Abstract

The thermal decomposition of ettringite, Ca{sub 6}[Al(OH){sub 6}]{sub 2}(SO{sub 4}){sub 3}.{approx}26H{sub 2}O, was studied with pulsed neutron time-of-flight diffraction combined with Rietveld structure refinement. Like prior investigations, transition from a crystalline to amorphous state occurred following the loss of {approx}20 water molecules. In contrast to earlier investigations, which relied upon indirect measurements of water and hydroxyl occupancies, the present study inferred the occupancies directly from Rietveld crystal structure refinement of the diffraction data. The decomposition pathway was shown to be more complex than previously envisioned, involving the simultaneous loss of hydroxyl and water molecules. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies of the rigid lattice lineshapes of fully and partially hydrated ettringite were performed and confirmed our decomposition model.

The impact of K{sup +} content on the structural transformations and morphological changes during the thermal treatment of α-MnO{sub 2} nanorods

Journal Article Umek, Polona, E-mail: polona.umek@ijs.si ; Center of Excellence NAMASTE, Jamova cesta 39, 1000 Ljubljana ; Korošec, Romana Cerc - Materials Research Bulletin

Highlights: ► The acidic treatment considerably shortened the α-MnO{sub 2} nanorods. ► α-MnO{sub 2} nanorods with higher potassium contents undergo to the structural changes at higher temperatures. ► Up to 500 °C no structural and morpholigcal changes are observed. -- Abstract: The effect of heat treatment on the structure and morphology of α-MnO{sub 2} nanorods with different potassium contents was investigated. These nanorods, prepared by ion exchange, were thermally treated at 500, 800, 1000 and 1100 °C, and characterized with X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The structure and morphology of the starting sample remained preserved up to 500 °C. Themore »« less

Reflectivity and structural evolution of Cr/Sc and nitrogen containing Cr/Sc multilayers during thermal annealing

Journal Article Eriksson, Fredrik ; Ghafoor, Naureen ; Hultman, Lars ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

It is shown that the thermal stability in vacuum of Cr/Sc multilayer thin films used as reflective optical components in soft x-ray instrumentation has substantial dependence on incorporation of N. The thermal stability is increased by incorporating 34 at.% of N in Cr/Sc multilayers. A pure Cr/Sc multilayer x-ray mirror starts a continuous degradation already at {approx}100 deg. C with a complete destruction of the multilayer at 500 deg. C. The resulting structure is a mixture of Cr and Sc nanocrystallites. The degradation can be described by linear diffusion theory and is suggested to be due to the formation ofmore »« less

Photoluminescence study of the structural evolution of amorphous and crystalline silicon nanoclusters during the thermal annealing of silicon suboxide films with different stoichiometry

Journal Article Zhigunov, D. M., E-mail: dmzhigunov@physics.msu.ru ; Shvydun, N. V. ; Emelyanov, A. V. ; ... - Semiconductors

The effect of the stoichiometry of thin silicon suboxide films on the processes of the formation and evolution of silicon nanoclusters during thermal annealing is studied by photoluminescence measurements. The samples are produced by the thermal sputtering of a SiO powder in an oxygen atmosphere, with the subsequent deposition of a 500 nm-thick SiO{sub x} layer onto a Si substrate. The morphological properties and size of Si nanoclusters are explored by analyzing the photoluminescence spectra and kinetics. A comparative study of the luminescence properties of thin SiO{sub x} layers with different stoichiometric parameters, x = 1.10, 1.29, 1.56, and 1.68,more »« less

Metaettringite, a decomposition product of ettringite

Journal Article Zhou, Q. ; Lachowski, E.E. ; Glasser, F.P - Cement and Concrete Research

Dehydroxylation of ettringite in an atmosphere of constant partial water vapour pressure (30-400 Torr) and controlled temperature (55-95 deg. C) yields an X-ray amorphous product containing 11-13 H{sub 2}O per ettringite formula unit. The X-ray amorphous product does, however, give electron diffraction patterns similar to those of ettringite but with a considerably reduced from {approx}1.123 nm (ettringite) to 0.85 nm in the partially dehydroxylated product, termed metaettringite. The structure of metaettringite is closely related to that of fleischerite, Pb{sub 3}Ge[(OH){sub 6}](SO{sub 4}){sub 2}{center_dot}3H{sub 2}O and the isostructural despujolsite, Ca{sub 3}Mn{sup IV}(SO{sub 4}){sub 2}(OH){sub 6}{center_dot}3H{sub 2}O. These minerals contain columnar units.more »« less
