Matrix Isolation Studies of High-Temperature Species Group II Chlorides

Description: A matrix isolation technique for the investigation of infrared absorption spectra of molecules of hightemperature species trapped in a pseudo- gas phase'' is described. The spectra of the dichlorides of zinc, cadmium, and mercury in argon, krypton, and xenon matrices are reported. Presence in the gas phase of dimers of zinc chloride and mercuric chloride is noted. An absorption band, previously reported as due to the degenerate bending motion of zinc chloride, is attributed to zinc dimer. (auth) more

The Mechanism of the Martensite Burst Transformation in Single Crystals of Iron Containing 31.7 Per Cent Nickel

Description: The martensite burst transformation was studied in single crystals of iron containing 31.7% nickel. It was found that the morphology of the transformation was greatly simplified in crystals that had heen strained plastically prior to transformation. This simplification made possible detaiied crystallographic studies of the morphology of the transformation. These studies showed that the autocatalysis responsible for the burst transformation had its origin in a mechanical stimulation (coupling) b… more

Deformation and Fracture of Polycrystalline Lithium Fluoride

Description: Techniques for forming polycrystalline LiF from the melt and for fabricating test specimens were developed and evaluated using single-crystal LiF as a control. Large -grain polycrystalline specimens tested in fourpoint loading always showed some plastic deformation (0.078 to 0.798%) before fracture, but the plastic flow was sharpiy reduced from that of single crystals. An etch was developed revealing dislocations on all crystallographic faces of LiF. Details of plastic deformation in polycrysta… more
