In order to obtain appropriate forms of AgI (?- and ?-), a procedure was developed to synthesize AgI at room temperature (23?C), whereby samples of varying crystallographic purity and of varying crystallographic contents of the different forms were obtained. This paper presents the results of investigations of the influence of the manner of preparation of ?-AgI and ?-AgI samples and the sample heating rate on the phase transformations and their temperatures. During the heating of non-ground, ground and pressed synthesized AgI samples, the phase transformations and the corresponding temperatures for one ?-AgI and four ?-AgI samples with different ?-AgI contents (representing a crystallographic impurity) were identified. The following phase transformations were observed for the non-ground AgI samples: ?-AgI ? ?-AgI at 149.6?C (for the ?-AgI sample) and ?-AgI ? ?-AgI at 148.7?C or 148.2?C for the ?-AgI samples with a minimum content of ?-AgI (less than 7 %), as a crystallographic impurity. The phase transition ?-AgI ? ?-AgI was irreversible because ?-AgI was obtained whenever the samples were heated up to 260?C. Manual sample grinding, as well as pressing at p1 = 650 MPa and p2 = 900 MPa resulted in the ?-AgI ? ?-AgI phase transition in all the investigated cases. .

Phase transformations and thermal conductivity of three In-Ag alloys with 5, 15, and 45 wt.% of Ag were experimentally investigated in the present work. Phase transition temperatures were measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC heating scans were compared with the equilibrium and non-equilibrium solidification paths, calculated by using optimized thermodynamic parameters from literature and calculation of phase diagrams (CALPHAD) method.  The flash method was employed for the determination of thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of the investigated alloys in the temperature range from 25 to 100 °C. It has been found that an increase in silver content does not lead to an increase in the thermal conductivity of the investigated alloys. Thermal conductivities for all three investigated In-Ag alloys slightly decrease with temperature increasing.

The application of light-weight intermetallic materials to address the growing interest and necessity for reduction of CO2 emissions and environmental concerns has led to intensive research into TiAl-based alloy systems. However, the knowledge about phase relations and transformations is still very incomplete. Therefore, the results presented here from systematic thermal analyses of phase transformations in 12 ternary Ti-Al-Nb alloys and one binary Ti-Al measured with 4–5 different heating rates (0.8 to 10 °C/min) give insights in the kinetics of the second-order type reaction of ordered (βTi)o to disordered (βTi) as well as the three first-order type transformations from Ti3Al to (αTi), ωo (Ti4NbAl3) to (βTi)o, and O (Ti2NbAl) to (βTi)o. The sometimes-strong heating rate dependence of the transformation temperatures is found to vary systematically in dependence on the complexity of the transformations. The dependence on heating rate is nonlinear in all cases and can be well described by a model for solid-solid phase transformations reported in the literature, which allows the determination of the equilibrium transformation temperatures.

The room-temperature phases of sodium potassium molybdates K3Na(MoO4)2 and K2.5Na1.5(MoO4)2 are isostructural with the monoclinic low-temperature phases of KaNa(SeO4)2 and K3Na(CrO4)2, which are twinned distorted glaserite structures. In the molybdates there are two crystallographically independent potassiums and their environment slightly differs from those in K3Na(SeO4)2 and K3Na(CrO4)2. The excessive Na in K2.5Na1.5(MoO4)2 occupies the position of the more firmly bound potassium. A reversible phase transition at 513 K was discovered in KaNa(MoO4)2 by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), but no such transition in K2.5Na1.5(MoO4)2 was detected. Both samples used in the diffractometer experiment were found to be composed of six domains being related by twinning operations of the point group 6. The twinning may be considered as a combination of a merohedral and a pseudo-merohedral twinning with two- and threefold rotations as twinning operations, respectively. However, a reversible domain switching, which is observable in the related ferroelastic crystals of KaNa(SeO4)2 and K3Na(CrO4)2, was not observed either in K3Na(MoO4)2 or in K2.5Na1.5(MoO4)2, either due to semitransparency of the samples or high ferroelastic distortion. This distortion is manifested by the values of the atomic displacement vectors which are about twice as large as those in the selenate or the chromate.

Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) has great potential as a clean, renewable feedstock for producing modern energy carriers through thermochemical, called pyrolyis, and densification processes to form a Refused Derived Fuels (RDF), i.e MSW char briquette. In this article, thermogravimetry analysis has done to analyzed combustion characteristic of MSW briquette dan MSW char briquette. The sample in this research is 70 % wt MSW organic component 30 % wt MSW non organic component. . The 20 gram sample is placed in the furnace whose temperature is increased 10 0C/min and until sample temperature reaches 400 0C and held for 30 minutes before the sample is cooled into room temperature. 100 ml/min nitrogen is introduced from the bottom of furnace as a swept gas.. The formed char is densified and then characterized in a self manufactured macro balance, adopted from Swithenbank et al.. The 3 gram sample is placed in the furnace whose temperature is increased wih the selected heating rate until sample mass nearly constant.The results of the research showed that the effect of pyrolysis give the increase of sample heating value and give the lower ignition temperature of char briquette combustion.

Thin films of aluminum or aluminum-silicon can be used in conjunction with thin films of chromium in integrated electronic circuits. For some applications, these films exhibit undesirable reactions; in particular, intermetallic formation below 500 C must be inhibited or prevented. The Al films, being the principal current carriers in interconnective metal applications, are usually much thicker than the Cr; so one might expect Al-rich intermetallics to form when the processing temperature goes out of control. Unfortunately, the JCPDS and the literature do not contain enough data on the Al-rich phases CrAl7 and Cr2Al11, and the determination of these data was a secondary aim of this work.To define a matrix of Cr-Al diffusion couples, Cr-Al films were deposited with two sets of variables: Al or Al-Si, and broken vacuum or single pumpdown. All films were deposited on 2-1/4-inch thermally oxidized Si substrates. A 500-Å layer of Cr was deposited at 120 Å/min on substrates at room temperature, in a vacuum system that had been pumped to 2 x 10-6 Torr. Then, with or without vacuum break, a 1000-Å layer of Al or Al-Si was deposited at 35 Å/s, with the substrates still at room temperature.

BaZnGeO4 undergoes many phase transitions from I to V phase. The highest temperature phase I has a BaAl2O4 type structure with a hexagonal lattice. Recent X-ray diffraction study showed that the incommensurate (IC) lattice modulation appears along the c axis in the III and IV phases with a period of about 4c, and a commensurate (C) phase with a modulated period of 4c exists between the III and IV phases in the narrow temperature region (—58°C to —47°C on cooling), called the III' phase. The modulations in the IC phases are considered displacive type, but the detailed structures have not been studied. It is also not clear whether the modulation changes into periodic arrays of discommensurations (DC’s) near the III-III' and IV-V phase transition temperature as found in the ferroelectric materials such as Rb2ZnCl4.At room temperature (III phase) satellite reflections were seen around the fundamental reflections in a diffraction pattern (Fig.1) and they aligned along a certain direction deviated from the c* direction, which indicates that the modulation wave vector q tilts from the c* axis. The tilt angle is about 2 degree at room temperature and depends on temperature.

STEM coupled with the optical system was used for the investigation of the early oxidation on the surface of Cr. Cr thin films (30 – 1000Å) were prepared by evaporation onto the polished or air-cleaved NaCl substrates at room temperature and 45°C in a vacuum of 10−6 Torr with an evaporation speed 0.3Å/sec. Rather thick specimens (200 – 1000Å) with various preferred orientations were used for the investigation of the oxidation at moderately high temperature (600 − 1100°C). Selected area diffraction patterns in these specimens are usually very much complicated by the existence of the different kinds of oxides and their multiple twinning. The determination of the epitaxial orientation relationship of the oxides formed on the Cr surface was made possible by intensive use of the optical system and microdiffraction techniques. Prior to the formation of the known rhombohedral Cr2O3, a thin spinel oxide, probably analogous to γ -Al203 or γ -Fe203, was formed. Fig. 1a shows the distinct epitaxial growth of the spinel (001) as well as the rhombohedral (125) on the well-oriented Cr(001) surface. In the case of the Cr specimen with the (001) preferred orientation (Fig. 1b), the rings explainable by spinel structure appeared as well as the well defined epitaxial spots of the spinel (001). The microdif fraction from 20A areas (Fig. 2a) clearly shows the same pattern as Fig. Ia with the weaker oxide spots among the more intense Cr spots, indicating that the thickness of the oxide is much less than that of Cr. The rhombohedral Cr2O3 was nucleated preferably at the Cr(011) sites provided by the polycrystalline nature of the present specimens with the relation Cr2O3 (001)//Cr(011), and by further oxidation it grew into full coverage of the rest of the Cr surface with the orientation determined by the initial nucleation.
