ABSTRACTThe conducting oxysalt Ag(Ag3O4)2NO3 has been electrodeposited onto highly oriented conducting oxides of Tl2 03 and Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9. T12O3 was grown in a [100] texture while the Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9 was grown with two different thickness-dependent textures of [110] and [210]. The orientation of the Ag(Ag3O4)2NO3 crystals with respect to the substrate surface was determined by x-ray diffraction. The face-centered-cubic Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 crystals deposited on body-centered-cubic T12 03 and face-centered-cubic Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9 followed the orientation of these prelayers. However, Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 which was electrodeposited onto polycrystalline 430 stainless steel had a nearly random orientation. The lattice mismatch is 6.6% between T12 03 and Ag(Ag3O4)2N03, and it is 7.8% between Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 and the doubled unit cell of Pb0.8Tl0.2Ol.9.

Highly ordered Cu, Ag and Au nanowire arrays with high aspect ratio and highly dense self-supporting nanowire patterns of copper group were successfully prepared using cyclic voltammetry with the assistance of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the metal nanowries were indexed to the face-centered cubic structure. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) results demonstrated that the length of nanowire could be controlled by changing the electrodepositon conditions. The aspect ratio of nanowire arrays can be tuned.

The artificial layering of metals can change both physical and structural characteristics from the bulk. The stabilization of polymorphic metallic phases can occur on a dimensional scale that ranges from single overgrowth layers to repetitive layering at the nanoscale. The sputter deposition of crystalline titanium on nickel, as both a single layer and in multilayer form, has produced a face-centered cubic phase of titanium. The atomic structure of the face-centered cubic titanium phase is examined using high resolution electron microscopy in combination with electron and x-ray diffraction.

ABSTRACTThin Co and Co based alloy films with the face centered cubic (FCC) structure have been epitaxially grown on single crystal Si wafers by sputter deposition. Epitaxial orientation relationships have been determined by x-ray diffraction, x-ray pole figure scans and TEM. Magnetic properties have been characterized using vibrating sampling magnetometer (VSM), torque magnetometer and BH loop tracer. Soft magnetic properties have been observed for the pure Co films.

Abstract The T phase in the Mn–Ni–Zn system was obtained as a product of high-temperature solid-state syntheses from the loaded composition of MnxNi2−xZn11 (x = 0.2–1.5)/MnxNi15.38−xZn84.62 (x = 1.54–11.54). The crystal structure of the T phase has been explored by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The structures were solved in the face-centered cubic space group F 4 ‾ 3 m $F‾{4}3m$ (216) and contain 409–410 atoms/unit cell. The lattice constants were found to be a = 18.1727(2) and 18.1954(1) Å for crystals C1 and C2, respectively. The crystal structure denoted the T phase is a (2aγ)3-superstructure of the ordinary cubic γ-brass-type phase. The phase is isostructural to (Fe, Ni)Zn6.5. A “cluster” description has been used to visualize the crystal structure of the title phase. The structures have been constructed by the five distinct clusters and they are situated about the high symmetry sites of the face-centered cubic lattice. The T phase is stabilized at a valance electron concentration of 1.78, which is slightly higher than those expected for typical γ-brass Hume‐Rothery compounds.

AbstractEpitaxial Co/Mn superlattices (0.6 to 4.8 nm thick Co) have been grown on (0002) hcp Ru buffer layer on mica substrates. The face centered cubic (fcc) phase of cobalt is stabilized by the very thin manganese layer. The structural properties of these layers have been studied through x ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance.

Effects of stacking faults in a high nitrogen face-centered-cubic phase (γΝ) formed on plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti (18-8 type) austenitic stainless steel on peak shift and peak asymmetry of x-ray diffraction were investigated based on Warren’s theory and Wagner’s method, respectively. The peak shift from peak position of the γΝ phase is ascribed to the deformation faults density α, while the peak asymmetry of the γΝ phase is characterized by deviation of the center of gravity of a peak from the peak maximum (Δ C.G.) due to the twin faults density β. The calculated peak positions of x-ray diffraction patterns are consistent with that measured for plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel.

Cr–Al–N coatings with a lateral composition gradient were deposited from two segmented Cr/Al targets with different segment size, thus covering the Al content range 0.22 ≲ c ≲ 0.87 and a thickness range from several hundred nanometres to several micrometres. The two-dimensional thickness and composition profiles were determined nondestructively from X-ray fluorescence maps. The results were reproduced by simulations of the flux distribution on the sample surface, combiningTRIDYNsimulations of the reactive sputter process at the target surface andSIMTRAsimulations of the subsequent transport through the gas phase. The phase formation was studied by spatially resolved X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Cr Kedge. Forc ≲ 0.69, a single-phase solid solution face-centered cubic (f.c.c.) (Cr,Al)N phase was found, and for 0.69 ≲ c ≲ 0.87 coexisting f.c.c. (Cr,Al)N and hexagonal close packed (h.c.p.) (Cr,Al)N phases were observed. The biaxial texture formation in nearly the entire composition range indicates a zone T growth. Four, mainly composition-dependent, texture regions were identified. All observed textures are closely related to textures reported for the h.c.p. AlN and f.c.c. CrN parent phases. Forc ≳ 0.69, a strong thickness dependence of the textures was observed. The measurements reveal an orientation relation between different f.c.c. and h.c.p. textures, indicating that local epitaxy might play a role in the structure formation.

Nanocrystalline CoxCu100−x (4 ⋚ x ⋚ 49 at. %) powders were prepared by the reduction of metal acetates in a polyol. The structure of powders was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). As-synthesized powders were composites consisting of nanoscale crystallites of face-centered cubic (fcc) Cu and metastable face-centered cubic (fcc) Co. Complementary results of XRD, HRTEM, EXAFS, NMR, and VSM confirmed that there was no metastable alloying between Co and Cu. The NMR data also revealed that there was some hexagonal-closed-packed (hcp) Co in the samples. The powders were agglomerated, and consisted of aggregates of nanoscale crystallites of Co and Cu. Upon annealing, the powders with low Co contents showed an increase in both saturation magnetization and coercivity with increasing temperature. The results suggested that during preparation the nucleation of Cu occurred first, and the Cu crystallites served as nuclei for the formation of Co.

Cobalt-nickel (Co-Ni) nanowires were formed by electroless deposition in ethylene glycol under external magnetic field. The effects of initial Co (II) and Ni (II) concentration on the surface and morphology of the synthesized nanowires were investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. An increase in the Co (II) concentration resulted in increase in diameter of the nanowires. However, the length of nanowires was observed to decrease. Higher Co (II) concentration resulted in a mixture of hexagonal close-packed and face-centered cubic Co-Ni nanowires. X-ray diffraction revealed that crystal growth occurred when the nanowires are annealed at 653 K for 10h.

Sacking fault energy (SFE) is the key role in solving this problem of getting high strength and expected ductility simultaneously. This work adds Al as the procedure of decreasing SFE in Cu face-centered cubic. It is an economic and effective method to counterpart Cold-rolling at liquid nitrogen temperature to get high density deformation twin and ultrafine-grains size. After undergoing tensile and X-ray diffraction tests, Cu-4.5 wt.% Al plays the best performance on both strength and ductility. Thus there exist the optimal SFE of Cu-Al alloys which get both high strength and expected ductility simultaneously.
