Silver has played a critical role for the fabrication of metal/high temperature superconductor composites. Phase equilibrium and microstructure in the ternary PbO-CuO-Ag system have been investigated using differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Composition versus temperature diagrams have been established for these systems in air. In the ternary CuO-PbO-Ag system, there is a eutectic reaction CuO + PbO + Ag = L at 750 °C and a composition of 12.04 mol % Ag, 16.35 mol % CuO, and 72.62 mol % PbO. Two immiscible regions near the two binary tie lines PbO-Ag and CuO-Ag were detected. No binary or ternary compound was detected in these systems. SEM and EDS results confirm the presence of two liquid phases and the eutectic point

In order to obtain essential information on the formation process of the high-Tc phase in the Bi, Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system, phase equilibria in the system PbO-CaO-CuO have been studied, mainly by x-ray diffraction analysis and thermal analysis. Temperature versus composition diagrams were established for the systems PbO-CuO(Cu2O) and PbO(PbO2)–CaO in air. Three invariant points were detected in these systems: a eutectic reaction (PbO + Ca2PbO4 = L) at 847 ± 6°C, a peritectic reaction (Ca2PbO4 = L + CaO) at 980 ± 2°C, and a eutectic reaction (PbO + CuO = L) at 789 ± 3°C. For the system PbO(PbO2)-CaO-CuO, subsolidus phase equilibrium in air was established. The liquidus was also examined at 780, 800, and 820°C, and a ternary (PbO-Ca2PbO4-CuO) eutectic point was detected at 772 ± 6°C.

Zirconia-graphene composite (ZrO2-G) has been successfully synthesized via decomposition of ZrOCl2•6H2O in a water-isopropanol system with dispersed graphene oxide (GO) utilizing Na2S as a precursor could enable the occurrence of the deposition of Zr4+ and the deoxygenation of GO at the same time. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the samples. It was found that graphene were fully coated with ZrO2, and the ZrO2 existing in tetragonal phase, which resulted in the formation of two-dimensional composite.

The residual stress (RS) status induced in the substrate of coated materials by the coating process plays frequently a major role in lending the component’s characteristics. RS assessment can give, thus, a substantial contribution in justifying different cases of failure or else bad performance of coated components due to e.g. the coating delamination or to other occurrences which are not simply interpretable via the conventional mechanical tests or microstructure analyses. The adoption of both neutron diffraction (ND) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques has revealed its usefulness in assessing the RS values in proximity of the coating interface area, respectively, without any layer removal or hole drilling at the extreme surface. In this paper, some real cases of RS determination in coated materials by using these techniques and exploiting their complementarity are described. ND, in particular, is very suitable for crucial applications, where a much different stress situation than that assessed by XRD could be present at some depth below the surface. The results achieved can yield trends adoptable in monitoring of the coating features.

Three new inorganic–organic coordination polymers based on a versatile linking unit 2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)acetate (Hima) and divalent Mn(ii), Ni(ii), and Cu(ii) ions, exhibiting two kinds of two dimensionalities with different topological structures, have been prepared in water medium and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Reaction of MnCl2·4H2O and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O with Hima yielded neutral two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers [M(ima)2]n, M = Mn(ii) 1, and Ni(ii) 2 with isostructural 2D coordination polymers possessing (3,6) topology structures, which further stack into three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular networks through C–H···O weak interactions. However, when Cu(NO3)2·4H2O was used, a neutral 2D coordination polymer [Cu(ima)2]n 3 consisting of rhombus units was generated, which showed a 3D supramolecular network through C–H···O weak interactions. Among these polymers, the building block ima anion exhibits different coordination modes. These results indicate that the versatile nature of this flexible ligand, together with the coordination preferences of the metal ions, plays a critical role in construction of these novel coordination polymers. Spectral and thermal properties of these new materials have also been investigated.

