Thermal Lattice Expansion Of Various Types Of Solids, Jayantkumar Shantilal Shah Jan 1971

Thermal Lattice Expansion Of Various Types Of Solids, Jayantkumar Shantilal Shah

Doctoral Dissertations

"Thermal lattice expansion studies of various types of solids were carried out in this investigation and were corelated to their crystallographic and various other properties. The advantages and limitations of various methods of studying thermal expansion are discussed in detail. A new design for a versatile low temperature camera to study expansion by an X-ray method is proposed. The thermal lattice expansion of silicon was negative below 119ºK. This behavior is discussed in terms of crystal structure and interatomic bonding. Diamond exhibits no anomalous thermal expansion. Lattice parameter data for many metals at low temperatures are reported for the first …


Activation Volumes Of Carbon Diffusion In F.C.C. Iron-Nickel Alloys, James Raymond Keiser Jan 1971

Activation Volumes Of Carbon Diffusion In F.C.C. Iron-Nickel Alloys, James Raymond Keiser

Doctoral Dissertations

"The disaccommodation technique was used to determine the activation volume of carbon diffusion, ΔV, in six fcc iron-nickel alloys. Measurements were made at temperatures ranging from 68ºC to 90ºC and pressures up to six kilobars on samples having a nickel content between 31 and 63 at. %. A maximum activation volume of 3.9 cm³/mole was found at 34 at. % nickel. The compositional dependence of ΔV is satisfactorily reproduced by a magnetic energy continuum model in which it is assumed that the activation free energy of diffusion is essentially ferromagnetic in origin "--Abstract, page iii.


Structure And Properties Of Silver Borate Glasses, Edward Nashed Boulos Jan 1971

Structure And Properties Of Silver Borate Glasses, Edward Nashed Boulos

Doctoral Dissertations

"Clear glasses form in the system Ag₂O-B₂O₃ up to about 35 mol.% (65 wt.%) Ag₂O. Infrared absorption, thermal expansion and density data indicated an analogy to the Na₂O-B₂O₃ system. Pentaborate-triborate group pairs appear to be formed upon the addition of Ag₂O to B₂O₃ up to 20 mol.% Ag₂O and diborate groups from 20 to 33 mol.% Ag₂O. This interpretation is supported by the comparison of the infrared absorption spectra of quenched and crystallized glasses. One crystallization product ,Ag₂O.4B₂O₃, has been identified previously. A new compound starts to appear at 28 mol.% Ag₂O. Silver is generally present as a network modifier …


The Genesis Of Cellular Precipitation In Copper Rich Copper-Indium Alloys, Raymond Albert Fournelle Jan 1971

The Genesis Of Cellular Precipitation In Copper Rich Copper-Indium Alloys, Raymond Albert Fournelle

Doctoral Dissertations

"The morphology of cellular precipitation in a Cu-9.5at.%In alloy has been investigated by light and electron microscopy and x-ray and electron diffraction. Both cellular and general precipitation were observed to occur simultaneously in quenched and aged alloys while only cellular precipitation was observed to occur in isothermally aged alloys. Because of the presence of wide, vacancy depleted precipitate free zones in the vicinity of grain boundaries, general precipitation was observed to have no effect on the early development of cellular precipitation. Hence, the early development of cellular precipitation was found to be identical for both types of heat treatment. By …


X-Ray And Neutron Diffraction Study Of The Holmium-Iron System, Michael Fred Simmons Jan 1971

X-Ray And Neutron Diffraction Study Of The Holmium-Iron System, Michael Fred Simmons

Doctoral Dissertations

"Neutron diffraction and x-ray powder studies have been made of holmium-iron intermetallic compounds. The magnetic moments of Ho and Fe are in good agreement with measured spontaneous magnetization assuming a ferrimagnetic model with the Ho moments antiparallel to the Fe moments. The magnetic moments of the Fe atoms are found to be localized and thus independent of the rare earth content in the alloys. In contrast to HoCo₃, (00ℓ) type magnetic peaks in the neutron diffraction patterns are still prevalent at room temperature and gradually decrease as the Curie temperature is approached. This fact indicates that the easy direction of …


An Age Hardening Study Of Magnesium-Thorium-Manganese Alloys, Kuldip Singh Chopra Jan 1971

An Age Hardening Study Of Magnesium-Thorium-Manganese Alloys, Kuldip Singh Chopra

Doctoral Dissertations

"The age hardening processes in Mg-3.5 wt.% Th-1.0 wt.% Mn and Mg-1.0 wt.% Th-1.0 wt.% Mn alloys have been studied by light and electron microscopy, and by electron and X-ray diffraction. At aging temperatures of 300ºC and below, G.P. zone formation rapidly hardens these alloys followed by the precipitation of disc shaped plates during averaging. During aging above 300ºC, no G.P. zones form and the disc shaped precipitate grows to very large sizes. The combined results of X-ray and electron diffraction indicate that the disc shaped precipitate has a Mg₃Cd (DO₁₉) type structure. The basal plane of the Mg₃Th discs …


Internal Friction Of Ion Exchanged Li₂O•Al₂O₃•2sio₂ Glasses, A. Ismail A. Abdel-Latif Jan 1971

Internal Friction Of Ion Exchanged Li₂O•Al₂O₃•2sio₂ Glasses, A. Ismail A. Abdel-Latif

Doctoral Dissertations

"Li₂O•Al₂O₂•2SiO₂ glass fibers were ion-exchanged from 1 to 300 minutes in a sodium nitrate bath at 366ºC. The internal friction was measured along with the lithium and sodium concentration profiles. As sodium progressively replaced lithium, the alkali internal friction peak became smaller while a new peak (mixed alkali peak) appeared and increased in magnitude. These changes in the internal friction are similar to those that occur upon the addition of a second alkali to glasses prepared by conventional melting. The magnitude of both internal friction peaks in ion exchanged glasses was dependent on the overall glass composition. The magnitude of …


Surface Reactions Of Boron With Clean Tungsten Substrates, Thomas A. Flaim Jan 1971

Surface Reactions Of Boron With Clean Tungsten Substrates, Thomas A. Flaim

Doctoral Dissertations

"A model developed to predict adsorbate-induced work-function changes for thermionic emitters is shown here to apply to a more general class of electron emission phenomena and a much broader range of adsorbates. This model predicts that chemically, vapor-deposited boron will increase the work function of a clean tungsten substrate at coverages between 0 and 1 monolayer. This is the first time that a single model has been shown to predict both positive and negative work function changes for different adsorbates. The reactions of chemically, vapor-deposited (CVD) boron with clean tungsten substrates were studied using field emission microscopy (FEM) and low …
