Abstract In this paper, we present the palynostratigraphy, petrography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations to evaluate hydrocarbon reservoir potential of the Jurassic clastic-carbonate mixed sequence of the Kala Chitta Range, northwest Pakistan. The chronostratigraphic sub-divisions of the diverse lithologies within the sequence were made by using palynostratigraphy. The clastic dominated sequence of Datta Formation was assigned Toarcian-Bajocian age, while the Shinawari Formation was deposited during the Bajocian-middle Bathonian. The carbonate shoal facies of the Samana Suk Formation showed late Bathonian-Tithonian time of deposition. The primary and secondary porosities augmented by the plug porosity and permeability data suggest that the sandstone of Datta Formation is an excellent reservoir. The dominance of diverse matrix within the Shinawari Formation occluded the primary porosity. However, based on dissolution and dolomitization, the Shinawari Formation is categorized as a moderate reservoir. The dominance of various types of matrix and cement with superimposed burial diagenesis has occluded the primary porosity within the Samana Suk Formation. However, the diagenetic dissolution and dolomitization during the telogenetic stage were supported by the SEM and bulk geochemical data. Such diagenetic overprinting has significantly enhanced the reservoir potential of the unit.

AbstractNew X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy data are given for the incorporation of Np and Pu in zirconolite, at levels of tens of percent. The actinide valences and the cations they replace are deduced from the microanalysis of the zirconolite compositions, and X-ray absorption data are used to obtain more direct information on the valences of Ce and Nd, which are used as simulants of Pu and trivalent actinides respectively. Trivalent rare earths and actinides have extensive solid solubility in zirconolite, mainly but not exclusively in the Ca site. Tetravalent rare earths and actinides have considerable solid solubility in the Zr site of zirconolite, and some solubility in the Ca site, but the strong tendency of zirconolite with ions substituted in the Zr site to undergo phase separation complicates structural interpretation. In zirconolite-rich Synroc-type ceramics designed to immobilise waste actinides, the target actinide waste loading has been set at 20 wt% and early leach results indicate the durability is at least as good as that of Synroc-C.

An alternative synthetic route for obtaining bulk forms of the high temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−x has been investigated. The approach is based on first preparing the phases Y2Cu2O5 and BaCuO2, followed by a single sintering of an appropriate mixture of these intermediate compounds to produce the superconducting phase. The resulting materials are largely single-phase as shown by x-ray diffraction, and have densities as high as 86% of the theoretical value, and superconducting onset temperatures of 93 K with magnetic shielding factors ranging from 0.85 to 1.02 (±0.05). Metallography and scanning electron microscopy data were also obtained on the best (high Tc, high shielding factors) of the samples. This synthesis approach is believed to be simpler, more reproducible, and has the potential of producing better materials than previously used bulk synthesis methods.

The conditions of formation of the ZrO2 and HfO2 high-temperature (tetragonal and cubic) phases in the ablated nanoparticles were investigated. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy data demonstrate that laser intensities above 109 W/m2 ensure the formation of the ZrO2 high-temperature phases, while intensities above 5·109 W/m2 do the formation of the HfO2 high-temperature phases. Quantitative content of the high-temperature phases in layers of the ablated nanoparticles increases with raising the intensity. The obtained nanoparticles exhibit good thermal stability.

In this study, the equations based on x-ray diffraction theory were developed to determine the thickness of multiple layer thin films. The kinematical expression of the integrated reflected intensity from the substrate and films was corrected for the primary and secondary extinction effects assuming a mosaic crystal model. As an example of the application of the method, thicknesses of a double heterostructure system, namely AlAs/AIGaAs/GaAs, were determined. Good agreement was obtained between the results from the x-ray measurement and scanning electron microscopy data demonstrating high precision of this technique.

Using the scanning electron microscopy data the main regularities of the fatigue crack propagation in the 17Mn1Si steel were studied. Based on fracture surface observation and analysis one can testify that the transition of the leading role of deformation and failure from the lower structural level to the higher one has the ordered pattern.
