Finite strain analysis of size effects in wedge indentation into a Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) single crystal

AbstractThe compression of argon is measured between 10 K and 296 K up to 20 GPa and and up to 114 GPa at 296 K in diamond anvil cells. Three samples conditioning are used: (1) single crystal sample directly compressed between the anvils, (2) powder sample directly compressed between the anvils, (3) single crystal sample compressed in a pressure medium. A partial transformation of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase to a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure is observed above 4.2–13 GPa. Hcp phase forms through stacking faults in fcc-Ar and its amount depends on pressurizing conditions and starting fcc-Ar microstructure. The quasi-hydrostatic equation of state of the fcc phase is well described by a quasi-harmonic Mie–Grüneisen–Debye formalism, with the following 0 K parameters for Rydberg-Vinet equation: $$V_0$$ V 0 = 38.0 Å$$^3$$ 3 /at, $$K_0$$ K 0 = 2.65 GPa, $$K'_0$$ K 0 ′ = 7.423. Under the current experimental conditions, non-hydrostaticity affects measured P–V points mostly at moderate pressure ($$\le$$ ≤ 20 GPa).

Ti Films

High strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance are the main properties that make titanium attractive for a variety of applications. The phase structures and phase transitions of titanium, which are of tremendous scientific and technological interest, have attracted a great deal of attention for many years. In addition to hexagonal close packed α-Ti, high temperature phase β-Ti with body-centered cubic structure and ω-Ti with the hexagonal structure of high-pressure phase, the face-centered cubic structure, which is not in the P-T diagram of titanium, is observed in ultrathin films. In the present paper, the Ti films prepared by magnetron sputtering on MgO(111) single crystal substrate were investigated by means of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM). The results showed that the Ti films grow epitaxial with a face centered cubic (fcc) structure even the thickness is up to about 50nm. With the thickness increases, the Ti films transformed to hexagonal close packed (hcp) structure and showed an epitaxial growth along (002)hcp-Ti direction. The results show that the onset thickness of fcc-hcp structure transformation is 50-100nm. The temperature and power of sputter affect the formation of fcc-Ti.

AbstractOptically active InP nanowires were grown on a quartz substrate covered with a layer (100 nm) of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), demonstrating that single-crystal semiconductor nanowires can be formed on non-single-crystal surfaces. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence (CL), and photoluminescence (PL) were used to characterize the structural and optical properties of the nanowires. The nanowires on a-Si:H grew in random directions with high density. The XRD suggests that nanowires having either hexagonal-close-packed or face-centered cubic lattices co-exist. The Raman spectrum shows peaks associated with transverse optical (TO) and longitudinal optical (LO) branches of InP. The CL intensity does not vary signi?cantly along the growth direction and appears to be originated from the entire structure of the nanowire when probed at various positions. The CL data suggests that recombination is slow enough to allow the carriers to diffuse the complete length of the nanowires (˜2 m in length) before recombining. The PL spectrum suggested the nanowire had a part that contributes to the observed blue shift while the other part had nearly bulk feature in their structure.

AbstractThe processes of phase transformation in individual nanoparticles of FePt and FePtCu synthesized by the reverse micelle method, which are chemically homogeneous and monodisperse, have been investigated by an in-situ HREM observation in a FE-TEM. Polycrystalline FePt particles, initially of chemically disordered face-centered cubic phase (A1) were reconstructed into A1 single crystals between 25 °C and 650 °C, followed by phase transformation from A1 to chemically ordered face-centered tetragonal phase (L10) which began between 650 °C and 680 °C. The coalescence began concurrently with phase transformation, i. e., between 650 °C and 680 °C. They turned to be a round-shaped L10 particle between 680 °C and 720 °C. The single crystal formation, the phase transformation from A1 to L10, the coalescence and the round-shaped particle formation were also observed in the FePtCu nanoparticles. The temperatures of single crystal formation, phase transformation (and coalescence) and round-shaped particle formation of the FePtCu nanoparticles were between 25 °C and 500 °C, between 550 °C and 600 °C and between 600 °C and 650 °C, respectively. These temperatures were substantially lower than those for the FePt nanoparticles.
