Diffusional Growth Control and Stabilization of Nano sized Minority Phase Using Nanoparticles in Bulk Immiscible Materials during Solidification
Abstract
Major Goals: The objectives of this proposal are to conduct fundamental study on diffusional growth control and stabilization of minority droplets using nanoparticles to obtain nano-sized minority phase in bulk immiscible material samples under practical cooling rates for casting (i.e. only up to a few hundreds of Kevin/s). Typical analogimmiscible material systems, such as transparent succinonitrile (SCN)-carbontetrabromide (CTB), and etallic Zn-Bi and Al-Bi, will be used for the fundamental study. Fundamental knowledge gained through the proposed theoretical and experimental studies will provide a scientific guideline for unprecedented practical processing of numerous bulk immiscible materials with nano-sized minority phases, which will offer novel functionalities for important technical applications. This study could also push the frontier of diffusional growth control for nanocrystalline materials to a new level by providing a novel, general methodology.
