Driven Alloys

A Numerical Study on Composition Pattern Formation in Immiscible Alloys under Irradiation Condition

“…(1). Estimation of these parameters would be required for the microscopic information about a specific system.…”

“…The term "driven systems" has been introduced to refer to these systems. 1) A typical example of an evolving non-equilibrium system is given by materials under irradiation. Irradiation can create a variety of different phenomena, such as collision cascades, cascade damage, and radiation-enhanced diffusion, depending sensitively on the actual experimental condition.…”

“…1) For instance, spontaneous formation of metallic nanostructures under irradiation have been recently observed in Au/SiO 2 and Pt/SiO 2 .…”

Light-induced phase separation in the [Fe(ptz)6] (BF4)2spin-crossover single crystal

“…Historically, the light-induced self-organization has been addressed first in the fields of photochemical reactions of solids [1][2][3] and ion-irradiation-induced spinodal decomposition in metal alloys [4]. In the field of research on spin-crossover, the question of a possible phase separation during the thermal or light-induced spin transition (see ref.…”

On the similarity of macromolecular responses to high-energy processes: mechanical milling vs. irradiation

“…Structural modifications such as amorphization and order-disorder transitions in metallic systems can be driven by either irradiation or mechanical alloying [35,36], and are sufficiently similar that they can be mathematically described in identical fashion [37,38]. In semicrystalline polymeric materials, irradiation generally induces defects into, and progressively collapses, the crystalline lattice, which is accompanied by a reduction in the melting point [21,23].…”
