Ultrasonic attenuation in superconducting molybdenum-rhenium alloys.

Investigation of longitudinal sound attenuation in superconducting Mo-Re alloys as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and frequency. Evaporated thin film CdS transducers were used for the measurements at frequencies up to 3 GHz. The normal state attenuation coefficient was found to be proportional to the square of frequency over this frequency range. Measurements in zero magnetic field yielded a value of the energy gap parameter close to the threshold value of 3.56 kTc, appropriate to a weakly coupled dirty limit superconductor.

Reflectance of evaporated rhenium and tungsten films in the vacuum ultraviolet from 300 to 2000 A.

Discussion of the dependence of the reflectance of Re and W on the substrate temperature during deposition, film thickness, and aging during exposure to air. Re and W of 99.99% purity were evaporated with a 6-kW fine-focused electron gun and deposited on glass and fused quartz plates of various temperatures ranging from 40 to 500 C. With Re, films of highest reflectance were obtained by evaporation onto unheated substrates, whereas with W, heating of the substrate greatly increased the reflectance of the deposited films. For both metals, the reflectance losses during extended exposure to air remained rather small, indicating that the oxide films formed on both film materials at room temperature were very thin.

Composition effects on mechanical properties of tungsten-rhenium-hafnium-carbon alloys

The mechanical properties of rod and sheet fabricated from arc melted W-4Re-Hf-C alloys containing up to about 0.8 mol percent hafnium carbide (HfC) were evaluated in the as-worked condition. The DBTT's of electropolished bend and tensile specimens were independent of HfC content in this range but dependent on excess Hf or C above that required for stoichiometric HfC. Low temperature ductility was a maximum at Hf contents slightly in excess of stoichiometric. Variations in high temperature strength were also dependent on excess Hf and C. Maximum creep strengthening also occurred at Hf contents in excess of stoichiometric. Analysis of extracted second phase particles indicated that creep strength was reduced by increasing WC content in the HfC particles.

The problems of growth of single crystals of rhenium and iridium dioxides

Research is reported on the following: (1) growth of IrO2 and ReOx by the vapor phase method, in which a measured flow of oxygen gas carries the vapor products of the pure metals from a hot zone to a cold zone in a two temperature zone furnace; and (2) growth of IrO2 and Re2O7 single crystals by the chemical vapor transport method.
