The crystal structure of the composite crystal Ca0.83CuO2 was investigated by synchrotron powder diffraction at high temperature. The incommensurate modulated structure was firstly analyzed at room temperature (RT) and successfully solved by adopting the (3D + 1)-dimensional symmetry P21/m(α0γ)0s. The composite crystal is featured by a non-uniform distribution of Ca ions occupying octahedral sites formed by the spatial arrangement by the infinite 1D CuO2 chains. By approaching 500 K, Ca0.83CuO2 undergoes a structural rearrangement ruled by the shrinking of the Ca interatomic distances. The high-temperature crystalline phase is characterized by a different incommensurate periodicity requiring the recombination of the Ca/CuO2 balance featuring the composite intergrowth of the two almost independent sub-structures. We ascertain that the new crystalline form is stable up to 950 K near to the limit of the thermal decomposition.

Dysprosia (Dy2O3) undergoes a monoclinic (B) to cubic (C) transformation on cooling through 1950°C, which is accompanied by an 8% volume increase and shattering. Minor additions of CaO combined with rapid quenching, however, are able to stabilize the high temperature phase down to room temperature. The similarities with the tetragonal to monoclinic transformation of ZrO2 suggest that it may be a possible high temperature transformation toughener. A sample of 8 mol% CaO was sintered at 1900°C and cooled at an intermediate rate. About 90% of B phase, which invariably had a modulated structure, was retained.From TEM studies of this B phase, it was shown that most of the selected area diffraction (SAD) patterns in different orientations consisted mainly of three types of reflections: (i) major reflections from the monoclinic lattice; (ii) satellites associated with each major reflection; and (iii) split reflections at the middle of the framework of major reflections. Depending on the orientation, (ii) and (iii) were accompanied by twinned reflections. Fig. 1 displays (i) and (iii) type reflections.

Abstract The room temperature Mössbauer spectrum of the high-temperature polymorph of Li2FeCl4 is in agreement with an inverse spinel structure and a disordered distribution of the cations on the octahedral sites. Mössbauer spectra of the orthorhombic room-temperature modification of Li2FeCl4 correspond to a 1:1 ordering of Li+ -and Fe2+ -ions on the octahedral sites.

This work relates to the field of thermophysical parameters of refractory interstitial alloys. The isochoric heat capacity of cubic titanium carbide TiCx has been calculated within the Debye approximation in the carbon concentration  range x = 0.70–0.97 at room temperature (300 K) and at liquid nitrogen temperature (80 K) through the Debye temperature established on the basis of neutron diffraction analysis data. It has been found out that at room temperature with decrease of carbon concentration the heat capacity significantly increases from 29.40 J/mol·K to 34.20 J/mol·K, and at T = 80 K – from 3.08 J/mol·K to 8.20 J/mol·K. The work analyzes the literature data and gives the results of the evaluation of the high-temperature dependence of the heat capacity СV of the cubic titanium carbide TiC0.97 based on the data of neutron structural analysis. It has been proposed to amend in the Neumann–Kopp formula to describe the high-temperature dependence of the titanium carbide heat capacity. After the amendment, the Neumann–Kopp formula describes the results of well-known experiments on the high-temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the titanium carbide TiCx. The proposed formula takes into account the degree of thermal excitation (a quantized number) that increases in steps with increasing temperature.The results allow us to predict the thermodynamic characteristics of titanium carbide in the temperature range of 300–3000 K and can be useful for materials scientists.

AbstractPolyhedral Oligomeric Silsequioxane molecules have been incorporated into a commercial polyurethane formulation to produce nanocomposite polyurethane foam. This tiny POSS silica molecule has been used successfully to enhance the performance of polymer systems using co-polymerization and blend strategies. In our investigation, we chose a high-temperature MDI Polyurethane resin foam currently used in military development projects. For the nanofiller, or “blend”, Cp7T7(OH)3 POSS was chosen. Structural characterization was accomplished by TEM and SEM to determine POSS dispersion and cell morphology, respectively. Thermal behavior was investigated by TGA. Two methods of TEM sample preparation were employed, Focused Ion Beam and Ultramicrotomy (room temperature).

ABSTRACTThe mechanical alloying behavior of elemental powders in the Nb-Si, Ta-Si, and Nb-Ta-Si systems was examined via X-ray diffraction. The line compounds NbSi2 and TaSi2 form as crystalline compounds rather than amorphous products, but Nb5Si3 and Ta5Si3, although chemically analogous, respond very differently to mechanical milling. The Ta5Si3 composition goes directly from elemental powders to an amorphous product, whereas Nb5Si3 forms as a crystalline compound. The Nb5Si3 compound consists of both the tetragonal room-temperature α phase (c/a = 1.8) and the tetragonal high-temperature β phase (c/a = 0.5). Substituting increasing amounts of Ta for Nb in Nb5Si3 initially stabilizes the α-Nb5Si3 structure preferentially, and subsequently inhibits the formation of a crystalline compound.

AbstractFrom the mechanical perspectives, the influence of point defects is generally considered at high temperature, especially when the creep deformation dominates. Here, we show the stress-induced reversible oxygen vacancy migration in CuO nanowires at room temperature, causing the unanticipated anelastic deformation. The anelastic strain is associated with the nucleation of oxygen-deficient CuOx phase, which gradually transforms back to CuO after stress releasing, leading to the gradual recovery of the nanowire shape. Detailed analysis reveals an oxygen deficient metastable CuOx phase that has been overlooked in the literatures. Both theoretical and experimental investigations faithfully predict the oxygen vacancy diffusion pathways in CuO. Our finding facilitates a better understanding of the complicated mechanical behaviors in materials, which could also be relevant across multiple scientific disciplines, such as high-temperature superconductivity and solid-state chemistry in Cu-O compounds, etc.

The reaction of 4-benzoyl-5-phenylamino-2,3-dihydrothiophene-2,3-dione (1) with aminoheteroaryls, lamotrigine, 1,3-diaminoheteroaryls, dapsone, NH2R (hydroxylamine, DL-1-phenylethylamine, and metformin), and 4,4′-bipyridine in THF/H2O (1 : 1) at room temperature led to 3-N-phenylthiocarbamoyl-2-butenamides 2–5, while that with naphthylamines and 1,3-phenylenediamine in ethanol at high temperature led to 5-phenylamino-2,5-dihydrothiophene-2-ones 6–8 as organic ligands in the medium to good yields. These showed the nucleophilic attacks of N-nucleophiles, except primary aromatic amines, on thioester carboxyl group (C-2) of thiophene-2,3-dione ring 1. However, the nucleophilic attacks of primary aromatic amines on the carbonyl group (C-3) of thiophene-2,3-dione 1 occurred in the form of substituted thiophenes.
