Peak Broadening

Multi-modal characterization of polycrystalline materials by combined use of three-dimensional (3D) X-ray diffraction and imaging techniques may be considered as the 3D equivalent of surface studies in the electron microscope combining diffraction and other imaging modalities. Since acquisition times at synchrotron sources are nowadays compatible with four-dimensional (time lapse) studies, suitable mechanical testing devices are needed which enable switching between these different imaging modalities over the course of a mechanical test. Here a specifically designed tensile device, fulfilling severe space constraints and permitting to switch between X-ray (holo)tomography, diffraction contrast tomography and topotomography, is presented. As a proof of concept the 3D characterization of an Al–Li alloy multicrystal by means of diffraction contrast tomography is presented, followed by repeated topotomography characterization of one selected grain at increasing levels of deformation. Signatures of slip bands and sudden lattice rotations inside the grain have been shown by means ofin situtopography carried out during the load ramps, and diffraction spot peak broadening has been monitored throughout the experiment.

Band Pass

Novel focusing optical devices have been developed for synchrotron radiation in the energy range 40–100 keV. Firstly, a narrow-band-pass focusing energy-tuneable fixed-exit monochromator was constructed by combining meridionally bent Laue and Bragg crystals. Dispersion compensation was applied to retain the high momentum resolution despite the beam divergence caused by the focusing. Next, microfocusing was achieved by a bent multilayer arranged behind the crystal monochromator and alternatively by a bent Laue crystal. A 1.2 µm-high line focus was obtained at 90 keV. The properties of the different set-ups are described and potential applications are discussed. First experiments were performed, investigating with high spatial resolution the residual strain gradients in layered polycrystalline materials. The results underline that focused high-energy synchrotron radiation can provide unique information on the mesoscopic scale to the materials scientist, complementary to existing techniques based on conventional X-ray sources, neutron scattering or electron microscopy.

Electrical Characterizations

This manuscript is explained and discussed the properties of ceramic thick films, [Ba0.3Sr0.7ZrO3,BSZ (0.7)] synthesized through sol-gel route. The gel decomposition was studied by thermogravinometry analysis (TGA). From thermal analysis, it had shown that BSZ (0.7) phase started formed at 800 °C and above. The crystal structure of this composite film studied exhibited highly polycrystalline materials by X-ray diffraction analysis. From high magnification observation of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), grain boundaries of BSZ (0.7) films are clearly defined meanwhile grains displayed are in flaky shape. The average diameters of the grains measured were 94.6 nm. However, grains boundaries of BSZ (0.0) films, are unclear and grains slightly look dendritic structure. Electrical characterizations of the films are carried out with impedance analyzer at 4 - 12 GHz respectively. Both of electrical permittivity and loss tangent observed are dependable with microstructural and structural of the films.

Low Levels

The use of the Rietveld refinement method has been highlightened as essential in the characterization of polycrystalline materials. With the aid of this method, combined with the application of the X-ray diffraction, it was possible to develop a type of cement that can temporarily substitute the Portland cement for Oil well. This cement was developed from the mixture of Portland cements commonly found in the market. The cements were passed through various sieves, then characterized by X-ray diffraction, being identified the main phases (C3A, C4AF, C3S and C2S) and quantified by the Rietveld refinement method. With the values obtained in the quantification of the phases, a new cement was made through the method of linear programming. From the results, it was possible to conclude that the developed cement presented a composition (levels of the main phases) that satisfies the requirements of NBR 9831, mainly in relation to the low levels of C3A.
