One of the most common castings applied in industrial production is aluminum-silicon alloy (ca. 12 % Si). Non-modified Al-Si alloy is characterized by coarse-grained structure, responsible for its poor physicochemical properties. The microstructure and mechanical properties of hyper-eutectic silumins may be improved b…

The effect of bombardment with energetic particles on the deep‐level spectrum of copper‐contaminated silicon wafers is studied by space charge spectroscopy methods. The p‐type FZ‐Si wafers were doped with copper in the temperature range of 645–750 °C and then irradiated with the 1015 cm−2 fluence of 5 MeV electrons at…

Periodic and molecular density functional theory calculations have been applied to elucidate the associative mechanism for hydrazine and ammonia synthesis in the gas phase and hydrazine formation on Co3Mo3N. We find that there are two activation barriers for the associative gas phase mechanism with barriers of 730 and…
