Abstract

Here, we report martensitic shear transformation of strongly segregated block copolymer micelles on face-centered cubic (FCC) lattices to hexagonally close-packed (HCP) structures elucidated by X-ray scattering characterizations. The initial FCC crystal structures of the block copolymer micelles were prepared by direct dissolution of poly(1,2-butadiene-b-ethylene oxide) (PB-PEO) diblock copolymer in the water at 25 °C, and the FCC crystal domains were shear-aligned during the sample preparation process for the X-ray scattering measurements. Heating the shear-aligned FCC crystals of the PB-PEO micelles above 80 °C initiated the transformation to HCP structures, which are also found stable at 25 °C when cooled from the transition temperature. Interestingly, we found that the HCP crystal domains are also aligned, and this suggests that the FCC-to-HCP phase transition has occurred by the martensitic shear transformation. Scattering pattern analysis reveals that the martensitic shear transformation proceeds by preferentially dislocating a specific set of two-dimensional hexagonal close-packed (2D-HCP) layers among four equivalent 2D-HCP layers of the initially shear-aligned FCC crystals. We believe that the selective martensitic shear transformation originates from the orthorhombic-like morphology of the FCC crystal domains formed by slip dislocations and stratifications of initial FCC crystal grains during the sample preparation process.

Close-packed block copolymer micelles induced by temperature quenching

Journal Article Chen, Liwen ; Lee, Han Seung ; Lee, Sangwoo - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Close-packed structures of uniformly sized spheres are ubiquitous across diverse material systems including elements, micelles, and colloidal assemblies. However, the controlled access to a specific symmetry of self-assembled close-packed spherical particles has not been well established. We investigated the ordering of spherical block copolymer micelles in aqueous solutions that was induced by rapid temperature changes referred to as quenching. As a function of quench depth, the quenched self-assembled block copolymer micelles formed three different close-packed structures: face-centered cubic (fcc), random stacking of hexagonal-close-packed layers (rhcp), and hexagonal-close-packed (hcp). The induced hcp and rhcp structures were stable for at least amore »« less

Structural transformations in the Stranski-Krastanov growth of Mg on Mo(001)

Journal Article Gallagher, M C ; Fyfield, M S ; Joyce, S A - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

The epitaxy of Mg, a hexagonal-closed-packed (hcp) metal in the bulk, onto a room-temperature body-centered-cubic Mo(001) substrate is investigated. A Stranski-Krastanov, layer by layer followed by islands, growth mode is observed including the initial stabilization of a metastable face-centered-cubic (fcc) phase of Mg. Layer by layer growth persists for four layers. During growth of the first and second layer the highly corrugated surface potential and lattice mismatch both act to limit island size, and growth proceeds via nucleation and growth of small two-dimensional islands. Third- and fourth-layer growth proceeds by step flow. The increase in the diffusion constant necessary formore »« less

Pore orientation effects on the kinetics of mesostructure loss in surfactant templated titania thin films

Journal Article Das, Saikat ; Nagpure, Suraj ; Garlapalli, Ravinder K. ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP

The mesostructure loss kinetics are measured as a function of the orientation of micelles in 2D hexagonal close packed (HCP) columnar mesostructured titania thin films using in situ grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS). Complementary supporting information is provided by ex situ scanning electron microscopy. Pluronic surfactant P123 acts as the template to synthesize HCP structured titania thin films. When the glass substrates are modified with crosslinked P123, the micelles of the HCP mesophase align orthogonal to the films, whereas a mix of parallel and orthogonal alignment is found on unmodified glass. The rate of mesostructure loss of orthogonallymore »« less

Swelling and Helium Bubble Morphology in a Cryogenically Treated FeCrNi Alloy with Martensitic Transformation and Reversion after Helium Implantation

Journal Article Zhang, Feifei ; Boatner, Lynn A. ; Zhang, Yanwen ; ... - Materials

A cryo-quenched 70 wt % Fe-15 wt% Cr-15 wt% Ni single-crystal alloy with fcc (face centered cubic), bcc (body centered cubic), and hcp (hexagonal close packed) phases was implanted with 200 keV He⁺ ions up to 2 × 10¹⁷ ions·cm⁻² at 773 K. Surface-relief features were observed subsequent to the He⁺ ion implantation, and transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize both the surface relief properties and the details of associated “swelling effects” arising cumulatively from the austenitic-to-martensitic phase transformation and helium ion-induced bubble evolution in the single-crystal ternary alloy. The bubble size in the bcc phase was found tomore »« less

Layering, melting, and recrystallization of a close-packed micellar crystal under steady and large-amplitude oscillatory shear flows

Journal Article López-Barrón, Carlos R., E-mail: carlos.r.lopez-barron@exxonmobil.com ; Wagner, Norman J. ; Porcar, Lionel - Journal of Rheology

The rheology and three-dimensional microstructure of a concentrated viscoelastic solution of the triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide){sub 106}-poly(propylene oxide){sub 68}-poly(ethylene oxide){sub 106} (Pluronic F127) in the protic ionic liquid ethylammonium nitrate are measured by small angle neutron scattering (SANS) under flow in three orthogonal planes. This solution's shear-thinning viscosity is due to the formation of two-dimensional hexagonal close-packed (HCP) sliding layer structure. Shear-melting of the crystalline structure is observed without disruption of the self-assembled micelles, resulting in a change in flow properties. Spatially resolved measurements in the 1–2 plane reveal that both shear-melting and sliding are not uniform across the Couettemore »« less
