X-ray diffraction/Rietveld method was used to quantify the crystalline phase composition of the hydrated samples. Additionally, the morphology of hydrated samples was observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results showed that, calcium hydroxide(CH), ettringite(AFt) and amorphous phase content in hydrated samples decreased as the replacement level of CCK increased, while AFm and str?tlingite increased, which was caused by the combination of dilute, physical and pozzolanic effects. The hydration of anhydrous cement phases was accelerated by physical effect but hindered by the retardation effect of CCK. The role of each effects was discussed in detail to analyze the mechanism of OPC hydration with CCK addition. The SEM images showed that the shortening of AFt at 1 day and the denser texture at 28 days was observed with CCK addition, which was caused by the physical and pozzolanic effects, respectively.展开更多

The results show that the stabilities of supersaturated solid solution (SSS) of Zn-Al alloy and α' phase formed by quenching would reduce with the increase of Zn content and the precipitation of η-Zn phases even when aging at ambient temperature, so that the exothermic precipitation peak in DSC curve would disappear. The activation energy of the η-Zn precipitation and the reaction enthalpy were calculated and measured. The kinetics of α' decomposition or η-Zn formation was determined by XRD. The microstructure change during aging was observed by TEM.展开更多

It is therefore essential to get more definitive information to improve selection and utilization. X-ray diffraction is a rapid method for measuring microfibril angles. In this paper, the variability of microfibril angle in plantation-grown Masson pine was investigated by peak-fitting method. This method was compared with the traditional hand-drawn method, 40% peak height method and half peak height method. X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that the microfibril angle changed as a function of the position in the tree. The mean microfibril angle decreased more gradually as the distance increased from the pith and reached the same level in mature wood. The microfibril angle also seemed to decrease clearly from the base upward. Differences of angle-intensity curves between heartwood and sapwood were also examined.展开更多

A highly sensitive image plate detector is able to collect enough intensity to record a brilliant X-ray powder pattern in a reasonable time, compared to CuKα1 radiation used today. Especially atomic displacement coefficients could be determined more precisely with the much greater number of reflections recorded. A double-radius Guinier camera attached to a micro-focus rotating anode tube ensures increased brilliance besides high resolution. A simple construction specification is presented to make smart cylindrically bent Ge(111) or Si(111) X-ray monochromators that deliver focused CuKβ radiation. The highly linear response of image plate detectors allows removing of fluorescence radiation simply as background of the pattern. The proposed equipment is a cost-efficient alternative to a liquid gallium-metal-jet X-ray source with maximum power load and a similar wavelength of λ(GaKα1) = 1.34013 ?.展开更多

The precise lattice constants required were obtained by numerical calculation instead of using standard sample without any fault. The influence of internal stress on the determined a has been evaluated, and the caused relative error was determined as about 4% and thus negligible. The results show that the deformation fault probability increases with decreasing Mn-content and increasing cycle number, which are qualitatively consistent with those results of Psf determined by peak-broadening method.展开更多

From these results, the stress state of a given phase in a duplex TiAl based alloy under a uniaxial tensile loading has been characterized by X ray diffraction. The results show that the X ray elastic constants and the microscopic stresses of the given phase are different from the apparent elastic constants and the macroscopic stresses of the alloy. The reason of the different distribution of the alloy was also discussed. [展开更多

The main reason is that the technical problems related to the internal standard and the selection of quantitative peaks are not well solved, and the accuracy and precision of the results are not satisfactory. This study employed the concept of mass absorption coefficient based on the internal standard method, and the full spectrum fitting and quantitative methods were used to solve the above technical problems. The sample was blended. the internal standard substance of zinc oxide was fully ground, and tablets were prepared by positive pressure method. Under certain instrumental conditions, the PXRD pattern was obtained by scanning. The percentage of gypsum fibrosum in Xiaokening tablet was obtained by quantitative analysis of full spectrum fitting internal standard by TOPAS software. The method was investigated by methodology. At the same time, the method was compared by ion chromatography, and SPSS software was used to make a significant t test on the results of the two methods. After the investigation, the average standard recovery rate of CaSO4-2H2O was 99.06%(RSD = 3.02%);and the recovery rate for simulated samples was 96.7%. The method had good specificity. After statistical analysis, there was no significant difference between the new PXRD method and the traditional method of ion chromatography.展开更多