In this study, three new 3D coordination polymers (CPs), {[Cd3(L)(H2O)6]·H2O}n (1), {[Cu1.5(L)0.5(bimb)1.5]·5H2O·DMF}n (2), and {[Mn1.5(H3L)(bibp)0.5(H2O)2]·3H2O}n (3) (bimb= 1,3-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene, bibp= 1,4-bis((4-imidazol-1-yl)benzyl)piperazine), were prepared under solvothermal or hydrothermal conditions based on a hexadentate ligand (1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine hexa-acetic acid (H6L)). Structural elucidations were carried out by IR spectra along with single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, while thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) (dynamic and isothermal) and XRD techniques were used for property evaluations of the polymers. Furthermore, the fluorescence properties and detection of the Fe3+ ions in 1 were tested at room temperature, and the electrochemical behavior of 2 is also stated in this article.

The experimatal alloys were aged at different temperatures of 180°C, 200°C, 220°C, and 240º C with calcium addition levels of (X=0.5, 1, 1.5, 2%) on Mg-6Al-1Zn-XCa alloy were investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution. All the experimatal alloys were immersed in 3.5% NaCl solutions and the resulted surface were analyzed to study the corrosion behaviour and its surface topography by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The result shows that corrosion attack occurred predominantly on ß phase and α phase exhibit relatively minor corrosion. In addition to that the increased aging temperature coarsens the intermetallic as well as α- Mg grains, which shows adverse effect to corrosion resistances and the best result were obtained at composition of 0.5wt.% Ca aged at 200°C.

Y2BaCuO5 often occurs as an accompanying phase of the well-known high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 (also known as YBCO). Y2BaCuO5, easily identifiable due to its characteristic green coloration, is often referred to as ‘green phase’ or ‘Y-211’. In this contribution, Y2BaCuO5 phase was studied in detail with a focus on its thermal and thermodynamic properties. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed in the study of sample’s morphology and chemical composition. XRD data were further analyzed and lattice parameters refined by Rietveld analysis. Simultaneous thermal analysis was employed to study thermal stability. Particle size distribution was analyzed by laser diffraction. Finally, thermodynamic properties, namely heat capacity and relative enthalpy, were measured by drop calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and physical properties measurement system (PPMS). Enthalpy of formation was assessed from ab-initio DFT calculations.

The crystal structure of natural diterpenoid alkaloid ranaconitine isolated from Aconitum sinomontanum Nakai has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal presents a monoclinic system, space group C2 with Z = 4, unit cell dimensions a = 30.972(19) Å, b = 7.688(5) Å, and c = 19.632(12) Å. Moreover, the intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak π-π interactions play a critical role in expanding the dimensionality.

The present work deals with the investigation of the transformations of the solid and liquid phases at high energy planetary ball milling of toluene together with titanium powder. The sequence of structural toluene transformations using FT-IR spectroscopy was investigated. Phase constitutions and morphology of ball milled titanium powders were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that mechanically induced destruction of toluene occurs by the mechanism of catalytic cracking. During ball milling, concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons in the liquid phase decreases, at the same time the content of alkenes, cycloalkanes, and isoalkanes increases. The main solid products of the mechanosynthesis were cubic and hexagonal titanium carbo-hydrides.Evolution of lattice parameters, crystallites sizes, and micro-stresses of the solid phases during ball milling as a function of the mechanical energy dose have been discussed.

We investigated the reduction of TiO2 in the presence of Ni by nonequilibrium hydrogen gas, including low-temperature hydrogen plasma at 800 °C and supercooled monatomic hydrogen at 1000 °C. TiO2 was reduced to Ti2O3, which is not in equilibrium phase, by low-temperature hydrogen plasma. The results of x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive x-ray analysis in experiments at 1000 °C indicate that the thermodynamical reduction potential of supercooled monatomic hydrogen is almost the same as atmospheric hydrogen gas. However, the wide Ti3O5 layer formed only in the case of the reduction at 1000 °C by supercooled monatomic hydrogen. With these experimental facts, we speculate that the reduction mechanism by nonequilibrium hydrogen consists of two steps; the releasing energy process and the relaxation process. We can explain the difference of reduction products by nonequilibrium hydrogen gas on the assumption of the rate of the relaxation process between 800 and 1000 °C.
