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，使用具有高缺陷密度的前驱体来稳定大块铁基合金的四方形变。我们的目标是了解缺陷以及合金化对增加轻间隙元素的溶解度以稳定四方扭曲的可能性的影响。长期的目标是了解诱导的四方性如何以及为什么改变铁的物理和化学性质，以及如何利用这种改变来开发新的功能材料。

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.
