Co-Cr-Mo alloy fibers of 2 mm in diameter were fabricated from the melt at 1, 2, and 5 mm/min growth rates by unidirectional solidification using an alloy-micro-pulling-down (A-µ-PD) method to control the microstructure. All elements, Co, Cr, and Mo, were distributed in stripes elongated along the growth direction due to constitutional undercooling. Both Co-Cr-Mo fibers fabricated at 2 and 5 mm/min growth rates were composed of the γ phase with a face-centered cubic structure (fcc-γ phase) and ε-phase with a hexagonal close-packed structure (hcp-ε phase), and the ratio of the fcc-γ phase in the fiber fabricated at 5 mm/min growth rate was higher than that in the fiber fabricated at 2 mm/min. The results suggest that a faster growth rate increases the ratio of the fcc-γ phase in the Co-Cr-Mo fiber fabricated by unidirectional solidification.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) filled with metals can be used in capacitors, sensors, rechargeable batteries, and so on. Their interface significantly affects the properties of the composites. Here, we show that three kinds of interfaces between crystalline Ni and CNTs exist, namely, ordered, distorted, and disordered. They presented lattice states of Ni atoms near the interface, whereas the (111) Ni plane was parallel to the CNTs' surface and appeared apart in a smaller or bigger angle. The coherent face-centered cubic (f.c.c)/hexagonal close-packed structure (h.c.p) boundary was formed between the crystalline Ni and CNTs at the ordered interface, in which the match was (111) Ni //(0001) Carbon . We suggested a dislocation model for the coherent interface. The model explained why the angle between (200) Ni and the CNTs' inner surface was 52.9° rather than the theoretical value of 54.75°. The [Formula: see text] dislocation was formed to fit the coherent relationship. Thus, Ni lattice shrinkage occurred. Further study indicated that the formation mechanism of crystalline Ni in CNTs was through heterogeneous nucleation on the inner wall surface and growth of the crystal nucleus.

Deformation-induced γ → DI-α2 phase transformation was verified to occur in the twin-intersection region of a Ti–45Al–8Nb (at.%) alloy compressed at room temperature. High-resolution image observations of the deformation-induced DI-α2 phase suggested that the orientation relationship between the DI-α2 and γ phases remained the typical one: (0001)DI−α2//{111}γ, [11¯20]DI−α2//〈101]γ. The conversion of stacking sequence from ordered face-centered tetragonal to ordered nonequilibrium hexagonal close-packed structure was accomplished by the movement of a/6〈11¯2] Shockley partial dislocations on every other {111}γ plane. Compositional analysis based on energy dispersive spectra revealed that the DI-α2 phase had the same composition as the matrix γ phase. No compositional diffusion occurred because the plastic deformation was carried out at room temperature. The strong stress concentration in the intersection region was the major force to induce the γ → DI-α2 phase transformation in the process of room-temperature compression.

AbstractWe investigate the structural evolution of PtRu and CoRh ultra fine bimetallic particles as a function of their composition in the whole range of stoichiometry. Isolated particles embedded in an organic matrix are synthesized using chemical techniques in mild conditions. Their size, dispersion and structure are analyzed by HRTEM, WAXS and EXAFS techniques. The magnetic behavior of cobalt-based alloys is investigated by SQUID magnetometry. In the PtRu alloys, we demonstrate the role of composition in the structural transition from the face-centered cubic to the hexagonal close packed structure in nanoparticles and detail the mechanism of the transition. We point out the effect of size reduction and core-shell atomic distribution in the structure and the enhanced magnetization in CoRh bimetallic particles.

Under tensile deformation, gold nanosheets elongate to form defects via a series of small vacancies leading to structural deformations. Behavior of finite gold nanosheets containing 57 and 73 atoms under load are investigated modeled by many-body Gupta potential. Nanosheets with close packed structure (111) plane of a face-centered-cubic structure are stretched along one of the two symmetry directions of the plane. The accessibility of these structures and their stability under load are found to be the key factors governing the morphological evolution of the gold nanosheets. It is found that major deformation is the formation of vacancies which could be called defects in the sheets and is surprisingly different from the ultimate stretching of a nanocylinder which is via neck formation. Thus this study presents completely new theoretical results for gold nanosheets.
