✦ Synopsis

Diffusion in metallic glasses and deeply undercooled liquids is analyzed using the concept of 'atomic bond deficiency' (BD). The process is considered to be thermally activated hopping of diffusing atoms between the first nearest-neighbor (NN) and the second NN positions at the BD defects. Cooperative movements of multiple adjacent atoms are required because of (1) the small extra volumes created by BD defects and (2) the short-range-only constraint. The activation energy Q depends on the bond strengths, size of diffusing atoms, the elasticity of the matrix and the effective number of the involved matrix atoms. Application to tracer diffusion in Zr-Ni and Ti-Ni shows that 10 or fewer matrix atoms may be involved, and the size effect of diffusing atoms on Q agrees with experimental measurements. Other observations, including the sharp slope of the Q versus pre-exponential factor, the isotope and pressure effects are explained.

The results straightforwardly confirm the conclusions of earlier theoretical studies in which the existence of direct metal–metal bond, anticipated for the above carbon

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.
