Much of the recent metallic glass research is devoted to controlling the crystallization of amorphous precursors with the purpose of obtaining amorphous matrix nanocrystalline alloys which combine unmatched soft magnetic properties with good mechanical properties. Therefore, it is crucial to have better understanding of crystallization mechanisms and thermal dependence of nanocrystals that are formed by annealing. This study deals with the nanociystallization kinetics of Cu-modified Fe-Co-Ni-B-Si-Nb bulk amorphous alloy using a non-conventional technique, i.e. isothermal magnetic monitoring, as applied to classical Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov theory. The kinetic parameters determined via isothermal magnetic monitoring were compared with various non-isothermal approaches based on conventional thermal analysis where excellent agreement was obtained in local Avrami index and activation energy for nanocrystallization. Analyzing the local kinetics, alpha-(Fe,Co) nanocrystals were found to evolve through rather distinct regimes during annealing. The initial stage of crystallization is controlled by non-steady state diffusion field and transient nucleation effects, the intermediate stage is characterized by diffusion-controlled growth of crystals with negligible initial volume, and the late stage by suppressed growth kinetics due to soft-impingement diffusion and pile-up of solute atoms with slow diffusivity. Microstructural evolution of the nanocrystalline alpha-(Fe,Co) phase was examined by transmission electron microscopy and discussed according to the characteristics of distinct transformation regimes deduced from the kinetic analysis.

Magnetic monitoring approach to kinetics of phase transformations in multicomponent alloy systems Duman, Nagehan; Mekhrabov, O. Mekhrabov; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) It is of great importance for a materials scientist both from fundamental and applicability aspects to have better understanding of solid-state phase transformations and its kinetics responsible for micro-/nano-structure development in alloys and corresponding physical and mechanical properties. Transformation kinetics can be analyzed by various experimental techniques such as thermal analysis, laborious electron microscopy combined with extensive image analysis or by measuring changes in electrical resisti...
Properties of Al2O3: nc-Si nanostructures formed by implantation of silicon ions into sapphire and amorphous films of aluminum oxide Tetelbaum, D. I.; Mikhaylov, A. N.; Belov, A. I.; Ershov, A. V.; Pitirimova, E. A.; Plankina, S. M.; Smirnov, V. N.; Kovalev, A. I.; Turan, Raşit; Yerci, Selçuk; Finstad, T. G.; FOSS, SEAN (2009-02-01) Photoluminescence, infrared Fourier spectroscopy, Raman scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction were used to study the luminescent, optical, and structural properties of aluminum oxide layers (sapphire and films of Al2O3 deposited on silicon) implanted with Si+ to produce silicon nanocrystals. It is established that, in both cases, a high-temperature annealing of heavily implanted samples brings about the formation of silicon nanocrystals. However, the luminescent properties o...
Mechanical and optical properties of SiO2 thin films deposited on glass Simurka, Lukas; Ctvrtlik, Radim; Tomastik, Jan; Bektaş, Gence; Svoboda, Jan; Bange, Klaus (2018-09-01) The optical and mechanical properties of amorphous SiO2 films deposited on soda-lime silicate float glass by reactive RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature were investigated in dependence of the process pressure. The densities of the films are strongly influenced by the process pressure and vary between 2.38 and 1.91 g cm(-3) as the pressure changes from 0.27 to 1.33 Pa. The refractive indices of the films shift between 1.52 and 1.37, while the residual compressive stresses in the deposited films vary...
Mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of carbon fiber reinforced poly(dimethylsiloxane)/polypyrrole composites Cakmak, G; Kucukyavuz, Z; Kucukyavuz, S; Cakmak, H (2004-01-01) Conductive and flexible carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/polypyrrole (PPy) composites were synthesized electrochemically. Electrochemical synthesis was performed at + 1.1 V using p-toluenesulfonic acid as supporting electrolyte and water as solvent. Composites were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), conductivity measurements and mechanical tests. Conductivities of composites were observed in the range of 2.2-4 S/cm. SEM studies show tha...

Oguz; DUMAN, Nagehan; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Kucuk, Ilker (2013-05-01) In this study, the effects of Cu, Zr, Ti, Y, Pt substitution for Nb additions on the stability and magnetic properties of Fe-Ni-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys fabricated by the suction casting method are investigated. The saturation magnetization (J(s)) and coercivity (H-c) for as-cast Fe36Ni36B19.2Si4.8Nb4-xMx (M = Cu, Ti) BMG alloys were in the range of 0.51 T-0.55 T and 76-779 A/m, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry curves show that the Fe36Ni36B19.2Si4.8Nb4-xMx (M = Cu, Ti) bulk met...
