Nanocrystalline Al2O3 powder has been successfully synthesized by a simple and fast sol-gel auto-combustion method. The transformation of crystalline phases of as-synthesized nano powders was investigated through X-ray diffraction in terms of their crystallinity and crystallite size. Subsequently, a detailed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation, including specific area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis revealed the crystallographic alterations and morphological information even at lattice scale which co-include the XRD analysis. The results obtained allow to explain the evolution of an amorphous state into different crystalline phases with increased calcining temperature; and their relation to particle size. The particle size is found to be closely related to phase transition of Al2O3 from γ → δ → θ → κ →α. The existence of distinctive bonds and band energy were studied by employing Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-visible spectroscopy, respectively. On the other hand, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) had also been performed to confirm the phase purity of nano powder.

Heat-resistant Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si aluminum alloys were prepared by spray forming technique. The phase transition of deposited alloys from room temperature to 500°C was measured by Differential Scanning Calorimeter. The organization and the second phases of the alloys were observed and studied by transmission electron microscopy. The research results show that No endothermic peak appears in the deposited alloys during heating process, there is no phase transition occur in the alloy during the heating process from room temperature to 500°C. The deposited alloys mainly include α-Al and α-Al12(Fe,V)3Si phase. Under the transmission electron microscopy, there are also a small amount of slug, fan-shaped, needle-like, block, strip second phases, these phases are Al12Fe3Si, Al8Fe2Si, θ-Al13Fe4, Al9FeSi3, Al6Fe.

2D Correlation Spectroscopy

Infrared (IR) spectra of FLC-154 (FLC: ferroelectric liquid crystal) with monotropic phase transition under a nonalignment state with a sample layer thickness of 24.5 μm were measured for heating process from 55 to 90 °C and a cooling process from 90 to 55 °C in increments of 1 °C. The thermal dynamics of FLC-154 were investigated by use of IR spectroscopy combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and sample–sample two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectroscopy. During the cooling, the FLC-154 molecule passes through the monotropic smectic- C* (Sm- C*) phase, which is transformed from the Sm- A phase. The results from PCA suggest that during the heating process, the thermal dynamics of the alkyl chains, core moiety, and C=O groups are similar to each other. Furthermore, PCA and sample–sample 2D correlation spectroscopy indicate that the alkyl chains and C=O groups in the chiral and core moieties are responsible for the emergence of the Sm- C* phase. This conclusion is very important because the IR data have given more evident cause for the emergence of the Sm- C* phase than the theoretical models such as the molecular-statistical theory of ferroelectric ordering and the indigenous polarization theory. Moreover, it has been found that some of the trans conformations of the alkyl chains of FLC-154 change partly to the gauche conformation when the phase transition from the crystalline phase to the Sm- A phase occurs. It has also been found that the intermolecular interactions of the C=O group in the core moiety in the Sm- A phase are weaker than those in the crystalline phase and that the conformational change occurs on the C–O–C bonds in the core moiety upon going from the crystalline to the Sm- A phase.

The phase transformation and dilatometric curves in Fe microalloyed Ti6Al4V alloy (Ti6Al4V-Fe) during continuous heating at 1 ℃ /min heating rate had been studied by dilatometer and metallographic methods, and β phase transition temperatures of alloy were obtained. In order to validate the accuracy of these β phase transition temperature and microstructure evolution, the relative phase concentration and the evolution of microstructure which were acquired by cooling after tempering were analyzed by metallographic microscope. The results illuminated that the expansion method was able to accurately measure the β transformation temperature of Ti6Al4V-Fe alloy. The lathy-shaped α phase decreased significantly disappeared in the range of 838℃ to 988℃, and the α→β phase transformation occurred.

Simultaneous Measurements

Simultaneous measurements of wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were carried out to investigate the phase transition and melting behaviors of poly(butylene adipate) (PBA). Thermal expansion changes along the a and b axes of the β form unit cell are different from each other during the heating process. At the beginning of the β to αH (high-temperature α phase) phase transition, the β phase melts very fast, while the recrystallization of the αH phase is delayed and slowed. With the further increment of the temperature, the melting rate of the β phase slows down, while the recrystallization of the αH phase accelerates. The diffraction peak intensity ratios of the β(020):β(110) and αH(020):αH(110) diffraction peaks during the first heating process have similar value. However, the above value is different from the value of α(020):α(110) during the following melt-crystallization process. This difference comes from the different orientations of the crystal lattices of the α and αH(β) crystals to the substrate plane, which indicates that the αH phase inherits the orientation of the β phase during phase transition and the orientation of αH form crystals is different from the α form crystals that crystallized from the melt.
