Surface energies of the solid solutions between Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W

Equilibrium shape of nickel crystal

“…Therefore, the drastic shift induced by carbon may not be attributed to the adsorption of carbon on the surface but a solid solution of carbon into the nickel lattice, because the interstitial type of solid solution as in the case of the current study is known to decrease the binding energy of the system, resulting in a negative shift in the XPS spectra [33][34][35]. In fact, a number of reports in the literature have implicitly indicated that a solid solution has a significant influence on the changes in surface energies [36][37][38][39]. Especially in the case of systems involving an interstitial solid solution, the surface energy decreases as the level of solid solution increases [38].…”

Thermal and physical properties of Al–Ni–Ru–M alloys

“…The last two columns show the results of BANN and MCAS simulations after annealing at room temperature. As mentioned above, the BANN simulations show generally a better match with experiment, as observed in previous applications of the method [21][22][23][24][25][26]. The MCAS results, on the other hand, are included for reference only, as they allow for what can be interpreted as infinite diffusion, thus resulting in a phase structure that does not necessarily match that found experimentally.…”

“…Some of these parameters have been used and validated in previous applications of BFS to the study of the effect of ternary alloying additions to NiTi [21], TiPd and TiPt [22], AuTi [23] and AlRu [24], ternary NiTiX alloys [25], and extensive surface energy studies of binary alloys [26].…”

Deformation behavior of Re alloyed Mo thin films on flexible substrates: In situ fragmentation analysis supported by first-principles calculations

“…The theoretical fracture toughness is an intrinsic material property, which is related to the surface energy, γ , and the elastic modulus, E , both obtained from DFT calculations. The surface energy as a function of the alloying content can usually be described with a sinusoidal function, but some deviations may occur due to electronic and strain effects 33 . Here, a slow increase in the surface energy for a low Re content and a larger increment at larger Re contents is observed, which is at least partly due to strain effects (see Fig.…”
