Number-average molecular weights and inherent viscosities were found for the soluble members of an alkoxy-substituted copolyester series. A liquid-crystalline (high-temperature) phase was distinguisehd by IR and wide-angle X-ray scattering on molten and quenched samples in form of a nematic sanidic phase. In this phase no relationship exists between the orientation of the aromatic polyester backbone and that of the laterally attracted alkoxy groups. Further, it was proven by IR that only the polyester backbone can be aligned by shear stress. If the applied shear stress is very strong, the orientation of the stiff backbone becomes sensitive to disturbance caused by mechanical forces.
The main component of this program is a simultaneous representation of the unit cell and the calculated powder pattern. It allows the manipulation of the Crystal structure by moving selected atoms of the asymmetric unit. The resulting powder pattern can be directly compared to experimental data in order to obtain reliable starting values for further computations in refinement programs.
PowderCell 2.0 for Windows
(1998)
PowderCell contains a comfortable, user friendly visualization and modification tool for crystal structures. It provides on-line calculation of the corresponding powder diffraction patterns simulating a variety of experimental conditions. The common ICSD and Shelx file formats are supported for importing crystal structure information. It has control of automatic cell transformation and also derivation of subgroups. More than 740 different settings of the 230 space-group types are supported. Up to ten crystal structures can be considered simultaneously. A full pattern refinement enables the direct comparison with experimental diffractograms for quantitative phase analysis, lattice parameter refinement, polynomial background estimation, etc.
PowderCell as teaching tool
(1998)
PowderCell represents a user friendly program which supports the solution of scientific problems as well as teaching and education. Especially for the last one the program offers a lot of information regarding the space-group type as well as crystal structure used. Therefore, on some universities the program is used successfully to make students familiar with x-ray crystallography. The quasi-simultaneous diffraction pattern simulation visualized the changes caused by the respective crystal structure. However, it is also possible to vary different diffraction parameters and investigate the resulting changes in the interference intensity or the reflection position. In principle, the aim of the program is the intuitive generation of structure models. Therefore, special tools have been implemented to move (rotate or shift) or transform the crystal structure.
The formation of AlN films prepared by N+2 ion implantation into aluminium was investigated using X-ray and Auger photoelectron spectroscopy ( XPS, AES) as well as cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM). After 100-keV N+2 implantation of low doses (1×1017 cm−2), the formation of hexagonal AlN nanocrystals (crystal size <5 nm, Ncrystal=1017 cm−3) was observed. Their orientation is strongly correlated with the aluminium matrix. With the dose increasing to 3×1017 cm−2, crystal growth follows, finally forming a homogeneous AlN-layer. Furthermore, the diffraction patterns show an increasing amount of misorientation with increasing dose. From the crystal size distribution, we conclude that continuous nucleation takes place. Samples implanted with an energy of 3 keV exhibit analogous behaviour. Nitride growth was further investigated using microstructured AlN formed by 3-keV implantation through movable TEM-masks (structure size: 15–150 mm).
In the case of high N+2 doses (D&5×1017 cm−2), AlN is detected by AES in the shielded area at a distance of up to 10 mm from the exposed region. The Diffusion coefficient was calculated to be 10−10 cm2 s−1. The formation of AlN proceeds in two steps.
After a continuous nucleation, diffusion-assisted Crystal growth takes place until a homogeneous AlN layer results.
Platinum does not form any adherent oxides and can be easily wetted by tin-based solders. Platinum is also an available metallization in semiconductor laboratories. Therefore we investigated the diffusion of platinum thin-film metallizations into eutectic tin–lead solder by using a high-resolution secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) profiling from the back side. It is shown that an intermetallic phase (PtSn4) is formed during soldering, which controls the consumption of platinum during soldering and in operation. The consumption of platinum follows the well-known parabolic diffusion law. The activation energy of this process is 0.63 eV. Even at extended heating cycles of 2 min at 250°C, 190 nm from the original 300 nm of the platinum film remain undissolved. This high stability makes platinum a very attractive thin-film metallization for flip-chip (FC) bonding of new microsystems.
Our aim is the application of LIBS as a simple, quasi on-line method for the non-destructive testing of concrete. Concrete is naturally inhomogeneous. Therefore we must take into account the local variation of the element composition using a statistical analysis. Depending on how much cement and aggregate is measured with each laser pulse, a scan on the surface of a concrete specimen produces a distribution of points in the Rankin diagram which is used to characterise the concrete.
Today's civil engineering NDT needs are for quantitative, fast to apply and easy to interpret methods. They are required on site both for evaluation of existing structures/infrastructure and for quality control in new construction. With this purpose, BAM has carried out in-situ feasibility studies, using radar, impact-echo and ultrasonic-echo methods. Two examples are given of their combined application on different railway slab–track constructions, using high frequency radar, scanning impact-echo and ultrasonic array methods. The aim was to evaluate limitations and advantages, comparability and complementarity of these methods. The on-site measurements demonstrated the possibility to investigate, with good accuracy via NDT, the bonding conditions between sleepers and slab, to locate voids and measure layer thickness. The acoustic and electromagnetic methods used, were found to be complementary.
The program PowderCell is a crystallographic tool for visualization of Crystal structures. However, it offers also non-conventional features like the fulautomatical generation of subgroups or the consideration of non-standard settings of space-group types. On the one Hand the program is very useful for non-crystallographers who like to get an impression of the atomic arrangement within the unit cell. But also for crystallographers it is recommendable because it contains a lot of additional information which can be extracted and used like data given in the International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. A. However, the most important advantage of the program is the simultaneous calculation of the X-ray or neutron diffraction powder patterns for a mixture of up to 10 crystalline phases. Between more than 7 different characteristic radiations can be chosen and their influence on the resulting powder pattern can be studied. Furthermore, experimental diffractograms can be analysed using a refinement procedure. The implemented LeBail-algorithm allows the investigation of unknown phases. In combination with the refinement algorithm an interface to Shelx offers the possibility for a step by step ab initio structure analysis. Certainly, the user-friendly shell is one reason that especially users who are not so familar with space-group symmetry, crystal structure data or diffractometry use this powerful tool for the solution of scientific or analytical problems as well as in teaching.
