06/21/2004 - "An X-ray study of single crystals extracted from an arc-melted Yb-Fe-Ga alloy showed that the diffraction pattern can be modeled by an intergrown crystal that has three sorts of domains: one hexagonal (1, LuFe(9.5) type) and two rhombohedral (2 a and 2 b, PrFe(7) type), the last two twinned by reticular merohedry. "

01/01/2015 - "The break-up of the Mg2Ca phase into fine and isolated particles and their uniform dispersion in the matrix greatly decreased the susceptibility of individual microgalvanic corrosion between the matrix and Mg2Ca phase and the post-deformation annealing decreased the dislocation density while forming small grains due to the presence of the finely dispersed Mg2Ca particles that reduced the grain sizes by inhibiting grain boundary motion in recrystallization, resulting in a significant improvement in the corrosion resistance of Mg-Ca alloys in Hank's solution. "
05/01/2013 - "Although the SMAT-induced grain refinement and dislocations both have positive effects on the corrosion behavior of the studied alloy, our post annealing experimental results indicate that the improved corrosion resistance is mainly due to the grain refinement."
