We examine the scaling properties of both the growth and coalescence regimes of bubble growth, and find that the scaling exponents in these regimes are controlled by the fission rate and temperature. The nucleation regime is characterised by a growth exponent close to 1/2, while the coalescence regime is characterised by a growth exponent around 1/3. We show that the statistical distribution over bubble size is of a universal character. Analytical results are verified by numerical simulations and clarified with experimental data. This study provides insight into the kinetics of fission gas bubble growth in amorphous systems.","PeriodicalId":19856,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Magazine","volume":"82 1","pages":"1311 - 1327"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85596615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transformation is associated with a decrease in the potential energy that is the driving force for the transformation. The coordinated atom displacements, which generate the martensite, produce large elastic strains in the material, which are associated with an elastic energy that opposes the transformation. A thermodynamic nucleation criterion for this type of transformations is derived. The criterion is evaluated by the method of static lattice relaxation for homogeneous nucleation in an atomistic 2D model material. The potential energy of martensitic clusters of different sizes and shapes, embedded in a stabilised austenitic matrix are calculated. The results exhibit non-monotonous progressions of the potential energy with the cluster size. This indicates that the elastic strain energy scales non-linearly with the size to allow the formation of local energy maxima at critical cluster sizes, interpreted as nucleation barriers. These barriers separate domains of stability from domains of instability in the configurations space, similar to Kelvin's classical theory of spherical fluid phase nucleation. The critical nuclei sizes are in the order of 100–150 unit cells, and their shapes are plate-like with long dimension parallel to the shear direction. The critical size of twinned clusters decreases with the twinning multiplicity.","PeriodicalId":19856,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Magazine","volume":"49 1","pages":"1247 - 1278"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88471813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The partial Fe substitution in BaTiO3 conserves and doubles its initial polarisation value from 0.12 to 0.25 C/m2. In contrast to nonmagnetic BaTiO3, we observe a net magnetic moment of 6.0 μB/formula unit. But, when the strong correlations among d electrons of Fe atoms are taken into account, the total magnetic is increasing and is equal to 10 μB/formula unit, due to a net increasing of magnetic moment of Fe atoms. Therefore, the coexistence of spontaneous electrical polarisation P along with a magnetic moment leads to a new and interesting multiferroic behaviour. We also observe a half-metallic behaviour in which spin down bands structure shows metallic character whereas spin up bands structure shows semi-conductor character with an energy gap of 1.48 eV. This reveals that the multiferroic BaTi0.5Fe0.5O3 could be potential candidate for spintronics devices.","PeriodicalId":19856,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Magazine","volume":"35 1","pages":"1279 - 1292"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87206280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The partial substitution of iodine into the bromine sites of CsPbBr3 single crystal makes attractive effects in optical and structural properties as well as their thermal and phase stability. Herein, the Inverse Temperature Crystallization (ITC) method has been utilised to grow high-quality, large, and single-phase single crystals of CsPbBr2.4I0.6 perovskites. The iodine doping is found to result in improved purity, thermal, phase, and atmospheric stability of the single crystal and helped to tune the band gap. Further, there is a conspicuous decrease in the defect density with iodine doping. Thus the present study establishes iodine doping as a facile route to grow CsPbBr3 single crystals with overall stability and improved defect density with a broad absorption spectrum, that point toward extended optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications.

The results are as follows: TRSC can effectively refine grain size and inhibit the segregation of the Cu-6Ni-1.4Si-0.1Cr alloy. Two types of precipitates are formed mainly during the ageing process: disk-shaped δ-Ni2Si and rod-shaped β-Ni3Si. The comprehensive properties of the alloy are improved, and the precipitation strengthening mechanism is either from the dislocation shearing mechanism or the Orowan mechanism in different stages of ageing. The Cu-6Ni-1.4Si-0.1Cr alloy achieves optimum performance after ageing at 350°C for 4 h, where the tensile strength and conductivity are 1112 MPa and 27.35% IACS, respectively.
