Stability and equation of state of face-centered cubic and hexagonal close packed phases of argon under pressure.

ABSTRACT: The compression of argon is measured between 10 K and 296 K up to 20 GPa and and up to 114 GPa at 296 K in diamond anvil cells. Three samples conditioning are used: (1) single crystal sample directly compressed between the anvils, (2) powder sample directly compressed between the anvils, (3) single crystal sample compressed in a pressure medium. A partial transformation of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase to a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure is observed above 4.2-13 GPa. Hcp phase forms through stacking faults in fcc-Ar and its amount depends on pressurizing conditions and starting fcc-Ar microstructure. The quasi-hydrostatic equation of state of the fcc phase is well described by a quasi-harmonic Mie-Grüneisen-Debye formalism, with the following 0 K parameters for Rydberg-Vinet equation: [Formula: see text] = 38.0 Å[Formula: see text]/at, [Formula: see text] = 2.65 GPa, [Formula: see text] = 7.423. Under the current experimental conditions, non-hydrostaticity affects measured P-V points mostly at moderate pressure ([Formula: see text] 20 GPa).

Rolling-induced Face Centered Cubic Titanium in Hexagonal Close Packed Titanium at Room Temperature.

Project description:Combining transmission electron microscopes and density functional theory calculations, we report the nucleation and growth mechanisms of room temperature rolling induced face-centered cubic titanium (fcc-Ti) in polycrystalline hexagonal close packed titanium (hcp-Ti). Fcc-Ti and hcp-Ti take the orientation relation: ?0001?hcp||?001?fcc and , different from the conventional one. The nucleation of fcc-Ti is accomplished via pure-shuffle mechanism with a minimum stable thickness of three atomic layers, and the growth via shear-shuffle mechanisms through gliding two-layer disconnections or pure-shuffle mechanisms through gliding four-layer disconnections. Such phase transformation offers an additional plastic deformation mode comparable to twinning.

Density Functional Theory Description of Paramagnetic Hexagonal Close-Packed Iron.

Project description:The hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase of iron is unstable under ambient conditions. The limited amount of existing experimental data for this system has been obtained by extrapolating the parameters of hcp Fe-Mn alloys to pure Fe. On the theory side, most density functional theory (DFT) studies on hcp Fe have considered non-magnetic or ferromagnetic states, both having limited relevance in view of the current understanding of the system. Here, we investigate the equilibrium properties of paramagnetic hcp Fe using DFT modelling in combination with alloy theory. We show that the theoretical equilibrium c/a and the equation of state of hcp Fe become consistent with the experimental values when the magnetic disorder is properly accounted for. Longitudinal spin fluctuation effects further improve the theoretical description. The present study provides useful data on hcp Fe at ambient and hydrostatic pressure conditions, contributing largely to the development of accurate thermodynamic modelling of Fe-based alloys.

Structural stability and energetics of grain boundary triple junctions in face centered cubic materials.

Project description:We present a systematic study to elucidate the role of triple junctions (TJs) and their constituent grain boundaries on the structural stability of nanocrystalline materials. Using atomistic simulations along with the nudge elastic band calculations, we explored the atomic structural and thermodynamic properties of TJs in three different fcc materials. We found that the magnitude of excess energy at a TJ was directly related to the atomic density of the metal. Further, the vacancy binding and migration energetics in the vicinity of the TJ were examined as they play a crucial role in the structural stability of NC materials. The resolved line tension which takes into account the stress buildup at the TJ was found to be a good measure in predicting the vacancy binding tendency near the TJ. The activation energy for vacancy migration along the TJ was directly correlated with the measured excess energy. Finally, we show that the resistance for vacancy diffusion increased for TJs with larger excess stored energy and the defect mobility at some TJs is slower than their constituent GBs. Hence, our results have general implications on the diffusional process in NC materials and provide new insight into stabilizing NC materials with tailored TJs.

Diffusionless transformation of soft cubic superstructure from amorphous to simple cubic and body-centered cubic phases.

Project description:In a narrow temperature window in going from the isotropic to highly chiral orders, cholesteric liquid crystals exhibit so-called blue phases, consisting of different morphologies of long, space-filling double twisted cylinders. Those of cubic spatial symmetry have attracted considerable attention in recent years as templates for soft photonic materials. The latter often requires the creation of monodomains of predefined orientation and size, but their engineering is complicated by a lack of comprehensive understanding of how blue phases nucleate and transform into each other at a submicrometer length scale. In this work, we accomplish this by intercepting nucleation processes at intermediate stages with fast cross-linking of a stabilizing polymer matrix. We reveal using transmission electron microscopy, synchrotron small-angle X-ray diffraction, and angle-resolved microspectroscopy that the grid of double-twisted cylinders undergoes highly coordinated, diffusionless transformations. In light of our findings, the implementation of several applications is discussed, such as temperature-switchable QR codes, micro-area lasing, and fabrication of blue phase liquid crystals with large domain sizes.

Deformation twinning and grain partitioning in a hexagonal close-packed magnesium alloy.

