High temperature phase transformations in EUROFER reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) steel were studied in-situ by means of X-ray diffraction. Results show that, during slow cooling, the austenite to ferrite transformation takes place around 755 oC. Full transformation of the austenitic phase into pure martensite is observed for cooling above 5 oC/min. This transformation was found in samples annealed at 950 oC for 3 h and quenched in liquid nitrogen. TEM analyses reveal a high concentration of carbides along the grain boundaries of the martensitic structure. The thermal expansion coefficient derived from the measurements was 12.7x10-6 K-1.

Quasicrystals are aperiodic long-range ordered solids with a high potential for many modern applications. Interest is nowadays paid to the development of economically viable large-scale synthesis procedures of quasicrystalline materials involving solid-state transformations. The kinetics of the high-temperature phase transition from the complex ω-phase to the icosahedral quasicrystalline (iQC) ψ-phase in AlCuFe nanopowders was here examined by in-situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction experiments using synchrotron radiation. In-situ XRD experiments will allow insight on the influence of uniaxial applied pressure on the kinetics of phase transitions leading to the formation of single-phase QC nanopowders and further contribute to the optimization of sintering procedures for nano-quasicrystalline AlCuFe alloy powders.

The dehydration and decomposition of South African pyrophyllite were studied in the pressure range 2.5–5.0 GPa and in the temperature (T) range 295–1473 K using both in situ electrical conductivity measurements and X-ray diffraction studies on the recovered samples. Activation energies for conduction (Qc) vary in the range 0.02–0.07 eV for T ≤ 500 K where the dominant conduction mode is electronic, and Qc is in the range 1.10–1.28 eV for T ≥ 500 K where ionic conduction dominates. Abrupt changes in the isobaric temperature dependence of conductivity mark the onset of dehydration and subsequent decomposition into kyanite plus quartz–coesite. At 2.5 GPa, South African pyrophyllite forms the dehydroxylate phase at 760 K with a pressure dependence of ~30 K/GPa and complete decomposition follows at 1080 K with a pressure dependence of ~41 K/GPa. The resulting pressure–temperature phase diagram is in very good agreement with many previous studies at 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

[(CH3)3PH]3[Sb2Cl9] experiences four phase transitions which were found by means of calorimetry, thermogravimetry and X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure was solved in the space group P63/mmc at 382 K (phase I), Pnam at 295 K (phase II) and Pna21 at 175 K (phase V). We observed an unusual increase in symmetry from the monoclinic to the orthorhombic form at the IV\rightarrowV transition. The parent hexagonal high-temperature phase I consists of highly disordered [(CH3)3PH]+ cations and [Sb2Cl9]3− anions with an octahedral environment of SbIII. The transition from phases I to II is associated with the ordering of [(CH3)3PH]+ cations. Moreover, the successive transformations from phases I to V are related to the change in the arrangement of Cl atoms in [Sb2Cl9]3− anions from the discrete `face-sharing bioctahedra' (phase I) to two corner-sharing square pyramids. A mechanism for the phase transitions is proposed. It is observed that weak C—H...Cl interactions are responsible for the structure arrangement in low-temperature phases.

The linear thermal-expansion coefficients of yttrium silicate Y2SiO5, [Y2(SiO4)O] were measured in the temperature range from 20 to 1400 °C using x-ray diffraction. The anomalous behavior of thermal expansion was observed above Tc = 850 °C and was attributed to the displacive phase transformation. The transformation was reversible and resulted from the local order °C the compositional disorder and local fluctuation in the elastic free energy constrained a secondary transformation related to the polymorphic twin transformation. This created an additional peak in x-ray diffraction patterns at 2 's intensity. The characteristic of phase transformation both on heating and on cooling of the sample was also investigated using the differential thermal analysis method. The thermogravimetric technique did not indicate on a change of weight at Tc.

Binary compound Y3Fe29cannot be directly formed by rare earth Y and Fe and the third element M (non-iron transition elements) must be introduced to form ternary compound Y3(Fe,M)29. In this work, six alloys with compositions of the Y3Fe29-xCrx(x=1,2,3,4,5,6) were prepared and investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The study on the thermal stability of these compounds points to that the compoundY3(Fe,Cr)29is a high temperature phase and exists above 1100K. The alloys with single-phase of Y3(Fe,Cr)29was decomposed into Y2(Fe,Cr)17and Y(Fe,Cr)12annealed at high temperature 1100K.
