Stacking-Fault Based Microscopic Model for Platelets in Diamond

Stacking-fault based microscopic model for platelets in diamond.

We propose a new model for {001} platelets in diamond based on the formation of a metastable stacking-fault. The core of the defect is a double layer of threefold coordinated sp2 carbon atoms embedded in the sp3 diamond matrix. The properties of the model were determined using ab initio calculations. All significant experimental signatures attributed to the platelets are fully accounted for. Th...

A Thermodynamic Model for the Stacking- Fault Energy

ÐA general thermodynamic model for calculating the energy of stacking faults is presented and applied to f.c.c. Fe±Cr±Ni alloys. A distinction is made between ideal stacking faults and real stacking faults which are associated with an ideal stacking-fault energy (SFE) and an e€ective SFE, respectively. The ideal SFE is characterized by a chemical energy volume term and an interphase surface ene...

Observation of Stacking Fault Tetrahedral in TWIP Steel

Low stacking fault energy face centered cubic (FCC) materials contain characteristic defect structures. Stacking fault tetrahedral are one of those rare structures that occur under special experimental conditions. For the first time, stacking fault tetrahedral were observed in Fe-30Mn-3Al-3Si twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel. Their presence resulted from a quenching heat treatment.

Heuristic-based Model for Container Stacking Problem

The paper presents a container stacking model that simulates, solves and optimizes the container stacking activity within a fluvial or maritime port. This activity constitutes a real world problem that is omnipresent in logistic and transportation domain. Given container arrivals in a container port terminal, the objective is to assign a slot to each one in a storage area at least cost with res...
