Abstract

Bonding characteristics of liquid boron at 2500K are studied by using high resolution Compton scattering. An excellent agreement is found between the measurements and the corresponding Car-Parinello molecular dynamics simulations. Covalent bond pairs are clearly shown to dominate in liquid boron along with the coexistence of diffuse pairs. Our study reveals the complex bonding pattern of liquid boron, and gives insight into the unusual properties of this high temperature liquid.

Abstract

Metallic liquid silicon at 1787K is investigated using x-ray Compton scattering. An excellent agreement is found between the measurements and the corresponding Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show persistence of covalent bonding in liquid silicon and provide support for the occurrence of theoretically predicted liquid-liquid phase transition in supercooled liquid states. The population of covalent bond pairs in liquid silicon is estimated to be 17% via a maximally-localized Wannier function analysis. Compton scattering is shown to be a sensitive probe of bonding effects in the liquid state., Comment: 5pages, 3 postscript figures

4. Thermoelectric properties of polygrained icosahedral Al71-xGaxPd20Mn9 (x=0,2,3,4) quasicrystals.

Abstract

The electrical and thermal transport properties of quaternary icosahedral Al71-xGaxPd20Mn9 (x=0,2,3,4) quasicrystals, obtained by replacing Al in icosahedral Al–Pd–Mn quasicrystal with Ga, have been measured in accordance with the guiding principle of “weakly bonded rigid heavy clusters” (WBRHCs). While the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient were not dramatically changed, the thermal conductivity effectively decreased with increasing Ga concentration except for the sample with x=4. Although the thermoelectric properties do not obey the WBRHCs, the dimensionless figure of merit increased by a factor of 1.4 from 0.18 for Al71Pd20Mn9 to 0.26 for Al68Ga3Pd20Mn9 quasicrystal.

13. Structural vacancies in Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal and its (1/1, 2/1)-AlPdMnSi approximant crystals: Positron lifetime studies.

Abstract

Positron annihilation lifetimes of the stable icosahedral (i) Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal and its (1/1, 2/1)-AlPdMnSi and 1/0-Al12Re approximant crystals were measured at ambient temperature. The observed single-lifetime of the i-Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystal is very close to that of the (1/1, 2/1)-AlPdMnSi approximant crystals, indicating that the same type of structural vacancies exists in all these specimens. On the other hand, the lifetime of 1/0-Al12Re approximant crystal, which has no structural vacancies, is significantly shorter than the above results. We discuss the relationship between the positron lifetimes and mean valence-electron density. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

14. HAADF-STEM study of B-Mg-Ru approximant crystals.

Abstract

Two-dimensional structures of decagonal approximant crystals have been studied in a B-Mg-Ru system where decagonal quasicrystals have been predicted. High-angle annular detector dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) imaging confirms that four approximant phases, which form at high temperatures, can be described as tessellations of hexagon and boat subunits with the same atomic decorations as B11Mg5Ru13. The images also support the existence of bow-tie flip structures in the all four approximant crystals. Long periodicities in one direction up to 8.5 nm are interpreted to be caused by modulation of rows of boat tiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
