Effect of mechanical milling on the mobility of hydrogen in the ZrTi<Subscript>2</Subscript>-H system stabilized by hydrogen: NMR data

Methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to investigate the effect of milling on the properties of the hydrogen-stabilized compound ZrTi₂H_3.9 with the structure of the metallic sublattice of the C15 type. It has been found that the milling leads to a phase separation in the initial sample: there appears an additional phase with a structure of the TiH₂ type and an average grain size of approximately 10 nm. The mobility of hydrogen in the phase of the TiH₂ type is considerably lower than in the phase of the C15 type. An analysis of the results of measurements of rate the spin-lattice relaxation of 1H nuclei in wide ranges of temperatures (20–420 K) and resonance frequencies (14.6–90 MHz) allowed us to estimate the parameters of the hopping motion of hydrogen atoms in the phase of the C15 type. It has been established that an increase in the time of milling leads to a decrease in the mobility of hydrogen in this phase.     

Effect of external force fields on the domain structure of equiatomic CuAu alloy

Peculiarities of the ordered-structure formation in the equiatomic CuAu alloy, which are caused by changes in the sample dimensions and by an applied external force field, have been studied. The rate of the microstructure transformation in the ordered alloy has been found to increase with increasing thickness of the sample. It has been shown that tensile stresses applied during heat treatment can affect the growth direction of c domains and, thus, makes it possible to avoid the low-temperature cracking of the material.     

Process of faceting in nanoparticles of FCC metals: Results of simulation by the molecular-dynamics method

The process of formation of facets (faceting) in Ni, Al, and Au nanoparticles has been investigated by the molecular-dynamics method. It has been established that the surface of nanoparticles of fcc metals with attainment of a low-energy habit can be transformed via correlated displacements of atomic groups of the facet in the octahedral plane. It has been shown that such a process is similar to the surface diffusion of atomic n-mers with the activation energy depending on the facet size, and for particles with a diameter d < 3.0 nm the correlated displacement of atomic layers proves to be the dominant mechanism of faceting.     

The synthesis of novel fluorine-containing random polymer and application in modification of solid surfaces

The novel fluorine-containing random polymers, poly (2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentafluorostyrene)-r-poly (4-vinyl benzocyclobutene) random copolymer was synthesized, which can effectively decrease the surface energy and provide a good corrosion protection for some metals. Additionally, textured silicon was fabricated by an optically assisted electrochemical etching process to study the effect of the random copolymer modification on the binary geometric structures of the solid surface. After modification the superhydrophobic property can easily be obtained, which show long-term stability and good superhydrophobicity in corrosive solutions over a wide pH range, including acidic and basic solutions.     

Composition and annealing effects in solution-processable functionalized graphene oxide/P3HT based solar cells

Characterization of a solution-processable functionalized graphene oxide (SPFGraphene oxide) was investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy and the result of elemental analysis showed that the isocyanate treatment results in the functionalization groups in SPFGraphene oxide. Doping SPFGraphene oxide to P3HT based solar cells induces absorbing spectra more strongly and a great quenching of the photoluminescence of the P3HT. With an increase in the SPFGraphene oxide content, the overall performances of the hybrid devices increases first, reaching the peak efficiency for the 10 wt% SPFGraphene oxide content, and then decreases. After annealing at 160 °C for different time durations, the device containing 10 wt% of SPFGraphene oxide for 10 min shows the best performance with a power conversion efficiency of 1.046%, an open-circuit voltage of 0.73 V, a short-circuit current density of 3.98 mA cm^?2 and a fill factor of 0.36 under simulated AM1.5G conditions at 100 mW cm^?2; The similar content one for 20 min shows η value of 1.013%, which is lower than the former one to a small extent for longer annealing duration. The graphene has the potential to act as the next-generation material in the photovoltaic devices and other applications for ease of preparation, low price, large surface area, high conductivity and excellent transparency.

Thermodynamic model for estimating the composition of passive films and Flade potential on Fe-Cr alloys in aqueous solutions

A thermodynamic model of a passive film is developed, in which the formation of the film on the surface of an Fe-Cr alloy in an aqueous solution is considered to be a result of the stable solid-phase chemical and adsorption equilibrium at the alloy-inner passive film layer interface. In the calculations, the Cr₂O₃ content in the passive film is determined by both the Gibbs energy change (ΔG < 0) in the chemical oxidation of the alloy components by the water oxygen and the change in the surface Gibbs energy (ΔG _S > 0) of the alloy. The ΔG _S change results in the negative adsorption of chromium atoms, which shifts the 3Fe + Cr₂O₃ ↔ 3FeO + 2Cr equilibrium toward the FeO formation in the passive film. Calculations showed that the enrichment of the passive film in chromium oxide should sharply increase in a chromium content range of 10–20% in the alloy, which agrees with the known data of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the passive films. A formula is derived for estimating the Flade potential of Fe-Cr alloys, which relates the Flade potentials of individual Fe and Cr components to the FeO and Cr₂O₃ contents in the passive film.
