Strain effects on the intersubband transitions in GaN/AlN multiple quantum wells grown by low-temperature metal organic vapor phase epitaxy with AlGaN interlayer
The strain in low-temperature-grown GaN/AlN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) have been tailored by inserting an AlGaN interlayer between an AlN template and the MQWs, for the purpose of intersubband tran...

Atom-probe tomography (APT) and first-principles calculations are employed to investigate the partitioning of Hf in the gamma[prime](L12)/gamma(fcc) phases in two multicomponent Ni-based superalloys. APT results indicate strong partitioning of Hf atoms to the gamma(fcc)-phase. We perform first-principles calculations of the substitutional formation energy of Hf for a model gamma(Ni)/gamma[prime](Ni3Al) system indicating Hf partitioning to the gamma[prime]-phase. Additional calculations of the Hf–Cr binding energy suggest, however, that Cr atoms, which partition to the gamma-phase, have a strong attractive binding energy with Hf atoms, thus predicting a reversal of the Hf partitioning in favor of the gamma-phase due to alloying with Cr. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
