Cyanomethylene-bis(phosphonate)-Based Lanthanide Complexes: Structural, Photophysical, and Magnetic Investigations

10 pagesInternational audienceThe syntheses, structural investigations, magnetic and photophysical properties of a series of 10 lanthanide mononuclear complexes, containing the heteroditopic ligand cyanomethylene-bis(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3,2λ5-dioxa-phosphorinane) (L), are described. The crystallographic analyses indicate two structural types: in the first one, [LnIII(L)3(H2O)2]*H2O (Ln = La, Pr, Nd), the metal ions are eight-coordinated within a square antiprism geometry, while the second one, [LnIII(L)3(H2O)]*8H2O (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er), contains seven-coordinated LnIII ions within distorted monocapped trigonal prisms...

Features of Structural and Phase Transformations in Mo–Si–B and Сr–Al–Si–B Systems During Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis

This study is dedicated to investigation of the combustion mechanisms during the SHS of ceramic materials in multicomponent Mo–Si–B and Cr–Al–Si–B systems. It is concluded that the following processes are defined the SHS for Si-rich Mo–Si–B compositions: Si melting, its spreading over the surfaces of the solid Mo and B particles, followed by B dissolution in the melt, and formation of intermediate Mo3Si phase film. The subsequent diffusion of Si into Mo results in the formation of MoSi2 grains and MoB phase forms due to the diffusion of Mo into B-rich melt. The formation of MoB phase for B-rich compositions may occur via gas-phase mass transfer of MoO3 gaseous species to B particles and B2O2 to Mo particles. In Cr–Al–Si–B system firstly, the Al–Si eutectic mixture undergoes contact melting followed by formation of the reactionary surface as the eutectic melt spreads over the Cr and B particles surface. An increase in Al content increases the proportion of the Al–Si eutectic melt. The dissolution of Cr particles in this melt becomes the rate-limiting stage of the combustion process. The melt is saturated with these elements followed by crystallization of CrB and Cr(Si,Al)2 grains. In the Cr- and B-rich areas and low melt concentration, the formation of CrB may occur via gas-phase mass transfer of B2O2 gaseous species to Cr particles. Consecutive formation of chromium and molybdenum borides and silicides is established by means of dynamic X-ray diffraction analysis. Compact ceramic samples were produced using forced SHS pressing technique. Their structural investigations were conducted by XRD and SEM

ПОЛУЧЕНИЕ ЛИТЫХ ЭЛЕКТРОДОВ ИЗ НАНОМОДИФИЦИРОВАННОГО ВЫСОКОБОРИСТОГО СПЛАВА НА ОСНОВЕ АЛЮМИНИДА НИКЕЛЯ ДЛЯ ИЗГОТОВЛЕНИЯ СФЕРИЧЕСКИХ ГРАНУЛ МЕТОДОМ ЦЕНТРОБЕЖНОГО РАСПЫЛЕНИЯ

A complex manufacturing method of the billets from the material based on high-boron nickel aluminide is proposed. The method includes manufacturing the semifinished alloy products using a combined method of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and centrifugal casting from oxide feedstock and subsequent vacuum induction remelting with introducing Al-based foundry alloys containing nanosized ZrO2 and modifying the structure. The evolution of the microstructure and phase composition is investigated at all production stages. A cast ZrO2-modified cylindrical billet, which possesses high purity in regards to gas impurities (O – 0,005 wt.% and N – 0,0001 wt.%) and is suitable for the further production of powders by the plasma rotating electrode process, is fabricated according to the proposed technology.Предложена комплексная технология производства заготовок из материала на основе высокобористого алюминида никеля. Она включает в себя изготовление полуфабрикатов сплава совмещенным методом самораспространяющегося высокотем-пературного синтеза и центробежного литья из оксидного сырья и последующий вакуумный индукционный переплав с введением модифицирующих структуру лигатур на основе Al, содержащих наноразмерный ZrO2. Изучена эволюция микроструктуры и фазового состава на всех технологических переделах. По предложенной технологии получена литая цилиндрическая заготовка, модифицированная ZrO2, которая обладает высокой чистотой по газовым примесям (O – 0,005 мас.%, N – 0,0001 мас.%) и пригодна для дальнейшего получения гранул методом центробежного распыления
