    Notes: The formation of nanosized crystallites of magnetite, Fe3O4, by heat treatment of a glass containing iron oxide was investigated. The magnetic properties of the glass ceramic manufactured strongly depend on the heat treatment conditions. The evolution of size distribution and volume fraction of the nanocrystallites formed was studied by small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The size distribution of the nanocrystalline phase turned out to show bimodal shape. The possibility of magnetic contrast variation offered by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) was utilized in order to distinguish the small-angle scattering of magnetite from the scattering contributions of nonmagnetic iron containing crystallites that can additionally be formed during the heat treatment. The results obtained reveal that both size grades of particles observed in the size distribution are superparamagnetic consisting of magnetite. The evolution of the volume fraction of magnetite in dependence on the heat treatment was found to be correlated with the magnitude of the specific saturation magnetization of the glass ceramic. The volume size distributions derived from magnetic SANS revealed peaks at smaller radii in relation to those from nuclear SANS and SAXS data. Therefore, the existence of a nonmagnetic surface layer is suggested that surrounds the magnetically active core of the magnetite nanocrystals. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The glass with composition 13Na2O-11CaO-76SiO2 (mol%) undergoes subliquidus phase separation via a binodal mechanism. At temperatures below the binodal temperature, Tb = 978 K, the glass separates into two amorphous phases, silica-enriched droplets and a silica-poor matrix. Small-angle X-ray scattering was used to study the formation of the droplet phase at 923 K as well as the process of reversion where the precipitates dissolve after an increase in temperature. After a heat treatment of 48 h at 923 K the system is in the stage of coarsening. However, the equilibrium volume fraction of the droplet phase, we = 0.073, has not yet precipitated. The reversion of the droplets was studied at T = 983 K and T = 963 K. For T 〉 Tb, the precipitates dissolve completely by an interdiffusion process resulting in a decrease of the silica concentration of the droplets, while the phase boundary is preserved over long times. For T 〈 Tb, the reversion process shows two distinct stages. In the first stage, the silica concentration inside the droplets decreases and all precipitates shrink until the concentration in the matrix reaches its new equilibrium value. Afterwards, the largest droplets grow again by slow coarsening.

    Notes: The requirements imposed on the magnitude of the noise in a scattering curve in order to minimize the corresponding error in the structure functions are estimated for a given value of the time T in which the scattering curve is recorded. Typical small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) curves have been used to check how these conditions are fulfilled when different counting modes are applied for the measurement. It is shown that fixed-time counting is the most practical technique and produces error bands in the structure functions with magnitudes close to the smallest values attainable in SAXS investigations.

    Notes: The kinetics of the primary phase formation in a glass ceramic base glass near the cordierite composition in the MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 system, with additions of ZrO2 and TiO2 as nucleating agents, have been investigated by combining different small-angle scattering techniques. Phase formation in the base glass heated isothermally at 1093 K has been studied in order to elucidate the structural processes that take place during controlled nucleation before volume crystallization begins. Complementary results of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and electron microprobe analysis reveal that in the final stages of annealing, different crystalline phases, which are dispersed in the residual glassy phase, are developed. The largest particles have sizes of the order of several hundreds of nanometers and consist of magnesium petalite as well as a high-quartz solid solution. Besides these crystals, two populations of smaller particles, the sizes of which can be resolved by small-angle scattering, were detected and found to be enriched with TiO2 and/or ZrO2. The growth of particles of intermediate size was studied in situ. The radius, R, of each of these particles increases with increasing treatment time, t, according to the power law R ∝ t1/2, indicating diffusion-limited independent growth. The scattering patterns are modified by diffusion zones surrounding the growing particles. The characteristics of the diffusion zones are evaluated by fitting appropriate model scattering curves to the experimental scattering data. The structural arrangement of the Ti and Zr ions was studied by contrast variation with the help of anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering and small-angle neutron scattering. As revealed by the contrast variation experiments, Ti ions are concentrated in the interface between the intermediate-sized particles and the glass matrix, whereas Zr is homogeneously distributed in these particles. Additionally, the Zr ions participate in the formation of the smallest particles, which are crystallites enriched with ZrO2. Finally, the catalyzing effect of TiO2 and ZrO2 on the nucleation and volume crystallization of the glass ceramic is discussed.

    Notes: The treatment and analysis of small-angle X-ray scattering data are reviewed with specific concern for the glass science. The studies detail the characterization of the submicroscopic structure existing in terms of two-phase particulate systems, multiphase particle systems, non-particulate systems, including those of fractal surfaces, and the application of small-angle X-ray scattering to the examination of the intermediate-range order of glasses. The methods developed are illustrated by small-angle X-ray scattering and anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering results obtained from optical filter glass, glass produced by the sol–gel technique, optical colorless glass inclining to opalescence, porous glass and single-phase phosphate glass.

    Notes: Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a powerful tool to study the kinetics of phase separation in materials. A simple procedure is presented that allows one to prove if the particle-size distribution established in a system in the late stages of phase separation corresponds to the predictions of the classical Lifshitz–Slyozov–Wagner (LSW) theory for the asymptotic stage of Ostwald ripening. The method is based on the correlations between certain SAXS size parameters and the higher moments of the LSW size distribution functions for diffusion-limited or reaction-limited ripening. It is suggested that the use of these size parameters, which can be obtained with high accuracy from the scattering curve, is frequently more advantageous than a direct comparison of the experimentally obtained size distributions with the asymptotic size-distribution functions predicted by the LSW theory. The method is applicable if the suppositions made in the LSW theory that the precipitated particles should be homogeneous spheres with volume fraction tending to zero are fulfilled. The method is applied to a photochromic glass; although the silver-halide precipitates contained in the glass develop according to the power law of diffusion-limited Ostwald ripening, their size distribution is shown not to correspond to the features of the LSW size distribution. Consequently, in this case the LSW theory cannot describe quantitatively the kinetics of ripening.

    Notes: A three-layer coating for stents with a nanostructured surface of calcium phosphate (CaP) is pre-sented. The coating stack consists of (a) a TiNbN layer deposited by physical vapour deposition and acting as diffusion barrier against allergenic ions, (b) a SiO2 xerogel layer providing good adhesion properties and designing the nanoporosity of the outer CaP layer (c) precipitated electrochemically. The verification of the SiO2-layer (and therewith its influence onto adhesion and structure of the outer CaP layer) succeeded only by use of XPS because of the very small amount of the xerogel. SEM results verified a homogeneous nanoscale nanoporous structure of the CaP coating. It is char-acterised by high adhesion strength. If applied for stent covering the nanoscale CaP coating has promising properties to initiate rapid endothelium formation and reduced risk of restenosis

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of silver chloride cluster formation in a sodium borate glass heat treated isothermally at different temperatures above the glass transition temperature has been studied with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). It is established that the size distributions of particle number and particle volume have bimodal shapes, i.e. the system of AgCl droplets consists of two populations with significantly different mean radii. The bimodality of the size distribution functions is confirmed by results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) even if different techniques of sample preparation are used. The resolution limits of the TEM techniques applied amount to 2 nm and are comparable with the smallest particle diameters detectable by the SAXS method. The evolution of the size distributions is discussed in the framework of the theories of nucleation, growth and Ostwald ripening.
