In this paper, the use of local kaolin coming from Djebel Debbagh (denoted DD1) in the composition of ceramic glazes for sanitary ware was examined. Because of its natural abundance, low price and good characteristics, this kaolin represents an interesting economic alternative to other mineral clays. The chemical composition showed that this kaolin contains 38.49 wt.% Al2O3 and 44.85 wt.% SiO2. Two glazes based on kaolin DD1 denoted as GaDD1 and GbDD1 were prepared with conventional ceramic processing techniques at temperature 1250 oC. As a reference, another glaze (Gref) based on kaolin Remblend was also prepared in the same conditions. The samples were characterized with X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope. The results revealed that zircon and quartz are the crystalline phases present in these glazes. In the sample GaDD1, it was found that the degree of whiteness is very high and reaches 93.30 %. However, the water absorption coefficient is low which is about 0.19 ? 0.04 %. In addition, the flexural strength and the Vickers microhardness are respectively, about 56.07 ? 5.61 MPa and 7952.80 ? 101.76 MPa. These properties are compatible with those of the glaze reference Gref and commercial sanitary ware glazes, indicating the potential use of kaolin DD1 in the production of glazed ceramic for sanitary ware applications.

Lead-free multiferroic magnetoelectric composites were prepared by incorporating the dispersed 0.4CoFe2O4ferromagnetic nanoparticles into 0.6(K0.5Na0.5)NbO3-LiSbO3ferroelectric micromatrix. From the x-ray diffraction analysis, it was observed that almost no chemical reaction occurs between the ferrite and the ferroelectric materials used to form the composite. Dielectric properties as a function of frequency were measured. The magnetoelectric couple effect was given as a function of magnetic field with a maximum magnetoelectric voltage coefficient of 15.01mV·cm-1·Oe-1at 1kHz, which was a very high value in the lead-free magnetoelectric composites system for the potential use on actuators and sensors, etc.

We are investigating by Raman microprobe measurements the superconducting and related phases in the LnBa2Cu3O7-x (for x=0 to 1) system where yttrium has been replaced by several of the lanthanide (Ln = Nd,Sm,Eu,Ho,Er) elements. The aim is to relate the observed optical spectra (Raman and fluorescence) to the compositional and structural properties of these solids as part of comprehensive materials characterization. The results are correlated with the methods of synthesis, the processing techniques of these materials, and their superconducting properties. Of relevance is the substitutional chemistry of these isostructural systems, the differences in the spectra, and their microanalytical usefulness for the detection of impurity phases, and the assessment of compositional homogeneity. The Raman spectra of most of these compounds are well understood from accounts in the literature.The materials examined here are mostly ceramic powders prepared by conventional solid state reaction techniques. The bulk samples are of nominally single-phase composition as determined by x-ray diffraction.

AbstractBones from level G in the Arago cave (Tautavel, Southern France, 450 ky) were analysed using a combination of particle induced X-ray and gamma-ray emission (PIXE and PIGME) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Human occupation and guano production by bats introduced a large amount of phosphate into the cave and as a result a decarbonated pocket was formed in the sediment, characterized by the dissolution of clay minerals, calcite and bones, and by the precipitation of phosphate secondary minerals. The Al released by clay minerals was reprecipitated as crandallite in the few remaining bones, and as montgomeryite with traces of crandallite in the surrounding sediments. Bones within the pocket have very high levels of Al, Fe, F and Zn and often have ‘diffusive’ type U-shaped concentration profiles. These profiles show that post-mortem uptake of trace elements occurred, and thus that trace element composition has to be used with care in palaeonutritional studies but is indicative of local palaeoenvironment. This uptake is complicated by a large increase in hydroxylapatite crystallinity in Palaeolithic bones compared to modern or more recent ones, as a result of the large P influx which occurred in the Arago cave after the sediment deposition.

AbstractWe have investigated the magnetic order, using SQUID magnetometry, for short modulation wavelength Fe3O4/NiO superlattices, grown on single crystal MgO. Ferrimagnetic Fe3O4 has a saturation moment of ~500 emu/cm3 at 0 K and a Curie temperature of 858 K, while bulk NiO is antiferromagnetic with a NMel temperature of 525 K. Very high crystalline quality with little interdiffusion is indicated by X-ray diffraction, SEM, optical microscopy, and in-situ RHEED, and the samples show highly anisotropic electrical conductivity which also indicates the strong modulation present. Long wavelength samples (Amod > 200 Å) have a behavior only slightly different from that expected from bulk Fe3O4, but for Amod<80 Å, spontaneous magnetization is replaced by paramagnetism, with weak temperature dependence (not I/T) from 5 K to 400 K.

The various techniques of phase transformation of the material have been proposed by many researchers. We have developed several devices to generate the ultrahigh pressure by using high explosive. One of them uses metal jets. It is expected that the ultrahigh pressure occurs by the head-on collision between metal jets, because the velocity of the metal jet is very high. By mixing a powdered material with metal jets, the pressure of the material becomes high. The purpose of this study is to transform the phase of the powdered material by using this high pressure. The powders of the graphite and hBN were applied. The synthesis to the diamond and cBN was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). In this paper, the mechanism of the generation of the ultrahigh pressure is explained and the results of the observation of the powder by using scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) are reported.

Pt/AlN multilayered films fabricated by alternative sputtering deposition were characterized by X-Ray Reflectometry and X-Ray Diffraction. As-deposited films have (111) and (001) preferred orientation for Pt and AlN, respectively. The X-Ray Reflectivity profiles are assigned to the total reflection and Bragg reflections due to periodic layer structure. The Bragg peaks are observed at the 2Theta range beyond 15 degree and the peak intensities increase after annealing. The reflectivity of the first order Bragg reflection is approximately 65% and is stable after annealing at 873K. Simulation of the reflectivity profile has shown roughnesses of the Pt/AlN interfaces are below 0.4nm. X-Ray Diffraction revealed the development of film texture and formation of superlattice by annealing. The latter indicates periodicity of film is very high.
