Determination of Structure and Phase Transition of Light Element Nanocomposites in Mesoporous Silica: Case study of NH3BH3 in MCM-41
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 03-09-2009
DOI: 10.1021/JA904901D
Abstract: Nanocomposition of molecular crystal ammonia borane (AB) by embedding it in mesoporous silica leads to a remarkable enhancement of the hydrogen storage properties. To investigate the nature of a nanophase AB, we used atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data to follow the structural evolution of AB embedded within MCM-41 at temperatures ranging from 80 to 300 K. We found that the nanophase AB residing within the mesoporous scaffold does not undergo the structural phase transition at 225 K that was observed in the neat molecular crystal. Rather, it stays in the tetragonal phase over a wide temperature range of 110 to 240 K and starts to lose structural correlation above 240 K. This finding strongly suggests that nanoconfinement of AB within mesoporous scaffolds stabilizes the high-temperature disordered tetragonal phase at a much lower temperature. PDF analyses of composite materials composed of excess AB (i.e., AB:MCM-41 > 1:1) indicates that the excess AB forms aggregates outside the mesoporous scaffold and that these aggregates have structural properties similar to neat AB, that is, the orthorhombic-to-tetragonal structural phase transition is observed at 225 K upon warming. These results may provide important insight into the mechanism behind the enhanced hydrogen storage properties of this system.

Parametric Analysis of the Classification of Harrison Kinetics Regimes in Grain Boundary Diffusion
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
Date: 04-2010
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/DDF.297-301.1226
Abstract: Recently, the transition point between the Harrison Type-A and Type-B kinetics regimes as well as the emerging intermediate AB transition regime have been analysed in detail by making use of Lattice Monte Carlo (LMC) simulations of tracer depth concentration profiles as a function of diffusion time and distance between grain boundaries e.g. [1-3]. In the present study, we analyse Harrison Type-B to Type-C kinetics regimes in the transient grain boundary diffusion problem using the parallel slabs model and LMC numerical simulation. The transition point where the Harrison Type-B kinetics regime last occurs (transition point between the Harrison Type-B kinetics and the Type-BC kinetics) is estimated at (= 0.5δ(Dlt)-1/2) = 0.1. The Harrison Type-C grain boundary diffusion kinetics regime is also analysed using LMC simulated concentration depth profiles. The transition point where the Harrison Type-C kinetics regime first occurs (transition point between the Type-BC kinetics and the Harrison Type-C kinetics) is estimated at = 5.0. Therefore an intermediate Type-BC regime can be expected to occur between 0.1 5.0. Preliminary results for the cubic grain model show that the interval for the intermediate Type-BC regime is somewhat narrower for this model and occurs at 0.5 5.0.

Mechanical and Microstructural Characterization of an AZ91–Activated Carbon Syntactic Foam
Publisher: MDPI AG
Date: 20-12-2018
DOI: 10.3390/MA12010003
Abstract: In this study, activated carbon (AC) particles were combined with AZ91 alloy to manufacture a magnesium syntactic foam. This novel lightweight foam has a very low density, in the range of 1.12–1.18 gcm−3. The results show that no chemical reaction occurred between the AZ91 matrix and the activated carbon particles. The mechanical properties of the foam were evaluated under quasi-static compression loading conditions, and showed a consistent trend for the energy absorption of the fabricated AZ91–AC syntactic foams. The deformation mechanism of s les was a brittle fracture mode with the formation of shear bands during the fracture of all s les.

Lattice-Based Walks and the Monte Carlo Method for Addressing Mass, Thermal and Elasticity Problems
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
Date: 03-2009
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/DDF.283-286.13
Abstract: In this paper, we review the recent developed method based around lattice-based random walks and the Monte Carlo method. This method, which is now called the Lattice Monte Carlo method, permits complex phenomenological problems in diffusion, thermal conductivity and elasticity to be addressed. It is shown how the effective mass diffusivity, thermal diffusivity/thermal conductivity and the bulk modulus in composites can be calculated and also how concentration profiles and temperature profiles can be determined in situations where the diffusivity depends on position and concentration and the thermal conductivity depends on position and temperature respectively.

