List of precipitation hardened alloys and shape of precipitate

  List of precipitation hardened alloys and shape of precipitate S. No Alloy Precipitate Shape Reason for the shape Reference 1 Inconel 718 Delta phase Plate To reduce strain energy (caused due to lattice miss fit, the b direction length is different from the matrix) it grows in plate like structure because Mahadevan, S., Nalawade, S., Singh, J.

Role of Microstructure on Optical Properties

     Role of Microstructure on Optical Properties                                               Key words- Anti reflective surface (ARS), Bioinspired, Optical properties. I. INTRODUCTION The Optical properties of a material can be defined as how the material interacts with light but strictly speaking it is the response of a material to the electromagnetic radiation. The major optical properties are Refraction, Polarization, Reflection, Absorption etc.      With the advent of the silicon age the demand for the materials which shows excellent optical properties are needed which helps in increasing the efficiency of data transfer (optical fibers), Energy production (Solar cells), etc. This paper explains the recent development in the materials microstructure leading to a humongous changes in optical properties, it also discuss how this micr...
