Characteristic Modes

Two-dimensional microstructures of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) were synthesized by heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ammonium acidification, followed by calcination. A solution of the precursor compound heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ammonium acidified to pH 3,5 using glacial acetic acid followed by hydrothermal treatment for 150, 180 and 200 °C for 1, 6 and 12 hours. Then, the intermediate was calcined at 300 °C for varying time 6 and 12h to obtain MoO3. X-ray diffraction revealed that the crystals grew with crystalline structure corresponding to the orthorhombic phase of MoO3 (a-MoO3) as major phase, with a preferential growth direction along the planes (0K0). Raman spectroscopy and IR confirmed the formation of the characteristic modes of molybdenum trioxide for stage found. With Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was possible to observe the formation of nanoplates.

Textured bulk YBa2Cu3Ox superconductor samples were fabricated using directional growth of superconductor grains reacted from Y2BaCuO5, BaCuO2, and CuO powder mixtures. The samples consisted of several mm long grains aligned parallel to the growth direction. The microstructure observation and x-ray diffraction analysis showed that the grains have a preferred orientation to improve critical current density.

ABSTRACTGaN layers were grown on a (001) rutile TiO2 substrate by electron cyclotron resonance plasma-excited molecular beam epitaxy. For the first time, c-GaN with a preferential growth orientation was obtained. Based on the results from electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction analysis, we found that c-GaN with the growth direction of [110] was grown on the TiO2 substrate. The formation of c-GaN was also confirmed by cathodoluminescence, in which a luminescence peak was observed at 3.24eV.

Compositional Variations

BaFeO3-y compositions (0.35<y<0.50) have been investigated by means of electron diffraction and microscopy to resolve contradictory results from powder X-ray diffraction data.The samples were obtained by annealing BaFeO2.56 for 48 h. in the temperature range from 980°C to 1050°C . Total iron and barium in the samples were determined using chemical analysis and gravimetric methods, respectively.In the BaFeO3-y system, according to the electron diffraction and microscopy results, the nonstoichiometry is accommodated in different ways as a function of the composition (y):In the domain between BaFeO2.5+δBaFeO2.54, compositional variations are accommodated through the formation of microdomains. Fig. la shows the ED pattern of the BaFeO2.52 material along thezone axis. The corresponding electron micrograph is seen in Fig. 1b. Several domains corresponding to the monoclinic BaFeO2.50 phase, intergrow with domains of the orthorhombic phase. According to that, the ED pattern of Fig. 1a, can be interpreted as formed by the superposition of three types of diffraction maxima : Very strong spots corresponding to a cubic perovskite, a set of maxima due to the superposition of three domains of the monoclinic phase along [100]m and a series of maxima corresponding to three domains corresponding to the orthorhombic phase along the [100]o.

Scherrer Equation

AbstractPreferential growth of anatase crystallites along different directions is known to deeply affect their photocatalytic properties, especially with respect to the exposure of the reactive {001} facets. Its extent can be easily quantified through simple geometric calculations, on the basis of crystal sizes extracted for specific directions by means of X-Ray Diffraction data analysis. Nevertheless, the actual results depend on the method employed for such a quantification. Here we report on a comparative morphological investigation, performed by employing the Scherrer equation and the line profile from Rietveld refinements, on shape-controlled anatase photocatalysts produced by employing HF as capping agent. Compared to the Rietveld-based method, the use of the Scherrer equation produces a systematic underestimation of crystallite dimensions, especially concerning the [100] direction, which in turn causes the percentage of exposed {001} crystal facets to be underestimated. Neglecting instrumental-related effects may further reduce the estimate.

AbstractUsing powerful synchrotron X-ray radiation of the beamline “Belok” operated by the National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute,” we perform X-ray diffraction (XRD) study of an intact, virgin (not subjected to any external mechanical loads) particle isolated from reactor powder of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene. Along with the peaks originating from the orthorhombic phase, we detect the peaks characteristic of the monoclinic phase that is stable only under mechanical stress, suggesting that the mechanical stress that leads to the formation of the monoclinic phase and persists at room temperature develops during the polymer synthesis. The monoclinic phase gradually disappears when the particle is heated stepwise in increments of 5 K, and its peaks become undetectable when the temperature reaches 340 K. We contrast the results obtained for the phase composition of the virgin particle to those for a tablet prepared by compaction of the same reactor powder at room temperature. XRD analyses of the tablet were performed on D2 Phaser (Bruker) instrument. The monoclinic phase that originates during the polymer synthesis and the one that forms in the tablet during compaction have different parameters. We discuss the mechanisms by which these two different monoclinic phases originate during the processes involved.

