Sn掺杂对Mn3Zn1-xSnxN化合物负热膨胀行为和电输运性能的影响

采用固相反应法成功制备了Mn3Zn1-xSnxN(x=0.05,0.1,0.15,0.2,0.3)系列化合物,研究了Sn替代Zn对Mn3Zn1-xSnxN化合物的热膨胀、熵变和电输运性能的影响。Mn3Zn N化合物在磁相变温区以下具有低热膨胀行为,随着Sn掺杂量的增加,Mn3Zn1-xSnxN系列化合物的低膨胀温区(LTE)逐渐提高到室温以上。同时,低膨胀温区内的线膨胀系数逐渐升高。然而,Sn含量的增加对磁相变附近的负热膨胀行为未产生明显的影响。电阻测量结果表明Mn3Zn1-xSnxN化合物低温(50 K以下)电输运出现反常。随着Sn含量的增加,Mn3Zn1-xSnxN化合物在低温下出现的电阻率极小值现象逐渐减弱,最终在x=0.2处消失。拟合结果表明,该系列化合物中的电子-电子散射随掺杂量增加逐渐增强,出现明显的费米液体行为。由于丰富的低膨胀性能和独特的电输运性能,该化合物在功能材料领域将具有重要的研究价值和应用前景。

A yttrium-containing high-temperature titanium alloy additively manufactured by selective electron beam melting

A yttrium-containing high-temperature titanium alloy(Ti-6Al-2.7Sn-4Zr-0.4Mo-0.45Si-0.1Y, mass fraction, %) has been additively manufactured using selective electron beam melting(SEBM). The resulting microstructure and textures were studied using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD) and compared with the conventionally manufactured form. A notable distinct difference of microstructures is that additive manufacturing by SEBM enables homogeneous precipitation of fine Y2O3 dispersoids in the size range of 50-250 nm throughout the as-fabricated alloy, despite the presence of just trace levels of oxygen(7×10-4, mass fraction) and yttrium(10-3, mass fraction) in the alloy. In contrast, the conventionally manufactured alloy shows inhomogeneously distributed coarse Y2O3 precipitates, including cracked or debonded Y2O3 particles.

Influence of exfoliation corrosion on tensile properties of a high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy

The influence of exfoliation corrosion on the tensile properties of a high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was investigated by ambient temperature tensile testing, optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and electron backscatter diffraction （EBSD）. After exfoliation corrosion immersion, blisters and corrosion pits can be seen on the sheet surface, which lead to loss of materials and notches. A number of intergranular cracks are observed to initiate at the bottom of the corrosion-induced notches and propagate rapidly into the bulk materials during tensile. Consequently, exfoliation corrosion results in significant loss of strength and brittle fracture. EBSD results show that the crack propagation path is primarily along the grain boundaries with misorientation of-45°, and coincidence site lattice （CSL） boundaries are slightly more resistant to crack.

Laser-Assisted Elastic Electron Scattering from Argon

The second Born approximation （SBA） theory is applied to the study of electron-atom scattering in the presence of a CO2 laser field.The absolute differential crass sections of e-Ar scattering are calculated with multiphoton exchange in two special scattering geometries G1 （for small-angle scattering） and G2. For geometry G1, compared with the results of two different model potentials for electron elastic scattering by atoms, it is found that electronatom polarization potential plays an important role in laser-assisted electron-atom scattering. Some calculational results in geometries G2 are given. Our results are found to be better than other theoretical results as compared with the experimental data in geometries G1 and G2.

Microstructural evaluation of Hastelloy-X transient liquid phase bonded joints:Effects of filler metal thickness and holding time

Transient liquid phase(TLP)bonding was investigated in Hastelloy-X samples with different filler metal thicknesses(20,35,50,65,and 100μm)and holding time(5,20,80,320,and 640 min)to obtain optimum bonding parameters.Microstructural evaluations using electron probe microanalysis(EPMA)and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD)show that the central eutectic phases present in the athermally solidified zone(ASZ)are Ni_(3)B,Ni_(2)Si,and CrB,and the precipitates formed in the diffusion-affected zone(DAZ)are MoB,CrB_(2),and Mo_(2)B_(5).According to the results,decreasing the filler thickness as well as increasing the holding time helps realize the completion of isothermal solidification and reduction in the density of precipitates in the DAZ,leading to a joint with more uniform properties.Diffusion of boron and silicon to longer distances with increasing holding time causes the removal of Cr-rich borides in the DAZ and the formation of Mo-rich silicide at the joint interface.Decrease in hardness of ASZ and DAZ due to the elimination of brittle phases in these zones during long holding time causes more uniform hardness distribution in the joint area.The best results are obtained for the sample joined with the 35μm-thick filler metal for 640 min holding time.

