Powder diffraction data for semiconductor and metallic states of vanadium dioxide are presented. The structures are refined by Rietveld methods using a monoclinic cell (a = 5.7529Å, b = 4.5263Å, c = 5.3825Å, β = 122.61°) and space group P21/c for the room temperature data, and a tetragonal cell (a =4.5540Å, c = 2.8557Å) and space group P42/mnm for data collected at 400 K. The similarity between the corresponding X-ray diffraction patterns is discussed. The transition process from the monoclinic to tetragonal phase is investigated and initial evidence for the coexistence of phases over a small temperature range is presented.

The crystal structure of zirconium trichloride was determined from X-ray diffraction patterns. Zirconium trichloride belongs to the [Formula: see text]space group. The dimensions of the main cell at room temperature are: a = 5.961 ± 0.005 Å and c = 9.669 ± 0.005 Å.The density of zirconium trichloride was measured and gave the value of 2.281 ± 0.075 g/cm3 while, from the X-ray calculations, the value was found to be 2.205 g/cm3.

AbstractNelenite, (Mn,Fe)16si12O30(OH)14[O6 (OH)3], is a polymorph of schallerite and a member of the friedelite group. X-ray diffraction patterns can be indexed on a supercell with a = 13.418(5) and c = 85.48(8)A, space group Rm, but by analogy with TEM results on mcGillite and friedelite, the structure is based on a one-layer monoclinic cell with a = 23.240, b = 13.418, c = 7.382 Å, β = 105.21°, and space group C2/m. Chemical analysis yields SiO2 31.12, FeO 17.12, MgO 0.12, ZnO 3.63, MnO 29.22, As2O3 12.46, H2O 6.42, sum = 100.09%. Analysis of a number of samples indicates that Fe substitutes for Mn up to 5.8 of the 16 octahedrally coordinated cations, but that the Si: As ratio is constant. The strongest lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern (d, I/Io) are: 2.552,100; 2.878,70; 1.677,60; 3.55,60; 1.723,50.Nelenite is brown in colour with a vitreous luster and perfect {0001} cleavage, which easily distinguishes it from schallerite. The Mohs' hardness is approximately 5. The density is 3.45 g/cm3 (calc.) and 3.46 g/cm3 (obs.). Nelenite is uniaxial negative with ɛ = 1.700 and ω = 1.718 (both ± 0.004). Nelenite was formerly known as ferroschallerite, which is a misnomer. It was found in the Franklin Mine, Franklin, Sussex County, New Jersey, in the 1920s. It occurs in several parageneses, associated with actinolite, tirodite, albite, garnet, feldspars, and several members of the stilpnomelane group in coarse-grained assemblages with pegmatitic texture and a breccia likely derived from this rock. Nelenite is named in honour of Joseph A. Nelen, chemist at the Smithsonian Institution.

The X-ray diffraction patterns of two organic acids 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid dihydrate and 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid hydrate were measured at room temperature. Complexes of these acids with 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN) were synthesized, purified and investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction. 1-Naphthalenesulfonic acid dihydrate as well as its complex with 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene crystallize in the monoclinic system with unit cell parameters refined to a=0.91531(8) nm, b=0.7919(1) nm, c=0.8184(1) nm, β=101.618(9)° space group P21/m (11) and a=1.7781(4) nm, b=2.0122(4) nm, c=1.2337(2) nm, β=96.54(3)°, space group C2/m (12), respectively. 2-Naphthalenesulfonic acid hydrate crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with a=2.2749(3) nm, b=0.7745(1) nm, c=0.591 36(9) nm, space group Pnma, whereas its complex with 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene crystallizes in the triclinic system a=1.3969(6) nm, b=1.4292(5) nm, c=1.1741(6) nm, α=90.93(3)°, β=98.14(3)°, γ=113.93(3)°, space group P-1 (2).

The aims of this research were study the microstructures and mechanical properties for partial replacement of cement with Fly ash (FA) and kaolin waste (KW). Ordinary Portland cement were partially replaced with FA and KW in the range of 25-35% and 10-25% by weight of cement powder. The kaolin waste was ground for 180 minutes before using. The specimen was packing into an iron mold which sample size of 5×5×5 cm3. Then, the specimens were kept at room temperature for 24 hours and were moist cured in the incubation lime water bath at age of 3 days. After that the specimens were dry cured with plastic wrap at age of 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. After that the compounds were examined by x-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and the microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compressive strength was then investigated.

Powder Cd of 99.999% purity was prepared at room temperature (25 °C) and x-ray diffraction patterns were obtained using CuKaα radiation with Ni-filter. The line broadening was analyzed after incorporating the appropriate correction factors. At room temperature Cd was found to have large particle size (653 A), small root mean square strain (.001), small deformation fault probability a (.003). and negligible growth fault probability β(0). Compared to other hep metals which have been studied earlier and which have higher melting temperatures, metal Cd is much less affected by mechanical deformation at room temperature.

Calculated patterns for the BaR2PdO5 series, in which X is Pd and R=Nd, Sm, Eu, or Gd, have been prepared for materials characterization until experimental patterns can be determined. These compounds are isostructural to the superconductor related “brown phases” BaLa2CuO5 and BaNd2CuO5, which are tetragonal with space group P4/mbm, Z=4. The cell parameters of the Eu and Gd compounds were derived from the La and Nd analogs. The calculated patterns of these four compounds compared well to an experimental pattern of BaNd2CuO5.

The influences of the substitution of Ni with Mg on crystallographic and magnetic properties of the intermetallic alloys LaNi5-xMgx (x ≤ 0.4) were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that all samples were of single phase, and the lattice parameters, a and c, decreased slightly upon chemical doping. LaNi5 is well known as an exchange-enhanced Pauli paramagnet. Interestingly, in LaNi5-xMgx, the ferromagnetic order existed even with a small amount of dopants; the Curie temperature reached the value of room temperature for x = 0.2, and enhanced with increasing x.

The exhaustive hydroboration of the (C ≡ C )-groups in Me2Si(C ≡ CMe)2 (A ) by adding ethyldiboranes(6) at room temperature is presumed to lead initially to the formation of a mixture of the threo- and erythro-3,3,5,6-tetrakis(diethylboryl)-4,4-dimethyl-4-silaheptanes (1a , b). The threo-1a reacts further by borane catalysed intermolecular condensation to the substituted disilatetraboratricyclo[6.2.1.16.9]dodecane 2 with the formula , whose crystal structure [space group C2/c, a = 19.696(2), b = 10.371(1), c = 16.580(2) Å; β = 125.90(1)°; at 122 K] has been established by X -ray diffraction. In contrast, the erythro-1b undergoes intramolecular, thermal elimination of Et3B to give the 1,2-diethyl-2,4-bis(diethylboryl)- 3,3,5-trim ethyl-3-silaborolane (4). If A is added to an excess of undiluted B (“hydridebath”), then the two substituted diastereomers of the 1-carba-arachno-pentaboranes(10) (endo/exo-Et,SiH Me2) (3a, b), are formed preferentially as the result of an initial Si-C ≡-c le a v e d hydroboration.
