Three series of NiMgCuZn ferrites were prepared by conventional double sintering ceramic process. The formation of single phase in these ferrites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. A brief review of the important investigations carried out on the internal friction behaviour of NiMgCuZnFe2O4, in the temperature range 40oC to 360oC, has been reported. In the present investigation, the composite piezoelectric resonator method has been used. The effect of compositional changes of ferrites on Curie temperature and internal friction are reported. Results and discussions on the temperature variation of internal friction of the three series of NiMgCuZnFe2O4samples are discussed. In all the series studied, only single stress induced relaxation peaks are observed. These studies were carried out to develop a ferrite composition for their use as core materials for microinductor applications. The results are explained in the light of structural phase transitions.

Abstract The structures of the equiatomic stannides RERhSn with the smaller rare earth elements Y, Gd-Tm and Lu were reinvestigated on the basis of temperature-dependent single crystal X-ray diffraction data. GdRhSn crystallizes with the aristotype ZrNiAl at 293 and 90 K. For RE = Y, Tb, Ho and Er the HP-CeRuSn type (approximant with space group R3m) is already formed at room temperature, while DyRhSn adopts the HP-CeRuSn type below 280 K. TmRhSn and LuRhSn show incommensurate modulated variants with superspace groups P31m(1/3; 1/3; γ) 000 (No. 157.1.23.1) (γ = 3/8 for TmRhSn and γ = 2/5 for LuRhSn). The driving force for superstructure formation (modulation) is a strengthening of Rh–Sn bonding. The modulation is expressed in a 119Sn Mössbauer spectrum of DyRhSn at 78 K through line broadening.

The influences of the substitution of Ni with Mg on crystallographic and magnetic properties of the intermetallic alloys LaNi5-xMgx (x ≤ 0.4) were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that all samples were of single phase, and the lattice parameters, a and c, decreased slightly upon chemical doping. LaNi5 is well known as an exchange-enhanced Pauli paramagnet. Interestingly, in LaNi5-xMgx, the ferromagnetic order existed even with a small amount of dopants; the Curie temperature reached the value of room temperature for x = 0.2, and enhanced with increasing x.

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 pressure on DL-alanine has been studied by X-ray powder diffraction (up to 8.3 GPa), single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy (up to ∼ 6 GPa). No structural phase transitions have been observed. At ∼ 1.5–2 GPa, cell parameters b and c become accidentally equal to each other, but the space-group symmetry does not change. There is no phase transition between 1.7 and 2.3 GPa, contrary to what has been reported earlier [Belo et al. (2010). Vibr. Spectrosc. 54, 107–111]. The presence of the second phase transition, which was claimed to appear within the pressure range from 6.0 to 7.3 GPa (Belo et al., 2010), is also argued. The changes in the Raman spectra have been shown to be continuous in all the pressure ranges studied.

We have investigated the microstructure and compositional distribution of the Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 9−x single phase superconductor with scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion x-ray spectrometry and x-ray diffraction. It has been found that the micro-region compositions are far front the ideal values, especially the yttrium content is quite higher than the suspected amount in the interfacial region. between crystalline grains. We propose that there might be another structural phase co-existed with the Y 1 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 9−x compound and it can not be distinguished from the main phase with diffraction methods. This phase would influence the properties, in particular the critical current density jc of the new superconductor.
