The crystalline structures of B-type carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) powders sintered at 700, 900 and 1100°C, respectively, were studied by Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. A series of structure parameters, including lattice parameters (a and c), bond length and the distortion index of PO4 tetrahedron (Dind) were calculated by Rietveld method to characterize the fine structure of CHA. The broadening effect of XRD reflections was separated to calculate the micro-strain and crystalline size. The results showed that CHA become more stable with the increase of sintering temperature, but the CO3 2- is almost lost at temperature of 1100°C. The quantitative results about crystal structure of CHA based on crystalline structure simulated by Rietveld method are obtained.

Abstract In this paper, tricalcium disilicate was formed from dicalcium silicate compound powder, synthesised via a mechanochemical technique using a stoichiometric 2CaO:1SiO2. Compound CaO and SiO2 were derived from the bio-waste of eggshell and rice husk at the calcination temperature of 900°C and 800°C, respectively. The dicalcium disilicate powder was sintered for 2 hours at different temperatures ranging from 1150°C to 1350°C. Using X-ray diffraction with Rietveld analysis, it was found that the amount of tricalcium disilicate with monoclinic (beta) crystal structure increases on sintering temperature at the expense of dicalcium silicate. The complete formation of single-phase tricalcium disilicate began at a sintering temperature of 1300°C. The effect of sintering temperatures on the crystallisation and phase transition of dicalcium silicate is reported. The size of crystallites depends on the sintering temperature. The finding of this study rebound to the benefit of society by reducing the risk-off pollution cause by accessive redundant bio-waste eggshell and rice husk and also reduced the amount of CaO and SiO2 used in the fabrication of Ca3Si2O7.

BaBi4-xLaxTi4O15 (BBLT) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid phase sintering ceramics processing technology. The crystal structure and the microstructure were detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD analyses show that La3+ ions doping did not change the crystal structure of BBT ceramics. The sintering temperature increased from 1120°C to 1150°C with increasing Lanthanum content from 0 to 0.5, but it widened the sintering temperature range from 20°C to 50°C and refined the grain size of the BBT ceramic. Additionally, polarization treatment was performed and finally piezoelectric property was measured. As a result, the piezoelectric constant d33 of the 0.1at.% doped BBLT ceramics reached its highest value about 22pc/N at polarizing electric field of 8kV/mm and polarizing temperature of 120°C for 30min.

As a research object, the samples with various Ba/Ti ratios (Ba/Ti=0.95~1.05) were synthesized by solid phase reaction method. Effect of sintering temperatures and Ba/Ti ratio on dielectric properties and crystal structure of BaTiO3ceramic were investigated. Crystal structure and crystal phase composition were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The dielectric properties were studied by Agilent 4294A at 1 kHz. The results show that the BaTiO3ceramic has high permittivity and dielectric loss at 1340°C. The permittivity of BaTiO3ceramic with Ba/Ti=0.95 change small as the sintering temperatures vary at 1320°C. With the increasing of Ba/Ti ratio, the Curie temperature first increases and then decreases as the sample sintering at 1320°C. When Ba/Ti=1, the Curie temperature increase with the sintering temperature increasing.

Nanocrystalline CaTiO3 powders doped with Fe2O3 have been prepared using a soft chemical route. Precipitation of CaTiO3 nanocrystals has been studied by monitoring the exothermic peak in their DSC spectra. The crystal growth temperature of the samples depends on the concentration of iron. Surface morphology, crystal structure, optical and electrical properties of the nanostructures are investigated. X-ray diffraction study shows that the as-prepared powders are amorphous in nature and CaTiO3 phase formation starts at around 500 0C. Rietveld analysis revealed that the particle size of iron substituted CaTiO3 is in nanometer range. Optical bandgap of the nanostructures varies from 4.3 to 3.7 eV for the variation of iron concentration from 0.05 to 0.2 mole %.

Abstract Clays obtained from nature have a lot of impurities. Therefore, for best using of these materials, it is necessary its selection and purification. Thus, the aim of this work is to separate and to purify the smectite fractions using water as a solvent at a low flux mixed with a bentonite clay extracted from a mine in Vitória da Conquista - Bahia / Brazil. For this a separation method of fractions of expandable clays based on the Stokes' Law was applied - this process is called elutriation, in order to ensure and to expand possible industrial applications of this material. The samples were characterized by analysis of X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy. The Rietveld method enabled the quantification of main phase minerals: montmorillonite, kaolinite, nontronite and quartz, reaching 85% in mass of montmorillonite phase at the end of the process. Results showed that the method used was efficient to remove almost all quartz, carbonates and organic matter from the sample. It was also observed a monomodal grain size distribution of elutriated materials with thinner grains, around (18.1 ± 1.8) μm at the end of the process. It has been concluded that the method developed and applied showed promising characters to be applied to elutriate kilograms of clays and could be used in industrial scale.

A new semi-empirical approximation for the asymmetry function to be used in the X-ray Rietveld analysis has resulted in lower values of the so-called goodness-of-fit index, defined as S = Rwp/Rexp, where Rwp is the R-weighted pattern and Rexp is the R-expected [R. A. Young, The Rietveld Method (Oxford U.P., Oxford, 1993)], with respect to the corresponding values obtained with the classical approximation used by Rietveld in his fundamental paper. A comparing test of the two asymmetry functions was carried out for the cubic Y2O3 and for αAl2O3 using either pseudo-Voigt or Pearson VII symmetrical functions and two diffractometers. As in the case of the Rietveld approximation, the present one, which employs an exponential function, is optimized using only one fitting parameter. Experimentally, the asymmetry can be considerably diminished by using Soller slits with a small opening angle (≤2°).

Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHA) attracts particular interest due its enhanced bioactivity compared with pure hydroxyapatite. In this study we seek to clarify the effects on the lattice parameters of both composition and sintering temperature in experimentally-produced HA and 0.8wt% SiHA, 1.5wt% SiHA and 2.0wt% SiHA sintered at 800oC and 1200oC. X ray diffraction was used to determine the phase purity and crystallographic structure. We found that while the c parameter increased with increasing silicon concentration, the a parameter decreased with initial silicon incorporation then recovered with further increases in silicon incorporation. The calcium (2) channel expanded with silicon incorporation while tetrahedron distortion index (TDI) and the radius of the P channel showed a similar dependence on silicon content as the a parameter.

ABSTRACTMg(NH2)2-LiH system which have the properties of reversible hydrogenation and dehydrogenation is one of the promising candidates for new hydrogen storage materials. For understanding of the reversible reaction mechanism, we investigated the crystal structure changes in 3Mg(NH2)2-12LiH system using the pressure-composition (p-c) isotherm measurement and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The sample was prepared by the hydrogenation of Mg3N2 + 4Li3N. At the several dehydrogenation stages of the p-c isotherm measurement at temperature 523 K, the sample was taken out and X-ray diffraction measurement was performed. By the amount of desorbed hydrogen, the reaction was expressed as the following formula, Mg(NH2)2 + 4LiH → LixMg(NH2)2-x(NH)x + (4-x)LiH + xH2 (x = 0∼2). The crystal structures of LixMg(NH2)2-x(NH)x, similar to CaF2-type one, formed during the dehydrogenation reaction were determined by Rietveld analysis. As a result, it is considered that the dehydrogenation process might relate to the diffusion of Li+ ion in cation sites of Mg(NH2)2.
