Lattice parameters, coefficients of thermal expansion and mass density were determined by means of X-ray powder diffraction between 30 and 180?C (or 240?C - depending on samples' composition). Rietveld refinement was performed in order to obtain phases' lattice parameters at each temperature. The Panalytical X' Pert Pro MPD was used for room temperature X-ray diffraction experiments (RTXRD) with bulk samples. The aim was to identify the phases that were present in the sample, as well as, their lattice parameters. For some samples, powder high temperature X-ray diffraction measurements (HT-XRD) were also performed, under a vacuum of 10-5 mbar or an argon atmosphere. It was found that the lattice parameters of (Bi), (Sn) and (Zn) don't change with the composition, at room temperature, as expected since all samples belong to the three phase region. It was also concluded that (Bi) behaves like an isometric crystalline solid on the contrary of (Zn) that has different expansion coefficients for different crystallographic directions a (= b) and c.

AbstractThe structure of hibonite from Myanmar (space group P63/mmc, Z = 2, at room temperature a = 5.5909(1), c = 21.9893(4) Å), with simplified formula CaAl12O19 and composition (Ca0.99Na0.01)Σ1.00 was investigated between temperatures of 100 K and 923 K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Structure refinements have been performed at 100, 296, 473 and 923 K. In hibonite from Myanmar, Ti substitutes for Al mainly at the octahedral Al4 site and, to a lesser degree, at the trigonal bipyramidal site, Al2. The Al4 octahedra build face-sharing dimers. If Ti4+ substitutes at Al4, adjacent cations repulse each other for electrostatic reasons, leading to off-centre cation displacement associated with significant bond-length distortion compared to synthetic (Ti-free) CaAl12O19. Most Mg and smaller proportions of Zn and Si are assigned to the tetrahedral Al3 site. 12-coordinated Ca in hibonite replaces oxygen in a closest-packed layer. However, Ca is actually too small for this site and engages in a ‘rattling-type’ motion with increasing temperature. For this reason, Ca does not significantly increase thermal expansion coefficients of hibonite. The expansion of natural Ti,Mg-rich hibonite between 296 and 923 K along the x and the z axes is αa = 7.64×10–6 K–1 and αc = 11.19×10–6 K–1, respectively, and is thus very similar to isotypic, synthetic CaAl12O19 and LaMgAl11O19 (LMA).

Abstract Diffraction studies on natural 1,2-dipalmitin and on analogs, including those based on the configurational isomers of cyclopentane-1,2,3-triol reveal that the 1,2-diglycerides crystallize from solvent with chain methylene packing identical to the monoclinic form of even-chain alkanes. The chains probably are folded back in “hairpin” fashion as found in phospholipid crystal structures. Acyl shifts are observed to occur in the crystalline solid state at room temperature to give the 1,3-diglyceride. Analogs based on the above-mentioned cyclitols show that isomers with adjacent chains trans to the ring (possibly extended chain packing) or with chains cis to the ring (“hair­ pin”) crystallize readily. Both possibly extended chain configurational isomers have the α-form as well as β′-forms and a β-polymorph. The hairpin isomers each give a β′-polymorph but only the all-cts isomer gives an α-form.

Phase transformation of the Zr-1.0Sn-0.39Nb-0.31Fe-0.05Cr alloy was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results revealed that the alloy contained two precipitates at room temperature, namely β-Nb and hexagonal Zr(Nb,Fe,Cr,)2. β-Nb was suggested to dissolve into the α-Zr matrix at the 580oC. Thin oxide film formed at the alloy’s surface was identified as mixture of the monoclinic Zr0.93O2and tetragonal ZrO2, when the temperature reached to 750oC and 850 oC. The thermal expansion coefficients of αZr in this alloy was of αa = 8.39×10-6/°C, αc = 2.48×10-6/°C.

ABSTRACTEpitaxial solid solutions Au1-x Nix (100) have been obtained at room temperature on Au(100) substrates by the MBE technique. The layers are 10 nm-thick and the composition x has been varied up to 0.37. A large strain (2–3%) has been measured by X-ray diffraction. The lattice parameters have been measured in two perpendicular directions, perpendicular and parallel to the surface. In the latest case, the grazing-incidence technique has been used. Because this technique is very sensitive to the surface, the strain results may be re-interpreted if, the upperlOO nm are enriched in Au.

AbstractA billet is a bar made from crude steel which surface contains scales which are rich in iron oxides. This study presents the carbothermal reduction of the scales formed in steel billets. The process included the reaction of the iron oxides contents with carbon (in ratio 5:1) and annealing in a tubular furnace under argon atmosphere. The occurred reactions are discussed using thermodynamic calculations and thermal analysis which indicate a three-stage reduction process Fe3O4 ➔ FeO ➔ Fe3C ➔α-Fe with intermediate reactions at the interval temperature 960 and 1300 °C. The X-ray diffraction confirms the reduction to α-Fe with minor presence of unreacted C, magnetite and wustite. Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis was performed at room temperature where a typical sextet corresponding to the dominant α-Fe is shown as well as wustite, magnetite and cementite to a lesser extent. The magnetization measurements confirm the ferromagnetic state corresponding to the α-Fe.

The structural behavior of the antifluorite Na2S, disodium sulfide, has been studied under pressure up to 22 GPa by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments in a diamond anvil cell at room temperature. At approximately 7 GPa, Na2S undergoes a first phase transition to the orthorhombic anticotunnite (PbCl2) structure (Pnma, Z = 4). The lattice parameters at 8.2 GPa are a = 6.707 (5), b = 4.120 (3), c = 8.025 (4) Å. At approximately 16 GPa, Na2S undergoes a second transition adopting the structure of the Ni2In-type (P63/mmc, Z = 2). The lattice parameters at 16.6 GPa are a = 4.376 (18), c = 5.856 (9) Å. Both pressure-induced phases have been confirmed by full Rietveld refinements. An inspection of the cation array of Na2SO4 reveals that its Na2S subarray is also of the Ni2In-type. This feature represents a new example of how the cation arrangements in ternary oxides correspond to the topology of the respective binary compounds. We discuss analogies between the insertion of oxygen and the application of pressure.

AgPb18SbTe20 nano-powders have been synthesized by a hydrothermal synthesis method at 180 °C for 20 h, using AgNO3, Pb(NO3)2, Sb(NO3)3, Na2TeO3 as starting materials and KBH4 as a reductant. AgPb18SbTe20 bulk thermoelectric materials were obtained by pressureless sintering at 450 °C or 520 °C under argon atmosphere, after uniaxial pressing the as-synthesized powders into pellets. The phase composition and thermal effects of as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and DSC-TG analyses, respectively. Electrical properties of the as-prepared bulk materials were measured from room temperature to about 700 K, and the maximum power factor of 85 μW/mK2 was achieved at 600 K for the sample sintered at 723 K for 3 h.

Single crystals of Cu[Formula: see text]Te, Cu[Formula: see text]Zn[Formula: see text]Te and Cu[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]Te compounds were synthesized by Brijmen method and their crystal structure was studied by X-ray diffraction. The hexagonal, orthorhombic aand cubic structure phases of these compounds have been determined at room-temperature. Phase transitions at high-temperatures were observed. Lattice parameters for hexagonal, orthorhombic and cubic phases have been determined in the temperature range of [Formula: see text]–1073 K. From the temperature dependences of the lattice parameters, the coefficients of thermal expansion of the existing modifications in the main crystallographic directions were calculated.
