The atomic vibrations in single crystals of Cu(Au) alloys containing 1, 3, and 9 at.% Au have been studied by means of neutron inelastic scattering. Measurements have been carried out for the [00ζ]T and [ζζ0]T1 branches of all three alloys and also for the [00ζ]L branch of the 9% alloy. In general, the impurity-induced widths, Γ, and the shifts, Δ, from the corresponding frequencies for pure copper exhibit definite resonance behavior. The detailed behavior of Δ and Γ as functions of frequency is, however, generally not in good agreement with calculations based on a mass-defect theory valid only for low impurity concentration. From the observed behavior of Δ and Γ for different branches and impurity concentrations, we conclude that, although the large mass change is undoubtedly the most important factor, force-constant changes and concentration effects also play important roles in determining the details of the resonance behavior in Cu(Au) alloys.

IntroductionThere have been several t.e.m. studies (1,2,3,4) of the dislocation arrangements in the matrix and around the particles in dispersion strengthened single crystals deformed in single slip. Good agreement has been obtained in general between the observed structures and the various theories for the flow stress and work hardening of this class of alloy. There has been though some difficulty in obtaining an accurate picture of these arrangements in the case when the obstacles are large (of the order of several 1000's Å). This is due to both the physical loss of dislocations from the thin foil in its preparation and to rearrangement of the structure on unloading and standing at room temperature under the influence of the very high localised stresses in the vicinity of the particles (2,3).This contribution presents part of a study of the Cu-Cr-SiO2 system where age hardening from the Cu-Cr and dispersion strengthening from Cu-Sio2 is combined.

Measured growth and dissolution rates of single crystals and tablets were used to calculate the overall linear rates of growth and dissolution of CuSO4.5 H2O crystals. The growth rate for the tablet is by 20% higher than that calculated for the single crystal. It has been concluded that this difference is due to a preferred orientation of crystal faces on the tablet surface. Calculated diffusion coefficients and thicknesses of the diffusion and hydrodynamic layers in the vicinity of the growing or dissolving crystal are in good agreement with published values.

The πN scattering measurements from last couple of decades are not in very good agreement with each other. In fact, using the different data sets one finds different values for the pion-nucleon coupling constant. An analysis with theoretical constraints is the only way to produce accurate partial waves. In this analysis, the fixed-t dispersion relations are used to ensure analyticity in the invariant amplitudes and to decrease the effects of inaccuracies in the data base. Pietarinen's expansion is the method used to enforce the dispersion constraints. The strength of the analyticity constraints is illustrated with C± amplitudes in the forward direction.

A fluorine free copper precursor, Cu(tbaoac)2 with the chemical sum formula CuC16O6H26 is introduced for focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID). FEBID with 15 keV and 7 nA results in deposits with an atomic composition of Cu:O:C of approximately 1:1:2. Transmission electron microscopy proved that pure copper nanocrystals with sizes of up to around 15 nm were dispersed inside the carbonaceous matrix. Raman investigations revealed a high degree of amorphization of the carbonaceous matrix and showed hints for partial copper oxidation taking place selectively on the surfaces of the deposits. Optical transmission/reflection measurements of deposited pads showed a dielectric behavior of the material in the optical spectral range. The general behavior of the permittivity could be described by applying the Maxwell–Garnett mixing model to amorphous carbon and copper. The dielectric function measured from deposited pads was used to simulate the optical response of tip arrays fabricated out of the same precursor and showed good agreement with measurements. This paves the way for future plasmonic applications with copper-FEBID.

Abstract We present a new C++ module for simulation of channeling radiation to be implemented in Geant4 as a discrete physical process. The module allows simulation of channeling radiation from relativistic electrons and positrons with energies above 100 MeV for various types of single crystals. In this paper, we simulate planar channeling radiation applying the classical approach in the dipole approximation as a first attempt not yet considering other contributory processes. Simulation results are proved to be in a rather good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract(001) MgO single crystals were implanted with 150 keV krypton ions (Kr+) at a fluence of 5.1016 ions.cm-2 . The implanted surface, observed with an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) exhibits striking features that can be described as undulations with a wavelength of 0.5 [μm. We correlate these features to the decrease in density and the stresses induced by the implantation damage. As a matter of fact, a model of surface instabilities provides a relationship between the wavelength of the ondulations and internal stresses. Using this model, implantation stresses are calculated to 2.2 GPa. This is in good agreement with the value of 2 GPa obtained with the help of the microindentation technique and the literature data. Some effects of an ionizing post-irradiation on stress and surface roughness are described.

AbstractDwarf galaxies enable us to study early phases of galaxy evolution and are key to many open questions about the hierarchical structure of the Universe. The Large and Small Magellanic Cloud (LMC and SMC) are the most luminous dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way (MW). They are most likely gravitationally bound to each other, and their last interaction occurred about 200 Myr ago. Also, they are in an early phase of minor merging with the MW and will impact the Galactic structure in the future because of their relatively large mass. However, there are still major uncertainties regarding their origin and their interactions with one another and with the Milky Way. We cross-correlated the VMC and Gaia DR2 data to select a sample of stars that likely belong to the Magellanic Bridge, a feature formed of gas and stars which is connecting the LMC and the SMC. We removed potential MW foregound stars using a combination of parallax and colour-magnitude criteria and calculated the proper motions of the Bridge member stars. Our analysis supports a motion of star towards the LMC, which was found to be in good agreement with a dynamical simulation, of the SMC being stripped by the LMC.

We performed a detailed structural, magnetotransport, and superconducting analysis of thin epitaxial Ba(Fe1−xNix)2As2 films with Ni doping of x = 0.05 and 0.08, as prepared by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction studies demonstrate the high crystalline perfection of the films, which have a similar quality to single crystals. Furthermore, magnetotransport measurements of the films were performed in magnetic fields up to 9 T. The results we used to estimate the density of electronic states at the Fermi level, the coefficient of electronic heat capacity, and other electronic parameters for this compound, in their dependence on the dopant concentration within the framework of the Ginzburg–Landau–Abrikosov–Gorkov theory. The comparison of the determined parameters with measurement data on comparable Ba(Fe1−xNix)2As2 single crystals shows good agreement, which confirms the high quality of the obtained films.
