In-situ time resolved X-ray diffraction study of the formation of the nanocrystalline NbAl3 phase by mechanically activated self-propagating high-tem…

1999

The mechanically activated self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (MASHS) technique was used to produce a NbAl3 intermetallic compound. This process results from the combination of two steps: a mechanical activation of the Nb 3Al powder mixture which is followed by a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction, induced by the exothermal character of the reaction Nb3Al. An original experiment was designed to study in-situ the formation of the NbAl3 phase in the combustion front: time-resolved X-ray diffraction coupled with an infrared imaging technique and a thermocouple measurement were performed to monitor the structural and thermal evolution during the SHS reaction.

Optical modeling of nickel-base alloys oxidized in pressurized water reactor

2012

International audience; The knowledge of the aging process involved in the primary water of pressurized water reactor entails investigating a mixed growth mechanism in the corrosion of nickel-base alloys. A mixed growth induces an anionic inner oxide and a cationic diffusion parallel to a dissolution-precipitation process forms the outer zone. The in situ monitoring of the oxidation kinetics requires the modeling of the oxide layer stratification with the full knowledge of the optical constants related to each component. Here, we report the dielectric constants of the alloys 600 and 690 measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry and fitted to a Drude-Lorentz model. A robust optical stratificati…

Dual-broadband rotational CARS modelling of nitrogen at pressures up to 9 MPa. II. Rotational Raman line widths

2002

International audience; Rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is a well-established spectroscopic technique for thermometry at pre-combustion temperatures an atmospheric pressure. However, at pressures of several MPa, a previous investigation revealed large discrepancies between experimental data and the theoretical model. A re-evaluation has been made of these data (at room temperature and in the range 1.5-9 MPa) with two improvements to the spectral code. The first is the inclusion of an inter-branch interference effect, which is described in detail in Paper I. The second is the use of experimental S-1-branch Raman line widths measured at 295 K, with a temperature depe…

Synthesis of niobium aluminides using mechanically activated self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and mechanically activated annealing process

1999

The mechanically activated self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (MASHS) technique and the mechanically activated annealing process (M2AP) were used to produce NbAl3 intermetallic compound. The MASHS process results from the combination of two steps: first, a mechanical activation of the Nb 3Al powders mixture; second, a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). The M2AP process also results from the combination of two steps: the first is the same; the second consists of the annealing of as-milled powders. Based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDXS), the as-milled powders, MASHS, and M2AP end-pr…

Spark plasma synthesis from mechanically activated powders: a versatile route for producing dense nanostructured iron aluminides

2004

Abstract The possibility of mechanically activated spark plasma sintering (MASPS) to perform simultaneously within a very short period of time the synthesis and the consolidation of nanophase iron aluminide from mechanically activated powders of Fe and Al in two different ratio (Fe53 at.% and Fe60 at.%) were confirmed in this work.

57Co emission studies of cupric oxide

1990

Results on the incorporation, valence and spin states of Fe(Co) in CuO (with reference to similar studies on high temperature superconductors) and coupling of the Fe(Co) moment to the Cu magnetism in CuO are presented. Freshly prepared57Co: CuO shows two quadrupole doublets D1 and D2 withQ.S. of 2.49 and 1.52,I.S. of 0.35 and 0.70 mm/s and relative abundance of 74% and 26%, respectively at room temperature, the abundance being dependent on time in a sample exposed to ambient conditions and reaching 38 to 62% fifteen months after preparation. Below,TN=2251K, a typical combined magnetic-quadrupole interaction pattern is observed with a single saturation magnetic hfs of 25.6 T, central shift o…

On the strength of the U A (1) anomaly at the chiral phase transition in N f = 2 QCD

2016

We study the thermal transition of QCD with two degenerate light flavours by lattice simulations using $O(a)$-improved Wilson quarks. Temperature scans are performed at a fixed value of $N_t = (aT)^{-1}=16$, where $a$ is the lattice spacing and $T$ the temperature, at three fixed zero-temperature pion masses between 200 MeV and 540 MeV. In this range we find that the transition is consistent with a broad crossover. As a probe of the restoration of chiral symmetry, we study the static screening spectrum. We observe a degeneracy between the transverse isovector vector and axial-vector channels starting from the transition temperature. Particularly striking is the strong reduction of the split…
