The infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, TGA and DTA, and microscopic analysis techniques were applied to a study of BaCO3-BaSO4 systems, performed on samples prepared by precipitation from dilute aqueous solutions. A new BaCO3. 3 BaSO4 phase was established in the system with the BaSO4 structure exhibiting parallel extinction (replacement of the SO42- anion by a CO32- anion, the d values are equal). The BaCO3-BaCO3. 3 BaSO4 region contains a mixture of the two phases, the latter phase, however, may be oversaturated by carbonate. In the BaCO3. 3 BaSO4-BaSO4 region, unstable phases are formed with a lower content of carbonate.

Abstract The corrosion behavior of silicon carbide/aluminum (SiCp/Al) metal matrix composites was studied in chloride solution by means of electrochemical techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction. The materials under investigation were powder metallurgy (P/M) processed 6061 Al reinforced with increasing amounts of SiC particles (15 to 40 vol%). Electrochemical tests such as potentiodynamic polarization were done in 0.035, 0.35, and 3.5% NaCl solutions that were open to air, aerated, or deaerated to observe overall corrosion behavior. In addition, pit morphology was observed after anodic polarization to a number of potentials. It was seen that the corrosion potentials did not vary greatly or show definite trends in relation to the amounts of SiCp reinforcement. However, the degree of corrosion increased with increasing SiCp content and the presence or absence of oxygen as well as the concentration of the NaCl solution did affect corrosion potentials. Microscopic analysis techniques were used to study the corroded samples and the extensive pitting and exfoliation of the surfaces. X-ray diffraction was used to identify the compounds on the surface of the corroded samples as well as the flakes due to exfoliation.

One of the major purposes in the present work is to study the high temperature sulfidation properties of Nb in severe sulfidizing environments. Kinetically, the sulfidation rate of Nb is satisfactorily slow, but the microstructures and non-stoichiometry of Nb1+αS2 challenge conventional oxidation/sulfidation theory and defect models of non-stoichiometric compounds. This challenge reflects our limited knowledge of the dependence of kinetics and atomic migration processes in solid state materials on their defect structures.Figure 1 shows a high resolution image of a platelet from the middle portion of the Nb1+αS2 scale. A thin lamellar heterogeneity (about 5nm) is observed. From X-ray diffraction results, we have shown that Nb1+αS2 scale is principally rhombohedral structure, but 2H-NbS2 can result locally due to stacking faults, because the only difference between these 2H and 3R phases is variation in the stacking sequence along the c axis. Following an ABC notation, we use capital letters A, B and C to represent the sulfur layer, and lower case letters a, b and c to refer to Nb layers. For example, the stacking sequence of 2H phase is AbACbCA, which is a ∼12Å period along the c axis; the stacking sequence of 3R phase is AbABcBCaCA to form an ∼18Å period along the c axis. Intergrowth of these two phases can take place at stacking faults or by a shear in the basal plane normal to the c axis.

The structure of hydrous amorphous SiO2 is fundamental in order to investigate the effects of water on the physicochemical properties of oxide glasses and magma. The hydrous SiO2 glass with 13 wt.% D2O was synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions and its structure was investigated by small angle X-ray scattering, X-ray diffraction, and neutron diffraction experiments at pressures of up to 10 GPa and room temperature. This hydrous glass is separated into two phases: a major phase rich in SiO2 and a minor phase rich in D2O molecules distributed as small domains with dimensions of less than 100 Å. Medium-range order of the hydrous glass shrinks compared to the anhydrous SiO2 glass by disruption of SiO4 linkage due to the formation of Si–OD deuterioxyl, while the response of its structure to pressure is almost the same as that of the anhydrous SiO2 glass. Most of D2O molecules are in the small domains and hardly penetrate into the void space in the ring consisting of SiO4 tetrahedra.

Abstract One of the most significant aspects in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is developing suitable catalysts by which the process occurs in a favorable way. At the present work SCR reaction by ammonia (NH3-SCR) was conducted using Co-Mn spinel and its composite with Fe-Mn spinel, as nanocatalysts. The nanocatalysts were fabricated through liquid routes and then their physicochemical properties such as phase composition, degree of agglomeration, particle size distribution, specific surface area and also surface acidic sites have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy mapping, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD) analysis techniques. The catalytic activity tests in a temperature window of 150–400 °C and gas hourly space velocities of 10,000, 18,000 and 30,000 h−1 revealed that almost in all studied conditions, CoMn2O4/FeMn2O4 nanocomposite exhibited better performance in SCR reaction than CoMn2O4 spinel.

Targeting cleaning of the artificial gypsum layer on white marble was studied. It was conducted by means of the specific depletion of the calcium and sulfate ions by the barium carbonate scavenger, which led to the continuous dissolution and clearance of gypsum layer. The cleaning effect was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), capillary suction, and color difference measurement. By this method, only the gypsum layer was cleared away and the carbonate substrate of marble was left intact at the same time. This method will be highly useful for the conservation of marble relics from surface weathering.

Since the measurement of residual stress by X-ray diffraction techniques is dependent on the difference in angle of a diffraction peak maximum when the sample is examined consecutively with its surface at two different angles to the diffracting planes, it is important that these diffraction angles be obtained precisely, preferably with an accuracy of ± 0.01 deg. 2θ. Similar accuracy is desired in precise lattice parameter determination. In such measurements, it is imperative that the diffractometer be well-aligned. It is in the context of diffractometer alignment with the aid of a silicon powder standard free of residual stress that the diffraction peak analysis techniques described here have been developed, preparatory to residual stress determinations.

Besides ‘Li2Al’ which was recently shown to be the phase Li9Al4 there exists the phase Li3Al2 characterized by preparation and X-ray diffraction methods. It cristallizes with a rhomboedric unit cell, R3̄m, a = 4.508 Å, c = 14.26 Å and z = 3 formula units (hexagonal setting). The structure can be looked at as a variant of the body centred cubic packing with Αl-atom layers of puckered six membered rings. The structural relation of the phases LiAl, Li3Al2, Li9Al4, Li is discussed.

ABSTRACTThe structure and electrochemical potential of monoclinic Li1+xV3O8 were calculated within the local-density-functional-theory framework by use of plane-wave-pseudopotential methods. Special attention was given to the compositions 1+x=1.2 and 1+x=4, for which x-ray diffraction structure refinements are available. The calculated low-energy configuration for 1+x=4 is consistent with the three Li sites identified in x-ray diffraction measurements and predicts the position of the unobserved Li. The location of the tetrahedrally coordinated Li in the calculated low-energy configuration for 1+x=1.5 is consistent with the structure measured by x-ray diffraction for Li1.2V3O8. Calculations were also performed for the two monoclinic phases at intermediate Li compositions, for which no structural information is available. Calculations at these compositions are based on hypothetical Li configurations suggested by the ordering of vacancy energies for Li4V3O8 and tetrahedral site energies in Li1.5V3O8. The internal energy curves for the two phases- cross near 1+x=3. Predicted electrochemical potential curves agree well with experiment.

This work reports on an experimental study of the stretching of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) film in various uniaxial/biaxial stretching modes at various temperatures and stretching speeds. We examined the stress-birefringence relationship as a stress-optical rule (SOR) under uniaxial stretching and evaluated the stress-optical coefficient (SOC). Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) measurements were applied to evaluate the contribution to birefringence of the crystalline and amorphous phases and to characterize stretching modes. In simultaneous biaxial stretching, the melting temperature (Tm) proved critical to structural formation. We applied thermal analysis techniques and tensile testing to evaluate higher order structures after each stretching mode.
