1. Role of alloying elements in Mo5Si3 intermetallics
Sammanfattning : The role of alloying elements in the intermetallic compound Mo5Si3 was studied in the alloying systems Mo5-xMxSi3 (M = Cr, Ti, Nb, Ni, or Co, x = 0.5-2). The effects of the alloying elements were examined by characterising the microstructures and identifying the resulting phases. In the case of Cr and Nb alloying, a solubility of 25% (at. LÄS MER
2. Metal Hydrogen Interaction and Structural Characterization of Amorphous Materials from first principles
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, first-principles calculations based on density functional theory have been employed to investigate metal hydrogen interaction in transition, p-block and rare earth metals. Furthermore, the accuracy of the stochastic quenching method was tested in describing the structure of amorphous Fe(1-x)Zrx. LÄS MER
3. Connectivity Properties of Archimedean and Laves Lattices
Sammanfattning : An Archimedean lattice is a graph of a regular tiling of the plane, such that all corners are equivalent. A tiling is regular if all tiles are regular polygons: equilateral triangles, squares, et cetera. There exist exactly 11 Archimedean lattices. LÄS MER
4. Studies of inorganic crystal structures and gas adsorption process in mesoporous crystals : New approach through analysis of electron charge distribution by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction
Sammanfattning : Using synchrotron powder XRD experiments, I studied (i) structures of silica mesoporous MCM-41 and MCM-48 crystals, (ii) gas adsorption processes of Ar and N2 in the mesopores of the mesoporous crystals, and (iii) bonding features of CaAl2-xZnx crystals through the analysis of electron charge density distributions. In the case of mesoporous crystals, the following two different approaches were taken depending on the number of observed X-ray reflections1. LÄS MER
5. Development of a new generation of creep resistant 12% chromium steels: Microstructure of Z-phase strengthened steels
Sammanfattning : Fossil-fuel fired steam power plants provide more than 60% of the electricity generated worldwide, and account for about one third of the global CO2 emissions. Increasing the steam temperature and pressure leads to a higher thermal efficiency of the power plants and thus lower emissions. LÄS MER
