Thermal Expansion01:22

Thermal Expansion

4.4K
The expansion of alcohol in a thermometer is one of many commonly encountered examples of thermal expansion, which is the change in size or volume of a given system as its temperature changes. The most visible example is the expansion of hot air. When air is heated, it expands and becomes less dense than the surrounding air, which then exerts an upward force on the hot air to, for example, make steam and smoke rise, and hot air balloons float. The same behavior happens in all liquids and gases,...

Expansion and Contraction in Masonry Walls01:19

Expansion and Contraction in Masonry Walls

948
Masonry walls are subject to slight expansion and contraction due to variations in temperature and moisture. Thermal movement in masonry is relatively straightforward to measure and plan for. On the other hand, moisture movement poses more of a challenge. New clay masonry units typically absorb water and expand over time under normal environmental conditions. Conversely, new concrete masonry units tend to shrink as they lose the excess moisture acquired during their production process.

Cycloaddition Reactions: MO Requirements for Thermal Activation01:16

Cycloaddition Reactions: MO Requirements for Thermal Activation

3.5K
Thermal cycloadditions are reactions where the source of activation energy needed to initiate the reaction is provided in the form of heat. A typical example of a thermally-allowed cycloaddition is the Diels–Alder reaction, which is a [4 + 2] cycloaddition. In contrast, a [2 + 2] cycloaddition is thermally forbidden.

Thermal Strain01:19

Thermal Strain

905
Thermal strain is a concept that arises when we consider how temperature changes affect structures. Unlike the conventional assumption that structures remain constant under load, real-world scenarios often involve temperature fluctuations that can significantly impact these structures. Consider a homogeneous rod with a uniform cross-section resting freely on a flat horizontal surface. If the rod's temperature increases, the rod elongates. This elongation is proportional to the temperature...

Radical Anti-Markovnikov Addition to Alkenes: Thermodynamics

1.9K
The anti-Markovnikov addition of hydrogen halides to an alkene is thermodynamically feasible only with HBr. The radical addition reaction with other hydrogen halides like HCl and HI is thermodynamically unfavorable.

Metallic Solids02:37

Metallic Solids

18.4K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Chemistry
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials are crucial for mitigating thermal expansion mismatches in integrated devices.
  • The scarcity and design challenges of current NTE compounds necessitate novel strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new design concept for NTE compounds by expanding the space within framework structures.
  • To synthesize and characterize a new series of NTE compounds based on the AIBIICIII(MoO4)3 system.

Main Methods:

  • A modified NaZr2(PO4)3 parent structure was used as a template.
  • A series of AIBIICIII(MoO4)3 compounds were synthesized, replacing smaller tetrahedra with larger ones.
  • Temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations were employed.

Main Results:

  • A new NTE system, AIBIICIII(MoO4)3, was successfully designed and synthesized.
  • The replacement of PO4 with MoO4 tetrahedra enhanced structural space and NTE performance.
  • NTE was attributed to coupled polyhedral oscillations, influenced by ion radius and framework flexibility.

Conclusions:

  • Expanding framework structural space is an effective strategy for designing new NTE compounds.
  • Large-radius ions contribute to enhanced NTE by increasing space and softening the framework.
  • This design approach holds promise for discovering additional NTE materials.
