Toward Tetragonalisation of Bulk Fe-Based Alloys with High Defect Population (C03)

在这个项目中，我们将超越传统的加工技术，使用具有高缺陷人口的前驱体来稳定块状铁基合金的四方畸变。我们的目的是了解缺陷和合金对增加光间隙元素的溶解度以稳定四方畸变的可能性的影响。长期目标是了解铁的物理和化学性质是如何以及为什么被诱导的四方性改变的，以及如何在开发新的功能材料中利用这一点。

In this project, we will to look beyond the conventional processing techniques and use precursors with high defect population for stabilizing tetragonal distortions in bulk Fe-based alloys. We aim to understand the impact of defects as well as alloying on the possibility to increase solubility of light interstitial elements for stabilizing tetragonal distortions. The long-term goal is to understand how and why the physical and chemical properties of iron are altered by the induced tetragonality and how this can be exploited in development of novel functional materials.
