Surface Energy Anisotropy of Diffusion-Induced Ni3 A1 Crystals
Faceted crystals with well-defined {100}, {110}, and {1111 surfaces were observed in the interdiffusion zone during chemical interdiffusion of Ni/Ni 3 Al diffusion couple in the temperature range of 800°−1200°...

The Effect of Boron on Microhardness in Ni3 Al Polycrystals
In a recent MRS symposium, the effect of boron on grain boundary hardness (GBH) in Ni3Al was reported. Addition of 0.2 at.% of boron decreased the GBH in all three sets of alloys tested (24, 25, and 26 at.% Al). ...

Wet oxidation kinetics of AlAs at elevated temperatures
Wet oxidation in the AlAs layer sandwiched between two GaAs plates was investigated for the temperature range of 400 to 480 °C. The oxidation rate increased with increasing thickness of the AlAs layer. Theoret...

Fracture behavior of fused quartz with laser-induced internal flaws
Pulsed-laser light was used to generate internal flaws in fused quartz. The size of the flaw produced was proportional to the amount of laser pulse energy above a threshold value of 2.5 mJ. Specimens of differ...
