ABSTRACTThe V2O5-MoO3 mixtures offer a whole range of materials where properties can be adjusted by simple modification of experimental parameters, which may be utilized for manufacturing metamaterials with on-demand properties. The V2O5-MoO3 system contains an intermediate phase V9Mo6O40, with a small fraction of V4+ instead of V5+. Consequently, this system should rather be considered as pseudobinary. The V4+ content depends on the oxygen partial pressure in the atmosphere. Thus, by changing the oxygen partial pressure one can tailor the electric properties of the system, and by changing the supercooling, the morphologic structure of crystallized bodies as well. For better understanding of this system differential thermal analysis and thermodynamic modeling was performed. Fibers of eutectic composition between V9Mo6O40 and MoO3 were grown by the micro-pulling-down technique. X-ray diffraction confirmed the existence of the V9Mo6O40 intermediate phase.

AbstractThe effect of oxygen partial pressure on stability of high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system has been investigated using x-ray diffraction, resistivity and a.c. susceptibility measurements. It was found that part of the high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system was transformed into the low-Tc phase (80 K) and insulating phases by heating in the temperature range 600 C to 880°C in O2 of one atmosphere. The original high-Tc phase was restored upon retreatment in a low oxygen partial pressure of 0.1 atmosphere. The reversible superconducting phase transformation is discussed in conjunction with the formation mechanism of the high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system.

The crystallographic data of YBa2Cu3O7−δ, Y2BaCuO5, BaCu2O2, and YBa4Cu3O9 at high temperatures and p(O2)<10 Pa have been derived on the basis of HT-XRD measurements. Whereas Y2BaCuO5 expands nearly isotropically, YBa2Cu3O7−δ and BaCu2O2 show anisotropic expansions. Furthermore, the first decomposition step of the considered compounds at p(O2)<10 Pa was observed. BaCu2O2 melts congruently at T ≍ 1273 K and Y2BaCuO5 decomposes via a peritectic reaction into Y2O3, Y2BaO4 and melts at T ≍ 1323 K. A solid-state reaction into Y2BaCuO5 and BaCu2O2 was indicated for YBa2Cu3O7−δ at T ≍ 1123 K. Because YBa4Cu3O9 becomes unstable at T ≍ 1123 K, this compound cannot be formed by the primary decomposition reaction of YBa2Cu3O7−δ

ABSTRACTIn this work high-temperature X-ray diffraction has been used to investigate thermal and chemical expansion as well as overall phase stability for various cathode materials: Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 (BSCF), La0.3Sr0.7CoO3 (LSC37), La0.6Sr0.4CoO3 (LSC64) and La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.8Co0.2O3 (LSCF), as a function of temperature in reducing conditions. When perovskites materials are under a low oxygen partial-pressure condition, the lattice parameter and overall dimension increase. Their chemical expansion has comparable values. From the viewpoint of the stability of these phases, the high-temperature X-ray diffraction results indicate no phase decomposition can be one of the reasons for material failure at the current experimental oxygen partial pressure. LSF is most stable, while LSC and LSCF form oxygen vacancy-ordered phases and then decompose when heated to 1000°C under atmospheres with pO2 as low as 10-5 atm.

AbstractMg/Fe order in olivine has been determined by X-ray diffraction data, for example by Wenk and Raymond (1973). We have now studied the dependence of the Mg/Fe order vs. oxygen partial pressure. Two natural olivine samples of volcanic origin containing respectively 10 and 12 % fayalite were selected. The atomic positions, anisotropic temperature factors, extinction coefficient and site occupancies have been refined toThese experiments seem to indicate that the prevailing oxygen partial pressure determines the different Mg/Fe order found in natural olivine crystals.

