Structure and characteristics of laser crystallized thin amorphous Si films
2011
Abstract Pure amorphous Si thin films deposited on oxidized crystalline Si surface (111) were crystallized by picosecond UV laser pulses. The Raman scattering spectra show that pulse energy of 330 mJ/cm2 is enough to fully crystallize Si film and further increase of the energy does not improve crystallinity. A large grained polycrystalline Si was obtained as revealed by surface analysis. A significant increase in carrier mobility was observed after laser crystallization.
Electron paramagnetic resonance of Gd3 in TlGdSe2
2003
Electron paramagnetic resonance has been studied on the polycrystalline sample of the layer compound TlGdSe 2 . When the temperature is lowered from room temperature the linewidth reaches a shallow minimum near 60 K and then decreases rapidly below 15 K. From the two-dimensional molecular field model two exchange constants J 1 and J 2 with the nearest and next nearest neighbors were estimated. The calculated high-temperature limit of the linewidth (341 mT) is in fair agreement with the experimental value (314 mT). It may be slightly improved after taking into account the preferred orientation of the sample.
Dominance of microstructural processes and their effect on microstructural development: insights from numerical modelling of dynamic recrystallization
2002
The influence of the dominance of different processes on the microstructural development of a quarzite has been numerically modelled using the modelling system Elle. In the model dynamic recrystallization of a polycrystalline aggregate has been simulated by a combination of viscous deformation, lattice rotation, subgrain formation, rotation recrystallization, nucleation of new grains and recovery. Different combinations of the dominance of processes are considered by variations in values of the grain boundary mobility and the energy threshold value for recrystallization by nucleation of new grains. In addition, two different starting microstructures (fine and coarse grained) are used. Resul…
Structural Organization of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Hydrogels Obtained by Freezing and Thawing Techniques: A SANS Study
2005
The structural organization of matter in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels obtained by repeatedly freezing and thawing dilute solutions of PVA in D2O is investigated by use of small-angle neutron scattering measurements (SANS). This study is the first systematic and quantitative investigation in the medium range of length scales on PVA hydrogels obtained by freezing and thawing techniques. The studied gels have a complex hierarchical structure, extending over a wide range of length scales. The structural organization on the micron length scale originates from the presence of two separated phases constituted by polymer-rich and polymer-poor regions. The network structure may be interpreted…

The Properties Of Commercial Alumina Base Materials And Their Effect On The Manufacture Of Active Porous Alumina Supports By Means Of Extrusion
1983
The behaviour of 60 commercial base aluminas (macrocrystalline non-porous gibbsites, microcrystalline non-porous and porous boehmites, thermally activated porous boehmites and gibbsites) was studied via paste processing and extrusion in order to produce active porous alumina pellets. The most decisive properties of the base materials with respect to extrusion were: the degree of dehydration, the mean of aggregate size, the shape of aggregate size distribution, the shape of aggregates, the size of primary crystallites and the specific surface area. The relevance of these properties to those of the final pellets, i.e. crushing strength, porosity, pore volume distribution and specific surface …
Magnetic and structural properties of the double-perovskite Ca2FeReO6
2002
Abstract We suceeded in the preparation of polycrystalline Ca2FeReO6 which has a Curie temperature TC of 540 K, the highest value of all magnetic perovskites investigated till now. This material has been characterised by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. We found at 548 K, a monoclinic unit cell (space group P21/n) with a=5.4366(5) A , b=5.5393(5) A , c=7.7344(5) A , and β=90.044(4)°. For temperatures below 400 K, a phase separation in two monoclinic phases with identical cell volume is observed in neutron scattering. The two phases possess different magnetic structure and coercivity. The conductivity is thermally activated for all temperatures and no significant magnetoresistivity is o…
Correlation between milling parameters and microstructure characteristics of nanocrystalline copper powder prepared via a high energy planetary ball …
2007
The microstructure evolution of Cu-nanostructured powders versus the ball milling conditions was investigated by whole peak profile powder pattern modeling method. This method allows defining in some approach the characteristics of as-milled Cu powder microstructure in terms of crystallite size, type and density of dislocations and twin faults density. It is shown that the change of microstructure characteristics of as-milled Cu powder versus the ball milling conditions (under constant time of the ball milling) depend on only some energy parameters of the milling, for example, average size of crystallite is uniquely defined by energy of the shock, whereas the portion of edge and screw compo…
Crystal chemical characterization of mullite-type aluminum borate compounds
2017
Abstract Al-rich aluminum borates were prepared by different synthesis routes using various Al/B ratios, characterized by diffraction methods, spectroscopy and prompt gamma activation analysis. The 11B NMR data show a small amount of BO4 species in all samples. The chemical analysis indicates a trend in the Al/B ratio instead of a fixed composition. Both methods indicate a solid solution Al5−xB1+xO9 where Al is substituted by B in the range of 1–3%. The structure of B-rich Al4B2O9 (C2/m, a=1488 pm, b=553 pm, c=1502 pm, s=90.6°), was re-investigated by electron diffraction methods, showing that structural details vary within a crystallite. In most of the domains the atoms are orderly distrib…
Elucidating the Effect of Bimodal Grain Size Distribution on Plasticity and Fracture Behavior of Polycrystalline Materials
2020
The refinement of grains in a polycrystalline material leads to an increase in strength but as a counterpart to a decrease in elongation to fracture. Different routes are proposed in the literature to try to overpass this strength-ductility dilemma, based on the combination of grains with highly contrasted sizes. In the simplest concept, coarse grains are used to provide relaxation locations for the highly stressed fine grains. In this work, a model bimodal polycrystalline system with a single coarse grain embedded in a matrix of fine grains is considered. Numerical full-field micro-mechanical analyses are performed to characterize the impact of this coarse grain on the stress-strain const…
