The specific heat of an alloy of lithium with 0.95 at.% magnesium has been measured from 20° to 300 deg;K. The specific heat of the body-centered cubic phase is less than that calculated from the Kopp–Neumarin rule. A specilic heat anomaly, due to the martensitic transformation, is observed and has almost the same heat content as the corresponding anomaly for pure lithium but the high-temperature end is of signilicantly different shape.

We have extended to order four in β = 1/kBT the high-temperature series expansion for the body-centred cubic phase of solid 3He with a Hamiltonian including two-, three-, and four-particle exchange. The results are used to analyze recent experimental measurements of the specific heat at low temperature and high magnetic fields.

AbstractPhysical vapor deposition of Group VI elements (Cr, Mo, W) can lead to the formation of a metastable A-15 crystal structure under certain processing conditions. Typically, a thermally induced transformation of the metastable A-15 structure into the equilibrium body centered cubic structure has been accomplished by conventional furnace annealing at T/Tm ≈ 0.3 from tens of minutes to several hours. In this study we report on the use of rapid thermal annealing to transform sputter deposited A- 15 crystal structure tungsten and chromium thin films into body centered cubic films within the same temperature range but at times on the order of one minute. The minimum annealing times and temperatures required for complete transformation of the A-15 phase into the BCC phase varied from sample to sample, indicating that the transformation was dependent on the film characteristics. The electrical resistivity of A-15 Cr and W films was measured before and after rapid thermal annealing and was found to significantly decrease after transformation into the body center cubic phase.

This paper presents the results of the texture investigation in the hexagonal phase and the body-centered cubic  phase of the Ti6Al4V alloy hot-deformed by forging. Forging was performed at two different temperatures on the occurrence of the single  and in the two-phase  +  state. It was found that after deformation both  and  phases are textured and their textures strongly depends on deformation temperature.

ABSTRACTThe change in phase stability of Group-VB (V, Nb, and Ta) transition metals due to pressure and alloying is explored by means of first-principles electronic-structure calculations. It is shown that under compression stabilization or destabilization of the ground-state body-centered cubic (bcc) phase of the metal is mainly dictated by the band-structure energy that correlates well with the position of the Kohn anomaly in the transverse acoustic phonon mode. The predicted position of the Kohn anomaly in V, Nb, and Ta is found to be in a good agreement with data from the inelastic x-ray or neutron scattering measurements. In the case of alloying the change in phase stability is defined by the interplay between the band-structure and Madelung energies. We show that band-structure effects determine phase stability when a particular Group-VB metal is alloyed with its nearest neighbors within the same d-transition series: the neighbor with less and more d electrons destabilize and stabilize the bcc phase, respectively. When V is alloyed with neighbors of a higher (4d- or 5d-) transition series, both electrostatic Madelung and band-structure energies stabilize the body-centered-cubic phase. The opposite effect (destabilization) happens when Nb or Ta is alloyed with neighbors of the 3d-transition series.
