Strain Relaxation in Cu-Al-Ni Shape Memory Alloys Studied by in Situ Neutron Diffraction Experiments
(American Institute of Physics, 2019-02-28)
In situ neutron diffraction is used to study the strain relaxation on a single crystal and other powdered Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys (SMAs) around martensitic transformation temperatures. This work is focused on the ...
Ultrahigh Superelastic Damping at the Nano-Scale: a Robust Phenomenon to Improve Smart MEMS Devices
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Micro and nano pillars of Copper-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) with feature sizes between about 2 mu m and 250 nm are known to exhibit ultra-high mechanical damping due to the nucleation and motion of stress-induced ...
Studying the influence of substitutional elements on mechanical behavior of Alloy 718
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
In nickel-based superalloys, substitutional solute species have a strong impact on in service mechanical properties as well as on oxidation and corrosion resistances. In alloy 718, recent studies carried out by tensile ...
Ni–Ti-Hf High-Temperature Shape Memory Alloy: Measure of the Clausius-Clapeyron Coefficient Through Mechanical Spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2021-03-05)
The martensitic transformation of Ni49.5Ti35.5Hf15 high temperature shape memory alloy is characterized by internal friction measurements. The temperatures for the reversible B2 <-> B19' transformation appear in the range ...
Acoustic plasmons in extrinsic free-standing graphene
(IOP Publishing, 2014-08-04)
An acoustic plasmon is predicted to occur, in addition to the conventional two-dimensional (2D) plasmon, as the collective motion of a system of two types of electronic carriers coexisting in the same 2D band of extrinsic ...
Unconventional spin texture of a topologically nontrivial semimetal Sb(110)
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2012-10-17)
The surfaces of antimony are characterized by the presence of spin-split states within the projected bulk band gap and the Fermi contour is thus expected to exhibit a spin texture. Using spin-resolved density functional ...
Upgrading the Performance of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Lasers: Improvement Margins and Limitations
(MDPI, 2017)
The topic of cholesteric-liquid-crystal lasers is a rapidly expanding research area in the field of soft-matter photonics. The increasing interest in this field is due to the high versatility that these lasers may possibly ...
Reversible and Non-Reversible Transformation of Magnetic Structure in Amorphous Microwires
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
We provide an overview of the tools directed to reversible and irreversible transformations of the magnetic structure of glass-covered microwires. The irreversible tools are the selection of the chemical composition, ...
Influence of Nb on Ti Diffusion in Gamma-TiAl Intermetallics Studied by Mechanical Spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2021-01-25)
The development of intermetallic titanium aluminides has been driven by the aeronautic and aerospace industries because of the excellent mechanical properties and low density of gamma-TiAl based alloys. Up to now, several ...
Atomistic Simulations of Geopolymer Models: The Impact of Disorder on Structure and Mechanics
(ACS, 2018-06-13)
Geopolymers are hydrated aluminosilicates with excellent binding properties. Geopolymers appeal to the construction sector as a more sustainable alternative to traditional cements, but their exploitation is limited by a ...
