ABSTRACTThe mechanical stress of epitaxial SrF2 and CaF2 films on Si(111) substrates has been measured as a function of temperature by the substrate curvature technique. The temperature dependence of the stress in the SrF2 film is interpreted in terms of an energy barrier to dislocation motion. When the strain energy is smaller than the value needed to overcome the barrier, the change in stress is due mainly to elastic deformation. As the temperature change increases, the strain energy becomes large enough to overcome the barrier, at which point plastic deformation initiates. Unlike SrF2, the stress behavior of the CaF2 film for increasing temperature is quite different from its behavior for decreasing temperature. This unusual behavior is not understood at this time.

Grain boundaries (GBs) play a fundamental role in the strengthening mechanism of crystalline structures by acting as an impediment to dislocation motion. However, the presence of an aggressive environment such as hydrogen increases the susceptibility to intergranular fracture. Further, there is a lack of systematic investigations exploring the role of hydrogen on the dislocation–grain-boundary (DGB) interactions. Thus, in this work, the effect of hydrogen on the interactions between a screw dislocation and 〈111〉 tilt GBs in α -Fe were examined. Our simulations reveal that the outcome of the DGB interaction strongly depends on the underlying GB dislocation network. Further, there exists a strong correlation between the GB energy and the energy barrier for slip transmission. In other words, GBs with lower interfacial energy demonstrate a higher barrier for slip transmission. The introduction of hydrogen along the GB causes the energy barrier for slip transmission to increase consistently for all of the GBs examined. The energy balance for a crack initiation in the presence of hydrogen was examined with the help of our observations and previous findings. It was found that the presence of hydrogen increases the strain energy stored within the GB which could lead to a transgranular-to-intergranular fracture mode transition.

ABSTRACTDislocation segments which extend through the thickness of a film can move through the film only if dislocation line length is deposited or removed at the film/substrate and film/passivation (if any) interfaces. The dislocation density and, therefore, the energy stored in the film increase during plastic deformation. The reverse process, that is, the reduction of strain energy in the film by the reduction of dislocation line length, is here suggested to be the origin of a number of unexplained features of experimentally obtained stress-temperature curves, including very low (or even “negative”) yield stresses in compression, tensile-compressive flow stress asymmetries, increasing strength with increasing temperature upon heating, and a very strong Bauschinger-like effect which has been seen in thin Cu films. The results of stress-temperature measurements of passivated Cu thin films on silicon substrates are presented.

We study here the Raman frequencies of the lattice modes (γ and β phases) and of an internal mode (γ phase) as a function of temperature in solid nitrogen. The frequency shift derived from the anharmonic self energy, is fitted to the experimental data for the Raman frequencies of the modes considered here in the γ and β phases of solid nitrogen. From our fittings, we find that the Raman frequencies of the lattice modes decrease, whereas those of the internal mode increase with increasing temperature in solid nitrogen. The unusual behavior of the internal mode indicates that the interaction mechanism should be different in relation to the anharmonicity in the γ phase of solid nitrogen.

The energy and asymmetry of the optical absorption spectrum of solvated electrons, es- , change in a nonlinear fashion on changing the solvent through the series HOH, CH3OH, CH3CH3OH, (CH3)2CHOH, (CH3)3COH. The ultimate, quantum-statistical mechanical, interpretation of solvated electron spectra is needed to describe the solvent dependence. The previously reported optical spectrum of es- in tert-butanol was somewhat inaccurate, due to a small amount of water in the alcohol and to limitations of the infrared light detector. The present note records the remeasured spectrum and its temperature dependence. The value of the energy at the absorption maximum (EAmax) is 155 zJ (0.97 eV) at 299 K and 112 zJ (0.70 eV) at 338 K; the corresponding values of G epsilon max (10-22 m2 aJ-1) are 1.06 and 0.74. These unusually large changes are attributed to the abnormally rapid decrease of dielectric permittivity of tert-butanol with increasing temperature. The band asymmetry at 299 K is Wb/Wr = 1.8.Key words: optical absorption spectrum, solvated electron, solvent effects, tert-butanol, temperature dependence.

This paper presents theoretical studies on the effect of plastic deformation on the strain energy release rate, G, of a plate under uniaxial tension with a central propagating crack. The linear elastic fracture mechanics solution for G is improved by using the Dugdale model for the crack and yielded region to obtain the axial rigidity of the plate. The axial rigidity is then used to obtain the solution for the strain energy release rate as the crack propagates. It is found that plastic deformation has a pronounced effect on G. A correction factor is presented for correcting the linear elastic solution for the strain energy release rate. The correction factor is found to depend upon the nominal (gross) stress to material yield stress ratio and the crack length to plate width ratio.

The diffusivity–mobility ratio in degenerate semiconductors in the presence of a large magnetic field is found to increase with increasing temperature at a rate which is dependent on temperature at relatively low temperatures. It is also found that, at any given temperature, the ratio is increased by the application of the field.

In the heat «cooling» investigated the temperature dependence of the specific heat capacity and thermodynamic functions doped strontium alloy AK1М2 in the range 298,15—900 K. Mathematical models are obtained that describe the change in these properties of alloys in the temperature range 298.15—900 K, as well as on the concentration of the doping component. It was found that with increasing temperature, specific heat capacity, enthalpy and entropy alloys increase, and the concentration up to 0.5 wt.% of the alloying element decreases. Gibbs energy values have an inverse relationship, i.e., temperature — decreases the content of alloying component — is up to 0.5 wt.% growing.

We have found the correlation between nanoscopic phase separation in the copper-oxygen planes of YBCO and TlBCCO and the transport and magnetic properties of these materials in the a-b planes such as: the temperature dependence of the critical current density Jc( T ), the temperature dependence of the superfluid density ns( T )∝1/λ2( T ) at low temperatures, the temperature dependence of the normalized logarithmic relaxation rate S(T), and the dependence of the effective energy barrier against vortex motion on the current density Ueff( J ). These properties are controlled by the ratio of the amount of an underdoped filamentary phase to that of an optimally doped one.
