Experimental Considerations and Limitations in the Application of Ultra High Temperature (2100°C) X-Ray Diffraction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Extract
In-situ, high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) is an extremely useful tool for studying, monitoring or investigating crystal structure modifications as well as phase transformations in crystalline material during thermal treatments in controlled atmospheres. This technique has been used to investigate the thermal behavior of materials such as carbonate minerals, ceramic fibers, coating pigments, etc. The advantages of such a technique over the conventional practice, where samples are heat treated in a separate oven and then analyzed by XRD include: consistency of sample placement; preservation of high temperature structures to facilitate observation of metastable phases that are unstable upon exposure to outside atmosphere or during cooling; real time monitoring of reactions that occur, and products that are formed at a desired temperature or environment; and need for multiple samples or analysis.
