ABSTRACTIn this paper we report the difference in the structures, physical properties and thermal behaviors of two compositions of amorphous Hf-Cu. One (Hf50CU50) is near the eutectic composition and the other (Hf67Cu33) corresponds to an intermetallic compound. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM, SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), electrical resistivity and high-angle X-ray diffraction have been used to study these glasses in detail. Amorphous Hf67 Cu33 is structurally stable up to the crystallization temperature, while Hf50 Cu50 undergoes a ductile to brittle transition associated with a chemicai phase segregation at temperatures far below the glass transition. An anomalous behavior in the resistivity is associated with this phase transformation.

The doping of tungsten into VO2 (M) via a polyol process that is based on oligomerization of ammonium metavanadate and ethylene glycol (EG) to synthesize a vanadyl ethylene glycolate (VEG) followed by postcalcination was carried out by simply adding 1-dodecanol and the tungsten source tungstenoxytetrachloride (WOCl4). Tungsten-doped VEGs (W-VEGs) and their calcinated compounds (WxVO2) were prepared with varying mixing ratios of EG to 1-dodecanol and WOCl4 concentrations. Characterizations of W-VEGs by powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and infrared and transmittance spectroscopy showed that tungsten elements were successfully doped into WxVO2, thereby decreasing the metal-insulator transition temperature from 68 down to 51 °C. Our results suggested that WOCl4 variously combined with 1-dodecanol might interrupt the linear growth of W-VEGs, but that such an interruption might be alleviated at the optimal 1:1 mixing ratio of EG to 1-dodecanol, resulting in the successful W doping. The difference in the solar modulations of a W0.0207VO2 dispersion measured at 20 and 70 °C was increased to 21.8% while that of a pure VO2 dispersion was 2.5%. It was suggested that WOCl4 coupled with both EG and 1-dodecanol at an optimal mixing ratio could improve the formation of W-VEG and WxVO2 and that the bulky dodecyl chains might act as defects to decrease crystallinity.

Microwave sintered Si3N4-MgO system that contains 2, 4 and 10 wt% of ZrO2 as secondary particulates were investigated with respect to phase transformation and microstructure development. The experimental results of microwave sintered samples were compared with conventional methods. Complete α to β phase transformation was observed in the case of microwave sintered samples due to the volumetric nature of microwave heating. High temperature X-ray diffraction (HTXRD) analysis was performed to study in-situ the oxidation behavior of Si3N4 specimens. Si3N4 specimens with 10 wt % ZrO2 were exposed to air at temperature between 25°C and 900°C for up to 24 hours. Microwave sintered sample were structurally stable in air 25°C and 900°C for up to 24 hours of testing.

AbstractElectrochemical lithium intercalation in nanostructured anatase TiO2 is investigated with in-situ X-ray diffraction. A complete and reversible phase transformation from tetragonal anatase TiO2 to orthorhombic anatase Li0.5TiO2 is observed. The difference of the XRD spectra before and after insertion can be fitted with the lattice parameters of the two phases as fit parameters. The maximum amount of lithium that can be dissolved in anatase TiO2 before the phase transformation occurs is found to be very small.

AbstractDifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed on a-Zr2 PdHx, a-Zr3 RhHx, a-Zr76 Fe24 Hx, and a- Zr2NiHx to assess the effects of hydrogen on their thermal stabilities. Only exothermic DSC peaks were observed for the hydrogen-free glasses and are shown to correspond to the formation of crystalline intermetallic phases. On the other hand, heating of the amorphous hydrides gives decomposition reactions with the generation of ZrHx (1.5 <x < 2.0) and either free metal (e.g., Rh) or a Zr-depleted intermetallic (e.g., ZrPd). With the exception of the Zr2 PdHx samples, hydrogenation significantly decreases the thermal stabilities (i.e., the exothermic transitions occur at lower temperatures in the amorphous hydrides). Endothermic peaks, which are associated with hydrogen evolution from the glass, are observed when the hydrogen-to-metal ratios approach unity.

Many technological applications of austenitic shape memory alloys (SMAs) involve cyclical mechanical loading and unloading in order to take advantage of pseudoelasticity. In this paper, we investigated the effect of mechanical bending of pseudoelastic NiTi SMA wires using high-energy synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD). Differential scanning calorimetry was performed to identify the phase transformation temperatures. Scanning electron microscopy images show that micro-cracks in compressive regions of the wire propagate with increasing bend angle, while tensile regions tend not to exhibit crack propagation. SR-XRD patterns were analyzed to study the phase transformation and investigate micromechanical properties. By observing the various diffraction peaks such as the austenite (200) and the martensite (${\bar 1}12$), (${\bar 1}03$), (${\bar 1}11$), and (101) planes, intensities and residual strain values exhibit strong anisotropy, depending upon whether the sample is in compression or tension during bending.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) of Cu45Zr48-xAl7Tix with x= 0, 1.5, and 3 at.% were prepared by copper mould casting. The corrosion resistance of the BMGs with different Ti contents was examined by potentiodynamic polarization tests and weight loss measurements in 1 N NaOH, 1 N H2SO4, 1 N H2SO4 + 0.01 N NaCl and 0.5 N NaCl solutions, respectively. The newly-developed BMGs’ corrosion resistance in Cl-- or both H+ and Cl--ions containing solutions can be greatly enhanced. The influence of Ti addition on glass forming ability (GFA) and thermal stability was investigated by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry in detail. The alloy containing 1.5 at.% Ti exhibits the largest GFA, the critical size comes up to 10 mm in diameter.

Yttrium Silicate

The linear thermal-expansion coefficients of yttrium silicate Y2SiO5, [Y2(SiO4)O] were measured in the temperature range from 20 to 1400 °C using x-ray diffraction. The anomalous behavior of thermal expansion was observed above Tc = 850 °C and was attributed to the displacive phase transformation. The transformation was reversible and resulted from the local order °C the compositional disorder and local fluctuation in the elastic free energy constrained a secondary transformation related to the polymorphic twin transformation. This created an additional peak in x-ray diffraction patterns at 2 's intensity. The characteristic of phase transformation both on heating and on cooling of the sample was also investigated using the differential thermal analysis method. The thermogravimetric technique did not indicate on a change of weight at Tc.

The Difference

Al-Cu-Fe-Si quasicrystalline coatings were prepared by high velocity air fuel spraying to study their phase transformation during the process. The feedstock powder and coating were phase characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and transmission electron microscopy. Results show that Al3Cu2 phase, a small amount of λ-Al13Fe4 phase, quasicrystalline phase (QC), amorphous phase, and β-Al (Cu, Fe, Si) phase were present in the sprayed Al50Cu20Fe15Si15 powder. For a typical flattened powder particle, the splat periphery was surrounded by a 1 µm thick amorphous phase. The inside area of the splat was composed of the QC covered by the Al3Cu2 and Si-rich β-Al (Cu, Fe, Si) phases. Another kind of Cu- rich β-Al (Cu, Fe, Si) phase can be found close to the amorphous area with a similar composition to the original β-Al (Cu, Fe, Si) phase in the powder. Different phases were observed when the periphery and inside area of the splat were compared. This result was caused by the difference in the heating and cooling rates.

The kinetics of phase transitions and phase segregation induced by annealing temperature on the Ti–W–O gas-sensing layer was studied by x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The main goal was to identify, on the basis of kinetics studies, structurally stable Ti–WO3 thin film phases and compare their response to polluting gases in order to determine possible correlations between structural and electrical properties of the sensing layers.
