Intercalation And High-Pressure Effects On Structural Phase Transitions In Layered As x P 1-x Alloys

This project was aimed at understanding the role of composition, intercalation, and high pressure on the structural evolution of black phosphorous (BP) and layered arsenic phosphorous alloys, As y P 1-y . Under normal conditions, BP is the most stable phase of phosphorous, known as the α-phase, characterized by an orthorhombic honeycomb puckered crystal structure with the Cmca space group. On the other hand, the most stable phase of arsenic is its β-phase, known as gray arsenic (g-As), which has a rhombohedral buckled layered crystal structure with the R3m space group. In a wide range of compositions (y < 0.83), the arsenic phosphorous alloys form the α-phase, known as black arsenic phosphorous (b-As y P 1-y ) with a similar structure to BP. The project was aimed at the synthesis of BP and b-As y P 1-y with different compositions and at studying the structural evolution of these materials during intercalation with alkali metal (especially Li), and under high-pressure conditions. The main goals were to gain a better understanding of these processes and structural changes taking place under these conditions. In particular, the project was aimed at addressing whether such conditions could induce a structural transition between the α- and β-phases. For this, a series of systematic in-situ studies were conducted, including electrochemical lithium intercalation in an in-situ electrochemical cell, and high-pressure experiments in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). Overall, both types of experiments have shown that above a certain composition-dependent threshold level of intercalation or high pressure, the system undergoes phase segregation rather than phase transition. Specifically, the segregation of the excess arsenic was observed, and a single-phase system of b-As y P 1-y transformed into a two-phase system consisting of b-As y P 1-y and g-As, through the following process: 1∗(b-As y P 1-y ) → 1∗(b As y-δ P 1-y ) + δ∗(g-As). Also, the study showed that intercalation and high-pressure are two competing rather than synergistic processes causing at least a partial cancelation of these two factors

Crystallographic Study of Product Phases of Carbothermic Reduction and Nitridation of Hafnium Dioxide

Details of the carbothermic reduction/nitridation to synthesize hafnium nitride (HfN) and hafnium carbide (HfC) are scarce in the literature. Therefore, this current study was carried out to evaluate two pathways for synthesizing these two refractory materials: direct nitridation and carbothermic reduction/nitridation. Two mixtures of hafnium dioxide and carbon with C/HfO 2 molar ratios of 2.15 and 3.1 were nitridized directly using flowing nitrogen gas at elevated temperatures (1300–1700 °C). The 3.1 C/HfO 2 molar ratio mixture was also carbothermically reduced under flowing argon gas to synthesize HfC, which was converted into HfN by introducing a nitridation step under both N 2(g ) and N 2(g) -10% H 2(g) . X-ray diffraction results showed the formation of HfN at 1300 and 1400 °C and HfC 1–y N y at ≥1400 °C under direct nitridation of samples using a C/HfO 2 molar ratio of 2.15. These phase analysis data together with lower lattice strain and greater crystallite sizes of HfC 1–y N y that formed at higher temperatures suggested that the HfC 1–y N y phase is preferred over HfN at those temperatures. Carbothermic reduction of 3.1 C/HfO 2 molar ratio samples under an inert atmosphere produced single-phased HfC with no significant levels of dissolved oxygen. In conclusion, carbothermic reduction nitridation made two phases of different carbon levels (HfC 1–y N y and HfC 1–y 'N y ', where y' < y), while direct nitridation produced a single HfC 1–y N y phase under both N 2 and N 2 -10% H 2 cover gas environments.
