Abstract:
A high-pressure synchrotron radiation diffraction study has been carried out on Ni(1-x)Cu(x)Cr(2)O(4) solid solutions. Observed pressure-controlled phase transitions, along with data previously collected for temperature-induced phase transitions, are analyzed in the framework of the unified phenomenological model that results in mapping of the generic phase diagram for the whole family of Ni(1-x)Cu(x)Cr(2)O(4) solid solutions.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
Precipitation Gravimetry
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...
