The pseudoelasticity and the shape memory effect in CoNiAl alloys
Kopeček, Jaromír ; Jarošová, Markéta ; Jurek, Karel ; Heczko, Oleg
The cobalt alloys (close to the CoNiAl stoichiometry) are the less known shape memory alloys. Such behavior is consequence of the martensitic transformation. The pseudoelasticity is caused by the stress-induced martensitic transformation above the equilibrium martensite start temperature from high temperature cubic phase (austenite) to lower symmetry phase(martensite). In CoNiAl the pseudoelastic behavior can be obtained by the high temperature annealing. In presented work the effect of the annealing temperature on both pseudoelastic behavior and microstructure was investigated.

Studium vlivu segregovaných nečistot na magnetismus hranic zrn a povrchů v FCC niklu a kobaltu
Všianská, Monika ; Vémolová, H. ; Šob, Mojmír
Na základě výpočtů elektronové struktury z prvních principů studujeme vliv segregovaných sp nečistot (Al, Si, P, S, Ga, Ge, As, Se, In, Sn, Sb a Te) na hranici zrn (GB) 5(210) a na volném povrchu (FS) (210) fcc niklu a kobaltu. Provádíme přitom úplnou relaxaci atomové konfigurace GB a FS bez nečistot i se substitučně a intersticiálně vloženými nečistotami. Analyzujeme vliv studovaných nemagnetických nečistot na rozložení magnetického momentu, geometrické uspořádání atomů v okolí GB a FS a hustoty elektronových stavů. Vysvětlujeme také, proč při segregaci studovaných nečistot mohou být magneticky mrtvé vrstvy přítomny v niklu, ale nikoliv v kobaltu.

Strength and magnetism of Mn-Pt nanocomposites
Káňa, Tomáš ; Šob, Mojmír
Using ab initio electronic structure calculations, we have analysed Mn atoms dissolved in a platinum matrix, forming thus intermetallics MnPt3, MnPt7 and MnPt15 that can be considered as prototypes of natural Mn–Pt nanocomposites. On the whole, manganese addition makes the resulting Mn–Pt compound softer but increases its resistance to shape deformation. With increasing Mn content, both tensile and compressive theoretical strength is enhanced. In agreement with experiment, our calculations confirm the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state of the MnPt7 structure with spins directions altering along the [100] crystallographic direction (AFM [100]). In addition, we have proposed and studied three prototypes of linear MnPt15 nanocomposites consisting of Mn nanochains in the Pt matrix. Again, AFM [100] ordering was found in the ground state of MnPt15.

Vliv segregovaných nemagnetických sp-nečistot na vlastnosti hranic zrn a povrchů v niklu
Všianská, Monika ; Šob, Mojmír
V práci jsme studovali segregaci 12 nemagnetických sp-nečistot (Al, Si, P, S, Ga, Ge, As, Se, In, Sn, Sb and Te) na hranici zrn Sigma5(210) a na povrchu (210) ve feromagnetickém niklu a analyzujeme jejich vliv na strukturu a magnetické a mechanické vlastnosti. Určili jsme preferenční místa segregace atomů nečistot a vypočetli jsme jejich segregační entalpie a zkřehčovací energie včetně rozkladu na mechanickou a chemickou komponentu. Ukázali jsme, že magneticky mrtvé vrstvy na hranicích zrn a površích se segregovanými nečistotami jsou způsobené silnou hybridizací sp-stavů nečistot a d-stavů niklu.

Structure and magnetism of clean and impurity-decorated grain boundaries in nickel from first principles
Všianská, Monika ; Šob, Mojmír
We present a detailed theoretical study of segregation of sp-elements from the 3rd-5th period (Al, Si, P, S, Ga, Ge, As, Se, In, Sn, Sb and Te) at the Sigma5(210) grain boundary (GB) in fcc FM Ni. Whereas there is a slight enhancement of magnetization at the clean GB and FS with respect to bulk nickel (3–7% and 24%, respectively), the studied impurities entirely kill or strongly reduce ferromagnetism at the GB so that magnetically dead layers are formed. We determine the preferred segregation sites at the GB for the impurities studied, their segregation enthalpies and strengthening/embrittling energies. We find interstitially segregated Si and P and substitutionally segregated Al as a GB cohesion enhancer, and interstitially segregated S, Ge, As, Se and substitutionally segregated Ga, In, Sn, Sb and Te as GB embrittlers in Ni. As there is very little experimental information on GB segregation in nickel most of the present results are theoretical predictions which may motivate future experimental work.