The Harrison Diffusion Kinetics Regimes in Grain Boundary Diffusion: Lattice Monte Carlo Modelling of the Effect of Segregation
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
Date: 03-2011
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/DDF.309-310.9
Abstract: The location of the transition points for the three main Harrison’s kinetics regimes (Type-A, B and C) for the measurement of grain boundary diffusivities from tracer concentration depth profiles (self-diffusion) has been extensively studied in (Divinski et al. Zeit. Metallk, 2002, Belova and Murch, Phil. Mag, 2001, 2009 Defect and Diffusion Forum, 2006, 2008, 2009) by making use of the phenomenological Lattice Monte Carlo numerical method. Those locations are mainly dependent on the dimensionality of the problem. For the case of impurity grain boundary diffusion, the segregation effect is very important. In the present study, the influence of segregation on the transition points is investigated for the parallel slab model (2-dimensional) of the grain boundary diffusion problem by making use of the tracer-type solution to the equivalent diffusion problem. It is shown that the Type-B regime is most likely not realized for the cases of fine-grain material with a strong segregation effect present.

DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/MSF.654-656.1476
Abstract: The Lattice Monte Carlo (LMC) method recently developed by the authors is an unusually powerful and flexible method in which a given phenomenological thermal or mass transport problem is mapped onto a fine-grained lattice which is then analyzed with discrete random walk methods. We provide an overview of the LMC method. For mass diffusion we highlight the addressing of diffusion with reversible reaction. For thermal transport we highlight a calculation of the effective thermal conductivity of sintered hollow sphere structures making use of CT scans of actual material as well as the determination of temperature profiles in phase-change composites.

Phonon Thermal Conductivity of F.C.C. Cu by Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
Date: 03-2013
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/DDF.336.169
Abstract: Phonon dynamics and phonon thermal conductivity of f.c.c. Cu are investigated in detail in the temperature range 200 1300 K within the framework of equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations making use of the Green-Kubo formalism and one of the most reliable embedded-atom method potentials. It is found that the temporal decay of the heat current autocorrelation function of the f.c.c. Cu model at low and intermediate temperatures demonstrates a more complex behaviour than the two-stage decay observed previously for the f.c.c. Ar model. After the first stage of decay, it demonstrates a peak in the temperature range 200 800 K. The intensity of the peak decreases as the temperature increases. At 900 K, it transforms to a shoulder which diminishes almost entirely at 1200 K. It is suggested that the peak may be activated by the influence of the Cauchy pressure in f.c.c. Cu on the phonon dynamics. A decomposition model of the heat current autocorrelation function of a monatomic f.c.c. lattice is introduced. This model can capture all contributions to the function discussed in the literature. It is found that the temperature dependence of the phonon thermal conductivity of the f.c.c. Cu model is in good agreement with previous calculations on the f.c.c. Ar model which follows an exponent close to-1.4, i.e. varies more rapidly than the T-1 law predicted by the theory. The calculated phonon thermal conductivity of the f.c.c. Cu is found to be about one order of magnitude higher than the f.c.c. Ar. This is explained by the inclusion of the electronic contribution to the bulk lattice properties during the fitting of the embedded-atom method potential functions to the experimental or ab initio data. It is demonstrated that the electronic contribution to the total thermal conductivity of f.c.c. Cu dominates over the whole studied temperature range. Nevertheless, the phonon contribution increases as the temperature decreases. The contribution can be estimated to be about 0.5 % at 1300 K and about 5 % at 200 K.

A comparative study of oxygen diffusion in tissue engineering scaffolds
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 14-07-2014
DOI: 10.1007/S10856-014-5264-7
Abstract: Tissue engineering scaffolds are designed to support tissue self-healing within physiological environments by promoting the attachment, growth and differentiation of relevant cells. Newly formed tissue must be supplied with sufficient levels of oxygen to prevent necrosis. Oxygen diffusion is the major transport mechanism before vascularization is completed and oxygen is predominantly supplied via blood vessels. The present study compares different designs for scaffolds in the context of their oxygen diffusion ability. In all cases, oxygen diffusion is confined to the scaffold pores that are assumed to be completely occupied by newly formed tissue. The solid phase of the scaffolds acts as diffusion barrier that locally inhibits oxygen diffusion, i.e. no oxygen passes through the scaffold material. As a result, the oxygen diffusivity is determined by the scaffold porosity and pore architecture. Lattice Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the normalized oxygen diffusivities in scaffolds obtained by the foam replication (FR) method, robocasting and sol-gel foaming. Scaffolds made by the FR method were found to have the highest oxygen diffusivity due to their high porosity and interconnected pores. These structures enable the best oxygen supply for newly formed tissue among the scaffold types considered according to the present numerical predictions.

