AbstractX-ray diffraction techniques are utilized to characterize the biaxial state of stress in thermal vapor deposited, composition modulated layered structures. Thin film systems, as Au-Ni, Cu-Pd, Ag-Pd, Cu-Ni and Cu-NiFe, have manifested the ‘supermodulus effect’ as a mechanical property. The concept of interlayer coherency gives rise to the notion of accommodating misfit strains between the layers. In turn, such large elastic strains have been shown to cause large increases in the elastic moduli (the ‘supermodulus effect’) of noble metals. In the present work, pole figures are used to determine the texture and crystallographic orientations of these foils, and standard x-ray methods are then used to quantify this strain with lattice parameter measurements and diffraction peak profiles.

We report the growth and characterization of quaternary AlGaInN. A combination of photoluminescence (PL), high-resolution x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) characterizations enables us to explore the contours of constant- PL peak energy and lattice parameter as functions of the quaternary compositions. The observation of room temperature PL emission at 351nm (with 20% Al and 5% In) renders initial evidence that the quaternary could be used to provide confinement for GaInN (and possibly GaN). AlGaInN/GaInN MQW heterostructures have been grown; both XRD and PL measurements suggest the possibility of incorporating this quaternary into optoelectronic devices.

Nanocrystalline FeNi and Ni 3 Fe alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying of Fe and Ni elemental powders using a planetary ball mill under protection atmosphere. X-ray diffraction measurements were performed to follow alloy formation process in these alloys. A heat treatment of 1 h at 800°C was carried out to relax the internal stresses of the milled samples. Morphological evolution of powder particles was revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The value of lattice parameter was reached to 0.35762 nm and the hardness was found to be 686 HV at 30 h milled FeNi powder. In the case of Ni 3 Fe the values of 0.3554 nm and 720 HV were obtained for lattice parameter and hardness, respectively.

La-doped barium titanate (BaTiO3) was prepared using conventional solid state synthesis route. All peaks for sample x=0 are approaching the phase pure of BaTiO3 structure with tetragonal crystal structure (P4mm). Sintering of pressed powder are performed at 1300oC, 1400oC and 1450oC for overnight for pure BaTiO3 and 1350oC for 3 days for BaTiO3 doped lanthanum with intermittent grinding. Phase transition was studied by different x composition. The changes in the crystal structure of the composition x=0.1 and 0.2 were detected by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The phase changes between tetragonal-cubic and cubic-tetragonal depending on the temperature. Rietveld Refinement analysis is carried out to determine the lattice parameter and unit cell for BaTiO3.

It is well known that sol-gel technique is a simple method to produce nano sized ceramic powders. In this study, cerium oxide doped zirconia samples, with 10 mol%-12mol% and14mol% CeO2, were synthesized by sol-gel technique and characterized. The surface morphology, elemental composition, microstructure, and phase analysis, of the sintered CeO2 doped ZrO2 ceramics were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. X-ray diffraction for samples sintered at 1550 °C for 4h revealed that the zirconia ceramics have a tetragonal phase structure. The addition of CeO2 can raise the content of the tetragonal phase, but the minor monoclinic phase exists even at the CeO2 content of 10 mol%. The effect of dopant concentration on the lattice parameter, average primary crystallite size and micro-strain was studied. Relative densities for CeO2 doped ZrO2 bulk ceramics varied between 95% and 99 %, depending on the CeO2 addition.

The synthesis of CuCrO2 crystals by mixing CuO and Cr2O3 has been carried out using the solid reaction method at a temperature of 1200 0C. The characterization of the structure used XRD and analyzed using GSAS software. The results of characterization using XRD showed that no other phase occurred. This is evidenced by the absence of other phases from the results of refinement of measurement data with reference data and a value of χ 2 which is 1.222. The lattice parameter values resulting from the refinement of the CuCrO2 X-ray diffraction pattern are a = b = 2.9715 Å and c = 17.1104 Å with a cell volume of 130.584 Å 3. In addition to the lattice parameter values, the distance between atoms was also obtained, both Cu - O, Cr - Cr, and Cr - O.

PbBi4Ti4O15 belongs to the bismuth oxide layers family discovered by Aurivillius more than 50 years ago. In the last few years, there has been considerable interest in layered oxides exhibiting ferroelectric, piezoelectric and other related properties due to their wide range of application in technical devices. In the present work the PbBi4Ti4O15 solid solution formed with Eu3+ was synthesized by coprecipitation method and solubility limit was found. All compounds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, density measurements and X-ray diffraction. The variation of lattice parameter with the Eu3+ concentration was obtained. Raman spectroscopy was carried out in order to determine the Eu3+ site in the lattice. Thermal analysis (thermogravimetry and differencial scanning calorimetry) results are also presented.
