Magnesium - rich Intermetallics RE

The magnesium-rich intermetallic phases RE3RuMg7 (RE = Y, Nd, Dy, Ho) have been synthesized from the elements in sealed niobium ampoules and subsequently characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The structure of the dysprosium compound was refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: Ti6Sn5 type, P63/mmc, a = 1019.1(2), c = 606.76(9) pm, wR2 = 0.0159, 439 F2 values, 19 va...

Magnetic properties of Gd intermetallics

Using first-principles calculations, based on disordered local moment theory, combined with the selfinteraction corrected local spin density approximation, we study magnetic interactions in GdX intermetallics for X = Cu, Zn, Ga, Cd, and Mg. Our predicted magnetic orders and ordering temperatures both at zero and other pressures agree well with experiments including the large increase in the Cur...

Intermetallics in Solder Joints

Introduction Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) are generally considered a bad thing in solder joints, though this is not always the case. Excessive IMCs in solder joints are a bad thing since they significantly alter both the composition and the mechanical performance of the solder joint. Interfacial IMC layers can be an indication of the quality of the solder joint and the lack of them would indi...

Dislocation mechanisms of creep in Ni3Al

The compressive creep deforrn;~tiort microstructure of polycrystalline Ni3AI h:is been observed by transnlission electron microscopy (TEM). ( 1 1 I ) rind ( 110) slip systems have been identified in primary creep. Dissociatiort of edge superparti:~l pairs perpendicular to the slip plane (both { 11 1 ) and ( 110) ) is common in crept specimens. I'he formation of this superdislocation...
