Glass transition by gelation in a phase separating binary alloy.
We use molecular dynamics simulations to show that glass transition in a model phase separating amorphous alloy, Cu(50)Nb(50), occurs by gelation. At the glass transition, a mechanically stiff, percolating network of atoms with icosahedral local packing forms at the interfaces between compositionally enriched regions. This low-energy network halts coarsening of the phase-separated structure and...
متن کاملStrain glass transition in a multifunctional β-type Ti alloy
Recently, a class of multifunctional Ti alloys called GUM metals attracts tremendous attentions for their superior mechanical behaviors (high strength, high ductility and superelasticity) and novel physical properties (Invar effect, Elinvar effect and low modulus). The Invar and Elinvar effects are known to originate from structural or magnetic transitions, but none of these transitions were fo...
متن کاملGlass Transition Temperatures In Binary Polymer Blends
Knowledge of the glass transition temperatures (Tgs) as function of composition reflects miscibility (or lack of it) and is decisive for virtually all properties of polymer-based materials. In this article, we analyze single blend-average and effective Tgs of miscible polymer blends in full concentration ranges. Shortcomings of the extant equations are discussed to support the need for an alter...
متن کاملLiquid-to-glass transition in bulk glass-forming Cu60Ti20Zr20 alloy by molecular dynamics simulations.
We report results from molecular dynamics studies concerning the microscopic structure and dynamics of the ternary, bulk metallic glass-forming Cu60Ti20Zr20 alloy. In detail we consider the partial radial distribution functions, nearest-neighbor numbers, specific heat, simulated glass temperature, diffusion coefficients, and incoherent intermediate scattering function (ISF). The applied atomic ...
متن کاملGelation of Fmoc-diphenylalanine is a first order phase transition.
We explore the gel transition of the aromatic dipeptide derivative molecule fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF). The addition of water to a solution of Fmoc-FF in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) results in increased attractions leading to self-assembly of Fmoc-FF molecules into a space-filling fibrous network. We provide evidence that gel formation is associated with a first order phas...
