ABSTRACTNovel preparation process of V-Ni alloys for hydrogen purification membrane using chemical transport was investigated. Vanadium, NH4Cl, and PtCl2 as evaporating source were put in one side of a fused-silica tube, and Ni substrate was put in the other side. The fused-silica tube was sealed in vacuo, and set in a furnace with temperature gradients. Evaporating source temperature was 1173–1273 K. Substrate temperature was 3–100 K higher than the evaporating source temperature. This process consists of formation of HCl from NH4Cl and PtCl2, chemical transport of vanadium under temperature gradient via chlorides in the presence of HCl, and diffusion of the transported V into the Ni substrate. EDX line profile of cross section of the substrates after the process demonstrated that V diffused into the Ni substrates. Distribution of V concentration in the substrates was dependent on the substrate temperature and the temperature difference between the substrate and the evaporating source. Heating condition was optimized to obtain homogeneous V-Ni alloy. When the substrate temperature and evaporating-source temperature were 1228 K and 1223 K, respectively, V diffused homogeneously into the Ni substrate with thickness of 20 μm, and V concentration attained in the substrate was higher than 70at%.

In this paper, the diffusion isotope effect and diffusion mechanism are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations in two liquid alloys, Ni-Ag and Ni-Cu. The values for the diffusion isotope effect parameter allow for the estimate of the number of atoms which are moving cooperatively in a basic diffusion event as experienced by a given atomic species. It is shown that the composition dependence of ND is typically very small. However, the temperature dependence of this parameter is much more pronounced. In addition, it is shown that, on average, in these alloys and temperatures considered, ND is limited to the range: 5<ND<17. This is consistent with results of molecular dynamics simulations on the average coordination number calculations. This would suggest that, together with a given atom, depending on temperature, the neighbouring atoms are all involved in the basic diffusion event.

Examination of the architecture of a semiconductor-based microelectronics device shows that metallic, highly conductive components are an integral part of the miniature circuits. As geometries become increasingly small (e.g. at the sub-micron level) the structure at critical interfaces influences the electrical performance to a greater extent. Accordingly metal-semiconductor junctions have significant technological importance, in addition to any natural scientific interest associated with the bonding of two unlike materials. This article reviews some of our recent work on this topic, with particular emphasis on the reactions which can occur either during fabrication of the interface or upon heating in conjunction with device processing or prolonged service.The simplest system consists of an elemental metal and an elemental semiconductor, silicon being the most important example of the latter. Consideration of phase equilibria indicates that such an interface is thermodynamically unstable: upon heating either a reaction can occur to produce a compound phase (i.e. a silicide), or mutual dissolution of the elements within each other takes place to achieve saturated solid solution compositions. Reference to the appropriate binary phase diagram allows prediction of the result if local equilibrium is achieved. Thus although an atomically abrupt metal-semiconductor interface might be grown under specialized circumstances, this situation can be expected to be unusual and moreover it is not stable to elevated temperatures when atomic mobility and diffusion are rapid.

Titanium grade 5 (Ti6Al4V) is a modern material that can be found in a wide spectrum of applications, from medicine to aircraft industry. The commercial alloy is a mix of a body centered cubic structure (BCC_A2) and a hexagonal closed packed structure (HCP_A3). It is obvious, that heat treatment of the alloy will change a ratio between BCC_A2 and HCP_A3 and, as a consequence, properties of a material. Information about mobility of atoms in both crystal structures allows simulations and predictions of structures? behavior during the heat treatment and diffusion. In this work the atomic mobility in liquid, BCC_A2, and HCP_A3 phases of ternary alloy Al ? Ti ? V were obtained based on available literature information. Comparison between simulations and experiments shows a good agreement, hence it can be concluded that proposed set of kinetic parameters can be used for predictions and simulations of Titanium grade 5 heat treatment.
