AbstractThis Raman study indicates that the boroxol ring concentrations for glasses in the B2 O3-GeO2 and B2 O3-GeO2-SiO2 systems are dependent upon temperature and composition. Ring breakage and formation occur well below Tg. An Arrhenius plot of intensity data for borogermanate g glass indicates that the heat of ring rupture is ca. 7.7 Kcal/mole. The boroxol ring concentrations in various glasses were also investigated at room temperature after various heat treatments. The structural interpretation from Raman scattering data was compared with that from IR data.

ABSTRACTWe report results from a Raman scattering study of stage 2 Graphite-Rb and Graphite-K in the low frequency region (ω < 150 cm-1) as a function of temperature (80K < T < 300K). Four features are seen in the 80K spectra and are interpreted in terms of a Born– von Kármán lattice dynamics model. The temperature-dependence of the Raman spectra is discussed in connection with reported phase transitions in stage 2 alkalimetal graphite compounds.

The paper sets out the role of electronic coherence in the strong temperature dependence of the intensity of Raman scattering from two atom diameter HgTe nanowires. It argues the behavior is likely common in extreme nanowires, and possibly due to excitonic effects.

ABSTRACTRaman study of as-grown and H2O2-etched surfaces of Zn0.1Cd0.9 Te single crystal has been performed. A distribution of Te precipitates on the surface of as-grown ZCT, which increases after etching, has been encountered. With high irradiation powers, due to the oxidation of the surfaces, new bands of TeO32− are evolved. A downward shift in the peak position, as well as a halfwidth broadening, of all Raman modes has been observed with increasing laser power. The phenomenon, due to the formation of insulating oxide of tellurium in a dispersion of Te precipitates and vice-versa, has been attributed to the quantum confinement of phonons.

ABSTRACTUsing a CO2 laser to drive the pyrolysis of W(CO)6 and O2, we have synthesized nanocrystalline WO3-x particles. These nanopowders are found to exhibit a narrow size distribution with an average particle size produced in the range 5 to 10 nm, depending on the experimental conditions. Typical production rates are ∼ 2 g/h. Results from a Raman scattering study on WO3 nanopowder samples annealed in O2 indicate that a smaller particle size appears to stabilize the low-T ferroelectric phase ( < -40 °C) at room temperature.

This work relates to the field of thermophysical parameters of refractory interstitial alloys. The isochoric heat capacity of cubic titanium carbide TiCx has been calculated within the Debye approximation in the carbon concentration  range x = 0.70–0.97 at room temperature (300 K) and at liquid nitrogen temperature (80 K) through the Debye temperature established on the basis of neutron diffraction analysis data. It has been found out that at room temperature with decrease of carbon concentration the heat capacity significantly increases from 29.40 J/mol·K to 34.20 J/mol·K, and at T = 80 K – from 3.08 J/mol·K to 8.20 J/mol·K. The work analyzes the literature data and gives the results of the evaluation of the high-temperature dependence of the heat capacity СV of the cubic titanium carbide TiC0.97 based on the data of neutron structural analysis. It has been proposed to amend in the Neumann–Kopp formula to describe the high-temperature dependence of the titanium carbide heat capacity. After the amendment, the Neumann–Kopp formula describes the results of well-known experiments on the high-temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the titanium carbide TiCx. The proposed formula takes into account the degree of thermal excitation (a quantized number) that increases in steps with increasing temperature.The results allow us to predict the thermodynamic characteristics of titanium carbide in the temperature range of 300–3000 K and can be useful for materials scientists.