Total Atomic Scattering Factors of 1s^23s ~2S States for Lithium Isoelectronic Sequence

Total atomic scattering factors for the 1s^23s ^2S stages for the lithium isoelectronic sequence from Z = 3 - 10 are calculated by using the full core plus correlation wave function. The influence of electron correlation on total atomic scattering factors is considered sufficiently in our calculation. For the 1s^2 3s ^2S states of the lithium isoelectronic sequence, the general functional behaviour of total atomic scattering factors is analyzed together for each state of the isoelectronic sequence.

Applications of Compton scattering

Compton scattering is used very widely. In this article, we depict an overall picture for its applications which are based on two basic theories. The first is the electron densitometry theory related to electron density. According to this theory its applications are in two fields: one is Compton scatter densitometry (CSD), the other is Compton scatter imaging (CSI). The second technique involves the electron momentum distribution and Compton profile. Applications of this technique are mainly the Compton profile analysis (CPA) and the Compton profile or the electron momentum distribution in physics and chemistry. Future research fields are suggested according to the current situation and limits of this technique and a promising prospect is unfolded.

Microwave Diagnostics for Studies of Electromagnetic Scattering by Fluorescent Lamp Plasma

This paper rerports a related microwave diagnostic methhod that measures both the electron number density and the electron-neu- tral collision frequency, which are crucial to understand the behavior of microwave traveling in plasma. Arrays of standard commercial fluoresoent lamp placed directly against each other in two rows are used to produce a plasma layer. Attenuations of microwave by plasma layer are studied experimentally in the frequencies of 1--8 C44z using a synthesized signal generator and a spectnnn analyzer. Two wavepolarizations are trader investigation： dectric field of the wave is either parallel （ E -wave） or perpendicular （H-wave） to the fluorescent lamp axis. The electron number density and the electron-neutral collision frequency of fluorescent lamp plasma are obtained by microwave diagnostics, for the purpose of analyzing microwave scattering characteristics by plasma.

Evolution of microstructure and texture of cold-drawn polycrystalline Ag with low stacking fault energy

The evolution of microstructure and texture for drawn polycrystalline Ag was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and electron backscattering diffraction.The results show that there are deformation twins and some un-tangled discrete dislocations at low strains.When the strain is increased to 0.58,a lot of high density dislocation walls and microbands come into being.At the same time,some twins lose the twinning relationship of 60°<111>.At a strain of 0.94,both dislocation boundaries and twin boundaries will rotate to the axis direction of wires and the shear bands start to appear.When the strain is higher than 1.96,most of the boundaries are parallel to the drawn direction.Texture analysis indicates that with the strain increasing,the volume fraction of complex texture component decreases,but<111>and<100>texture components increase.However,the variation in the volume fraction of each texture component as strains is not evident when the strains are higher than 0.58.For polycrystalline Ag with low stacking fault energy,complex texture components are easily formed.

Bimodal plate structures induced by pulsed laser in duplex-phase Zr alloy

A duplex-phase Zr-2.5Nb alloy was treated by pulsed laser, followed by careful microstructural characterization using field emission gun scanning electron microscope and attached electron backscatter diffraction. Beneath the modification zones with common uniform α-plate structures(UPS), a layer of unreported bimodal α-plate structures(BPS) featured by coarse(submicron)plates forming multiple cores surrounded by dense fine(nanoscale) plates was found. Presence of such BPS is attributed to non-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions induced by the pulsed laser treatments. Limited diffusion of Nb due to the short pulse during laser heating allows β phases with distinctly different Nb contents to be presented: Nb-enriched prior β films and Nb-depleted β phases, transforming into the fine and the coarse plates during cooling, respectively. Orientation analyses show that both types of plates in the BPS are aroused essentially from a single β orientation, suggesting epitaxial growth of the Nb-depletedβ phases from the preexisting β films.

The application of back-scattered electron imaging for characterization of pearlitic steels

The microstructures of pearlitic steel wire rods and steel wires are commonly characterized by secondary electron imaging (SEI)technique using scanning electron microscopy(SEM).In this work,a back-scattered electron imaging(BSEI)method is proposed to determine the microstructures of undeformed and deformed pearlitic steels with nanometer scale pearlite lamellae.The results indicate that BSEI technique can characterize the pearlite lamellas veritably and is effective in quantitative measurement of the mean size of pearlite interlamellar spacing.To some extent,BSEI method is more suitable than SEI technique for studying undeformed and not severely deformed pearlitic steels.

