Resonant photoemission spectra of PdCoO 2 at photon energies near the Co 3p to 3d and Pd 4p to 4d absorption thresholds, indicate no density of states at the Fermi level in the partial density of states of Co 3d, and finite density of states at the Fermi level in the partial density of states of Pd 4d, respectively. These results indicate that the main contribution to the density of states at the Fermi level is Pd 4d and that the low resistivity of PdCoO 2 is attributable to the itinerancy of the Pd 4d electrons.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"28 1","pages":"961-964"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81719332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity exhibited fairly complex temperature dependences in this temperature range. The whole temperature range studied is divided into four distinct regions (I) to (IV), depending on observed characteristic temperature dependences of both Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity. From more or less linearly temperature dependent Seebeck coefficient in region (I) in combination with unique temperature dependences of both resistivity and Hall coefficient, we conclude the presence of a small pseudogap with a width of a few meV across the Fermi level. Complex magnetic properties are observed: the antiferromagnetic transition at 22 K but the hysteresis in the M-H curve remains up to room temperature. This is taken as evidence for the existence of Co atoms situated in different magnetic environments. The possession of large Seebeck coefficients exceeding 100 μV K -1 in this system is attributed to the presence of the pseudogap at the Fermi level.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"4 1","pages":"956-960"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79271612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimum plasma treatment condition in this study was 500 W for 12 min and at this condition, 100% bonding ratio for Sn-3.5 Ag and over 80% bonding ratio for Sn-37Pb solder were achieved. The intermetallic compound of continuous Cu 6 Sn 5 was observed along the Si-wafer/solder interface but discrete Cu 6 Sn 5 along the glass/solder interface and the different shapes of Cu 6 Sn 5 were caused by different thickness of Cu as a pad.

It was shown that the measured value of D S relates differently to the impact energy values of materials for cleavage or dimple fractures. The microstructure of materials should be considered comprehensively when relating D S to the mechanical properties of materials. It is found that the correlation between the fractal dimension and the impact energy obtained by SELSM and VSM methods appears to be quite similar. Moreover, the quantitative measurements on the fatigue fracture surfaces of SiC/AI composite materials showed that SiC volume fraction has a strong effect on fractal dimension D S , and that there is an obvious difference in the D S values for fatigue fractures which are due to different fracture mechanisms. These results show that it is possible to reflect the fracture mechanism using D S and relate it to the fracture properties of materials.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"43 1","pages":"128-131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84406224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The addition of Cu shifted the corrosion potential of the Ni-matrix phase to the noble side by about 15 mV, and consequently the difference in the corrosion potential between the Ni-matrix phase and the NiMo 2 B 2 phase decreased, As a result the preferential corrosion of the Ni-matrix phase was extremely retarded.","PeriodicalId":18264,"journal":{"name":"Materials Transactions Jim","volume":"1 1","pages":"1593-1598"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73462305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
