AbstractX-ray diffraction line-profile analysis on tetragonal forms of SnO2 (cassiterite), MnO2 (pyrolusite), and previously studied TiO2 (rutile), which were subjected to high pressure shock loading, show that residual lattice strain and coherent “crystal” size are a function of shock parameters. An interesting observation on a sample of MnO2 concerns the recovery of cubic Mn2O3 (bixbyite) in the material subjected to 22 GPa, indicating a shock-induced chemical synthesis.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated by x-ray diffraction defect structures in 6H-SiC after neutron irradiation with different fluences and followed by different annealing procedures. An interpretation along a model of Klimanek [1, 4–6] shows, that higher fluences lead to a stronger than linear reduction of the correlation length, whereas higher annealing temperatures correlate with a better recovery of the correlation length. In addition defects of 1st kind created by irradiation are reduced by annealing. We find that annealing changes the character of the defects and it accentuates a defect structure already present in the original samples.

The dislocation densities and crystallite size distributions in ball-milled fluorides,MF2(M= Ca, Sr, Ba and Cd), of the fluorite structure type have been determined as a function of milling time by X-ray diffraction line-profile analysis. The treatment has been based on the concept of dislocation contrast to explain strain anisotropy by means of the modified Williamson–Hall and Warren–Averbach approaches and a whole-profile fitting method using physically based functions. In most cases, the measured and calculated patterns are in perfect agreement; however, in some specific cases, the first few measured profiles appear to be narrower than the calculated ones. This discrepancy is interpreted as the result of an interference effect similar to that described by Rafaja, Klemm, Schreiber, Knapp & Kužel [J. Appl. Cryst.(2004),37, 613–620]. By taking into account and correcting for this interference effect, the microstructure of ball-milled fluorides is determined in terms of dislocation structure and size distributions of coherent domains. A weak coalescence of the crystallites is observed at longer milling periods. An incubation period in the evolution of microstrains is in correlation with the homologous temperatures of the fluorides.
