Full textIn this thesis we use global structural prediction methods (Particle Swarm Optimization and Minima Hopping Method) and high-throughput techniques to predict crystal structures of different systems under different conditions. We performed structural prediction by using the Crystal structure Analysis by Particle Swarm Optimization (CALYPSO) combined with Density Functional Theory (DFT) that made possible to unveil several stable compounds, so far unknown, on the phase diagrams of Ba-Si systerm and N-H-O system. Afterwards, we performed a high-throughput investigation on ternary compounds of composition ABX2, where A and B are elements of the periodic table up to Bi, and X is a chalcogen (O, S, Se, and Te) by using density functional theory and combining calculations of crystal prototypes with structural prediction (Minima Hopping Method). The following paragraphs summarize the content by chapter of this document. Chapter 1 is a short introduction of this thesis. Chapter 2 consists of the basic theory used in this thesis. Firstly, a short introduction of Density Function Theory (DFT) is presented. Then, we describe some approximate exchange- correlation functions that make DFT practical. Next, we introduce different structural prediction algorithms, especially Particle Swarm Optimization and Minima Hopping Method which we used in this thesis. Finally, we discuss the thermodynamic stablility criteria for a new a new structure. In Chapter 3, we first consider Ba–Si system. Using an unbiased structural search based on a particle-swarm optimization algorithm combined with DFT calculations, we investigate systematically the ground-state phase stability and structural diversity of Ba–Si binaries under high pressure. The phase diagram turns out to be quite intricate, with several compositions stabilizing/destabilizing as a function of pressure. In particular, we identify novel phases of BaSi, BaSi2, BaSi3, and BaSi5 that might be synthesizable experimentally over a wide range of pressures. Chapter 4 contains the investigation of the phases diagram of the N–H–O system. By using ab initio evolutionary structural search, we report the prediction of two novel phases of the N–H–O ternary system, namely NOH4 and HNO3 (nitric acid) at pressure up to 150 GPa. Our calculations show that the new C2/m phase of NOH4 is stable under a large range of pressure from 71 GPa to 150 GPa while the P21/m phase of HNO3 (nitric acid) is stable from 39 GPa to 150 GPa (the maximum pressure which we have studied). We also confirmed that the composition NOH5 (NH3H2O) becomes unstable for pressures above 122 GPa. It decomposes into NH3 and H2O at this pressure. Chapter 5 focuses on p-type transparent electrodes of ternary chalcogenides. We use a high-throughput approach based on DFT to find delafossite and related layered phases of composition ABX2, where A and B are elements of the periodic table, and X is a chalcogen (O, S, Se, and Te). From the 15 624 compounds studied in the trigonal delafossite prototype structure, 285 are within 50 meV/atom from the convex hull of stability. These compounds are further investigated using global structural prediction methods to obtain their lowest- energy crystal structure. We find 79 systems not present in the "Materials project database" that are thermodynamically stable and crystallize in the delafossite or in closely related structures. These novel phases are then characterized by calculating their band gaps and hole effective masses. This characterization unveils a large diversity of properties, ranging from normal metals, magnetic metals, and some candidate compounds for p-type transparent electrodes. At the end of the thesis, we give our general conclusion and an outlook

Full textThe nuclear energy represents today an important fraction of electricity production in the world and especially in France. The most used nuclear fuel today is the uranium dioxide UO2. In this thesis, we have studied the crystallographic structure evolution of this material related to the increase of its burn-up.We have confirmed that, under conditions similar of those of irradiated nuclear fuel, a miscibility gap exists in the (U1-yNdy)O2 system. As (U1-yNdy)O2 system can be considered as a model of the fuel, we have search for the existence of a miscibility gap in the irradiated fuel, which would be considered as a ternary pseudo diagram de phases. XRD measurements of theses system give us results consistent with this hypothesis.Based on this evidence, we propose a new interpretation of the microstructure evolution of the irradiated fuel as a function of the burn-up