Project description:Pervasive deformation twinning in magnesium greatly affects its strength and formability. The local stress fields associated with twinning play a key role on deformation behavior and fracture but are extremely difficult to characterize experimentally. In this study, we perform synchrotron experiments with differential-aperture X-ray microscopy to measure the 3D stress fields in the vicinity of a twin with a spatial resolution of 0.5 micrometer. The measured local stress field aids to identify the sequence of events involved with twinning. We find that the selected grain deforms elastically before twinning, and the twin formation splits the grain into two non-interacting domains. Under further straining one domain of the grain continued to deform elastically, whereas the other domain deforms plastically by prismatic slip. This heterogeneous deformation behavior may be mediated by the surrounding medium and it is likely to lead to asymmetric twin growth.

Direct observation of dual-step twinning nucleation in hexagonal close-packed crystals.

Project description:Design and processing of advanced lightweight structural alloys based on magnesium and titanium rely critically on a control over twinning that remains elusive to date and is dependent on an explicit understanding on the twinning nucleation mechanism in hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystals. Here, by using in-situ high resolution transmission electron microscopy, we directly show a dual-step twinning nucleation mechanism in HCP rhenium nanocrystals. We find that nucleation of the predominant {1 0 -1 2} twinning is initiated by disconnections on the Prismatic?Basal interfaces which establish the lattice correspondence of the twin with a minor deviation from the ideal orientation. Subsequently, the minor deviation is corrected by the formation of coherent twin boundaries through rearrangement of the disconnections on the Prismatic?Basal interface; thereafter, the coherent twin boundaries propagate by twinning dislocations. The findings provide high-resolution direct evidence of the twinning nucleation mechanism in HCP crystals.

New twinning route in face-centered cubic nanocrystalline metals.

Project description:Twin nucleation in a face-centered cubic crystal is believed to be accomplished through the formation of twinning partial dislocations on consecutive atomic planes. Twinning should thus be highly unfavorable in face-centered cubic metals with high twin-fault energy barriers, such as Al, Ni, and Pt, but instead is often observed. Here, we report an in situ atomic-scale observation of twin nucleation in nanocrystalline Pt. Unlike the classical twinning route, deformation twinning initiated through the formation of two stacking faults separated by a single atomic layer, and proceeded with the emission of a partial dislocation in between these two stacking faults. Through this route, a three-layer twin was nucleated without a mandatory layer-by-layer twinning process. This route is facilitated by grain boundaries, abundant in nanocrystalline metals, that promote the nucleation of separated but closely spaced partial dislocations, thus enabling an effective bypassing of the high twin-fault energy barrier.

Grain neighbour effects on twin transmission in hexagonal close-packed materials.

Project description:Materials with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal structure such as Mg, Ti and Zr are being used in the transportation, aerospace and nuclear industry, respectively. Material strength and formability are critical qualities for shaping these materials into parts and a pervasive deformation mechanism that significantly affects their formability is deformation twinning. The interaction between grain boundaries and twins has an important influence on the deformation behaviour and fracture of hcp metals. Here, statistical analysis of large data sets reveals that whether twins transmit across grain boundaries depends not only on crystallography but also strongly on the anisotropy in crystallographic slip. We show that increases in crystal plastic anisotropy enhance the probability of twin transmission by comparing the relative ease of twin transmission in hcp materials such as Mg, Zr and Ti.

Strengthening face centered cubic crystals by annealing induced nano-twins.

Project description:Usually, cold working strengthen metals and alloys by introducing large population of dislocations, whereas annealing of cold worked metal recovers the structure, annihilates dislocations, forms new strain-free grains, and results loss of strength. Here, we report annealing-hardening at temperature well below stress relieving and recrystallization temperatures in contrast to the typical behavior. A large amount of structural defects, such as dislocations, grain boundaries, twins, and stacking faults, have been introduced in nanostructured α-brass by cryorolling. The interaction and rearrangement of these defects upon annealing at 165-200 °C have been monitored at an interval of 1 minute. Large increase of the yield strength up to 578 MPa has been achieved in annealed specimens, which is 23% higher than that of as-cryorolled, and 425% higher than that of as-cast brass due to the evolution of nano-twins. Our approach shows a new avenue on strengthening fcc crystals by incorporating annealing induced nano-twins.

Self-Assembly of Pluronic F127-Silica Spherical Core-Shell Nanoparticles in Cubic Close-Packed Structures.

Project description:A new ordered mesoporous silica material (COK-19) with cubic symmetry is synthesized by silicate polycondensation in a citric acid/citrate buffered micellar solution of Pluronic F127 triblock copolymer near neutral pH. SAXS, nitrogen adsorption, TEM, and electron tomography reveal the final material has a cubic close packed symmetry (Fm3̅m) with isolated spherical mesopores interconnected through micropores. Heating of the synthesis medium from room temperature to 70 °C results in a mesopore size increase from 7.0 to 11.2 nm. Stepwise addition of the silicate source allows isolation of a sequence of intermediates that upon characterization with small-angle X-ray scattering uncovers the formation process via formation and aggregation of individual silica-covered Pluronic micelles.
