Fluctuation Model

The relation between fragility and cooperativity of atomic motion in bulk metallic glass forming liquids is studied based on the bond strength-coordination number fluctuation model. The model describes the temperature dependence of the viscosity in terms of the mean values of the bond strength, coordination number and their fluctuations of the structural units that form the melt. According to the model, the cooperativity increases with the increase of fragility. The model estimates that the magnitude of the cooperativityNBextends approximately from 7 to 60 structural units, depending on the material. The temperature dependence ofNBfor different metallic glass forming systems reveals thatNBincreases with the decrease of temperature. The relation betweenNBand diffusivity of atoms is discussed briefly.

The Mean

A model that describes the viscous behavior in terms of the mean values of the bond strength, the coordination number, and their fluctuations of the structural units that form the melt has been proposed by one of the authors. In the present study, the viscous behavior of several metallic glass forming systems are analyzed by using the model. From the analysis, microscopic information such as the number of bonds that must be broken to observe the viscous flow is obtained. It is also shown that when the magnitudes of energy and coordination number fluctuations are equal, the behavior of the viscosity described by our model corresponds perfectly to the behavior described by the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) equation.

The high-temperature viscosity of metallic glass-forming liquids is investigated by using the Bond Strength-Coordination Number Fluctuation (BSCNF) model developed by the authors. For many glass-forming liquids, a salient change in the structural relaxation is observed above the melting point. The temperature dependence of the structural relaxation exhibits a deviation from an Arrhenius-like behavior, and upon cooling it transforms to a non-Arrhenius-like one. In the present study, we show that the BSCNF model describes well the high-temperature viscosity behaviors of metallic liquids. The analysis based on the BSCNF model also enables to extract a characteristic temperature at high temperature. The results of the present study show that such characteristic temperature can be a good indicator for the evaluation of the range of the transition from the Arrhenius-like to the non-Arrhenius-like relaxation behavior.

The diffusion coefficient in the metallic glass-forming systems such as Pd-Cu-Ni-P exhibits a marked deviation from the Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation in the proximity of the glass transition temperature. Such a deviation is characterized by the fractional exponent p of the modified SE expression. For the material Pd43Cu27Ni10P20, it has been reported that it takes the value p = 0.75. In this work, it is shown that the value of p is highly correlated with the ratio ED / ENB, where ED and ENB are the activation energies for diffusion coefficient D and cooperativity NB defined by the Bond Strength-Coordination Number Fluctuation (BSCNF) model. The present paper reports that for the metallic glass-forming melt Pd43Cu27Ni10P20, the fractional exponent p can be calculated accurately within the framework of the BSCNF model.

The Relationship

In order to investigate the relationship between the bonding nature and the cooperative relaxation, a comparative study of the relaxation behavior in polymeric and metallic glass forming systems has been performed based on the Bond Strength–Coordination Number Fluctuation (BSCNF) model developed by the authors. In the present work, we studied the correlations between the fragility m, the Vogel temperature T0, the degree of molecular cooperativity NB, and the Kohlrausch exponent βKWW. The results show that T0 and NB increase, whereas βKWW decreases systematically with the increase of m. Reflecting the difference of the interatomic interactions of the materials considered, the analysis by the present study reveals that the value of NB in ion-conducing polymers is about 5 times larger than that in metallic systems, and for each system, the material dependence of βKWW is clearly seen in the fragility index m and the cooperativity NB.

The reaction O + OH → O2 + H in conditions of combustion of hydrocarbons and polymers was modelled by using the method of quasiclassical trajectories. The potential energy surface was determined by the multiconfiguration interaction method and fitted with the analytical form of the extended LEPS function. Attention was paid to the mean values of the vibrational and rotational quantum numbers of O2 molecules and their temperature dependence. The temperature dependence of the mean lifetime of the OOH collision complex was also examined. The calculated rate constants were analyzed and compared with the experimental data over the temperature region of the combustion processes.

Critical N Concentration

Different reactivity of ions has been implanted into Zr-Cu metallic glass to obtain nano-structured surface with controlled elasticity. The penetration of glass forming element of Ni+ into crystalline Zr-Cu stabilizes glassy phase to induce crystalline-amorphous (c-a) transition during implantation process. In the meanwhile, penetration of N+ into glassy matrix induces precipitation of (Zr, Cu)N at the mean penetration depth of N. Critical N concentration for nitride formation is estimated to be (Zr,Cu)-20at%N, which also suggests existing of N solid solution of glassy phase. Inert element of Ar+ yields dispersion of nano-voids among glassy matrix. Nano-indentation tests reveal that Young’s modulus of ion implanted glassy film dramatically changes with respect to the induced nano-structure, to decrease 0.4 times for Ar+, to increase 1.3 times for N+ as comparison with that for as-deposited state.

This article deals with the classification of glassy and polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries into the so-called “strong/fragile” scale, by the means of the bond-strength-coordination number fluctuation model. We have evaluated the strength parameter, which plays a key role in the understanding of the relaxation phenomena, of each lithium-ion conductor under consideration. We have derived a relationship that not only describes accurately the experimental results, but also provides important details on the interrelation between the strength parameter, the bond strength of the structural unit, the binding energy, the coordination number and the glass transition temperature.

Scleral acrylic resin is widely used to synthesize ocular prosthesis. However, the properties of this material change over time, thus requiring the prosthesis to be refabricated. Many studies were conducted to improve these properties by reinforcing this material with nanoparticles. This study aims to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticle powder on the mechanical properties (transverse flexural strength, impact strength, shear bond strength, surface microhardness, and surface roughness) of scleral acrylic resin used for ocular prostheses. Two concentrations were selected from the pilot study and evaluated for their effects on scleral acrylic resin properties. According to the pilot study, 0.01 and 0.02wt% AgNPs powder improved the transverse flexural strength, microhardness, and surface roughness compared with other percentages. The specimens in the main study were divided into (3) main groups, (50) specimens without additives (control group A), (50) experimental specimens (with 0.01wt% AgNPs group B), and (50) experimental specimens (with 0.02 wt% AgNPs group C). Each group was subdivided into (5) equal subgroups depending on the tests used. The data were studied using one way ANOVA and post hoc LSD test. At 0.01 wt% AgNPs addition, the mean values of transverse flexural strength insignificantly increased (p> 0.05), and those of impact strength and shear bond strength significantly increased (p< 0.05) compared with those of the control group. At 0.02 wt% AgNPs addition (group C), the mean value of transverse flexural strength significantly increased (p< 0.05), that of impact strength insignificantly increased (p> 0.05), and that of shear bond strength increased with high significance (p< 0.01) compared with those of the control group. Group C showed insignificant increase in the mean values of transverse flexural strength, impact strength, and shear bond strength (p. 0.05) compared with group B. The scleral acrylic resin added with 0.01 and 0.02 wt% AgNPs showed insignificant increase in microhardness and insignificant decrease in surface roughness. The addition of AgNPs powder in both concentrations improved the mechanical properties of scleral acrylic resin used for ocular prostheses.
