The use of ultra-bright, highly directional, high and variable energy associated to synchrotron radiation beams at SPring-8 when compared with conventional X-Ray diffraction analysis applied to slate powders heat treated at temperatures in the range of 600°C up to 1000°C is reported. Fe K-edge XAFS measurements of the products formed upon heating slate showed that in the temperature range 600-800°C, conversion of FeO present in the as-received slate powder into a mixed -Fe2O3/-Fe2O3 has occurred providing useful information on the short-range order atomic structure of the slate. Above 800°C, mainly -Fe2O3 was identified to be present in the slate. The change of the Fe valences within the slate network is most likely responsible for the detected colour change with the increasing temperature.

Abstract At temperatures just above the melting point molten Selenium seems to be a mixture of long chains and eight-membered rings. With increasing temperature the number of rings and the average chain length decrease. At 460 °C the average chain length lies in the range of 10 atoms.In a slightly supercooled Tellurium-melt the number of first neighbours is two. The atoms are arranged in chains. Selenium rich Se-Te-alloy-melts are built up of mixed chains. It seems to be possible, that a smaller part of atoms forms Se6Te2 rings. At Tellurium concentrations higher than approximately 50 at.-% the chainlike structure with two next nearest neighbours changes to a disturbed Arsen-like short range order. The number of electrons in the first coordination shell, the short range order parameter introduced by Cowley and the partial coordination numbers show that Se-Te-alloys are of the "solution system" type, but in the whole concentration range for each atom there is a tendency to have "strange coordination".

Anorthite and gehlenite crystalline structure and short-range order of anorthite melt have been studied by X-ray diffraction in the temperature range from room temperature up to ~ 1923 K. The corresponding anorthite and gehlenite phases were identified as well as amorphous component for anorthite samples having identical shape to XRD pattern of the anorthite melt. The structure factor and the radial distribution function of atoms of the anorthite melt were calculated from the X-ray high-temperature experimental data. The partial structural parameters of the short-range order of the melt were reconstructed using Reverse Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract Neutron scattering results on Se1-xTex melts (x = 0.3, 0.6, 0.8) obtained at 460 °C are combined with earlier X-ray diffraction data. The behaviour of the number and distance of nearest neighbours is discussed with respect to chemical short-range order and transition from twofold to three-fold coordination. For Se70Te30 the radial concentration correlation function 4πr2 ρcc(r) has been evaluated. It shows clearly the preferred formation of unlike pairs (Se-Te) within the chains.

ABSTRACTA new method of preparing amorphous solids is presented. X-ray diffraction, thermal stability and Mgssbauer spectroscopy give evidence for an atomic structure with reduced short–range order in Si75Auz5 and Pd72FeloSil8 alloys prepared by this method.

ABSTRACTMaximum undercooling results for the icosahedral phase (i-phase), polytetrahedral C14 Laves phase, and solid solution phases are presented as a function of composition in Ti-Zr-Ni liquids. Containerless processing was achieved using the electrostatic levitation facility located at NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center. The maximum reduced undercooling decreases with increasing icosahedral short-range order in the ordered phase. The first synchrotron x-ray diffraction data from aerodynamically levitated liquids of Ti-Zr-Ni alloys suggest an icosahedral short-range order in the liquids, supporting Frank's hypothesis, correlating icosahedral order in the liquid with the nucleation barrier to the crystal phase. The strong negative heats of mixing between Ti/Zr and Ni and their relative atomic sizes likely favor the formation of this local icosahedral order.
