Complex Ordering in Thin Films of Di- and Trifunctionalized Hexaalkoxytriphenylene Derivatives

1997

We have used pressure−area isotherms, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and infrared dichroism to study Langmuir and Langmuir−Blodgett films of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaalkoxytriphenylenes which...

Does the thermal evolution of molecular structures critically affect the magnetic anisotropy?

2015

A dysprosium based single-ion magnet is synthesized and characterized by the angular dependence of the single-crystal magnetic susceptibility. Ab initio and effective electrostatic analyses are performed using the molecular structures determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction at 20 K, 100 K and 300 K. Contrary to the common assumption, the results reveal that the structural thermal effects that may affect the energy level scheme and magnetic anisotropy below 100 K are negligible.

Structure determination of thin CoFe films by anomalous x-ray diffraction

2012

This work reports on the investigation of structure-property relationships in thin CoFe films grown on MgO. Because of the very similar scattering factors of Fe and Co, it is not possible to distinguish the random A2 (W-type) structure from the ordered B2 (CsCl-type) structure with commonly used x-ray sources. Synchrotron radiation based anomalous x-ray diffraction overcomes this problem. It is shown that as grown thin films and 300 K post annealed films exhibit the A2 structure with a random distribution of Co and Fe. In contrast, films annealed at 400 K adopt the ordered B2 structure.

<title>In-situ x-ray absorption fine structure and x-ray diffraction studies of hydrogen intercalation in tungsten oxides</title>

1997

We present in-situ x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) (at the W L 3 -edge) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies of hydrogen intercalation into stable monoclinic (m-WO 3 ) and metastable hexagonal (h-WO 3 ) and cubic (c-WO 3 ) phases of tungsten oxide. The analysis of XAFS and XRD data allowed us to reconstruct the local environment around tungsten ions in the first coordination shell. The obtained results are compared with the existing structural models.

Synthesis and structural study of NaTi2(PO4)3-NaSn2(PO4)3 solid solutions. I. The effect of composition on lattice parameters

1992

Abstract Compounds NaM2IV(PO4)3 with NZP-type structure present a different behavior depending on the nature of MIV. For MIV = Ti and Zr the structure shows the space group R3c, whereas for MIV = Sn the space group is R3. Differences in behavior of NaTi2(PO4)3 - NaSn2(PO4)3 solid solutions are discussed in relation to the composition. The variation of the lattice parameters with composition in NaTi2−xSnx(PO4)3 (0 1. The structure of the compound with x = 1 (NaSnTi(PO4)3) has been determined applying the Rietveld method to deconvolute the powder x-ray diffraction profile.

Preparation and Thermal Behavior of Freely-Suspended and Transferred Films Composed of a Single Compound, the Liquid Crystal 707PP

1991

We have recently introduced a new method for the preparation of ultrathin smectic films on solid supports by transferring freely-suspended liquid-crystalline films [1, 2]. Here we report on the preparation, structural properties and thermal behavior of freely-suspended and transferred films of 2-(4'-Heptyloxyphenyl)-5-heptylpyridine (707PP). Freely-suspended and transferred films were investigated using optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Both types of films exhibit reversible phase transitions comparable to bulk values.

X-ray diffraction study of CF3Cl monolayers adsorbed on graphite (001)

1988

X-ray diffraction experiments have been performed on mono- and submonolayers of CF3Cl physisorbed on the (001) surfaces of exfoliated graphite. Five quasi-twodimensional solid phases including the commensurate 2×2 phase, an electrically ordered phase and a disordered incommensurate phase have been observed. A phase diagram is proposed and the various phase transitions are discussed.

A new interpretation of the 22-tricosenoic acid Langmuir-Blodgett structures identified as triclinic by Rheeds

1990

Abstract One of the original structural studies on Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) multilayers of 22-tricosenoic acid using the technique of reflection high-energy electron diffraction was performed by Peterson and Russell (1984, Phil. Mag. A, 49, 463). In their paper, four distinct structural arrangements of the long-chain fatty acid were identified, where the arrangement adopted by a particular sample was found to depend on the substrate and deposition conditions. The identification of the C2 H4 subcells in each of these arrangements was made on the basis of a number of assumptions, some of which have subsequently been shown to be erroneous. In particular, the identification of a triclinic subcell…

Using Electron Diffraction to Solve the Crystal Structure of a Laked Azo Pigment

2009

The structure of the ζ phase of Pigment Red 53:2 was solved using electron diffraction data. The unit cell determination appeared to be more complicated due to twinning of the crystals. A series of...
