A new aluminum silicon oxycarbonitride, (Al5.8Si1.2)(O1.0C3.5N1.5), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). The title compound is hexagonal with space group P63/mmc and unit-cell dimensions a=0.322508(4) nm, c=3.17193(4) nm and V=0.285717(6) nm3. The atom ratios of Al:Si and those of O:C:N were, respectively, determined by EDX and EELS. The initial structural model was successfully derived from the XRPD data by the direct methods and further refined by the Rietveld method. The crystal is most probably composed of four types of domains with nearly the same fraction, each of which is isotypic to Al7C3N3 with space group P63mc. The existence of another new oxycarbonitride (Al6.6Si1.4)(O0.7C4.3N2.0), which must be homeotypic to Al8C3N4, has been also demonstrated by XRPD and TEM. 相似文献
Polycarbonate (PC)/vapor‐grown carbon fiber (VGCF™) composite was prepared through melt compounding. It was unexpectedly found from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) that the crystallization of PC was substantially accelerated in the presence of the ordered graphite surface of VGCF™. To make an aligned structure of PC crystallization together with the orientation of VGCF™, a magnetic field of 2.4 T was applied to the composite under several temperature profiles. The WAXD pattern revealed that not only dispersed VGCF™ but also matrix PC crystallization was magnetically aligned through the optimization of processes. The evidence for PC crystallization by VGCF™ with and without magnetic force is described.
