Ab initio study of MF2 (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) rutile-type compounds using the periodic unrestricted Hartree-Fock approach

The ab initio periodic unrestricted Hartree-Fock method has been applied in the investigation of the ground-state structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the rutile-type compounds MF2 (M=Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni). All electron Gaussian basis sets have been used. The systems turn out to be large band-gap antiferromagnetic insulators; the optimized geometrical parameters are in good agreement with experiment. The calculated most stable electronic state shows an antiferromagnetic order in agreement with that resulting from neutron scattering experiments. The magnetic coupling constants between nearest-neighbor magnetic ions along the [001], [111], and [100] (or [010]) directions have been calculated using several supercells. The resulting ab initio magnetic coupling constants are reasonably satisfactory when compared with available experimental data. The importance of the Jahn-Teller effect in FeF2 and CoF2 is also discussed.

Investigação da Interface Metal-Porcelana da Liga Ni-Cr-Mo Soldada a LASER

The interface formed between the metal and the porcelain of a LASER welded Ni-Cr-Mo alloy was studied. The characterization was carried out through optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray dispersive spectroscopy-EDS and mechanical testing by three-point flexion test-TPE in the region LASER welded with and without the porcelain. The porcelain adhesion with the alloy alone is possible after the oxidation of the metallic surface and subsequent application of an adhesive called opaco. The applied porcelain, on the base metal and fusion zone presented some distinct behaviors. After the TPF test the base metal presented fractures while that in the fusion zone was completely gone. One noticed that the region submitted to the LASER welding showed less porcelain adhesion than the region of the base metal due to the microestructural refinement of the fusion zone. These results can be evidenced by the EDS of the studied regions. The TPF had demonstrated that the Ni-Cr-Mo alloy submitted to the LASER welding, undergone significant alterations in its mechanical properties after the application of the porcelain.

Efeito de adições de Ni e Mg sobre o comportamento térmico, mecânico e elétrico de ligas Al-Cu-Fe solidificadas unidirecionalmente

Este trabalho estudou a influência dos teores dos solutos Mg e Ni na modificação das propriedades térmicas, elétricas e mecânicas de uma liga Al-Cu-Fe para aplicação como condutor de energia elétrica. Para a realização do presente estudo, as ligas foram obtidas por fundição unidirecional horizontal, a partir da base do alumínio de pureza comercial com adição dos teores 0,05%p Cu e [0,24 a 0,28]%p Fe. Tal base foi modificada em uma primeira etapa com teores de 0,45, 0,60 e 0,80%p Mg. As ligas obtidas com estes teores tiveram suas propriedades estudadas para que se selecionasse um teor de Mg para posterior adição de Ni à liga. O estudo destas propriedades na primeira etapa passou pela análise das propriedades térmicas: velocidade de solidificação (V_L) e taxa de resfriamento (Ṫ). A caracterização elétrica estudou a propriedade condutividade elétrica (φ) e o levantamento das propriedades mecânicas: limite de resistência à tração (σ) e microdureza Vickers (HV). A liga com adição de Ni passou por tratamentos térmicos de envelhecimento, por 1, 4 e 8h. Estas amostras foram analisadas em um microscópio eletrônico de varredura - MEV pelos sinais de elétrons retroespalhados – ERE e espectroscopia de energia dispersiva – EDS. Como resultados do estudo, encontrou-se que adições de Mg influenciaram significativamente a viscosidade das ligas, elevando as velocidades de solidificação nos instantes finais. Os ensaios de microdureza das amostras envelhecidas mostraram que houve um acréscimo significativo de dureza na quarta hora de envelhecimento, da mesma forma que as análises de EDS mostraram que a concentração de Ni também elevou-se nesta condição de tratamento.

Propriedades magnéticas de nanoestruturas de metais de transição 3d adsorvidas na superfície de Pt(111)

