Optical transparency in polycrystalline ceramic oxides can be achieved if the material is fully densified. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) of oxide nanoparticles leads to immediate densification with final-stage sintering. Further densification by annihilation of the isolated pores is associated with diffusional processes, regardless of the densification mechanism during the intermediate stage. Densification equations in conjunction with the concept of grain boundary free volume were used to derive the pore size grain size temperature map for designing the nanopowder and SPS process parameters to obtain transparent oxides.

A. Van der Laan, R. Epherre, G. Chevallier, Y. Beynet, A. Weibel, C. Estournes

Summary: Creep parameters for Al2O3 and TiAl samples were determined through numerical identification, with the resulting mechanical model coupled with an electro-thermal model for a fully coupled simulation of SPS. This simulation accurately predicts density gradients and interface distortion during sintering, making it an efficient tool for obtaining fully dense objects with desired geometry.

Few-layered-graphene/zirconia composites: Single-step powder synthesis, spark plasma sintering, microstructure and properties

Andreas Flaureau, Alicia Weibel, Geoffroy Chevallier, Jerome Esvan, Christophe Laurent, Claude Estournes

Summary: Carbon is deposited onto a commercial 3YSZ powder bed using chemical vapor deposition, resulting in a few-layered-graphene (FLG) film. The powders are then consolidated by spark plasma sintering, leading to FLG located along the grain boundaries of the 3YSZ matrix. Pure 3YSZ exhibits higher toughness and fracture strength compared to composites, but the toughness of composites increases with increased carbon content. The composites are electrically conducting within a certain carbon concentration range.

Reactive Spark Plasma Sintering and Thermoelectric Properties of Zintl Semiconducting Ca14Si19 Compound

Doaa Omar A. Ali, Marco Fabbiani, Loic Coulomb, Simon Bosc, Benjamin Villeroy, Camille Estournes, Claude Estournes, Michael Marek Koza, Mickael Beaudhuin, Romain Viennois

Summary: We propose a new reactive spark plasma sintering (RSPS) technique to synthesize the rhombohedral Ca14Si19 phase. The RSPS approach significantly reduces the synthesis time to a few minutes. Through electrical resistivity measurements, we determine the energy band gap of Ca14Si19 to be Eg = 0.145(15) eV. The Seebeck coefficient indicates Ca14Si19 as a room temperature p-type semiconductor, but it becomes n-type with increasing temperature due to the compound's narrow bandgap.

Thermal conductivity of binary ceramic composites made of insulating and conducting materials comprising full composition range-Applied to yttria partially stabilized zirconia and molybdenum disilicide

Federico Cernuschi, Justyna Kulczyk-Malecka, Xun Zhang, Franck Nozahic, Claude Estournes, Willem G. Sloof

Summary: This study investigated the thermal diffusivity and conductivity of dense and porous binary composites with insulating and conducting phases across the entire composition range. Experimental evaluation was performed on MoSi2 particles embedded in YPSZ through spark plasma sintering (SPS). Thermal diffusivity was measured using Flash Thermography (FT) and Laser Flash Analysis (LFA), and the thermal conductivity was determined based on heat capacity and density measurements. The volume fraction of the conducting phase was determined through X-ray map image analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while X-ray diffractometry (XRD) with Rietveld refinement determined the phases present and their density. The thermal diffusivity increased with increasing volume fraction of MoSi2. Porosity reduced the thermal diffusivity, but the effect diminished with high volume fractions of MoSi2. Modelling captured the thermal diffusivity as a function of MoSi2 volume fraction in YPSZ composites, accounting for porosity and the percolation of the conductive phase.

Simon Tardieu, David Mesguich, Antoine Lonjon, Florence Lecouturier-Dupouy, Nelson Ferreira, Geoffroy Chevallier, Arnaud Proietti, Claude Estournes, Christophe Laurent

Summary: To achieve the best balance between high strength and low resistivity, the introduction of controlled content of large copper grains in copper-silver composite wires can create fast conduction channels and result in lower resistivity. However, it also leads to a moderate decrease in the mechanical strength of the wires.

On the co-nucleation of adjoining twin pairs at grain boundaries in hexagonal close-packed materials

Darshan Bamney, Laurent Capolungo

Summary: This work investigates the formation of adjoining twin pairs (ATPs) at grain boundaries (GBs) in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals, focusing on the co-nucleation (CN) of pairs of deformation twins. A continuum defect mechanics model is proposed to study the energetic feasibility of CN of ATPs resulting from GB dislocation dissociation. The model reveals that CN is preferred over the nucleation of a single twin variant for low misorientation angle GBs. Further analysis considering GB character and twin system alignment suggests that CN events could be responsible for ATP formation even at low m' values.

Sharp/diffuse antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition regulated by atomic displacement ordering

Bing Han, Zhengqian Fu, Guoxiang Zhao, Xuefeng Chen, Genshui Wang, Fangfang Xu

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of electric-field induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition and reveals the evolution of atomic displacement ordering as the cause for the transition behavior changing from sharp to diffuse. The novel semi-ordered configuration results from the competing interaction between long-range displacement modulation and compositional inhomogeneity, which leads to a diffuse AFE-FE transition while maintaining the switching field.

Guowei Zhou, Yuanzhe Hu, Zizheng Cao, Myoung Gyu Lee, Dayong Li

Summary: In this work, a physics-constrained neural network is used to predict grain-level responses in FCC material by incorporating crystal plasticity theory. The key feature, shear strain rate of slip system, is identified based on crystal plasticity and incorporated into the loss function as physical constitutive equations. The introduction of physics constraints accelerates the convergence of the neural network model and improves prediction accuracy, especially for small-scale datasets. Transfer learning is performed to capture complex in-plane deformation of crystals with any initial orientations, including cyclic loading and arbitrary non-monotonic loading.

Relating the combinatorial materials chip mapping to the glass-forming ability of bulk metallic glasses via diffraction peak width

Ze Liu, Cai Chen, Yuanxun Zhou, Lanting Zhang, Hong Wang

Summary: This study attempts to address the gap in cooling rates between thin film deposition and bulk metallic glass (BMG) casting by correlating the glass-forming range (GFR) determined from combinatorial materials chips (CMCs) with the glass-forming ability (GFA) of BMG. The results show that the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) is a good indicator of BMG GFA, and strong positive correlations between FWHM and the critical casting diameter (Dmax) are observed in various BMG systems. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficients suggest possible similarities in the GFA natures of certain BMG pairs.
