Mechanical solid state mixing for synthesizing of SiCp/Al nanocomposites

Electronic quantization in dielectric nanolaminates

“…On the basis of the obtained absorption coefficient α(ω) a Tauc approximation is applied to determine the optical gap. In detail, by plotting the square root of the product of the absorption coefficient α(ω) and the frequency of light ω versus the photon energy, the optical gap is defined as the intersection point with the photon energy at an absorption coefficient of zero [8]. In addition, the determined optical gaps by Tauc procedure are compared to optical gap values by calculating the Urbach-energy [16].…”

“…However the structural sizes of the nano layers were not chosen small enough to generate new electronic states in the structure. Usually, these structures were used for the investigation of mechanical hardness or interface effects [8].…”

Characterization of Al Matrix SiC Reinforced Sub-Micron Composites Produced by Mechanical Alloying

“…Because of this reason a lot of studies were conducted combining advantages of Almatrix composites and MA process [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…In addition to these, Kubota [10] and Topcu et al [11], also studied on solid state reactions and mechanical properties of Al-B 4 C composite materials produced by MM, respectively. Additionally other researchers used MA/MM process to produce Al-MMCs by adding different type of ceramic reinforcing elements like SiC [12,13], and AlN [14,15].…”

Microstructural Evolution of Al Composite Powders Reinforced by Nanoand Micrometric SiC Particles During Mechanical Milling

“…Amongst different procedures, mechanical alloying (MA) has been successfully employed for the fabrication of metal matrix composites [14][15][16][17] and metal matrix nanocomposites [18][19][20][21]. Naser et al [22] have shown that this method is a novel approach for dispersion strengthening of metals by nano-oxides where the internal oxidation technique is not applicable.…”
