Fisher model of intercrystalline diffusion is refined based on an analysis of previously obtained results of emission Mössbauer studies of grain boundaries. It is shown that under conditions of dominating intercrystalline diffusion, the existence of monatomic near-boundary layers of equilibrium composition should be t…

The index of refraction in the isotropic phase, n, and in the mesophase, n o , for pure 5CB and 8CB liquid crystals, as well as their binary mixtures, were measured as a function of temperature. The related parameters, namely the orientational order parameter (S), relative polarizability anisotropy (ζ), and molecular…

The ordering in nanocrystalline Fe100−xPtx (x=40, 45, 50, and 55) alloys prepared by mechanical ball milling was studied by neutron powder diffraction during in situ heat treatment and differential scanning calorimetry. Independent of milling time and stoichiometry the onset of ordering is at around 300°C. For alloys…

The aim of this work is to investigate electronic structure, magnetic properties and electrical resistivity of Fe(2)V(1-x)Ti(x)Al Heusler alloys. Numerical calculations give a pseudogap at the Fermi level for the majority-spin band of Fe(2)TiAl and a magnetic moment larger than 0.9 μ(B), whereas the ground state of Fe…

Compact polymers are self-avoiding random walks that visit every site on a lattice. This polymer model is used widely for studying statistical problems inspired by protein folding. One difficulty with using compact polymers to perform numerical calculations is generating a sufficiently large number of randomly sampled…

The mechanisms of silicon nanocrystal structure formation in amorphous Si films have been studied for a relative Ni impurity content varying between 0.1 and 10at.%, i.e., from a Ni doping range to the Si–Ni alloy phase. The films, deposited by the cosputtering technique at 200°C, were submitted to isochronal (15min) a…

Abstract The thermodynamic properties of the Al–Na and Na–Al–H systems have been assessed by combining the “calculation of phase diagram” approach with first-principles predictions. The Gibbs energies of the individual phases were thermodynamically modeled, where the model parameters were obtained from best fit optimi…
