Local motifs in GeS-GaS glasses
The structure of (GeS)(GaS) and
(GeS)(GaS) glasses was investigated by Raman
scattering, high energy X-ray diffraction and extended X-ray absorption fine
structure (EXAFS) measurements at the Ga and Ge K-edges. The reverse Monte
Carlo simulation technique (RMC) was used to obtain structural models
compatible with diffraction and EXAFS datasets. It was found that the
coordination number of Ga is close to four. While Ge atoms have only S
neighbors, Ga binds to S as well as to Ga atoms showing a violation of chemical
ordering in GeS-GaS glasses. Analysis of the corner- and
edge-sharing between [GeS] units revealed that about 30% of germanium
atoms participate in the edge-shared tetrahedra.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures, accepted for publication in Journal of Alloys

Structural, electronic and kinetic properties of the phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 in the liquid state
Phase-change materials exhibit fast and reversible transitions between an amorphous and a crystalline state at high temperature. The two states display resistivity contrast, which is exploited in phase-change memory devices. The technologically most important family of phase-change materials consists of Ge-Sb-Te alloys. In this work, we investigate the structural, electronic and kinetic properties of liquid Ge2Sb2Te5 as a function of temperature by a combined experimental and computational approach. Understanding the properties of this phase is important to clarify the amorphization and crystallization processes. We show that the structural properties of the models obtained from ab initio and reverse Monte Carlo simulations are in good agreement with neutron and X-ray diffraction experiments. We extract the kinetic coefficients from the molecular dynamics trajectories and determine the activation energy for viscosity. The obtained value is shown to be fully compatible with our viscosity measurements
On the structure of Ge–As–Te–Cu glasses
International audienceShort range order in glassy 0.9(Ge0.1As0.15Te0.75)–0.1Cu (GATC1) and 0.9(Ge0.05As0.55Te0.4)–0.1Cu (GATC2) was studied by neutron- and X-ray diffraction as well as EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) measurements at the K-edges of all components. The reverse Monte Carlo simulation technique was used to create models consistent with all experimental datasets. It was found that Cu binds predominantly to Te in GATC1 while Cu–As and Cu–Cu bonding is also significant in GATC2. Ge and As atoms have 4 and 3 Ge/As/Te neighbors in both compositions. In GATC1 the formation of ‘extra’ Te–Te bonds can be observed, similarly to GeTe4–AgI glasse

Local microstructure evolution at shear bands in metallic glasses with nanoscale phase separation
At room temperature, plastic flow of metallic glasses (MGs) is sharply localized in shear bands, which are a key feature of the plastic deformation in MGs. Despite their clear importance and decades of study, the conditions for formation of shear bands, their structural evolution and multiplication mechanism are still under debate. In this work, we investigate the local conditions at shear bands in new phase-separated bulk MGs containing glassy nanospheres and exhibiting exceptional plasticity under compression. It is found that the glassy nanospheres within the shear band dissolve through mechanical mixing driven by the sharp strain localization there, while those nearby in the matrix coarsen by Ostwald ripening due to the increased atomic mobility. The experimental evidence demonstrates that there exists an affected zone around the shear band. This zone may arise from low-strain plastic deformation in the matrix between the bands. These results suggest that measured property changes originate not only from the shear bands themselves, but also from the affected zones in the adjacent matrix. This work sheds light on direct visualization of deformation-related effects, in particular increased atomic mobility, in the region around shear bands
Structure evolution of soft magnetic (Fe36Co36B19.2Si4.8Nb4)100−xCux (x=0 and 0.5) bulk glassy alloys
AbstractFully amorphous rods with diameters up to 2mm diameter were obtained upon 0.5at.% Cu addition to the Fe36Co36B19.2Si4.8Nb4 bulk metallic glass. The Cu-added glass shows a very good thermal stability but, in comparison with the Cu-free base alloy, the entire crystallization behavior is drastically changed. Upon heating, the glassy (Fe36Co36B19.2Si4.8Nb4)99.5Cu0.5 samples show two glass transitions-like events, separated by an interval of more than 100K, in between which a bcc-(Fe,Co) solid solution is formed. The soft magnetic properties are preserved upon Cu-addition and the samples show a saturation magnetization of 1.1T combined with less than 2A/m coercivity. The relaxation behavior prior to crystallization, as well as the crystallization behavior, were studied by time-resolved X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. It was found that both glassy alloys behave similar at temperatures below the glass transition. Irreversible structural transformations take place when approaching the glass transition and in the supercooled liquid region

The Effect of Boron Content on Wetting Kinetics in Si-B Alloy/h-BN System
In this work, the effect of boron content on the high-temperature wetting behavior in the Si-B alloy/h-BN systems was experimentally examined. For this reason, hypoeutectic, eutectic and hypereutectic Si-B alloys (Si-1B, Si-3.2B and Si-5.7B wt.%, respectively) were produced by electric arc melting method and then subjected to sessile drop/contact heating experiments with polycrystalline h-BN substrates, at temperatures up to 1750 °C. Similar to pure Si/h-BN system, wetting kinetics curves calculated on a basis of in situ recorded drop/substrate images point toward non-wetting behavior of all selected Si-B alloy/h-BN couples. The highest contact angle values of ~ 150° were obtained for hypoeutectic and eutectic Si-B alloys in the whole examined temperature range. © 2018, The Author(s)
Atomic level structure of Ge-Sb-S glasses: chemical short range order and long Sb-S bonds
The structure of GeSbS, GeSbS and
GeSbS glasses was investigated by neutron diffraction
(ND), X-ray diffraction (XRD), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS)
measurements at the Ge and Sb K-edges as well as Raman scattering. For each
composition, large scale structural models were obtained by fitting
simultaneously diffraction and EXAFS data sets in the framework of the reverse
Monte Carlo (RMC) simulation technique. Ge and S atoms have 4 and 2 nearest
neighbors, respectively. The structure of these glasses can be described by the
chemically ordered network model: Ge-S and Sb-S bonds are always preferred.
These two bond types adequately describe the structure of the stoichiometric
glass while S-S bonds can also be found in the S-rich composition. Raman
scattering data show the presence of Ge-Ge, Ge-Sb and Sb-Sb bonds in the
S-deficient glass but only Ge-Sb bonds are needed to fit diffraction and EXAFS
datasets. A significant part of the Sb-S pairs has 0.3-0.4 {\AA} longer bond
distance than the usually accepted covalent bond length (~2.45 {\AA}). From
this observation it was inferred that a part of Sb atoms have more than 3 S
neighbors.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Journal of Alloys and Compound
