The theory of collectivization of valence electrons is used to estimate the characteristic values of pressure that may cause the superconductivity of hydrogen compounds (hydrides) at room temperatures. The calculated values are compared with experimental data obtained during the study of LaH10 compounds: Тc ≈ 250 K, Р ≈ 170 GPa.
The phenomenon of low-temperature homogenization (LTH) during interdiffusion is studied under condition a t Dv £ 2 / 1 ) ( (Dv is the bulk diffusion coefficient, a is the lattice parameter) using nano-objects of binary Cu-Ni and Cr-Ni systems compacted from nano-powders and produced by mechanical alloying. Two stages of LTH were detected: at the first stage (t £ 103 s) the volume fraction of solution rapidly grows; at the second stage (t > 103 s) the volume fraction of solutions grows slowly with practically constant average solution concentration. The first stage of LTH correlates with active grain growth caused by small size (l) of structural element and nonequilibrium structure of nano-objects. Obtained results are analyzed theoretically in terms of interdiffusion along migrating GBs due to grain growth at the first stage and DIGM mechanism at the second stage. It is shown that the GB concentration distribution during interdiffusion along migrating GBs and the kinetics of LTH depend on a parameter l/l where 2 / 1 ) / ( b b V sD d l= is the
characteristic diffusion length. The mechanisms and criteria of LTH are proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
