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.

Ti0.50Al0.50 and Ti0.75Al0.25 compounds were mechanically alloyed by ball milling of elemental Ti and Al powders. Radioactive 111In atoms incorporated into these compounds were used to investigate the different locally ordered crystalline structures by perturbed γγ-angular correlation spectroscopy (PAC). The formation of the intermetallic compounds γ–TiAl and α2–Ti3Al was observed on an atomic scale and occurred as a consequence of the heat treatment of mechanically alloyed Ti0.50Al0.50 and Ti0.75Al0.25, respectively. Due to the sensitivity of PAC to local order on an atomic scale, information about formation conditions and thermal stability of a new metastable phase with an ordered tetragonal crystal structure is presented for Ti0.50Al0.50 samples. In addition, the formation of the ordered phase Ti2AlN was observed, indicating the incorporation of N during the milling process. The PAC investigations were complemented by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements.

A Raman spectrometer was used to probe the structure and luminescence of a range of europium-doped zirconia phosphors prepared by different routes. We have demonstrated that the synthesis method and precursor type have a strong influence on the structure and luminescence of the final phosphor product. Raman spectroscopy has also demonstrated the presence of local order around the dopant ions that is not apparent in x-ray diffraction (XRD) and corresponds with changes in luminescence. As europium concentration is increased from 1 mol% to 20 mol%, the long range structure (from XRD) changes from tetragonal to cubic. Raman spectroscopy, however, shows that the 1 mol% material has a localized structure similar to the monoclinic undoped zirconia. This localized symmetry can explain the differences observed previously in emission spectra.

Terephthalic acid (TPA, C8H6O4) is an industrially important chemical, one that shows polymorphism and disorder. Three polymorphs are known, two triclinic [(I) and (II)] and one monoclinic (III). Of the two triclinic polymorphs, (II) has been shown to be more stable in ambient conditions. This paper presents models of the local order of polymorphs (I) and (II), and compares the single-crystal diffuse scattering (SCDS) computed from the models with that observed from real crystals. TPA shows relatively weak and less-structured diffuse scattering than some other polymorphic materials, but it does appear that the SCDS is less well modelled by a purely harmonic model in polymorph (I) than in polymorph (II), according to the idea that the diffuse scattering is sensitive to anharmonicity that presages a structural phase transition. The work here verifies that displacive correlations are strong along the molecular chains and weak laterally, and that it is not necessary to allow the —COOH groups to librate to successfully model the diffuse scattering – keeping in mind that the data are from X-ray diffraction and not directly sensitive to H atoms.
