Modifying the magnetic properties of Laves phase intermetallic multilayers and films by nano-patterning and ion implantation
Since the pioneering work of Kneller & Hawig and Skomski & Coey some 20 years ago, the topic of exchange springs has received considerable attention. Exchange springs, systems where thin hard and soft magnetic layers are alternately arranged in multilayer stacks, provide great potential in …

Lightweight Intermetallics with Laves Structures as Potential Hydrogen Storage Materials
… requirements. Intermetallic compounds with Laves structures in the formula of AB2 have long been known to store hydrogen in their interstitial sites to serve as reversible hydrogen storage materials (A and B are metallic elements). They have the potential to be hydrided to a maximum of ~ …

Microstructure and mechanical behavior of metastable beta type titanium alloys
… quantity of Cr is enough to retain a single β phase. Young’s moduli of the Ti-27Nb-7Fe-xCr alloys decrease from 116 GPa (in Ti-27Nb-7Fe) to 72 GPa (in Ti-27Nb-7Fe-8Cr) as the β stability improves. The Ti-33Zr-xFe-yCr alloys, except Ti- 33Zr-3Fe-2Cr alloy, demonstrate a C15 type Laves phase and …

Ni-Al-Ta alloys for high temperature abrasive coatings
… particles embedded in a NiCoCrAlY anchor phase. Previous work has shown that at the operating temperatures achieved in the high-pressure turbine, the NiCoCrAlY is unable to retain the embedded cBN particles under abrasion. A new anchor phase system based on the intermetallic NiAl, …

Computational Modeling Of High-Performance Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Materials
… of the active material, including multiple phases, defects, and structural and compositional disorder. The contributions of such subtle defects and the difference with the bulk structure can be difficult to discern experimentally. Ab initio calculations such as the ones based on density …

Microstructural Evolution in Refractory Metal Multi-Component Alloy Systems
… diffracted-spot tracing approach to follow phase evolution during controlled thermal histories. Across AlTaTiZr and the canonical AlMoNbTaTiZr alloy, the method resolves the sequence of phase separation, ordering and subsequent transformations, provides transformation temperatures, and …

A resonant ultrasound spectroscopy study of hydrogen-absorbing intermetallic compounds
… lattice was undertaken, on two different Cl5 Laves-phase compounds. These results have been obtained by determining the ultrasonic attenuation as a function of temperature from low temperatures (~0.5 K) up to room temperature and above. The hydrogen-absorbing intermetallic compounds, TiCr1.8 …

Point contact studies of rare earth-transition metal compounds
… beam epitaxy (MBE) deposited RFe2 (R = Dy,Y,Er) Laves phase intermetallic films was determined, and found to be close to that of Fe. This suggests that the spin transport behaviour in these materials is dominated by the Fe sub-lattice. Preliminary evidence for spin transfer torque effects in an …

Magnetism, Structure and their Interactions
… compounds is investigated in four cubic Laves phase compounds (YFe2, ZrFe2, HfFe2, and LuFe2). The magnetic spin moment is decreased under pressure. A magnetic collapse where the spin moment vanishes is predicted under pressure around 20 GPa for Zr and Hf compounds, 40 GPa for Y and Lu …

Ferritic steel interconnectors and their interactions with Ni base anodes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC)
… shown that the Nb containing precipitates of the Laves phase type had a high affinity for Si which results in a reduced amount of Si in the alloy matrix. Thus, in Nb containing alloys Si impurities can be tolerated which causes lower alloy manufacturing costs. At the same time Si additions …

Upscaling effect in the preparation of metal hydride materials
… alloy contained no impurities with a single C14 Laves phase and had a maximum storage capacity of 1.8 wt.% H2 at 20C . The base alloy additionally doped with Lanthanum (Ti0.85Zr0.15Cr0.2Mn1.22Ni0.22V0.3Fe0.06La0.02) was prepared by induction melting with an alumo-silica crucible and graphite …

HYDROGEN STORAGE CHARACTERISTICS OF ZIRCONIUM((IRON-X)(CHROMIUM-1-X))(,2).
… These intermetallics are predominantly single-phased, identified as the hexagonal, Laves phase. Hydrogen is absorbed quite readily, with no special activation treatment. Hydrogen absorption results in the formation of a distinct hydride phase, with the same crystal structure as the parent …

Untersuchungen zur Natur der Laves-Phasen in Systemen der Übergangsmetalle
Laves-Phasen sind intermetallische Verbindungen der Zusammensetzung AB2, die in den Strukturtypen C14 (MgZn2), C15 (MgCu2), C36 (MgNi2) oder deren Abkömmlingen kristallisieren. Diese sind Polytypen mit einem gemeinsamen grundlegenden Strukturmuster. Insgesamt sind über 1400 binäre und ternäre …

Monte-Carlo Simulation of Diffusion as an Aid to Interpreting Quasi-elastic Neutron Scattering from Lattice Gas Systems with Diffusion on Multiple Time-Scales
… in PdH, diffusion of hydrogen in the C15 Laves phase alloy ZrV2 was also examined in some detail. The rationale here is that this is a system where long-range translational diffusion and localised diffusion have been shown to coexist, and acts as a good test for the techniques developed …
