ABSTRACTA simple macroscopic thermodynamic model for first order transitions between two amorphous phases in a one component liquid is reviewed, augmented and evaluated. The model presumes the existence in the liquid of two species, whose concentrations are temperature and pressure dependent and which form a solution with large, positive deviations from ideality. Application of the model to recent data indicates that water can undergo an amorphous/amorphous phase transition below a critical temperature Tc of 217K and above a critical pressure Pc of 380 atm.

ABSTRACTThe recently developed Environment-Dependent Interatomic Potential (EDIP) holds the promise of a new degree of transferability in describing bulk phases and defects of elemental covalent solids with a simple theoretically motivated functional form. Here we explore to what extent the environment-dependence of the model can extrapolate successes of the fitted version for Si for bulk defects to disordered phases, which involve local configurations very different from those used in fitting. We find that EDIP-Si provides an improved description of the metallic bonding bond angles of the liquid and is the first empirical potential to predict a quench directly from the liquid to the amorphous phase. The resulting amorphous structure is in closer agreement with ab initio and experimental results than with any artificial prepration method. We also show that melting of the bulk crystal and premelting of the (100)2×1 surface are reasonably well described by EDIP-Si in spite of its not being fit to any such properties.

Electron microscopy can be used to study structures and phase transitions occurring in graphite intercalations compounds. The fundamental symmetry in graphite intercalation compounds is the staging periodicity whereby each intercalate layer is separated by n graphite layers, n denoting the stage index. The currently accepted model for intercalation proposed by Herold and Daumas assumes that the sample contains equal amounts of intercalant between any two graphite layers and staged regions are confined to domains. Specifically, in a stage 2 compound, the Herold-Daumas domain wall model predicts a pleated lattice plane structure.

Thin GexTe1-x (x = 0.15-0.8) were studied as a model substance of a composite semiconductor film, in addition being of interest for optical storage material. Two complementary modes of time-resolved TEM were used to trace the phase transitions, induced by an attached Q-switched (50 ns FWHM) and frequency doubled (532 nm) Nd:YAG laser. The laser radiation was focused onto the specimen within the TEM to a 20 μm spot (FWHM). Discrete intermediate states were visualized by short-exposure time doubleframe imaging /1,2/. The full history of a transformation was gained by tracking the electron image intensity with photomultiplier and storage oscilloscopes (space/time resolution 100 nm/3 ns) /3/. In order to avoid radiation damage by the probing electron beam to detector and specimen, the beam is pulsed in this continuous mode of time-resolved TEM,too.Short events ( <2 μs) are followed by illuminating with an extended single electron pulse (fig. 1c)
