A total of 77 pottery shards originating from the Middle Jomon period (2500–1500 BC) were excavated from the Hinoki site in Tochigi, Japan. Fifty-five of those were Atamadai type pottery, which might contain some temper fragments from the manufacturing process. The pottery shards were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The mineral analyses were compared with the river sands around Mt. Tsukuba to demonstrate the temper's origin of the Atamadai type pottery. Their XRD profiles revealed the following solid solutions which could be fingerprint minerals: biotite for the temper and plagioclase, and hornblende for the clay and temper. These minerals might indicate the origin of each sample because their d-spacings depended on the solid solution composition reflecting their geological characteristics.

AbstractEr_2Ge_2O_7–Er_2Sn_2O_7 solid solutions have been obtained using solid-state synthesis by burning the stoichiometric mixtures of the initial oxides in air in the temperature range of 1273–1473 K. The effects of temperature and solid solution composition on the specific heat have been examined by differential scanning calorimetry. The Er_2Ge_2O_7 thermodynamic functions have been calculated.

We propose the use of solid-solutions for the modulation of the kinetic in [2+2] photocycloaddition. Solid-solutions with general formula [1H]BrxCl1-x (1 = 4-amino-cinnamic acid; 0 < x < 1) were...

CeO2-based solid solutions in which Pd partially substitutes for Ce attract considerable attention, owing to their high catalytic performances. In this study, the solid solution (Ce1−xPdxO2−δ) with a high Pd content (x ~ 0.2) was synthesized through co-precipitation under oxidative conditions using molten nitrate, and its structure and thermal decomposition were examined. The characteristics of the solid solution, such as the change in a lattice constant, inhibition of sintering, and ionic states, were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM−EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)−EDS, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The synthesis method proposed in this study appears suitable for the easy preparation of CeO2 solid solutions with a high Pd content.

Optical, electron microprobe, and x-ray diffraction analysis of 88 samples of various compositions between Ag2S and Ag2Se synthesized at high temperature in sealed quartz tubing indicates the presence of two solid-solution series in this system at ambient (room) conditions. One series extends from Ag2S to approximately Ag2S0.4Se0.7 and has the Ag2S-III-type structure (monoclinic). The second series ranges from Ag2S0.3Se0.7 to Ag2Se and is characterized by the Ag2Se-II-type structure (orthorhombic). Members of both series, in appropriate proportions, characterize the apparent compositional gap between the two solid solutions. Gradual shifts in the locations of the x-ray diffraction peaks along the compositional gradient of each solid solution revealed an expansion of the d-spacing as the larger Se ion was substituted for S in the Ag2S-III-type structure and a contraction as S was substituted for Se in the Ag2Se-II-type structure. The reported discrete phase, Ag4SSe (aguilarite, orthorhombic), appears to be simply a member of the monoclinic Ag2S-III-type solid solution.

Phase relations in two binary systems MgAl2O4–ZnAl2O4 and MgAl2O4–Mg2TiO4 have been studied and phase diagrams for them have been constructed. Based on the data of x-ray phase and crystal-optical analyses, the formation of a continuous series of solid solutions with spinel structure between the terminal members of the systems studied has been established. In the MgAl2O4–ZnAl2O4 system the solid solution is stable in the range from room temperature to melting temperature. In the MgAl2O4–Mg2TiO4 system the solid solution decomposes below 1380 °C, yielding the formation of limited regions of homogeneity on the basis of MgAlM2O4 and Mg2+2δ Ti1–δO4. Decomposition of the solid solution is accompanied by crystallization of MgTiO3.

Powder X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the solid solution range of the Bi14SrxCa12−xO33 series in the Bi–Sr–Ca–O system. Solid solution forms over the range 1≤x≤7 in Bi14SrxCa12−xO33. Experimental X-ray reference patterns of selected members with x=1, 3, 5, and 7 have been prepared for the powder diffraction file (PDF). These phases are monoclinic, C2/m, with cell parameter a ranging from 21.473(4) to 21.868(4) Å, b from 4.3564(9) to 4.3898(9) Å, c from 12.753(2) to 12.962(2) Å, β from 102.91(2)° to 102.79(1)°, and V from 1162.9(3) to 1213.5(3) Å3, respectively. These parameters increase monotonically as Ca is continuously replaced by the larger Sr.

С использованием формиатогликолятных комплексов ZnCu(HCOO)(OCHCHO) (0 ≤ х ≤ 0,15) получены твердые растворы ZnCuO с 1D и композиты ZnCuO / CuO со сферической морфологией агрегатов соответственно. Материалы апробированы в реакции фотоокисления As(III) при воздействии ультрафиолетового и видимого излучения. Установлено, что медь является эффективной допирующей примесью в составе твердого раствора ZnCuO (0 ≤ х ≤ 0,1). Присутствие ее в оболочке композита ZnCuO / CuO негативно влияет на фотоактивность материала вплоть до подавления фотокатализа в видимом световом диапазоне. Показана также сорбционная эффективность материалов к мышьяку независимо от состава и морфологии материала. Согласно данным рентгеновской фотоэлектронной спектроскопии на поверхности образцов после сорбции мышьяк находится преимущественно в виде As(III) . 1D solid solutions ZnCuO and composites ZnCuO / CuO with spherical morphology of aggregates from formate glycolate complexes ZnCuO (HCOO)(OCHCHO) (0 ≤ x ≤ 0,15) were obtained. All materials have been tested in the reaction of As(III) photooxidation upon exposure to ultraviolet and visible radiation. It was found that copper is an effective doping impurity in the composition of the solid solution ZnCuO (0 ≤ x ≤ 0,1). Its presence in the shell of the ZnCuO / CuO composite negatively affects the photoactivity of the material up to suppression of photocatalysis in the visible light range. The sorption efficiency of materials for arsenic is also shown, regardless of the composition and morphology of the material. According to x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data, the surface of the samples after sorption contains arsenic mainly in the form of As(III).

GaAs-based heterostructures grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy on virtual Ge/Si substrates using an AlxGa1-xAs seed layer with different aluminum content x in the solid solution are investigated. The effect of solid solution composition on the density and size of antiphase domains emerging on the sample surface and on the optical properties of the GaAs layer is shown. Si(100) substrates with a small unintentional miscut of 0.7° to [110] were used for growth.

We investigated MOCVD epitaxial heterostructures based on AlxGa1−xAs ternary solid solutions, obtained in the range of compositions x~0.20–0.50 and doped with high concentrations of phosphorus and silicon atoms. Using the methods of high-resolution X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy we have shown that grown epitaxial films represent five-component (AlxGa1−xAs1−yPy)1−zSiz solid solutions. The implementation of silicon in solid solution with a concentration of ~ 0.01 at.% leads to the formation of the structure with deep levels, DX centers, the occurrence of which fundamentally affects the energy characteristics of received materials.
