Revealing the influence of Mo addition on interphase precipitation in Ti-bearing low carbon steels
No full textMo is widely used as an effective microalloying element to improve mechanical performance of interphase precipitation steels, but the precise role of Mo in interphase precipitation behavior is not fully understood. In this contribution, interphase precipitation behavior in a series of Ti-Mo-bearing low carbon steels is systematically studied, and the role of Mo in interphase precipitates and its coarsening behavior is revisited. It is found that (Ti, Mo)C precipitates instead of TiC are formed in the Mo-containing alloys, and the average site fraction of Mo in (Ti, Mo)C is almost independent of the bulk Mo content. Moreover, the number density of interphase precipitates can be substantially enhanced by a minor addition of Mo, albeit it does not further rise with increasing the bulk Mo content. This is because the Mo fraction in (Ti, Mo)C rather than the bulk Mo content governs the driving force for precipitation nucleation and the interfacial energy of the (Ti, Mo)C/α and (Ti, Mo)C/γ interfaces. In addition to the reduced interfacial energy, decrease of Ti trans-interface diffusivity has been identified as another key reason for the enhanced carbide coarsening resistance in Mo-containing alloys.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Novel Aerospace Material
Studies on Bis(imido) molybdenum complexes containing unsaturated hydrocarbon ligands
Full text linkThis thesis describes the synthesis and characterisation of molybdenum bis(imido) complexes containing unsaturated hydrocarbon ligands. A principal objective of the work was to examine the effect of various imido substituents on the coordination number of the complex and the orientations adopted by olefin and acetylene ligands. Chapter One highlights areas of transition metal chemistry relevant to the thesis, with particular emphasis on the psuedo-isolobal analogy between cyclopentadienyl and imido ligands, A convenient one-pot synthesis of molybdenum bis(imido) complexes of the type Mo(NR)(NR')Cl(_2).DME (R=R'=l-adamantyl, 2-t- BUC(_6)H(_4); R=2,6-i-Pr(_2)C(_6)H(_3), R'=t-Bu) is described in Chapter Two. Mo(N-l- adamantyl)(O)Cl(_2).DME has been synthesised, and its structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.- The preparation of olefin complexes Mo(NR)(NR')(C(_2)H(_4))(PMe(_3))n (R=R'=l-adamantyl, n=l; R=R'=2-t-BuC(_6)H(_4), n=2; R=2,6-i-Pr(_2)C(_6)H(_3), R'=t- Bu, n=l) is outlined in Chapter Three. Structural information derived from NMR data has allowed comparison with metallocene-like olefin adducts. Chapter Four describes the synthesis of complexes containing σ-bound phenyl ligands (Mo(NR)(NR')(σ-C(_6)H(_5))(PMe(_3)) (R=R'=l-adamantyl, 2-t-BuC(_6)H(_4); R=2,6-i-Pr(_2)C(_6)H(_3), R'=t-Bu)) as potential precursors to benzyne complexes. Chapter Five describes the preparation of diphenylacetylene complexes Mo(NR)(NR')(PhC=CPh)(PMe(_3)), structural information derived from NMR data allows comparison with previously known metallocene-like acetylene complexes.

Avatars of the author in Mo Yan's novels
No full textL’écrivain chinois Mo Yan a mis en scène dans son œuvre romanesque des avatars de l’auteur, identifiés à lui par le nom dans deux romans et par le rôle de créateur du récit dans plusieurs récits. Ces représentants ne sauraient être identifiés à l’auteur empirique, mais peuvent être interprétés à l’aune de ce que représente pour nous l’auteur, au sens large, ou dans une visée individuelle, lorsque nous analysons leur caractérisation en fonction d’autres textes, fictifs ou référentiels, construisant la figure biographique, théorique et fantasmatique de l’auteur. Outre qu’elle joue sur l’aporie de sa présence dans la fiction, cette représentation métafictionnelle a des fonctions diverses. Dans Le Pays de l’alcool, elle souligne l’allégorie tout en déjouant la censure ; dans La Dure Loi du karma, elle brosse un portrait comique du romancier, reflétant ses différents rôles pour le lecteur et la société. La suite de l’étude porte sur des narrateurs révélant un statut de créateur du récit, de sorte qu’ils provoquent une distanciation et un doute sur leur situation diégétique, en les associant à une tendance métafictionnelle présente dans l’œuvre de Mo Yan depuis son premier roman long, Le Clan du sorgho rouge, où elle est l’effet d’un narrateur omniscient et présent dans l’univers de la fiction. Ces figures d’autorité thématisent l’imagination à l’œuvre, tout en signalant l’altérité de la figure de l’auteur que le lecteur infère de ses indices supposés. Elles représentent l’auteur en une logique non référentielle, comme produit d’un ensemble mouvant d’hypothèses, issues d’une interprétation des récits comme éléments constitutifs de l’œuvre.In his fictional works, Chinese novelist Mo Yan created avatars of the author, who are either identified by their name such as the characters Mo Yan in The Republic of Wine and in Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out or by a creative role they reveal, in other narratives. Both doubles, Mo Yan’s fictional homonyms, cannot be considered as the empirical author, and yet may be interpreted in the light of what the author means to us, whether in a broad or individual sense, when their characteristics are confronted with the biographical, theoretical and fantasmatic figure of Mo Yan which other texts create. Drawing attention to the aporetical presence of the