Hot corrosion behavior of porous nickel-based alloys containing molybdenum in the presence of NaCl at 750 °C

The hot corrosion of porous Ni-23Cr-xMo (0%, 4.5%, 9.0%, 13.5%, mass fraction) alloys tested at 750 °C under cyclic procedure was investigated in order to elucidate the effect of Mo addition on hot corrosion in the presence of NaCl. The hot corrosion experiments were performed at 750 °C in air with 4 mg cm^− 2 NaCl deposit. The performance of the alloys was evaluated by the results of weight change kinetics. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the corrosion products. The results indicate that NaCl accelerated the oxidation of the alloys by chloridized elements Mo and Cr. Among the porous Ni-23Cr-xMo alloys, Ni-23Cr-9Mo alloy exhibited the best hot corrosion resistance due to the formation of NiO-NiCr₂O₄-Cr₂O₃ oxide scales. Furthermore, these oxide scales were confirmed more effective to protect the alloys after adding of Mo.     

Local microstructure of Ge layers buried in a silicon crystal studied by extended X-ray absorption fine structure

The local structure of Si-capped Ge quantum dots formed in Stranski–Krastanov growth mode on a (001) Si substrate was probed by X-ray absorption at the Ge K-edge. Analysis by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) was performed under the assumption of a solid solution model of the Si distribution inside the quantum dots (QDs) and taking into account polarization effects. It was found that QDs formed for 8 ML are strained and the Ge–Ge and Ge–Si bond lengths vary with direction. The Si content inside the QDs was found to be at a level of ∼25 at.% for strained (8 ML sample) QDs and ∼12 at.% for unstrained (10 ML sample) QDs. This work demonstrates the usefulness of EXAFS analysis for the determination of the local atomic structure in covered low-dimensional structures.
