高压相变已逐渐发展成为一种制备纳米/亚微米多晶陶瓷块体材料的有效方法。高压可以抑制原子的长程扩散进而抑制晶粒长大,高压下截获的新相不受初始材料晶粒尺寸的制约,通过热力学调控可以得到晶粒尺寸更小的多晶块体材料。陶瓷材料在特定热力学条件下通常会发生相变,新相的形成要经历形核、生长的过程。采用晶粒尺寸为2μm的单斜ZrO2与晶粒尺寸为50 nm的Y2O3以97:3的摩尔比混合,在5.5 GPa、800～1700℃温压区间内对初始材料进行烧结,采用X射线衍射、扫描电镜、透射电镜对所得样品进行表征。研究结果表明:高压下截获了单斜相和亚微米四方相复合的多晶ZrO2块体材料,1200、1400、1600和1700℃温度下获得的四方相的平均晶粒尺寸为(145±62) nm、(246±165) nm、(183±62) nm和(245±107) nm。利用高压相变以微米晶制备细晶粒多晶块体材料,可以避免常规方法中以纳米粉末为初始材料制备细晶粒多晶块体材料存在的团聚、吸附及晶粒长大的问题,进而发展一种以微米晶为初始材料通过高压相变制备高性能细晶粒多晶块体材料的方法。     

Thermodynamic approach to phase coexistence in ternary phospholipid-cholesterol mixtures

We introduce a simple and predictive model for determining the phase stability of ternary phospholipid-cholesterol mixtures. Assuming that competition between the liquid and gel order of the phospholipids is the main driving force behind lipid segregation, we derive a Gibbs free energy of mixing, based on the thermodynamic properties of the lipids main transition. A numerical approach was devised that enables the fast and efficient determination of the ternary diagrams associated with our Gibbs free energy. The computed phase coexistence diagram of DOPC/DPPC/cholesterol reproduces well-known features for this system at 10 °C, as well as its evolution with temperature.

Coupling of the phase-field and CALPHAD methods for predicting multicomponent,solid-state phase transformations

The development of an effective microstructure design method for multicomponent alloys is of considerable importance for improving both the design of alloys and the design of processes for producing alloys with unique properties. The coupling of the phase-field method and the calculation of phase diagrams (CALPHAD) method can be used for predicting the evolution of microstructures in multicomponent alloys. Such predictions make use of CALPHAD thermodynamic information with the chemical free energy function in the phase-field method. This article reviews several of these coupling methods, focusing on solid-state phase transformations in multicomponent systems, such as phase separation and disordered or ordered phase precipitation from a matrix. When calculating disordered phase transformations, the Gibbs energy function derived from the CALPHAD database can be used directly in the phase-field method. On the other hand, when dealing with an order/disorder transition, the degrees of freedom of the element site fraction for an ordered phase in the CALPHAD method can be reduced using the Gibbs energy single formalism for constituent phases, by using a database that stores the Gibbs energy and chemical equilibrium conditions, or by obtaining the driving force calculated using the Thermo-Calc software. The current status and future directions for further development of these coupled methods are discussed.     

Phase-field model for multiphase systems with different thermodynamic factors

A modified phase-field model for quantitative simulations of low-speed phase transitions in multiphase systems is proposed, which takes into account the difference between thermodynamic factors in all the phases. The presented model is based on the quantitative phase-field concept developed by Steinbach et al. [I. Steinbach, F. Pezolla, B. Nestler, M. Seeelberg, R. Prieler, G.J. Schmitz, J.L.L. Rezende, A phase field concept for multiphase systems, Physica D 94 (1996) 135] for multiphase systems allowing to consider the multiphase transition as a superposition of pairwise interactions between two phases. We complete this approach and develop a model, which uses parameters derived from chemical free energy functions of individual phases evaluated from experimental data by the CALPHAD method Lukas et al. (2007) [17]. Because the thermodynamic factors are different in various phases we need to evaluate a special form of total chemical free energy function of a multiphase mixture and use it in the phase-field model. It is shown, that for the developed model the thin-interface asymptotic and the anti-trapping term developed previously for the solidification of pure substances can be applied. The model is verified by an example of the Al-Ni system whose peritectic structural morphology during the directional solidification is investigated. The suggested model can be also extended to multicomponent systems.     

Phase transition and thermodynamic stability in extended phase space and charged Hořava–Lifshitz black holes

For charged black holes in Ho?ava–Lifshitz gravity, a second order phase transition takes place in extended phase space where the cosmological constant is taken as thermodynamic pressure. We relate the second order nature of phase transition to the fact that the phase transition occurs at a sharp temperature and not over a temperature interval. Once we know the continuity of the first derivatives of the Gibbs free energy, we show that all the Ehrenfest equations are readily satisfied. We study the effect of the perturbation of the cosmological constant as well as the perturbation of the electric charge on thermodynamic stability of Ho?ava–Lifshitz black hole. We also use thermodynamic geometry to study phase transition in extended phase space. We investigate the behavior of scalar curvature of Weinhold, Ruppeiner, and Quevedo metric in extended phase space of charged Ho?ava–Lifshitz black holes. It is checked if these curvatures could reproduce the result of specific heat for the phase transition.     

Thermodynamics and phase transition of topological dS black holes with a nonlinear source

We discuss black hole solutions of Einstein-Λ gravity in the presence of nonlinear electrodynamics in d S spacetime. Considering the correlation of the thermodynamic quantities respectively corresponding to the black hole horizon and cosmological horizon of dS spacetime and taking the region between the two horizons as a thermodynamic system, we derive effective thermodynamic quantities of the system according to the first law of thermodynamics, and investigate the thermodynamic properties of the system under the influence of nonlinearity parameter α. It is shown that nonlinearity parameter α influences the position of the black hole horizon and the critical state of the system, and along with electric charge has an effect on the phase structure of the system,which is obvious, especially as the effective temperature is below the critical temperature. The critical phase transition is proved to be second-order equilibrium phase transition by using the Gibbs free energy criterion and Ehrenfest equations.     

Thermodynamic theory of phase transitions in a ferroelectric binary system with morphotropic region

A thermodynamic theory of phase transitions is developed for binary ferroelectric systems with a morphotropic phase region. Ah expansion of the thermodynamic potential of a perovskite-structure ferroelectric with coefficients that depend on the temperature and concentration yields equations for the isotherms for the tetragonal and rhombohedral phases, whose stability boundaries and phase transition points are determined.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 26–29, February, 1981.     

Thermodynamic stability and phase behaviour of a liquid crystalline material: a theoretical model at molecular level

This article describes the thermodynamic stability and phase behaviour of a liquid crystalline material p-n-hexyloxybenzylidene-p-toluidine (6OBT) at a molecular level. The atomic net charge and dipole moment at each atomic centre have been evaluated using the complete neglect differential overlap (CNDO/2) method. The modified Rayleigh–Schrodinger perturbation method along with multicentred-multipole expansion method has been employed to evaluate the long-range intermolecular interactions, while a ‘6-exp’ potential function has been assumed for the short-range interactions. The total interaction energy values obtained through these computations have been used to calculate the probability of each configuration at room temperature (300?K), nematic–isotropic transition temperature (346.9?K) and above transition temperature (400?K) using the Maxwell–Boltzmann formula. Further, the Helmholtz free energy and entropy of each configuration has been computed during the different modes of interactions. An attempt has been made to understand the phase behaviour and stability of the molecule based on thermodynamic parameters introduced in this article.
