Behaviour of the non-linear optical material KTiOPO4in the temperature range 293-973 K studied by x-ray diffractometry at high resolution: alkaline d…
1999
The crystal structure of potassium titanyl phosphate, KTiOPO4 (space group Pna21), has been refined at room temperature, at 673 K, and at 973 K, by using accurate single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques at high resolution (dmin = 0.35 A). The data show a large amount of anharmonic motion of the potassium ions, increasing with temperature. To describe this motion, two models are developed: a normal refinement including potassium anharmonic thermal displacement parameters, which describes the average motion of the alkaline sites, and another model in which the potassium sites are split within the harmonic approximation and the displacements of the potassium ions versus temperature are des…

Phase diagram of calcium at high pressure and high temperature
2018
Resistively heated diamond-anvil cells have been used together with synchrotron x-ray diffraction to investigate the phase diagram of calcium up to 50 GPa and 800 K. The phase boundaries between the Ca-I (fcc), Ca-II (bcc), and Ca-III (simple cubic, sc) phases have been determined at these pressure-temperature conditions, and the ambient temperature equation of state has been generated. The equation of state parameters at ambient temperature have been determined from the experimental compression curve of the observed phases by using third-order Birch-Murnaghan and Vinet equations. A thermal equation of state was also determined for Ca-I and Ca-II by combining the room-temperature Birch-Murn…
Thermal expansion of LiZr2(PO4)3: Water inclusion influence
1989
Abstract Lattice thermal expansion has been measured on three samples of composition LiZr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 , prepared by (i) a ceramic method, (ii) a gel-route and (iii) a nonstoichiometric ceramic. The first sample is monoclinic (?), with a transition at 50°C to rhombohedral. The second is clearly monoclinic with lattice parameters depending on the calcination temperature (700 to 1200°C. The third kind of synthesis yielded a new PO 4 -deficitary rhombohedral structure. X-ray diffraction measurements in a high temperature camera have been made from room temperature up to 1100°C. Lattice parameters, as well as their dependence on temperature are different for the three samples. While thermal expa…
Phase transition in NaSn2(PO4)3 and thermal expansion of NaMIV2 (PO43; MIV = Ti, Sn, Zr
1991
Abstract NaSn2(PO4)3 presents a fast and reversible second order phase transition about 575°C. Both phases above and below the transition point are rhombohedral. The high temperature phase is isostructural with NaTi2(PO4)3 and NaZr2(PO4)3, NZP structure. The lattice thermal expansion of these three compounds has been determined from x-ray diffraction data at different temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 1000°C. Differences in behaviour are discussed in relation to the structure.
Phase transitions in i-butylammonium halogenoantimonate(III) and bismuthate(III) crystals
1997
Abstract Differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric, thermal expansion, infrared and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies on i-butylammonium halogenoantimonate(III) and bismuthate(III) crystals are reported. All crystals: (i-C4H9NH3)2BiCl5, (i-C4H9NH3)2SbBr5, (i-C4H9NH3)3BiCl6, (i-C4H9NH3)3Bi2Br9, (i-C4H9NH3)3Sb2Br9, show one or more structural phase transitions of first order type. The values of the transition entropies suggest that the most of the phase transitions are of the order-disorder type. The infrared studies confirmed the contribution of the i-butylammonium cations in the phase transition mechanism.
Structural characterization, thermal, dielectric and spectroscopic properties of di(n-pentylammonium) pentabromoantimonate(III): [n-C5H11NH3]2[SbBr5]
2008
Abstract The di( n -pentylammonium) pentabromoantimonate(III) compound has been synthesized and studied by means of a single-crystal X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal expansion, dielectric and IR techniques. Two solid–solid phase transitions of first order: at 416/388 K and 225/224 K (heating/cooling) have been revealed. The crystal structure of [ n -C 5 H 11 NH 3 ] 2 [SbBr 5 ] has been solved at 298 K, Pna 2 1 (phase II) and at 86 K P 2 1 2 1 2 1 (phase III). The crystal structure is composed of the SbBr 5 2 - anions which form an infinite chain and four independent n -pentylammonium cations. The dielectric studies have been made in the frequency range 500 Hz–1 …
Synthesis and structural study of sodium titanium phosphate-sodium tin phosphate solid solutions. II. Thermal expansion
1993
Abstract The structure of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 shows the space group R3c, whereas that of NaSn 2 (PO 4 ) 3 presents the space group R3 at room temperature and it undergoes a second order phase transition at 575°C from this structure to another with the space group R3c. Evolution of the structure of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 NaSn 2 (PO 4 ) 3 solid solutions with temperature has been studied and temperature phase transition established for the compositions studied.

Design, assembly and characterization of silicide-based thermoelectric modules
2016
ID: 1143 In: Energy conversion and management, 13-21. Summary: Highlights•Novel silicide-based thermoelectric modules were experimentally investigated.•The modules produced high power of 1.04 W at 405 °C and 3.24 W at 735 °C.•An estimated module efficiency of 5.3% represent the highest reported for silicide systems.AbstractSilicides have attracted considerable attention for use in thermoelectric generators due mainly to low cost, low toxicity and light weight, in contrast to conventional materials such as bismuth and lead telluride. Most reported work has focused on optimizing the materials properties while little has been done on module testing. In this work we have designed and tested mod…
Material characteristics in the analysis of heated steel beams
1989
Beam fire tests are expensive and complicated. They may be replaced by calculations of the heated beam deflection by means of the method presented in this paper. The following material characteristics in the analysis of the deflection of beams during fire may be taken as fundamental: the steel creep characteristic at elevated temperatures, the modulus of elasticity and the coefficient of thermal expansion. According to the yield hinge theory, the yield stress is the criterion of failure of steel beams in fire. On the other hand, in the analysis of the deflection of the heated steel beams the influence of the yield stress is very small. The influence of the respective material characteristic…
