ABSTRACTVarious thicknesses of AlGaAs are grown on GaAs substrates by MOCVD. Low temperature photoluminescence of the substrate is observed even for layers of AlGaAs 24μm thick. Direct excitation by the 488.0 nm pumping radiation and excitation by reradiation from the AlGaAs are eliminated as causes. From photoluminescence and EBIC studies, evidence is given to show that the substrate luminescence is caused by a much larger than expected electron diffusion length. A small trace of GaAs luminescence may be due to alloy segregation in the AlGaAs films themselves.

An investigative study was conducted on how two different dies designed to produce sound specimens for evaluating mechanical properties of semi-solid alloys could be filled optimally. The first die contains one cavity that produces a wedge with a sectional thickness varying from 19.05 mm (0.75 in) to 9.52 mm (0.375 in). The second die contains four cavities fed by a single runner, producing ASTM-type round bars with a diameter of 9.52 mm (0.375 in). Experiments were undertaken to cast partial and complete shots of A356 alloy test specimens under controlled injection conditions. Flow patterns developed from the moment the alloy entered the cavity were noted, including difficulties experienced in balancing flow in the four-cavity die. Microstructural abnormalities were observed in the bar specimens examined using optical and electron microscopy. It was found that control of filling and solidification in the wedge die was much easier and specimens produced did not result in any significant alloy segregation.

The adsorption of oxygen and carbon monoxide on surfaces of dysprosium, copper, and their bimetallic “alloys” DymCun was studied by work function measurements. In the starting stage of adsorption of oxygen, copper surfaces are more reactive than dysprosium surfaces, and bulk oxide appears in the sub-surface copper layers at room temperature; this was also observed for the bimetallic surfaces, where the starting adsorption of oxygen took place nearly exclusively on copper. With dysprosium, the bulk oxide did not form at room temperature; instead, oxygen was adsorbed on the surface to form a layer consisting of species of two kinds with substantially different dipole moments. Carbon monoxide practically did not adsorb on copper at 25 °C, whereas on dysprosium it exhibited dissociative adsorption. On the bimetallic surfaces (DyCu and DyCu6) the amount of adsorbed CO decreased proportionally to the increasing Cu content of the alloy. Segregation of copper in the surface layer, observed for the bimetallic DymCun “alloys”, resulted in an additional decrease in the amount of adsorbed CO.

The history of aluminium-lithium alloys development has been reviewed in this paper. According to the strength, weld ability and corrosion resistance, thermal stability and plasticity, aluminium-lithium alloy has been categorized and the defects of aluminium-lithium alloys in early stage have been analyzed. As compared the third generation of aluminium-lithium alloy with normal aluminum alloy and composite materials, it indicates aluminium-lithium alloy has better performance, lower cost and reduced weight. After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the rapid solidification, ingot casting metallurgy and electromagnetic simulated microgravity methods in synthesis of aluminium-lithium alloy, it has been found microgravity method has prominent effect on reducing the alloy segregation and lithium losses. Finally, the future development of aluminium-lithium alloys has been discussed.
