The orthorhombic semi-conducting compound GeS0.25Se0.75 and GeS0.75Se0.25 possess interesting electrical properties and can been the subject of numerous investigations. The changes in solids under high pressure can reveal several new features of interatomic forces, which are responsible for their diverse physical properties. Authors have carried out growth of GeS0.25Se0.75 and GeS0.75Se0.25 crystals by Direct Vapor Transport (DVT) technique. For compositional confirmation energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX) has been used. EDAX results show that the grown crystals are nearly stoichiometrycally perfect. The grown crystals have been characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (using Philips X Pert MPD diffractometer) for structural characterization. These crystals are crystallized in orthorhombic structure. The values of lattice parameters, unit cell volume and X-ray density are calculated and presented. It is observed from lattice parameters, unit cell volume and X-ray density, that as the content of sulfur increases the value of all the lattice parameters decreases. High pressure study is also of great importance to visualize the mechanism governing the structural changes and to reveal solid state properties associated with different structure. For the room temperature measurement of resistance as a function of pressure, up to 7 GPa, the sample was set at the centre of the talc disc on the lower anvil. The pressure was generated by a hydraulic press on the Bridgman type tungsten carbide opposed anvil apparatus with in-situ Bismuth pressure calibration. The resistance was measured in several independent runs on these crystals as a function of pressure and was found to be reproducible. The results of variation of electrical resistance do not show presence of any phase transition up to 7 GPa. We investigate in GeS0.25Se0.75 and GeS0.75Se0.25 single crystals that as sulfur content increases, resistance of this compound increases.

Synthesis of Pt/CNT composite by using sol gel method has been performed which the composition of CNT on the composite are vary, (x = 20, 40, 60 and 80 wt%). Performance of composite was characterized by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), respectively. In the refinement results of X-ray diffraction pattern, the composite consists of two phases, namely, carbon and platinum phases. Carbon phase has a structure hexagonal (P 63 m c) with lattice parameters a = b = 2.451(2) Å and c = 6.89(1) Å, α = β = 90° and γ = 120°, the unit cell volume of V = 35.8(1) A3, and the atomic density of ρ = 2.224 g.cm-3. While platinum phase has the structure of cubic (F m -3 m) with lattice parameters a = b = c = 3.921(2) Å, α = β = γ = 90°, the unit cell volume of V = 60.3(1) A3, and the atomic density of ρ = 21.487 g.cm-3.According to the image of TEM, the average particle size for Pt nano particle is estimated to range from 4.1-4.3 nm. While the cavity diameter average of CNT is estimated to range from 5.9-7.5 nm. Based on the calculation, the crystallite size of the Pt particle was around 4.31 nm. The optimum value of dispersed Pt into CNT occurred at 60 wt% CNT with the best composition of Pt in the unit cell of cystal structure. We concluded that this study successfully dispersed Pt nanoparticles onto CNT formed Pt/CNT composite. This was a great opportunity that the composite can be applied as electrocatalyst system on fuel cell application.

AbstractThe Debye-Scherrer technique and filtered Cu Kα, radiation were used to obtain powder data for reflections to an angle of 2θ = 155°; a vertical scanning diffractometer was used to obtain intensity data to an angle of 2θ = 99°. The space group is with Z = 4. The lattice parameters of the tetragonal unit cell were measured to be a = 6.189 (1) Å and c = 12.391 (1) Å with c/a = 2.002 The unit cell volume was calculated as U = 474.6 (2) Å3 and the X-ray density as Dx = 6.07 ± 0.003 gm cm−3. By comparing measured and theoretical intensity values, the sublattice distortion parameter x was estimated to be x = 0.227 (12).

Systematic studies of x-ray diffraction(XRD), superconductivity and Mössbauer effect on Fe x Cu 1-x Ba 2 YCu 2 O 7+y ( x =0.00~0.70) superconductors synthesized by high pressure (HP) were summarized. All the HP-samples have tetragonal structure, smaller lattice parameter c and unit-cell volume than the AM-samples (synthesized by ambient pressure). The HP-samples have higher oxygen content than the AM-samples. Moreover, for the HP-sample with x =0.5, all of the Fe located in the CuO x chains have fivefold-oxygen coordination.

Intermetallic compounds of Dy2Fe16Ga1−xNbx (x = 0.0 to 1.00) were synthesized by arc melting. Samples were investigated for structural, magnetic, and hyperfine properties using X-ray diffraction, vibration sample magnetometer, and Mossbauer spectrometer, respectively. The Rietveld analysis of room temperature X-ray diffraction data shows that all the samples were crystallized in Th2Fe17 structure. The unit cell volume of alloys increased linearly with an increase in Nb content. The maximum Curie temperature Tc ~523 K for x = 0.6 sample is higher than Tc = 153 K of Dy2Fe17. The saturation magnetization decreased linearly with increasing Nb content from 61.57 emu/g for x = 0.0 to 42.46 emu/g for x = 1.0. The Mössbauer spectra and Rietveld analysis showed a small amount of DyFe3 and NbFe2 secondary phases at x = 1.0. The hyperfine field of Dy2Fe16Ga1−xNbx decreased while the isomer shift values increased with the Nb content. The observed increase in isomer shift may have resulted from the decrease in s electron density due to the unit cell volume expansion. The substantial increase in Tc of thus prepared intermetallic compounds is expected to have implications in magnets used for high-temperature applications.

The compounds R 1-x Pr x Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-y ( R = Sm , Gd , Er , Tm and Y ) have been prepared and examined for superconductivity and structural changes. It is observed that the superconducting transition temperature Tc of R 1-x Pr x Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-y decreases monotonically with increasing Pr concentration for all systems. At constant Pr concentration, Tc decreases approximately linearly with increasing radius with R cations while the lattice constants a,b,c and unit cell volume V increase. The correlation of both the Tc and the lattice constants with the radius of R cations is the same as for 1:2:4, 2:4:7, and 1:2:1:2 compounds.

ABSTRACTAlloys of the CuAlS2 – CuFeS2 system were prepared by thermobaric treatment at high pressure of 5.5 GPa and temperatures ranging from 573 to 1573 K and phase formation in the system was investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The unit-cell parameters (the lattice constants and the unit-cell volume) were computed as a function of the composition. Absence of complete solubility in the (CuAlS2)1-x-(CuFeS2)x system was established. Formation of solid solutions with the tetragonal structure of chalcopyrite was detected for compositions with the molar part of CuFeS2 x not exceeding 0.10.
