Abstract:

This thesis concerns the wear resistant coating TiSiN and the development of the analysis technique atom probe tomography (APT) applied to this materials system. The technique delivers compositional information through time-of-flight mass spectrometry, with sub-nanometer precision in 3D for a small volume of the sample. It is thus a powerful technique for imaging the local distribution of elements in micro and nanostructures. To gain the full benefits of the technique for the materials system in question, I have developed a method that combines APT with isotopic substitution, here demonstrated

Catalyst is a key component in the chemical industry, with more than 90% of total chemical products reliant on their use. However, the working mechanisms are in many cases still not fully understood. For heterogeneous catalysts, in which the reactions normally occur on solid phase materials, a better understanding of the catalytic surfaces, and how they evolve under reactive environments is recognised as the next step forward in the field.

Abstract:

Atom probe tomography is a high resolution microscopy technique capable of determining the 3D location and chemical identification of individual atoms within a specimen. Though it is becoming ever more popular, a number of issues with the technique are known. First, the large amount of data created by atom probe tomography experiments requires new techniques to be developed so as to conduct effective analysis. Also, atom probe tomography is not traditionally considered a tool for crystallographic analysis even though crystallographic information is known to be present in reconstructed datasets

Abstract:

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE), which results in an unpredictable failure of metals, has been a major limitation in the design of critical components for a wide range of engineering applications, given the near-ubiquitous presence of hydrogen in their service environments. However, the exact mechanisms that underpin HE failure remain poorly understood. It is known that hydrogen, when free to diffuse in these materials, can tend to concentrate at a crack tip front. In turn, this facilitates crack propagation. Hence one of the proposed strategies for mitigating HE is to limit the content of freely

Abstract:

The atom probe is an analysis technique based on the emission of ionized species from a needle-shaped sample (apex radius < 100 nm) under the influence of a very strong electric field ( 10-50 V/nm). A DC-voltage is applied on the sample in order to generate a field slightly below the one necessary to remove atoms (in the form of ions) from its surface. An ultrashort (femtosecond) laser pulse is used to trigger the emission. The evaporated ions are accelerated in the electric field and projected onto a position sensitive detector where a magnified image of the surface is formed (magnication

Abstract:

Stainless steels are very important engineering materials in a variety of applications such as in the food industry and nuclear power plants due to their combination of good mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance. However, ferrite-containing stainless steels are sensitive to the so-called ‘475°C embrittlement’, which is induced by phase separation of the ferrite phase, where it decomposes into Fe-rich ferrite (α) and Cr-rich ferrite (α'). The phase separation is accompanied with a severe loss of toughness. Therefore, the upper service temperature of ferrite-containing stainless st

Abstract:

Solute clustering is known to play a significant role in the embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels. When precipitates form they impede the movement of dislocations, causing an increase in hardness and a shift in the ductile-brittle transition temperature. Over time this can cause the steel to become brittle and more susceptible to fracture. Thus, understanding precipitate formation is of great importance to the nuclear industry. The first part of this thesis aims to isolate and better understand the thermal aging component of embrittlement in low copper, model RPV steels. Curre

Abstract:

This work is a thermodynamic and kinetic study of the Fe-Cr-Ni system as the core of stainless steels. The Fe-Cr, Fe-Ni and Cr-Ni systems were studied intensively using both computational and experimental techniques, including CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams), phase field simulation, ab initio modeling, calorimetry, and atom probe tomography. The purpose of this thesis is to reveal the complexity of the phase transformations in the Fe-Cr-Ni system via the integrated techniques. Due to the importance of the binary Fe-Cr system, it was fully reassessed using the CALPHAD technique by incor

Abstract:

Duplex stainless steels (DSSs) are important engineering materials due to their combination of good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, as a consequence of their ferrite content, DSSs are sensitive to the so-called ‘475°C embrittlement’, which is induced by phase separation, namely, the ferrite decomposed into Fe-rich ferrite (α) and Cr-rich ferrite (α'), respectively. The phase separation is accompanied with a severe loss of toughness. Thus, the ‘475°C embrittlement’ phenomenon limits DSSs’ upper service temperature to around 250°C. In the present work, Fe-Cr binary model

Abstract:

This thesis explores nanostructuring in TiSiCN, ZrAlN, and TiAlN thin films deposited by cathodic arc evaporation onto cemented carbide substrates, with intended applications for cutting tools. The three systems were found to exhibit age hardening upon annealing, by different mechanisms, into the superhard regime (≥30 GPa), as determined by a combination of electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, atom probe tomography, erda, and nanoindentation tech- niques. TiSiCN forms nanocomposite films during growth by virtue of Si segregation to the surface of TiCN nanocrystallites while simultaneously p

Abstract:

High entropy alloys (HEAs) is a concept wherein alloys are constructed with five or more elements mixed in equal proportions; these are also known as multi-principle elements (MPEs) or complex concentrated alloys (CCAs). This PhD thesis dissertation presents research conducted to develop precipitation-hardenable high entropy alloys using a much-studied fcc-based equi-atomic quaternary alloy (CoCrFeNi). Minor additions of aluminium make the alloy amenable for precipitating ordered intermetallic phases in an fcc matrix. Aluminum also affects grain growth kinetics and Hall-Petch hardenability.

Full text

Abstract:

Many properties of steels, especially those that are important for engineering purposes, are determined by their microstructures. Therefore the key driver to controlling properties of these materials lies within the characterisation and manipulation of their microstructure down to their atomic-scale structure. For industrial product development, strength and ductility are considered to be the most important properties and are highly ‘microstructure sensitive’. This thesis investigates the effect of niobium microalloying and clustering on the microstructure-property relationship of ultra-thin s

Abstract:

La Sonde Atomique Tomographique (SAT) assistée par laser (La-APT) est un outil puissant pour étudier la distribution atomique 3D des espèces chimiques dans une grande variété de matériaux semi-conducteurs. Cependant, des biais de composition importants affectent les analyses de sondes atomiques révélant une composition non stœchiométrique. Dans cette thèse, une étude systématique de certains semi-conducteurs binaires (GaN, GaAs, ZnO) et ternaires (AlGaN, MgZnO) a été menée afin de: (i) obtenir une description cohérente des biais de composition en APT; (ii) identifier les mécanismes physiques à

Abstract:

Cette thèse porte sur l'étude des phénomènes qui se produisent lors de la réaction métal-silicium (siliciuration) en couches minces et dans des nanofils. En effet, les phénomènes tels que la germination, la croissance latérale, la croissance normale et la diffusion doivent être compris pour réaliser les contacts des futurs dispositifs de la microélectronique. La comparaison entre la siliciuration en couches minces et dans les nanofils est l'un des principaux aspects de ce travail. La distribution atomique en 3D des éléments chimiques dans les différentes siliciures de Ni a été obtenue par sond
