We test a hypothesis to explain why Ti-6242 is susceptible to cold dwell fatigue (CDF), whereas Ti-6246 is not. The hypothesis is that, in Ti-6246, substitutional Mo-atoms in α-Ti grains trap vacancies, thereby limiting creep relaxation. In Ti-6242, this creep relaxation enhances the loading of grains unfavourably oriented for slip and they subsequently fracture. Using density functional theory to calculate formation and binding energies between Mo-atoms and vacancies, we find no support for the hypothesis. In the light of this result, and experimental observations of the microstructures in these alloys, we agree with the recent suggestion (Qiu et al. 2014 Metall. Mater. Trans. A 45 , 6075–6087. ( doi:10.1007/s11661-014-2541-5 )) that Ti-6246 has a much smaller susceptibility to CDF because it has a smaller grain size and a more homogeneous distribution of grain orientations. We propose that the reduction of the susceptibility to CDF of Ti-6242 at temperatures above about 200° C is due to the activation of 〈 c + a 〉 slip in ‘hard’ grains, which reduces the loading of grain boundaries.

Good Agreement

Although anisyl units are basically poor ligands for metal ions, the rigid placements of their oxygens during synthesis rather than during complexation are undoubtedly responsible for the enhanced binding and selectivity of the spherand. We used standard B3LYP/6-31G** (5d) density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the complexation between spherands containing five anisyl groups, with CH2–O–CH2 (2) and CH2–S–CH2 (3) units in an 18-membered macrocyclic ring, and the cationic guests (Li+, Na+, and K+). Our geometric structure results for spherands 1, 2, and 3 are in good agreement with the previously reported X-ray diffraction data. The absolute values of the binding energy of all the spherands are inversely proportional to the ionic radius of the guests. The results, taken as a whole, show that replacement of one anisyl group by CH2–O–CH2 (2) and CH2–S–CH2 (3) makes the cavity bigger and less preorganized. In addition, both the binding and specificity decrease for small ions. The spherands 2 and 3 appear beautifully preorganized to bind all guests, so it is not surprising that their binding energies are close to the parent spherand 1. Interestingly, there is a clear linear relation between the radius of the cavity and the binding energy (R2 = 0.999).Key words: spherands, preorganization, density functional theory, binding energy, cavity size.

Structures, binding energies, magnetic and electronic properties endohedrally doped C 20 fullerenes by metallic atoms ( Fe , Co , Ti and V ) have been obtained by pseudopotential density functional theory. All M @ C 20, except Co @ C 20, are more stable than the undoped C 20 cage. The magnetic moment values are 1 and 2μB. These values and semiconductor behavior give to these compounds interesting feature in several technological applications. Titanium doped C 20 has a same magnetic moment than the isolated Ti atom. Hybridization process in the Co doped C 20 fullerene is most strong than in other doped cages. Electrical and magnetic dipoles calculated in the iron doped C 20 are very strong compared with other clusters.