Full textEmulsifier is a raw material widely used in formulated systems of emulsion type. Due to its amphiphilic chemical structure, this molecule decreases the interfacial tension between two immiscible liquids that form an emulsion, which increases the stability of the system over time. In addition, it can form liquid crystals in the formulated systems because of its structure and this has a considerable impact on the physicochemical and applicative properties of emulsions. The objective of this project is to study a natural alkyl polyglucoside/fatty alcohol mixed surfactant. Its properties were first investigated via the construction of the phase diagram. Thus, it has been shown that the variation of the concentration and of the ratio of alkyl polyglucoside/fatty alcohol in the mixed emulsifier favors the transition between the micellar solutions towards liquid crystals of lamellar or hexagonal type in the studied systems. Next, the mastering of the binary systems properties allowed understanding the metamorphoses undergone by the system when an oil phase is incorporated into it. The chemical structure of emollients (presence of heteroatoms) affects the organization of liquid crystals formed by the amphiphilic molecules. Therefore, depending on the emollient type, the microscopic and macroscopic properties of the systems change (droplet sizes and distribution, rheological, thermal and texture profile). Finally, the applicative properties of emulsions are also affected, as shown by sensory analysis and in-vivo biometric measurements

Full textThe understanding of the behavior of a low molecular weight liquid crystal within a rigid matrix is of great importance in order to make powerful composite materials of this type which can be interesting for many applications in particular in the display devices. The understanding of their response to an electric signal or a heating effect is of primary importance. The volume, in which the liquid crystal is located, strongly contributes to these effects. This work is a study relating to the structural evolution of the 4-cyano-4'-n-octyl-biphenyl (8CB)/polystyrene system from the homogeneous phase to the crystal line phase of the 8CB. The morphological analysis reveals that a formation of the objects according to the model of Ostwald-Ripening is at the origin of morphology, one also notes a strong dependence of the mesogene concentration on the segregated size domains. Thus, the study undertaken by calorimetry indicates that the smallest domains observed have a sufficient size to generate metastable phases of the 8CB. One shows by infra-red spectroscopy that the molecules of mesogene do not form aromatic p connections with the phenyl group of polystyrene, however various chemical groups of the two components are in interaction. The smectic order of the liquid crystal is studied by small angle neutron scattering. The smectic structure undergoes many perturbations according to the confinement.he influence of the liquid crystal in a radical polymerization process will be discussed as weIl. The kinetics of polymerization is strongly disturbed by the presence of mesogen underlining the significant character of the behavior of the growing radicals on the final polydispersity of polymer

Full textDistillation in columns equipped with structured packings is today the most used technology for separating air in its primary components. This process is characterized by a counter-current gasliquid flow in a structure made of parallel corrugated sheets arranged in packs. The description of such system is constrained by the large dimensions of the columns and by the complexity of the local-scale phenomena. This leads to consider a strategy of upscaling, based on the volume averaging method, to describe the system at a scale at which a resolution is possible. The work is organized in three steps. As a first step, considering moderate flow rates, a methodology ofupscaling is developed to predict the pressure drop in the flow of the gas phase taking into account small scale roughnesses due to the structure itself or perturbations of the liquid film. At this stage, the effect of this rough surface is characterized by an effective boundary condition. The boundary value problem for the flow of the gas phase is volume averaged in order to derive a system of equations at large scale. The resulting momentum balance is a generalized Darcy's law for inertial flows, involving effective parameters accounting for the roughness at the microscale. The second step of this work focuses on the interaction between the two phases at higher flow rates. It is shown that models involving non-standard macroscopic cross-terms are more prone to describe the flow in packings at high Reynolds numbers than the models usually used in porousmedia sciences. More generally, these models are shown to characterize accurately processes in highly permeable media, where drastic changes of pressure drop and retention are observed. We finally study the distribution of the liquid phase in the structured packing. It is shown that a specific approach involving a multiphase model with liquid decomposition is required to capture the anisotropy generated in the flow of the liquid phase. Two methods involving two pseudo-phases and four pseudo-phases for the liquid phase are compared. This last method captures a number of very different distribution regimes in the column and offers additional flexibility to describepreferential paths of the liquid

