Phase Analysis of the Binary System of Cryolite (Na3AlF6) and Sodium Metasilicate (Na2SiO3)

The phase analysis of cryolite (Na₃AlF₆) and sodium metasilicate (Na₂SiO₃) was performed by thermal analysis. The eutectic system with a region of two immiscible substances at a concentration of Na₂SiO₃ between 42.8 and 46.3 mol‐% was identified and the eutectic temperature determined to (886±2) °C. Based on the results of mass‐loss measurements, it was assumed that the introduced Na₂SiO₃ reacts with Na₃AlF₆ due to the formation of some nonvolatile stable compounds. The stable reaction products were identified by X‐ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy of the spontaneously cooled samples, which established the formation of NaF and stable amorphous aluminosilicate compounds.     

Multilayered Cu–Ti deposition on silicon substrates for chemiresistor applications

Abstract

On the perspective to develop CuO–TiO₂ MOS, multilayered Cu and Ti thin layers were alternatively deposited on silicon wafers using 25?keV Ar?+?ion beam sputtering and, subsequently, oxidized by thermal annealing in air at 400?°C for 24?h. The deposited films have variable ratios of the Cu and Ti % at. One of the main goal is to obtain such multilayers avoiding the presence of Cu–Ti–O compounds. The samples were characterized in terms of composition (by RBS and SIMS analyses) and morphology (by AFM and SEM investigations). In particular, SIMS maps allows to observe the spatial distribution and thickness of each phase of the Cu/Ti multilayers, and further to observe Cu diffusion and mixing with Ti, as well as phase separation of CuO and TiO₂ in the samples. The reasons of this effect represent an open issue that has to investigated, in order to improve the MOS fabrication.     

Possibilities of two non-isothermal procedures (temperature- or rate-controlled) for kinetical studies

The applicability of both conventional Thermal Analysis (TA) and Controlled Rate Thermal Analysis (CRTA) for kinetic analysis is discussed. It is shown that TA method can give a reliable kinetic information and meaningful kinetic parameters especially for solid state transformation. On the other hand the CRTA method is more suitable for decomposition process where one or more gasses are evolved. A consistent and reliable method of kinetic analysis is proposed for both techniques. This method is illustrated to analyze the crystallization process of chalcogenide glass and the decomposition of dolomite.     

Antioxidants and stabilizers: Part IC—Hydroperoxide deactivation by aliphatic sulfides. A model study

The hydroperoxide decomposing efficiencies of dioctadecylsulfide (I), dioctadecyldisulfide (IV) and dioctadecyl 3,3-thio-dipropionate (VII) have been compared at 75°C and 85°C. The formation of oxidation products from (I) and (IV) has been checked. Experimental evidence is given of the important rôle of the activation of the molecule of (IV) by the presence of two sulfidic sulfur atoms compared with the activation of the sulfur atom in (VII) by the alkoxycarbonyl group in the beta position. The explanation of the high efficiency of disulfide has been based on the formation of thiosulfinate—the key intermediate for the generation of peroxidolytic species—in the first reaction step.
