Mechanical and optical properties and structural characteristics are described for Si: N films with Al and O additions ( S ^ A l ^ O ^ N ^ ) deposited by reactive RF diode sputtering on Si and SiO2 substrates. The thermal and intrinsic stress components, elastic stiffness, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and refractive index were measured for films ranging in thickness from ~2 /v,m to 5...

Cancrinite, sodalite, and zeolite A have been found to form upon contacting hyperalkaline simulated tank waste (STW) with vadose zone sediments from the Hanford Reservation. Here, soluble silica and STW are used to study mineral formation and transformation. Two Hanford sediment fractions (diameters <50 and >50 lm instead of soluble silica) are also used as silica sources for comparison. A seri...

Owing to the combined advantages of Al-Si alloy and Al2O3, Al-Si@Al2O3 is widely utilized as a heat storage material, catalyst carrier, water adsorption host. Hence, preparation corresponding precursors utmost significance. Herein, an Al-Si@Al(OH)3 precursor investigated, Al(OH)3 nanosheets are in situ formed on surface Al1-xSix, where x = 0,10, 0,20, 0,30 presence water. The influence Si conte...

In this paper atom probe tomography is used to explore early stage clustering in aluminum alloys. Two novel concepts for a modi cation of clustering are discussed. Control of early stage clustering is welcome from an application point of view since clustering deteriorates strength evolution during the industrial heat treatment of the important class of Al Mg Si precipitation-hardenable alloys. ...

Replacing biosilicon and biocarbon in soil via biochar amendment is a novel approach for soil amelioration and pollution remediation. The unique roles of silicon (Si)-rich biochar in aluminum (Al) phytotoxicity alleviation have not been discovered. In this study, the alleviation of Al phytotoxicity to wheat plants (root tips cell death) by biochars fabricated from rice straw pyrolyzed at 400 an...
