Texture of zirconia obtained by forced hydrolysis of ZrOCl2 solutions

The structure and surface properties of ZrO₂ strongly depend on its preparation. In the present work the impact of prolonged aging at basic conditions (pH = 9, T = 100°C, t = 48 h), on the phase composition and textural properties, obtained by calcination of the precipitate, was investigated using several techniques conjointly (DTA/TG, DSC, XRD, porosimetry). The thermal effects accompanying the ZrO₂·xH₂O gel formation, the coalescence of the particles and crystallization were evaluated and discussed in terms of the structural differences between the aged and non-aged samples. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The non-isothermal devitrification of lithium germanate glasses

The non-isothermal devitrification of lithium germanate glasses, examined by DTA and XRD, is reported and discussed. The glass compositions are expressed by the general formula:xLi₂O(1?x)GeO₂ withx=0.050, 0.125, 0.167, 0.200 and 0.250. All the glasses studied, unlike GeO₂ glass, exhibit internal crystal nucleation without the addition of any nucleating agent. The devitrification processes occur in one or more steps. Phases which crystallized at each step are identified and crystallization mechanisms proposed. These crystallization mechanisms are related to structures of the crystallizing phases. Activation energy values as well as those for glass transition temperatures, do not vary linearly with increase in Li₂O content but pass through a maximum atx=0.200.     

谷氨酸钠从其水溶液中的周期结晶现象

早在本世纪初物理化学家们就已观察到，某些物质从其熔融态或溶液中结晶出来时，在某些条件下可形成周期性的宏观结晶条纹［1，2］，这就是周期结晶现象，由于这种现象和晶体生长、材料物性以及成矿过程等重要问题紧密相关，很早就引起了人们的重视．近年来有关非平衡非线性系统中自发产生各种时空有序现象（自组织现象）的各种理论（如耗散结构理论）［3］的兴起，重新引起了人们对这类现象的兴趣．八十年代，Iwamoto等先后报道了甲基苄基氨基甲酸酯（MethylMesitylcarbamate）从氯仿溶液［4］和抗坏血酸（AscorbicAcid）从甲醇溶液［5］…

Synthesis, nuclear, and magnetic structures and magnetic properties of [Mn3(OH)2(SO4)2(H2O)2

[Mn(3)(OH)(2)(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)] and its deuterated analogue were synthesized by a hydrothermal technique and characterized by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and IR spectroscopy. Its nuclear structure, determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis and Rietveld analysis of neutron powder-diffraction data, consists of a 3D network of chains of edge-sharing Mn(1)O(6), running along the c axis, connected by the apices of Mn(2)O(6) and SO(4) units. It is isostructural to the nickel analogue. Determination of the magnetic structure and measurements of magnetization and heat capacity indicate the coexistence of both magnetic long-range ordering (LRO) and short-range ordering (SRO) below a Néel temperature of 26 K, while the SRO is retained at higher temperatures. The moments of the two independent Mn atoms lie in the bc plane, and that of Mn(1) rotates continuously by 54 degrees towards the c axis on decreasing the temperature from 25 to 1.4 K. While the SRO may be associated with frustration of the moments within a Mn(3) trimer, the LRO is achieved by antiparallel alignment of the four symmetry-related trimers within the magnetic unit cell. A spin-flop field, measured by dc and ac magnetization on a SQUID, is observed at 15 kOe.     

Kinetic study of the crystallization processes of some decorative ceramic glazes

A kinetic study of the crystallization processes was performed for some decorative ceramic glazes in the PbO-SiO₂-Na₂O-K₂O-CaO(BaO)-Al₂O₃-B₂O₃ system with addition of 10% TiO₂ and ZnO. The crystallization kinetics has been studied in non-isothermal conditions using DTA technique. The apparent activation energies of the crystallization processes were calculated using the Kissinger method. The main crystalline phase, which provides the decorative effect, is rutile. This has been identified by X-ray diffraction and it is clearly visible in the optical microscopy images taken in transmitted light, as needle-like or even prismatic crystals arranged in radial-fibrous aggregates.     

New Phase in the Bi–Sr–Ca–Cu–O System

Cooling a melt of a Bi–Sr–Ca–Cu–O system (Bi:Sr:Ca:Cu = 4:3:3:4 or 2:2:2:4) from 1000°C-1050°C yielded crystals of a new red-colored nonsuperconducting phase, accompanying the superconducting 2212 and 2201 phases. Based on the EPR spectra, it was concluded that copper is univalent in this compound. The new phase has a composition Bi_2.2Sr_1.6Ca_1.3Cu₂Ox. The X-ray diffraction pattern has been indexed, and the unit cell parameters of the phase have been determined: space group P2/m, a = 12.93, b = 4.55, c = 10.94 ; = 102.72°.

Morphology and crystallization of blends of linear low density polyethylene with a semiflexible liquid crystalline polymer

The morphology and the crystallization behavior of blends of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with an experimental sample of a semiflexible liquid crystalline polymer (SBH 112 by Eniricerche, Italy) have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The blends possess a two-phase morphology, due to immiscibility of the two components. SEM observations show that dispersion of the minor SBH phase is favored at low (相似文献   

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structure Characterization of a Novel 4,4′-Bipyridine Bridging Dumbbell-like Dimeric Pentamolybdate

1 INTRODUCTION Polyoxometalates (POMs) have been attracting extensive interest of many chemists in solid-state materials chemistry owning to the various structures and great potential applications in catalysis, medi- cine, photo-electricity and magnetism[1～9]. Over the past decades, lots of novel POMs have been pre- pared by hydrothermal synthesis, such as discrete structure[10], one-dimensional chain-like structure[11, 12] and higher dimensional architecture[13～18]. However, in these…
