Determination of the phase boundary of GaP using in situ high pressure and high-temperature X-ray diffraction

The high pressure behavior of gallium phosphide, GaP, has been examined using the synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique in a diamond anvil cell up to 27?GPa and 900?K. The transition from a semiconducting to a metallic phase was observed. This transition occurred at 22.2?GPa and room temperature, and a negative dependence of temperature of this transition was found. The transition boundary was determined to be P (GPa)?=?22.6???0.0014?×?T (K).

In situ powder diffraction study of belite sulfoaluminate clinkering

Belite sulfoaluminate (BSA) cements have been proposed as environmentally friendly building materials, as their production may release up to 35% less CO₂ into the atmosphere when compared with ordinary Portland cement fabrication. However, their formation mechanism has not been studied in detail so far. Here, an in situ high‐temperature high‐resolution synchrotron X‐ray powder diffraction study is reported. Two types of BSA clinkers have been characterized, both containing 50–60 wt% C₂S and 20–30 wt% C₄A₃ as main phases. One type is iron‐rich and a second type (with different phase assemblage) is aluminium‐rich. Furthermore, the C₂S phase reacts slowly with water, thus activation of this compound is desirable in order to enhance the mechanical strength development of the resulting cements. To do so, iron‐rich BSA clinkers have been doped with minor amounts of B₂O₃ and Na₂O to promote stabilization of α‐forms of C₂S, which are more reactive with water. The decarbonated raw materials were loaded into Pt tubes and heated to between 973 K and 1673 K, and patterns were collected using a high‐energy synchrotron beam of wavelength λ = 0.30 Å. The thermal stability of Klein's salt in these clinkers has been clarified. Several reactions have been followed: formation and decomposition of Klein's salt, melting of aluminates and ferrite, and polymorphic transformations of dicalcium silicate: ‐C₂S →α‐C₂S. Changes in mineralogical phase assemblages at a given temperature owing to the addition of minor amounts of selected elements have also been determined.

The dehydration kinetics of gypsum at high pressure and high temperature

An in situ dehydration kinetics study of gypsum under water-saturated condition was performed in the temperature and pressure ranges of 383–423?K and 343–1085?MPa by using a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell and Raman spectroscopy. Kinetic analysis shows that the dehydration rate k increases with pressure, suggesting a negative pressure dependence on dehydration rate. The elevation of temperature can contribute to the dehydration. The n values increase with pressure, indicating that the nucleation process becomes slower relative to the growth process. According to the n values of ～1.0, the dehydration of gypsum is dominated by an instantaneous nucleation and diffusion-controlled growth mechanism. The obtained average activation volume ?V is equal to 5.69?cm³/mol and the calculated activation energy E_a and the pre-exponential factor A are 66.9?kJ/mol and 4.66?×?10⁵?s^?1. The activation energy may be dependent upon grain size, shape, temperature and pressure, and surrounding water.     

In situ synchrotron diffraction studies on the formation kinetics of jarosites

This paper reports the results of time‐resolved synchrotron powder diffraction experiments where jarosites with different K/H₃O, K/Na and Na/H₃O ratios were synthesized in situ at temperatures of 353, 368 and 393 K in order to observe the effect on kinetics and species produced. The Na/H₃O sample formed monoclinic jarosite at all three temperatures, whereas the K/H₃O and K/Na samples formed as rhombohedral jarosites at 353 K, and as mixtures of rhombohedral and monoclinic jarosites at the higher temperatures. The relative amount of the monoclinic phase increased with increase in temperature. Unit‐cell parameter changes with reaction time could be explained by changes in iron stoichiometry (samples become more stoichiometric with time) together with changes in K/H₃O and Na/H₃O ratios. The reaction kinetics have been fitted using a two‐stage Avrami model, with two different Avrami exponents corresponding to initial two‐dimensional growth followed by one‐dimensional diffusion‐controlled growth. Activation energies for the initial growth stage were calculated to be in the range 90–126 kJ mol^?1.     

