Recrystallization Temperatures of Dilute Copper Alloys

Recrystallization Behavior of Commercial Purity Aluminium Alloys

Transport properties of dilute alloys

The review introduces the reader to a theoretical method describing the transport properties of dilute alloys on an ab initio basis. The calculations start from density or spin density functional theory using a Green function formalism to investigate the underlying electronic structure of the ideal and perturbed system on equal footing. The residual resistivity is calculated solving the quasicl...

Deformation and Recrystallization Behaviors in Magnesium Alloys

Electronic Structure of Dilute Bismide Alloys

The dilute bismide semiconductor GaAs1-xBix represents an interesting counterpart of the dilute nitride alloy GaAs1-xNx. Both exhibit giant bandgap bowing phenomena but with oppositely directed effects on the valence and conduction bands respectively. The optical properties of the dilute bismide alloy will be contrasted with those of the dilute nitride and the similarities and distinctions betw...

Effect of hydrogen-sulfide on the hydrogen permeance of palladium–copper alloys at elevated temperatures

The hydrogen permeance of several 0.1 mm thick Pd–Cu alloy foils (80 wt.% Pd–20 wt.% Cu, 60 wt.% Pd–40 wt.% Cu and 53 wt.% Pd–47 wt.% Cu) was evaluated using transient flux measurements at temperatures ranging from 603 to 1123 K and pressures up to 620 kPa both in the presence and absence of 1000 ppm H2S. Sulfur resistance, as evidenced by no significant change in permeance, was correlated with...
