Al-Ni-Y三元共晶合金高压凝固组织

利用光学显微镜,扫描电镜,X射线衍射仪对不同压力(2,4,6 GPa)下凝固的Al-1Ni-3Y(%,原子分数)共晶合金组织形貌和相组成进行研究,并且与常压条件下合金凝固组织进行对比。实验结果表明,与常压凝固相比,在超高压力条件下凝固的合金的显微组织形貌发生了很大的改变,但是合金的相组成没有发生变化。常压凝固的合金具有共晶团组织,而高压下凝固的合金具有枝晶状亚共晶组织。高压凝固合金显微组织中出现了大量的初生α-Al相,这表明高压条件下凝固的合金共晶点发生偏移,使得常压共晶成分的合金在高压下变成亚共晶成分合金。同时,共晶组织的形貌发生了很大变化,常压下凝固的合金的组织为Al3Y相与α-Al相形成的菊花状的二元共晶和Al23Ni6Y4相与α-Al相形成的层片状的二元共晶,而高压下这两种共晶组织逐渐转化为离异共晶组织。随着压力的增大,共晶第二相的体积分数减小,α-Al的晶格常数增加。     

Solid + liquid equilibria of (n-alkane + cyclohexane) mixtures at high pressures

Solid+liquid equilibria (SLE) of [n-alkanes (tridecane, hexadecane, octadecane, or eicosane) + cyclohexane] at very high pressures up to about 1.0 GPa have been investigated in the temperature range from 293 to 363 K using a thermostated apparatus for the measurements of transition pressures from the liquid to the solid state in two component isothermal solutions. The freezing temperature of each mixture increases monotonously with increasing pressure. The eutectic point of the binary systems shifts to a higher temperature and to a higher n-alkane concentration with increasing pressure. The pressure–temperature–composition relation of the high-pressure solid–liquid equilibria, a polynomial based on the general solubility equation at atmospheric pressure, was satisfactorily used. Additionally, the SLE of the binary system (tridecane+cyclohexane) at normal pressure was measured by the dynamic method. The results at high pressure for all systems were compared to that at normal pressure.     

Phase diagram of the B-B2O3 system at 5 GPa: experimental and theoretical studies

X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation has been used to study in situ the chemical interaction of beta-rhombohedral boron with boron (III) oxide and phase relations in the B-B2O3 system at pressures up to 6 GPa in the temperature range from 300 to 2800 K. The B-B2O3 system has been thermodynamically analyzed, and its equilibrium phase diagram at 5 GPa has been constructed. Only one thermodynamically stable boron suboxide, B6O, exists in the system. It forms eutectic equilibria with boron and B2O3.     

Application of principal component analysis and Raman spectroscopy in the analysis of polycrystalline BaTiO3 at high pressure

The principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to Raman spectra of polycrystalline BaTiO(3) under pressure from atmospheric pressure to approximately 6.72 GPa. For the system utilized, PCA was able to distinguish spectral features and to determine the phase transition pressure: tetragonal to cubic at approximately 2.0 GPa. The present study demonstrates the potentialities of the application of PCA to the investigation on phase transitions at high pressure by Raman spectroscopy.     

Experimental study of the dehydration reactions gypsum-bassanite and bassanite-anhydrite at high pressure: indication of anomalous behavior of H(2)O at high pressure in the temperature range of 50-300 degrees C

The system CaSO(4)-H(2)O, characterized by the three dehydration reactions gypsum-anhydrite, gypsum-bassanite, and bassanite-anhydrite, was reexamined by in situ differential pressure analysis in the temperature range of 60-350 degrees C up to 3.5 GPa pressure. The investigation revealed a fine structure in the dehydration boundaries of gypsum-bassanite and bassanite-anhydrite, each characterized by three inflections at 0.9-1.0, 1.9-2.0, and 2.6-28 GPa. In addition, the phase transition of anhydrite high pressure anhydrite (monazite structure) was established for the first time at high P-T conditions intersecting the bassanite-anhydrite dehydration boundary at 2.15 GPa250 degrees C. Furthermore, the triple point gypsum-bassanite-anhydrite was redetermined with 235 MPa80.5 degrees C. The evaluation of the gypsum-bassanite dehydration boundary with respect to the volume and entropy change of the reaction, DeltaV(react) and DeltaS(react), by means of the Clausius-Clapeyron relation yields for the entropy parameter an unusually large increase over the range of the noted inflections. This is interpreted as anomalous entropy behavior of H(2)O related presumably to a dramatic increase in fluctuations of the hydrogen network of the liquid leading possibly into a new structural state. The effect is strongly related to the three noted pressure levels of 0.9-1.0, 1.9-2.0, and 2.6-28 GPa. In a synopsis of data including also a previous high pressure study in the temperature range between 0 and 80 degrees C, a tentative P-T diagram of H(2)O is proposed.

