Mechanical alloying (MA) has been utilized to synthesize many equilibrium and/or nonequilibrium phases. During the MA process, alloys are formed by the solid-state reaction. Solid solution has been obtained by MA, strain occurs due to the dissolution one component in the binary system. An...

We present the fabrication of large-scale two-dimensional periodic silicon nanoarrays using nanosphere lithography. The techniques start from a monolayer of self-assembled polystyrene (PS) spheres of 220 nm in diameter on water surface, which works as a mask to fabricate large-scale periodic...

Effects of Si3N4 passivation layer on the lattice strain of Al0.22Ga0.78N layer with the thickness of 100 nm has been studied by in situ X-ray diffraction by the temperature range of 25°C–550°C. Results show that the temperature dependence of the strain relaxations can be separated into...

Highly ordered crystalline and amorphous Si nanoarrays have been formed by using self-assembled monolayer of polystyrene nanospheres as a template followed by dry ion etching treatments. The template was removed by annealing at 8°C and pattern transfer process was revealed by atomic force...

Nanocrystalline supersaturated solid solutions were formed by mechanically alloyed Fe-28Al (in atom percent) from the elemental powder of iron and aluminum. Phase evolution, grain size and lattice strain of these powders were determined and discussed. A thermodynamic model was developed based on...

The modified Peirel–Nabarro model of dislocations is not valid for the superdislocation bounded by the antiphase domain boundaries in long-range ordered intermetallic. In this work, a new Peirel–Nabarro Stress model is developed to take into account the critical resolved shear stress of...
