Effect of high-pressure oxygen on the mechanical properties of alloys

Unnotched and notched tensile properties of stressed and unstressed specimens of wrought 316 stainless steel, Incology 903, Monel K-500, and cast specimens of Inconel 718 were examined. Environmental tests were performed in atmospheric pressure air, high pressure nitrogen, and high pressure oxygen. Results show that oxygen did not alter the tensile properties of any of the alloys studied.

In situ friction and wear behavior of rubber materials incorporating various fillers and/or a plasticizer in high-pressure hydrogen

Polymers are used routinely for equipment and infrastructure in hydrogen vehicle refueling stations, but significant gaps remain in understanding their hydrogen compatibility. The tribological properties of these materials in a high-pressure hydrogen environment is important in preventing component failure and the need for frequent replacement. We present in situ tribological studies on model rubbers, which include common fillers and plasticizer, using an in situ tribometer developed previously. Results suggest a clear, yet complicated, combined effect of the high-pressure hydrogen and the additives on the tribological performance of the chosen materials, as compared to matching experiments performed in ambient air. We find that the additives improved wear resistance in EPDM but deteriorated that in NBR due to disparate additive-polymer interactions.

Ammonia-water mixtures at high pressures - Melting curves of ammonia dihydrate and ammonia monohydrate and a revised high-pressure phase diagram for the water-rich region

The phase relations of some mixtures of ammonia and water are investigated to create a phase diagram in pressure-temperature-composition space relevant to the geophysical study of bodies in the outer solar system. The mixtures of NH3(x)H2O(1-x), where x is greater than 0.30 but less than 0.51, are examined at pressures and temperatures ranging from 0-6.5 GPa and 125-400 K, respectively. The ruby luminescence technique monitors the pressure and a diamond-anvil cell compresses the samples, and the phases are identified by means of normal- and polarized-light optical microscopy. The melting curve for NH3H2O(2) is described by the equation T = 176 + 60P - 8.5P squared for the ranges of 0.06-1.4 GPa and 179-243 K. The equation for NH3H2O is T = 194 + 37P - P squared, which represents a minor correction of a previous description by Johnson et al. (1985). Observed phase transitions are consistent with the high-pressure stability limit of NH3H2O(2), and the transition boundary is found to be linear.

Cesium-mediated electron redistribution and electron-electron interaction in high-pressure metallic CsPbI3

Abstract Electron-phonon coupling was believed to govern the carrier transport in halide perovskites and related phases. Here we demonstrate that electron-electron interaction enhanced by Cs-involved electron redistribution plays a direct and prominent role in the low-temperature electrical transport of compressed CsPbI 3 and renders Fermi liquid (FL)-like behavior. By compressing δ-CsPbI 3 to 80 GPa, an insulator-semimetal-metal transition occurs, concomitant with the completion of a slow structural transition from the one-dimensional Pnma (δ) phase to a three-dimensional Pmn 2 1 (ε) phase. Deviation from FL behavior is observed upon CsPbI 3 entering the metallic ε phase, which progressively evolves into a FL-like state at 186 GPa. First-principles density functional theory calculations reveal that the enhanced electron-electron coupling results from the sudden increase of the 5d state occupation in Cs and I atoms. Our study presents a promising strategy of cationic manipulation for tuning the electronic structure and carrier scattering of halide perovskites at high pressure.

High‐Pressure Phase Stability and Thermoelastic Properties of Iron Carbonitrides and Nitrogen in the Deep Earth

Abstract Iron‐dominant metallic phases are likely the primary hosts for nitrogen in the reduced deep Earth, hence the storage of nitrogen in the lower mantle and the core is governed by the behavior of the Fe‐N‐C system at high temperatures and pressures. In this study, phase transitions and thermoelastic properties of iron carbonitrides were investigated at high pressure‐temperature conditions by diamond anvil cell experiments and first‐principles calculations. Experimental data revealed no phase transition in ε ‐type Fe 4 (N 0.6 C 0.4 ) or Fe 7 (N 0.75 C 0.25 ) 3 up to 60 GPa at room temperature. At high temperature, Fe 7 (N 0.75 C 0.25 ) 3 transforms into the Fe 3 C‐type phase at ∼27 GPa, and then into the Fe 7 C 3 ‐type phase at ∼45 GPa, which is also corroborated by our theoretical calculations. We found that the phase stability of iron carbonitrides mainly depends on the N/C ratio, and the elastic properties of iron carbonitrides are dominantly affected by the Fe/(N+C) ratio. Iron carbonitrides with diverse structures may be the main host for nitrogen in the deep mantle. Some iron carbonitride inclusions in lower mantle diamonds could be the residue of the primordial mantle or originate from subducted nitrogen‐bearing materials, rather than iron‐enriched phases of the outer core. In addition, our experiments confirmed the existence of Fe 7 C 3 ‐type Fe 7 C 3 ‐Fe 7 N 3 solid solutions above 40 GPa. Fe 7 C 3 ‐type Fe 7 (C, N) 3 has comparable density and thermoelastic properties to its isostructural endmembers and may be a promising candidate constituent of the Earth's inner core.

Schottky contacts on ultra-high-pressure-annealed GaN with high rectification ratio and near-unity ideality factor

Here we investigate the electrical characteristics of Ni Schottky contacts on n-type GaN films that have undergone ultra-high-pressure annealing (UHPA), a key processing step for activating implanted Mg. Contacts deposited on these films exhibit low rectification and high leakage current compared to contacts on as-grown films. By employing an optimized surface treatment to restore the GaN surface following UHPA, we obtain Schottky contacts with a high rectification ratio of ~10 9 , a near-unity ideality factor of 1.03, and a barrier height of ~0.9 eV. These characteristics enable the development of GaN junction barrier Schottky diodes employing Mg implantation and UHPA.
