Popis: The effect of mechanical grinding and subsequent low temperature annealing on the orthorhombic to monoclinic structural transition in the Er 5 Si 4 compound was studied by X-ray powder diffraction using both a conventional laboratory Cu Kα 1 radiation and a high-energy synchrotron source. A reversible phase transition from the orthorhombic to monoclinic structure occurs as a result of mechanical grinding. Low temperature annealing reverses the transformation and converts the formed monoclinic phase back to the orthorhombic, evidently by relieving residual stress introduced during the grinding.
