A pressure-induced phase change in the title compound involving a Jahn−Teller switch is observed at an applied pressure of ∼200−250 bar at room temperature by both neutron diffraction and EPR spectroscopy. The transition reverses upon lowering the pressure with a hysteresis of about 100 bar. The single-crystal EPR spe…

Photoluminescence spectra of thin-film aluminium oxide samples on aluminium show spectral lines at ca. 330 and 420 nm that are attributed to the F + and F centers of aluminium oxide, respectively. Experimental results reveal that the F centers are responsible for the intrinsic cathodic luminescence of an oxide-covered…

Results of study of the neutron irradiation effect on pure copper at 340°C are presented. Neutron irradiation, resulting in accumulation of 2 appm of helium (experimentally measured) is shown to cause an appreciable reduction of high-temperature ductility of pure copper at testing temperatures up to 300°C. The SEM and…

Dense mullite coatings have been deposited on SiC and Si3N4 substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The coatings were compositionally graded with the Al/Si ratio increasing from 1.5 at the substrate/coating interface, to a value of 8 at the coating surface. This gradation of composition is discussed in light of…
