Equilibrium cooling
• Multiple freezing sites– Polycrystalline materials– Not the same as a single crystal
• The compositions that freeze are a function of the temperature
• At equilibrium, the ‘first to freeze’ composition must adjust on further cooling by solid state diffusion
Diffusion is not a flow
Our models of diffusion are based on a random walk approach and not a net flow
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/RandomWalk2D_1200.gif
Concept behind mean free path in scattering phenomena - conductivity
Diffusion in 1 Dimension
• Fick’s First Law
dCJ D T
dx
J = flux – amount of material per unit area per unit timeC = concentration
Diffusion coefficient which we expect is a function of the temperature, T
Diffusion cont….• Requires the solution of the continuity equation:
The change in concentration as a function of time in a volume is balanced by how much material flows in per time unit minus how much flows out – the change in flux, J:

The Final Countdown
CharacterisationOver the course so far we have seen how thermodynamics plays an important role in defining the basic minimum energy structure of a solid.
Small changes in the structure (such as the perovskites) can produce changes in the physical properties of materials
Kinetics and diffusion also play a role and give rise to different meta-stable structures of the same materials – allotropes / polymorphs
Alloys and mixtures undergo multiple phase changes as a function of temperature and composition
BUT how do we characterise samples?

Powder DiffractionIt is impossible to grow some materials in a single crystal form or
we wish to study materials in a dynamic process.
Powder Techniques
Allows a wider range of materials to be studied under different sample conditions
1. Inductance Furnace 290 – 1500K
2. Closed Cycle Cryostat 10 – 290K
3. High Pressure Up-to 5 million Atmospheres
• Phase changes as a function of Temp and Pressure
• Phase identification
