Structure of Mg$$_{2}$$SiO$$_{4}$$ glass made by a method for containerless supercooled-liquid-phase processing at high temperatures

Kohara, Shinji*; Suzuya, Kentaro; Takeuchi, Ken*

Mirai Zairyo, 5(4), p.28 - 33, 2005/04

We succeeded in producing highly pure glass made of "forsterite," contained in upper mantle of the Earth and meteorites. Although ordinary glass is made of silica network structure, this glass has an unsymmetrical network structure of magnesium oxide polyhedrons, which is deemed to destroy the silica network structure. We produced glass with extremely rare impurities by melting forsterite while floating it with inert gas and sound waves and then quenching it while holding it in an approximate microgravity condition equivalent to space. Development of a new optical fiber and improvement and cost reduction of operating equipment, such as operation laser, because high-purity glass can be produced using materials, which has been deemed to be appropriate.

The Disordered 3-dimensional structure visualized by a combination of high-energy synchrotron X-rays and computer simulations

Kohara, Shinji*; Oishi, Yasuo*; Takata, Masaki*; Yoneda, Yasuhiro; Suzuya, Kentaro

Nihon Kessho Gakkai-Shi, 47(2), p.123 - 129, 2005/04

The use of high-energy (E $$>$$ 50 keV) X-rays from SPring-8 allows us to perform X-ray diffraction experiments on disordered materials with the following advantages: high resolution in real space due to the wide range of scattering vector, small correction terms (particularly the absorption correction), and fast diffraction measurement with small amount of samples. Recently, high-energy X-ray diffraction data have been combined with neutron diffraction data from a pulsed neutron source to provide more detailed and reliable structural information than has hitherto been available. Furthermore, the use of reverse Monte Carlo modelling and PDF (pair distribution function) simulation based on high-energy X-ray diffraction data have succeeded in illustrating 3-dimensional structure of disordered materials and disorder in crystalline materials.

Unusual structure in vitreous forsterite synthesized by an aero-acoustic levitation technique

Kohara, Shinji*; Suzuya, Kentaro; Takeuchi, Ken*

Nihon Maikurogurabiti Oyo Gakkai-Shi, 22(2), p.100 - 104, 2005/04

Forsterite Mg$$_{2}$$SiO$$_{4}$$ exhibits an orthorhombic structure consisted of two kinds of MgO$$_{6}$$ octahedra. Given only 33.3 mol% of SiO$$_{2}$$ in the material, the SiO$$_{4}$$ tetrahedra are isolated within the framework, sharing the O-O bonds with the common edges of the MgO$$_{6}$$ octahedra. If forsterite can be vitrified, an interesting question concerning the glass structure arises because there is insufficient glass forming SiO$$_{2}$$ to establish the corner-sharing SiO$$_{4}$$ tetrahedral network needed in conventional silicate glasses. A bulk Mg$$_{2}$$SiO$$_{4}$$ glass was synthesized using an aero-acoustic levitation technique and to determine the short- to intermediate-range structure by a combined high-energy X-ray and neutron diffraction and reverse Monte Carlo computer simulation. Interestingly, we found that the role of network former is largely taken on by corner- and edge-sharing ionic magnesium species that adopt 4-, 5- and 6-coordination with oxygen.

Intermediate-range order in vitreous SiO$$_{2}$$ and GeO$$_{2}$$

Kohara, Shinji*; Suzuya, Kentaro

Journal of Physics; Condensed Matter, 17(5), p.S77 - S86, 2005/02

 Times Cited Count:82 Percentile:90.9(Physics, Condensed Matter)

The total structure factors, S(Q), obtained from high-energy X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements on vitreous SiO$$_{2}$$ (v-SiO$$_{2}$$) and vitreous GeO$$_{2}$$ (v-GeO$$_{2}$$) have been analysed by the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modelling technique to generate a three-dimensional structural model. The bond angle distributions and the ring size distributions from the model indicated that the sixfold ring and six- and sevenfold rings are dominant in v-SiO$$_{2}$$ and v-GeO$$_{2}$$, respectively. However, the fraction of threefold rings of Ge in v-GeO$$_{2}$$ is larger than that of Si in v-SiO$$_{2}$$ glass. These features are consistent with the published neutron diffraction and Raman scattering studies.

