AbstractThe new samarium germanide SmGe3 is obtained by high-pressure high-temperature synthesis of pre-reacted mixtures of samarium and germanium at a pressure of 9.5 GPa and temperatures between 1073 and 1273 K. SmGe3 decomposes at 470(5) K into SmGe2, α-Sm3Ge5 and a hitherto unknown phase. SmGe3 exhibits a superstructure of the cubic Cu3Au-type. Transmission electron microscopy measurements of crystalline particles and prepared lamellae indicate a high density of defects on the nanoscale. Selected area electron diffraction and elaborate X-ray powder diffraction measurements consistently indicate a 2a0 × 2a0 × 2a0 superstructure adopting space group $Fm\overline{3}m$ with a = 8.6719(2) Å.

Rhombohedral Boron

ABSTRACTA multianvil device was used to investigate the formation of BxO phases produced in the 2 to 10 GPa pressure range with temperatures between 1000 and 1800 °C.Amorphous and crystalline B and BP were oxidized using B2O3 and CrO3. Using powder X-ray diffraction and parallel electron energy-loss spectroscopy (PEELS), we were unable to detect graphitic or diamondstructured B2O, reported in previous studies. The refractory boride B6O, which has the α-rhombohedral boron structure, is the dominant suboxide in the P and T range of our investigation. PEELS with a transmission electron microscope was used to characterize the boron oxides.

AbstractCubic β-SiC was processed under conditions of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, based on the exothermic reaction between elemental Si and C powders. The set up for the synthesis of SiC using a mixture of Si and C is described. X-Ray and Raman spectroscopy studies were performed to characterize the quality of the β-SiC produced using the new set up. Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy studies were also carried out to study the mechanism of the formation of β-SiC from the elemental powders. The density of the compact and grain size of the graphite was found to be critical in the formation of the SiC. Diamond seeds were also implanted on the SiC pellet while compaction and this implanted diamond provided the necessary seed for the growth of a thick diamond film. The adhesion of the film is good because of its growth from the implanted diamond. Diamond films were grown on SiC using HFCVD. The quality and the adhesion of the diamond films on SiC were studied using SEM.

The Ni3Al and Ni3Al-B-Cr alloys were fabricated by the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion method. Their microstructure and mechanical properties were studied by using combination of X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and compression test. Analysis of X-ray spectra exhibited that the elemental powders had been transformed to the Ni3Al phase after the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis processing. Microstructure examination showed that the alloy without extrusion consisted of coarse and fine grains, but the subsequent hot extrusion procedure homogenized the grain size and densified the alloy obviously. Transmission electron microscopy observations on the Ni3Al alloy revealed that Ni3Al, γ-Ni and Al2O3 particles were the main phases. When the boron and chromium were added, besides the β-NiAl phase, α-Cr phase and some Cr7Ni3 particles with stacking faults inside were observed. In addition, a lot of substructure and high-density dislocation arrays were observed in the extruded part, which indicated that the subsequent extrusion had led to great deformation and partly recrystallizing in the alloy. Moreover, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributed the Al2O3 particles and eliminated the γ-Ni. These changes were helpful to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. The mechanical test showed that the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion improved the mechanical properties of the Ni3Al alloy significantly. The addition of B and Cr in Ni3Al alloy increased the mechanical properties further, but the compressive strength of the alloy was still lower than that synthesized by combustion. Finally, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis with hot extrusion was a good method to prepare Ni3Al alloy from powder.

The iron manganese nitride Fe2MnN was obtained by high-pressure–high-temperature synthesis from ζ-Fe2N and elemental Mn at 15(2) GPa and 1573(200) K. The phase crystallizes isostructural to binary ε-Fe3N. In comparison to the corresponding binary iron nitride, the microhardness of ε-Fe2MnN is reduced to 6.2(2) GPa. Above about 800 K the ternary compound decomposes exothermally under loss of nitrogen. ε-Fe2MnN is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of roughly 402 K.

The Si-SiC nanocomposites have been synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) from natural precursors. The effects of difference amount of added NaCl from 0 to 0.75 moles to the reactants on the Si-SiC conversion and particle size were investigated. The reaction were carried out in a SHS reactor under static argon gas at the pressure of 0.5 MPa. The nanocomposite results have been characterized by scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the production of nano-composite materials using SHS process is feasible and agree well with the thermodynamics calculations.

The first high-pressure scandium tellurate HP-Sc2TeO6 was synthesized from an NP-Sc2TeO6 normal-pressure precursor at 12 GPa and 1173 K using a multianvil apparatus (1000 t press, Walker-type module). The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c (no. 13) with a = 729.43(3), b = 512.52(2), c = 1095.02(4) pm and β = 103.88(1)°. The structure was refined from X-ray single-crystal diffractometer data: R1 = 0.0261, wR2 = 0.0344, 568 F2 values and 84 variables. HP-Sc2TeO6 is isostructural to Yb2WO6 and is built up from TeO6 octahedra, typical for tellurate(VI) compounds. During synthesis, a reconstructive transition from P321 (normal-pressure modification) to P2/c (high-pressure modification) takes place and the scandium–oxygen distances as well as the coordination number of scandium increase. However, the coordination sphere around the Te6+ cations gets only slightly distorted. High-temperature powder XRD investigations revealed a back-transformation of HP-Sc2TeO6 to the ambient-pressure modification above 973 K.
