Phase Transformation in Quartz at Elevated Temperatures

Phase transformation of single crystal h-tungsten nanorods at elevated temperatures

We report the phase transformation of single crystal h-phase W(100) nanorods that occurs at an elevated temperature of ̈950 -C. The hW nanorods oriented perpendicular to the flat silicon substrate were grown by an oblique angle sputter deposition technique with substrate rotation. The nanorods typically have an average length of ̈450 nm and an average width of ̈75 nm. The phase transformation w...

THE DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR OF AZ31 MAGNESIUM ALLOY AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES

AZ31 magnesium alloy is considered as a promising alloy in various applications and industries. Furthermore, to design a proper hot working process (rolling, forging and extrusion), the assessment of hot working behaviour of the alloy is necessary. Accordingly, the hot deformation behaviour of AZ31 alloy was studied through hot compression testing method This was carried out in a wide range of ...

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering at elevated temperatures.

The effect on surface-enhanced Raman scattering due to the increase in temperature of the metallic substrate is studied via a simple model for physisorbed molecules. Surface roughness is represented by a spherical or spheroidal island, and the temperature effects on the surface plasmon are accounted for via a slightly modified Ujihara model. It is found that the enhancement ratio in general dec...
