The crystallization of amorphous zinc telluride (a-ZnTe) has been studied as a function of temperature in the range 350 K < T < 390 K. The crystallization process is thermally activated with an activation energy of 1.6 eV. The time for the onset of significant crystallization at room temperature for films of air-annealed a-ZnTe is found to be ~100 years. The study of the crystallization process is essential in order to determine the maximum time allowed for a measurement to be performed at a given temperature on a sample of amorphous material without significantly altering its amorphous state.

Dislocation Annihilation

Thermally activated energy, which varies linearly with static recovered strain, is calculated from static recovery experiments of pure aluminum initially plastically deformed by strain-rate-controlled tensile tests up to 10% engineering strain at room temperature. The activation energy at the initial static recovery is 20 kJ mol−1, which is much less than that of pure copper and attributed to the dislocation annihilation by glide or cross-slip as well as higher stacking fault energy. Once dislocation annihilation processes are exhausted, more energy is required for subgrains to form and then grow. Eventually the recovered strain is slowed down and gradually saturated.

Dta Curves

A crystallization process in an amorphous state under isothermal condition is examined for binary alloys ZrNi and ZrNi2 by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Time dependence of DTA curves is measured at several constant temperatures just below crystallization temperature. The fraction of crystallized volume in amorphous state and its time evolution during isothermal annealing are measured. These data are analyzed by the Johnson-Mehl–Avrami formula. The Avrami exponent is 2.4±0.1 for ZrNi and 3~4 depending on the set temperature for ZrNi2. The activation energy for crystallization of amorphous ZrNi and ZrNi2 was estimated by plots of lnt1/2 vs. 1/T.

Magnetic susceptibility measurements showed both a weak response to magnetic field and a lack of the Curie-Weiss region for CuEu2W2O10and Cu3Eu2W4O18tungstates characteristic for the multiplet widths comparable to thermal energy. Magnetization measurements displayed the linear temperature dependence with the lower magnetic moment for Cu3Eu2W4O18in comparison with CuEu2W2O10, indicating that the effect of the electric charges associated with the surrounding ligands can change the multiplet width of individual states. It is affecting the electrical properties of examined tungstates which reveal the insulating state and low relative permittivity εr ~ 29 in case of CuEu2W2O10and the thermally activated p-type electrical conduction for Cu3Eu2W4O18with the activation energy of 1.11 eV and the large value of εr ~ 217 above the room temperature.

Silicon carbide-based ceramics can be rapidly densified above approximately 1850 °C due to a transient liquid phase resulting from the reaction between alumina and aluminum oxycarbides. The resulting ceramics are fine-grained, dense, and exhibit high strength at room temperature. SiC hot pressed at 1875 °C for 10 min in Ar was subjected to creep deformation in bending at elevated temperatures between 1500 and 1650 °C in Ar. Creep was thermally activated with an activation energy of 743 kJ/mol. Creep rates at 1575 °C were between 10−9/s and 10−7/s at an applied stress between 38 and 200 MPa, respectively, resulting in a stress exponent of ≍1.7.

Insight Into

The ultimate strengths of basalt and granite were measured over a range of stress rates from 2×10 to [Formula: see text] psi per second. A comparison of basalt and granite showed that, although their static strengths were close, their dynamic strengths were different. The static strengths of basalt and granite were 27.5 and 29 kpsi, respectively, at the stress rate of 2×10 psi per second while their strengths at the stress rate of [Formula: see text] psi per second were 59 and 70 kpsi, respectively. In order to obtain an insight into the basic mechanisms of rock fracturing, the combined effects of stress rate and temperature were studied. The strength of basalt was increased from 27.5 kpsi at room temperature to 45 kpsi at liquid nitrogen temperature at the stress rate of 2×10 psi per second. The mechanisms of fracturing were thermally activated. The activation energy for basalt at 50 kpsi equalled 450 calories per mole. The dynamic modulus of basalt measured by the pulse technique was [Formula: see text] psi. The value of the dynamic modulus obtained at a stress rate of [Formula: see text] psi per second was [Formula: see text] psi.

Radical Interaction

Products of (a) allyl radical interaction with unheated Co3O4, (b) thermally activated 1,5-hexadiene or thermally activated allyl bromide with unheated Co3O4, (c) moderately heated Co3O4 with unheated 1,5-hexadiene or allyl bromide were studied under Knudsen flow conditions. Cobalt suboxide Co3O4, a typical catalyst of deep oxidations yielded acrolein in reaction with allyl radicals as early as at the room temperature of the catalyst. A similar acrolein formation was also observed in the allyl radical interaction with other oxides exhibiting different catalytic properties. It appears that acrolein is in general the primary product of the allyl radical interaction with the oxides. The results are discussed and compared with previous data obtained with MoO3.

It is often necessary to assess the effect of aging at room temperature over years/decades for hardware containing elastomeric components such as oring seals or shock isolators. In order to determine this effect, accelerated oven aging at elevated temperatures is pursued. When doing so, it is vital that the degradation mechanism still be representative of that prevalent at room temperature. This places an upper limit on the elevated oven temperature, which in turn, increases the dwell time in the oven. As a result, the oven dwell time can run into months, if not years, something that is not realistically feasible due to resource/schedule constraints in industry. Measuring activation energy (Ea) of elastomer aging by test methods such as tensile strength or elongation, compression set, modulus, oxygen consumption, etc. is expensive and time consuming. Use of kinetics of weight loss by ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA) using the Ozawa/Flynn/Wall method per ASTM E1641 is an attractive option (especially due to the availability of commercial instrumentation with software to make the required measurements and calculations) and is widely used. There is no fundamental scientific reason why the kinetics of weight loss at elevated temperatures should correlate to the kinetics of loss of mechanical properties over years/decades at room temperature. Ea obtained by high temperature weight loss is almost always significantly higher than that obtained by measurements of mechanical properties or oxygen consumption over extended periods at much lower temperatures. In this paper, data on five different elastomer types (butyl, nitrile, EPDM, polychloroprene and fluorocarbon) are presented to prove that point. Thus, use of Ea determined by weight loss by TGA tends to give unrealistically high values, which in turn, will lead to incorrectly high predictions of storage life at room temperature.
