Based on the phenomena the grain boundaries first-order phase transition in range 0.55 – 0.86 of metal melting point with formation of two-dimensional liquid was elaborated the technology of coatings by synthesis of nitrides using of gaseous nitrogen. It was studied the steel elements for forcing-lift of diesel after nitriding. The creation of a concentration gradient of summary nitrogen (from 1.9 up to 0.5 % at) in a layer of alloy up to 3 mm from a surface results in forming graded coatings with step changes of properties. The mechanical behavior of new tools with high surface resistance to wear are defined of the combination of high hardness (800-1000 Hv[GPa]) of surface coatings (enriched of a nanosize nitrides) with high impact toughness of transitional to matrix layer. The tools life times improved more then 1.5 – 2.5 times.

First Order Phase

The obtained generalized equation for description of a fundamental property of solid crystalline materials i.e. first-order phase transition of the grain boundaries with formation of two-dimensional liquid has been used for calculating of transition temperature of any metals, which value lies in range 0.55 – 086 of melting point. Based on these conclusions to develop strategies for effective forming of coatings by synthesis of nitrides and carbonitrides on surface layers of hard metals and chromium steels have been made. It was shown the hardening of thin surface layer (0.1-0.5mm) due enriched of a nitrides in steels and carbonitrides with diamond like structure and strengthening the following layer by recristallization of W carbides in WC-Co and WC-TiC-Co hard metal. These result to increase of alloys hardness, ductility, and resistance to wear and decrease of sensibility to fragile rupture. Industrial tests have been made.

Abstract We study the stochastic background of gravitational waves which accompany the sudden freeze-out of dark matter triggered by a cosmological first order phase transition that endows dark matter with mass. We consider models that produce the measured dark matter relic abundance via (1) bubble filtering, and (2) inflation and reheating, and show that gravitational waves from these mechanisms are detectable at future interferometers.

Abstract In this paper we present a novel mechanism for producing the observed Dark Matter (DM) relic abundance during the First Order Phase Transition (FOPT) in the early universe. We show that the bubble expansion with ultra-relativistic velocities can lead to the abundance of DM particles with masses much larger than the scale of the transition. We study this non-thermal production mechanism in the context of a generic phase transition and the electroweak phase transition. The application of the mechanism to the Higgs portal DM as well as the signal in the Stochastic Gravitational Background are discussed.

First Order Phase

The phase diagram of high-pressure hydrogen is of great interest for fundamental research, planetary physics, and energy applications. A first-order phase transition in the fluid phase between a molecular insulating fluid and a monoatomic metallic fluid has been predicted. The existence and precise location of the transition line is relevant for planetary models. Recent experiments reported contrasting results about the location of the transition. Theoretical results based on density functional theory are also very scattered. We report highly accurate coupled electron–ion Monte Carlo calculations of this transition, finding results that lie between the two experimental predictions, close to that measured in diamond anvil cell experiments but at 25–30 GPa higher pressure. The transition along an isotherm is signaled by a discontinuity in the specific volume, a sudden dissociation of the molecules, a jump in electrical conductivity, and loss of electron localization.
