✦ Synopsis

Using an idealized atomic packing model for metallic glasses (MGs), we predict the binary alloy compositions structurally favorable for the stability of MGs. Such compositions are proposed to be the likely candidates to obtain MGs. The predicted compositions coincide very well with the experimental glass-forming range for a large number of systems. The relationship between these compositions and the eutectic compositions in the equilibrium phase diagrams is established. Direct correlations are found for symmetric eutectic systems, especially for deep eutectics, whereas off-eutectic MGs are suggested for asymmetric eutectic systems. Rationales from the structural standpoint are also presented to explain the increased frequency of appearance of eutectics at certain composition ratios (the Stockdale/Hume-Rothery puzzle).

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sens

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sensors with different stoichiometric compositions was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal-desorption mass spectroscopy observations combined with conductivity measurements. Three different types of film with different atomic ratios of Cd/S were used in the study of oxygen chemisorption in a low-temperature range between 300 and 570 K. Spray pyrolysis was used for the deposition of the films on glass substrates; XPS and energy dispersive spectroscopy of X-ray together with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used for the characterization of the composition and structure of the films. It was possible to distinguish different temperature ranges for the thermal desorption of the different adsorbed oxygen species. A comparison of the data from XPS and mass-spectroscopy observations with conductance measurements allows to conclude that metallic surface atoms are responsible for different interactions of oxygen species with CdS surfaces.
