Time-resolved in situ neutron powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement have been used to study the synthesis of Bi-2212 from hydroxide precursors in a 2% O2 atmosphere. Bi-2212 was found to form within the temperature range 770–800 °C. Studies at 800 °C show that Bi-2212 grows rapidly at the expense of Bi-2201. Upon lowering the temperature to 500 °C and changing the atmosphere to Ar, a rapid increase in the lattice parameters was observed. We attribute this change to the loss of oxygen from the Bi-2212 lattice. The final material exhibited a Tc of 94 K.

The [4π + 4π] photodimerization process of the 9-substituted anthracene derivative crystalline 9-methylanthracene (9-MA) was investigated using time-resolved X-ray powder diffraction. The study was carried out in-situ using a CCD area detector. Sequential and parametric Rietveld refinement was applied for quantitative phase analysis. The results of traditional sequential Rietveld refinement showed that the evolution of the dimerization process can be described using the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) model. The parameters of the JMAK equation were obtained successfully by parametric Rietveld refinement and suggest that the reaction follows heterogeneous nucleation and one-dimensional growth with a decreasing nucleation rate.

Neutron powder diffraction was used to study the distribution of Co and Cr atoms over different lattice sites as well as the lattice parameters of sigma-phase compounds Co100 − x Cr x with x = 57.0, 62.7 and 65.8. From the diffractograms recorded in the temperature range of 4.2–300 K it was found for the five crystallographically independent sites that A (2a) and D (8i) are predominantly occupied by Co atoms, while sites B (4f), C (8i) and E (8j) mainly accommodate Cr atoms. The lattice parameters a and c exhibit linear temperature dependencies, with different expansion coefficients in the temperature ranges of 4.2–100 and 100–300 K.

Time-resolved mechanochemical cocrystallisation studies have so-far focused solely on neat and liquid-assisted grinding. Here, we report the monitoring of polymer-assisted grinding reactions using <i>in situ</i> X-ray powder diffraction, revealing that reaction rate is almost double compared to neat grinding and independent of the molecular weight and amount of used polymer additives.<br>
