In this study, Mg-6.8Gd-4.5Y-0.5Zr alloy was fabricated by the spray atomization and deposition technique. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were studied using optical microscopy, scanning/transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and tensile tests. The secondary phases in the microstructure of the spray-deposited alloy were examined. The tensile test results indicate that the spray-deposited Mg-6.8Gd-4.5Y-0.5Zr alloy displays superior tensile strength due to grain refinement and the presence of precipitating strengthening phases.

In this study, Zn-30Al-1Cu alloy was synthesized by the spray atomization and deposition technique. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy were studied using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and tensile tests.

Copper nanoparticles are of great interest in various applications, such as catalysis, cooling fluids, conductive inks or for their antibacterial activity. In this paper, the thermal behavior of copper nanoparticles was studied using thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Original Cu samples as well as the products of oxidation were analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning/transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. A step-by-step oxidation mechanism during the oxidation of Cu nano-powders was observed. The Cu-nano oxidation starts slightly above 150 °C when bulk copper does not yet react. The dominant oxidation product in the first step is Cu2O while CuO was identified as the final state of oxidation. Our results confirm an easier oxidation process of Cu-nano than Cu-micro particles, which must be attributed to kinetic not thermodynamic aspects of oxidation reactions.

ABSTRACTA recently discovered synthetic route to new kinetically stable [(MSe)y]m[TSe2]n layered intergrowths has been applied to prepare several different compositions (M = Pb or Sn, T = Ta, Nb, Mo, or W) with m = n = 1, in thin film form. Scanning transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction show the nanostructure of these materials is characterized by a combination of in-plane component crystallinity with misregistration and rotational mis-orientation between adjacent layers. Extremely low cross-plane thermal conductivity as low as 0.1 W m-1 K-1 are attributed to the turbostratic nanostructure. By appropriate choice of M and T, we demonstrate that a range of electrical transport properties are possible, from metallic to semiconducting. Annealing (PbSe)0.99WSe2 and (PbSe)1.00MoSe2 specimens in a controlled atmosphere of PbSe or WSe2 is observed to systematically influence carrier properties, and is interpreted in terms of reduction of the concentration of electrically active defects. Considering these observations and the large composition and structural space that can be explored in such [(MSe)y]m[TSe2]n intergrowths, these materials are of interest for further investigation as potential thermoelectric materials.

Nesquehonite, a hydrous carbonate with promising uses such as building raw material and treatment of wastewaters, was synthesized under low pressure conditions by reaction of gaseous CO2 with Mg chloride solution and it was studied by means of X-Ray Diffraction, optical and scanning/transmission electron microscopy, and FTIR and Raman spectroscopic methods. Synthesized nesquehonite forms elongated fibers, exhibiting transparent to translucent diaphaneity and vitreous luster. It is characterized by high crystallinity. IR and Raman spectroscopy indicated the presence of OHand HCO3 - in the crystal structure of nesquehonite. The nesquehonite synthesis described herein constitutes a potential permanent storage of CO2 emissions.

The objective of this study was to develop a thermo-mechanical strategy to create a radial elasticity gradient in a β metastable Ti-Nb-Zr alloy, and to characterize it in terms of microstructural and mechanical properties. A first investigation was conducted on thin samples of Ti-20Nb-6Zr (at.%) submitted to various thermo-mechanical treatments. Microstructure-properties relationships and elastic variability of this alloy were determined performing uniaxial tensile tests, X-ray diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Based on these preliminary results, mechanical deformation was identified as a potential way to lower the elastic modulus of the alloy. In order to create elastically graded pieces, shot-peening was therefore carried out on thicker samples to engender surface deformation. In this second part of the work, local mechanical properties were evaluated by instrumented micro-indentation. Experimental observations demonstrated that shot-peening enabled to locally induce martensitic transformation on surface, and a decrease in indentation elastic modulus from 85 to 65 GPa over 400 μm was highlighted. Surface deformation proved to be an efficient way of creating an elasticity gradient in β metastable titanium alloys. This combination of material and process could be suitable to produce dental implants with mechanically enhanced biocompatibility.

TiO2@CNTs nanocomposite was synthetized by a hydrothermal method at 453 K, using titanium tetrachloride as a precursor and nitrified CNTs as a support. The crystal phase, morphology, microstructure and element distribution of the sample were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM-Mapping). The photocatalytic activity of the sample was measured by degrading methyl orange under UV illumination. The results showed that the titania particles in the shape of regular polygon decorate on the outer surface of CNTs evenly, and their sizes were about 7-20 nm. Moreover, photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite was better than that of P25 Degussa and nitrated CNTs followed the apparent pseudo-first-order rate law. These results point out that synergistic effect exists between the titania and the carbon nanotubes in the nanocomposite.
