In Fe-C-Mn steels, the carbon atoms in solution can be either completely free in the iron matrix or in interaction with manganese atoms. In this context, a methodology based on the combined use of thermoelectric power and internal friction measurements was developed in order to evaluate quantitatively these two populations of carbon atoms. This methodology was used to determine the binding energy of the C-Mn dipoles and to follow the precipitation kinetics of the two populations of carbon atoms and/or their segregation kinetics to the dislocations during an isothermal treatment. Lastly, the influence of each population of carbon atoms on the strain aging of extra-mild steels was discussed.

Fuel particles for the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) contain a layer of pyrolytic silicon carbide to act as a miniature pressure vessel and primary fission product barrier. Optimization of the SiC with respect to fuel performance involves four areas of study: (a) characterization of as-deposited SiC coatings; (b) thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions between SiC and fission products; (c) irradiation behavior of SiC in the absence of fission products; and (d) combined effects of irradiation and fission products. This paper reports the behavior of SiC deposited on inert microspheres and irradiated to fast neutron fluences typical of HTGR fuel at end-of-life.

Thermal stability, adhesion and electronic resistivity of the Cu alloy films with diffusion barrier elements (large atom Sn and small atom C) have been studied. Ternary Cu (0.6 at.% Sn, 2 at.% C) films were prepared by magnetron co-sputtering in this work. The microstructure and resistivity analysis on the films showed that the Cu (0.6 at.% Sn, 2 at.% C) film had better adhesion with the substrate and lower resistivity (2.8 μΩ·cm, after annealing at 600 °C for 1 h). Therefore, the doping of carbon atoms makes less effect to the resistivity by decreasing the amount of the doped large atoms, which results in the decreasing of the whole resistivity of the barrierless structure. After annealing, the doped elements in the film diffused to the interface to form self-passivated amorphous layer, which could further hinder the diffusion between Cu and Si. So thus ternary Cu (0.6 at.% Sn, 2 at.% C) film had better diffusion barrier effect. Co-doping of large atoms and small atoms in the Cu film is a promising way to improve the barrierless structure.

For energy production and also for the glass industry, finding new refractory alloys which could permit to increase the process temperatures to 1200°C or more is a permanent challenge. Chromium base alloys can be good candidates, considering the melting point of Cr itself, and also its low corrosion rate in molten glass. Two families of alloys have been studied for this purpose, Cr-Mo-W and Cr-Ta-X alloys (X= Mo, Si..). A finer selection of compositions has been done, to optimize their chemical and mechanical properties. Kinetics of HT oxidation by air, of corrosion by molten glass and also creep properties of several alloys have been measured up to 1250°C. The results obtained with the best alloys (Cr-Ta base) give positive indications as regards the possibility of their industrial use.

This work reports a detailed characterization of the antimicrobial profile of two trimethoprim-like molecules (compounds 1a and 1b) identified in previous studies. Both molecules displayed remarkable antimicrobial activity, particularly when combined with sulfamethoxazole. In disk diffusion assays on Petri dishes, compounds 1a and 1b showed synergistic effects with colistin. Specifically, in combinations with low concentrations of colistin, very large increases in the activities of compounds 1a and 1b were determined, as demonstrated by alterations in the kinetics of bacterial growth despite only slight changes in the fractional inhibitory concentration index. The effect of colistin may be to increase the rate of antibiotic entry while reducing efflux pump activity. Compounds 1a and 1b were susceptible to extrusion by efflux pumps, whereas the inhibitor phenylalanine arginyl β-naphthylamide (PAβN) exerted effects similar to those of colistin. The interactions between the target enzyme (dihydrofolate reductase), the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and the studied molecules were explored using enzymology tools and computational chemistry. A model based on docking results is reported.