高压下两种8-羟基喹啉络合物的发光行为和结构变化

测定了在高压条件下两种金属（钙和锌）的8 羟基喹啉络合物的晶体粉末样品的发光行为和原位X光衍射光谱.结果表明,压力对其发光性质产生极大的影响.随着压力的增加,8 羟基喹啉钙的发光强度在3 GPa以内时大大增加,随后发光强度快速下降,到7 GPa左右时几乎为零.而8 羟基喹啉锌的发光强度随压力的增加而逐渐降低,到7 GPa左右时约为常压的10％.高压下的原位X光衍射结果表明,8 羟基喹啉钙的晶体在3～4 GPa开始 发生非晶化相变,在7 GPa时该非晶化相变完成,样品的X光衍射完全消失.而8 羟基喹啉锌在压力的作用下（至16 GPa）没有发生明显的相变.     

Phase changes of CO2 hydrate under high pressure and low temperature

High pressure and low temperature experiments with CO(2) hydrate were performed using diamond anvil cells and a helium-refrigeration cryostat in the pressure and temperature range of 0.2-3.0 GPa and 280-80 K, respectively. In situ x-ray diffractometry revealed that the phase boundary between CO(2) hydrate and water+CO(2) extended below the 280 K reported previously, toward a higher pressure and low temperature region. The results also showed the existence of a new high pressure phase above approximately 0.6 GPa and below 1.0 GPa at which the hydrate decomposed to dry ice and ice VI. In addition, in the lower temperature region of structure I, a small and abrupt lattice expansion was observed at approximately 210 K with decreasing temperature under fixed pressures. The expansion was accompanied by a release of water content from the sI structure as ice Ih, which indicates an increased cage occupancy. A similar lattice expansion was also described in another clathrate, SiO(2) clathrate, under high pressure. Such expansion with increasing cage occupancy might be a common manner to stabilize the clathrate structures under high pressure and low temperature.     

High Pressure Behavior of Mercury Cyanamide HgCN2

Using the diamond anvil cell technique, angle‐dispersive X‐ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were employed to study the high pressure behavior of mercury cyanamide. Its decomposition under pressure starts at 1.9 GPa and is not completed even up to 10 GPa. The decomposition product α‐Hg transforms to β‐Hg during 7–10 GPa, while the C/N residual is not detectable by X‐ray diffraction. The zero pressure bulk modulus of mercury cyanamide is estimated as 38.5 GPa.     

Emergence of a new feature in the high pressure-high temperature relaxation spectrum of tri-propylene glycol

We investigated dielectric relaxation of a tri-propylene glycol system under high compression. By increasing temperature and pressure we observed that a new relaxation process emerges from the low frequency tail of the structural peak. This new peak starts to be visible at about 0.5 GPa and becomes clearly evident at 1.7 GPa. However, this additional peak merges again with the structural one as the glass transition is approached, since it has a weaker temperature dependence. This finding enriches the relaxation scenario of molecular glass formers confirming that the application of very high hydrostatic pressure can favor the detection of new relaxation or otherwise unresolved processes in supercooled liquid systems.     

Structural, electronic, and dynamical properties of methane under high pressure

The electronic structure and lattice dynamical properties of solid methane under high pressure have been studied based on density functional theory. We identify a cubic structure with space group of I43m below 14 GPa, the Pmn2(1) structure in the range of 14-21 GPa, and the P2(1)/c structure from 21 to 65 GPa. Our obtained Raman spectra of the P2(1)/c structure agree well with the typical Raman active modes in the available experimental data. At 65 GPa, methane undergoes a phase transition from P2(1)/c to Pnma. The structures with P2(1)/c and Pnma symmetries are insulating, and under any pressure studied methane always remains in molecular form. For Pnma phase, the orientational ordering of CH(4) molecules varies significantly at 79, 88, and 92 GPa, and by further increasing pressure the rotation of the molecules freezes and orientational ordering remains unchanged.     

