A C15 Laves phase, HfV2+Nb, shows promising mechanical properties and here we describe the structure of its grain boundaries. The C15 Laves phase has a fcc lattice with a=7.4Å. An alloy of composition Hf14V64Nb22 (including a C15 matrix and a second phase of V-rich bcc solution) was made by arc-melting. The alloy was homogenized at 1200°C for 120h. Preliminary study concentrated on Σ3{<110>/70.53°} grain boundaries in the C15 phase using Philips 400T and CM 30 microscopes.The most-commonly observed morphology of Σ3{<110>/70.53°} grain boundaries in the C15 phase is a faceted boundary. A bright field image (BFI) of the faceted boundary and the corresponding diffraction patterns with the grain boundary edge-on are shown in Fig. 1(a). From the diffraction patterns using a <110> zone axis for both grains, it is obvious that this is a Σ3{<110>/70.53°} grain boundary. Crystallographic analysis shows that the Σ3{<110>/70.53°} grain boundaries selectively facet with the following relationships between the two grains: {111}1//{111}2, {112}1//{112}2, {111}1//{115}2, and {001}1//{221}2.

The alloy of composition Ni4Mo develops, at temperatures below 860 °C, an ordered Dla-structure which is based on the fcc-lattice. This alloy has been widely investigated with respect to its physical properties and its ordering behaviour. High resolution studies are rare and concentrated mainly on its short-range order structure. The aim of the present work was to develop a detailed understanding of image contrast and to apply the results to antiphase-boundary studies in ordered Ni4Mo by means of a JEOL 4000 EX electron microscope.In high-resolution electron microscopy, depending on defocus and foil thickness, a large variety of different images is obtained. Only a few of these allow a direct interpretation concerning the location and the type of the atoms. By computing a through-focus/through-thickness map (TFTT map) before starting experimental work it is possible to determine the proper conditions at which images can be obtained which are closely related to the projected potential.

A computer program for following the trajectories of high energy ions in an fcc-lattice has been written to evaluate the reflection rate of high energy ions with grazing incidence to (001)- and (111̅)-Au-surfaces. The calculation yields a rapid decrease of the reflection rate for penetration directions close to low-index atomic planes. It can be shown that this result is caused by channeling of the ions between the atomic planes.

AbstractBilayers of Cu/Fe and Cu/V and multilayers of Ni/Fe have been grown under high vacuum and ultra high vacuum conditions respectively with [111] epitaxy. Multilayer layer thicknesses ranged from 3 monolayers to 15 monolayers per layer. Improved epitaxy of the UHV growth was, we believe, due to the better vacuum although perfect material could only be obtained for growth within a narrow and shifting substrate temperature ‘window’. Possible shortfall in the quality of the Cu backing layer epitaxy was averted by a 2hr anneal at 425°C.In the Fe/Ni multilayers the Fe was observed to adopt the FCC lattice rather than the equilibrium BCC lattice for layer thicknesses less than 10 monolayers. This change of structure coincided with a reduction in sample magnetic moment per volume attributed to a collapse of the Fe moment to a value 7 times less than bulk.

Ni96.7Mo3.3 powder was electrochemically obtained. An X-ray diffraction analysis determined that the powder consisted of a 20% amorphous and 80% crystalline phase. The crystalline phase consisted of a nanocrystalline solid nickel and molybdenum solution with a face-centred cubic (FCC) lattice with a high density of chaotically distributed dislocations and high microstrain value. The scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) showed that two particle structures were formed: larger cauliflower-like particles and smaller dendriteshaped ones. The thermal stability of the alloy was examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and by measuring the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity and magnetic permeability. Structural powder relaxation was carried out in the temperature range of 450 K to 560 K causing considerable changes in the electrical resistivity and magnetic permeability. Upon structural relaxation, the magnetic permeability of the cooled alloy was about 80% higher than the magnetic permeability of the fresh powder. The crystallisation of the amorphous portion of the powder and crystalline grain increase occurred in the 630 K to 900 K temperature interval. Upon crystallisation of the amorphous phase and crystalline grain increase, the powder had about 50% lower magnetic permeability than the fresh powder and 3.6 times lower permeability than the powder where only structural relaxation took place.
