Basic Compositions

Many ferroelectric materials were found in the past. However, there is a limited number of structures that are adopted by the majority of the commercially important ferroelectric materials. In each of these structures, the ferroelectricity is tied to distortion of the coordination polyhedra of one or more of the cations in the structure. One example is the perovskite structure. Cations that seem to be especially susceptible to forming such distorted polyhedra include Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta, and Hf. All of these ions lie near crossover points between the stability of different electronic orbitals, and so may be likely to form distorted coordination polyhedra [5], Polarizable cations such as Pb and Bi are also common to many ferroelectric materials. In this case, it has been suggested that the lone pair electrons may play an important role in stabilizing ferroelectric structures. Thus the ferroelectric transition temperature and spontaneous distortion of PbTiC 3 is much larger than that of BaTiC 3. 

It is important to realize that thin films may differ in some substantial ways from bulk ceramics or single crystals of the same composition. One source of these differences is the substantial in-plane stresses that thin films are typically under, ranging from MPa to GPa [9], Because many ferroelectric materials are also ferroelastic, imposed stresses can markedly affect the stability of the ferroelectric phase, as well as the ease with which polarization can be reoriented in some directions. The phase diagram becomes considerably complicated by the presence of a dissimilar substrate [10]. It is obvious that the material coefficients are drastically changed.

To produce glass bottles, the mixture is prepared ia unit batches. Mixing is critical because complete homogeneity of the batch is necessary to produce quaUty glass. Gullet is added to the batch, usuady at discharge from the mixer. The cudet must be of the same color and basic composition, and be free of contamination such as metal bottie caps and tramp metal scraps.

By far the most abundant phosphate mineral is apatite, which accounts for more than 95% of all P in the Earth s crust. The basic composition of apatite is listed in Table 14-2. Apatite exhibits a hexagonal crystal structure with long open channels parallel to the c-axis. In its pure form, F , OH , or Cl occupies sites along this axis to form fluorapatite, hydroxyapatite, or chlor-apatite, respectively. However, because of the "open" nature of the apatite crystal lattice, many minor substitutions are possible and "pure" forms of apatite as depicted by the general formula in Table 14-2 are rarely found.

Any two samples of a particular mineral, whatever their source or place of origin, have the same basic composition and characteristic crystal structure moreover, no two different minerals have identical chemical composition and crystal structure (see Textboxes 8 and 21). Quartz, for example, is a common and abundant mineral composed of silicon dioxide, a compound that occurs naturally not only as quartz but also in other crystal structures, known as polymorphs (polymorphs are minerals that have the same chemical composition but different crystal structure), some of which, listed in Table 23, have been used for a variety of purposes. The crystal structure, which is essential for the characterization of solid materials, is just one of a wide range of physical properties, that is, properties not involving chemical differences, which provide convenient criteria for characterizing and identifying solids. 

Substances prepared under carefully controlled conditions and using very pure chemicals, in a modern laboratory, for example, contain only the basic component elements, those that determine the actual composition and nature of the substances. Natural substances, whether of mineral or biological origin, and also most synthetic (human-made) substances contain, in addition to their main components, impurities foreign to their basic composition. Most impurities usually enter substances such as minerals, for example, in relatively small amounts, when the substances are created. Others, such as those in some rocks and the wood of trees, do so in the course of their existence. Once within a substance, impurities become an integral part of the host substance and impair the purity of the substance. Although they alter the actual composition of substances, impurities do not affect their basic properties. 

In practically all natural and in most synthetic substances there are, mixed with the major components, impurities in minor and trace amounts. Minor components occur in concentrations below 1 % and down to about 0.1% of the total weight of a sample of the substance. Many additional impurities, usually referred to as trace components or trace elements, occur in host substances at extremely low concentration, generally below 0.1% their concentration is generally expressed either as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) (1 ppm is equivalent to a one gram in one ton 1 ppb, to one gram in one million tons). Minor and trace impurities do not alter the basic composition, nor do they affect most of the properties of substances, but they may change, even drastically, some of their physical properties. Trace impurities in otherwise colorless minerals, for example, often make the minerals highly colored.

Some of the unusual properties of a solid propellant results from its basic composition. The two general categories of double-base and composite rubber binder propellants have many subcategories, but no exhaustive compilation will be attempted here. Most modem propellants consist of a deformable binder phase and a crystalline salt filler, such as ammonium perchlorate and usually a powdered metallic fuel such as aluminum. Table I gives some typical compositions for both composite rubber-based and composite double-base systems. 

Pelitic rocks investigated in the same areas where corrensites are formed during alpine metamorphism (Kiibler, 1970) revealed the absence of both montmorillonite and kaolinite but the illite or mica fraction was well crystallized as evidenced by measurement of the "sharpness" of the (001) mica reflection (Kiibler, 1968). This observation places the upper thermal stability of the expandable and mixed layered trioctahedral mineral assemblages at least 50°C. above their dioctahedral correlevants. This is valid for rocks of decidedly basic compositions where no dioctahedral clay minerals are present. 

Extended discussion of these speculative relationships is unwarranted until more critical information is available. The multilinear aspect of coalifi-cation described previously (3, 6) appears to be well illustrated by the Brandon woods. It seems evident that from a single plant tissue various dissimilar materials may result as products of coalification. Those described represent macerals related to the vitrinite, micrinite, and resinite maceral series. Because of the position of these materials in their respective series—i.e., only slightly metamorphosed and anatomically relatable to the woods of extant plants— their detailed study using appropriate chemical and physical methods should reveal useful information concerning the basic composition of coals of both higher and lower rank and simultaneously add to our knowledge of the coalification process. 

Basically, compositions of phases in equilibrium are indicated with tielines. For convenience of interpolation and to reduce the clutter, however, various kinds of tieline loci may be constructed, usually as loci of intersections of projections from the two ends of the tielines. In Figure 14.1 the projections are parallel to the base and to the hypotenuse, whereas in Figures 14.2 and 14.6 they are horizontal and vertical. 

As an alternative to headspace extraction, analytes can be extracted by submersion of an SPME fiber in a liquid sample such as a beverage. While the ratio of analytes in the liquid phase is different from that which would be observed in the corresponding headspace gases, the concentration of most analytes is much higher in the liquid phase. Submersion SPME is most applicable when the basic composition in the food is desired. It is often used as a replacement for solvent extraction. 

Figure 2. Equilibrium concentrations in mole fractions of selected compounds at 500°K. and 1 atm. with composition of 40% oxygen, the indicated percentage of carbon, and the rest hydrogen. To this basic composition is added an amount of nitrogen equal to the amount of carbon. The nitrogen remains primarily as N2 but produces significant quantities of some interesting compounds. The free energy of carbon in the system equals that of graphite at the composition indicated by the arrow. At this point solid carbon would be precipitated if it could be formed there is no inflection of the curves at this point. The asphalt threshold is shown as a sharp inflection, sharpest of all for the aromatic and related heterocyclic compounds. If an atmosphere such as this were to condense, there would be about 1 molecule of glycine per droplet of condensate (6).
