Diffusion of Mass in Liquid Metals and Alloys - Recent Experimental Developments and New Perspectives

Despite its tremendous importance for the understanding of underlying mechanisms and for the input in modeling and simulation of processes alike, accurate experimental diffusion data in liquid metals and alloys are rare. Common techniques exhibit several drawbacks that in most cases prevent an accurate measurement of diffusion coefficients convective contributions during diffusion annealing are...

Photoinduced time-resolved electrodynamics of superconducting metals and alloys

The photoexcited state in superconducting metals and alloys was studied via pump-probe spectroscopy. A pulsed Ti:sapphire laser was used to create the nonequilibrium state and the far-infrared pulses of a synchrotron storage ring, to which the laser is synchronized, measured the changes in the material optical properties. Both the timeand frequency-dependent photoinduced spectra of Pb, Nb, NbN,...

Electrodeposition of Metals and Alloys

Tremendous potential exists for the growth of metal finishing industry in this century through the development of processes that are either environmentally friendly or are applicable at the nano scale. In the CEE the theoretical and experimental studies are performed to achieve such coatings. Nanostructured alloys and innovative composite materials were developed through adaptation of existing ...

Corrosion of Metals and Alloys

Although all metals are subjected to the general oxidation reaction (I), the tendencies to ionize differ from metal to metal. When two metals are exposed to an aquenous environment and release electrons according to reaction (I) , an electric potential is induced the standard value of which can be measured when the metals are in 1-molar solutions of their own salts at a predetermined temperatur...
