AbstractFirst principle FLAPW-GGA calculations have been performed with the purpose to understand the effect of Ti-doping on the electronic properties for the newly discovered tetragonal iron arsenide-oxide Sr4Sc2Fe2As2O6 (abbreviated as FeAs42226) as the possible parent phase for the new FeAs superconductors. Our results show that the insertion of Ti into Sc sublattice of this five-component iron arsenide-oxide phase leads to the resolute change of electronic structure of FeAs42226. Namely, the insulating oxygen-containing [Sr4Sc2O6] blocks in Ti-doped FeAs42226 became conducting, and this differs essentially from the known picture for all others FeAs superconductors where the conducting [Fe2As2] blocks are alternated with insulating blocks. Moreover in sharp contrast with FeAs-based superconductors with Fe 3d bands near the Fermi level, for Ti-doped FeAs42226 in this region the Ti 3d states are dominated, whereas the Fe 3d states are suppressed.

Structure of bainite in Cu-Al and Cu-Zn-Al alloys has been reported as 3R, 9R or 18R long period stacking structure (LPS) by X-ray and electron diffraction studies. In the present work, a Cu-25.5 (at)% Al alloy sample was heated at 900°C for 2 h then isothermally held at 450°C for 60 s before quenching into iced brine. FIG.1 shows a TEM bright field image of bainite plates (marked B) grown from grain boundary. The parent phase ( with DO3 structure ) has transformed to martensite (marked M ) during cooling from 450° C to 0°C. Both bainite and martensite plates have dense striations inside.Careful diffraction study on a JEOL 2000FX TEM with accelerating voltage 200 KV revealed (FIG.2) that the diffraction patterns contai_ning the same zone axis [001] ( hexagonal index ) or [111]c ( cubic index ) are from a bainite plate with obtuse V-shape. They are indexed as [010], [140], [130], [120], [230], [340] and [110] zone pattern for hexagonal system respectively.

In present paper two ribbons of the Ni44Co6Mn36In14 (at.%) were prepared under different melt-spinning technique conditions. Microstructure of the ribbons was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Depending on the liquid ejection overpressure two types of ribbons microstructures were observed. Ribbon T1 for which ejection overpressure was 1.5 bar showed typical melt-spun ribbon microstructure consisting of a top layer of small equi-axial grains and columnar grains below. For T2 ribbon (ejection overpressure 0.2 bar) only a small fraction of the columnar grains were observed. Structure analysis of the ribbons performed by XRD showed that at room temperature both ribbons have B2 parent phase superstructure. No gamma phase precipitates were observed. In order to determine the orientation of the grains the EBSD technique was applied.

Microstructures and deformation behaviour of Ti-45Ni-5Cu and Ti-46Ni-5Cu alloy ribbons prepared by melt spinning were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, thermal cycling tests under constant load and tensile tests. Spherical Ti2Ni particles coherent with the B2 parent phase were observed in the alloy ribbons when the melt spinning temperature was higher than 1773 K. Average size of Ti2Ni particles in the ribbons obtained at 1873 K was 8 nm, which was smaller than that (10 nm) in the ribbons obtained at 1773 K. Volume fraction of Ti2Ni phase in the ribbons obtained at 1873 K was 40%, which was larger than that (20%) in the ribbons obtained at 1773 K. The stress required at temperatures of Af + 10 K for the stress-induced martensitic transformation increased from 93 MPa to 229 MPa and apparent elastic modulus of the B2 parent phase increased from 56 GPa to 250 GPa with increasing the melt spinning temperature from 1673 K to 1873 K in Ti-45Ni-5Cu alloy ribbons. The critical stress for slip deformation of the ribbons increased by coherent Ti2Ni particles, and thus residual elongation did not occur even at 160 MPa, while considerable plastic deformation occurred at 60 MPa in the ribbons without Ti2Ni particles. Almost perfect superelastic recovery was found in the ribbons with coherent Ti2Ni particles, while only partial superelastic recovery was observed in the ribbons without coherent Ti2Ni particles.

