Properties- and applications of quasicrystals and complex metallic alloys.
This article aims at an account of what is known about the potential for applications of quasicrystals and related compounds, the so-called family of Complex Metallic Alloys (CMAs‡). Attention is focused at aluminium-based CMAs, which comprise a large number of crystalline compounds and quasicrystals made of aluminium alloyed with transition metals (like Fe or Cu) or normal metals like Mg. Depe...
متن کاملMetadislocations in Complex Metallic Alloys
Complex Metallic Alloys (CMAs) represent a large group of crystalline intermetallics comprising some hundreds of known phases in various alloy systems. They are characterized by the presence of icosahedral atom coordination, large lattice constants, and a correspondingly large number of atoms per unit cell, typically ranging between a few tens and some thousand [1]. In recent years, CMAs have a...
متن کاملHalf-metallic alloys: electronic structure, magnetism and spin polarization.
Using the state-of-the-art screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function method we study the electronic and magnetic properties of NiMnSb and similar Heusler alloys. We show that all these compounds are half-metals, e.g. the minority-spin band is semiconducting and the Fermi level falls within this gap resulting in 100% spin polarization at the Fermi level. The total spin moment M(t) shows the...
متن کاملFriction and solid-solid adhesion on complex metallic alloys
The discovery in 1987 of stable quasicrystals in the Al-Cu-Fe system was soon exploited to patent specific coatings that showed reduced friction in ambient air against hard antagonists. Henceforth, it was possible to develop a number of applications, potential or commercially exploited to date, that will be alluded to in this topical review. A deeper understanding of the characteristics of comp...
متن کاملElectronic and thermoelectric transport in semiconductor and metallic superlattices
A detailed theory of nonisothermal electron transport perpendicular to multilayer superlattice structures is presented. The current–voltage (I – V) characteristics and the cooling power density are calculated using Fermi–Dirac statistics, density-of-states for a finite quantum well and the quantum mechanical reflection coefficient. The resulting equations are valid in a wide range of temperatur...