Full textTwo main research axes were defined for this Ph-D work : (i) studying the effect of light elements (B, C) on the stability of U-Si compounds, and (ii) identifying and physically characterizing new phases in the U-Pt-Si system. Minor additions of carbon and boron in U-Si samples revealed that the formation of U₅Si₄ would be correlated to the presence of these light elements, questioning its existence in the U-Si system. To evaluate the boron potential as a stimulant for non-metallic light elements of the second period (C, N, O), the isothermal section of the ternary phase diagram U-Si-B has been drawn at 927 °C, disclosing solid equilibrium mainly between the U-B and U-Si binary axes and the existence of the novel compound U₂₀Si₁₆B₃, isostructural to the carbon equivalent one. These results suggest a specific behavior for a given light element on the U-Si phase relations. The isothermal section at 900 °C of the U-Pt-Si ternary system was experimentally determined, leading to the discovery of 14 new phases, among which U₃Pt₄Si₆, U₃Pt₆Si₄ and U₃Pt7Si crystallized in their own structural type. As a prerequisite for this study, the phase relations in the U-Pt binary phase diagram were re-examined for the composition range 30 at.% and 70 at.% Pt, leading to a new assessment of the phase diagram which comprises the new U₃Pt₄ compound . The temperature of the transformations has been measured by DTA. By coupling our experimental results to the literature data, a modeling of the phase diagram by the Calphad method was performed. Physical characterizations of the new U₃Pt₄ compound revealed a moderate heavy fermion behavior, with ferromagnetic ordering below Tc = 7(1) K. As a side project, a study of the U₃TGe₅ family with the anti-Hf₅CuSn₃ structural type lead to the discovery of nine new compounds for T = V, Cr, Mn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta and W in addition to the previously reported U₃TiGe₅. Their magnetic and electronic properties were evaluated, disclosing moderate heavy-fermion compounds, with behavior evolving with valence electron count of the transition metal. For T = Ti, V compounds, correlation between spin and charge density waves are suspected below the magnetic ordering temperature

Full textMagnetoelectric (ME) multiferroic materials, which present simultaneously two coupled properties between ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity, have attracted much attention recently, not only owing to their application perspectives, e.g., next-generation magnetic RAM, but also for the rich physics associated with the understanding of this coupling. Inverse trirutiles are of particular interest here since ME properties have been reported in this family of compounds. This manuscript presents the study of inverse trirutile Mn2TeO6 and its Cr-substitution series Mn2-xCrxTeO6. Mn2TeO6 and Cr-substituted series were prepared by solid state reaction at relatively low-temperature (< 700°C). Thanks to an extensive use of different techniques performed in a large temperature range (1.5K to 700°C), encompassing synchrotron, neutron and electron diffraction experiments combined with physical properties measurements, the very complex behaviour of Mn2TeO6 was revealed. A structural transition at 400°C from tetragonal (P42/mnm) to monoclinic (P21/c) is observed first, and related to a cooperative Jahn-Teller effect. Further cooling the sample, a hysteretic structural transition is observed spanning more than 50K, which leads to the coexistence of two monoclinic phases. A series of magnetic transitions are also observed between 48K and 22K, with magnetization, heat capacity measurement and neutron diffraction. Cr-substituted (x ≥ 0.15) samples crystallize in the tetragonal phase, implying the suppression of the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect, and involving a simpler, though short–range, magnetic order