Effect of crystal packing on the structures of polymeric metallocenes

The pressure dependencies of the crystal structures of the polymeric metallocenes lithium cyclopentadienide (LiCp) and potassium cyclopentadienide (KCp) have been determined by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. The decrease of the volume of LiCp by 34% up to a pressure of p = 12.2 GPa and of KCp by 23% at p = 5.3 GPa as well as the bulk moduli of K = 7.7 GPa for LiCp and 4.9 GPa for KCp indicate a high compressibility for these compounds. The crystal structures of KCp have been determined up to p = 3.9 GPa. An increase of the bend angle is found from 45 degrees at p = 0 GPa up to 51 degrees at p = 3.9 GPa. This variation is completely explained by a model invoking attractive K+ Cp- interaction and repulsive nonbonded carbon-carbon interactions. It is proposed that the bend angle in the polymeric alkali metal metallocenes is the result of the optimization of the crystal packing.

Brillouin scattering of H2O ice to megabar pressures

The sound velocity in polycrystalline ice was measured as a function of pressure at room temperature to 100 GPa, through the phase field of ice VII and crossing the ice X transition, by Brillouin scattering in order to examine the elasticity, compression mechanism, and structural transitions in this pressure range. In particular, we focused on previously proposed phase transitions below 60 GPa. Throughout this pressure range, we find no evidence for anomalous changes in compressibility, and the sound velocities and elastic moduli do not exhibit measurable discontinuous shifts with pressure. Subtle changes in the pressure dependence of the bulk modulus at intermediate pressures can be attributed to high shear stresses at these compressions. The C(11) and C(12) moduli are consistent with previously reported results to 40 GPa and increase monotonically at higher pressures.     

The disproportionation reaction phase transition,mechanical, and lattice dynamical properties of the lanthanum dihydrides under high pressure: A first principles study

The pressure-induced disproportionation reaction phase transition, mechanical, and dynamical properties of LaH₂ with fluorite structure under high pressure are investigated by performing first-principles calculations using the projector augmented wave (PAW) method. The phase transition of 2LaH₂ → LaH + LaH₃ obtained from the usual condition of equal enthalpies occurs at the pressure of 10.38 GPa for Perdew–Wang (PW91) functional and 6.05 GPa for Ceperly–Adler (CA) functional, respectively. The result shows that the PW91 functional calculations agree excellently with the experimental finding of 11 GPa of synchrotron radiation (SR) X-ray diffraction (XRD) of Machida et al. and 10 GPa of their PBE functional theoretical result. Three independent single-crystal elastic constants, polycrystalline bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, elastic anisotropy, Poisson's ratio, the brittle/ductile characteristics and elastic wave velocities over different directions dependences on pressure are also successfully obtained. Especially, the phonon dispersion curves and corresponding phonon density of states of LaH₂ under high pressure are determined systematically using a linear-response approach to density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). Our results demonstrate that LaH₂ in fluorite phase can be stable energetically up to 10.38 GPa, stabilized mechanically up to 17.98 GPa, and stabilized dynamically up to 29 GPa, so it may remain a metastable phase above 10.38 GPa up to 29 GPa, these calculated results accord with the recent X-Ray diffraction experimental finding and theoretical predictions of Machida et al.     

高温高压Li3N-hBN体系cBN转变的热力学分析

以经典热力学第二定律ΔG<0为依据,分析了静态高温高压触媒法合成立方氮化硼(cBN)过程中发生的可能反应.考虑温度和压强对反应物相体积的影响,计算了六方氮化硼(Li3N-hBN)体系中hBN+Li3N→Li3BN2,h BN→cBN及Li3BN2→Li3N+cBN反应在高温高压条件下的ΔG.结果证实,Li3BN2由Li3N与hBN在高温高压(T>1300 K,P>3.0 GPa)条件下反应得到,在cBN的合成(T=1600～1800 K,P=4.6～6.0 GPa)条件下,hBN和Li3BN2都有向cBN转化的倾向,但由hBN向cBN直接转变的反应自由能比Li3BN2分解生成cBN的反应自由能更负,反应的可能性更大.探讨了高温高压条件下立方氮化硼的转变机理。     

Formation of solid solutions in the Re-Rh system upon thermobaric treatment of nanosized metal powders

The formation of solid solutions in the Re-Rh system upon thermobaric treatment (P = 4 GPa, T = 1600°C) of nanocrystalline composite mixtures containing rhodium and rhenium is studied. The boundaries of the decomposition region of solid solutions in the Re-Rh system under high pressure are found. It is shown that they coincide with the boundaries found at normal pressure.     

