Based on standpoints of the surface physics, fracture mechanics and electrochemistry, a mathematical model of the physical and chemical processes near the crack tip of a metal under mechanical loads in aqueous electrolyte ...

The zirconium nitride ZrN coatings are deposited on substrates of XC100 steel using physical vapour deposition (PVD) technique. Coatings based on nitrides of transition metals (Nb, Zr, Ti, V, ...) developed by PVD are known ...

Possibility of quasi-crystal decagonal phase formation in the surface layers of aluminium during laser alloying is demonstrated. Alloying is carried out by mixture of copper and cobalt powders with atomic ratio 1:1. The ...

As shown, the magnetron sputtering is effective for the synthesis of various nanostructured phases of nickel nitride (solid solution of nitrogen in nickel, Ni₄N, Ni₃N, and Ni₂N). The regularities of formation of globular ...

Приводятся результаты in situ электронно-микроскопических исследований скорости диффузионного перемешивания в слоистой плёночной системе Ag—Pd. Показано, что эффективный коэффициент диффузии в системе Ag—Pd с характерным ...

Interdiffusion processes in the polycrystalline Au (30 nm)/Cu (40 nm) thin films during annealing at 100—200°C for 15 and 30 min in a vacuum with different residual-atmosphere pressures of 10⁻² and 10⁻⁶ Pa and in an ...

he lanthanum hexaboride (LaB₆) nanoparticles are synthesized via a solid state reaction in vacuum. Silane coupling agent is used for modifying the surface of the nanoparticles. This process is carried out in different ...

А new tool for TEM sample preparation, which allows preparing a thin lamella with thickness less than 20 nm surrounded by and embedded in bulk material, is presented. The main advantages of this system are low ion milling ...

Ordinary cylindrical specimens with easy-axis anisotropy perpendicular to the axis of a cylinder are studied. As shown, the inhomogeneous long-wave magnetic configurations of harmonic type can be created and observed in ...

The paper presents results of the phase-composition and microstructure studies of the Zn–Mo alloy electrodeposited layers. The Zn–Mo coatings are electrodeposited from sulphate-citrate electrolytes on a steel substrate. ...
