Improving solvent-based self-healing materials through shape memory alloys

Healing of epoxy resins can be accomplished using a combination of embedded ethyl phenylacetate (EPA) solvent loaded capsules and shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. Upon crack formation, the EPA solvent diffuses in the resin and induces swelling which tends t ...

Observation of a two-dimensional electron gas at the surface of annealed SrTiO3 single crystals by scanning tunneling spectroscopy

Zoran Ristic

An extensive surface characterization of hydrofluoric acid (HF) etched and annealed SrTiO3 single crystals, vacuum-annealed below 300 degrees C, reveals the formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). A joint scanning tunneling spectroscopy and low ...

Persistence of singlet fluctuations in the coupled spin tetrahedra system Cu2Te2O5Br2 revealed by high-field magnetization, Br-79 NQR, and Te-125 NMR

Helmuth Berger

We present high-field magnetization and Br-79 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and Te-125 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies in the weakly coupled Cu2+ (S = 1/2) tetrahedral system Cu2Te2O5Br2. The field-induced level crossing effects were observed ...

Mechanical and electrochemical deterioration mechanisms in the tribocorrosion of Al alloys in NaCl and in NaNO3 solutions

Stefano Mischler

Tribocorrosion of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloys was investigated in 0.05 M NaCl and 0.1 M NaNO3 solutions under severe sliding and controlled electrochemical conditions. A simple galvanic coupling model was developed to analyze and quantitatively predict the evolutio ...

Electronic structure of Zn, Cu and Ni impurities in germanium

Alexandra Sarabando de Carvalho

We present a density functional modelling study of Zn, Cu and Ni impurities in hydrogen-terminated germanium clusters. Their electronic structure is investigated in detail, especially their Jahn-Teller instabilities and electrical levels. Interstitial and ...

Effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient for solidifying aluminium alloys

Michel Rappaz, Ludger Weber, Milan Felberbaum

An effective hydrogen diffusion coefficient has been calculated for two solidifying Al - 4.5 wt.% Cu and Al - 10 wt.% Cu alloys as a function of the volume fraction of solid. For this purpose, in situ X-ray tomography was performed on these alloys. For eac ...

Laminated Metal Composites by Infiltration

Andreas Mortensen, Andreas Rossoll, Jérôme Krebs, Arda Cetin, Alexandre Durussel

We show that steel-magnesium alloy laminated metal composites (LMCs) can be produced by gas pressure infiltration of a liquid magnesium alloy between layers of stacked dimpled steel sheets. Resulting LMCs are amenable to subsequent warm rolling. The LMCs a ...

Microstructure Formation in Sn-Cu-Ni Solder Alloys

Michel Rappaz, Milan Felberbaum, Tina Ventura

A systematic study of the solidification mechanisms of binary Sn-Cu and ternary Sn-Cu-Ni alloys has been carried out. It is found that Sn-Cu is a weakly-irregular eutectic system with Cu6Sn5 as the leading phase. Interestingly, two different eutectic morph ...

Phase stability, point defects, and elastic properties of W-V and W-Ta alloys

Nadine Baluc

The structure and phase stability of binary tungsten-vanadium and tungsten-tantalum alloys are investigated over a broad range of alloy compositions using ab initio and cluster expansion methods. The alloys are characterized by the negative enthalpy of mix ...

Curvature of micropores in Al-Cu alloys: An X-ray tomography study

Michel Rappaz, Milan Felberbaum

Micropores formed in Al-Cu alloys cast under controlled conditions have been analyzed using high-resolution X-ray tomography. The influence of inoculation conditions, copper content, cooling rate and initial hydrogen content on the morphology of pores has ...
