The post-solidification reactions that take place behind the growth front in directionally solidified ternary eutectic Al-Ag-Cu alloys have a marked influence on the observed room temperature microstructure, obscuring many aspects of the solidification morphology present at the growth front. Quantifying these solid-state processes is necessary for proper interpretation of ex-situ microstructure as an indicator of growth dynamics and operating point selection. In this study, the directional growth structure and phase compositions are quantified as a function of distance from the growth front to describe microstructural changes that occur during cooling in the solid state. The solubility of Ag in the Al(fcc) phase decreases rapidly below the eutectic point, and the excess Ag is accommodated by growth of the Ag2Al(hcp) phase, mainly by motion of the Al(fcc)-Ag2Al(hcp) interface. These structural changes are quantified, and compared to the coupled morphology at the solidification front. A cellular automaton method is proposed here to mimic either the forward or reverse solid-state changes, providing a means to estimate many features of the directional growth morphology based on sampling the structure at some known distance from the front.

SiC Substrate Effects on Electron Transport in the Epitaxial Graphene Layer Arslan, Engin; Cakmakyapan, Semih; Kazar, Ozgur; Butun, Serkan; Lisesivdin, Sefer Bora; Cinel, Neval A.; Ertaş, Gülay; Ardali, Sukru; Tiras, Engin; Jawad-ul-Hassan, Jawad-ul-Hassan; Janzen, E.; Ozbay, Ekmel (2014-03-01) Hall effect measurements on epitaxial graphene (EG) on SiC substrate have been carried out as a function of temperature. The mobility and concentration of electrons within the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the EG layers and within the underlying SiC substrate are readily separated and characterized by the simple parallel conduction extraction method (SPCEM). Two electron carriers are identified in the EG/SiC sample: one high-mobility carrier (3493 cm(2)/Vs at 300 K) and one low-mobility carrier (11...
Intrazeolite ruthenium(0) nanoclusters: A superb catalyst for the hydrogenation of benzene and the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim (2008-07-15) The use of microporous materials with ordered porous structures as the hosts to encapsulate metal nanoclusters has attracted particular interest in catalysis because the pore size restriction could limit the growth of nanoclusters and lead to an increase in the percentage of the catalytically active surface atoms. This letter reports the preparation of ruthenium(0) nanoclusters stabilized by the framework of Zeolite-Y by using a simple, easy, efficient method and their superb catalytic activities in two imp...
MIXED-MODE HYGROTHERMAL FRACTURE ANALYSIS OF ORTHOTROPIC FUNCTIONALLY GRADED MATERIALS USING J-INTEGRAL TOPAL, SERRA; Dağ, Serkan (2014-06-27) Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are multi-phase inhomogeneous composites, possessing smooth spatial variations in certain physical properties of the constituents. Depending on the types of the constituent materials used in the processing of orthotropic FGMs, the influences of thermal and hygroscopic loadings could be rather significant. This study is directed towards developing a new computational fracture analysis technique for orthotropic FGMs that are under mixed-mode hygrothermal loading. The metho...
Photoluminescence spectroscopy in the study of growth of CdSxSe1-x nanocrystals in glass Allahverdi, C; Yukselici, MH; Turan, Raşit; Seyhan, A (IOP Publishing, 2004-08-01) Growth of CdS0.08Se0.92 nanocrystals embedded in glass is studied through the combinative analysis of optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy at room temperature. The quantum confinement effect is observed in these structures. Average nanocrystal radii are found to be in the range of 2.3-4.2 nm with the help of a quantized state effective mass theory. Photoluminescence spectra are studied by means of the model of Ravindran et al (1999 Nanostruct. Mater. 11 603). The difference between the...
Photo- and electroluminescent properties of a π-conjugated copolymer containing 2,2′-bipyridyl units Deichmann, Vitor Angelo Fonseca; Çırpan, Ali; KARASZ, Frank E.; AKCELRUD, Leni (Wiley, 2007-02-01) The synthesis, structural characteristics, and photo- and electroluminescent properties of a soluble light-emitting copolymer built up of regularly alternating segments of 1,4-dihexyloxybenzene and 2,2'-bipyridyl (PBPyDHB) are described and discussed. Optical properties of the polymer were investigated in solution and solid-state conditions, demonstrating that in film form the predominant emission centers are inter-macromolecular aggregates, either in photo- or electroluminescence. Thermogravimetric analysi...
