The effect of the addition of 11 mol % R2O3 (R = Sc, Y, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) on the phase and elemental composition, microstructure, and electrical conductivity of hafnium oxide was studied. When all additives, with the exception of scandium, are introduced into HfO2, solid solutions with a cubic structure such as fluorite are formed. The HfO2-Sc2O3 sample is an Hf7Sc2O17 phase having a fluorite-type lattice with rhombohedral distortions that undergoes reversible changes in the cubic structure at a temperature of ~ 760 ° C. It has been established that the nature of the dopant practically does not affect the microstructure of the HfO2-R2O3 ceramics; all samples are coarse-grained with a grain size of up to 10 μm. It was shown that the conductivity of HfO2-R2O3 samples is determined by the volume of grains. The most promising materials for use as a solid oxide electrolyte are HfO2-Tm2O3 and HfO2-Yb2O3, in which high conductivity is combined with structural stability.

Recently we have developed a form of polarization microscopy that forms images using optical properties that have previously been limited to macroscopic samples. This has given us a new window into the distribution of structure on a microscopic scale. We have coined the name differential polarization microscopy to identify the images obtained that are due to certain polarization dependent effects. Differential polarization microscopy has its origins in various spectroscopic techniques that have been used to study longer range structures in solution as well as solids. The differential scattering of circularly polarized light has been shown to be dependent on the long range chiral order, both theoretically and experimentally. The same theoretical approach was used to show that images due to differential scattering of circularly polarized light will give images dependent on chiral structures. With large helices (greater than the wavelength of light) the pitch and radius of the helix could be measured directly from these images.

Dislocations in silicon produced by plastic deformation are generally dissociated into partials. 60° dislocations (Burgers vector type 1/2[101]) are dissociated into 30°(Burgers vector type 1/6[211]) and 90°(Burgers vector type 1/6[112]) dislocations. The 30° partials may be either of “glide” or “shuffle” type. Lattice images of the 30° dislocation have been obtained with a JEM 100B, and with a JEM 200Cx. In the aforementioned experiments a reasonable but imperfect match was obtained with calculated images for the “glide” model. In the present experiment direct structure images of 30° dislocation cores have been obtained with a JEOL 4000EX. It is possible to deduce the 30° dislocation core structure by direct inspection of the images. Dislocations were produced by compression of single crystal Si (sample preparation technique described in Alexander et al.).

AbstractThe toxic leadership refers to destructive behaviours and leaders’ personal characteristics which cause serious damage to the subordinates and organizations. Still, what is toxic for the military in one country can be good in another one, given the cultural differences. This article wants to emphasize, from a theoretical approach, the main characteristics and effects of toxic leadership within the military organization.
