The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.

The occurrence of the basis-forbidden Si 200 and Si 222 reflections in specular X-ray diffraction ω–2Θ scans is investigated in detail as a function of the in-plane sample orientation Φ. This is done for two different diffractometer types with low and high angular divergence perpendicular to the diffraction plane. It is shown that the reflections appear for well defined conditions as a result of multiple diffraction, and not only do the obtained peaks vary in intensity but additional features like shoulders or even subpeaks may occur within a 2Θ range of about ±2.5°. This has important consequences for the detection and verification of layer peaks in the corresponding angular range.

Abstract In this study, the influence of Al2O3 particle amounts on the mechanical, tribological, and corrosion properties of the composite NiP-Al2O3 coating was evaluated. AISI 4140 steel was coated with NiP through an autocatalytic bath with the addition of Al2O3 particles maintained in suspension by mechanical stirring. Following, the coated samples were annealed at 600 °C to increase the hardness and to create an interdiffusion layer, which improves coating adhesion and corrosion resistance. The coating surface was characterized by SEM/EDS, XRD, microhardness, wear resistance, and corrosion tests. The results showed that the coating particles' amount depends on the bath agitation speed, the sample orientation during the deposition, and the volume of Al2O3 particles in the bath composition. Also, the number of particles in the coating affects the deposition kinetics, the thickness of the interdiffusion layer, which affects the wear and corrosion resistance.

Counting Statistics

Microanalytical techniques for the analysis of beryllium using the electron probe have been evaluated for Be metal, Be-rich silicate minerals, and three Be-rich synthetic silicate glasses. Despite difficulties typical of ultra-light element analysis in geologic materials, quantitative data for Be may be obtainable through careful analytical measurements, determination of optimal operating conditions, and consideration of parameters such as sample orientation and beam-induced migration.Analyses for Be were obtained using a layered synthetic microstructure “crystal” (Mo/B4C) on the JEOL 8900 electron microprobe at the USGS, Denver, Colorado. The optimum accelerating voltage for Be detection was determined to be 8kV (Fig.l). Beryllium analyses in glass and mineral phases were successful using a beam current of 30nA and a 50 μm beam diameter. Due to low count rates, peak counting times of 10 minutes (beryl) and 30 minutes (glass) were required in order to achieve reasonable counting statistics and detection limits.

Residual Strains

A new experimental method was developed to quantify parameters of swelling-induced shape change in articular cartilage. Full-thickness strips of cartilage were studied in free-swelling tests and the swelling-induced stretch, curvature, and areal change were measured. In general, swelling-induced stretch and curvature were found to increase in cartilage with decreasing ion concentration, reflecting an increasing tendency to swell and “curl” at higher swelling pressures. An exception was observed at the articular surface, which was inextensible for all ionic conditions. The swelling-induced residual strain at physiological ionic conditions was estimated from the swelling-induced stretch and found to be tensile and from 3–15 percent. Parameters of swelling were found to vary with sample orientation, reflecting a role for matrix anisotropy in controlling the swelling-induced residual strains. In addition, the surface zone was found to be a structurally important element, which greatly limits swelling of the entire cartilage layer. The findings of this study provide the first quantitative measures of swelling-induced residual strain in cartilage ex situ, and may be readily adapted to studies of cartilage swelling in situ.

Stm Images

ABSTRACTStructural features of TiS2 were studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction was applied as a complementary technique. STM images in air and at room temperature revealed, beside the trigonal symmetry of the lattice, several new features having this symmetry as well. We conclude that these features not only are to be described by structural defect phenomena which affect octahedral sites in the 1T-CdI2 structure but tetrahedral sites as well. Sample orientation determination by X-ray diffraction provides a unique relation between feature types and sites. A model is proposed in which displaced Ti atoms account for the observed features.
