The structure and thermal parameters of biomedical used Ni20Pd80 alloy were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The diffraction experiments performed in the temperature range of 308-1100 K revealed that the alloy forms a face centered cubic (fcc) A1-type structure. The temperature dependence of the lattice parameters was investigated using the Bragg line displacement method shows that the lattice parameter increases with the increase of temperature. The mean linear thermal expansion (MLTE (%)), coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) α, the characteristic Debye temperature (ΘD) and mean square amplitudes of vibration were determined from the XRD data. The value of Debye temperature was found to be 253 K. It was found that temperature factor was independent of the static displacements.

ABSTRACTThe stable structure of cobalt is hexagonal closed packed (hep), but cobalt can be stabilized in the face centered cubic structure (fee) by epitaxy on Cu (100). These films are ferromagnetic with [110] in plane easy axis. The Magnetic anisotropies of these films strongly depend on their structure, and in particular to the possible deviation from the isotropie fee structure. We have studied these films by surface EXAF.S. By recording the spectra both in normal incidence and in grazing incidence we have shown that the Co/Cu (100) films have a face centered tetragonal structure: the mean nearest neighbour distance parallel to the surface is 2.55 Å (same value as in bulk copper) and the interlayer bonds length is 2.50 Å (same value as in bulk cobalt). We conclude that the films are in perfect epitaxy on copper (100) with a contraction of the lattice parameter perpendicular to the surface of 4%. A constant tetragonalization is observed for films of 2 to 15 Monolayers.

Face centered cubic Ti3Si nanoparticles were synthesized by mechanical alloying process and the structural and compositional evolutions during the mechanical alloying process were investigated by X-ray diffraction and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy. The results showed that the lattice parameter ratio c/a and the unit cell volume of Ti(Si) were found to decrease with increasing milling time, indicating that the shrinkage of Ti lattice was caused by diffusion of Si atoms into Ti. After milling 51h, amorphous compounds were obtained by alloying Ti and Si powders, and the following mechanical alloying process crystallized the amorphous alloy to crystalline Ti3Si nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were predominantly crystalline with traces of the remnant amorphous phase.

The high temperatures and pressures that are found in a spark gap during electrical discharging lead to a sharp phase transition and structural transformation in the surface layer of cemented carbides containing WC and cobalt. By means of X-ray diffraction both W2C and a high-temperature monocarbide of tungsten (face-centered cubic) were detected after electro-erosion. The W2C forms as a result of the peritectic reaction, WC → W2C+C. The existence and amount of the phases depend on both the energy of the electro-spark discharge and the cobalt content. In the case of a low-energy discharge (i.e. C=0.01μF, V = 300v), WC(f.c.c.) is generally formed in the surface layer. However, at high energies, (e.g. C=30μF, V = 300v), W2C is formed at the surface in preference to the monocarbide. The phase transformations in the surface layer are retarded by the presence of larger percentages of cobalt.Metallographic examination of the electro-eroded surfaces of cemented carbides was carried out on samples with 5-30% cobalt content. The specimens were first metallographically polished using diamond paste and standard procedures and then subjected to various electrical discharges on a Servomet spark machining device. The samples were then repolished and etched in a 3% NH4OH electrolyte at -0.5 amp/cm2. Two stage plastic-carbon replicas were then made and shadowed with chromium at 27°.

Ion implantation can be used to alter the optical response of insulators through the formation of embedded nano-sized particles. Single crystal alumina has been implanted at ambient temperature with 50 keV Ca+ to a fluence of 5 x 1016 ions/cm2. Ion channeling, Knoop microhardness measurements, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicate that the alumina surface layer was amorphized by the implant. TEM also revealed nano-sized crystals ≈7 - 8 nm in diameter as seen in Figure 1. These nanocrystals are randomly oriented, and exhibit a face-centered cubic structure (FCC) with a lattice parameter of 0.409 nm ± 0.002 nm. The similarity between this crystallography and that of pure aluminum (which is FCC with a lattice parameter of 0.404 nm) suggests that they are metallic aluminum nanocrystals with a slightly dilated lattice parameter, possibly due to the incorporation of a small amount of calcium.Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) provides an avenue by which to confirm the metallic nature of the aluminum involved in the nanocrystals.

