AbstractThe amorphization reaction in mechanically prepared metallic Ni-Zr composites has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, electrical conductivity and magnetization measurements during isothermal annealing. The formation kinetics of the amorphous phase are determined by the diffusion of the Ni atoms across the amorphous NiZr layer. The diffusivity of Ni atoms in the initially formed amorphous Ni58.5 Zr41.5 is measured in the temperature range from 225°C (Dni= 5.3×10−17 cm2/sec) to 325°C (Dni= 1×10−14 cm2/sec). The data fit an Arrhenius plot with an activation energy of 1.4 eV. Magnetic coercivity measurements indicate that neither recovery nor recrystallization occurs in the Ni layers during the reaction. The Kirkendall effect caused by the anomalous fast diffusion of Ni is directly monitored by dilatometric measurements. Microhardness results are also presented. The role of a diffusion-related growth selection favoring the amorphous phase is critically assessed with respect to the glass formation.

Through testing the amount of the free lime and the Loss ignition, the clinker formation rate, the reaction-rate constant (K) and the activation energy (Ea) were calculated according to the Gentling equation and Arrhenius equation. The effects of CaF2on the formation kinetics of Portland cement clinker were investigated by analyzing theKandEa. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron Microscope (SEM) were used to characterize the phase composition and the morphology of the resulting samples. The results show that the silicate minerals formation is promoted when a proper amount of CaF2is doped into the raw meal. TheKincreased from 0.7450 ×10-5s-1to 7.1588 ×10-5s-1and theEadecreased from 386 kJ/mol to 122 kJ/mol when the amount of CaF2increased from 0.0% to 2.0% in mass. However, the results were reversed at the amount of CaF2exceeding 2%.

The YBa2Cu3O7−x formation kinetics from a spray-roasted precursor powder containing Y2O3, BaCO3, and CuO was followed via in situ, time-resolved x-ray diffraction as a function of gas atmosphere and temperature. In inert atmospheres, BaCO3 and CuO form BaCu2O2 which subsequently reacts with Y2O3 to form YBa2Cu3O6. However, YBa2Cu3O6 decomposes at temperatures exceeding 725 °C with Y2BaCuO5 being one of the decomposition products. In oxidizing atmospheres, YBa2Cu3O7−x formation involves the BaCuO2. At high temperatures (800–840 °C), oxygen increases the yield of YBa2Cu3O6. A nuclei growth model assuming two-dimensional, diffusion-controlled growth with second-order nucleation rate fits the experimental data.

ABSTRACTPt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates seeded by SBT nanoparticles (∼60–80 nm) were used to enhance the phase formation kinetics of Sr0.7Bi2.4Ta2O9 (SBT) thin films. The volume fractions of Aurivillius phase formation obtained through quantitative x-ray diffraction (Q-XRD) analyses showed highly enhanced kinetics in seeded SBT thin films. The Avrami exponents were determined as ∼1.4 and ∼0.9 for unseeded and seeded SBT films, respectively, which reveals different nucleation modes. By using Arrhenius–type plots the activation energy values for the phase transformation of unseeded and seeded SBT thin films were determined to be ∼264 and ∼168 kJ/mol, respectively. This gives a key reason to the enhanced kinetics in seeded films. Microstructural analyses on unseeded SBT thin films showed formation of randomly oriented needle-like crystals, while those on seeded ones showed formation of domains comprised of directionally grown worm-like crystals.

Faujasite was hydrothermally synthesized from fly ash at 100oC in alkaline solution by reflux with 5M HCl and fusion with NaOH (weight ratio of NaOH/fly ash = 1.2) pretreatments. Kinetics of faujasite formation was performed by variation of hydrothermal time (0-120 hours). Thermal stability of faujasite from fly ash was tested at 400-900oC and was compared with commercial zeolite Y. The solid products were characterized by X-ray diffraction method. Results showed that faujasite was formed through dissolution of fly ash components such as quartz, mullite and amorphous aluminosilicates (0-3 hours) followed by crystallization to form faujasite (6-48 hours). In longer hydrothermal time (48-72 hours), faujasite transformed into zeolite P and completely formed hydroxysodalite after 120 hours. X-ray diffraction pattern showed that thermal stability of faujasite from fly ash was relatively lower than that of commercial zeolite Y. Faujasite from fly ash transformed into amorphous phase at 800oC whereas commercial zeolite Y transformed into amorphous phase at 900oC.

