Al90Sm10, a marginal glass former, was rapidly solidified using high pressure gas atomization (HPGA). Rapid solidification is a non-equilibrium process, with different degrees of departure from full equilibrium constituting a microstructural hierarchy that correlates with increasing solidification rate. In accordance with this the resultant HPGA powders show a variety of microstructures according to their particle diameters, corresponding to degree of undercooling, with an amorphous structure appearing at high cooling rates. Five distinct phases and microstructures have been identified at different undercoolings; Al solid solution, tetragonal Al11Sm3, two different orthorhombic phases, and an amorphous phase which exists in company with a high number density of Al nanocrystals. The product phases of the rapid solidification were identified and analyzed using high energy transmission X-ray diffraction (HEXRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Xray Spectroscopy (EDS) and thermal analysis (DSC). The results of the study will be helpful in identifying metastable phase hierarchy and glass formation during vitrification of marginal glass formers. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Characterization of oil shales by high pressure DSC
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Pokol, Gy. (1999-01-01)
Pressurised differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC) has been used to obtain information on the pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of oil shales. Two distinct exothermic peaks were identified in combustion experiments known as low temperature oxidation (LTO) and high temperature oxidation (HTO) reaction regions. The pyrolysis process of all studied oil shale samples showed one exothermic effect at each total pressure studied. Kinetic data were analysed by Roger & Morris and Arrhenius methods and the r...
Characterization of magnetite thin films produced by sol-gel processing
Eken, Ali Erdem; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008)
Magnetite (Fe3O4) thin films were prepared by a sol-gel process in which, a solution of iron (III) nitrate dissolved in ethylene glycol was applied on glass substrates by spin coating. Xerogel films were obtained by drying the coated films at 110 °C. The films were sintered between 300 °C and 450 °C in order to observe the phases existing in the films at different temperatures. Coating solution showed Newtonian behaviour and viscosity was found as 0.0215 Pa.s. DTA analysis showed that, sintering temperature...
The influence of relative humidity on photocatalytic oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) over TiO2
Üner, Deniz; Tabari, Taymaz (2015-11-01)
The influence of relative humidity on NO oxidation over commercial TiO2 (47 m(2)/g catalyst) was investigated. The experimental methodology followed the protocols described in ISO-22197: 2007 (E) standard. The adsorption characteristics of oxygen and H2O were monitored by adsorption calorimetry. Oxygen adsorption was low; on the contrary water vapor exhibited the characteristics of multilayer adsorption. In the first monolayer, the heats of adsorption of water sharply decreased from 180 to 80 kj/mol till ab...
Characterization of degradation products of polyethylene oxide by pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Fares, M.M.; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Suzer, S. (1994-01-01)
The techniques of direct and indirect (evolved gas analysis) pyrolysis MS are used to characterize the thermal degradation products of polyethylene oxide. Using direct pyrolysis MS technique the main degradation process is determined to be due to C~ and C~C scissions yielding fragments characteristic of the polymer. Evolved gas analysis indicates formation of small molecular stable compounds such as C2H•OCzH 5, CH3CHO, CO,, CO and C2H 4.
Characterization of lignocellulose biomass and model compounds by thermogravimetry
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
In this research, combustion characteristics of lignocellulose biomass (hazelnut shell) and three main components (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) were investigated using thermogravimetry (TGA-DTG) technique at different heating rates. The ignition, peak, burn-out temperatures, and the heat liberation of lignocellulose biomass and three main components were also measured. Two different model-free kinetic methods, known as Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS), were used in order to...
