solid solutions of ag-cu were prepared via ball milling process, for about 5-30 h. the cu-20at%ag and cu-3.64at%ag composition were investigated by x-ray diffraction technique. it was realized that the solid solubility level could be increased by increasing the initial solute content in the mixture. in addition, shifts in peak positions of silver and copper were observed with milling time. the ...

thermal behavior of various solid feldspars are different, namely those of bivalent cations show no change in the distribution of al and si atoms, whereas feldspars of univalent cations become more disordered with raising temperature. in the latter case al atoms migrate from the sites they occupe at low temperatures and interchange positions with the si atoms. at high temperatures (but still be...

sulphosalts in the system agsbs2-agass2 have been experimentally investigated using dry methods. the solid solutions which form between ?-miargyrite and smithite have different structures. the epma data for the solid solution series show that there is an inverse relation between sb and as. the cell parameters of the solid solution between ?-miargyrite and smithite increase up to about 50% of...

in the present study, the capability of accumulative roll bonding (arb) and subsequent heat-treatment to fabricate solid solution from a multilayered cu/zn/al was investigated. two post-heat treatment (one-step and two-step) routes were proposed. in the first, the arb processed material was heated to 800 c for 5:30 hours and allowed to cool slowly in a furnace (one-step route). in the second (t...

accumulative roll bonding (arb) was used to fabricate the cu-zn multilayer and cu-zn solid solution. a lamellar structure with the hardness of about 130 vhn was formed after eight arb cycles. following to the suitable heat treatment, a solid solution with a uniform microstructure and hardness of about 57 vhn was produced. the dominant wear mechanism in the arb processed multilayer was found to ...

chemical wastewater treatment is one of the attracting and common methods for wastewater treatment among the currently employed chemical unit processes. the use of coagulant-flocculant compound is one of the efficient methods for separating of paint and recovery of water. in this research, it was introduced and the effect of ph on removal of solid content from solution was studied experimentall...

The monoclinic silicates Lu2SiO5 and Sc2SiO5 (Y2SiO5 type, space groupC2/c) form a solid solution Lu2−xScxSiO5. Samples with x = 0.5, 0.8, 1.0 were synthesized ceramically from Lu2O3, Sc2O3, and SiO2. The structures of three crystals with x = 0.88, 0.77, and 0.50 were refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The rare earth (RE) atoms occupy two crystallographically differe...

Using density functional theory calculations, we investigate the feasibility of using silver on the perovskite A-site in high-performance lead-free piezoelectrics. The calculations show that silver atoms are ferroelectrically active and can off-center by 0.5 Å. To induce Ag ferroelctric behavior absent in pure AgNbO3 we explore solid solutions of AgNbO3 with well-known simple perovskites PbTiO3...
