• Aberration-corrected HAADF-STEM investigations of precipitate structures in Al-Mg-Si alloys with low Cu additions 

      Saito, Takeshi; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Lefebvre, Williams; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2014)
      Precipitates in a lean Al–Mg–Si alloy with low Cu addition (~0.10 wt.%) were investigated by aberration-corrected high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). Most precipitates were ...
    • Atomistic details of precipitates in lean Al–Mg–Si alloys with trace additions of Ag and Ge studied by HAADF-STEM and DFT 

      Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Friis, Jesper; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2017)
      Bonding energies and volume misfits for alloying elements and vacancies in multicomponent Al–Mg–Si alloys have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT). A detailed atomic scale analysis has been done for ...
    • Characterisation of structural similarities of precipitates in Mg–Zn and Al–Zn–Mg alloys systems 

      Bendo, Artenis; Maeda, Tomoyoshi; Matsuda, Kenji; Lervik, Adrian; Holmestad, Randi; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Nishimura, Katsuhiko; Nunomura, Norio; Toda, Hiroyuki; Yamaguchi, Masatake; Ikeda, Ken-ichi; Homma, Tomoyuki (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      High angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy has been employed to observe precipitate structures in Al–Zn–Mg and Mg–Zn alloys. h1 precipitate structures in Al–Zn–Mg are commonly formed by MgZn2 ...
    • CO2 adsorption on pure and oxidised Ni nano-structures deposited on mica surfaces 

      Hunvik, Kristoffer William Bø; Pacáková, Barbara; Raaen, Steinar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Adsorption and desorption of CO2 on metallic and oxidised Ni nano-structures supported on mica (muscovite) substrates have been studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ...
    • In-plane structural order of domain engineered La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films 

      Boschker, Jos Emiel; Monsen, Åsmund Fløystad; Nord, Magnus Kristofer; Mathieu, Roland; Grepstad, Jostein; Holmestad, Randi; Wahlström, Erik; Tybell, Thomas (Journal article, 2013)
      We present a detailed structural study of tensile-strained La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films. We use the substrate miscut to control the number of rhombohedral variants in the films and study the in-plane order and structural ...
    • Influence of dispersoids on microstructure evolution and work hardening of aluminium alloys during tension and cold rolling 

      Zhao, Qinglong; Holmedal, Bjørn; Li, Yanjun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The influence of dispersoids on work hardening of aluminium during tension and cold rolling has been studied by comparing Al–Mn alloys containing similar amounts of solutes but various dispersoid densities. The microstructure ...
    • Modelling work hardening of aluminium alloys containing dispersoids 

      Zhao, Qinglong; Holmedal, Bjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The influence of dispersoids on tensile deformation behaviour has been studied by comparison of aluminium alloys containing different dispersoid densities. It was found that a fine dispersion of non-shearable particles led ...
    • Structural modifications and electron beam damage in aluminium alloy precipitate θ'-Al2Cu 

      Wenner, Sigurd; Friis, Jesper; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2015)
      The –AlCu phase in an Al–4Zn–2Cu–1Mg–0.7Si (wt.%) alloy was investigated by means of scanning transmission electron microscopy. With our specific alloy composition, the phase is often formed with stacking faults on and ...
    • The Effect of Zn on precipitation in Al-Mg-Si alloys 

      Saito, Takeshi; Wenner, Sigurd; Osmundsen, Elisa; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Røyset, Jostein; Lefebvre, Williams; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2014)
      Effects of addition of Zn (up to 1 wt%) on microstructure, precipitate structure and intergranular corrosion (IGC) in an Al–Mg–Si alloys were investigated. During ageing at 185 °C, the alloys showed modest increases in ...
