Phase transitions and CTE of 10mol%Sc2O3-1mol%CeO2-ZrO2 ceramics sintered from two commercial powders produced by Praxair Surface Technologies, USA and DKKK, Japan are studied. Morphology of powders and grain structure of ceramics were studied by SEM and AFM. Ceramics produced from Praxair powder exist in cubic phase while DKKK-based ceramics exhibit slow phase transformation from cubic to rhombohedral (β) phase at temperatures 350–400°C. c-β Phase transition temperature is 440°C obtained by high temperature x-ray diffractometry (HTXRD) and differential scanning calorimetry. Coefficients of thermal expansion of cubic and β-phases were calculated from temperature dependence of lattice parameters obtained by HTXRD in the temperature range of 25–800°C. These results can be further used for the optimal design of SOFC layered structures as well as for determination of their reliability and durability under operational conditions.

ABSTRACTScandia-doped zirconia is a very promising material for solid oxide fuel cells due to its high oxygen conductivity in the 700-850°C temperature range. 10 mol% Sc2O3 - 1 mol% CeO2 - ZrO2 ceramics were sintered at temperatures 1100-1600°C using different heating rates and dwell times. Ceramics sintered at temperatures higher 1300°C were found to exist in cubic phase at room temperature and exhibit slow phase transformation from cubic (c) to rhombohedral (beta) phase between 330 and 400°C. Analysis of c-β phase transition efficiency in the ceramics shows a strong correlation between the transition rate and sintering temperature. Kinetics of phase transitions were studied by high temperature X-ray diffractometry (HTXRD) and differential scanning calorimetry methods. The reversible c-β phase transition was found to have very wide hysteresis (45-70°C), which depends on sintering temperature and density. Coefficients of thermal expansion of c- and β-phases were calculated from temperature dependence of lattice parameters obtained by HTXRD in the temperature range of 25-800°C. Microstructural changes on the surface of the cubic phase due to c-β phase transition studied by SEM and AFM.

The scope of this work is the determination of single-crystal elastic properties from X-ray diffraction stress analysis performed on multiphase polycrystals. An explicit three-scale multiphase inverse self-consistent model is developed in order to express the single-crystal elasticity constants of a cubic phase as a function of its X-ray elasticity constants. The model is verified in the case of single-phase materials. Finally, it is applied to a two-phase (α+β) titanium-based alloy (Ti-17) and, as a result, the Ti-17 β-phase single-crystal elasticity tensor is estimated.

Ti-based alloys present unique properties and hence, are employed in several industrial segments. Among Ti alloys, β type alloys form one of the most versatile classes of materials in relation to processing, microstructure and mechanical properties. It is well known that heat treatment of Ti alloys plays an important role in determining their microstructure and mechanical behavior. The aim of this work is to analyze microstructure and phases formed during cooling of β Ti-Nb-Sn alloy through different cooling rates. Initially, samples of Ti-Nb-Sn system were prepared through arc melting furnace. After, they were subjected to continuous cooling experiments to evaluate conditions for obtaining metastable phases. Microstructure analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction were performed in order to evaluate phase transformations. Depending on the cooling rate and composition, α” martensite, ω phase and β phase were obtained. Elastic modulus has been found to decrease as the amount of Sn was increased.

The organic–inorganic hybrid compound 4-aminopyridinium tetraaquabis(sulfato)iron(III), (C5H7N2)[FeIII(H2O)4(SO4)2] (4apFeS), was obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the temperature range from 290 to 80 K. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the title compound undergoes a sequence of three reversible phase transitions, which has been verified by variable-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis during cooling–heating cycles over the temperature ranges 290–100–290 K. In the room-temperature phase (I), space group C2/c, oxygen atoms from the closest Fe-atom environment (octahedral) were disordered over two equivalent positions around a twofold axis. Two intermediate phases (II), (III) were solved and refined as incommensurately modulated structures, employing the superspace formalism applied to single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Both structures can be described in the (3+1)-dimensional monoclinic X2/c(α,0,γ)0s superspace group (where X is ½, ½, 0, ½) with modulation wavevectors q = (0.2943, 0, 0.5640) and q = (0.3366, 0, 0.5544) for phases (II) and (III), respectively. The completely ordered low-temperature phase (IV) was refined with the twinning model in the triclinic P{\overline 1} space group, revealing the existence of two domains. The dynamics of the disordered anionic substructure in the 4apFeS crystal seems to play an essential role in the phase transition mechanisms. The discrete organic moieties were found to be fully ordered even at room temperature.

To elucidate the factors that induce phase transitions in biomembranes due to interactions of proteins/peptides at the lipid membrane-interface, the effects of positively charged peptides on the cubic phase (Q229) of Dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG)/Monoolein (MO) membranes were investigated. Small angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) results revealed that 12 mol% DOPG/88 mol % MO membranes in excess water at 25°C is body centered cubic phase of crystallographic space group Im3m (Q229). In presence of peptide LLKKK, the lattices constant of Q229 phase was gradually decreased with an increase of peptide concentration and a phase transition from cubic (Q229) to cubic (Q224) phase occurred at R=0.080; (R= molar ratio of peptide to lipid). On the other hand the designed peptide WLFLLKKK and antimicrobial peptide Magainin-2 induced lamellar phase (Lα) in the same mixture membranes. These results indicate that the interactions of the these peptides with this mixture membrane are different: LLKKK induces electrostatic attractive interactions and that of WLFLLKKKK and Magainin-2 bound with the lipid membranes induce electrostatic repulsive interaction at the membrane-interface, might be the major factor inducing different phase transitions in 12 mol% DOPG/88mol% MO mixture membranes.