The powder diffraction pattern of the perovskite AgNbO3 has been measured using CuKα1 radiation with an incident beam focusing monochromator to eliminate the Kα2 component. Indexing the pattern shows that the multipartite cell is 2×2×4 times that of the pseudocubic subcell. Comparison is made with the diffraction pattern of NaNbO3, which has a similar multipartite unit cell. There are strong similarities, but close inspection shows that the structures are not isomorphous. The paper concludes with a discussion of the figure of merit FN for pseudosymmetric structures. It is suggested that two figures of merit be reported. The first should be the standard one using either all measured reflections or just the first 30. The proposed second figure of merit does not include any superlattice reflections. These superlattice reflections tend to be very weak, resulting in a low completeness factor and relatively large error in the measurement of their position. This effect produces an unrealistically low value of the standard figure of merit. By including only “main” reflections, i.e., those reflections that are common to both the low-symmetry and high-symmetry parent phase (if it exists), a much better estimate of the quality of the fitting of the measured diffraction pattern is obtained.

Abstract In this work, a macroscopic material model for simulation two distinct dissipative phenomena taking place in FCC metals and alloys at low temperatures: plasticity and phase transformation, is presented. Plastic yielding is the main phenomenon occurring when the yield stress is reached, resulting in nonlinear response of the material during loading. The phase transformation process leads to creation of two-phase continuum, where the parent phase coexists with the inclusions of secondary phase. An identification of the model parameters, based on uniaxial tension test at very low temperature, is also proposed.

Grinding Time

A high-energy ball milling technique was used for production of the equiatomic NiTi alloy. The grinding batch was prepared in two quantities of 10 and 20 g. The alloy was produced using various grinding times. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, hardness measurement and differential scanning calorimetry were used for materials characterization at various milling stages. The produced alloy was studied by means of microstructure, chemical and phase composition, average grain and crystallite size, crystal lattice parameters and microstrains. Increasing the batch mass to 20 g and extending the grinding time to 140 h caused the increase in the average size of the agglomerates to 700 µm while the average crystallites size was reduced to a few nanometers. Microstrains were also reduced following elongation of milling time. Moreover, when the grinding time is extended, the amount of the monoclinic phase increases at the expense of the body-centered cubic one—precursors of crystalline, the B2 parent phase and the B19′ martensite. Crystallization takes place as a multistage process, however, at temperatures below 600 °C. After crystallization, the reversible martensitic transformation occurred with the highest enthalpy value—4 or 5 J/g after 120 and 140 h milling, respectively.

The problem of step motion during lateral growth in solid-solid phase transformations is re-examined. Results are obtained for the steady motion of an individual ledge when volume diffusion in the parent phase is the predominant contribution to the growth rate. A comparison is made between our results and the earlier work of Jones & Trivedi (1971). There are significant differences between the two sets of results particularly in the limit of small perturbations to the Laplacian diffusion field. To confirm the accuracy of the results presented here the calculations have been made by two different methods.

Atomic Substitution

The effect of different atomic substitutions at Mn sites on the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties in Ni50Mn35Co2Sn13 alloy has been studied in detail. The substitution of Ni or Co for Mn atoms might lower the Mn content at Sn sites, which would reduce the d-d hybridization between Ni 3d eg states and the 3d states of excess Mn atoms at Sn sites, thus leading to the decrease of martensitic transformation temperature TM in Ni51Mn34Co2Sn13 and Ni50Mn34Co3Sn13 alloys. On the other hand, the substitution of Sn for Mn atoms in Ni50Mn34Co2Sn14 would enhance the p-d covalent hybridization between the main group element (Sn) and the transition metal element (Mn or Ni) due to the increase of Sn content, thus also reducing the TM by stabilizing the parent phase. Due to the reduction of TM, a magnetostructural martensitic transition from FM austenite to weak-magnetic martensite is realized in Ni51Mn34Co2Sn13 and Ni50Mn34Co2Sn14, resulting in a large magnetocaloric effect around room temperature. For a low field change of 3 T, the maximum ∆SM reaches as high as 30.9 J/kg K for Ni50Mn34Co2Sn14. A linear dependence of ΔSM upon μ0H has been found in Ni50Mn34Co2Sn14, and the origin of this linear relationship has been discussed by numerical analysis of Maxwell’s relation.