author in a universe he created, metafictional author representations have various functions. In The Republic of Wine, it enlights the allegorical value of the novel and, to the real author, is a means to deter censorship. In Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out, Mo Yan is a parody of a novelist, where the role he plays for the reader and in society appear in a nutshell. Next, the sign of the author is to be extended to other narrators who reveal, more or less explicitly, that they create the narrative, thus inducing readers to suspend belief and reconsider their diegetic posture. Beginning with his first long novel Red Sorghum, metafiction has been an obsessive tendency in Mo Yan’s novels, making imagination a theme of the novel while suggesting the figure of the author a reader infers from the text is but a shifting body of hypotheses, which envision narratives a part of the whole works that make the author

Compositive role of refractory element Mo in improving strength and ductility of face-centered-cubic complex concentrated alloys
No full textComplex concentrated alloys (CCAs) with a face-centered-cubic (FCC) structure exhibit remarkable mechanical properties, introducing the expansion of compositional space in alloy design for structural materials. The formation of a single solid-solution phase is enabled by configuring various 3d-transition elements, while doping other elements even of a small portion generally leads to the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds. Herein, we demonstrate through a systematic investigation of single FCC (CoNi)100-xMox alloys that a wide range of refractory element Mo can simultaneously improve the strength and ductility while sustaining the solid-solution structure. The addition of Mo with a larger atomic size than those of 3d-transition elements introduces severe lattice distortion in the FCC lattice and causes grain-boundary segregation enriched by Mo atoms. In addition, increasing Mo content effectively reduces the stacking fault energy (SFE). The increased lattice distortion with Mo content enhances the solid-solution strengthening of the alloys. Besides, along with reduced SFE and stabilization of the dislocation emission site by grain-boundary segregation, this elevated solid-solution strengthening increases grain-boundary strengthening, reaching a yield strength of ∼1 GPa. Moreover, the reduction of SFE with increasing Mo results in the transition of dislocation substructures and the refinement of deformation twins, allowing for enhanced strain-hardening capability and thus ∼1.3 GPa tensile strength and ∼50% ductility. Such compositive and synergetic effects of refractory element Mo enable the CCAs with a single FCC solid solution to overcome the strength and ductility trade-off.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Team Marcel Sluite
First-principles study of magnetic properties in Mo-doped graphene
No full textThe geometric structure, electronic structure and magnetic properties of substitutionally Mo-doped graphene are studied based on first-principles calculations. Mo introduces a magnetic moment of 2 mu(B) in graphene. The magnetic properties and band structure can be well understood using a hybridization model. Magnetic coupling between two Mo impurities is also discussed. Depending on the relative position of the two Mo impurities, the ground state of the system can be ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic or paramagnetic. A Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY)-like behavior is observed when the distance between Mo atoms is relatively large. However, when the distance between Mo atoms is rather small, the RKKY model is not suitable to describe the magnetic ordering due to their non-neglectable direct interactions
Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
Full text linkThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
Position-Controlled Fabrication of Vertically Aligned Mo/MoS<sub>2</sub> Core–Shell Nanopillar Arrays
No full textThe fabrication of 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), in geometries beyond the standard platelet-like configuration exhibits significant challenges which severely limit the range of available morphologies. These challenges arise due to the anisotropic character of their bonding van der Waals out-of-plane while covalent in-plane. Furthermore, industrial applications based on TMD nanostructures with non-standard morphologies require full control on the size-, morphology-, and position on the wafer scale. Such a precise control remains an open problem of which solution would lead to the opening of novel directions in terms of optoelectronic applications. Here, a novel strategy to fabricate position-controlled Mo/MoS2 core–shell nanopillars (NPs) is reported on. Metal-Mo NPs are first patterned on a silicon wafer. These Mo NPs are then used as scaffolds for the synthesis of Mo/MoS2 core/shell NPs by exposing them to a rich sulfur environment. Transmission electron microscopy analysis reveals the core/shell nature of the NPs. It is demonstrated that individual Mo/MoS2 NPs exhibits significant nonlinear optical processes driven by the MoS2 shell, realizing a precise localization of the nonlinear signal. These results represent an important step towards realizing 1D TMD-based nanostructures as building blocks of a new generation of nanophotonic devices.QN/Conesa-Boj LabQN/Kuipers LabQN/Quantum Nanoscienc
