Structural Disorder and Thermal Dilatation Behavior in Cr-Doped Mullite

ABSTRACTLattice parameters of some different chromium-doped mullites obtained by a sol-gel route and sintered at 1650° C have been determined from X-Ray Diffraction data as a function of both temperature and Cr contents. Profile refinements on the X-ray diffraction diagrams have been carried out, showing that, at temperatures between 800° and 1535° C, an anisotropic thermal expansion takes place for the a and b lattice parameters of the Cr-doped mullite. We show that this anisotropic expansion is dependent on the temperature increase and the chromium content for the different compositions of the mullite crystals.

AbstractThe crystal structure of the phase Ce5AgxGe4−x (x = 0.1−1.08) has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data for Ce5Ag0.1Ge3.9. This phase is isotypic with Sm5Ge4: space group Pnma (No. 62), Pearson code oP36, Z = 4, a = 7.9632(2), b = 15.2693(5), c = 8.0803(2) Å; R1 = 0.0261, wR2 = 0.0460, 1428 F2 values and 48 variables. The two crystallographic positions 8d and 4c show Ge/Ag mixing, leading to a slight increase in the lattice parameters as compared to those of the pure binary compound Ce5Ge4.

Abstract The equiatomic indide ScPtIn (ZrNiAl type, space group P 6 ‾ $‾{6}$ 2m) shows an extended solid solution Sc3Pt3–xIn3. Several samples of the Sc3Pt3–xIn3 series were synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing, or directly in a high frequency furnace. The lowest platinum content was observed for Sc3Pt2.072(3)In3. All samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and their lattice parameters and several single crystals were studied on the basis of precise single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The correct platinum occupancy parameters were refined from the diffraction data. Decreasing platinum content leads to decreasing a and c lattice parameters. Satellite reflections were observed for the Sc3Pt3–xIn3 crystals with x = 0.31–0.83. These satellite reflections could be described with a modulation vector ( 1 3 , 1 3 , γ ) $\left(\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{3},\gamma \right)$ ( γ = 1 2 $\gamma =\frac{1}{2}$ c* for all crystals) and are compatible with trigonal symmetry. The interplay of platinum filled vs. empty In6 trigonal prisms is discussed for an approximant structure with space group P3m1.

AbstractThe phosphates M0.5+x M′x Zr2−x (PO4)3 (M–Ca, Mn, Co, Sr, Cd, Ba, Pb; M′–Mg, Mn, Co) were synthesized by sol-gel method with the following thermal treatment of reaction mixtures. X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and electron microprobe analysis showed that the obtained phosphates crystallized in Sc2(WO4)3 (SW) and NaZr2(PO4)3 (NZP) structural types. Both types of crystal structures are based on a framework comprised of octahedra and tetrahedra, the difference between them is fragments orientation. Thermal expansion of the phosphates was studied in the temperature range 20–800°C. Some compounds were found to belong to low-expanding materials (αav ~2·10−6°C−1).

Composite cathodes made of perovskite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 (LSCF) and SDC carbonates (SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3) were investigated in relation to their structure, morphology, thermal expansion coefficient and porosity. As a first step, the LSCF powder was prepared by sol-gel technique. This was followed by the preparation of the LSCF-SDC carbonates composite cathode by mixing the LSCF with SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3 electrolyte via solid state reaction in various compositions, i.e. 30, 40 and 50 wt.%, namely 70LSCF-30SDC7030, 60LSCF-40SDC7030 and 50LSCF-50SDC7030, respectively. The powder mixtures were then calcined at 680oC. The resultant powder was fine with surface area of about 3.39-7.42 m2/g and particle size of 0.56-0.66µm. The powder consists of two distinct phases, i.e. LSCF and SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3 as confirmed with x-ray diffraction. The microstructures were observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Increasing the amount of the SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3 electrolyte in the composite cathode was found to bring the thermal expansion of the cathode closer to that of the electrolyte. The cathode pellets were later compacted at different pressures (27, 32 and 37 MPa) and sintered at 600oC. The optimum porosity (20.99-24.98%) was achieved for samples with SDC-(Li/Na)2CO3 content of 30-50% sintered at 600oC and cold pressed at 37 MPa.

The Ag[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Se and Ag[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Se compounds have been synthesized and grown as single crystals. High-temperature X-ray diffraction method was used to study polymorphic transformations. It is shown that the Ag[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Se crystals of high-temperature FCC modification are decomposed into Ag2Se and AgCuSe when the temperature decreases below T = 488 K and Ag[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Se is decomposed into Cu2Se and AgCuSe when the temperature decreases below T = 540 K. Transformations in both compounds are reversible. Crystalline parameters are obtained and the temperature dependence of the lattice parameters for each phase is built.
