dihedral angle is larger than 30°.

Thick Cu−Sn alloy layers were produced in an [EMIM]Cl ionic-liquid solution from CuCl2 and SnCl2 in different ratios. All work, including the electrodeposition, took place outside the glovebox with a continuous argon stream over the electrolyte at 95 °C. The layer composition and layer thickness can be adjusted by the variation of the metal-salts content in the electrolyte. A layer with a thickness of up to 15 µm and a copper content of up to ωCu = 0.86 was obtained. The phase composition was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Furthermore, it was found that the relationship between the alloy composition and the concentration of the ions in the electrolyte is described as an irregular alloy system as according to Brenner. Brenner described such systems only for aqueous electrolytes containing complexing agents such as cyanide. In this work, it was confirmed that irregular alloy depositions also occur in [EMIM]Cl.

AbstractThe volumes of a disordered An20 (Qod = 0.15), a disordered An78 (Qod = 0.55) and an ordered An78 (Qod = 0.81) were determined up to 9.569(10) GPa, 8.693(5) GPa and 9.765(10) GPa, respectively, using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The volume variations with pressure for these samples are described with 4th-order Birch Murnaghan equations of state with V0 = 669.88(7) Å3, K0 = 59.7(7) GPa. K′ = 5.7(5), K″ = −0.8(2) GPa−1 for disordered An20, V0 = 1340.48(10) Å3, K0 = 77.6(5) GPa, K0′ = 4.0(3), K″ = -0.59(9) GPa−1 for disordered An78 and V0 = 1339.62(6) A3, K0 = 77.4(6) GPa, K′ = 4.2(4), and K″ = −0.7(1) GPa−1 for ordered An78. Along with data from previous studies (An0 ordered, An0 disordered and An2o ordered), the volumes for the disordered samples were found to be up to ∼0.3% larger than the ordered samples of the same composition. The disordered samples are softer than the ordered samples of the same composition by 4(1)% for An0, 2.5(9)% for An20 and essentially zero for An78. The relationship between volume increase, density decrease, and decreasing bulk modulus with increasing disorder is in accordance with Birch's Law.

In this paper, the effects of different sintering temperature on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3(PNZZT) ceramic samples were investigated. The Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 ceramics materials was prepared by a conventional mixed oxide method. In the period of the experiment, the relationship between crystallographic phase and microstructure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) respectively. The XRD patterns shows that all of the ceramic samples are with a tetragonal perovskite structure. Along with sintering temperature increased and the x is 0.03, the grain size gradually become big. Through this experiment, it has been found that when the x is 0.03 and sintered at 1130°C for 2 h, the grains grow well, the grain-boundary intersection of the sample combined well and the porosity of the ceramics decreased, an excellent comprehensive electrical properties of the Pb(Nb2/3Zn1/3)0.03(Zr52Ti48)0.97O3 samples can be obtained. Its best electrical properties are as follows: dielectric constant (ε) is 1105, dielectric loss(tg) is 0.017, electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kp) is 0.287, piezoelectric constant(d33) is 150PC/N

A [O,N] bidentate π-expanded ligand system, (E)-1-(n-octylimino)methylpyren-2-ol (2), was newly synthesized via a six-step synthesis from pyrene. The ligand 2 reacts with [PtCl2(PhCN)2] in chlorobenzene and the presence of a base at reflux for 2 h under the formation of (2(Pt)) complex with a yield of 70%. The molecular structure of (2(Pt)), studied by common spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction, shows a square planar geometry with a trans-configuration of the ligands. The molecular structure, absorption spectra, electrochemical properties, and phosphorescence characteristics of the (2(Pt)) complex are discussed, emphasizing the comparison with those of the previously reported Pt complex (1(Pt)) containing the isomeric ligands of 2, (E)-2-(n-octylimino)methylpyren-1-ol. The DFT calculations of the two Pt complexes are carried out and exhibit a clear explanation of the relationship between their physico-chemical characteristics.

AbstractVivianite specimens from various world localities yield X-ray powder patterns of two types: one corresponds with that shown by synthetic Fe3(PO4)2· 8H2O and is not readily distinguished from that of barićite; the second shows reflections of monoclinic vivianite and triclinic metavivianite along with reflections of a bobierrite-type phase. The triclinic phase occurs as two twin-related lattices with twin plane 110 being the structural equivalent of 010 in the monoclinic phase. The relationship of the bobierrite-type lattice to the other two has not been established. The ternary pattern is produced by some coarse-grained vivianites on natural oxidation. Finer grained vivianites oxidise to an X-ray amorphous state without passing through a triclinic intermediate.

M2052 alloys with various aging treatments are obtained in order to investigate the relationship between aging treatment and damping capacity by the torsion pendulum, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) methods. The results show that M2052 can obtain high damping capacity (δ>0.2) when aged at a range from 400°C to 450°C, and the damping capacity after aged at a lower temperature is higher than that aged at a higher temperature for the maximum values. TEM and XRD results show that fcc-fct transformation occurs after aging treatment. The volumes of fct structures are one of reason to affect the damping capacity in M2052 alloy. The better understanding aging treatment could promote the applications of M2052 alloy.

AbstractA comprehensive chart is preserit of the X-ray diffraction effects of gas-and Uquid-like armorphous substances, small particle-size materials, mixtures of amorphous and crystalline compounds, sheetlike crystals, and fibrous materials.The relationship between the X-ray diagrams and chemical preparations as shown by typical examples from the field of the manufacture of active catalysts cadmium sulfide semiconductors, pour point-depressed lubricants, electroless nickel platings and metal-filled cellulose fibers.The investigation of thin surface layers formed by chemical reactions required the combination of electron and X-ray diffraction techniques. The usefulness of this combination of methods is demonstrated by a study of black stain formation on cold rolled annealed steel. By identifying the materials in the stain and determining the sequence in which they formed a reaction mechanism between steel surface and annealing-gas can be postulated.

The relationship between phase equilibria in the PbF2−AlF3 system and the solidification behavior of several ternary lead aluminum fluoride compounds was explored. A partial binary phase diagram for the PbF2−AlF3 system was determined from differential thermal analysis, annealing and directional solidification studies. The compounds AlF3, Pb3Al2F12, Pb9Al2F24, and a PbF2 solid solution were identified by x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive and microprobe analysis. The previously reported phases PbAlF5 and PbAl2F8 were not observed. Directional solidification studies showed that it is possible to grow crystals of AlF3, Pb3Al2F12, and the PbF2 solid solution from nonstoichiometric PbF2−AlF3 melts. The compound Pb9Al2F24 was found to decompose on heating by a peritectoid reaction (forming two other solids) and thus could not be solidified directly from a PbF2−AlF3 melt.
