AbstractInterdiffusion and intermetallic formation in Ni-Sn interfacial zones are examined by X-ray diffraction in samples prepared by electroplating of Sn at room temperature. For the case of plating directly onto electropolished nickel, only very sluggish formation of Ni3Sn4 was observed at 190 C. In contrast, when the nickel surface is chemicaly or chemically-abrasively activated prior to plating, a thin layer of Ni3Sn forms at the initial interface at room temperature, and subsequent annealing at 100 and 190 C produces all intermetallics predicted by the equilibrium phase diagram including Ni3Sn, indicating that the absence of Ni3Sn usually observed arises from its failure to nucleate.

Intermetallic formation at 425°C in the aluminum–copper system has been studied by scanning electron microscopy using welded diffusion couples. Several Al–Cu phases predicted by the equilibrium phase diagram of the elements and voids taking place in the diffusion zone have been detected in the couples. The predominant phases were found to be Al 2 Cu 3 and the solid solution of Al in Cu, α. The growth of the intermetallic layer obeyed the parabolic law.

Metallic Salts

Bimetallic copper-ruthenium catalysts supported on silica were prepared by the reduction of the metallic salts in aqueous solution at room temperature. The concentration of the two metal components was selected to span the entire range of composition. In spite of the known immiscibility for the copper-ruthenium equilibrium phase diagram, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) measurements combined with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) data indicate that this method of preparation is able to produce nanocrystalline extended solid solutions and/or amorphous metastable phases. In the case of ruthenium-rich compositions, the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) ruthenium crystallites are covered by copper atoms which grow with the same hcp sequence of the ruthenium core. For intermediate compositions a nanocrystalline and/or amorphous phase is observed, while in the case of copper-rich samples a single-phase fcc extended solid solution is found. The surface composition of the samples appears systematically enriched with Cu, as obtained from XPS semiquantitative results. The phenomena of phase separation and growth induced by thermal annealing at 870 K are also presented and discussed.

<p>We use a multi-technique approach to determine the phase diagram and molecular cation dynamics of mixed methylammonium-formamidinium MA1-xFAxPbBr3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) hybrid perovskites. The calorimetric, ultrasonic and X-ray diffraction experiments show a substantial suppression of the structural phase transitions and stabilization of the cubic phase upon mixing. We use the broadband dielectric and Raman spectroscopies to study the MA and FA cations dynamics in these compounds. The broadband dielectric spectroscopy indicates absence of the MA cation ordering and a gradual increase of the rotation barrier upon mixing. The room-temperature dielectric permittivity substantially decreases as the fraction of the FA cations is increased. No significant changes of the permittivity are detected at temperatures where the dielectric relaxations are absent. We also observe weak signatures of a dipolar glass phase for the highest mixing level (x = 0.5). The Raman spectroscopy supports the dielectric results and reveals additional subtle information about the FA cation dynamics.</p><br>

AbstractWe report on the synthesis of β-FeSi2 bulk materials using Horizontal Gradient Freeze (HGF) method. Chunk and powder FeSi2 or high-purity Fe (4N) and Si (9N) were used as starting materials. Three values (1:2, 2:5 and 1:3) of the Fe:Si ratio were selected in the very narrow α and β ranges of the equilibrium phase diagram. Samples were melted between 1300°C and 1500°C in high purity graphite crucibles covered with boron nitride. After cooling, the samples were kept at 800°C and 900°C during 66 to 100 hours, leading to transformation from α to β phase. Cooling rate and annealing time were taken as the two main parameters to optimize the growth conditions. Principal structural characterization was made by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Correlation with stoichiometry was achieved using the results of Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Electron Probe X-Ray Micro Analysis (EPXMA). The samples obtained from 1:2 ratio exhibited mainly β phase while the 2:5 ratio specimens revealed almost α phase structure. The samples prepared with 1:3 ratio was found as a mixture of α and β phases under Si-rich conditions.

In order to obtain essential information on the formation process of the high-Tc phase in the Bi, Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system, phase equilibria in the system PbO-CaO-CuO have been studied, mainly by x-ray diffraction analysis and thermal analysis. Temperature versus composition diagrams were established for the systems PbO-CuO(Cu2O) and PbO(PbO2)–CaO in air. Three invariant points were detected in these systems: a eutectic reaction (PbO + Ca2PbO4 = L) at 847 ± 6°C, a peritectic reaction (Ca2PbO4 = L + CaO) at 980 ± 2°C, and a eutectic reaction (PbO + CuO = L) at 789 ± 3°C. For the system PbO(PbO2)-CaO-CuO, subsolidus phase equilibrium in air was established. The liquidus was also examined at 780, 800, and 820°C, and a ternary (PbO-Ca2PbO4-CuO) eutectic point was detected at 772 ± 6°C.

The mechanism of a solid state reaction in its early stages can be explored by investigating the time evolution of a model reactive system made of a thin layer of one reagent deposited onto a single crystal slab of the other reagent. Insights can be retrieved by comparing results at both local and long length scales obtained with films of different thicknesses and deposited onto different crystal orientations. In particular, reaction between ZnO and Al2O3has been chosen, as the spinel-forming reactions have been and still remain a model experimental system for investigating solid state reactions and because in the ZnO/Al2O3phase diagram, spinel is the only stable compound. The reaction initial steps have been investigated by using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Zn-K edge starting from zincite films deposited onto (110)-, (012)-, (001)-oriented corundum single crystals [1,2]. The reaction eventually yields ZnAl2O4spinel but via a complex mechanism involving side and intermediate non-equilibrium compounds that do not appear in the equilibrium phase diagram of the pseudo-binary system. Spinel, when occurs, is polycrystalline at the end but initially forms with a few preferred orientations. Intermediate phases form before and in parallel with the growth of the spinel. Their number, composition, structure and kinetic role strongly depend on substrate orientation and film thickness. A more detailed understanding of the reactivity can be inferred by comparing EXAFS results to those of grazing incidence diffraction experiments of the films deposited on the (001) face of Al2O3and heat-treated at 10000C for different lengths of time. Information on the structure of the intermediate phases is given and results are discussed by comparing different films thickness to clarify the role of interfacial free energy and crystallographic orientation.

Form Alone

ABSTRACTA feature of thin film reaction that is different from the reaction in bulk samples is the tendency to form a single intermetallic compound rather than all of them which are allowed according to the equilibrium phase diagram. For example, in thin film silicide formation, Pd2Si has been found to form alone and to grow as a layer between Pd and Si. The silicide is stable over a wide temperature range of 100 to 700°C. The phenomenon of single intermetallic compound growth is not unique to silicide formation between transition metal films and silicon, but is also commonly observed in reactions between bimetallic thin films. The phenomenon indicates phase stability.
