The feasibility of an atomicversion of Young's double slit experiment for matter waves in ion-atom collisions was first discussed theoreticallyby Tuan and Gerjuoy in 1960[1]. They studied capture processes in collisions of protons with H2 and suggestedthat diffraction of the protons from the two atomic centers of the molecule could lead to interference effects. Suchinterference effects are more difficult to observe in ionization processes, since there the final state of the collisioninvolves at least three unbound particles. The experimental observation of this process is particularly challengingbecause the determination of the phase angle in such processes is not straightforward.展开更多

It is found that though Hf prefers to substitute A1 rather than Ni in Ni3A1 phase within most of the investigated misfit range, its stronger preferring to Ni phase than NiaA1 phase makes it impossible to go into Ni3A1 phase to occupy A1 site in Ni-Ni3A1 alloys. Bond order analysis in Hf-free case shows that lattice misfit has different effects on the Griffith work of interfacial cleavage 27int/E and the maximum theoretical shear stress Zmax of Ni and Ni3A1, contributing to the existence of anomalous strength-temperature phenomena in NiaA1 alloys. However, the addition of Hf will make the 27int/E (or Zmax) of both Ni3A1 and Ni decrease (or increase) with lattice misfit, indicating that the addition of Hf may make the anomalous strength-temperature relationship in Ni3A1 region disappear locally.展开更多
