The Ge doped Mn3CuN powder was synthesized using gas-solid reaction method with manganese, copper, germanium powders and N2 gas as raw material. The phase constitute of the as-prepared powder was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The intrinsic and macro thermal expansion coefficients of the powder were measured by in-situ X-ray diffraction at different temperatures and TMA, respectively. The crystal structure of the powders was analyzed using Rietveld refinement method. The results show that the pure Mn3(Cu0.5Ge0.5)N powder can be prepared via the gas-solid method at 850 °C. The crystal structures of Mn3(Cu0.5Ge0.5)N and Mn3CuN both have the antiperovskite structures. The intrinsic and macro thermal expansion coefficient of Mn3(Cu0.5Ge0.5)N powder is-16.8×10-6K-1 and-17×10-6K-1, respectively. The temperature range with negative thermal expansion is from-80 °C to 50 °C.

A new series of solid solutions Dy2-xGdxMo4O15 (x = 0.0-0.9) were prepared. These compounds all crystallize in monoclinic structure with space group P21/c. The lattice parameters a, b, c and unit cell volumes V increase almost linearly with increasing gadolinium content. The intrinsic thermal expansion coefficients of Dy2-xGdxMo4O15 (x = 0.0 and 0.25) were obtained in the temperature range of 25 to 500°C with high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The correlation between thermal expansion and crystal structure was discussed.

Intermetallic γ-TiAl-based alloys are lightweight materials for high-temperature applications, e.g., in the aerospace and automotive industries. They can replace much heavier Ni-based alloys at operating temperatures up to 750 °C. Advanced variants of this alloy class enable processing routes that include hot forming. These alloys consist of three relevant crystallographic phases (γ-TiAl, α2-Ti3Al, βo-TiAl) that transform into each other at different temperatures. For thermo-mechanical treatments as well as for adjusting alloy properties required under service conditions, the knowledge of the thermal expansion behavior of these phases is important. Therefore, thermal expansion coefficients were determined for the relevant phases in a Ti-Al-Nb-Mo alloy for temperatures up to 1100 °C using high-energy X-ray diffraction.

AbstractStructural modifications with temperature of adamite, Zn2(AsO4)(OH), were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction up to dehydration and collapse of the crystal structure. In the temperature range 25–400°C, adamite shows positive and linear expansion. Axial thermal expansion coefficients, determined over this temperature range, are αa = 1.06(2) × 10–5 K–1, αb = 1.99(2) × 10–5 K–1, αc = 3.7(1) × 10–6 K–1 and αV = 3.43(3) × 10–5 K–1. Axial expansion is then strongly anisotropic with αa:αb:αc = 2.86: 5.38 : 1. Structure refinements of X-ray diffraction data collected at different temperatures allowed us to characterize the mechanisms by which the adamite structure accommodates variations in temperature. Expansion is limited mainly by edge sharing Zn(2) dimers along a and by edge sharing Zn(1) octahedra chains along c; on the other hand, connections of polyhedra along b, the direction of maximum expansion, is governed by corner sharing. Increasing temperature induces mainly an axial expansion of Zn(1) octahedron, which becomes more elongated, and no significant variations of the Zn(2) trigonal bipyramids and As tetrahedra. Starting from 400°C, deviation from a linear evolution of unit-cell parameters is observed, associated with some deterioration of the crystal, a sign of incipient dehydration. The process leads to the formation of Zn4(AsO4)2O.

In this work, a series of ZrO 2/ ZrW 2 O 8 ceramic composites with different amounts of ZrW 2 O 8 were successfully prepared by calcining the precursors synthesized using co-precipitation route at 1150°C for 3 h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) data confirmed that the composites only consisted of α- ZrW 2 O 8 phase and m - ZrO 2 phase. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the synthesized ZrO 2/ ZrW 2 O 8 composites showed that the specimens had good mixed-uniformities. In addition, the thermal expansion coefficients of the composites decreased with increased amounts of negative thermal expansion ZrW 2 O 8, specimen with 26wt% ZrW 2 O 8 shows almost zero thermal expansion and its average thermal expansion coefficient is -0.5897×10-6K-1 in the temperature range from 30°C to 600°C.

In this research, powders of Y2Mo3O12 and Yb2Mo3O12 were successfully synthesized by liquid phase coprecipitation, followed with a heat treatment at 750°C for 6h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the Y2Mo3O12 and Yb2Mo3O12 were single orthorhombic structure with the space group of Pbcn. Negative thermal expansion properties of Y2Mo3O12 and Yb2Mo3O12 were studied with high temperature XRD analysis. The thermal expansion coefficients of Y2Mo3O12 and Yb2Mo3O12 were calculated to be -5.943×10-6K-1 and -6.237×10-6K-1 respectively.

K2Zn3(P2O7)2 was synthesized by solid state reaction and its crystal structure was determined by ab initio method from powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The title compound was determined to be orthorhombic with space group P212121, Z=4, and lattice parameters a=12.901(8) Å, b=10.102(6) Å, and c=9.958(1) Å. Values of lattice parameters from 303 to 573 K were measured by temperature-dependent XRD.

The effect of annealing temperature and external stress on the thermal expansion of a Ti–23Nb–0.7Ta–2Zr alloy were investigated by means of thermal expansion tests under constant load and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Negative thermal expansion (NTE), which is a shrinkage during heating, was observed in both a cold rolled and annealed specimens. The intensity of (200)β peak decreased while that of (211)β peak increased as the annealing temperature increased. The difference in expansion rate between 50 °C and 250 °C is found to decrease with an increasing annealing temperature from 600 °C to 800 °C, above which it kept almost constant. The expansion rate decreased as the applied stress increased.
