Solid-Solid Phase Transformation Kinetics

چکیده
Natural formation of the bcc modification for Co was demonstrated to occur upon precipitation of Co in supersaturated Au90Co10 alloy. The microstructural evolution was investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Co precipitation starts with the formation of very thin coherent plates along {100}Au. This initially precipitated Co was shown to be a hitherto unknown metastable bcc modification of Co exhibiting a Bain-type orientation relationship with the matrix: (100)Au,fcc//(100)Co,bcc and [001]Au,fcc//[011]Co,bcc (three variants). Prolonged annealing causes the bcc Co to transform according to a Bain-type transformation into fcc Co, exhibiting the (cube-on-cube) orientation relationship (100)Au,fcc//(100)Co,fcc and [001]Au,fcc//[001]Co,fcc (three variants), in association with loss of coherency and a morphological change from Co platelets to equiaxed Co particles. A delicate balance of interface energy and bulk energy upon precipitation and subsequent growth/coarsening governs the successive appearance of the bcc and fcc modifications of Co.

Kinetics and morphological instabilities of stressed solid-solid phase transformations.
An atomistic model of the growth kinetics of stressed solid-solid phase transformations is presented. Solid phase epitaxial growth of (001) Si was used for comparison of new and prior models with experiments. The results indicate that the migration of crystal island ledges in the growth interface may involve coordinated atomic motion. The model accounts for morphological instabilities during st...
متن کاملSolid-solid phase transformation via internal stress-induced virtual melting, significantly below the melting temperature. Application to HMX energetic crystal.
We theoretically predict a new phenomenon, namely, that a solid-solid phase transformation (PT) with a large transformation strain can occur via internal stress-induced virtual melting along the interface at temperatures significantly (more than 100 K) below the melting temperature. We show that the energy of elastic stresses, induced by transformation strain, increases the driving force for me...
متن کاملStressed solid-phase epitaxial growth of (011) Si
The solid-phase epitaxial growth kinetics of amorphized (011) Si with application of in-plane 2 11 1⁄2 uniaxial stress to magnitude of 0.9 0.1 GPa were studied. Tensile stresses did not appreciably change the growth velocity compared with the stress-free case, whereas compression tended to retard the growth velocity to approximately one-half the stress-free value. The results are explained usin...

A new phenomenon is theoretically predicted, namely, that solid-solid transformation with a relatively large transformation strain can occur through virtual melting along the interface at temperatures significantly (more than 100 K) below the melting temperature. The energy of elastic stresses, induced by transformation strain, increases the driving force for melting and reduces the melting tem...
متن کاملAnisotropic kinetics of solid phase transition from first principles: alpha-omega phase transformation of Zr.
Structural inhomogeneity is ubiquitous in solid crystals and plays critical roles in phase nucleation and propagation. Here, we develop a heterogeneous solid-solid phase transition theory for predicting the prevailing heterophase junctions, the metastable states governing microstructure evolution in solids. Using this theory and first-principles pathway sampling simulation, we determine two typ...
