  1. The Muppet’s Guide to: The Structure and Dynamics of Solids Phase Diagrams

  2. Binary Phase Diagrams Phase B Phase A Nickel atom Copper atom • When we combine two elements... what equilibrium state do we get? • In particular, if we specify... --a composition (e.g., wt.% Cu – wt.% Ni), and --a temperature (T) then... How many phases do we get? What is the composition of each phase? How much of each phase do we get?

  3. T(°C) • 2 phases: 1600 L (liquid) 1500 L (liquid) a (FCC solid solution) • 3 phase fields: 1400 L a liquidus + 1300 a L + L solidus a a 1200 (FCC solid 1100 solution) 1000 wt% Ni 0 20 40 60 80 100 Phase Diagrams • Indicate phases as function of T, Co, and P. • For this course: -binary systems: just 2 components. -independent variables: T and Co (P = 1 atm is almost always used). • Phase Diagram for Cu-Ni at P=1 atm.

Figure adapted from Callister, Materials science and engineering, 7th Ed.

  11. Equilibrium cooling • Multiple freezing sites • Polycrystalline materials • Not the same as a single crystal • The compositions that freeze are a function of the temperature • At equilibrium, the ‘first to freeze’ composition must adjust on further cooling by solid state diffusion

  12. Diffusion is not a flow Concept behind mean free path in scattering phenomena - conductivity Our models of diffusion are based on a random walk approach and not a net flow http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/RandomWalk2D_1200.gif

  13. Diffusion in 1 Dimension • Fick’s First Law J = flux – amount of material per unit area per unit time C = concentration Diffusion coefficient which we expect is a function of the temperature, T

  14. Diffusion cont…. • Requires the solution of the continuity equation: The change in concentration as a function of time in a volume is balanced by how much material flows in per time unit minus how much flows out – the change in flux, J: • giving Fick’s second law (with D being constant): BUT

  15. C x Solution of Ficks’ Laws For a semi-infinite sample the solution to Ficks’ Law gives an error function distribution whose width increases with time t = 0 C Co t = t

  16. Consider slabs of Cu and Ni. Interface region will be a mixed alloy (solid solution) Interface region will grow as a function of time

  34. Characterisation Over the course so far we have seen how thermodynamics plays an important role in defining the basic minimum energy structure of a solid. Small changes in the structure (such as the perovskites) can produce changes in the physical properties of materials Kinetics and diffusion also play a role and give rise to different meta-stable structures of the same materials – allotropes / polymorphs Alloys and mixtures undergo multiple phase changes as a function of temperature and composition BUT how do we characterise samples?

  35. Probes Resolution better than the inter-atomic spacings • Electromagnetic Radiation • Neutrons • Electrons

  36. Probes Treat all probes as if they were waves: Wave-number, k: Momentum, p: Photons ‘Massive’ objects

  37. Xavier the X-ray Speed of Light Wavelength Planck’s constant Ex(keV)=1.2398/l(nm) Elastic scattering as Ex>>kBT

  38. Norbert the Neutron De Broglie equation: mass velocity Kinetic Energy: En(meV)=0.8178/l2(nm) Strong inelastic scattering as En~kBT

  39. Eric the Electron • Eric’s rest mass: 9.11 × 10−31 kg. • electric charge: −1.602 × 10−19 C • No substructure – point particle De Broglie equation: mass velocity Eedepends on accelerating voltage :– Range of Energies from 0 to MeV

  40. Probes Resolution better than the interatomic spacings Absorption low – we want a ‘bulk’ probe • Electrons - Eric • quite surface sensitive • Electromagnetic Radiation - Xavier • Optical – spectroscopy • X-rays : • VUV and soft (spectroscopic and surfaces) • Hard (bulk like) • Neutrons - Norbert

  41. Interactions Englebert Xavier Norbert 1. Absorption 2. Refraction/Reflection 3. Scattering Diffraction

  42. a Crystals are 2D with planes separated by dhkl. There will only be constructive interference when == - i.e. the reflection condition.

  43. Basic Scattering Theory Differential cross-section Unit solid angle The number of scattered particles per second is defined using the standard expression Defined using Fermi’s Golden Rule

  44. Spherical Scattered Wavefield Incident Wavefield Scattering Potential Different for X-rays, Neutrons and Electrons

  45. BORN approximation: • Assumes initial wave is also spherical • Scattering potential gives weak interactions Scattered intensity is proportional to the Fourier Transform of the scattering potential

  46. Scattering from Crystal As a crystal is a periodic repetition of atoms in 3D we can formulate the scattering amplitude from a crystal by expanding the scattering from a single atom in a Fourier series over the entire crystal Atomic Structure Factor Real Lattice Vector: T=ha+kb+lc

  47. The Structure Factor Describes the Intensity of the diffracted beams in reciprocal space hkl are the diffraction planes, uvw are fractional co-ordinates within the unit cell If the basis is the same, and has a scattering factor, (f=1), the structure factors for the hkl reflections can be found

  48. The Form Factor Describes the distribution of the diffracted beams in reciprocal space The summation is over the entire crystal which is a parallelepiped of sides:

  49. The Form Factor Measures the translational symmetry of the lattice Deviation from reciprocal lattice point located at d* Redefine q: The Form Factor has low intensity unless q is a reciprocal lattice vector associated with a reciprocal lattice point N=500 N=2,500; FWHM-1.3”
