TL;DR: In this paper, the solidification microstructures of three nine-element Zr-Ni-based AB2 type C14/C15 Laves hydrogen storage alloys are determined.
Abstract: The solidification microstructures of three nine-element Zr-Ni–based AB2 type C14/C15 Laves hydrogen storage alloys are determined. The selected compositions represent a class of alloys being examined for usage as an MH electrode in nickel metal-hydride batteries that often have their best properties in the cast state. Solidification is accomplished by dendritic growth of hexagonal C14 Laves phase, peritectic solidification of cubic C15 Laves phase, and formation of cubic B2 phase in the interdendritic regions. The B2 phase decomposes in the solid state into a complex multivariate platelike structure containing Zr-Ni–rich intermetallics. The observed sequence C14/C15 upon solidification agrees with predictions using effective compositions and thermodynamic assessments of the ternary systems, Ni-Cr-Zr and Cr-Ti-Zr. Experimentally, the closeness of the compositions of the C14 and C15 phases required the use of compositional mapping with an energy dispersive detector capable of processing a very high X-ray flux to locate regions in the microstructure for quantitative composition measurement and transmission electron microscope examination.

29 Apr 1994TL;DR: In this paper, an improved chemical vapor deposition method for the high-rate low-temperature deposition of high-quality thin film material was proposed. But the method is not suitable for high temperature applications.
Abstract: An improved chemical vapor deposition method for the high-rate low-temperature deposition of high-quality thin film material. The method includes the steps of providing an evacuated chamber having a plasma deposition region defined therein; placing a substrate inside the chamber; supplying plasma deposition precursor gases to the deposition region in the evacuated chamber; directing microwave energy from a source thereof to the deposition region, the microwave energy interacting with the deposition precursor gases to form a plasma of electrons, ions and activated electrically neutral species, the plasma including one or more depositing species; increasing the surface mobility of the depositing species in the plasma by coupling additional non-microwave electronic energy and magnetic energy into the plasma, without intentionally adding thermal energy to the substrate or precursor gas; and depositing a thin film of material onto the substrate.

04 Feb 2004TL;DR: Multi-terminal electronic switching devices comprising a chalcogenide material switchable between a resistive state and a conductive state as discussed by the authors are used as interconnection devices or signal providing devices in circuits and networks.
Abstract: Multi-terminal electronic switching devices comprising a chalcogenide material switchable between a resistive state and a conductive state. The devices include a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal. Application of a control signal to the control terminal modulates the conductivity of the chalcogenide material between the first and second terminals and/or the threshold voltage required to switch the chalcogenide material between the first and second terminals from a resistive state to a conductive state. The devices may be used as interconnection devices or signal providing devices in circuits and networks.