Study of partial melting at high-pressure using in situ X-ray diffraction

The high-pressure melting behavior of different iron alloys was investigated using the classical synchrotron-based in situ X-ray diffraction techniques. As they offer specific advantages and disadvantages, both energy-dispersive (EDX) and angle-dispersive (ADX) X-ray diffraction methods were performed at the BL04B1 beamline of SPring8 (Japan) and at the ID27-30 beamline of the ESRF (France), respectively. High-pressure vessels and pressure ranges investigated include the Paris–Edinburgh press from 2 to 17 GPa, the SPEED-1500 multi-anvil press from 10 to 27 GPa, and the laser-heated diamond anvil cell from 15 to 60 GPa. The onset of melting (at the solidus or eutectic temperature) can be easily detected using EDX because the grains start to rotate relative to the X-ray beam, which provokes rapid and drastic changes with time of the peak growth rate. Then, the degree of melting can be determined, using both EDX and ADX, from the intensity of diffuse X-ray scattering characteristic of the liquid phase. This diffuse contribution can be easily differentiated from the Compton diffusion of the pressure medium because they have different shapes in the diffraction patterns. Information about the composition and/or about the structure of the liquid phase can then be extracted from the shape of the diffuse X-ray scattering.     

In situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction study of densification of a molecular chalcogenide glass

Structural mechanisms of densification of a molecular chalcogenide glass of composition Ge_2.5As_51.25S_46.25 have been studied in situ at pressures ranging from 1 atm to 11 GPa at ambient temperature as well as ex situ on a sample quenched from 12 GPa and ambient temperature using high-energy X-ray diffraction. The X-ray structure factors display a reduction in height of the first sharp diffraction peak and a growth of the principal diffraction peak with a concomitant shift to higher Q-values with increasing pressure. At low pressures of at least up to 5 GPa the densification of the structure primarily involves an increase in the packing of the As₄S₃ molecules. At higher pressures the As₄S₃ molecules break up and reconnect to form a high-density network with increased extended-range ordering at the highest pressure of 11 GPa indicating a structural transition. This high-density network structure relaxes only slightly on decompression indicating that the pressure-induced structural changes are quenchable.     

Structural phase transition in ferroelectric fluorine polymers: X-ray diffraction and infrared/Raman spectroscopic study

The structural phase transition has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and infrared and Raman spectroscopic measurements for ferroelectric fluorine polymers, including poly(vinylidene fluoride) and its copolymers with trifluoroethylene or tetrafluoroethylene. One of the most characteristic features of this ferroelectric transition is the large conformational change of the molecular chains between the trans and gauche rotational isomers, quite different from the structural change observed generally in the usual ionic ferroelectric materials. The crystallization and transition behaviors depend sensitively on the monomer composition in the copolymers as well as on the sample preparation conditions. The roles of the optic and acoustic phonons in the ferroelectric phase transition have been discussed based on the temperature dependences of the far-infrared spectra and the ultrasonic velocity.     

X-ray diffraction study of cholesterol-cholesteryl oleate binary mixtures

Summary The phase transitions for binary mixtures of cholesteryl oleate (CO) and cholesterol (CH) have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. The phase diagrams on heating, involving the solid-solid and solid-isotropic liquid transitions, and on cooling, involving the cholesteric and smectic mesophases, have been derived. In particular, a strong supercooling effect of liquid cholesterol and a progressive decrease of the isotropic liquid-cholesteric and cholesteric-smectic transition temperatures were observed. Moreover, some structural modifications induced in the smecticA and in the cholesteric phase by the presence of CH in CO were detected. Finally the dependence of intermolecular distance in the isotropic liquid phase was studied as a function of temperature and mixture composition.

Dehydrogenation kinetics of air-exposed MgH2/Mg2Cu and MgH2/MgCu2 studied with in situ X-ray powder diffraction

The dehydrogenation kinetics of air exposed samples of MgH₂/Mg₂Cu and MgH₂/MgCu₂ have been studied with in situ time resolved X-ray powder diffraction. The X-ray setup enabled the recording of full diffraction patterns within 150 s, thereby allowing the study of structural changes combined with simultaneous extraction of kinetic parameters. Phase fractions as a function of time and temperature were derived from series of consecutive diffraction patterns by numerical integration of selected diffraction peaks. The apparent activation energy for the dehydrogenation of the MgH₂/Mg₂Cu, and MgH₂/MgCu₂ sample was found to be 108 kJ/mol and 160 kJ/mol, respectively. Furthermore, substantially improved dehydrogenation kinetics of MgH₂ and resistance towards oxidation of Mg due to the presence of Mg₂Cu/MgCu₂ are discussed in relation to previous work.

Crystal structure and compressibility of potassium azide was investigated by in-situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell at room temperature up to 37.7 GPa. In the body-centered tetragonal (bct) phase, an anisotropic compressibility was observed with greater compressibility in the direction perpendicular to the plane containing N₃⁻ ions than directions within that plane. The bulk modulus of the bct phase was determined to be 18.6(7) GPa. A pressure-induced phase transition may occur at 15.5 GPa.
