Crystallization kinetics of binary arsenic selenium chalcogenides

Binary As–Se glasses with different amounts of As content have been prepared and scanned with different heating rates (3 ≤ ψ ≤ 48 K min⁻¹) over temperatures ranging from 300 to 450 K. Both the glass transition temperature (T_gl) and the temperature peak of crystallization (T_pc) increase as a function of As and/or the ψ values. A good correlation between T_gl and T_pc has been investigated. The observed increase in T_gl and T_pc by increasing the ψ values or as a function of As is well discussed in accordance with Lasocka’s relationship and using the average coordination number A_cn, the viscosity at glass transition μ(T_gl) and the overall mean bond energy E. The glass transition E_gl and crystallization activation energies (E_gl and E_pc) were determined based on the changes in T_gl and T_pc values due to the heating rate (ψ). The increase in the values of E_gl and E_pc with increasing the As content is expected due to the increase in T_gl and T_pc values. The kinetic exponent n and the crystal dimensionality m have been determined.

Mesoscopic Strain Fields Measurement During the Allotropic α − γ Transformation in High Purity Iron

The allotropic phase change from ferrite to austenite represents a moment of massive interplay between the microstructural and mechanical states of iron. The difference of compacity between the two phases induces a microplastic accommodation in the material at grain scale. However, mechanical heterogeneities resulting from the transformation process remain challenging to characterise due to the high temperature conditions it is associated with. We developed experimental equipment for in situ observation of α ? γ and γ ? α transformations. Images of the surface of an iron sample taken by an optical camera were used as input for a Digital Image Correlation (DIC) routine. Special care was taken to maximize image resolution to capture sub-grain phenomena. Observations show that, at the mesoscopic scale, shear strain fields exhibit strong localisations that are evidence of transformations that are occurring.