Effect of direct quenching on microstructure and mechanical properties of medium-carbon Nb-bearing steel

The influence of direct quenching (DQ) on microstructure and mechanical properties of 0.19C-1.7Si-1.0 Mn-0.05Nb steel was studied. The microstructure and mechanical properties of reheat quenched and tempered (RQ&T) steel plate were compared with those of direct quenched and tempered (DQ&T) steel plates which were hot rolled at different finish rolling tem-peratures (1173 K and 1123 K), i.e., recrystallization-controlled-rolled direct-quenched (RCR&DQ) and controlled-rolled direct-quenched (CR&DQ), respectively. The strengths generally increased in the following order: RQ&T<RCR&DQ&T< CR&DQ&T. Strength differences between the CR&DQ&T and RQ&T conditions as high as 14% were observed at the tempered temperature of 573 K. The optical microscopy of the CR&DQ&T steel showed deformed grains elongated along the rolling direction, while complete equiaxed grains were visible in RQ&T and RCR&DQ&T steels. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) of the DQ steels showed smaller block width and higher density of dislocations. Inheritance of austenite deformation substructure by the martensite and differences in martensite block width were ruled out as major causes for the strength differences between DQ and RQ steels.

The process and mechanisms of metamorphism and deformation of hornblende-An example from the Hengshan Mountains, Shanxi Province

Hornblende＇s plastic and superplastic deformation mechanisms were studied on the basis of some new information obtained from amphibolite samples in the Hengshan Mountains （Hengshan, Shanxi, China）.For this purpose, the samples were measured and analyzed by optical microscope （OM）, electron probe microanalysis （EPMA）, transmission electron microscope （TEM） and electron backscattered diffraction （EBSD） respectively.Because localized strong strain is more than 1000%, it is presumed that structural superplastic deformation was developed during the ductile shearing process.It is calculated that deformation occurred at 650-679℃ and 0.770-0.914 GPa, based on the study of plagioclase-hornblende geothermometry and geobarometry.TEM images show that new hornblende grains developed few dislocations and hornblende crystals exhibit straight grain boundaries.EBSD of strongly deformed hornblendes reveals a fabric dominated by a {100} lattice preferred orientation （LPO）, indicative of new grain recrystallization along the lineation direction （X axis）.Thus superplastic deformation of hornblendes from the Hengshan Mountains was developed by mainly solid-state diffusive mass transfer and grain boundary sliding.

Microstructure and texture evolution of cold drawing <110> single crystal copper

By means of electron backscattering diffraction and transmission electron microscopy the microstructure and texture of drawn single crystal copper with initial orientation （110） parallel to axial direction have been investigated in the present work. In or- der to analyze the effect of initial orientation on microstructure and texture of drawn copper, the results of the drawn （110） sin- gle crystal copper wires have been compared with （100） and （111） single crystal copper wires. It is found that the grain subdi- vision of （110） single crystal is more evident than that of （100） and （111）, and the textures consisting of （111） and （100） abruptly form in the drawn （110） single crystal. At high strains, due to shear strain, the distribution of fiber textures is imho- mogenous along the radial direction of drawn （110） single crystal copper wires. （100） is near the surface and （111） is at the center. The microstructure results of drawn （110） single crystal show that at low strains, it can be characterized as two kinds of geometrically necessary boundaries with noncrystalline character. At medium strains, S bands can be observed. At high strains, lamellar boundaries form. Mean misofientation and average spacing of dislocation boundary are larger in drawn （110） single crystal, as compared with （111） and （100）. In drawn （110） single crystal with high strains, the bimodal distribution forms at lower strains than in drawn （100） single crystal, which is because the dislocation boundaries with high angle are contributed by not only the boundary between （111） and （100） fiber textures but also the boundary in （111） or （100） texture.

Deformation bands in fully pearlitic steel during wire drawing

The deformation of fully pearlitic steels during wire drawing has been investigated for botb longitudinal section and transverse section by back-scattered electron imaging （BSEI）, electron back-scattered diffraction （EBSD）, and transmission electron mi- croscope （TEM）. The results show that a large number of deformation bands （DBs） composed of a mixture of kink-like bands and shear-like bands were observed both in the longitudinal section and the traverse section of the drawn wires. The formation of such bands involves two aspects： heterogeneous deformation in the scale of pearlite colonies and instability of fer- rite-cementite interfaces due to stress concentration during wire drawing. The development of suck bands in fully pearlitic steels dominates the formation of metallograpbic texture, reduces the pearlite interlamellar spacing and promotes the development of 〈 110〉 fiber crystalline texture of ferrite matrix during wire drawing.
