Abstract Decades of research has been focused on improving the high-temperature properties nickel-based superalloys, an essential class materials used in hot section jet turbine engines, allowing increased engine efficiency and reduced CO 2 emissions. Here we introduce a new ‘phase-transformation strengthening’ mechanism that resists creep deformation where specific alloying elements inhibit deleterious mode nanotwinning at temperatures above 700 °C. Ultra-high-resolution structure...

Fatigue crack initiation in titanium alloys is typically accompanied by the formation of planar, faceted features on fracture surface. In present study, quantitative tilt fractography, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and focused ion beam (FIB) have been used to provide a direct link between facet topography underlying microstructure, including crystallographic orientation. contrast previous studies, which mainly α-phase crystal orientation spatial facets, analysis concentrates that...

The crystal structure of Sb2Se3 gives rise to unique properties that cannot otherwise be achieved with conventional thin-film photovoltaic materials, such as CdTe or Cu(In,Ga)Se2. It has previously been proposed grain boundaries can made benign provided only the weak van der Waals forces between (Sb4Se6)n ribbons are disrupted. Here, it is shown non-radiative recombination suppressed even for cutting across ribbons. This due a remarkable self-healing process, whereby atoms at boundary relax...

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) have the ability to produce elemental maps of a specimen at atomic resolution. In this paper we present EELS EDX for oxygen K shell $\ensuremath{\langle}001\ensuremath{\rangle}$ strontium titanate. The results initially seem be anomalous since substantially more signal is obtained when STEM probe above columns containing both titanium than it those only...

Nanoscale composite precipitates of Alloy 718 have been investigated with both high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and phase field modeling. Chemical analysis via energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy allowed for the differentiation γ′ γ″ particles, which is not otherwise possible through traditional Z-contrast methods. Phase modeling was applied to determine stress distribution elastic interaction around between respectively, it determined that a particle (of γ″) has an...

Mechanical properties of α/β Ti alloys are closely related to their microstructure. The complexity the microstructural features involved makes it rather difficult develop models for predicting these alloys. Advances in stereology and microscopy permit rapid characterization various including Widmanstätten α-laths, grain sizes, shapes, colony structures volume fractions different phases. This research documents procedures characterizing alloys, use three-dimensional serial sectioning...

We demonstrate that few layer graphene (FLG), formed by high-shear exfoliation into an aqueous suspension, can be successfully employed as 'active' conductive additive in flexible activated carbon-based electric double capacitor (supercapacitor) electrodes if introduced a novel 'vacuum infiltration' technique. The effectiveness of the FLG optimised tailoring its size distribution and loading. It is found best performance achieved using with broadest and, moreover, larger effective over range...
