In this work, we investigated a novel Al-Mg-Si alloy, which was developed from an AA 6082, in order to considerably improve the yield and tensile strengths whilst retain excellent ductility. The new alloy possesses a higher content of Si than specified by AA 6082, and, in addition, it contains copper and zirconium. The alloy was characterized in the as-cast condition, after homogenization, extrusion, and T6 heat treatment using light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and tensile testing. After T6 temper, tensile strengths were around 490 MPa with more than 10% elongation at fracture. The microstructure consisted of small-grained Al-rich matrix with α-AlMnSi and Al3Zr dispersoids, and Q′-AlCuMgSi and β-Mg2Si-type precipitates.

AbstractKaolinite and synthetic γ-Al(OH)3 (gibbsite or hydrargillite) were reacted with phenylphosphonic, phenylphosphinic and 2-nitrophenol-4-arsonic acids. The products were studied by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy/selected area electron diffraction/ energy dispersive X-ray/Fourier transform infrared and simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis. The acids were not intercalated but, instead, easily destroyed the structure of the minerals. Lamellar Al phenylphosphonate and aluminium phenylphosphinate and phenylarsonate with polymeric linear-chain structures were formed from kaolinite. The reaction between gibbsite and the same acids yielded almost identical products. No evidence of formation of grafted kaolinite derivatives after the reaction with phenylphosphonic acid was found.

ABSTRACTThe reaction between Ni60Ta40 amorphous alloy and (001) GaAs was studied by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, Auger spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. At 400°C formation of Ni GaAs at the interface with GaAs was observed. After heat treatment at 600°C in vacuum a layered structure of TaAs/NiGa/GaAs has been formed. The NiGa layer has epitaxial relations to the GaAs substrate. The vertical phase separation can be explained by opposite diffusion directions of nickel and arsenic atoms.

An inorganic/organic magnetic nanocomposite was synthesized and analytically characterized using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and thermal analysis. The evaluation of the magnetic properties revealed that both the magnetite and the magnetite/chitosan nanocomposite are superparamagnetic with a paramagnetic component, having the saturation magnetization values of 48.04 emu/g, and 41.3 emu/g, respectively. The synthesized material is indented for the adsorption of two known commercial-available pesticides (active ingredients deltamethrin and thiamethoxam, respectively) from aqueous solutions.

Metal oxide photocatalysts often lead to partial or complete mineralization of organic pollutants. On irradiation with UV-visible light, metal oxides catalyze redox reactions in the presence of air and O2 and water. Using ascorbic acid as a new combustion agent, ZnO was rapidly synthesized. Nano-Zn/CeO2 composites were prepared by a heterogeneous-precipitation method using (NH4)2CO3 as precipitation agent. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry, ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and differential thermal analysis were used to analyse the microstructures of the synthesized materials. Differential thermal analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that ZnO was coated by CeO2. Herein, a nano-Zn/Ce composite was explored as a catalyst for Rhodamine B photodegradation with a 125-W lamp as the UV radiation source in a batch reactor. The results show the photocatalytic properties of the nano-Zn/Ce composite were superior to ZnO, CeO2, and nano-Ce/Zn composites.

Using transmission electron microscopy, x – ray diffraction analysis, tensile testing and fractography the changes were analyzed that occur in microstructure and tensile properties of E635 alloy annealed after quenching from b – region of phase diagram. The interrelation is demonstrated between microstructure and tensile properties depending on deformation/heat treatment conditions.

AbstractThe influence of kaolinite and montmorillonite on the identification of pseudoboehmite was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared absorption (IR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In the randomly oriented samples containing different proportions of the clay minerals and pseudoboehmite, pseudoboehmite was not easily detectable by XRD even in a sample containing 40% of pseudoboehmite. Preheating of the samples at 110-300°C improved the detection limit to 30%. In samples obtained by mixing suitable amounts of the suspensions of the clay minerals (<2μm)and pseudoboehmite, the identification of pseudoboehmite was even more difficult. In oriented samples, pseudoboehmite was detectable only when present in amounts >30%, at low full-scale counts per second (1000-400 cps), on preheated samples in the presence of kaolinite, or on the samples that were Mg-saturated and solvated with ethylene glycol in the presence of montmorillonite. Identification of pseudoboehmite in the presence of kaolinite or montmorillonite by DTA, IR or TEM failed, even in samples containing 50% pseudoboehmite. In the presence of both kaolinite and montmorillonite (1:1 w/w), the identification of pseudoboehmite became much more difficult than in the presence of either mineral alone. The presence of pseudoboehmite in soils may, thus, be undetectable by standard clay mineralogical analyses.

Nearly monodisperse bullet-like Cu3ZnInSnS6 (CZITS) nanocrystals with wurtzite structure were successfully synthesized through optimized noninjection method. The structure, composition, morphology and optical properties of CZITS nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy and UV-Vis–NIR absorption. Their suitable bandgap and photoresponsive behavior indicate a high potential application in the field of solar cells. The growth mechanism of the as-synthesized CZITS nanocrystals was preliminarily discussed. It was found that the formation of CZITS could be separated into two steps: nucleation of Cu7S4 and growth of the CZITS main body.

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.