Structure of oxide glasses by synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction

Suzuya, Kentaro

Hamon, 13(1), p.51 - 55, 2003/01

With the arrival of the latest generation of synchrotron sources and the introduction of advanced insertion devices, the high-energy (E $$>$$ 30 keV) X-ray diffraction technique has become feasible, leading to new approaches in the quantitative study of the structure of disordered materials. Recently, the high-energy X-ray diffraction data have been combined with neutron diffraction data from a pulsed source to provide more detailed and reliable structural information than that hitherto available. We have developed a two-axis diffractometer for glass, liquid and amorphous materials at the SPring-8 high-energy X-ray diffraction beamline BL04B2. Furthermore, we have succeeded to analyze the intermediate-range order of network forming glasses, SiO$$_{2}$$, B$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$, and GeO$$_{2}$$ by the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modelling technique with special focused on the ring structures using both high-energy X-ray and neutron diffraction data.

The structure of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bifluoride (EMImF$$cdot$$HF) melt has been analyzed at 333 K by a high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction method. The total correlation function of the EMImF$$cdot$$HF melt was similar to that of the solid state, indicating that not only the short-range but also the intermediate-range ordering in the solid are partially preserved in the liquid state. The intra-molecular F-F correlation in the anions clearly appears in the total correlation function of the EMImF$$cdot$$HF melt, whereas prominent peaks are not observed in the case of a room temperature molten salt, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium fluorohydrogenate (EMImF$$cdot$$2.3HF).

 Times Cited Count:34 Percentile:88.67(Instruments & Instrumentation)

With the arrival of the latest generation of synchrotron sources and the introduction of advanced insertion devices (wigglers and undulators), the high-energy (E $$>$$ 30 keV) X-ray diffraction technique has become feasible, leading to new approaches in the quantitative study of the structure of disordered materials. High-energy X-ray diffraction has several advantages: higher resolution in real space due to a wide range of scattering vector Q, smaller correction terms (especially the absorption correction), reduction of truncation errors, the feasibility of running under extreme environments, including high-temperatures and high-pressures, and the ability to make direct comparisons between X-ray and neutron diffraction data. Recently, high-energy X-ray diffraction data have been combined with neutron diffraction data from a pulsed source to provide more detailed and reliable structural information than that hitherto available.

The Structures of alkylimidazolium fluorohydrogenate molten salts studied by high-energy X-ray diffraction

The structures of a series of XF$$^{.}$$2.3HF (X= 1-methylimidazolium (MI), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMI), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMI), 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium (HMI)) room temperature molten salts have been investigated by high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique. The correlation peaks appeared in the total correlation function are mainly ascribed to intra-molecular correlation of alkylimidazolium cations. However, it is suggested that the peak at around 3.6 $$AA$$ is ascribed not only to intra-molecular but also inter-molecular correlation of the cation. The contribution of the latter is also supported by the first sharp diffraction peak of the total structure factor found at almost the same position as that of a Bragg peak in the simulated X-ray diffraction pattern of solid EMIF$$^{.}$$HF with a layered structure, corresponding to the layer separation of

Yoneda, Yasuhiro

no journal, , 

The bending magnet beamlines of SPring-8 can provide wide band X-rays, which critical energy is 28.9 keV. One can performs the high-energy X-ray diffraction measurements by combining X-ray focusing system of a crystal bender. We examined a coherence part in ceramics samples by using the large penetration depth of the high-energy X-rays. For example, we found structural phase transitions in (Na,K,Li)NbO$$_3$$ and (Bi$$_{0.5}$$Na$$_{0.5}$$)TiO$$_3$$. We also applied this technique to a surrogate materials for nitride fuel of (Dy,Zr)N.

High-energy X-ray diffraction study of (Na$$_{0.5}$$K$$_{0.45}$$Li$$_{0.05}$$)NbO$$_3$$ - Ca(Zr$$_{0.5}$$Ti$$_{0.5}$$)O$$_3$$

A two-body correlation distribution function obtained from high-energy X-ray diffraction experiments was applied to a niobium-based oxide ferroelectric (Na$$_{0.5}$$K$$_{0.45}$$Li$$_{0.05}$$)NbO$$_3$$ - Ca(Zr$$_{0.5}$$Ti$$_{0.5}$$)O$$_3$$ with excellent piezoelectric properties. The average structure of (Na$$_{0.5}$$K$$_{0.45}$$Li$$_{0.05}$$)NbO$$_3$$ - Ca(Zr$$_{0.5}$$Ti$$_{0.5}$$)O$$_3$$ changes with a small amount of Ta-additives. When the density and grain size of the sample were matched to determine whether the local structure changed with the change in the average structure, there was almost no difference in the local structure between 3${AA}$ and 10${AA}$. The difference was observed in the coherence of the nanoscale region, suggesting a difference in the ferroelectric domain size.
