Gas-atomized Fe–24Cr–8Al–0.5Y (wt.%) powder was used as a feedstock in a laser powder bed fusion process with nitrogen atmosphere. Formation of Al–Y–O-enriched nanoparticles with diameters of 10–100 nm implied in-situ precipitation of Al–Y–O-enriched nanoparticles within the ferritic matrix developing an oxide dispersion strengthened FeCrAl alloy without any mechanical alloying. Thermodynamics...
Mapping out multidimensional potential energy surfaces has been a goal of
physical chemistry for decades in the quest to both predict and control chemical
reactivity. Recently a new spectroscopic approach called Femtosecond Stimulated Raman
Spectroscopy or FSRS was introduced that can structurally interrogate multiple
dimensions of a reactive potential energy...
The infrared absorption spectra in the out-of-plane
bending (v₂) region of potassium nitrate were studied for
three phases. Several types of sampled were used: nujol
mulls, fused samples, and N¹⁴-N¹⁵ isotopic mixtures. The
existence of three of the reported polymorphic phases was
confirmed by the spectra. The transitions between phase...
The velocity of sound in gases was measured, using an ultrasonic
wave train as a diffraction grating. The fundamental problems
involved in the optical technique are discussed. An apparatus utilizing
an objective lens of focal length 1.5 m and aperture f/20 was constructed
and used at an ultrasonic frequency close...
