A simple theoretical model is developed to study the effect of size and temperature on the coefficient of thermal expansion and lattice parameter of nanomaterials. We have studied the size dependence of thermal expansion coefficient of Pb , Ag and Zn in different shape viz. spherical, nanowire and nanofilm. A good agreement between theory and available experimental data confirmed the model predictions. We have used these results to study the temperature dependence of lattice parameter for different size and also included the results of bulk materials. The temperature dependence of lattice parameter of Zn nanowire and Ag nanowire are found to present a good agreement with the experimental data. We have also computed the temperature and size dependence of lattice parameter of Se and Pb for different shape viz. spherical, nanowire and nanofilm. The results are discussed in the light of recent research on nanomaterials.

The equation of state, the expressions of lattice parameter and thermal expansion coefficient in general form are obtained by the statistical moment method. Applying to Cu , Al and Ni metals, we determine these properties in simple analytic form for each metal. Numerical results for the thermal expansion coefficient of these metals in different temperatures and pressures are in good agreement with experiments.

Based on the pairwise interatomic potential of Mi-Lennard-Jones and the Einstein's model of crystal the state equation P(V/V0, T) and the baric dependencies of the lattice properties for diamond were obtained. The calculations were performed along two isotherms: T = 300 and 3000 K and until to P = 10000 kbar (i.e. until to the relative volume V/V0 = 0.5). The baric dependencies for the following properties were obtained: isothermal elastic modulus, isochoric and isobaric heat capacities and thermal expansion coefficient. Good agreement with experimental data was obtained.

AbstractThe surface regions of α-alumina and hot pressed silicon nitride were modified by suitable alloying in order to improve their wear resistance. The surface modification in polycrystalline α-alumina was done by diffusing chromia into the surface region which resulted in the formation of a thin layer of A12O3 - Cr9O3 solid solution which has a lower thermal expansion coefficient than pure α-alumina. Also Cr2O3 has a larger lattice parameter than α-alumina thus during cooling the surface was put into compression. The surface region of hot pressed silicon nitride was modified by diffusing α-alumina into the surface which resulted in the formation of a thin sialon layer. A surface compressive stress was again introduced due to the lower thermal expansion coefficient and larger latticeparameter of sialon compared to silicon nitride.Wear tests were conducted against 52100 steel under both lubricated and unlubricated sliding contact using a block on ring apparatus. The wear resistance of chromia surface alloyed α-alumina was improved considerably over unalloyed α-alumina under both lubricated and unlubricated conditions. The wear resistance of alumina surface alloyed silicon nitride was also improved over unalloyed silicon nitride under both lubricated and unlubricated conditions.Different wear modes were identified by examining the worn surfaces under the scanning electron microscope.

Anharmonic effective potential, Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) and its parameters of hcp crystals have been theoretically and experimentally studied. Analytical expressions for the anharmonic effective potential, effective local force constant, three first cumulants, a novel anharmonic factor, thermal expansion coefficient and anhamonic contributions to EXAFS amplitude and phase have been derived. This anharmonic theory is applied to analyze the EXAFS of Zn and Cd at 77 K and 300 K, measured at HASYLAB (DESY, Germany). Numerical results are found to be in good agreement with experiment, where unnegligible anharmonic effects have been shown in the considered theoretical and experimental quantities.

The Debye–Scherrer pattern of the alloy Ni80Zr20 clearly shows the presence of a nickel solid-solution phase along with a new intermetallic phase Ni23Zr6, which seems to be isostructural with the Co23Zr6 phase. The thermal expansion coefficient of the Ni23Zr6 phase has been investigated in the temperature range 1003–1493 K. Linear variation of lattice parameter with temperature has been observed. The thermal expansion coefficient remains almost constant throughout this temperature interval.

Ceramic cookware can be taken a direct flame or stove top for the duration without damage. The selected materials must have low thermal expansion coefficient, high strength, low water absorption and high thermal shock resistance, reasonable in cost and easy to be produced. Cordierite and spodumene composite has been interested for ceramic cookware due to their fitted properties. In previous work, study in the cordierite-spodumene composite with low thermal expansion coefficient of 2.60 x 10-6 /°C when sintered at 1250 oC with a ratio of spodumene 60 wt% and cordierite 40 wt% can withstand the pot shape samples. However, the sample showed relatively high water absorption and low strength which was not appropriate for using in this application. In this research, mullite is added in the formula to improve strength and densification of ceramic composites. Spodumene, ball clay, calcined talc and calcined alumina are used as starting raw materials and formed by slip casting. All samples are sintered in a temperature range from 1250-1275 °C in an electric furnace. Water absorption and bulk density were tested by Archimedes method, modulus of rupture was tested by the three-point bending method, microstructure were investigated by SEM and the coefficient of thermal expansion was measured by dilatometer. It was found that the mullite phase was investigated when adding mullite more than 30 wt% in cordierite-spodumene composite.