Neste trabalho, utilizamos o método de primeiros princípios, RS-LMTO-ASA (“Real Space - Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital - Atomic Sphere Approximation”), baseado na Teoria do Funcional da Densidade (DFT) e implementado para o cálculo de estruturas magnéticas não-colineares, para investigar as propriedades magnéticas de nanoestruturas de metais de transição 3d (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co e Ni) adsorvidas na superfície de Pt(111). Diferentes geometrias como adátomos, dímeros, trímeros, fios lineares e zig-zag foram consideradas e, o tamanho dos aglomerados foi variado de 2 a 7 átomos. Mostramos que os aglomerados de Fe, Co e Ni sobre a superfície de Pt(111), para todas as geometrias simuladas, apresentam um ordenamento ferromagnético. Devido à redução do número de coordenação presente na superfície, os momentos de spin e orbital nos sítios de Fe, Co e Ni, para as diferentes geometrias, mostram-se elevados comparados com os respectivos valores dos momentos destes metais como bulk. Para os glomerados de Cr e Mn mostramos que a interação de troca antiferromagnética entre primeiros vizinhos leva a um ordenamento antiferromagnético colinear no caso de geometrias lineares. No entanto, se o antiferromagnetismo é frustrado por restrição geométrica imposta aos aglomerados pela superfície triangular do substrato, obtém-se um comportamento magnético não-colinear para aglomerados de Cr e Mn sobre a Pt(111). Nossos resultados estão em boa concordância com os resultados experimentais da literatura e com os resultados teóricos obtidos por outros métodos, quando existentes.

In-situ XANES experiments on Ni K-edge in mesoporous ZrO2-CeO2:Ni.

Ordered mesoporous ZrO2-CeO2 mixed oxides are potential candidates for catalytic applications. These systems, used as anodes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), may lead to better performance of SOFCs, due to an enhancement on surface area, aiming to achieve a lower working temperature. The aim of this studies is to evaluate the reduction capacity of Ni2+ to Ni in ZrO2-x(mol)%CeO2 (x=50 and 90) samples impregnated with 60(wt.)%NiO. The synthesis was made with Zr and Ce chloride precursors, HCl aqueous solution, Pluronic P123, NH4OH to adjust the pH (3-4) and a teflon autoclave to perform a hydrothermal treatment (80oC/48h). The samples were dried and calcined, until 540oC in N2 and 4 hours in air. The NiO impregnation was made with an ethanol dispersion of Ni(NO3)£6H2O. The powder was calcinated in air until 350oC for 2 hours. Temperature-resolved XANES data at the Ni K-edge were collected at the DXAS beam line of the LNLS in transmission mode, using a Si(111) monochromator and a CCD detector. Sample preparation consisted of mixing »6mg of the powder samples with boron nitride and pressing into pellets. The data were acquired during an experiment of temperature programmed reduction (TPR) under a 5% H2/He until 600oC and mixtures of 20%CH4:5%O2/He, at temperatures from 400 to 600oC. All the reactions were monitored with a mass spectrometer. The data was analyzed with a linear combination fit of 2 standards for each valence number using Athena software. The Ni K-edge experiments demonstrated that for both contents of CeO2, NiO embedded in the porous zirconia-ceria matrix reduces at lower temperatures than pure NiO, revealing that the ZrO2-CeO2 support improves the reduction of impregnated NiO. Ni was oxidized to NiO after all reactions with methane and oxygen. Hydrogenated carbonaceous species were detected, but under reducing conditions, the hydrocarbon compounds are removed. The reaction of total oxidation of methane CH4:O2 (1:2 ratio) was observed at lower temperatures (around 400oC) for both samples.

Mineralogy, chemistry and stable isotope composition of hydrothermal altered sheeted dikes of ODP Hole 111-504B

During ODP Leg 111 Hole 504B was extended 212 m deeper into the sheeted dikes of oceanic Layer 2, for a total penetration of 1288 m within basement. Study of the mineralogy, chemistry, and stable isotopic compositions of the rocks recovered on Leg 111 has confirmed and extended the previous model for hydrothermal alteration at the site: axial greenschist hydrothermal metamorphism was followed by seawater recharge and subsequent off-axis alteration. The dikes are depleted in 18O (mean delta18O = +5.1 ? +/- 0.6 ?) relative to fresh mid-ocean ridge basalt. Oxygen isotopic data on whole rocks and isolated secondary minerals indicate temperatures during axial metamorphism of 250°-350°C and water/rock ratios about one. Increasing amounts of actinolite with depth in the dike section, however, suggest that temperatures increased downward in the dikes. Pyrite + pyrrhotite + chalcopyrite + magnetite was the stable sulfide + oxide mineral assemblage during axial alteration, but these minerals partly re-equilibrated later at temperatures less than 200°C. The dikes sampled on Leg 111 contain an average of 500 ppm sulfur, slightly lower than igneous values. The delta34S values of sulfide average 0?, which indicates the presence of basaltic sulfide and incorporation of little or no seawater-derived sulfide into the rocks. These data are consistent with models for the presence of rock-dominated sulfur in deep hydrothermal fluids. The presence of anhydrite at 1176 m within basement indicates that unaltered seawater can penetrate to significant depths in the crust during recharge.
