Perovskite-like oxides AB′1/2 B′′1/2O3 with two different cations in the B-sublattice may experience cation order–disorder phase transitions. In many cases the degree of cation ordering can be varied by suitable synthesis conditions or subsequent sample treatment, which has a fundamental impact on the physical properties of such compounds. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of cation order–disorder phase transition and estimation of the phase transition temperature is of paramount importance for tuning of properties of such double perovskites. In this work, based on the earlier proposed cation–anion elastic bonds model, a theory of order–disorder phase transitions of B-cations in AB′1/2 B′′1/2O3 perovskites is presented, which allows reliable estimation of the phase transition temperatures and of the reduced lattice constants of such double perovskites.

Perovskite-like oxides AB′1/2 B′′1/2O3 may experience different degrees of ordering of the B cations that can be varied by suitable synthesis conditions or post-synthesis treatment. In this work the earlier proposed statistical model of order–disorder phase transitions of B cations is extended to account for the effect of pressure. Depending on the composition, pressure is found to either increase or decrease the order–disorder phase transition temperature. The change in transition temperature due to pressure in many cases reaches several hundred kelvin at pressures accessible in the laboratory, which may significantly change the degree of atomic ordering. The work is intended to help in determining how pressure influences the degree of atomic ordering and to stimulate research into the effect of pressure on atomic order–disorder phase transitions in perovskites.

In this work, the effect of thin films on the thermotropic and thermo-optical properties and peculiarities of the phase transitions between the smectic A and isotropic liquid have been investigated. Peculiarities of the heterophase regions of the straight smectic A-isotropic liquid and reverse isotropic liquid-smectic A phase transitions have been studied. Change of morphologic properties of the heterophase regions, shift of the phase transition temperatures and the change of temperature widths of these heterophase regions under thin film influence have been observed.

Abstract 57 Fe Mössbauer spectra have been measured at various temperatures between 4.2 K and 300 K for iron langbeinites A 2 Fe 2^04)3 with A = K, NH 4 , Rb, T1 and magnesium, manganese and cadmium lang-beinites doped with Fe" + . The spectra revealed several contributions whose isomer shifts and quadru-pole splittings have been obtained by fitting program routines. For the high-temperature cubic phases two crystallographically non-equivalent iron sites have been identified, characteristic of Fe2+ in the high-spin state. Abrupt changes of the quadrupole couplings indicated phase transitions; in some cases, the spectra have also revealed several sites for Fe2+ in low temperature phases. From the temperature dependences, phase transition temperatures, crystal field splittings and Debye temperatures have been derived.

Liquid crystalline norcholesteryl anisic esters were prepared in which the methylgroups 19, 21, 27, and 18 are removed successively from the cholestene skeleton. The influence of the axial methylgroups on the phase transition temperatures and the choleric helical structure has been investigated. On heating the 18.19.21.27-tetranorcholesteryl ester, at 155 °C an inversion of the helical screw sense from left to right was observed

Morphotropic phase boundaries and temperature dependent phase transitions of (1 – x) PbZrO3 + x (Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3 (0.01 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) solid solutions were investigated by x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dielectric property analysis. Two morphotropic phase transitions at room temperature were found at x = 0.1 and 0.13, which were from antiferroelectric orthorhombic (with 4 × 4 × 2 superlattice [orthorhombic (I)]) to antiferroelectric orthorhombic (with 2 × 2 × 2 superlattice [orthorhombic (II)]) and from orthorhombic (II) to ferroelectric rhombohedral, respectively. With increasing temperature, the samples with 0.01 ≤ x < 0.1 showed two phase transitions, i.e., from orthorhombic (I) to orthorhombic (II) and from orthorhombic (II) to cubic. The other samples had only one phase transition with increasing temperature. Phase transition temperatures of all the samples were measured using DSC, and a phase diagram for the solid solutions was constructed. A model illustrating the antiparallel shift of Pb ions in the orthorhombic (II) phase was also proposed.

AbstractThe dynamics of strongly driven phase transitions at surfaces are studied by ultra-fast time-resolved reflection high energy electron diffraction. The surfaces are excited by an intense fs-laser pulse (pump) and probed by an ultra-short electron pulse with variable time delay. The order-disorder phase transition from a c(4×2) to a (2×1) of the bare Si(001) surface shows a transient decrease of the intensity of the c(4×2) spots which recovers on a time scale of a few hundred picoseconds indicating the excitation of the phase transition. On Si(111) a monolayer of Indium induces a (4×1) reconstruction which undergoes a Peierls like phase transition to a (8ד2”) reconstruction below 100 K. Upon laser excitation at a temperature of 40 K the phase transition was strongly driven. The (8ד2”)-diffraction spots instantaneously disappears, while the intensity of the (4×1)-spots increases. This increase of the (4×1) spot intensity excludes an explanation by the Debye-Waller-Effect and is evidence for a true structural phase transition at a surface.

AbstractRare-earth metals (REM) gadolinium and dysprosium, and also the Gd–H and Dy–H systems in which magnetic order–order and order–disorder phase transitions are accompanied by significant magnetocaloric effect, have been studied. The materials have been prepared in various structural states. It is stated that there is a substantial difference of their functional properties in the dependence on the features of the structural state and also on the existence of a gas-forming impurity. It has been proved experimentally and theoretically that the Curie temperatures of Gd samples with grain sizes of ~200 nm increases as a result of hydrogenation, while the magnetic phase transition temperatures of Dy are almost unchanged Inhomogeneities.
