Ion mass dependence of irradiation-induced local creation of ferromagnetism in Fe 60 Al 40 alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase transformation from the paramagnetic, chemically ordered B2 phase to the ferromagnetic chemically disordered A2 phase was studied and shown to be a purely ballistic process.

Microstructural evolution during decomposition and crystallization of the Cu60Zr20Ti20 amorphous alloy

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of continuous heating and isothermal heat treatments on ductile Cu60Zr20Ti20 amorphous ribbons was monitored by differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, synchrotron radiation transmission, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Characterisation and Development of Nanostructured, Ultrahigh Strength, and Ductile Bainitic Steels

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel nanostructured type of bainitic steel was developed and three chemical compositions were considered with different concentrations of Al and Co. In this context, data on bainite-containing steels in the literature are rather limited.

Reversible hydriding and dehydriding properties of CaSi: Potential of metal silicides for hydrogen storage

Abstract: We found that CaSi reversibly absorbs and desorbs hydrogen. First-principles calculations theoretically indicated that CaSi hydride is thermodynamically stable. The hydriding and dehydriding properties of CaSi were experimentally determined using pressure-composition (p‐c) isotherms and x-ray diffraction analysis. The p‐c isotherms clearly demonstrated plateau pressures in a temperature range of 473–573K. The maximum hydrogen content was 1.9wt% under a hydrogen pressure of 9MPa at 473K. The reversible hydriding and dehydriding properties of CaSi suggest the potential of metal silicides for hydrogen storage.
