The present investigation is aimed to understand the microstructure evolution of SiC p/Al Si composites, i.e. particle distribution and matrix microstructure in laser processing. Microstructures of SiC p/A356 composite and the monolithic alloy are comparatively studied through laser remelting process. It is observed that the particle remains its original distribution after re solidification, indicating rejection of particles by rapid solidification interface does not occur. The presence of particles does not lead to any change in the phase constitution and phase morphology in the matrix, but instead result in a considerable change in growth direction of primary phase. The underlying mechanism is rationalized based on the interplay between the particles and solidification interface.

The morphology of the dark and bright regions observed by transmission electron microscopy for the Zr(64.13)Cu(15.75)Ni(10.12)Al(10) bulk metallic glass strongly depends on the ion beam parameters used for ion milling. This indicates that the ion beam could introduce surface fluctuation to metallic glasses during ion milling.

Search for new thermal barrier materials with high-temperature stability is very difficult because there are intractable choices among thousands of possible candidates. The present paper shows that identifying and developing new low thermal conductivity materials can be accomplished by first-principles calculations of equilibrium crystal structure and elasticity, and thereafter making theoretical prediction of minimum high-temperature lattice thermal conductivity basing on David Clarke's method for insulating materials. We highlight a new oxynitride ceramic, Y4Si2O7N2, with a low theoretical minimum thermal conductivity of 1.12 similar to W center dot m-1 center dot K-1. The theoretical result is further validated by experimental measurement of thermal conductivity of dense and bulk Y4Si2O7N2. The experimental thermal conductivity is 1.50 similar to W center dot m-1 center dot K-1 at 1300 similar to K. Furthermore, thermal properties of Y4Si2O7N2 are investigated for evaluating its potential performances.

The local structure and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g(parallel to), g(perpendicular to) and the hyperfine structure constants A(parallel to) and A (perpendicular to) for the trigonal Co2+ center in K4CdCl6 are theoretically investigated by using the perturbation formulas of the EPR parameters for a 3d 7 ion in trigonal symmetry based on the cluster approach. In these formulas, the contributions to the EPR parameters arising from the admixture of different energy levels, covalency effect and low symmetry distortion are included. The parameters related to the above effects are obtained from the optical spectral data and the local geometrical relationship of the studied system. By analyzing the EPR spectra, we find that the impurity-ligand bonding angle beta (approximate to53.54degrees) related to the C-3-axis in the Co2+ impurity center is smaller than the corresponding metal-ligand bonding angle beta(H) (approximate to 54.90degrees) in the host K4CdCl6. From the difference Deltabeta between the bonding angle beta (or beta(H)) and the corresponding angle beta(0) (approximate to54.74degrees) in cubic symmetry, the chlorine octahedron changes from compression (Deltabeta(H) = beta(H) - beta(0) > 0) in the host to elongation (Deltabeta = beta - beta(0) < 0) in the impurity center. The calculated EPR parameters, especially the anisotropies of the g and A factors for K4CdCl6: Co2+ based on the angle beta show good agreement with the observed data. The theoretical studies on the local structure for Co2+ in K4CdCl6 would be helpful to understand the structure properties for the equivalent octahedral transition-metal M site in the isostructural A(3)M'MO6 compounds.
