ABSTRACTThe reaction rate kinetics of the thin film solid-state reaction between 120 nm of Pd and 100 or 300 nm of a-Si:H(18at%) to form Pd2Si were studied in situ using x-ray diffraction and four-point probe resistivity measurements during isothermal annealing. These two techniques yielded activation energies and prefactors of Ea=1. 36±:0.11 eV with ko=4.29 cm2/sec for the x-ray diffraction experiments; and Ea=0.97±0.22 eV with ko=3.42x10-4 cm2/sec for the resistivity measurements. The activation energy and prefactor obtained from the c-Si substrate of the resistivity measurements yielded Ea=l.41±0.31 eV and ko=10.6 cm2/sec. Comparisons showed that the silicide formed from the a-Si:H reacted approximately 1.4 times faster than the silicide formed from the c-Si in the same sample, but three times faster than silicide formed on pure c-Si(111). The crystalline texture and grain size of the metal and silicide films were examined.

ABSTRACTSamples of crystalline (111) silicon were coated with various thicknesses of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), then coated with 100 nm of palladium. These samples were then reacted to form Pd2Si in vacuum. The activation energies and reaction prefactors were determined by monitoring the film thickness using x-ray diffraction and by 4-point resistivity measurements. The crystallographic texture of the metal overlayer and suicide films were investigated before and after the reaction.

This note describes an autoclave chamber developed and constructed by Anton Paar and its application for in situ experiments under hydrothermal conditions. Reactions of crystalline phases can be studied by successive in situ measurements on a conventional laboratory X-ray diffractometer with Bragg–Brentano geometry at temperatures <483 K and saturated vapour pressure <2 MPa. Variations in the intensity of X-ray diffraction reflections of both reactants and products provide quantitative information for studying the reaction kinetics of both dissolution and crystal growth. Feasibility is demonstrated by studying a cementitious mixture used for autoclaved aerated concrete production. During a period of 5.7 h at 466 K and 1.35 MPa, the crystallization of torbermorite and the partial consumption of quartz were monitored.

ABSTRACTUranium-plutonium mixed oxides incorporating high amounts of plutonium are considered for future nuclear reactors. For plutonium content higher than 20%, a phase separation occurs, depending on the temperature and on the oxygen stoichiometry. This phase separation phenomenon is still not precisely described, especially at high plutonium content. Here, using an original in situ fast X-ray diffraction device dedicated to radioactive materials, we evidenced a phase separation occurring during rapid cooling from 1773 K to room temperature at the rate of 0.05 and 2 K per second for a (U0.55Pu0.45)O2-x compound under a reducing atmosphere. The results show that the cooling rate does not impact the lattice parameters of the obtained phases at room temperature but their fraction. In addition to their obvious fundamental interest, these results are of utmost importance in the prospect of using uranium-plutonium mixed oxides with high plutonium content as nuclear fuels.

The phase formation sequence of Ni silicide for different thicknesses is studied by in situ X ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The formation of a transient phase is observed during the formation of δ-Ni2Si; transient phases grow and disappear during the growth of another phase. A possible mechanism is proposed for the transient phase formation and consumption. It is applied to the growth and consumption of θ-Ni2Si. A good accordance is found between the proposed model and in situ measurement of the kinetics of phase formation obtained by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry for higher thickness.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; Subduction zone is a distinct activity structure of hypocenter distribution of earthquakes. Hydrous minerals are involved in the chemical and physical activities in subduction zones. As a widely distributed hydrous mineral in shallow depths, talc has potential significance in various fault activities, and its dehydration reaction may be an important cause of the earthquake. Iron is a main element of the earth's crust, and the iron contents of hydrous minerals have a large impact on melting point, the rheological strength physical and chemical properties of the rocks. As a common hydrous mineral, the iron content of talc is not uniform; therefore, it is very important to study the dehydration kinetics of talc with different iron content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160; &amp;#160; The dehydration reaction of three different iron contents talc was studied by means of synchronous thermal analysis, high temperature and high pressure differential thermal experiment and in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiment. Data of synchronous thermal analysis was calculated by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO). The activation energies of different iron content talc were calculated as 359.8 kJ/mol&amp;#65288;FeO&amp;#65306;0.4wt%&amp;#65289;&amp;#65292;368.2.0 kJ/mol&amp;#65288;FeO&amp;#65306;2.0wt&amp;#65285;&amp;#65289;&amp;#65292;belonging to the second-order reaction. Data of in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiment was fitted by Avrami equation, E=350 kJ/mol&amp;#65288;FeO&amp;#65306;2.0wt&amp;#65285;&amp;#65289;&amp;#65292;n=1.67. The dehydration of talc followed random nucleation and growth mechanism. High content of iron obviously resulted in lower dehydration temperature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160; The release rate of talc dehydration fluid was 2.3E-05 to 6.1E-06 obtained by in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiment&amp;#65292;it could lead to local overpressure induced rock brittle fracture. The supercritical fluid produced by the dehydration of talc in the subduction zone further attenuates the rock, resulting in local overpressure, which eventually leads to rock failure. The results suggested that the dehydration of different iron contents of talc may occur at the different depth around hundreds of kilometers, so the study was significant to our understanding of the genetic mechanism of earthquakes in the subduction zone.&lt;/p&gt;

The nanocrystallization process in amorphous Fe 81 B 13.5 Si 3.5 C 2 ribbons caused by isothermal annealing below the crystallization temperature is studied. X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements are used to identify the formation of new Fe containing compounds such as the ribbons annealed at various temperatures. The ferromagnetic resonance measurements for an as-cast ribbon and the 495°, 525°C and 600°C annealed ribbons exhibit a resonance line at 63.64 mT for φ = 0°. The sample annealed at 425°C shows two resonance peaks at 95.45 mT and 295.46 mT. These are due to the nanocrystalline α– Fe(Si) phase. The resonance-line widths are seen to broaden after the ribbons are annealed at 495°C and 525°C, at which time, the amorphous matrix crystallizes into nano-grains of α– Fe(Si) , t– Fe 2 B and t– Fe 3 B phases. The kinetics of the crystallization is discussed in terms of the relative change in the line width of the samples annealed at 495°C for different annealing times. These results yielded an Avrami exponent, n of 0.84 which is consistent with diffusion-controlled growth with a nucleation rate close to zero.
