The uniformity and reaction kinetics of ion-beam deposited Al/Ni multilayer samples with the same composition, Al81.8Ni18.2, and modulation wavelength, Λ = 20 nm, but with different total film thicknesses were investigated by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The total film thicknesses varied between approximately 0.5 and 2.0 μm. It was found that the interface widths were approximately 1 nm and the Ni layers are much more disordered than the Al layers. The thicker samples show an increase in disorder on a length scale comparable to Λ. In other experiments, a change was observed with increasing modulation wavelength from semicoherent interfaces with a low density of misfit dislocations to semicoherent interfaces with a high density of misfit dislocations. The reaction kinetics for forming the Al9Ni2 phase is independent of the sample thickness.

The reaction kinetics in vapor-deposited indium/amorphous-selenium (a-Se) multilayer thin films were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A number of reactions were observed upon heating with characteristic temperatures which were found to be independent of the multilayer modulation wavelength. The initial interface reaction between In and a-Se is the formation of an In2Se phase. Kinetic analyses of the In2Se formation process combined with TEM observations indicated that interface reaction is characterized by the two-dimensional growth of pre-existing In2Se regions formed during deposition to impingement in the plane of the original In/a-Se interface. The change of the density of In2Se grains with temperature was analyzed in terms of the derived kinetic parameters, which is consistent with TEM observations and the heat release measurements.

A synthesis of new di-and triblock polyurethane thermoplastic copolymers containing different mass ratio of two crystallizing blocks - poly (1,4-butylene glycol) adipate and poly-ε-caprolactone diols was developed. Using combination of danamometric analysis, IR-spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction, the effect of the soft block composition and crystallization conditions on crystal structure and thermal behavior of the obtained polymers have been studied. For the triblock copolymers we have shown a possibility of control the kinetics of material hardening and final mechanical characteristics due to the mutual influence of polydiols during crystallization. In the result, the second crystallizing component allows to control amount, structure and quality of crystalline domains in polyurethanes by variation of crystallization conditions.

Synthesis of mixed gadolinium calcium heptamolybdate (GdCaHM) system in silica gel medium using single gel single tube technique has been successfully achieved. The grown crystal exhibits various morphologies, which includes spherulites, multifaceted, and square platelets. The nature of the grown material was established by X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) study signifies the presence of heptamolybdate (Mo7O24) and water symmetry structure, whereas energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) establishes the stoichiometric of the grown crystal as GdCaMo7O24·8H2O. The thermal behaviour was studied using the thermoanalytical techniques, which include thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results obtained on the application of TG based models, namely, Horowitz-Metzger, Coats-Redfern, and Piloyan-Novikova, suggest the contracting cylindrical model as the relevant model for the thermal decomposition of the material. The kinetic parameters, namely, the order of reaction (n), activation energy (Ea), frequency factor (Z), and entropy (ΔS*), were also calculated using these three models.

AbstractIn the present study, hydrogen desorption properties of magnesium hydride (MgH2) synthesized from modified waste magnesium chips (WMC) were investigated. MgH2 was synthesized by hydrogenation of modified waste magnesium at 320 °C for 90 min under a pressure of 6 × 106 Pa. The modified waste magnesium was prepared by mixing waste magnesium with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and NaCl additions, applying mechanical milling. Next, it was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques in order to characterize its structural properties. Hydrogen desorption properties were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates (5, 10, and 15 °C/min). Doyle and Kissenger non-isothermal kinetic models were applied to calculate energy (Ea) values, which were found equal to 254.68 kJ/mol and 255.88 kJ/mol, respectively.

ABSTRACTThe evolution of the B2-AlFe phase during mechanical grinding in Ar has been examined as a function of milling time by X-Ray diffraction, transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Short and long range disorder was observed to increase with the mechanical treatment up to the attainment of a steady state. The evolution of the long range order parameter and of the local atomic configurations at Fe sites were analyzed in terms of possible mechanisms for milling induced disordering. The kinetics of the thermal reordering was studied under continuous heating and isothermal calorimetrie regimes. Modeling of the reordering processes by diffusion controlled growth of pre-existing ordered grains is presented as well as the estimated values of both the enthalpy and the activation energy of the reordering process. The results are consistent with a non uniform distribution of disorder throughout the sample and will be compared with preceding information on related systems.

The phase formation sequence of Ni silicide for different thicknesses is studied by in situ X ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The formation of a transient phase is observed during the formation of δ-Ni2Si; transient phases grow and disappear during the growth of another phase. A possible mechanism is proposed for the transient phase formation and consumption. It is applied to the growth and consumption of θ-Ni2Si. A good accordance is found between the proposed model and in situ measurement of the kinetics of phase formation obtained by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry for higher thickness.

Homogeneous maghemite (γ–Fe2O3) nanoparticles with an average crystal size around 5 nm were synthesized by successive hydrolysis, oxidation, and dehydration of tetrapyridino-ferrous chloride. Morphological, thermal, and structural properties were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Rietveld refinement indicated a cubic cell. The superstructure reflections, related to the ordering of cation lattice vacancies, were not detected in the diffraction pattern. Kinetics of the solid-state phase transition of nanocrystalline maghemite to hematite (α–Fe2O3), investigated by energy dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXRD), indicates that direct transformation from nanocrystalline maghemite to microcrystalline hematite takes place during isothermal treatment at 385 °C. This temperature is lower than that observed both for microcrystalline maghemite and for nanocrystalline maghemite supported on silica.

Cu47Ti33Zr11Ni8Si1 metallic glass powder was prepared by gas atomization. Decomposition in the amorphous alloy and primary crystallization has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The glassy powder exhibits a broad DSC exotherm prior to bulk crystallization. Controlled annealing experiments reveal that this exotherm corresponds to a combination of structural relaxation and nanocrystallization. A uniform featureless amorphous contrast is observed in the TEM prior to the detection of nanocrystals of 4–6 nm in size. High-resolution TEM studies indicate that this nanocrystalline phase has a close crystallographic relationship with the γ–CuTi phase having a tetragonal structure. The product of the main crystallization event is also nanocrystalline, hexagonal Cu51Zr14, having dimensions of 20 nm. However, there is no evidence for possible amorphous phase separation prior to the nanocrystallization events.