Full textHe complex rearrangement of the phase domains in a metallic alloy, called microstructure, strongly impacts its mechanical properties. To optimize them, it is therefore important to understand the formation and evolution of the microstructures. The present work is devoted to a specific type of microstructures, called Widmanstätten. These acicular structures are observed in many metallic alloys (FeC, CuZn ...). Their growth, driven by the diffusion of alloying elements, occurs at constant velocity, in isothermal conditions. Yet, several aspects of this growth remain poorly understood, which justifies this study. Using phase-field models, we first show that the anisotropy of the elastic energy plays a key role on the growth, in both 2D and 3D. We observe that the tip radius of curvature does not depend on a dynamical process but relies on the competition between interfacial and elastic energy. Then, we illustrate the ability of our model to correctly describe the size of the tip. We have then developed two models to take into account two different mechanisms of relaxation by plastic deformation: misfit dislocations and plastic activity in the matrix. We have observed that plasticity does not change the singular growth at constant velocity but yet modifies the value of the growth velocity and the tip radius of curvature. Finally, we have developed a formalism at a thinner scale which is able to describe step nucleation and growth, which are often observed in Widmanstätten structures. Preliminary results, for a non-conserved field, are presented here

Full textThe study of amorphous and crystalline phases of solutions gives essential insight on the behaviour of water under conditions relevant for biology and planetary science. The aim of this work is the exploration of the phase diagram of common electrolyte solutions (LiCl-water, NaCl-water) under pressure and temperature conditions (from 77 K to 330 K and up to 5 GPa) relevant for icy bodies such as Europe and Ganymede. In experiments and simulations we search for crystalline phases of ice at high-pressure, which can contain considerable amounts of salt in their lattice (up to 10 % of by weight). We probe the existence of these salty ices, and characterize two exotic, pressure induced properties, polyamorphism and ionic inclusions in the ice lattice. We have produced highly concentrated amorphous solutions of NaCl in water by fast quenching to liquid nitrogen temperature. Our neutron and X-ray diffraction experiments show that the local structure of this amorphous solution at ambient pressure is very similar to the high density amorphous structure of pure water. Our high-pressure experiments with the Paris-Edinburgh cell and our classical Molecular Dynamics calculations show only smooth structure and density changes during compression up to 4 GPa. We discuss the possibility of salt (NaCl) inclusions in the ice VII lattice at high pressure in our experiments by complementary calculations based on Density Functional Theory. The ice VII which crystallized in our experiments is either pure ice, or it contains only a small fraction of the ions from the solution. It may be possible that ions can be included in larger quantities at higher pressures

Full textThe application of an external perturbation in certain materials (such as temperature, pressure or light) often gives rise to the emergence of new macroscopic properties with their origin at the atomic level. Therefore, a detailed study of the atomic dynamics becomes essential to the understanding of processes such as chemical transformations or phase transitions. In the particular case of structural phase transitions, the symmetry of the crystal undergoes a transformation between two different states at a given critical value. The typical time scales of the structural dynamics occur on the order of few hundreds of femtoseconds to several picoseconds. The development of femtosecond laser pulses has enabled scientists to access the required time scales to explore the ultrafast dynamics of the lattice structure in the relevant time scales. More precisely, time-resolved diffraction has proven to be an ideal technique to track and unveil the out-of-equilibrium pathways followed by the lattice after a short laser pulse.This thesis presents experimental studies performed by time-resolved electron and X-ray diffraction techniques on two different structural phase transitions. In a first part, we demonstrate the capabilities of the ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) experimental setup developed at Laboratoire d’Optique Apliquée. Our UED experimental results performed on high quality single crystal samples are presented along with a quantitative study of the implications of dynamical diffraction effects in UED experiments. In a second part, we present a set of pump-probe electron diffraction experiments performed on GdTe₃, a compound belonging to the rare-earth Tritellurides family which presents a charge density wave state. The arrival of an optical excitation triggers the phase transition non-thermally with the out-of-equilibrium relaxation dynamics of the charge density wave state characterized by slowing down that increases with incident fluence as well as with initial sample temperature. These results shed more light on current controversial interpretations involving the emergence of photoinduced topological defects. In a third part, we present time resolved X-ray diffraction experiments performed at CRISTAL beamline at SOLEIL synchrotron. In this case we have studied the A15 compound Nb₃Sn, which displays a displacive phase transition evolving from cubic to tetragonal symmetry at thermal equilibrium. Our pump-probe results present evidence of a different lattice response with respect to the thermal equilibrium transition, encouragingf uture investigations on the dynamics of this material
Shakhovoy, Roman. "Structural properties and dynamics of alkali sulfates." Thesis, Orléans, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015ORLE2029/document.
Full textThe main goal of a present research is a detailed study of ionic transfer in double sulfates belonging to the LIMSO₄ family, where M = Na, K, Rb, Cs. The most attention has been paid to LiNaSO₄ as to the most interesting (in terms of the ion dynamics) compound among other double sulfates. We have carried out magnetic relaxation measurements and line width analysis for all compounds under consideration. Moreover, PGF NMR measurements of ₇li and ²³Na self-diffusion coefficients in LiNaSO4 have been carried out. For the first time, we have measured the phase transition kinetics in LiNaSO₄. For this purpose, we developed a new technique, which is based on the difference of spin-lattice relaxation times in the two phases, but which does not involve the direct measurement of T₁. Elaborated technique allows measuring time evolution of the volume of the appearing phase at controlled cooling rates. We have carried out NMR study of the sulfate ion reorientations in the low-temperature modification of LiNaSO₄. The influence of the SO ₄² reorientational jumps on the quadrupolar interactions of 7Li nuclei was investigated b y a j ump reorientational model, which has not previously been app lied to sulfates. The proposed method is a “low-cost” technique, since it does not require an ¹⁷O enriched sample and dispenses with time-consuming ³³S NMR. Other advantage of a given method is a possibility to probe reorientational motions without NMR relaxation measurements. To analyze motional narrowing in solids with two diffusing spin sublattices (such case occurs, e.g., in LiNaSO₄) we deduced a formula, which can be used for fitting of the two-step temperature dependencies of the NMR line width. The obtained function has been al so ex tended to the case, when a distribution of correlation times takes place. The advantage of this approach is that even in the case of distribution of correlation times, the fitting function could be expressed in the analytical form

