An allotropic transition from face-centered-cubic (fcc) to hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) Ni(Si) solid solution in Ni95Si5 and Ni90Si10 during nanocrystallization by mechanical alloying is reported. The transformation was identified as a defect-induced melting accompanied by a volume expansion of 8.6% and was observed when fcc Ni(Si) reached a critical crystallite size of 10 nm. Calculation based on equation of state showed that a 37% reduction in tetragonal shear modulus and a negative pressure of about 8.7 GPa were generated at the onset of transformation.

AbstractThe compression of argon is measured between 10 K and 296 K up to 20 GPa and and up to 114 GPa at 296 K in diamond anvil cells. Three samples conditioning are used: (1) single crystal sample directly compressed between the anvils, (2) powder sample directly compressed between the anvils, (3) single crystal sample compressed in a pressure medium. A partial transformation of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase to a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure is observed above 4.2–13 GPa. Hcp phase forms through stacking faults in fcc-Ar and its amount depends on pressurizing conditions and starting fcc-Ar microstructure. The quasi-hydrostatic equation of state of the fcc phase is well described by a quasi-harmonic Mie–Grüneisen–Debye formalism, with the following 0 K parameters for Rydberg-Vinet equation: $$V_0$$ V 0 = 38.0 Å$$^3$$ 3 /at, $$K_0$$ K 0 = 2.65 GPa, $$K'_0$$ K 0 ′ = 7.423. Under the current experimental conditions, non-hydrostaticity affects measured P–V points mostly at moderate pressure ($$\le$$ ≤ 20 GPa).

The effects of ausforming in an Fe30Mn10Cr10Co high-entropy alloy on the microstructure, hardness, and plastic anisotropy were investigated. The alloy showed a dual-phase microstructure consisting of face-centered cubic (FCC) austenite and hexagonal close-packed (HCP) martensite in the as-solution-treated condition, and the finish temperature for the reverse transformation was below 200 °C. Therefore, low-temperature ausforming at 200 °C was achieved, which resulted in microstructure refinement and significantly increased the hardness. Furthermore, plasticity anisotropy, a common problem in HCP structures, was suppressed by the ausforming treatment. This, in turn, reduced the scatter of the hardness.

Close-packed metal surfaces and heteroepitaxial systems frequently display a structure consisting of regularly spaced misfit dislocations, with a network of domain walls separating face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) domains. These structures can serve as templates for growing regularly spaced arrays of nanoislands. We present a theoretical investigation of the factors controlling the size and shape of the domains, using Pt(111) as a model system. Upon varying the chemical potential, the surface structure changes from being unreconstructed to the honeycomb, wavy triangles, "bright stars", or Moiré patterns observed experimentally on Pt(111) and other systems. For the particular case of Pt(111), isotropically contracted star-like patterns are favored over uniaxially contracted stripes.

AbstractDiscrete breathers (DBs) have been described among pure metals with face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, but for hexagonal close-packed (HCP) metals, their properties are little studied. In this paper, the properties of standing and moving DBs in beryllium HCP metal are analyzed by the molecular dynamics method using the many-body interatomic potential. It is shown that the DB is localized in a close-packed atomic row in the basal plane, while oscillations with a large amplitude along the close-packed row are made by two or three atoms, moving in antiphase with the nearest neighbors. Dependences of the DB frequency on the amplitude, as well as the velocity of the DB on its amplitude and on parameter δ, which determines the phase difference of the oscillations of neighboring atoms, are obtained. The maximum velocity of the DB movement in beryllium reaches 4.35 km/s, which is 33.7% of the velocity of longitudinal sound waves. The obtained results supplement our concepts about the mechanisms of localization and energy transport in HCP metals.

The unified analytic melt-shear model that we introduced a decade ago is generalized to multi-phase materials. A new scheme for calculating the values of the model parameters for both the cold ( T = 0 ) shear modulus ( G ) and the melting temperature at all densities ( ρ ) is developed. The generalized melt-shear model is applied to molybdenum, a multi-phase material with a body-centered cubic (bcc) structure at low ρ which loses its dynamical stability with increasing pressure (P) and is therefore replaced by another (dynamically stable) solid structure at high ρ . One of the candidates for the high- ρ structure of Mo is face-centered cubic (fcc). The model is compared to (i) our ab initio results on the cold shear modulus of both bcc-Mo and fcc-Mo as a function of ρ , and (ii) the available theoretical results on the melting of bcc-Mo and our own quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations of one melting point of fcc-Mo. Our generalized model of G ( ρ , T ) is used to calculate the shear modulus of bcc-Mo along its principal Hugoniot. It predicts that G of bcc-Mo increases with P up to ∼240 GPa and then decreases at higher P. This behavior is intrinsic to bcc-Mo and does not require the introduction of another solid phase such as Phase II suggested by Errandonea et al. Generalized melt-shear models for Ta and W also predict an increase in G followed by a decrease along the principal Hugoniot, hence this behavior may be typical for transition metals with ambient bcc structure that dynamically destabilize at high P. Thus, we concur with the conclusion reached in several recent papers (Nguyen et al., Zhang et al., Wang et al.) that no solid-solid phase transition can be definitively inferred on the basis of sound velocity data from shock experiments on Mo. Finally, our QMD simulations support the validity of the phase diagram of Mo suggested by Zeng et al.

Cobalt sulfide thin films were synthesized from acidic chemical baths by varying the deposition time. The powder X-ray diffraction studies indicated that there are hexagonal CoS, face-centered cubic Co3S4, and cubic Co9S8 phases of cobalt sulfide. The crystallite size of the hexagonal CoS phase decreased from 52.8 nm to 22.5 nm and that of the cubic Co9S8 phase increased from 11 nm to 60 nm as the deposition time increased from 2 hrs to 3.5 hrs. The scanning electron microscopic images revealed crack and pinhole free thin films with uniform and smooth background and few large polygonal grains on the surface. The band gap of the cobalt sulfide thin films decreased from 1.75 eV to 1.3 eV as the deposition time increased from 2 hrs to 3.5 hrs. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the films confirmed the emission of ultraviolet, violet, and blue lights. The intense PL emission of violet light at 384 nm had red shifted with increasing deposition time that could be resulted from the increase in the average crystallite size. The FTIR spectra of the films indicated the presence of OH, C-O-H, C-O, double sulfide, and Co-S groups. As the deposition time increased, the electrical resistivity of the cobalt sulfide thin films decreased due to the increase in both the crystallite size and the films’ thickness.
