A Mythen detector has been equipped at the beamline 4B9A of Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility, which can be used for in-situ real-time measurement of X-ray diffraction (XRD) full profiles. In this paper, the thermal expansion behavior of metal indium has been studied by using the in-situ XRD technique with the Mythen detector. The indium film was heated from 30 to 160 {deg}C with a heating rate of 2 {deg}C/min. The in-situ XRD full-profiles were collected with a rate of one profile per 10 seconds. Rietveld refinement was used to extract the structural parameters. The results demonstrate that the thermal expansion of metal indium is nonlinear especially when the sample temperature was close to its melting point (156.5 {deg}C). The expansion of a-axis and the contraction of c-axis of the tetragonal unit cell of metallic indium can be well described by biquadratic and cubic polynomials, respectively. The tetragonal unit cell presents a tendency to become cubic one with the increase of temperature but without detectable phase change. This study is not only beneficial to the application of metal indium, but also exhibits the capacity of in-situ time-resolved XRD experiments at the X-ray diffraction station of BSRF.

Thermal decomposition behaviors of TiH2 powder under a flowing helium atmosphere and in a low vacuum condition have been studied by using in-situ EXAFS technique. By an EXAFS analysis containing the multiple scattering paths including H atoms, the ch
anges of hydrogen stoichiometric ratio and the phase transformation sequence are obtained. The results demonstrate that the initial decomposition temperature is dependent on experimental conditions, which occurs, respectively, at about 300 and 400 degree in a low vacuum condition and under a flowing helium atmosphere. During the decomposition process of TiH2 in a low vacuum condition, the sample experiences a phase change process: {delta}(TiH2) - {delta}(TiHx) - {delta}(TiHx)+{beta}(TiHx) - {delta}(TiHx)+{beta}(TiHx)+{alpha}(Ti) - {beta}(TiHx)+{alpha}(Ti) - {alpha}(Ti)+{beta}(Ti). This study offers a way to detect the structural information of hydrogen. A detailed discussion about the decomposition process of TiH2 is given in this paper.
We investigate the effects of carbon and boron doping on the thermal expansion in the hexagonal (P63/mmc) intermetallic YbGaGe. X-ray powder diffraction was used to measure the lattice constants on pure and doped (C or B at nominal levels of 0.5 %) s
amples from T~10 K to T~300 K. Also measured were resistivity, specific-heat, and magnetic susceptibility. While the pure YbGaGe samples exhibit positive thermal volume expansion, (V300K-V10K)/V300K = 0.94%, the volume expansion in the lightly C and B-doped samples, contract and tend towards zero volume expansion. Such a strong response with such light doping suggests that the underlying mechanism for the reported zero volume expansion is substitutional disorder, and not the previously proposed valence fluctuations.
We show that the density of indium islands on GaAs(111)A substrates have a non-monotonic, reentrant behavior as a function of the indium deposition temperature. The expected increase in the density with decreasing temperature, indeed, is observed onl
y down to 160 {deg}C, where the indium islands undertake the expected liquid-to-solid phase transition. Further decreasing the temperature causes a sizeable reduction of the island density. An additional, reentrant increasing behavior is observed below 80 {deg}C. We attribute the above complex behavior to the liquid-solid phase transition and to the complex island-island interaction which takes place between crystalline islands in the presence of strain. Indium solid islands grown at temperatures below 160 {deg}C have a face-centered cubic crystal structure.
Transition metal perovskite chalcogenides, a class of materials with rich tunability in functionalities, are gaining increased attention as candidate materials for renewable energy applications. Perovskite oxides are considered excellent n-type therm
oelectric materials. Compared to oxide counterparts, we expect the chalcogenides to possess more favorable thermoelectric properties such as lower lattice thermal conductivity and smaller band gap, making them promising material candidates for high temperature thermoelectrics. Thus, it is necessary to study the thermal properties of these materials in detail, especially thermal stability, to evaluate their potential. In this work, we report the synthesis and thermal stability study of five compounds, alpha-SrZrS$_3$, beta-SrZrS$_3$, BaZrS$_3$, Ba$_2$ZrS$_4$, and Ba$_3$Zr$_2$S$_7$. These materials cover several structural types including distorted perovskite, needle-like, and Ruddlesden-Popper phases. Differential scanning calorimeter and thermo-gravimetric analysis measurements were performed up to 1200{deg}C in air. Structural and chemical characterizations such as X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and energy dispersive analytical X-ray spectroscopy were performed on all the samples before and after the heat treatment to understand the oxidation process. Our studies show that perovskite chalcogenides possess excellent thermal stability in air at least up to 600{deg}C.
The structural dynamics of a 1D mixed-metal cyanide, Cu$_{1/3}$Ag$_{1/3}$Au$_{1/3}$CN, with intriguing thermal properties is explored. All the current known related compounds with straight-chain structures, such as CuCN, AgCN, AuCN and M$_x$M$_{1-x}$
CN (M, M = Cu, Ag, Au), exhibit 1D negative thermal expansion (NTE) along the chains and positive thermal expansion (PTE) perpendicular to them. Cu$_{1/3}$Ag$_{1/3}$Au$_{1/3}$CN exhibits similar PTE perpendicular to the chains, however PTE, rather than NTE, is also observed along the chains. In order to understand the origin of this unexpected behavior, inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements were carried out, underpinned by DFT calculations. Synchrotron-based PDF analysis and 13C SSNMR measurements were also performed to build an input structural model for the lattice dynamical study. The results indicate that transverse motions of the metal ions are responsible for the PTE perpendicular to the chains, as is the case for the related group 11 cyanides. However NTE along the chain due to the tension effect of these transverse motions is not observed. For this system, DFT-based phonon calculations predict small PTE along the chain due to low-energy chain-slipping modes induced by a bond-rotation effect on the weak metallophilic bonds. However the observed PTE is greater than that predicted with the straight-chain model. Small bends in the chain to accommodate truly co-planar metals provide an alternative explanation for thermal behavior. These would mitigate the tension effect induced by the transverse motions of the metals and, as temperature increases and the chains move further apart, a straightening could occur resulting in the observed PTE. This hypothesis is further supported by unusual evolution in the phonon spectra, which suggest small changes in local symmetry with temperature.
