Phase transformation kinetics and self-patterning in misfitting thin films
We outline a computational approach for the study of phase transformations in misfitting thin films and then investigate the kinetics of a transformation to assess the role of heterogeneous nucleation sites, formed in the vicinity of misfit dislocations, in the self-patterning of these systems. Both computer simulation and analytical methods are employed to analyze spatio-temporal correlations ...
متن کاملKinetics of spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films.
We study universality in the kinetics of spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films, via simulations of the thin film equation. It is shown that, in addition to morphology and free energy, the number density of local maxima in the film profile can also be used to identify the early, late, and intermediate stages of spinodal phase separation. A universal curve between the number den...
متن کاملInterface controlled microstructure evolution in nanolayered thin films
Article history: Received 17 March 2016 Received in revised form 21 May 2016 Accepted 22 May 2016 Available online 7 June 2016 X-ray nano-diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were conducted along the thickness of a ~4 μm thick CrN/AlN multilayer with continuously increasing AlN layer thicknesses from ~1 to 15 nm on ~7 nm thick CrN template layers. The experiments reveal coherent gro...
متن کاملInfluence of aging temperature on phase transformation and mechanical behavior of NiTi thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering technique
In this study, NiTi thin films were deposited on the glass and NaCl substrates by means of magnetron sputtering method. The influence of aging temperature, over the range 300-500 oC, on phase transformation and mechanical properties of the sputtered NiTi thin films were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nano-indentation assay, respectively. The DSC curves showed that the ag...
متن کاملPhase-Controlled Electrochemical Activity of Epitaxial Mg-Spinel Thin Films.
We report an approach to control the reversible electrochemical activity (i.e., extraction/insertion) of Mg(2+) in a cathode host through the use of phase-pure epitaxially stabilized thin film structures. The epitaxially stabilized MgMn2O4 (MMO) thin films in the distinct tetragonal and cubic phases are shown to exhibit dramatically different properties (in a nonaqueous electrolyte, Mg(TFSI)2 i...
