Ag nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method under the polyol system combined with traces of sodium chloride, Silver nitrate(AgNO3) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) acted as the silver source and dispersant respectively. The samples by this process were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) adsorption equation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) to determine the chemical composition, particle size, crystal structure and morphology. The experiment results indicate that the crystal structure of the samples is face centered cubic (FCC) structure as same as the bulk materials, The specific surface area is 24 m2/g, the particle size distribution ranging from10 to 50 nm, with an average particle size about 26 nm obtained by TEM and confirmed by XRD and BET results.

Nonequilibrium processes during solidification can lead to kinetic stabilization of metastable crystal phases. A general framework for predicting the solidification conditions that lead to metastable-phase growth is developed and applied to a model face-centered cubic (fcc) metal that undergoes phase transitions to the body-centered cubic (bcc) as well as the hexagonal close-packed phases at high temperatures and pressures. Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of ultrarapid freezing show that bcc nucleates and grows well outside of the region of its thermodynamic stability. An extensive study of crystal–liquid equilibria confirms that at any given pressure, there is a multitude of metastable solid phases that can coexist with the liquid phase. We define for every crystal phase, a solid cluster in liquid (SCL) basin, which contains all solid clusters of that phase coexisting with the liquid. A rigorous methodology is developed that allows for practical calculations of nucleation rates into arbitrary SCL basins from the undercooled melt. It is demonstrated that at large undercoolings, phase selections made during the nucleation stage can be undone by kinetic instabilities amid the growth stage. On these bases, a solidification–kinetic phase diagram is drawn for the model fcc system that delimits the conditions for macroscopic grains of metastable bcc phase to grow from the melt. We conclude with a study of unconventional interfacial kinetics at special interfaces, which can bring about heterogeneous multiphase crystal growth. A first-order interfacial phase transformation accompanied by a growth-mode transition is examined.

We have previously reported that the fracture behavior of nanocrystalline (NC) Ni is via the nucleation and coalescence of nano-voids at grain boundaries and triple junctions, resulting in intergranular failure mode. Here we show in large-scale molecular dynamics simulations that partial-dislocation-mediated plasticity is dominant in NC Cu with grain size as small as ~ 10 nanometers. The simulated results show that NC Cu can accommodate large plastic strains without cracking or creating damage in the grain interior or grain boundaries, revealing their intrinsic ductile properties compared with NC Ni. These results point out different failure mechanisms of the two face-centered-cubic (FCC) metals subject to uniaxial tensile loading. The insight gained in the computational experiments could explain the good plasticity found in NC Cu not seen in Ni so far.

Generalized particle dynamics method (GP) is a kind of new multi-scale analysis approach which relates various scales naturally through cohering small scale lattice to large-scale lattice. In this paper, a method named nearby condensation method is proposed to lump small scale lattice to large-scale lattice keeping topology structure and mass distribution. The method provides a theoretical support to the GP method. It is indicated that, after cohesion BCC (Body-Centered Cubic) crystal structure possessed the same topological structure and mass distribution, and FCC (Face-centered cubic) crystal structure possessed the same topological structure, but the mass distribution gradually converges to a steady state.

Single-crystal hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoeggs are firstly synthesized using an anion-assisted hydrothermal method. By adjusting the ratios of phosphate to ferric ions, we are able to produce an egg-like nanostructure. And then α-Fe2O3nanoeggs are converted to magnetite (Fe3O4) by a chemical reduction while preserving the same morphology. The characterizations of Fe3O4nanoeggs indicate Fe3O4nanoeggs with uniform size and shape are successful synthesized. Our results provide an easily scaled-up method for preparing tailor-made large-sized iron oxide nanoeggs that could meet the demands of a variety of applications.

Face-centered cubic alloys, such as nickel-based alloys and austenitic stainless steels, are important to many industries, notably nuclear power generation and petrochemical. These alloys are prone to ductility-dip cracking (DDC), an inter-mediate-temperature, solid-state cracking phenomenon. They experience an abnormal elevated-temperature ductility loss, which leads to cracking upon applying sufficient restraint. A unified mechanism for DDC has been elusive. To learn more about DDC, an experimental procedure has been designed and evaluated for use in future studies. It is a thermomechanical test that replicates welding conditions via simulated strain ratcheting (SSR) using the Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. This study evaluates SSR and aims to establish the procedure is reproducible and adequately optimized for producing DDC. A design of experiments was created with four alloys tested at varying preloads, elevated temperature strains, and a number of thermomechanical cycles. Mechanical energy imposed within the DDC temperature range was used for quantification of the effect of thermomechanical cycling on the DDC response. The materials tested were 310 stainless steel and Nickel 201 base metals as well as nickel-based filler metals 52M and 52MSS. The SSR successfully recreated DDC while maintaining higher fidelity to actual production conditions than past laboratory tests and offered a more controlled environment than large-scale weld tests. Therefore, the SSR will provide a viable experimental procedure for learning more about the DDC mechanism.

We demonstrated the fabrication of the flower-like silver nanoplate micro-assemblies in high yields by a facile hydrothermal method. This novel nanostructure was synthesized in the presence of poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and ascorbic acid (AsA) at 150 °C for 10 h. The microassemblies with average size of 1~2 μm are consisted of several uniform nanoplates and show face centered cubic structure. The effects of the concentration of reactants, molar ratio of silver nitrate to ascorbic acid on the formation of the flower-like silver micro-assemblies were also presented.