Full textThe zirconium-hydrogen system is of nuclear safety interest, as the hydride precipitation leads to the cladding embrittlement, which is made of zirconium-based alloys. The cladding is the first safety barrier confining the radioactive products: its integrity shall be kept during the entire fuel-assemblies life, in reactor, including accidental situation, and post-operation (transport and storage). Many uncertainties remain regarding the hydrides precipitation kinectics and the local stress impact on their precipitation. The atomic scale modeling of this system would bring clarifications on the relevant mechanisms. The usual atomistic modeling methods are based on thermostatistic approaches, whose precision and reliability depend on the interatomic potential used. However, there was no potential allowing a rigorous study of the Zr-H system. The present work has indeed addressed this issue: a new tight-binding potential for zirconium hydrides modeling is now available. Moreover, this thesis provides a detailed manual for deriving such potentials accounting for spd hybridization, and fitted here on DFT results. This guidebook has be written in light of modeling a pure transition metal followed by a metal-covalent coupling (metallic carbides, nitrides and silicides)

Full textThe aim of this work is at first to study the electronic structure of bidimensional titanium carbide systems, belonging to the MXene family and also to synthesize thin films of such new materials to characterize their properties. The study of the electronic structure has been performed for the Ti3C2T2 MXene with a special attention to the T surface groups by using a combination of electron energy loss spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. This study, focused on both valence and core electrons excitations, enabled the identification of the surface group localization, their influence on the MXene electronic structure as well as their chemical nature. The limits of our TEM-based study is also discussed in view of irradiation phenomena which induce the loss of hydrogen atoms. The synthesis of a MXene thin film requires, beforehand, that of a MAX phase thin film: we opted for Ti2AlC, the precursor for the Ti2C MXene. The MAX phase thin film synthesis was carried out by ex-situ annealing of a multilayer layers. X-ray diffraction experiments and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy observations show that a highly textured Ti2AlC thin film is obtained above 600°C after the formation, at 400°C, of a metastable solid solution. Finally, by using the same process for V2AlC, we demonstrate that the initial phase orientation plays a key role for the texture of the thin film so obtained