ABSTRACTAmorphous Si/Ti multilayers transform at high temperatures (above 700°C) to TiSi2-C54. This phase is important for microelectronics applications because of its low resistivity, stability up to 900°C, and compatibility with silicon processing. However, an unfavorable metastable TiSi2-C49 phase is usually formed at lower temperatures. Thus, an understanding of the C49 phase formation kinetics is useful to the device processing strategy. The kinetics of the transformation of TiSi2-C49 phase can be characterized as a process of nucleation and growth, using the well known Johnson Mehl Avrami (JMA) equation. In the present work the formation kinetics of the C49 phase has been studied by an in situ x-ray diffraction technique. Isothermal annealing in vacuum was done at four temperatures, in the range of 275"C to 310°C. A position sensitive detector (PSD) was used to simultaneously collect the diffracted beams of (131) and (150) peaks of the C49 phase. From the data, the Avrami exponent, n, was determined to be 2.0±0.1. The reaction rate constant k follows a familiar Arrhenius-type equation with a measured activation energy of 2.5eV. Comparison of our x-ray results with kinetic data obtained by other means will be discussed.

ABSTRACTThe kinetics of amorphous phase formation in polycrystalline A1–xBx (A=Zr, Hf, B=Pd, Rh,.15<x<.25) alloys during reaction with hydrogen has been studied by x-ray diffraction, +19F nuclear reaction depth profiling, TEM and electron diffraction. The formation of the amorphous hydride phase is observed by TEM to begin at grain bounderies of the polycrystalline Zr1–xRhx much in the same manner that “melting” nucleates at grain boundaries. TEM micrographs further show that the phase boundary between the crystalline and amorphous phases remains sharp during the growth of the amorphous phase. Both x-ray diffraction and nuclear depth profiling studies suggest that the overall rate of transformation to the amorphous hydride phase is limited by the rate of hydrogen permeation through the sample surface.Based on the present experiments and an analysis of the relevant free energy curves, we discuss the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of this effect to explain why an amorphous phase is formed.

Phase transformations of Al2O3 and Na2O · 6Al2O3 prepared by the gel route have been investigated for the first time by 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy in combination with x-ray diffraction. Of particular interest in the study is the kinetics of the γ → α and γ → β transformations, respectively, in these two systems. Analysis of the kinetic data shows the important role of nucleation in both these transformations.

Molybdenum oxide catalyst doped or mixed with (1 - 50) mole % Fe3+ ions were prepared. The structure of the original samples and the samples calcined at 400 °C were characterized using DTA, X-ray diffraction and IR spectra. Measurements of the electrical conductivity of calcined samples with and without isopropyl alcohol revealed that the conductance increases on increasing the content of Fe3+ ions up to 50 mole %. The activation energies of charge carriers were determined in presence and absence of the alcohol. The catalytic dehydration of isopropyl alcohol was carried out at 250 °C using a flow system. The results obtained showed that the doped or mixed catalysts are active and selective towards propene formation. However, the catalyst containing 40 mole % Fe3+ ions exhibited the highest activity and selectivity. Correlations were attempted to the catalyst composition with their electronic and catalytic properties. Probable mechanism for the dehydration process is proposed in terms of surface active sites.

AbstractHigh-temperature X-ray diffraction techniques were employed to study the condensation reactions which occur when sodium orthophosphates are heated to 380°C. Crystalline Na4P2O7 and an amorphous phase were formed first from an equimolar mixture of Na2HPO4·NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 at temperatures above 150°C. Further heating resulted in the formation of Na5P3O10-I (high-temperature form) at the expense of the crystalline Na4P4O7 and amorphous phase. Crystalline Na5P3O10-II (low-temperature form) appears after Na5P3O10-I.Conditions which affect the yield of crystalline Na4P2O7 and amorphous phase as intermediates and their effect on the yield of Na5P3O10 are also presented.