Oxide-based materials are promising candidates for use in high temperature thermoelectric generators. While their thermoelectric performance is inferior to commonly used thermoelectrics, oxides are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. In this study, Cu-based delafossites (CuFeO2), a material class with promising thermoelectric properties at high temperatures, were investigated. This work focuses on the phase stability of CuFeO2 with respect to the temperature and the oxygen partial pressure. For this reason, classical material characterization methods, such as scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, were combined in order to elucidate the phase composition of delafossites at 900 °C at various oxygen partial pressures. The experimentally obtained results are supported by the theoretical calculation of the Ellingham diagram of the copper–oxygen system. In addition, hot-stage X-ray diffraction and long-term annealing tests of CuFeO2 were performed in order to obtain a holistic review of the phase stability of delafossites at high temperatures and varying oxygen partial pressure. The results support the thermoelectric measurements in previous publications and provide a process window for the use of CuFeO2 in thermoelectric generators.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric PbTiO3 and Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films with a perovskite structure were grown on MgO and Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si by MOCV.D. The microstructure and composition of the films were characterized by x-ray diffraction, SEM, and AES. Preferred orientation of either (111) or (100)/(001) was obtained on the Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at temperatures from 600 °C to 650 °C The preferred (111) orientation was attributed to the formation of the Pt3Ti phase in the Pt layer of the substrates, whereas the (100)/(001) orientations were inferred as the growth rate effect. AES depth profiling indicated a uniform composition through the thickness of the PZT films. However, SEM showed different topography and microstructure of the PZT films deposited in different oxygen partial pressure. Electrical properties of the PZT films appear varied as a function of the oxygen partial pressure in the reactor.

ABSTRACTSuperconducting La2−xSrxCaCu2O6−δ ceramics (x=0−0.6) were prepared with application of the oxygen-hot-isostatic pressing (O2-HIP) technique. The Tc of various samples was found to depend on both the Sr content and the applied oxygen partial pressure in the HIP treatment. The maximum Tc onset of 50K was observed for samples of the composition x=0.3 and 0.4 HIPped at 1050°C under 60atm oxygen partial pressure, and x=0.1 and 0.2 HIPped at 1050°C under 400atm oxygen partial pressure, respectively. From the analysis of x-ray diffraction patterns for superconducting substances, it was found that there existed a strong correlation between superconducting properties and the lattice parameters.

Prereduction of Nchwaning manganese ore was investigated by isothermal reduction between 600 and 800 °C to optimize the conditions for industrial pretreatment of manganese ores. Experiments were conducted in CO/CO2 gas mixtures with and without hydrogen at two different oxygen partial pressures. Ore in the size fraction 9.52–15 mm was reduced in a thermogravimetric furnace, and the O/Mn ratio from the chemical analysis was used to determine the extent of prereduction. The samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction to investigate the evolution of phases under the course of reduction. The X-ray diffraction revealed that bixbyite and braunite (I and II) were reduced to manganosite with no or limited formation of hausmannite. Reduction of iron oxides subsided with wüstite, which is stabilized by manganese in the monoxide phase, and hydrogen was seen to improve the reduction of iron oxides. Modeling revealed that the reduction rate increased 2.8-fold upon increasing the CO content from 30% to 70% in a CO/CO2 gas mixture. The addition of hydrogen improved the reduction rate with factors of 1.3 and 2.6 for the low and the high oxygen partial pressures, respectively. Hence, the optimal conditions for pretreatment can be achieved by keeping the oxygen partial pressure as low as possible while adding hydrogen to the reducing gas and ensuring a high reduction temperature. Successful pretreatment limits the extent of the Boudouard reaction in the submerged arc furnace, reducing the amount of CO produced and, thus, reducing the CO available for pretreatment. Hydrogen is a useful addition to the pretreatment unit since it lowers the oxygen partial pressure and improves the kinetics of prereduction.

Highly c-axis-oriented ZnO films were deposited successfully on the nucleation sides of freestanding diamond (FSD) films by the direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering method in an oxygen (O2) + argon (Ar) gas mixture. The effect of oxygen partial pressure on properties of ZnO films was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that when flux ratio of argon to oxygen was 1, the ZnO films had a better crystalline quality.
