The phase diagram of the vanadium-gallium system was investigated by means of thermoanalysis, microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and electron probe analysis.The liquidus curve was measured in the range from 40—80% Gallium. The existence of the known phases V3Ga (Cr3Si-typ), V6Ga5 (Ti6Sn5-typ), V6Ga7 (Cu5Zn8-typ), V2Ga5 (Mn2Hg5-typ), V4GaO and V5Ga3Ox (Mn5Si3-typ) was reestablished. The existence of V3GaOx and V5 (Ga, Si)3Ox is stated and their crystal structure investigated.It is shown that the oxygen content of he samples greatly influences the equilibrium conditions of the system. By means of annealing experiments and dilatometric measurements the phase diagram of the vanadium-gallium-oxygen system was investigated in the range of small oxygen contents.

This study investigates the crystal chemistry of monazite (APO4, where A = Lanthanides = Ln, as well as Y, Th, U, Ca, and Pb) based on four samples from different localities using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron-probe microanalysis. The crystal structure of all four samples are well refined, as indicated by their refinement statistics. Relatively large unit-cell parameters (a = 6.7640(5), b = 6.9850(4), c = 6.4500(3) Å, β = 103.584(2)°, and V = 296.22(3) Å3) are obtained for a detrital monazite-Ce from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Sm-rich monazite from Gunnison County, Colorado, USA, has smaller unit-cell parameters (a = 6.7010(4), b = 6.9080(4), c = 6.4300(4) Å, β = 103.817(3)°, and V = 289.04(3) Å3). The a, b, and c unit-cell parameters vary linearly with the unit-cell volume, V. The change in the a parameter is large (0.2 Å) and is related to the type of cations occupying the A site. The average <A-O> distances vary linearly with V, whereas the average <P-O> distances are nearly constant because the PO4 group is a rigid tetrahedron.

AbstractThe occurrence of three accessory minerals with significant rare earth contents in Tertiary acid rocks of St. Kilda is described. Allanite, zirkelite, and chevkinite were identified by electron probe analysis (with energy-dispersive attachment) and the chevkinite confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Brief comparison is made with other Tertiary occurrences of RE minerals. This is the first recorded occurrence of chevkinite in Great Britain.

Minerals of the eudialyte group from ultra-agpaitic associations are often characterized by high contents (up to the dominance) of sodium at the M2 site, which is populated with iron in eudialyte. The features of blocky isomorphism with the replacement of IVFe2+ by IVNa and VNa at the M2 micro-region are discussed. Using the methods of electron probe microanalysis, X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy, a potentially new mineral, M2Na-dominant analogue of eudialyte from the Ilimaussaq alkaline massif (Greenland), was investigated. Its crystal structure was refined to R = 5.6 % in the anisotropic approximation of atomic displacements using 1095 independent reflections with F > 3(F). The unit-cell parameters are: a = 14.208(1), c = 30.438(1) Å, V = 5321(1) Å3; the space group is R-3m. The idealized formula of the mineral is (Z = 3): (Na,H3O)15Ca6Zr3[Na2Fe][Si26O72](OH)2Cl∙2H2O.

Recently, the anomalous two-fold-symmetric in-plane anisotropy of superconducting states has been observed in a layered superconductor system, LaO1−xFxBiSSe (x = 0.1 and 0.5), with a tetragonal (four-fold symmetric) in-plane structure. To understand the origin of the phenomena observed in LaO1−xFxBiSSe, clarification of the low-temperature structural phase diagram is needed. In this study, we have investigated the low-temperature crystal structure of LaO1−xFxBiSSe (x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, and 0.5). From synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments, a structural transition from tetragonal to monoclinic was observed for x = 0 and 0.01 at 340 and 240 K, respectively. For x = 0.03, a structural transition and broadening of the diffraction peak were not observed down to 100 K. These facts suggest that the structural transition could be suppressed by 3% F substitution in LaO1−xFxBiSSe. Furthermore, the crystal structure for x = 0.5 at 4 K was examined by low-temperature laboratory X-ray diffraction, which confirmed that the tetragonal structure is maintained at 4 K for x = 0.5. Our structural investigation suggests that the two-fold-symmetric in-plane anisotropy of superconducting states observed in LaO1−xFxBiSSe was not originated from structural symmetry lowering in its average structure. To evaluate the possibility of the local structural modification like nanoscale puddles in the average tetragonal structure, further experiments are desired.

The silver–calcium system has been reinvestigated over the whole composition range by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and metallography. A novel technique has been used to prepare and examine these reactive alloys. In the course of this project four intermetallic compounds have been observed for the first time; while two others, viz., Ag2Ca and AgCa, which were reported before by others, have been confirmed. Three of the new compounds are: Ag8Ca3, Ag3Ca5, and AgCa3, while the fourth was not isolated or examined in detail. Two other compounds which were described in earlier work as Ag4Ca and Ag3Ca, have been found to be Ag9Ca2 and Ag7Ca2, respectively. Major modifications have been made in the liquidus curve and possible reactions in the solid state are indicated.

The phase diagram of the Sm2O3–CuO system was investigated by the combination of the differential thermal analysis and the quench method. The results showed that Sm2CuO4 incongruently melts at about 1220 °C, and that the solid Sm2CuO4 exists in equilibrium with the liquid consisting of 81–95 mol% CuO in the range of 1060–1220 °C. On the basis of the phase diagram, Sm2−xCexCuO4 single crystals were grown by the traveling solvent floating zone method. The crystal structure [space group I4/mmm, a = 3.917(1), c 4 11.899(2) Å] has been refined using single-crystal x-ray diffraction data with a precision corresponding to an R index of 0.02.

This paper used the metallographic analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), differential scanning thermal analysis (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron probe analysis (EPMA) system to research the evolution law of the microstructure and properties of AA7050 under different homogenization system. And analyzes the cause of this evolution combined with the test results put forward. The research shows that high melting point eutectic phase S (Al2CuMg) can be fully re-dissolution through two-stage homogenization, at the same time avoid the overburning of low melting eutectic phase. We optimized the AA7050 homogenization heat treatment system and the optimal homogenization scheme is 430°C/18h+467°C/12h.
