The paper presents test results concerning characteristics of the selected thermal properties of ceramic powders based on rare earth zirconates with a pyrochlore structure of RE2Zr2O7 type, intended for thermal spraying of TBCs. Gadolinium, lanthanum, samarium and neodymium based powders were tested. The scope of the tests encompassed thermal diffusivity analysis of the powders in a compressed pellets form within temperature range 25-1500°C, and also tests of specific heat and thermal expansion coefficient within similar temperature range. Standard powder of 8YSZ type on the basis of zirconium oxide modified with yttrium oxide was used as a reference material. Specific heat measurements of the powders showed that the highest values within the entire test temperature range were obtained for the standard YSZ type powder. In the case of new type of powders, the results obtained are very similar and only slightly lower in comparison with YSZ powder. The lowest values were obtained for the samarium based powder (temperature range corresponding to operating temperature). Character of the curves obtained do not show course of strong reactions connected with phase changes. Dilatometric tests of materials made it possible to determine thermal expansion coefficient. Mean coefficient values are included within the range from 5.5 x 106mm/°C to 10.0 x 106mm/°C. The highest mean value of thermal expansion coefficient was obtained for Nd2Zr2O7 powder and the lowest one for La2Zr2O7 powder. The lowest thermal diffusivity value at room temperature was shown by Nd2Zr2O7 powder, and the highest one by 8YSZ powder (0.215 mm2/s).

By the moment method established previously on the basis of the statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic properties of a strongly anharmonic face-centered and body-centered cubic crystal with point defect are considered. The thermal expansion coefficient, the specific heat Cv and Cp, the isothermal and adiabatic compressibility, etc. are calculated. Our calculated results of the thermal expansion coefficient, the specific heat Cv and Cp… of W, Nb, Au and Ag metals at various temperatures agrees well with the measured values. The anharmonic effects in extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) in the single-shell model are considered. We have obtained a new formula for anharmonic contribution to the mean square relative displacement. The anharmonicity is proportional to the temperature and enters the phase change of EXAFS. Our calculated results of Debye–Waller factor and phase change in EXAFS of Cu at various temperatures agrees well with the measured values.

According to the theory of phonon transport and thermal expansion, a new complex rare-earth zirconate ceramic (La0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2Zr2O7, with low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion coefficient, has been designed by doping proper ions at A sites. The complex rare-earth zirconate (La0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2Zr2O7 powder for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) was synthesized by coprecipitation-calcination method. The phase, microstructure and thermal properties of the new material were investigated. The results revealed that single phase (La0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2Zr2O7 with pyrochlore structure was synthesized. The thermal conductivity and the thermal expansion coefficient of the designed complex rare-earth zirconate ceramic is about 1.3W/m•K and 10.5×10-6/K, respectively. These results imply that (La0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2Zr2O7 can be explored as the candidate material for the ceramic layer in TBCs system.

The linear thermal expansion coefficient a from 2 to 100 K and heat capacity per gram cp from 0�3 to 30 K are reported for fully-stabilized zirconia containing a nominal 16 wt.% (9 mol.%) of yttria. The heat capacity below 7 K has been analysed into a linear (tunnelling?) term, a Schottky term centred at 1�2 K, a Debye term (e~ = 540 K), and a small T5 contribution. The expansion coefficient is roughly proportional to T from 5 to 20 K and gives a limiting lattice Griineisen parameter 'Yo ::::: 5, which agrees with that calculated from elastic data.

Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) and its varieties have applications in thermographic phosphors, lasing mediums, and thermal barriers. In this work, thermal properties of crystalline YAG where aluminum atoms are substituted with gallium atoms (Y3(Al1−xGax)5O12) are explored with molecular dynamics simulations. For YAG at 300K, the simulations gave values close to experimental values for constant-pressure specific heat, thermal expansion, and bulk thermal conductivity. For various values of x, the simulations predicted no change in thermal expansion, an increase in specific heat, and a decrease in thermal conductivity for x = 50%. Furthermore, the simulations predicted a decrease in thermal conductivity with decreasing system size.

The glass-ceramics of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system were prepared by sintering technology. The crystallization process of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics was investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and other techniques; the discussion of breaking strength, thermal expansion coefficient and relevant properties at different sintering temperatures was also presented. The results show that: (1) The main crystalline phase isα-cordierite at different sintering temperatures, and the samples show high flexural strength and low thermal expansion coefficient; (2) with the increase of sintering temperature, the content of crystal phase increases, while the thermal expansion coefficient decreases evidently, the flexural strength and tightness density rise up first, then go down.

The low-thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of cement paste and concrete are designed and prepared with fly ash in this study. The thermal expansion property and pore structure of cement/concrete are tested by Thermal Dilatometer, MIP, and SEM. The test results show that the addition of fly ash lowers the thermal expansion rate and coefficient of hardened paste. The increase of addition level is accompanied by the decrease of the thermal expansion coefficient. The introduction of fly ash could improve the pore structure of concrete, thus improve the thermal expansion property of cement concrete.
