reduced Electronegativity difference as a factor leading to the formation of al based glassy alloys with a large supercooled liquid region of 50k
Applied Physics Letters, 2006Co-Authors: D V Louzguineluzgin, Akihisa Inoue, W J BottaAbstract:The influence of the Electronegativity difference among the constituent elements on the stability of the supercooled liquid in two Al-based glassy alloys is studied. A record-large value of the supercooled liquid region of about 50K is obtained based on the Electronegativity difference concept within a certain composition range.

Electronegativity of the constituent rare earth metals as a factor stabilizing the supercooled liquid region in al based metallic glasses
Applied Physics Letters, 2001Co-Authors: Dmitri V Louzguine, Akihisa InoueAbstract:The letter describes influence of the Electronegativity of the constituent rare-earth metals on the supercooled liquid region in the Al–(Gd, Dy or Er)–Ni–Co metallic glasses. The samples were studied by x-ray diffractometry and differential scanning calorimetry. Calorimetry data for the La and Sm—bearing glasses studied earlier were also taken in consideration for comparison. It is found that supercooled liquid range in the Al85RE8Ni5Co2 alloys strongly depends upon Electronegativity of the RE metal.

correlation between optical Electronegativity and refractive index of ternary chalcopyrites semiconductors insulators oxides and alkali halides
Optical Materials, 2008Co-Authors: R R Reddy, Rama K Gopal, K Narasimhulu, Siva Sankara L Reddy, Raghavedra K Kumar, C Krishna V Reddy, Syed Nisar AhmedAbstract:Abstract Interesting relationships have been found between energy gap, optical Electronegativity and refractive index for different materials viz. elemental compounds, binary and ternary chalcopyrites, semiconductors, insulators, oxides and alkali halides. An excellent agreement has been obtained from modified Herve and Vandamme relation and the literature values. It can be observed that as the optical Electronegativity (Δχ∗) values for the group of semiconductors with the common cation decreases, their refractive index increases. Compounds with covalent nature like AlSb and ZnS have small magnitude of optical Electronegativity (Δχ∗) and relatively high refractive index. The trend is quite reverse in the case of ionic molecules. This work highlights the significance of the interrelation between energy gap, optical Electronegativity and refractive index.

Relation of certain quantum chemical parameters to lubrication behavior of solid oxides
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2005Co-Authors: Ali Erdemir, Shenghua Li, Yuansheng JinAbstract:It is well-documented that certain oxides (such as Re2O7, B2O3, MoO3,\nV2O5, etc.) can provide friction coefficients of 0.1-0.3 to sliding\nsurfaces at elevated temperatures and thus they are often referred to\nas lubricious oxides in the tribology literature. In a recently\nproposed crystal chemical model, Erdemir was able to establish a close\ncorrelation between the reported friction coefficients of such oxides\nand their ionic potentials {[}1]. In the present paper, we expand on\nthis original concept and explore the relevance of two other quantum\nchemical parameters, Electronegativity and chemical hardness, to the\nlubricity of solid oxides. These parameters have already been used by\nscientists to explain the nature of tribochemical interactions between\nvarious oil additives and sliding surfaces. It is conceivable that\nElectronegativity and chemical hardness may also be strongly related to\nthe extent of adhesive interactions and shear rheology of solid oxides\nand hence to their lubricity. The new results have confirmed that\nElectronegativity, like ionic potential, is indeed a valid quantum\nchemistry parameter that can be used in predicting the lubrication\nbehavior of solid oxides. Generally, the higher the Electronegativity\nof the solid oxides is, the lower the friction coefficients will be.\nHowever, chemical hardness did not yield a similar trend. In light of\nthese new findings, we propose some guidelines for the formulation of\nnovel oxide or alloy systems that can lead to the formation of\nlubricious oxides at elevated temperatures. The findings of this study\nmay pave the way for designer-based tribosystems in general and smart\ntribochemical systems in particular in future tribological applications\nsuch as dry machining.

Electronegativity model for barrier formation at metal organic interfaces
Applied Physics Letters, 2005Co-Authors: Jianxin TangAbstract:An Electronegativity model is proposed to characterize the variation of charge injection barrier heights at metal/organic interfaces. In contrast to the traditionally used metal work function, barrier heights at interfaces are shown to be linearly dependent on metal Electronegativity for a wide range of organic materials. The physical basis for the better suitability of Electronegativity than work function to describe barrier heights is discussed. While barrier formation is caused by charge transfer between metals and organic semiconductors, the variation of the barrier height is related to the Electronegativity difference of metals. The applicability of the Electronegativity model to compound or alloy electrodes, such as indium tin oxide having no defined Electronegativity, is also exemplified.
