چکیده

Z-contrast imaging, electron diffraction, atom-probe tomography (APT) and density functional theory calculations were used to study the crystal structure of the Mo3Si phase which was previously reported to have an A15 crystal structure. The results showed that Mo3Si has an incommensurate crystal structure with a non-cubic unit cell. The small off-stoichiometry in composition of the sample which was revealed by APT and atomic resolution Z-contrast imaging suggested that site substitution caused the development of split atomic positions, disorder and vacancies.

Early Stage of Oxidation of Mo3Si by In Situ Environmental Transmission Electron Microscopy

Mo-Si-based superalloys are of interest as a new family of high-temperature materials to replace Ni-based alloys. By means of in situ environmental transmission electron microscope, the transient period of the early oxidation of Mo3Si was investigated at the nanometer scale. As a result of a competition between loss of volatile MoO3 and association of SiO2 molecular units into pillars, a nanome...

Superglide at an internal incommensurate boundary.

The intriguing possibility of frictionless gliding of one solid surface on another has been predicted for certain incommensurate interfaces in crystals, based on Aubry's solution to the Frenkel-Kontorova model of a harmonic chain in a periodic potential field. Here we test this prediction for grain boundaries by comparing atomistic simulations with direct experimental observations on the struct...

Magnetic incommensurability in a doped Mott insulator

In this paper we explore the incommensurate spatial modulation of spin-spin correlations as the intrinsic property of the doped Mott insulator, described by the t-J model. We show that such an incommensurability is a direct manifestation of the phase-string effect introduced by doped holes in both oneand two-dimensional cases. The magnetic incommensurate peaks of dynamic spin susceptibility in ...
