Nitrogen-expanded austenite, γN, with high and low nitrogen contents was produced from AISI 316 grade stainless steel powder by gaseous nitriding in ammonia/hydrogen gas mixtures.In situsynchrotron X-ray diffraction was applied to investigate the thermal expansion and thermal stability of expanded austenite in the temperature range 385–920 K. Evaluation of the diffractograms of the sample with a high nitrogen content, corresponding to an occupancy of the interstitial lattice of 56%, with Rietveld refinement yielded a best convergence after including the stacking fault probability as a fitting parameter. The stacking fault density is constant for temperatures up to 680 K, whereafter it decreases to nil. Surprisingly, a transition phase with compositionM4N (M= Fe, Cr, Ni, Mo) appears for temperatures above 770 K. The linear coefficient of thermal expansion depends on the nitrogen content and is lowest for the sample with a high level of nitrogen.

ABSTRACTNew liquid crystalline thermosets have been prepared from end-functional monomers and oligomers of varying molecular weight. Both triazine and epoxy networks were explored. Of primary interest was the exploitation of the mesophase properties of these networks for developing polymers with high thermal stability and low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). Curing was carried out either within the nematic mesophase or the isotropic phase of the prepolymers. Transition temperatures associated with the mesophase were observed to change after curing under these two sets of conditions. The networks with the highest crosslink density were found to exhibit the lowest CTE values. Crosslinking of these thermosets was also carried out in the presence of a 13.5 Tesla magnetic field to determine the effect of orienting fields on the curing of the LC network. Orientation parameters as measured by wide angle x-ray diffraction were as high as 0.6. Values of the coefficient of thermal expansion as low as 15 ppm were achieved in the aligned direction. Of the two resin types, those with the triazine crosslinks had the lowest thermal expansion coefficient. Other thermal properties of these networks will be discussed.

The values of the lattice period and the linear coefficient of thermal expansion (alfa) of Pb1-xCdxTe solid solutions are determined depending on the cadmium content and temperature using high-temperature X-ray diffractometry. Аn increase in the concentration of cadmium in Pb1-xCdxTe in the range x = 0.02–0.08 leads to a significant increase in the linear coefficient of thermal expansion. A change in temperature range T = 293–673 K leads to decrease in the linear coefficient of thermal expansion. Besides, an increase in temperature does not affect the value alfa of the undoped PbTe in the indicated temperature range.

AbstractThe linear coefficient of thermal expansion for three silicon single-crystal samples, taken from the head, middle, and tail of the same boule, and their powder samples have been measured at room temperature by using an X-ray powder diffractometer. All samples yield the same expansion value α=2.45 (± 0.04) × 10−6 °C at 25 °C. The results of this experiment show that the linear coefficient of thermal expansion of silicon at room temperature is not dependent on its single-crystal state or its powder state.

The ternary compound DyCo0.67Ga1.33 was synthesized and the thermal expansion of DyCo0.67Ga1.33 was studied in the temperature range of 309–608 K by high temperature powder X-ray diffraction technique. The volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion, , can be represented by . Its magnetic properties were measured between 30 and 300 K, and the magnetic susceptibility of DyCo0.67Ga1.33 was found to follow the Curie–Weiss law in the temperature range of 40–300 K. The effective magnetic moment and paramagnetic Curie temperature were estimated to be 9.86 μB and 40.4 K, respectively. Electrical resistivity of the compound DyCo0.67Ga1.33 was also measured between 5 and 300 K. Temperature variation of the electrical resistivity suggests the metallic character of the compound DyCo0.67Ga1.33 with an anomaly detected at 45 K. The residual resistivity ratio RRR of the compound is about 1.2.

ABSTRACTTitanium nitride crystals were grown from titanium nitride powder on tungsten by the sublimation-recondensation technique. The bright golden TiN crystals displayed a variety of shapes including cubes, truncated tetrahedrons, truncated octahedrons, and tetrahedrons bounded by (111) and (100) crystal planes. The TiN crystals formed regular, repeated patterns within individual W grains that suggested epitaxy. X-ray diffraction and electron backscattering diffraction revealed that the tungsten foil was highly textured with a preferred foil normal of (100) and confirmed that the TiN particles deposited epitaxially with the orientation TiN(100)‖W(100) and TiN[100]‖W[110], that is, the unit cells of the TiN crystals were rotated 45° with respect to the tungsten. Because of its larger coefficient of thermal expansion compared to W, upon cooling from the growth temperature, the TiN crystals were under in-plane tensile strain, causing many of the TiN crystals to crack.

The coefficient of thermal expansion analysis suite (CTEAS) has been developed to calculate and visualize thermal expansion properties of crystalline materials in three dimensions. The software can be used to determine the independent terms of the second-rank thermal expansion tensor usinghklvalues, correspondingdhkllistings and lattice constants obtained from powder X-ray diffraction patterns collected at different temperatures. UsingCTEAS, a researcher can also visualize the anisotropy of this essential material property in three dimensions. In-depth understanding of the thermal expansion of crystalline materials can be a useful tool in understanding the dependence of the thermal properties of materials on temperature when correlated with the crystal structure.

The results show that Ca1-xSrxZr4(PO4)6 ceramics sintered at 1400°C had good sintering condition. Unit cell volume basically had no change with substitution of Ca by Sr. The coprecipitation method saved energy and time. It was introduced to increase the relative density of Ca0.5Sr0.5Zr4(PO4)6 ceramic. The coefficient of thermal expansion was about 1.447×10-6/°C.

Strontium hexaferrite is a well-known material, due to its application in microelectronics. This paper is devoted to strontium hexaferrite single crystals, obtained by the spontaneous crystallization technique with sodium based flux. SrFe12O19 crystals were grounded, pressed to the tablets, and crystals cell parameters were measured by thermal X-ray diffraction technique. Coefficient of thermal expansion calculated from the X-ray thermal diffraction data is in a good agreement with dilatometric measurements.
