Structural transformations in amorphous selenium as studied by the differential thermal analysis and exoelectron emission technique
2007
The parameters (temperature, activation energy) of the surface and volume glass transition (retrification process) in amorphous selenium produced by rapid quenching of the liquid phase have been determined using the EEE and DTA techniques. EEE is a surface effect connected with structural transformations in the surface layer whereas the DTA measurements give the information about the transformations occurring in the volume of the sample. It has been found that the surface retrification of selenium occurs with activation energy smaller than the volume retrification, both observed in the first heating run. The value of activation energy for the volume retrification measured in the second DTA …
Effect of electrolytical hydrogenation on the thermal stability and crystallization kinetics of metallic glass Fe79Si9B12
2011
The effect of electrolytical hydrogenation on both the surface and volume crystallization kinetics and thermal stability of amorphous alloy Fe79Si9B12 has been investigated. The parameters of the surface and volume crystallization (temperature, activation energy) have been determined applying the exoelectron emission (EEE) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) methods, respectively. It has been found that the surface crystallization of investigated material occurs at temperature much lower and with activation energy smaller than the volume crystallization. The determination of the activation energies for the volume and surface crystallization by the combination of DTA and EEE techniques e…
The kinetics of phase transitions in vitreous chalcogenide semiconductors As10.2Se89.8 and As9Se90Bi in early stage of physical ageing process
2013
The kinetics of glass transition in selenide glasses As10.2Se89.8 and As9Se90Bi in early stage of physical ageing process has been investigated by parallel differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and exoelectron emission (EEE). It has been found that the glass transition process occurring in investigated glasses is evidenced by peaks on EEE intensity and DSC curves. Admixture of bismuth causes a distinct lowering of the temperature of glass transitions process both in the surface layer and in the volume. The addition of Bi causes a decrease in the value of the activation energy for glass transition process in both the volume and in the surface layer, thus reducing the thermal stability of i…

2011
Kinetics of glass transition (retrification) in chalcogenide semiconductors AsxSe100-x-yBy (x = 20 or 30, and y = 0 and 1) has been investigated by parallel differential thermal analysis (DTA) and exoelectron emission (EEE) measurements. EEE is a surface effect accompanying the structural transformations in the surface layer, whereas the DTA technique gives information about the transformations occurring in the volume of the sample. Temperature dependencies of the DTA signal and of the EEE intensity have been determined and the values of the activation energy for both the volume and the surface retrification have been determined by the Ozawa method for each of the four investigated material…
Effect of the milling conditions on the degree of amorphization of selenium by milling in a planetary ball mill
2007
The effect of the milling parameters (rotation speed of the milling device and duration of milling) on the phase composition of the products of milling of fully crystalline selenium has been investigated. The milling was conducted using a planetary micromill and the phase composition of the milling products was determined by differential thermal analysis. It has been found that ball milling leads to the partial amorphization of the starting crystalline material. The content of amorphous phase in the milling products depends, in a rather complicated way, on the milling parameters. At the milling parameters adopted in the present study, the milling product was never fully amorphous. The compl…
Investigation of the effect of intensive ball milling in a planetary ball mill on the thermal decomposition of cadmium carbonate and basic zinc carbo…
2007
The kinetics of thermal decomposition of cadmium carbonate CdCO3 and basic zinc carbonate ZnCO3?nZn(OH)2 and the effect of intensive milling in a planetary ball mill on its parameters, have been investigated. The values of the reaction heat and of the activation energies of thermal decomposition have been determined for both the compounds. Investigations of the thermal decomposition of the products of ball milling of investigated compounds revealed a slight effect of milling conditions on the reaction temperature and heat consumed during the thermal decomposition of ZnCO3?nZn(OH)2. No effect of ball milling on the thermal decomposition of CdCO3 has been found.
Phase transitions in Ag-based solid electrolytes as detected by thermosonimetry
2001
Abstract Observations of the acoustic emission accompanying the solid–solid (polymorphic) phase changes in silver iodide and silver chalcogenides were performed. It has been found that the temperature dependencies of both the number of acoustic events and their counting rate, registered when heating the investigated materials, display distinct anomalies at the temperature corresponding to the polymorphic phase transition occurring in a given substance. The phase transition temperatures determined from the position of these anomalies agree well with the results of control DSC measurements, as well as with the literature data on the temperatures of the transition of investigated materials to …
Phase transitions in some n-alkanes and petroleum waxes — investigation by photoacoustic and exoelectron emission techniques
2000
Abstract The use of the photoacoustic (PA) effect and photostimulated exoelectron emission (EEE) technique in the investigation of first- and second-order phase transitions in pure n -alkanes such as n -C 22 , n -C 28 and n -C 32 and in three petroleum waxes having different carbon number distributions, have been examined. Changes in the amplitude and phase of the PA signal with temperature and the temperature dependence of the intensity of photostimulated EEE across the phase transitions have been measured. These measurements have shown that both the polymorphic phase transitions and melting of these hydrocarbons are accompanied by jumps or peaks of the PA amplitude and phase and EEE inten…
Effect of electrolytical hydrogenation on the thermal stability and crystallization kinetics of METGLASS MBF-50
2007
The effect of electrolytical hydrogenation on both the surface and volume crystallization kinetics and thermal stability of amorphous alloy METGLASS MBF-50 has been investigated. The surface crystallization has been investigated by the exoelectron emission (EEE) technique, whereas the volume crystallization has been followed by differential thermal analysis (DTA). It has been found that both the surface and volume crystallization of investigated material occur in two stages. The surface crystallization occurs at temperature lower and with activation energy distinctly smaller than the volume crystallization. Hydrogenation of the investigated metallic glass enhances its thermal stability by i…
Relations between the cohesive energy, atomic volume, bulk modulus and sound velocity in metals
2011
By analysing the experimental data available in the literature, it has been found that the bulk modulus B of metals is proportional to the cohesive energy density Ec/V. For metals which start to melt having the close packed structure A1 or A3 the proportionality factor in the forementioned correlation is distinctly greater than that for metals melting from the A2 type structure. The existence of the correlation between the bulk modulus and the cohesive energy density leads to another, hitherto unrevealed correlation between the sound velocity, cohesive energy and the molar mass of metals: u2 ~ Ec/μ.

Investigations of the thermal decomposition of the products of ball milling of investigated compound revealed a distinct effect of milling on the reaction temperature and heat consumed during the thermal decomposition of investigated compound.
SURFACE AND VOLUME CRYSTALLIZATION OF METALLIC GLASS (Ni50Zr50)99.9P0.1 AS INVESTIGATED BY EXOELECTRON EMISSION (EEE) AND DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYS…
2002
Surface and volume crystallization of amorphous, melt-quenched (Ni50Zr50)99.9P0.1 alloy has been investigated by measurements of the temperature dependencies of the intensity of photostimulated exoelectron emission (EEE) and by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A comparison of these dependencies enables one to assess the tendency of the investigated materials to premature surface crystallization. For the (Ni50Zr50)99.9P0.1 alloy the surface crystallization occurs at temperatures distinctly lower than that for the crystallization in bulk. The activation energy for the surface crystallization, determined by the Ozawa method, i.e. from the shift of EEE peak corresponding to the surface…
