In this dissertation, a systematic approach to the rapid production of the high temperature HfO2-Ta2O5-TiO2 phase diagrams is presented that highlights the combined use of: (i) in-situ high temperature X-ray diffraction (up to 3000 ˚C), (ii) Thermal expansion measurements (iii) extraction of atomic motifs with associated material symmetry analysis and (iv) calorimetry. The tools and methodologies developed herein are essential for the development of next generation high temperature materials. The extreme temperatures were achieved by utilizing a quadrupole lamp furnace (QLF) (200 – 2000 ± 4 ˚C) and a conical nozzle levitator system equipped with a CO2 laser (CNL) (700 – 3000 ± 100 ˚C) in conjunction with synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. These devices allow for (i) phase identification as a function of temperature, (ii) crystal structure determination using the charge flipping algorithm, (iii) extraction of anisotropic co-efficients of thermal expansion from Rietveld analysis, (iv) measurement of lattice variant deformation during phase transformations and finally (v) identification of atomic motifs within material systems that relate the observed the observed crystal structures. Comprehensive energetic studies were performed to accurately determine the stability of compounds and determine critical temperatures for phase transitions.