Pressure-induced phase transformations in LiAlH4

The pressure-induced phase transformations in pure LiAlH4 have been studied using in situ Raman spectroscopy up to 7 GPa. The analyses of Raman spectra reveal a phase transition at approximately 3 GPa from the ambient pressure monoclinic alpha-LiAlH4 phase (P2(1)/c) to a high pressure phase (beta-LiAlH4, reported recently to be monoclinic with space group I4(1)/b) having a distorted [AlH4]- tetrahedron. The Al-H stretching mode softens and shifts dramatically to lower frequencies beyond the phase transformation pressure. The high pressure beta-LiAlH4 phase was pressure quenchable and can be recovered at lower pressures ( approximately 1.2 GPa). The Al-H stretching mode in the quenched state further shifts to lower frequencies, suggesting a weakening of the Al-H bond.     

Piezochromism in nickel salicylaldoximato complexes: tuning crystal-field splitting with high pressure

The crystal structures of bis(3-fluoro-salicylaldoximato)nickel(II) and bis(3-methoxy-salicylaldoximato)nickel(II) have been determined at room temperature between ambient pressure and approximately 6?GPa. The principal effect of pressure is to reduce intermolecular contact distances. In the fluoro system molecules are stacked, and the Ni???Ni distance decreases from 3.19?? at ambient pressure to 2.82?? at 5.4?GPa. These data are similar to those observed in bis(dimethylglyoximato)nickel(II) over a similar pressure range, though contrary to that system, and in spite of their structural similarity, the salicyloximato does not become conducting at high pressure. Ni-ligand distances also shorten, on average by 0.017 and 0.011?? for the fluoro and methoxy complexes, respectively. Bond compression is small if the bond in question is directed towards an interstitial void. A band at 620?nm, which occurs in the visible spectrum of each derivative, can be assigned to a transition to an antibonding molecular orbital based on the metal 3d(x(2)-y(2)) orbital. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations show that the energy of this orbital is sensitive to pressure, increasing in energy as the Ni-ligand distances are compressed, and consequently increasing the energy of the transition. The resulting blueshift of the UV-visible band leads to piezochromism, and crystals of both complexes, which are green at ambient pressure, become red at 5?GPa.     

Density functional theory study of high‐pressure effect on crystalline 4,4′,6,6′‐tetra(azido)hydrazo‐1,3,5‐triazine

Periodic density functional theory calculations are performed to study the hydrostatic compression effects on the structure, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of the energetic polyazide 4,4′,6,6′‐tetra(azido)hydrazo‐1,3,5‐triazine (TAHT) in the range of 0?100 GPa. At the ambient pressure, the local density approximation/Ceperley‐Alder exchange‐correlation potential parameterized by Perdew and Zunger relaxed crystal structure compares well with the experimental results. The predicted heat of sublimation is 38.68 kcal/mol, and the evaluated condensed phase of formation (414.04 kcal/mol) approximates to the experimental value. The detonation velocity and detonation pressure for the solid TAHT are calculated to be 7.44 km/s and 23.71 GPa, respectively. When the pressure is exerted less than 35 GPa, the crystal structure and geometric parameters change slightly. However, at 36 GPa, the molecular structure, band structure, and density of states change abnormally because of the azide‐tetrazole transformation that has not been observed in gas phase or polar solvents. The azido group cyclizes to form a five‐membered tetrazole ring that is coplanar with the riazine ring and contributes to a larger conjunction system. As the pressure augments further to 80 GPa, the hydrogen transfer is found and a new covalent bond H2? N9 is formed. In the studied pressure range, the band gap decreases generally except for some breaks due to the molecular transformation and drops to nearly zero at 100 GPa, which means the electronic character of the crystal changes toward a metallic system. An analysis of the electronic structure shows that an applied pressure increases the impact sensitivity of TAHT. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
