Advanced mechanical properties of Ni-based superalloys strongly depend on the site preferences of alloying X elements in gamma '-Ni3Al-X precipitates, which are associated with the partial bonding characteristics between Ni, Al, and X atoms. Therefore, in the current work, the site occupancy tendencies of transition X metals were revealed via first-principles ab initio calculations at 0 K. Bonding features of Ni-Al, Ni-X, and Al-X pairs were simulated by using the charge density difference (CDD), electron localization function (ELF), and density of states (DOS) methods, respectively. According to simulations, higher atomic size X elements preferably occupy Al sites of gamma '-Ni3Al-X intermetallics and lead to strong covalent-like directional bondings between themselves and their nearest neighbor (NN) Ni atoms along < 110 & rang; directions. However, if these larger X metals substituted for Ni sites, the bonding properties would differ by plane due to the nature of the L1(2)-type crystal structure of gamma '-Ni3Al-X precipitates. Considering all transition elements, refractory metals (i.e., X = Re, W, Mo, Ta, or Nb) appear as the most effective strength inducers, improving the structural stability of gamma ' phase, even if Ni site substitution of X = Re atoms would start to increase structural instability. On the other hand, relatively small alloying X elements having electron configuration similarities with Ni (i.e., X = Co, Cu, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Pt, or Au) are more likely to worsen bonding strengthening. Instead, these transition X metals creating metallic bondings with NN Ni atoms would contribute to ductility and malleability of Ni-based superalloys. Furthermore, depending on the relative atomic size of gamma '-former and refractory elements, the phase and site preferences of refractory atoms would alter in multicomponent systems. As a result of the attractive or weak repulsive forces between Re-Re, Re-Mo, and Re-W pairs, the structural stability of the constituent phases would deteriorate and harmful topologically close-packed (TCP) phases would precipitate.

The effect of peripheral circuits on the total pi-electron energies of cyclacenes Türker, Burhan Lemi (2000-01-01) Within the framework of the Huckel molecular orbital theory, certain linear models are developed to express the contribution of peripheral circuits of cyclacenes into their total pi -electron energies, which explain why cyclacenes exhibit the cryptoannulenic behavior as their peripheral circuits which are annulenic in character.
The catalytic activity of space versus terrestrial synthesized zeolite Beta catalysts in the Meerwein Ponndorf Verley Reactions: Support for PFAL as the Lewis active site for cis-alcohol selectivity Akata, Burcu; Goodrich, Trevor L.; Ziemer, Katherine S.; Sacco, Albert (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01) The Lewis activity of the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reactions is hypothesized to be due to partial framework aluminum (PFAl) that is either octahedrally or tri-coordinated. Crystals grown in the ftee-fall environment of low earth orbit (LEO) are more uniform; that is, have fewer lattice "defects" compared to those grown in a gravity field (i.e., on earth). Therefore, crystals grown in orbit should be less catalytically active relative to their earth grown counterparts. The catalytic activity towards th...
The effect of boron substitution on cyclacenes Türker, Burhan Lemi; Azizoglu, A (2001-01-15) AM1-type semiempirical molecular orbital treatment was performed on the Huckel-type cyclacenes having certain number of boron atoms at the peri-positions and at the fusion sites of the arenoid rings. The effect of boron atoms is generally destabilizing in all the cases as compared to their unsubstituted cyclacene counterparts. The AM1 results revealed that certain properties of the boron-substituted cyclacenes are affected not only by the number of arenoid rings they have but also by the nature of their per...
The effect of dissolved species on hydrophobic aggregation of fluorite Hicyilmaz, C; Bilgen, S; Ozbas, KE (1997-03-10) The hydrophobic aggregation of fluorite in the presence of Fe3+, Al3+, F- Ca2+, Mg2+ and Ba2+ ions was studied. Electrokinetic potentials were measured to interpret the effect of these ions on aggregation.
The effect of the different donor units on fluorescent conjugated polymers containing 2,1,3-benzooxadiazole as the acceptor unit Goker, Seza; Hizalan, Gonul; Ileri, Merve; Hacioglu, Serife O.; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2015-08-15) A series of monomers were synthesized via Stille coupling to obtain low-band gap conjugated polymers namely poly(5,6-bis(octyloxy)-4,7-di(thieno[3,2-b]thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole (PTTBO)), poly(5,6-bis(octyloxy)-4,7-di(selenophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole (PSBO)) and poly(5,6-bis(octyloxy)-4,7-di(furan-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazole (PFBO)) which comprise electron-rich thieno[3,2b]thiophene (TT), selenophene and furan, as the donor units in conjugation with electron-deficient 2,1,3-benzooxa...
