Measurements of the Hall and magneto-Seebeck effects were performed on polycrystalline Cd3−xZnxAs2 alloys at room temperature. The range of x considered here (0 to 1) is characterized by samples which are normally n type. Analysis of the data with Kane's model gives a minimum of the matrix element P at x = 0.6 which is interpreted as the manifestation of the band crossover suggested by Wagner et at. The scattering parameter also exhibits a minimum but at x ~ 0.2. A possible explanation may involve the manner in which the zinc atoms occupy the lattice vacancies.

Room-temperature measurements of Faraday rotation, magneto–thermoelectric power, and infrared reflectance have been made on homogeneous coarsely polycrystalline n-type samples of GaxIn1−xSb alloys produced by the horizontal Bridgman technique. Using these data and a Kane equation for the (000) conduction band, values of the bottom of the band effective mass m00* have been determined over the composition range 0 < x < 0.85, i.e. the range in which the subsidiary [Formula: see text] minima make no contribution. The results from the three different techniques show very good agreement. From the data, values are obtained also for the square of the matrix element P2, the high-frequency dielectric constant ε∞, and the scattering parameter s for the various alloy specimens.

Room-temperature free-carrier Faraday rotation measurements in the wavelength range 6–25 μ and Hall-coefficient measurements have been made on polycrystalline n-type samples of InAsxSb1−x alloys of carrier concentration ~1017/cm3. Using these data and a Kane equation for the conduction band, values of the bottom of the band effective mass m0* have been determined over the whole alloy range. The results are compared with similar data from magnetothermoelectric power measurements and also with previously calculated data. From the m0* results, values of the square of the matrix element P2 have been calculated as a function of x.

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.

B2-ordered iron aluminide intermetallic alloys exhibit a combination of attractive properties such as low density and good corrosion resistance. However, the practical applications of these alloys are limited by their poor fracture toughness and low room temperature ductility. One current strategy for overcoming these undesirable properties is to attempt to modify the basic chemistry of the materials with alloying additions. These changes in the chemistry of the material cannot be fully understood without a knowledge of the site-distribution of the alloying elements. In this paper, the site-distributions of a series of 3d-transition metal alloying additions in B2-ordered iron aluminides are studied with ALCHEMI.A series of seven alloys of stoichiometry Fe50AL45Me5, with Me = {Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu}, were prepared with identical heating cycles. Microalloying additions of 0.2% B and 0.1% Zr were also incorporated to strengthen the grain boundaries, but these alloying additions have little influence on the matrix chemistry and are incidental to this study.

Some butterfly martensite nuclei were observed in an Fe-27.6Ni-0.89V-0.05C alloy. The alloy was austenitized at 1200°C for 1 hour. Some samples were aged at 850° C for 40 minutes and quenched in 10% brine at room temperature. All the samples were cooled in ethyl alcohol for martensite transformation.A nucleus in an unaged specimen is shown in Fig.1. The nucleus has certain contrast different from the matrix and is shaped like one wing of a butter fly martensite. The SADP of the circled region is measured to be: da=dh, and approximate to dγ(111) and dm(110) with ∠AOB = 55° . It is similar to [011]f.c.c and b patterns in the anglez ∠AOB and the ratio ra/rb, respectively. The SADP shows that the structure of the nucleus is between f.c.c and b.c.c. The dislocation structure within the nucleus is shown in Fig.2. Their Burgers vectors and line directions are also given in it. There are many long dislocations near it without dislocations piled up as shown in Fig.3.Long dislocations are closed at one end as an envelope.

ABSTRACTIon implantation at room temperature of lead into aluminium leads to spontaneous phase separation and formation of lead precipitates growing topotactically with the matrix. Unlike the highly pressurised (∼ 1–5 GPa) solid inclusions formed after noble gas implantations, the pressure in the lead precipitates is found to be less than 0.12 GPa.Recently we have observed the intriguing result that the lead inclusions in aluminium exhibit both superheating and supercooling [1]. In this paper we review and elaborate on these results. Small implantation-induced lead precipitates embedded in an aluminium matrix were studied by X-ray diffraction. The (111) Bragg peak originating from the lead crystals was followed during several temperature cycles, from room temperature to 678 K. The melting temperature for bulk lead is 601 K. In the first heating cycle we found a superheating of the lead precipitates of 67 K before melting occurred. During subsequent cooling a supercooling of 21 K below the solidification point of bulk lead was observed. In the subsequent heating cycles this hysteresis at the melting transition was reproducible. The full width of the hysteresis loop slowly decreased to 62 K, while the mean size of the inclusions gradually increased from 14.5 nm to 27 nm. The phenomena of superheating and supercooling are thus most pronounced for the small crystallites. The persistence of the hysteresis loop over successive heating cycles demonstrate that its cause is intrinsic in nature, and it is believed that the superheating originates from the lack of free surfaces of the lead inclusions.

ABSTRACTWe report transport properties of polycrystalline TMGa3(TM = Fe and Ru) compounds in the temperature range 313K<T<973K. These compounds exhibit semiconductorlike behavior with relatively high Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity, and Hall carrier concentrations at room temperature in the range of 1017- 1018cm−3. Seebeck coefficient measurements reveal that FeGa3isn-type material, while the Seebeck coefficient of RuGa3changes signs rapidly from large positive values to large negative values around 450K. The thermal conductivity of these compounds is estimated to be 3.5Wm−1K−1at room temperature and decreased to 2.5Wm−1K−1for FeGa3and 2.0Wm−1K−1for RuGa3at high temperature. The resulting thermoelectric figure of merit,ZT, at 945K for RuGa3reaches 0.18.

Several measurements on light hadron spectroscopy have been achieved with Beijing Spectrometry III (BESIII). BESII results such as a near threshold enhancement on the [Formula: see text] invariants mass spectrum namely X(1860) and a resonance X(1835) have been confirmed with 225 million J/ψ data accumulated from June 12, 2009 to July 28, 2009. Along with some other preliminary BESIII results including observations of X(1870), X(2120) and X(2370); the first direct measurement of a0(980)/f0(980) mixing; and an improved measurement on the matrix element of decay η′ → ππη have been reported at the 4th international workshop on charm physics.
