Owing to the crystal lattice modulation by the surface acoustic wave diffraction, satellites appear. Their intensity and angular separation depend on the amplitude and wavelength of the ultrasonic superlattice. Experimental results are compared with the corresponding theoretical model that exploits the kinematical diffraction theory. This experiment shows that the propagation of the surface acoustic waves creates a dynamical diffraction grating on the crystal surface, and this can be used for space-time modulation of an X-ray beam.}, language = {en} } @article{RoshchupkinOrtegaPlotitcynaetal.2016, author = {Roshchupkin, Dmitry and Ortega, Luc and Plotitcyna, Olga and Erko, Alexei and Zizak, Ivo and Vadilonga, Simone and Irzhak, Dmitry and Emelin, Evgenii and Buzanov, Oleg and Leitenberger, Wolfram}, title = {Piezoelectric Ca3NbGa3Si2O14 crystal: crystal growth, piezoelectric and acoustic properties}, series = {Journal of geophysical research : Space physics}, volume = {122}, journal = {Journal of geophysical research : Space physics}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0947-8396}, doi = {10.1007/s00339-016-0279-1}, pages = {2803 -- 2812}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Ca3NbGa3Si2O14 (CNGS), a five-component crystal of lanthanum-gallium silicate group, was grown by the Czochralski method. The parameters of the elementary unit cell of the crystal were measured by powder diffraction. The independent piezoelectric strain coefficients d(11) and d(14) were determined by the triple-axis X-ray diffraction in the Bragg and Laue geometries. Excitation and propagation of surface acoustic waves (SAW) were studied by high-resolution X-ray diffraction at BESSY II synchrotron radiation source. The velocity of SAW propagation and power flow angles in the Y-, X-and yxl/+36 degrees-cuts of the CNGS crystal were determined from the analysis of the diffraction spectra. The CNGS crystal was found practically isotropic by its acoustic properties.}, language = {en} } @misc{NoechelReddyWangetal.2015, author = {N{\"o}chel, Ulrich and Reddy, Chaganti Srinivasa and Wang, Ke and Cui, Jing and Zizak, Ivo and Behl, Marc and Kratz, Karl and Lendlein, Andreas}, title = {Nanostructural changes in crystallizable controlling units determine the temperature-memory of polymers}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-81124}, pages = {8284 -- 8293}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Temperature-memory polymers remember the temperature, where they were deformed recently, enabled by broad thermal transitions. In this study, we explored a series of crosslinked poly[ethylene-co-(vinyl acetate)] networks (cPEVAs) comprising crystallizable polyethylene (PE) controlling units exhibiting a pronounced temperature-memory effect (TME) between 16 and 99 °C related to a broad melting transition (∼100 °C). The nanostructural changes in such cPEVAs during programming and activation of the TME were analyzed via in situ X-ray scattering and specific annealing experiments. Different contributions to the mechanism of memorizing high or low deformation temperatures (Tdeform) were observed in cPEVA, which can be associated to the average PE crystal sizes. At high deformation temperatures (>50 °C), newly formed PE crystals, which are established during cooling when fixing the temporary shape, dominated the TME mechanism. In contrast, at low Tdeform (<50 °C), corresponding to a cold drawing scenario, the deformation led preferably to a disruption of existing large crystals into smaller ones, which then fix the temporary shape upon cooling.
