ABSTRACTA high speed x-ray diffraction system has been built around a Curved Position Sensitive Detector. This system has a hot/cold stage in a modified vacuum chamber to allow for control of the ambient gas mix while in-situ x-ray diffraction spectra are acquired. We have used this system to measure the strain in Al/Cr/SiO2 structures after abrupt changes in temperature. The good adhesion afforded by the Cr layer combined with the large difference in the thermal expansion coefficients of the Al (≃25×10−6/°K) and the quartz (≃0.5×10−6/°K) components make this an ideal sample for demonstrating the capabilities of this system. In-situ resistivity measurement provides an independent indication of the changes in the sample.

Deformation mechanisms of as-deposited and post-annealed Ti50.2Ni49.6, Ti50.3Ni46.2Cu3.5and Ti48.5Ni40.8Cu7.5thin films were investigated using thein situsynchrotron X-ray diffraction technique. Results showed that initial crystalline phases determined the deformation mechanisms of all the films during tensile loading. For the films dominated by monoclinic martensites (B19′), tensile stress induced the detwinning of 〈011〉 type-II twins and resulted in the preferred orientations of (002)B19′parallel to the loading direction (∥ LD) and (020)B19′perpendicular to the LD (⊥ LD). For the films dominated by austenite (B2), the austenite directly transformed into martensitic variants (B19′) with preferred orientations of (002)B19′ ∥ LD and (020)B19′ ⊥ LD. For the Ti50.3Ni46.2Cu3.5and Ti48.1Ni40.8Cu7.5films, martensitic transformation temperatures decreased apparently after post-annealing because of the large thermal stress generated in the films due to the large differences in thermal expansion coefficients between the film and substrate.

Dianin's Compound

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at 293 K, and refined to a final Rw of 0.057. The crystals are rhombohedral, space group [Formula: see text], with a = 27.134(8) Å, c = 10.933(2) Å, and Z = 18. The mole ratio of Dianin's compound (4-p-hydroxyphenyl-2,2,4-trimethylchroman) to CCl4 is 6:1. The guest molecules are disordered. X-ray powder diffraction was carried out in the temperature range from 10 to 300 K. From this, the thermal expansion coefficients for the a- and c-axes and the volume have been determined. Keywords: thermal expansion, crystal structure, clathrate.

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.

Most position sensitive proportional counters (PSPCs) currently used in X-ray diffraction experiments have a dead time longer than 5 μs. Though such PSPCs are useful in measuring weak diffraction diagrams, a faster counter is needed to detect strong X-ray diagrams produced with synchrotron radiation sources. The long dead time of PSPCs using a charge division position read-out is due to the slow analog division circuit plus analog-to-digital converter employed in the present system. A fast processor can be built utilising two high-speed ADCs to digitize voltage signals from the detector, followed by a digital divider to compute position of detected photons. The present paper describes the design of such a processor and some preliminary testings of its performances.

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.

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.
