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).

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.

An allotropic transition from face-centered-cubic (fcc) to hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) Ni(Si) solid solution in Ni95Si5 and Ni90Si10 during nanocrystallization by mechanical alloying is reported. The transformation was identified as a defect-induced melting accompanied by a volume expansion of 8.6% and was observed when fcc Ni(Si) reached a critical crystallite size of 10 nm. Calculation based on equation of state showed that a 37% reduction in tetragonal shear modulus and a negative pressure of about 8.7 GPa were generated at the onset of transformation.

The nanostructured cerium dioxide (CeO2) has been successfully fabricated using a simple precipitation method. Its characteristics were evaluated using TG-DTA, DR-UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR and TEM. The results showed that the nanostructured CeO2 has high purity and good crystalline nature, with face centered cubic (fcc) phase and the average diameter of CeO2 single crystal about 14 nm. Performance evaluation of the synthesized CeO2 samples showed that the nanostructured CeO2 has a strong adsorption toward acid orange-10 (AO-10) and congo red (CR) in aqueous solution. Under given experimental conditions (dye concentration of 15 mg/l, adsorbent dosage of 1 g/l, reaction temperature of 30 ? 1?C), it was estimated that the adsorption equilibrium for AO-10 and CR occurred at 60 min and 90 min of reaction time, respectively, with total removal of 96.82% for AO-10 dye and 93.55% for CR dye. The results suggested that the CeO2 nanopowder could be potentially used as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of synthetic organic dyes in aqueous solution and may address for future concern in the area.

Allotropic hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) → face-centered-cubic (fcc) transformations were reported in Group IVB elements titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), and hafnium (Hf) subjected to mechanical milling in a high-energy SPEX shaker mill. Although the transformation was observed in powders milled under regular conditions, no such phase transformation was observed when the powders were milled in an ultrahigh purity environment by placing the powder in a milling container under a high-purity argon atmosphere, which was in turn placed in an argon-filled glove box for milling. From a critical analysis of the results, it was concluded that the hcp → fcc phase transformation was, at least partially, due to pick-up of interstitial impurities by the powder during milling of these powders to the nanocrystalline state.

Graphite encapsulated nanocrystals produced by a low carbon tungsten arc were analyzed to determine their chemistry, crystallography, and nanostructural morphology. Metallic nanocrystals of Fe, Co, and Ni are in the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase, and no trace of the bulk equilibrium phases of body-centered cubic (Fe) and hexagonal close-packed (Co) were found. Various analytical techniques have revealed that the encased nanocrystals are pure metal (some carbide was found in the case of Fe), ferromagnetic, and generally spherical. The nanocrystals are protected by turbostratic graphite, regardless of the size of the nanocrystals. The turbostratic graphite coating is usually made up of between 2 and 10 layers. No trace of any unwanted elements (e.g., oxygen) was found. The low carbon: metal ratio arc technique is a relatively clean process for the production of graphite encapsulated nanocrystals.

X-ray diffraction stress analysis by crystallite group method (CGM) has been employed in case of simultaneously strong and sharp fiber textured Ti thin films. These Ti films exhibit thickness dependent hcp-fcc phase transformation [Ref. 1]. Diffraction stress analysis has also been attempted by d-sin2 method for strongly textured face centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close packed (hcp) Ti phases. For hcp Ti phase, the results of stress analysis by CGM are compared with those obtained from d-sin2 method. It is found that the stress values in hcp Ti phases obtained from CGM considerably differ from the stresses obtained from d-sin2 method in some of the Ti films. Observed differences have been explained and possible sources of errors in d-sin2 method and CGM stress analysis have been discussed.

The effects of ausforming in an Fe30Mn10Cr10Co high-entropy alloy on the microstructure, hardness, and plastic anisotropy were investigated. The alloy showed a dual-phase microstructure consisting of face-centered cubic (FCC) austenite and hexagonal close-packed (HCP) martensite in the as-solution-treated condition, and the finish temperature for the reverse transformation was below 200 °C. Therefore, low-temperature ausforming at 200 °C was achieved, which resulted in microstructure refinement and significantly increased the hardness. Furthermore, plasticity anisotropy, a common problem in HCP structures, was suppressed by the ausforming treatment. This, in turn, reduced the scatter of the hardness.

Close-packed metal surfaces and heteroepitaxial systems frequently display a structure consisting of regularly spaced misfit dislocations, with a network of domain walls separating face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) domains. These structures can serve as templates for growing regularly spaced arrays of nanoislands. We present a theoretical investigation of the factors controlling the size and shape of the domains, using Pt(111) as a model system. Upon varying the chemical potential, the surface structure changes from being unreconstructed to the honeycomb, wavy triangles, "bright stars", or Moiré patterns observed experimentally on Pt(111) and other systems. For the particular case of Pt(111), isotropically contracted star-like patterns are favored over uniaxially contracted stripes.
