Quantitative X-ray diffraction phase analysis of airborne particulate collected by a cascade impactor sampler using the Rietveld full-pattern fitting…

1997

Samples of airborne particulate were collected at the “El Ingenio” site in Castellón (Spain) using a cascade impactor sampler. Quantitative analysis of present phases in the aerosol was performed using the full-pattern fitting Rietveld method. Quantitative information was obtained from refined individual scale factors and unit-cell volumes, obtained with a Rietveld refinement program. Quartz, calcite, and gypsum were encountered as major phases, and their size distribution and concentration in the atmosphere were calculated.

Iron-containing phases in metallurgical and coke dusts as well as in bog iron ore

2017

Abstract Several samples of dusts from steel and coke plants (collected mostly with electro filters) were subjected to the investigation of content of mineral phases in their particles. Additionally, sample of bog iron ore and metallurgical slurry was studied. Next, the magnetic susceptibility of all the samples was determined, and investigations of iron-containing phases were performed using transmission Mössbauer spectrometry. The values of mass-specific magnetic susceptibility χ varied in a wide range: from 59 to above 7000 × 10−8 m-3·kg−1. The low values are determined for bog iron ore, metallurgical slurry, and coke dusts. The extremely high χ was obtained for metallurgical dusts. The …

X-ray powder diffraction phase analysis and thermomechanical properties of silica and alumina porcelains

2004

Chemical and mineralogical characterization, using the Rietveld method, of some silica and alumina rich porcelains and its relationship with thermomechanical properties have been studied in this work. X-ray powder diffraction analysis allows to differ clearly between silica and alumina porcelains. X-ray study shows that both porcelains have a content of vitreous phase. This vitreous phase is higher in the silica than in the alumina porcelain. Dilatometric studies combined with powder diffraction methods shows a strong relationship between silica content and a lower expansion coefficients and between alumina content and a higher crash resistance. Lower contents in vitreous phase in porcelain…

Quantitative Phase Analysis of Mixtures of Three Components using Rietveld and Rius Standardless Methods. Comparative Results

2000

Eight samples, supplied by the Commission on Powder Diffraction of the International Union of Crystallography, through the Round Robin on quantitative phase analysis, were analized using standardless methods. Samples were mixtures of corundum, zincite and fluorite in different ratios. The Rietveld method, using the DBW 3.2 and FULLPROF software, and the Rius method, using MENGE-PC software, were used. Results obtained agree well with the real composition supplied (a posteriori) by the IUCr.

Mössbauer and TEM studies of the perovskite system (1-y)La2/3 $$A$$ 1/3TiO3·yLaFeO3

1994

The microscopic nature of the Mossbauer phase analysis has been found as being particularly valuable in testing assumptions suggested by TEM results regarding the microdomain structure and the population of different lattice sites by iron ions in the perovskite system (1-y)La2/3\(A\)1/3TiO3·yLaFeO3 with 0.04<y < 0.25 (\(A\) is an A-site vacancy). This system was found to contain only Fe3+-phases which are stable under normal conditions, but moderate heating in vacuo causes a partial reduction of ferric ions to ferrous ions.

Mössbauer Spectroscopy: Elegance and versatility in chemical diagnostics

2010

Dedicated to Professor Rudolf Ludwig Mossbauer on the occasion of his 80th birthday . Soon after the discovery of the recoilless nuclear resonance fluorescence by Rudolf L. Mossbauer some fifty years ago a new spectroscopic technique developed quickly on the basis of this resonance phenomenon as an excellent tool for the investigation of materials through electric and magnetic hyperfine interactions between electrons and suitable Mo uml ssbauer nu-clides. Many disciplines of solid state research have benefited from applications of the new tool for non-destructive phase analysis. Chemists in particular have recognized the information that can be derived from Mo uml ssbauer spectra regarding …

Phasenumwandlungen in Korrosionsschichten auf Eisen: Mößbauerspektroskopische Untersuchungen

1981

Zur Untersuchung der Korrosion von Stahlblechen wurde die mosbauerspektroskopische Phasenanalyse in Transmissions- und Streugeometrie eingesetzt. Die Korrosion von Stahlblechen fuhrt in einer Atmosphare von geringer Korrosivitat nach langen Expositionszeiten vorwiegend zu den relativ stabilen β-Phasen der moglichen Fe-Korrosionsprodukte. Bei durch HCl-Zusatz erhohter Korrosivitat ergibt sich eine Bevorzugung der Bildung von β-FeOOH und kein Auftreten der α-Phasen. Auch der Einflus von. Beschichtungen auf die Phasenzusammensetzung wird behandelt. Die Entstehung und Umwandlung der verschiedenen Fe-haltigen Phasen im Rost last sich anhand eines Stabilitatsdiagramms verstehen. Auch die Wirkung …

1985

Abstract Pearlstones (perlite) from Sardinia (Italy). Milos (Greece) and Siberia (USSR) have been evaluated in terms of chemical composition, phase analysis, iron distribution, morphology and thermal properties, for application as raw material in zeolite synthesis.

Factors affecting basket catheter detection of real and phantom rotors in the atria: A computational study

2018

[EN] Anatomically based procedures to ablate atrial fibrillation (AF) are often successful in terminating paroxysmal AF. However, the ability to terminate persistent AF remains disappointing. New mechanistic approaches use multiple-electrode basket catheter mapping to localize and target AF drivers in the form of rotors but significant concerns remain about their accuracy. We aimed to evaluate how electrode-endocardium distance, far-field sources and inter-electrode distance affect the accuracy of localizing rotors. Sustained rotor activation of the atria was simulated numerically and mapped using a virtual basket catheter with varying electrode densities placed at different positions withi…
