For the fabrication of core-shell structure bimetallic lead-free solder balls, both the critical temperature ($T_{cr}$) for the phase separation of two immiscible liquid phases and the temperature coefficient of the interfacial tension between the two separated liquid phases are required. In order to obtain this information, the temperature dependence of the surface tension of 60%Bi-24%Cu-16%Sn(-REM) alloys was measured using the constrained drop method. The slope of the temperature dependence of the surface tension changed clearly at a critical temperature for the separation of two immiscible liquid phases. The critical temperature of the 60%Bi-24%Cu-16%Sn alloy was estimated to be 1097K. An addition of 0.05% Ce decreased the critical temperature to 1085K, whereas that of 0.05% La increased it to 1117K. It was found that the surface tension and its temperature coefficient of the 60%Bi-24%Cu-16%Sn alloy were slightly increased by the addition of 0.05% Ce and 0.05% La. In addition, additions of Ce and La increased the temperature coefficient of the interfacial tension.

The mechanical alloying effect has been studied on the three Cu-based alloy systems with a positive heat of mixing. The extended bcc solid solution has been formed in the Cu-V system and an amorphous phase in the Cu-Ta system. However, it is round that a mixture of nanocrystalline Cu and Mo Is formed in the Cu-Mo system. The neutron diffraction has been employed at a main tool to characterize the detailed amorphization process. The formation of an amorphous phase in Cu-Ta system can be understood by assuming that the smaller Cu atoms preferentially enter into the bcc Ta lattice during ball milling.

Nanocrystalline materials of Ni and Ni-Cu alloy have been synthesized by the pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method and these abnormal magnetic properties in the magnetic ordered state have been characterized using both VSM and SQUID in the range of high and low magnetic fields. Ni and Ni-Cu particles with an average size of 20 to 80 nm were found to influence magnetic hysterisis behavior and the results of powder neutron diffraction patterns and saturation magnetization curves are shown to indicate the absence of the NiO phase. The shifted hysterisis loop and irreversibility of the magnetization curve in the high field region were observed in the magnetic-ordered state of both Ni and Ni-Cu. The virgin magnetization curve for Ni slightly spillover on the limited hysterisis loop ($\pm$20kOe). This irreversibility in the high field of 50 kOe can be explained by non-col-linear behavior and the existence of the metastable states of the magnetization at the surface layer (or core) of the particle in the applied magnetic field. Immiscible alloy of Cu-Ni was also found to show irreversibility having two different magnetic phases.

Iron and copper are practically immiscible in the equilibrium state, even though their atomic radii are similar. As non-equilibrium solid solutions, the metastable Fe-Cu alloys can be synthesized using special methods, such as rapid quenching, vapor deposition, sputtering, ion-beam mixing, and mechanical alloying. The complexity of these methods (multiple steps, low productivity, high cost, and non-eco-friendliness) is a hinderance for their industrial applications. Electrical explosion of wire (EEW) is a well-known and effective method for the synthesis of metallic and alloy nanoparticles, and fabrication using the EEW is a simple and economic process. Therefore, it can be potentially employed to circumvent this problem. In this work, we propose the synthesis of Fe-Cu nanoparticles using EEW in a suitable solution. The powder shape, size distribution, and alloying state are analyzed and discussed according to the conditions of the EEW.

We studied Nb growth mode on Cu(100) surface by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at room temperature. Nb/Cu is immiscible at room temperature and thus is an ideal system for studying surface alloy formation. Initially deposited Nb atoms are incorporated subsurface on Cu(100). After annealing, they are preferentially found at step edges and appear as bright dots surrounded by dark rings. Ordering emerges from step edges as annealed. Ordered ({{{{ SQRT { 5} }$\times${{{{ SQRT { 5} }}}})R 26.6$^{\circ}$phase Nb structure is formed at $\theta$<0.2ML after annealing to 50$0^{\circ}C$. At higher coverage, $\theta$>0.25, annealing leads to p(2$\times$2) phase. due to large mismatch in lattice parameters, the domain is limited to a few tens of nm2. Growth kinetics of the system will be discussed.

본 연구에서는 순 Cu 및 Nb 혼합분말에 대하여 Ar 분위기 중 고에너지 볼밀처리를 실시하여 기계적 합금화(MA) 효과를 조사하였다. $Cu_xNb_{100-x}$(x=5-50) 조성의 혼합분말을 각각 120시간까지 MA 처리 한 결과, Cu의 bcc-Nb 과포화 고용체가 30 at% Cu까지 넓어짐을 X선 회절분석, DSC 열분석 및 저온비열 측정을 통한 초전도 천이온도 변화로부터 알수 있었다. 120시간 MA 처리한 $Cu_{30}Nb_{70}$ 조성합금의 열분석 결과 broad한 발열반응만이 관찰되었으며, 볼밀처리에 의하여 계에 축적되는 에너지는 볼밀시간에 따라 증가하여 7.5kJ/mol 에 포화됨을 알 수 있었다. Miedema et al.의 계산에 의하면 $Cu_{30}Nb_{70}$ 혼합분말과 과포화 고용체의 자유에너지 차가 7kJ/mol이며, 본 연구에서 MA에 의하여 계에 축적된 에너지 값과 거의 같은 사실로부터 이 계에서 열역학적으로 과포화 고용체가 충분히 얻어질 수 있음을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, ultrafine grained (ufg, typically 100 > d > 500 nm) Ti-Fe eutectic materials have been highlighted due to their extraordinarily high strength and good abrasion resistance compared to conventional coarse grained (cg, d > $1{\mu}m$) materials. However, these materials exhibit limited plastic strain and toughness during room temperature deformation due to highly localized shear strain. Several approaches have been extensively studied to overcome such drawbacks, such as the addition of minor elements (Sn, Nb, Co, etc.). In this paper, we have investigated the influence of the addition of Gd and Y contents (0.3-1.0 at.%) into the binary Ti-Fe eutectic alloy. Gd and Y are chosen due to their immiscibility with Ti. Microstructural investigation reveals that the Gd phase forms in the eutectic matrix and the Gd phase size increases with increasing Gd content. The improvement of the mechanical properties is possibly correlated to the precipitation hardening. On the other hand, in the case of Ti-Fe-Y alloys, with increasing Y contents, primary phases form and lamellar spacing increases compared to the case of the eutectic alloy. Investigation of the mechanical properties reveals that the plasticity of the Ti-Fe-Y alloys is gradually improved, without a reduction of strength. These results suggest that the enhancement of the mechanical properties is closely related to the formation of the primary phase.

자자들은 최근 비고용 Cu-Ta계의 기계적 합금화(Mechanical Alloying) 방법을 이용하여 이계에 있어서 비정질상의 형성에 대한 구조적 확인을 중성자 회절과 EXAFS(Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure)의 실험결과로 부터 얻었다. Cu-Ta계와 같이 혼합 엔탈피(Heat of Mixing: $\Delta$ Hmix)가 정인계에 있어서 비정질상 형성에 대한 연구는 구조적인 측면 뿐만 아니라. 시료의 전자물성에 대해서도 많은 연구가 되어야만 할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 120시간 MA방법으로 제작한 시료에 대하여 초전도 천이온도 및 X선 광전자분광 실험에서 얻은 가전자대 구조의 전자물성을 측정하고, 그 결과로부터 이종원자 Cu와 Ta간의 결합은 화하결합에 의한 생성임을 확인하였는데, 이들 결과로부터 120시간 MA를 행하여 얻어진 시료는 확실하게 비정질 합금임을 알 수 있었다.