Compressive Properties of Corevo<sup>®</sup> Foam under Uni-Axial Loading Based on Experimental and Numerical Analysis
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
Date: 07-2014
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/AMM.597.121
Abstract: This manuscript investigates the compressive properties of Corevo ® foam. Corevo ® foam is a cellular metal manufactured by the infiltration casting of salt dough with aluminium. Corevo ® foam s les with different porosities are tested by using quasi-static compression loading. Their mechanical properties (i.e.: effective Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, initial yield stress and material yield stress) are then compared to reveal the importance of the density difference. In addition, three-dimensional finite element analysis is performed on models generated from micro-computed tomography (μCT). The results of two different pore sizes are obtained and compared in the scope of this work. These numerical results are verified by comparison with the experimental analysis. A sound agreement is found. Numerical analysis in this work also includes the investigation of the mechanical material anisotropy and plastic deformation.

Oxygen diffusion in marine-derived tissue engineering scaffolds
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 06-2015
DOI: 10.1007/S10856-015-5531-2
Abstract: This paper addresses the computation of the effective diffusivity in new bioactive glass (BG) based tissue engineering scaffolds. High diffusivities facilitate the supply of oxygen and nutrients to grown tissue as well as the rapid disposal of toxic waste products. The present study addresses required novel types of bone tissue engineering BG scaffolds that are derived from natural marine sponges. Using the foam replication method, the scaffold geometry is defined by the porous structure of Spongia Agaricina and Spongia Lamella. These sponges present the advantage of attaining scaffolds with higher mechanical properties (2-4 MPa) due to a decrease in porosity (68-76%). The effective diffusivities of these structures are compared with that of conventional scaffolds based on polyurethane (PU) foam templates, characterised by high porosity (>90%) and lower mechanical properties (>0.05 MPa). Both the spatial and directional variations of diffusivity are investigated. Furthermore, the effect of scaffold decomposition due to immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) on the diffusivity is addressed. Scaffolds based on natural marine sponges are characterised by lower oxygen diffusivity due to their lower porosity compared with the PU replica foams, which should enable the best oxygen supply to newly formed bone according the numerical results. The oxygen diffusivity of these new BG scaffolds increases over time as a consequence of the degradation in SBF.

Numerical Characterization of Anisotropic Heat Sink Composites
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
Date: 06-2010
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/MSF.654-656.1500
Abstract: This work addresses the numerical analysis of anisotropic composite structures for thermal energy storage and temperature stabilization. The basic idea of heat sink composites is the combination of metallic matrices for fast energy transfer with phase change materials for thermal energy storage. Anisotropic matrices, such as lotus-type structures, allow for increased control of the thermal energy flow, without the necessity of additional thermal insulation. As an ex le, thermal energy can be directed towards a surface cooled by convection and excess energy is stored in the phase-change material. Computed tomography data of copper lotus-type material is used for the generation of the numerical calculation models. Due to its particular meso-structure, this material is characterised by strongly anisotropic properties. The void space of this cellular metal is filled with the phase-change material paraffin in order to enhance the energy storage capacity. A recently extended Lattice Monte Carlo method is used to evaluate the anisotropic thermal properties of these promising materials.
Molecular Dynamics Study of Mass Transport Properties of Liquid Cu-Ag Alloys
Publisher: Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
Date: 10-2016
DOI: 10.4028/WWW.SCIENTIFIC.NET/DF.9.58
Abstract: In this study, mass transport properties of liquid Cu-Ag alloys are investigated over wide temperature and composition ranges. The calculations are performed within the framework of the Green-Kubo (GK) formalism by using equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations along with one of the most reliable embedded-atom method potentials for this system developed by [P. Williams et al .: Modell. Simul. Mater. Sci. Eng. vol. 14 (2006), p. 817]. The approach employed allows for evaluation of the components’ self-diffusion coefficients as well as the phenomenological coefficient for mass transport Lcc. The results obtained in this study can be used to predict the kinetics of solidification of real liquid Cu-Ag alloys.
