High Temperature Oxidation Resistance of Off-Stoichiometric (Ni39.6Co29.3Cr10Al15.8Ta3.3Nb2)98.5B1.5 Chemically Complex Intermetallic Alloy
Metals and Materials International. 2026. Vol. 32. P. 3767–3775.
Off-stoichiometric boron-doped chemically complex intermetallic alloys (CCIMAs) have recently emerged as a new avenue for overcoming the low temperature brittleness of ordered superlattices. However, their behavior at high temperatures remains unexplored. In this study, a novel (Ni39.6Co29.3Cr10Al15.8Ta3.3Nb2)98.5B1.5 CCIMA was prepared and its oxidation resistance over a wide temperature range (500 °C–950 °C) was studied. The sample exhibited a dual-phase microstructure consisting of ordered L12 grains and a disordered Cr-rich BCC phase at the grain boundaries. The CCIMA sample demonstrated outstanding oxidation resistance at 500 °C, 750 °C, and 950 °C, showing no signs of pest oxidation and exhibiting low mass gain rates of 8.05 × 10-5 mg2 cm-4 h-1, 8.97 × 10-5 mg2 cm-4 h-1 and 5.39 × 10-4 mg2 cm-4 h-1, respectively. At temperatures above 700 °C, Al2O3 and CrTaO4 oxide layers formed on the surface, significantly hindering further oxidation of the sample. This study demonstrates how chemical composition can be exploited to synergistically develop protective oxide layers on the surface of CCIMAs.

We derive the local pressure tensor generated by the original Rosenfeld fundamental measure theory (FMT) for hard-sphere fluids from an arbitrary infinitesimal deformation. The variation of a finite-distance FMT kernel is written via the line integrals of the local deformation gradient along the straight segment connecting its end points. The resulting symmetric pressure tensor consists ...

Методами рентгеноструктурного анализа и механических испытаний на растяжение исследованы особенности формирования анизотропии механических свойств, текстуры и фазового состава тонколистовых сплавов Al–4,3Cu–1,4Li–0,4Mg и Al–1,8Li–1,8Cu–0,9Mg. Установлен различный тип анизотропии прочностных свойств сплавов: нормальный (прочность в долевом направлении выше, чем в поперечном) для сплава Al–4,3Cu–1,4Li–0,4Mg и обратный для сплава Al–1,8Li–1,8Cu–0,9Mg. Показано, что на анизотропию прочностных свойств влияет не ...

We study coherent electric manipulation of magnetic field induced localized states at a double kink of a helical edge in a HgTe/CdHgTe quantum well. An in-plane magnetic field opens a gap in the one-dimensional (1D) edge spectrum, while changes in the edge orientation generate localized in-gap states at the kinks. We show that, for suitable ...

We propose a microscopic scheme that allows to describe ac Josephson effect in superconducting junctions
in terms of dissipative quantum dynamics of subgap Andreev bound states. This approach is particularly useful
for highly transparent junctions at subgap bias voltages in which case a nontrivial combination of Landau-Zener

Conformational space of polyphenylenevinylene oligomers is systematically investigated computationally at energies relevant for room temperature dynamics in a solvent and in a solid state. Our calculations show that optimal oligomer structures are essentially planar. However, lack of a deep minimum at the planar geometry allows for large molecular deformations even at very low temperatures. At ...

Dynamic disorder manifested in fluctuations of charge transfer integrals considerably hinders charge transport in high-mobility organic semiconductors. Accordingly, strategies for suppression of the dynamic disorder are highly desirable. In this study, we suggest a novel promising strategy for suppression of dynamic disorder—tuning the molecular electrostatic potential.

On supercooling a liquid, the viscosity rises rapidly until at the glass transition it vitrifies into an amorphous solid accompanied by a steep drop in the heat capacity. Therefore, a pure homogeneous liquid is not expected to display more than one glass transition. Here we show that a family of single-component homogeneous molecular liquids, titanium ...
