Pattern-Formation During Self-organization in Three-Phase Eutectic Solidification

Eutectic growth is an interesting example for exploring the topic of pattern-formation in multi-phase systems, where the growth of the phases is coupled with the diffusive transport of one or more components in the melt. While in the case of binary alloys, the number of possibilities are limited (lamellae, rods, labyrinth etc.), their number rapidly increases with the number of components and phases. In this paper, we will investigate pattern formation during three-phase eutectic solidification using a state-of-the art phase-field method based on the grand-canonical density formulation. The major aim of the study is to highlight the role of two properties, which are the volume fraction of the solid phases and the solid-liquid interfacial energies, in the self-organization of the solid phases during directional growth. Thereafter, we will show representative phase-field simulations of a micro-structure in a real alloy (Ag-Al-Cu) using an asymmetric phase diagram as well as interfacial properties.

Organization dependent collective magnetic properties of secondary nanostructures with differential spatial ordering and magnetic easy axis orientation

Achieving control on the formation of different organization states of magnetic nanoparticles is crucial to harness their organization dependent physical properties in desired ways. In this study, three organization states of iron oxide nanoparticles (gamma-Fe2O3), defining as (i) assembly (ii) network aggregate and (iii) cluster, have been developed by simply changing the solvent evaporation conditions. All three systems have retained the same phase and polydispersity of primary particles. Magnetic measurements show that the partial alignment of the easy axes of the particles in the network system due to the stacking aggregation morphology can result in significant enhancement of the coercivity and remanence values, while the opposite is obtained for the cluster system due to the random orientation of easy axes. Partial alignment in the aggregate system also results in noticeable non -monotonic field dependence of ZFC peak temperature (TpeaB). The lowest value of the blocking temperature (TB) for the cluster system is related to the lowering of the effective anisotropy due to the strongest demagnetizing effect. FC (Field cooled) memory effect was observed to be decreasing with the increasing strength of dipolar interaction of organization states. Therefore, the stacking aggregation and the cluster formation are two interesting ways of magnetic nanoparticles organization for modulating collective magnetic properties significantly, which can have renewed application potentials from recording devices to biomedicine.

Mechanical effects of the self-organization of dislocations and related critical characteristics

The effects of the dislocation pattern formed due to the self-organization of the dislocations in crystals on the macroscopic hardening and dynamic internal friction (DIF) during deformation are studied. The classic dislocation models for the hardening and DIF corresponding to the homogeneous dislocation configuration are extended to the case for the non-homogeneous one. In addition, using the result of dislocation patterning deduced from the non-linear dlislocation dynamics model for single slip, the correlation between the dislocation pattern and hardening as well as DIF is obtained. It is shown that in the case of the tension with a constant strain rate, the bifurcation point of dislocation patterning corresponds to the turning point in the stress versus strain and DIF versus strain curves. This result along with the critical characteristics of the macroscopic behavior near the bifurcation point is microscopically and macroscopically in agreement with the experimental findings on mono-crystalline pure aluminum at temperatures around 0.5T(m). The present study suggests that measuring the DIF would be a sensitive and useful mechanical means in order to study the critical phenomenon of materials during deformation.

La economía familiar en sistemas de producción en comunidades del área de desarrollo territorial (ADT) del Municipio de Matigúas Matagalpa: Pasantías realizadas en Abril - Octubre en Fundación Ayuda en Acción proyecto " Desarrollo de la Economía Familiar (DEF.)"

Como una forma de culminación de estudios de la carrera de Licenciatura en Desarrollo Rural, las pasantías han sido realizadas en Fundación Ayuda en Acción (AeA), en el Área de Desarrollo Territorial (ADT) del Municipio de Matiguás-Matagalpa, en el período comprendido de Abril a Octubre del 2014. La Fundación AeA es una organización No Gubernamental de Desarrollo (ONGD) independiente, aconfesional y apartidista, fundada en España en 1981. Actualmente trabaja en 21 países en Asía, África y América Latina. En Nicaragua, la Fundación AeA está presente en: Matagalpa: Matiguás, Río Blanco y Tuma-La Dalia, Región Autónoma del Atlántico Sur (RAAS): Kukra Hill, León: Telica y Quezalguaque, Boaco: Boaco y Camoapa, Madriz: Totogalpa. Los proyectos que implementa son intersectoriales, articulando acciones en educación, salud, prevención de riesgos, gobernabilidad, seguridad y soberanía alimentaria entre otros, con la finalidad de impulsar cambios estructurales que contribuyan a la erradicación de la pobreza. El pasante a través de información primaria y secundaria consideró que la Fundación AeA era el organismo idóneo para realizar sus pasantías, ya que los proyectos que implementa se ajustan al perfil de la carrera de Licenciatura en Desarrollo Rural, al mismo tiempo se visualizó las condiciones favorables para su desempeño laboral. El área de trabajo asignada al pasante estuvo enfocada en proyectos productivos, dirigidos a mejorar los ingresos de las familias, dietas alimenticias, nutrición, así como la creación de conocimientos en diferentes temáticas a través capacitaciones. Entre las funciones asignadas al pasante se menciona: Realizar un estudio económico con productores sobre establecimiento de Sistemas Agroforestales (SAF) en cultivo de Cacao, fortalecer la organización comunitaria, levantar información primaria, elaborar herramientas para el levantamiento de base de datos, facilitar eventos de capacitación, reuniones, talleres e intercambios de experiencia, recolección de mensajes a niñez auspiciados, elaboración de informes, levantar información secundaria, coordinar y planificar con el equipo técnico. El análisis del estudio socioeconómico con productores sobre SAF en Cultivo de Cacao en el proyecto Desarrollo de Economía Familiar (DEF), demostró que el productor trabajando bajo un sistema técnico adecuado podrá obtener altos rendimientos productivos de hasta 15 quintales por manzana desde los 3 años. El pasante en el proyecto DEF, seleccionó en conjunto con el equipo técnico, 186 familias de 243 fichas analizadas los cuales trabajaron en componentes sobre establecimiento de SAF, hortalizas, cultivos en parra y crianza de especies menores. El proyecto de Soberanía y Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional (SSAN), ha estado enfocado en apoyar a 255 familias en 17 comunidades, estableciendo rubros, mejorando la calidad y consumo de agua (entrega de Rotoplas) a las familias y enriqueciendo sus conocimientos a través de capacitaciones en diferentes temas de género, comunicación asertiva, elaboración de alimentos, compartiendo experiencias con otras zonas de nuestro país. El pasante obtuvo lecciones como Identificación de diferentes actores locales en el municipio de Matiguás, como AeA, Alcaldía, Fundeser y Nitlapán, a través de iniciativa propia priorizó y gestionó las pasantías en la fundación AeA, relación con el equipo técnico recibiendo un proceso de inducción. La Fundación AeA debería continuar impartiendo talleres de capacitación en el ADT. En cuanto al desarrollo de las pasantías es necesario que desde un inicio se establezcan coordinaciones y planes entre la universidad y la institución donde el pasante desempeñara sus funciones.
