Silver sulfide, Ag2S, is most commonly known as the tarnish that forms on silver surfaces due to the exposure of silver to hydrogen sulfide. The mineral acanthite is a monoclinic crystalline form of Ag2S that is stable to 176°C. Upon heating above 176°C, there is a phase conversion to a body-centered cubic (bcc) form referred to as argentite. Further heating above 586°C results in conversion of the bcc phase to a face-centered cubic (fcc) phase polymorph. Both high-temperature cubic phases are solid-state silver ion conductors. In situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction was used to better understand the polymorphs of Ag2S on heating. The existing powder diffraction file (PDF) entries for the high-temperature fcc polymorph are of questionable reliability, prompting a full Rietveld structure refinement of the bcc and fcc polymorphs. Rietveld analysis was useful to show that the silver atoms are largely disordered and can only be described by unreasonably large isotropic displacement parameters or split site models.

Nine commercial high-Pd alloys were investigated. Microstructure and phase composition were screened by x-ray diffraction, light microscopy, and an electron microprobe. After being etched, some high-Pd alloys revealed dendritic structures. The others showed a more homogeneous structure with distinct grain boundaries. Etching was necessary to reveal distinct structures, though the overall etching effect turned out to be limited. On unetched specimens, only a slight chemical heterogeneity could be determined. Except for one alloy, the systems turned out to have complex multi-phase structures. The main face-centered-cubic (fcc) phase was Pd-based. As secondary phases, body-centered-cubic (bcc) and/or simple cubic ones were detected. The latter phases were similar to a Cu3Ga and PdGa intermetallic compound, respectively. Face-centered-tetragonal (fct) structures reported by other investigators were not found.

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

Effects of stacking faults in a high nitrogen face-centered-cubic phase (γΝ) formed on plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti (18-8 type) austenitic stainless steel on peak shift and peak asymmetry of x-ray diffraction were investigated based on Warren’s theory and Wagner’s method, respectively. The peak shift from peak position of the γΝ phase is ascribed to the deformation faults density α, while the peak asymmetry of the γΝ phase is characterized by deviation of the center of gravity of a peak from the peak maximum (Δ C.G.) due to the twin faults density β. The calculated peak positions of x-ray diffraction patterns are consistent with that measured for plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel.

This article concerns the minimal knotting number for several types of lattices, including the face-centered cubic lattice (fcc), two variations of the body-centered cubic lattice (bcc-14 and bcc-8), and simple-hexagonal lattices (sh). We find, through the use of a computer algorithm, that the minimal knotting number in sh is 20, in fcc is 15, in bcc-14 is 13, and bcc-8 is 18.

Abstract The Poisson ratio υ of a polycrystalline aggregate was calculated for both the face-centered cubic and the body-centered cubic cases. A general two-body central-force interatomatic potential was used. Deviations of υ from 0.25 were verified. A lower value of υ is predicted for the f.c.c. case than for the b.c.c. case. Observed values of υ for twenty-three cubic elements are discussed in terms of the predicted values. Effects of including volume-dependent electron-energy terms in the inter-atomic potential are discussed.

Abstract Using the available analytical methods, including the determination of chemical composition using wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy technique and phase composition determined using X-ray diffraction, microstructural observations in a highresolution scanning microscope equipped with an X-ray microanalysis system as well as determination of characteristic softening and sintering temperatures using high-temperature microscope, the properties of particular chromite sands were defined. For the study has been typed reference sand with chemical properties, physical and thermal, treated as standard, and the sands of the regeneration process and the grinding process. Using these kinds of sand in foundries resulted in the occurrence of the phenomenon of the molding mass sintering. Impurities were identified and causes of sintering of a moulding sand based on chromite sand were characterized. Next, research methods enabling a quick evaluation of chromite sand suitability for use in the preparation of moulding sands were selected.