Effects of stacking faults in a high nitrogen face-centered-cubic phase (γΝ) formed on plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti (18-8 type) austenitic stainless steel on peak shift and peak asymmetry of x-ray diffraction were investigated based on Warren’s theory and Wagner’s method, respectively. The peak shift from peak position of the γΝ phase is ascribed to the deformation faults density α, while the peak asymmetry of the γΝ phase is characterized by deviation of the center of gravity of a peak from the peak maximum (Δ C.G.) due to the twin faults density β. The calculated peak positions of x-ray diffraction patterns are consistent with that measured for plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel.

We have studied the effect of the silicon concentration on the structural and hyperfine properties of nanostructured Fe[Formula: see text]Six powders ([Formula: see text], 20, 25 and 30[Formula: see text]at.%) prepared by mechanical alloying. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that after 72[Formula: see text]h of milling, the solid solution bcc-[Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) is formed. The grain sizes, [Formula: see text]D[Formula: see text] (nm), decreases with increasing Si concentration and reaches a minimum value of 11[Formula: see text]nm. We have found that the lattice parameter decreases with increasing Si concentration. The changes in values are attributed to the substitutional dissolution of Si in Fe matrix. From the adjustment of Mössbauer spectra, we have shown that the mean hyperfine magnetic field, [Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] (T), decreases with increasing Si concentration. The substitutional dependence of [Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] (T) can be attributed to the effect of p electrons Si influencing electrons d of Fe.

AbstractThe T – P phase diagrams of the halogenomethane compounds (CCl_4 – _ n Br_ n , n = 0, 1, 2, 4) are calculated using a mean field model. By expanding the free energy in terms of the order parameters for the transitions of the liquid (L), rhombohedral (R), face-centered cubic (FCC) and monoclinic (M) phases in those compounds, the phase line equations are derived and they are fitted to the experimental data from the literature. This method of calculating the T – P phase diagram is satisfactory to explain the T – P measurements for the halogenomethane compounds and it can also be applied to two-component systems.

ABSTRACTWe show that superlattice (SL) of PbS quantum dots (QD) can be easily prepared by drop casting of colloidal QD solution onto glass substrate and the ordering level can be controlled by the substrate temperature. A QD solution was dropped on glass and dried at 25, 40, 70 and 100°C resulting in formation of different SL structures. X-ray diffractograms (XRD) of deposited films show a set of sharp and intense peaks that are higher order satellites of a unique peak at 1.8 degrees (two theta), which corresponds, using the Bragg’s Law, to an interplanar spacing of 5.3 nm. The mean particles diameter, calculated through the broadening of the (111) peak of PbS using the Scherrer’s formula, were in agreement with the interplanar spacing. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements were also used to study the SL structure, which showed mainly a face centered cubic (FCC) arrangement of the QD. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of QD in the SL showed a shift toward lower energy compared to one in solution. It can be attributed to the fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET) between neighbors QD´s. Moreover, we observed greater redshift of PL peak for film with lower drying temperature, suggesting that it has a more organized structure.

Cobalt sulfide thin films were synthesized from acidic chemical baths by varying the deposition time. The powder X-ray diffraction studies indicated that there are hexagonal CoS, face-centered cubic Co3S4, and cubic Co9S8 phases of cobalt sulfide. The crystallite size of the hexagonal CoS phase decreased from 52.8 nm to 22.5 nm and that of the cubic Co9S8 phase increased from 11 nm to 60 nm as the deposition time increased from 2 hrs to 3.5 hrs. The scanning electron microscopic images revealed crack and pinhole free thin films with uniform and smooth background and few large polygonal grains on the surface. The band gap of the cobalt sulfide thin films decreased from 1.75 eV to 1.3 eV as the deposition time increased from 2 hrs to 3.5 hrs. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the films confirmed the emission of ultraviolet, violet, and blue lights. The intense PL emission of violet light at 384 nm had red shifted with increasing deposition time that could be resulted from the increase in the average crystallite size. The FTIR spectra of the films indicated the presence of OH, C-O-H, C-O, double sulfide, and Co-S groups. As the deposition time increased, the electrical resistivity of the cobalt sulfide thin films decreased due to the increase in both the crystallite size and the films’ thickness.
