Many properties of metals are determined by the defects, such as point defects, their complexes and nanovoids, whereas properties of these defects are generally related to the changes in atomic structure in the vicinity ...

The influence of friction time on the hardness, tensile properties, and microstructure of the welded samples is investigated. With increasing friction time, the hardness and tensile strength values increase too. The hardness ...

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 ...

Using low temperature X-ray diffraction, the phase transformations in the hydrogen-saturated nickel are studied. At the hydrogen degassing, its content in nickel decreases down to H/M ratio of about 0.65. The further ...

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 ...

Dependences of the stationary Josephson current in symmetric and nonsymmetric tunnel junctions involving d-wave superconductors with charge density waves (CDWs) on the system parameters are calculated. Both the checkerboard ...

Classic Fisher model of grain-boundary diffusion with leakage into bulk is generalized by consideration of the surface-tension change along the grain boundary.
