Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pressure on the crystal structure and the molar volume of iron alloyed with 5 and 10% nickel was determined up to 300 kb at room temperature by means of X-ray diffraction techniques employing a diamond-anvil high pressure cell.
Abstract: The effect of pressure on the crystal structure and the molar volume of iron alloyed with 5 and 10% nickel was determined up to 300 kb at room temperature by means of X-ray diffraction techniques employing a diamond-anvil high-pressure cell. The alloys undergo a reversible bcc-hcp phase transformation, which is accompanied by a volume change of −0.36 ± 0.02 cm3/mole. The crystallographic axis ratio, c/a, of the hcp phase appears to increase with nickel content, whereas it appears to be unaffected by pressure. The bulk moduli calculated from the volume data for the bcc and hcp phases of the alloys do not differ significantly from those for the respective phases of iron. The bulk modulus value for the hcp phase evaluated at zero pressure has been calculated to be 2.06 ± 0.15 Mb and is about 20% greater than that for the bcc phase. The volume of the hcp phase at zero pressure has been calculated from the pressure-volume data by extrapolation. A value of 6.67 ± 0.02 cm3/mole has been obtained for iron and the alloys. The pressure-volume relationship obtained by this work is consistent with the results obtained by R. G. McQueen and S. P. Marsh (1960, 1966) using shock compression techniques.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the nondiagonal components of the dielectric permeability tensor of iron, cobalt, and nickel is calculated in the region 0.2-6.0 eV from experimental curves of the equatorial Kerr effect.
Abstract: The frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the nondiagonal components of the dielectric permeability tensor of iron, cobalt, and nickel is calculated in the region 0.2–6.0 eV from experimental curves of the equatorial Kerr effect. The curves obtained can be reconciled with results from photoemission by assuming that the curve of positive values of e2′ corresponding to transitions in the 3d ↓ subband is pushed down by the curve e2′ with the opposite sign corresponding to transitions in the 3d ↑ subband.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the chemisorption of hydrogen sulfide on some nickel catalysts in the temperature range 550-645 °C and showed that a saturation layer was formed at ratios above 5 × 10−6, approximately, and at ratios at 10−3 bulk sulfide (Ni2S3) was formed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, stacking-fault energy measurements on nickel-cobalt alloys, obtained by three different methods, have been compared and the combined results from the node and empirical texture methods differ from those obtained by the tetrahedron method, which are consistently lower though showing the same form of variation with composition.
Abstract: Stacking-fault energy measurements on nickel-cobalt alloys, obtained by three different methods, have been compared. The combined results from the node and empirical texture methods differ from those obtained by the tetrahedron method, which are consistently lower though showing the same form of variation with composition. The discrepancy is critically discussed and a probable value of 240 ± 50 ergs/cm2 obtained for the stacking-fault energy of nickel.

TL;DR: Lattice spacings have been determined at room temperature for the cubic (C15) Laves phases formed by rare-earth metals with iron, and with nickel, together with the variation of lattice spacing with temperature for GdCo 2.
Abstract: Lattice spacings have been determined at room temperature for the cubic (C15) Laves phases formed by rare-earth metals with iron, and with nickel, together with the variation of lattice spacing with temperature for GdCo 2 The results are briefly discussed and compared with previous work on GdCo 2 The results suggest that in GdFe 2 and GdNi 2 the gadolinium atoms have an abnormally small apparent atomic diameter, whereas in GdCo 2 , the apparent atomic diameter of gadolinium corresponds with that of the pure metal In CeFe 2 , CeCo 2 , and CeNi 2 the apparent atomic diameters of cerium are consistent with the complete or partial transfer of the 4 f electrons of cerium to the conduction band The elements samarium, neodymium and praseodymium appear to adopt expanded atomic diameters in the RENi 2 phases similar to those observed in the corresponding REAl 2 and REPt 2 phases

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The room-temperature strengths of interfaces formed by melting aluminium, cobalt, gold, iron, nickel, palladium, silver, and uranium in contact with alumina have been measured as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The room-temperature strengths of interfaces formed by melting aluminium, cobalt, gold, iron, nickel, palladium, silver, and uranium in contact with alumina have been measured. Correlations were sought between the strengths and the physical properties of the systems. Metals which formed void-free interfaces and were not subject to martensitic transformations bonded well to alumina. Metals subject to martensitic transformations (cobalt and uranium) were virtually non-adherent at room temperature.

TL;DR: The radial distribution function for an electrodeposited amorphous nickel-phosphorus (149 wt% P) alloy has been determined in this article, and the atomic distribution was found to be similar to that in a liquid metal.
Abstract: The radial distribution function for an electrodeposited amorphous nickel‐phosphorus (149 wt% P) alloy has been determined The atomic distribution was found to be similar to that in a liquid metal, and more disordered than that observed in an amorphous nickel‐phosphorus alloy produced by chemical deposition Two transformations (both exothermic) were observed in this alloy; the first of which occurred at 280°±2°C with an energy of 185 cal/g (960 cal/g atom) and the second at 410°±5°C with an energy of 60 cal/g (310 cal/g atom) As deposited, the alloy exhibits only a very weak small‐angle x‐ray scattering, apparently not due to the presence of the phosphorus

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical resistivity has been measured over the temperature range 1 °K to 120 °K in dilute alloys of nickel with Pd, Cu, Co, Fe, Mn, Cr, V and Ti.
Abstract: The electrical resistivity has been measured over the temperature range 1 °K to 120 °K in dilute alloys of nickel with Pd, Cu, Co, Fe, Mn, Cr, V and Ti. The impurity (residual) resistivity is very small for alloys of nickel with its near neighbours in the periodic table, Pd, Cu, Co, Fe and Mn, but is an order of magnitude greater for alloys containing Cr, V and Ti. The ice-point values of the deviations from Matthiessen's rule are unusually large in the Ni-Co, Ni-Fe, Ni-Mn, and Ni-Cr alloys, somewhat smaller in the Ni-Cu, Ni-V and Ni-Ti alloys, and negligible in Ni-Pd. These results are interpreted on the assumption that the departures from Matthiessen's rule arise because of spin mixing between electrons in the spin downward arrow and spin upward arrow bands. On this basis it has proved possible to separate the two components of impurity resistivity for the two spin directions. The values obtained correlate well with the known band structure and impurity states of nickel and its alloys. In addition, the temperature dependence of the deviations in all the measured alloys can be explained on the basis of spin mixing, with the only adjustable parameter being capital Lambda, Greek(upward arrowdownward arrow), the mean free path between spin flips.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that hydrogen can lower the stacking-fault energy of nickel from 240 to 155ergs, but has no effect on the critical resolved shear stress at any temperature.
Abstract: Shear stress/shear strain curves for nickel single crystals containing 9 ppm hydrogen (0.045 at.-%) have been compared with those of hydrogen-free crystals over the range −196 to 100°C. The presence of hydrogen causes serrated yielding of the nickel and an increase in the shear stress τIII between − 125 and 0° C, but has no effect on the critical resolved shear stress (C.R.S.S.) at any temperature. These observations are explained in terms of the interaction between dislocations and dissolved hydrogen which is able to diffuse during deformation. It is suggested that hydrogen can lower the stacking-fault energy of nickel from 240 to 155ergs.cm−2.
