Palladium single-crystal films have been prepared by Matthews in ultra-high vacuum by evaporation onto (001) NaCl substrates cleaved in-situ, and maintained at ∼ 350° C. Murr has also produced large-grained and single-crystal Pd films by high-rate evaporation onto (001) NaCl air-cleaved substrates at 350°C. In the present work, very large (∼ 3cm2), continuous single-crystal films of Pd have been prepared by flash evaporation onto air-cleaved (001) NaCl substrates at temperatures at or below 250°C. Evaporation rates estimated to be ≧ 2000 Å/sec, were obtained by effectively short-circuiting 1 mil tungsten evaporation boats in a self-regulating system which maintained an optimum load current of approximately 90 amperes; corresponding to a current density through the boat of ∼ 4 × 104 amperes/cm2.

The effect of varying the strain rate loading conditions in compression on a copper single crystal dispersion-hardened with SiO2 particles has been examined. These particles appear as small spherical inclusions in the copper lattice and have a volume fraction of 0.6%. The structure of representative crystals was examined prior to any testing on a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to determine the nature of the dislocations initially present in the tested crystals. Only a few scattered edge and screw dislocations were viewed in those specimens.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.

In this work, hot compression experiments of 300M steel were performed at 900–1150 °C and 0.01–10 s−1. The relation of flow stress and microstructure evolution was analyzed. The intriguing finding was that at a lower strain rate (0.01 s−1), the flow stress curves were single-peaked, while at a higher strain rate (10 s−1), no peak occurred. Metallographic observation results revealed the phenomenon was because dynamic recrystallization was more complete at a lower strain rate. In situ compression tests were carried out to compare with the results by ex situ compression tests. Hot working maps representing the influences of strains, strain rates, and temperatures were established. It was found that the power dissipation coefficient was not only related to the recrystallized grain size but was also related to the volume fraction of recrystallized grains. The optimal hot working parameters were suggested. This work provides comprehensive understanding of the hot workability of 300M steel in thermal compression.

During plastic deformation, the change of structural states is known to be complicated and indeterminate, even in single crystals. This contributes to some enduring problems like the prediction of deformed texture and the commercial applications of such material. In this work, plane strain compression (PSC) tests were designed and implemented on single crystal pure aluminum to reveal the deformation mechanism. PSC tests were performed at different strain rates under strain control in either one-directional or two-directional compression. The deformed microstructures were analyzed according to the flow curve and the electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) mappings. The effects of grain orientation, strain rate, and strain path on the deformation and mechanical response were analyzed. Experimental results revealed that the degree of lattice rotation of one-dimensional compression mildly dependents on cube orientation, but it is profoundly sensitive to the strain rate. For two-dimensional compression, the softening behavior is found to be more pronounced in the case that provides greater dislocations gliding freeness in the first loading. Results presented in this work give new insights into aluminum deformation, which provides theoretical support for forming and manufacturing of aluminum.

An in situ scanning electron microscope (SEM) tensile test for Ni-based single-crystal superalloy was carried out at 1000 °C. The stress displacement was obtained, and the yield strength and tensile strength of the superalloy were 699 MPa and 826 MPa, respectively. The crack propagation process, consisting of Model I crack and crystallographic shearing crack, was determined. More interestingly, the crack propagation path and rate affected by eutectics was directly observed and counted. Results show that the coalescence of the primary crack and second microcrack at the interface of a γ/γ′ matrix and eutectics would make the crack propagation rate increase from 0.3 μm/s to 0.4 μm/s. On the other hand, crack deflection decreased the rate to 0.05 μm/s. Moreover, movement of dislocations in front of the crack was also analyzed to explain the different crack propagation behavior in the superalloy.

ABSTRACTNear-single-crystal diamond films have been obtained in a number of laboratories recently. The optimization of nucleation density by using a bias-enhanced nucleation (BEN) method is believed to be a critical step. However, the condition of optimized nucleation has never been clearly delineated. In the present report, a novel quantitative technique was established to monitor the nucleation of diamond in-situ. Specifically, the induced current was measured as a function of nucleation time during BEN. The timedependence of induced current was studied under various methane concentrations as well as substrate temperatures. The optimized nucleation condition can be unambiguously determined from the current-time plot. Besides the in-situ current probe, ex-situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were also used to investigate the chemical and morphological evolution. Characteristic XPS and AFM features of optimized nucleation is discussed.
