M. Juezlorenzo et al., TIME AND TEMPERATURE RESOLVED X-RAY-DIFFRACTION FOR STUDIES OF SOLID-STATE REACTIONS AND PHASE-TRANSITIONS, Fresenius' journal of analytical chemistry, 349(1-3), 1994, pp. 163-165
Three examples for the application of time and temperature resolved X-
ray diffraction for the investigation of solid state reactions and pha
se transitions are given. Samples were submitted to an isothermal temp
erature program or to stepwise heating/cooling, while diffraction patt
erns were measured continuously. The applications include the in situ
identification of reaction products or phases, the determination of ki
netic parameters, the observation of thermal expansion and the formati
on of layers.