High purity barium titanate BaTiO3 was successfully synthesized by using the sol-gel technique. Barium acetate Ba(CH3COO)2 and tetrabutyl titanate, Ti(C4H9O)4 was dissolved moderately in the solvent of glacial acetic acid and ethanol was added as the chemical modifier. The synthesized BaTiO3 nanoparticle was calcined at the temperature range of 700 ºC to 1100 ºC. The powders were further characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fined BaTiO3 powders result indicates the phase of tetragonal structures and high crystallites of BaTiO3. It was observed that the crystallinity and particle size of BaTiO3 is greatly influenced by the calcination temperature.

we report the fabrication and microstructure of Ge-Sb-S-CsCl chalcogenide glass containing β-GeS2 nanocrystals. A Ge-Sb-S-CsCl chalcogenide base glass with the better crystalline ability is first fabricated by melt-quenching method, and a further careful thermal process has led to the formation of β-GeS2 nanocrystals in the glass. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the size of β-GeS2 nanocrystals with nearly monodisperse spherical shape ranges from 30 to 45 nm in the glass. Powder X-ray diffraction results confirm that the β-GeS2 nanocrystals are of high crystallization with orthorhombic phase. Energy dispersive spectroscopy is employed for the information of nanocrystals glass composition. It is worthwhile to note that the obtained Ge-Sb-S-CsCl chalcogenide glass containing β-GeS2 nanocrystals still keeps higher transmittance in mid- and far- infrared spectral region.

Large YBa2Cu3O7−x (Y123) single crystals (larger than 13 mm cubed) have been grown along the c-axis reproducibly by the modified pulling method. The crystallinity of Y123 single crystal was investigated by x-ray diffraction and x-ray topography. Crystals grown from an MgO single crystal seed had some low angle subgrain boundaries which tilted 0.1–0.8° from each other. These grain boundaries originated from the seed crystal, and the subgrains were extended along the growth direction from the seed crystal. Y123 single crystals with no marked subgrains in the whole area were obtained by using Y123 single subgrain crystal seeds. FWHM of the x-ray rocking curve for the crystal so produced was about 0.14°, which was much better than the spectrum consisting of several separated peaks obtained from the previous crystals. Tc onset of the annealed sample was about 93.6 K, and the transition width was about 0.9 K. The low angle subgrain boundaries did not seem to be effective pinning centers for the magnetic flux.

Distinct Temperature

Lead Hafnate undergoes two structural phase transitions as a function of temperature. The first occurs at about 1630C, consisting of a transition from an antiferroelectric orthorhombic Pbam structure [1] to another antiferroelectric orthorhombic phase with an as-yet undetermined space group. The second is to a paraelectric cubic Pm3m structure at 2090C. Dielectric spectroscopy measurements on a single crystal have shown a distinct temperature hysteresis at the orthorhombic to orthorhombic transition [2]. Recently, dielectric measurements on a ceramic sample have shown a much larger temperature hysteresis and following x-ray diffraction measurements, it is suggested that the second orthorhombic phase is in space group A2mm and undergoes another transition to a tetragonal P4mm structure before the cubic transition [3]. We report on the results of an investigation of a PbHfO3crystal using a combination of high-resolution x-ray diffraction and birefringence imaging measurements with the Metripol system. These measurements have been performed as a function of temperature from the room-temperature orthorhombic structure to the high-temperature cubic structure. The results are discussed both in the context of the published work and fundamental understanding of the origin of antiferroelectricity.

The effect of the graphene nanoplateletets (GNP), at concentration of 1, 5 and 10 wt %, in Poly ether ether ketone (PEEK) composite crystallization from melt and during cold crystallization were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and real time X-ray diffraction experiments. DSC results revealed a double effect of GNP: (a) nucleating effect crystallization from melt started at higher temperatures and (b) longer global crystallization time due to the restriction in the polymer chain mobility. This hindered mobility were proved by rheological behavior of nanocomposites, because to the increase of complex viscosity, G′, G″ with the GNP content, as well as the non-Newtonian behavior found in composites with high GNP content. Finally, real time wide and small angle synchrotron X-ray radiation (WAXS/SAXS) X-ray measurements showed that GNP has not affected the orthorhombic phase of PEEK nor the evolution of the crystal phase during the crystallization processes. However, the correlation length of the crystal obtained by WAXS and the long period (L) by SAXS varied depending on the GNP content.
