ABSTRACTA new, accurate method for determining equilibrium segregation to defects in solids is employed to examine the segregation of Cu to grain boundaries in Cu-Ni alloys. The results are in very good agreement with the ones given by Monte Carlo. This method is based upon a point approximation for the configurational entropy, an Einstein model for vibrational contributions to the free energy. To achieve the equilibrium state of a defect in an alloy the free energy is minimized with respect to atomic coordinates and composition of each site at constant chemical potential. One of the main advantages this new method enjoys over other methods such as Monte Carlo, is the efficiency with which the atomic structure of a defect, segregation and thermodynamic properties can be determined. The grain boundary free energy can either increase or decrease with increasing temperature due to the competition between energetic and configurational entropy terms. In general, the grain boundary free energy increases with temperature when the segregation is strongest.

AbstractErbium excited state deactivation is studied for two fluorinated complexes based on N-(P,P-ditetrafluorophosphinoyl-P,P-ditetrafluorophenyl phosphinimidates and N-(P,P-dipentafluoro phosphinoyl)-P,P-dipentafluorophenyl phosphinimidates ligands. We show that the substitution of a fluorine atom in para-position by an hydrogen atom on each phenyl ring of the perfluorinated organic ligand results in a decrease in near infrared luminescence lifetimes from 800 µs to 70 µs when measured under vacuum on sublimated powder samples. These experiments show that the introduction of C-H bonds, although outside the first coordination sphere of the erbium ion, can still induce a one order of magnitude decrease in its excited state lifetime. The found lifetime however is still longer than most reported partially fluorinated complexes, which opens the way for new functionalized complexes.
