Texture analysis of a turbostratically disordered Ca-montmorillonite
نویسندگان
چکیده
Turbostratic disorder, consisting in a disorder in which different layers have different rotations with respect to an axis, is commonly found in montmorillonite. The effect of this kind of disorder on diffraction profiles is significant and must be taken into account, especially in quantitative phase analysis. The effect of the turbostratic disorder in textured materials has never been investigated. In the present work, we have developed a strategy to perform quantitative texture analysis on turbostratically disordered Ca-montmorillonite aggregates that were uniaxially compressed. Synchrotron diffraction images were analyzed with a Rietveld method and disordered and ordered models are compared. The method proved to be reliable and ready for further applications.

Superconducting ferecrystals: turbostratically disordered atomic-scale layered (PbSe)1.14(NbSe2)n thin films
Hybrid electronic heterostructure films of semi- and superconducting layers possess very different properties from their bulk counterparts. Here, we demonstrate superconductivity in ferecrystals: turbostratically disordered atomic-scale layered structures of single-, bi- and trilayers of NbSe2 separated by PbSe layers. The turbostratic (orientation) disorder between individual layers does not d...
متن کاملEffect of humic acid on nickel(II) sorption to Ca-montmorillonite by batch and EXAFS techniques study.
The influence of humic acid (HA) on Ni(II) sorption to Ca-montmorillonite was examined by using a combination of batch sorption experiments and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy technique. The sorption of Ni(II) on HA-montmorillonite hybrids is strongly dependent on pH and temperature. At low pH, the sorption of Ni(II) is mainly dominated by Ni-HA-montmorillonite and...
متن کاملModelling of geochemical reactions and experimental cation exchange in MX 80 bentonite.
Bentonites are widely used for waste repository systems because of their hydrodynamic, surface and chemical-retention properties. MX 80 bentonite (bentonite of Wyoming) contains approximately 85% Na/Ca-montmorillonite and 15% accessory minerals. The dominant presence of Na/Ca-montmorillonite in this clay mineral could cause it to perform exceptionally well as an engineered barrier for a radioac...

The sorption speciation of Ni(II) on Ca-montmorillonite was evaluated using a combination of batch experiments, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy and modeling. The pH and temperature at the aqueous-montmorillonite interface affects both the extent of Ni(II) sorption as well as the local atomic structure of the adsorbed Ni(II) ions. At 0.001 mol L(-1) Ca(NO(3))(2) and...
