The higher mechanical strength of Al87Ce3Ni8.5Mn1.5 nanophase amorphous composites has been obtained with two methods. The first nanophase amorphous composites are directly produced by the single roller spin quenching technology. The method taken for the second nanophase amorphous composites is at first to obtain amorphous single-phase alloy, followed by annealed at different temperatures .The formative condition, the microstructure, the particle size, the volume fraction of α-Al phase and microhardness of nanophase amorphous composites etc have been investigated and compared by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The microstructure of composites produced by the second method is higher than the former, the fabricated material structure of the system is more uniform and the process is easier to control.

Zn Alloy

It is known that the phase-decomposition process of 60/40 Cu-Zn alloy is so-called the bainitic transformation, and decomposition of α-phase from the β’-phase is as follow: β’ → α9R → αfcc. In this work,decomposition of α-phase from the β’ single phase of Cu-40.26at.%Zn alloy has been investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) to understand the phase transformation of this alloy. Especially, striations in the α-phase has been focused on the special feature for the change of the structure and hardening of this alloy during annealing. The result of a comparison between this alloy and the Si added alloy is also reported.

Sintered Powder

Ultrafine powder of CaCu2.80Zn0.20Ti4O12 ceramic was prepared using a novel semi-wet method. DTA/TG analysis of dry powder gives pre-information about formation of final product around 800°C. The formation of single phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The average particle size of sintered powder of the ceramic obtained from XRD and Transmission electron microscopy was found 59 nm and 102 nm, respectively. Energy Dispersive X-ray studies confirm the stoichiometry of the synthesized ceramic. Dielectric constant of the ceramic was found to be 2617 at room temperature at 1 kHz.

AbstractThe deformation structure of polycrystalline TiAl-based alloys after uniaxial compression at temperature range from 77K to 1073K has been examined using transmission electron microscopy. It was observed that a large number of faulted dipoles are commonly present in deformation structure of the alloys compressed at low temperature 77K and room temperature. The nature of the faulted dipoles has been determined to be intrinsic stacking fault lying on {111} plane, bounded by 1/6<112] partial dislocations. A possible mechanism for the formation of the faulted dipoles was suggested. The results of the statistic observation shows that faulted dipoles in deformed Ti-48A1 and Ti-(47–48) Al-X (X = V,Cr,Mn) alloys are less than those in single phase Ti-52A1 alloy, and the number of the faulted dipoles decreases with increasing deformation temperature. The effect of the faulted dipoles on plastic deformation of the alloy was discussed.

We have fabricated the iron oxide nanowires directly from iron foils through the simple heating in N2 ambient. We have characterized the samples by means of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and selected area diffraction pattern. The EDX spectrum revealed that the nanowires contained elements of Fe and O. The iron oxide nanowires were crystalline with diameters in the range of 30-200 nm. We have discussed the possible growth mechanisms.

Single phase AlN nanowires are fabricated by a sublimation method. They were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), typical selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The SEM and TEM images show that most of the nanowires have diameters of about 10–60 nm. The crystal structure of AlN nanowires revealed by XRD, SAED and HRTEM shows the AlN nanowires have a wurtzite structure.

AbstractWe have deposited microcrystalline, gc-Si, silicon films by using RF reactive magnetron sputtering (RMS) at high substrate temperatures, Ts > 500°C, and at a relatively low partial pressure of hydrogen, PH = 0.40 mTorr, and at low Ts ∼200- 300°C, but with a higher PH > 2 mTorr. We have detected μc-crystallinity by Raman scattering and transmission electron microscopy. We discuss differences in the growth mechanisms for formation of μc-Si under these two deposition conditions.

ABSTRACTThe formation of single phase FeP nanocrystals has been achieved by the reaction of Fe(III) salts (iron(III)acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)3) and iron(III)chloride (FeCl3)) with tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine in trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO)/trioctylphosphine (TOP) at elevated temperatures. The sizes of nanoparticles formed differ markedly depending on the initial iron salt used. Use of Fe(acac)3 always resulted in comparatively bigger particle formation (∼5 nm) while FeCl3 forms much smaller particles (∼1 nm) as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
