The fracture toughness of submicron Zr65Ni35 sputter-deposited films is thickness dependent. The failure mechanism involves corrugations for the thickest films and a transition-at 500 nm thickness-to a perfectly flat fracture surface. Both mechanisms are brittle-type, even though the elastic and plastic properties are independent of thickness and similar to the expected ductile bulk response. Finite-element simulations unravel the origin of the size effect and the transition of failure mode from the constraint on plastic dissipation. (C) 2014 Acta Materialia Inc.

Influence of substrates and e-beam evaporation parameters on the microstructure of nanocrystalline and epitaxially grown Ti thin films

Vivek Devulapalli, Hanna Bishara, Matteo Ghidelli, Gerhard Dehm, C. H. Liebscher

Summary: Investigation of titanium thin films deposited on different substrates using e-beam evaporation revealed that thin films on SiNx and NaCl substrates were nanocrystalline, while films on sapphire substrate transformed from nanocrystalline to single crystalline at higher deposition temperatures. Orientations of (0002) were predominantly observed in the single crystalline films grown on sapphire substrate, minimizing surface energy. Results were supported by resistivity measurements showing an increase in resistivity for single crystalline and nanocrystalline films.

Effect of composition and nanostructure on the mechanical properties and thermal stability of Zr100-xCux thin film metallic glasses

Andrea Brognara, James P. Best, Philippe Djemia, Damien Faurie, Gerhard Dehm, Matteo Ghidelli

Summary: Thin film metallic glasses (TFMGs) are a novel class of materials with a combination of large plastic deformation in tension and superior yield strength. However, the relationship between atomic structure and mechanical properties has not yet been fully understood. This study investigates the mechanical properties and thermal stability of amorphous Zr100-xCux TFMGs with different nanostructures, and finds that composition and nanostructure play a significant role in determining hardness, plastic behavior, and fracture resistance.

New Mechanism for Long Photo-Induced Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy in Au Nanoparticles Embedded in TiO2

Andrea Brognara, Beatrice R. Bricchi, Ludovic William, Ovidiu Brinza, Maria Konstantakopoulou, Andrea Li Bassi, Matteo Ghidelli, Nathalie Lidgi-Guigui

Summary: The photo-induced enhanced Raman spectroscopy (PIERS) effect occurs when plasmonic nanoparticles on a semiconductor are illuminated by UV light before Raman measurement. The PIERS effect typically lasts for about an hour, with the proposed mechanism being the creation of oxygen vacancies in the semiconductor to facilitate charge transfer. However, this hypothesis has not been experimentally confirmed. In this study, gold nanoparticles co-deposited with porous TiO2 as a PIERS substrate exhibit the highest measured intensity and significantly longer duration (at least 8 days). Cathodoluminescence measurements reveal two distinct mechanisms for co-deposited and drop-casted gold nanoparticles, with the oxygen vacancies hypothesis leaning towards confirmation for the latter, while the narrowing of the depletion zone explains the prolonged PIERS effect.

Swift heavy ion irradiation effect on structural, morphological and mechanical properties of Zr70Ni30 metallic glass

Wafa Boukhemkhem, Mahmoud Izerrouken, Matteo Ghidelli, Thomas Pardoen, Ali Sari, Abdel Yazid Khereddine, Ali Meftah

Summary: Metallic glass films are potential coatings in the nuclear field, but their response to irradiation needs further research. Zr70Ni30 metallic glass films were irradiated by 0.71MeV/u(129)Xe(23+) ions, and changes in structure, morphology, and mechanical properties were studied. The irradiation increased surface smoothening and corrosion resistance. AFM data showed that the surface morphology evolution was due to a transition between viscous flow and evaporation-condensation mechanism. The amorphous structure remained unaffected after irradiation. Nanoindentation revealed softening initially, followed by a slight increase in hardness and Young's modulus. At a critical dose of 0.008 dpa, the hardness increased. The inelastic thermal spike model predicted a track with a radius of 7 nm.

Optical and electronic properties of transparent conducting Ta:TiO2 thin and ultra-thin films: the effect of doping and thickness

Beatrice R. Bricchi, Maria Sygletou, Luca Ornago, Giancarlo Terraneo, Francesco Bisio, Cristina Mancarella, Lorenzo Stasi, Francesco Rusconi, Erika Mogni, Matteo Ghidelli, Paolo Biagioni, Andrea Li Bassi

Summary: This paper investigates the evolution of optical and electronic properties of Ta-doped TiO2 films with varying thickness and doping concentration, showing a high degree of tunability. The electrical properties of Ta:TiO2 films deteriorate partially when the thickness is below 20 nm, but conductive ultra-thin films can still be obtained. The optical response changes with Ta addition, leading to a blue-shift in the UV absorption band and an increase in absorption in the IR range due to free carriers.

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.
