The structure of amorphous CeFe2H3 and GdFe2H3 alloys produced by hydrogenation is investigated and compared with that of amorphous CeFe2 and GdFe2 produced by high-rate DC sputtering. Distinct different structural features, characterized by an almost resolved first peak of the RDF of the former were found.

ABSTRACTThe thick films of GaN were investigated using X-ray diffraction, micro-Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The thick films of GaN were prepared on (0001) sapphire using high rate magnetron sputter epitaxy with growth rates as high as 10–60 m/min. The width of the X-ray rocking curve ((0002) reflection) for the sample produced by this method is ∼300 arc-sec. Only the allowed modes were observed in the polarized Raman spectra. The background electron concentration is lower than 3×1016 cm−3, which was determined from the Raman spectra. The phonon lifetime determined from Raman E2(2) mode was 1.6 ps, which is comparable to that of bulk single crystal GaN grown by sublimation (1.4 ps). The full-width-at-half-maximum of the near band-edge photoluminescence peak obtained at 77K is ∼100 meV.

X-ray diffraction results indicate that pristine alloy has a single LaNi5 phase and the alloys containing Fe0.43B0.57 consist of the matrix LaNi5 phase and the La3Ni13B2 secondary phase. The abundance of La3Ni13B2 phase increases with increasing x value. Maximum discharge capacity of the alloy electrodes monotonically decreases from 336.1 mAh/g (x = 0) to 281.2 mAh/g (x = 0.4). High-rate dischargeability of the alloy electrodes first increases with increasing x from 0 to 0.20, and then decreases when x increases to 0.4. Cycling stability decreases with increasing x from 0 to 0.4.

Nanostructured ε-manganese dioxide films are deposited directly on three-dimensional nickel foam (NF) from 0.25 M Mn(CH3COO)2 by means of the potentiostatic method (PSM) and potentiodynamic method (PDM). The prepared MnO2 films are characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of MnO2 films are investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), charge-discharge tests, and alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the PSM-MnO2 films exhibit higher specific capacitance and better high-rate discharge ability, which are more promising for applications in supercapacitor than PDM-MnO2 films. The specific capacitance of PSM-MnO2 films is about 664 F g-1 at 5.5 A g-1, which is higher than many reported values.

ABSTRACTThe triode sputtering technique and a “split-target” arrangement were used to produce metastable crystalline and amorphous phases in the Cu-W, Mo-Cu, Ag-Fe, Ag-Cu, Pu-Ta and Pu-V systems. These systems all exhibit liquid and solid immiscibility and have positive heats of mixing and atomic radii that differ by at least 10%. The sputtered coatings, whose thickness varied between 25 and 200 microns, were formed at deposition rates between 35 and 200 Å/s. They were characterized using x-ray diffraction, TEM, microprobe, microhardness, and DSC techniques. The observed amorphous and metastable solid solution phases are discussed in terms of predicated heats of formation for these phases using Miedema's thermodynamic approximations [1] that include chemical, elastic, and structural contributions. Differences in compositional ranges observed by high rate sputter deposition compared to other vapor deposition techniques (e.g., coevaporation) appeared to arise as a result of processes that occur during deposition or immediately following deposition.

ABSTRACT Ahead of the incorporation of residues in concrete composition, there is a decline in the environmental impact of buildings. One of the goals of today’s development is the employment of low-impact energy sources, such as thermoelectric. Thermoelectric industries display a high rate of residues, among which is pointed out coal bottom ash (CBA) (15% total residues), which have density superior to fly ash and accumulates in silos. Considering this scenario, this paper assessed the incorporation feasibility of CBA in the composition of cellular concrete, replacing silica fume. This study comprehended CBA characterization and application. For such, it was performed a scanning electron microscope (SEM) associated with Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, laser granulometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray efflorescence and density. Following the incorporation of the residues in cellular concrete in place of silica fume, it was performed compression strength analysis and SEM anew, evaluating the impact of CBA’s insertion in concrete’s microstructure. The XRD results are complementary to the other analyses. With SEM technique, it was observed the predominance of spherical-shape particles. The compressive strength of CBA concretes was superior to the reference concrete from 0,13 to 0,74MPa.
