In situ, observation of twinning and detwinning in magnesium single crystals during tension-compression cyclic loading was made using optical microscopy. A quantitative analysis of plastic strain indicates that twinning and detwinning experience two stages, low and high work hardening de-twinning, and pure re-twinning and fresh twinning combined with retwinning. Slip is always activated. For the first time, inverse slip accompanying with pure retwinning and high work hardening detwinning was experimentally identified, which provides insights in better understanding of the activity of twining, detwinning, and slips.

The structure of the layered noncentrosymmetric titanosilicate AM-1 (also known as JDF-L1, disodium titanium tetrasilicate dihydrate), Na4Ti2Si8O22·4H2O, grown as small single crystals without the use of organics, has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The H atom has been located for the first time, and the hydrogen-bonding scheme is also characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy. All atoms are in general positions except for the Na, the Ti, one Ti-bound O, one Si-bound O and the water O atoms (site symmetries 2, 4, 4, 2 and 2, respectively).

ABSTRACTWe have demonstrated growth of high quality single crystal CoGa films on Ga1−xAlxAs. These films were fabricated in-situ by codeposition of Co and Ga on MBE grown Ga1−xAlxAs(100) surfaces. The elemental composition of the films was determined using Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) and in-situ Auger analysis. The structural quality of the films' surfaces was studied using RHEED (during deposition) and LEED (post deposition). RBS channeling was used to determine the bulk crystalline quality of these films.For ∼500 Å CoGa films grown at ∼450°C substrate temperature, channeling data showed good quality epitaxial single crystals [χmin ∼7%] with minimal dechanneling at the interface.

The crystal structure of bentorite, ideally Ca6Cr2(SO4)3(OH)12·26H2O, a Cr3+ analogue of ettringite, is for the first time investigated using X-ray single crystal diffraction. Bentorite crystals of suitable quality were found in the Arad Stone Quarry within the pyrometamorphic rock of the Hatrurim Complex (Mottled Zone). The preliminary semi-quantitative data on the bentorite composition obtained by SEM-EDS show that the average Cr/(Cr + Al) ratio of this sample is >0.8. Bentorite crystallizes in space group P31c, with a = b = 11.1927(5) Å, c =21.7121(10) Å, V = 2355.60(18) Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal structure is refined, including the hydrogen atom positions, to an agreement index R1 = 3.88%. The bentorite crystal chemical formula is Ca6(Cr1.613Al0.387)Σ2[(SO4)2.750(CO3)0.499]Σ3.249(OH)11.502·~25.75H2O. The Raman spectra of bentorite from two different localities exhibit the presence of the main stretching and bending vibrations related to the sulfate group at 983 cm−1 (ν1), 1109 cm−1 (ν3), 442 cm−1 (ν2), and 601 cm−1 (ν4). Moreover, the presence of bands assigned to the symmetric Cr(OH)63− stretching mode and hydroxyl deformation vibrations of Cr–OH units at ~540 cm−1 and ~757 cm−1, respectively, may be used to distinguish between ettringite and bentorite. In situ high temperature single crystal XRD experiments show that the decomposition of bentorite starts at ca. 45 °C and that a dehydroxylation product similar to metaettringite is formed.

AbstractThe effect of hydrostatic pressure up to P = 1.7 GPa on the fluctuation conductivity σ′(T) and pseudogap ∆*(T) in Y0.95Pr0.05Ba2Cu3O7−δ single crystal with critical temperature Тс = 85.2 K (at P = 0) was investigated. The application of pressure leads to the increase in Tc with dTc/dP = +1.82 K∙GPa−1 while the resistance decreases as dlnρ(100 K)/dP = −(10.5 ± 0.2) %∙GPa−1. Regardless of the pressure, in the temperature interval from Tc to T0 (~88 K at P = 0) the behaviour of σ′(T) is well described by the Aslamazov – Larkin (AL – 3D) fluctuation theory, and above the T0 by the Lawrence – Doniach theory (LD). The Maki-Thompson (MT – 2D) fluctuation contribution is not observed. This indicates the presence of structural defects in the sample induced by Pr. Here it is determined for the first time that when the pressure is applied to the Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystal, the pseudogap increases as dlnΔ*/dP = 0.17 GPa–1.
