Strong gravitational field causes the displacement or/and sedimentation of atoms in solids, by which we can changes the crystalline state or/and composition in multicomponent condensed matter. Perovskite-type doped manganite, La1-xSrxMnO3(LSMO) has unique magnetoresistance effect which is called “colossal magnetoresistance (CMR)”. In this study, the strong gravity experiment (0.40x106G, 400°C, 20h) was performed on the LSMO oriented crystal to examine the change in composition or structure. The LSMO crystal whose growing crystal direction is normal to (214) plane was prepared by the floating zone method. The EPMA and XRD results of the gravity sample revealed that the La compositions decrease in the crystal grain, while the structure did not change much. The SQUID analysis showed that the magnetic property of the gravity sample had changed.

AbstractThe reticular theory of twinning is extended to include the contribution of different, coexisting sublattices that consist of quasi-restored nodes (cooperative sublattices) and are characterized by a specific superposition index. The overall degree of quasi-restoration of the twin lattice is a function of the superposition index of the cooperative sublattices, and is expressed by a new parameter, called

The growth of phases by reactive diffusion in Mo-Si and W-Si systems are compared. The crystal structures of MSi2 and M5Si3 phases (M = Mo, W) are similar in these two systems. However, the diffusion rates of the components change systematically with a change in the atomic number. Integrated diffusion coefficients in both phases increase with an increasing atomic number of refractory elements i.e. from Mo to W. On the other hand, the ratio of diffusivities of the components decreases. This indicates a relative increase in the diffusion rates of the metal components with increasing atomic number and a difference in defects concentrations in these two systems.

Atomic force microscope (AFM) machining has the potential to become an essential technology for manufacturing micro/nano-scale devices. In literature, this technique has been successfully employed to machine various types of materials, including semiconductor materials and metals. However, the effect of material anisotropy in terms of crystal direction is rarely considered in the existing studies. In this paper, we conduct nano-scratching experiments on the (1 0 0) plane of single crystal silicon surface with a diamond tip in an AFM machine. Three levels of crystal direction of nano-scratching are considered. Four levels of normal loading are applied. Machining performances are mainly evaluated by the groove morphology. Also, the wear coefficients and scratch ratio are calculated to the anti-wear performance. Based on the pile up volume and cutting volume respectively, the presence of the ploughing and cutting mechanisms is determined. The experiment results indicate that the applied normal load significantly affect the groove depth and debris morphology. The scratching direction has a pronounced effect on the friction coefficient and the calculated scratching hardness. By observing the debris morphology and cracks formation, the dependence of ductile to brittle transformation mechanism of silicon machining on the crystal direction is also discussed.
