      • PhD report (May 2012) J.Poplewska
        31/05/12
        This month, I was preoccupied with preparations for a business trip - organizing travel, accommodation, etc. in order to participate in the Conference 'Oxford Instruments EBSD Symposium and Workshop 2012' held between 22-24 May 2012 in Wiesbaden-Schlangenbad.I was also working on preparati

        Attempts were made to embossing pattern on a copper disc, completed only a partial success. Due to the high melt of the strong deformation pattern is only partially extruded. However, it was discovered the cause of this difficulty - an outside company doing the matrix does not leave room for the flo

      • PhD report K. Kubok (May 2012)
        30/05/12
        My research in May:
        The new alloy with slightly changed composition has been prepared: Mg-3Zn-0.2-Ca. I have developed this as cast alloy to check the possibility of finding the new ternary or binary phase. In all previous Mg-Zn-Ca phase only one ternary phase has been found: Mg6Ca2Zn3.The allo

        29/05/12
        An application of molecular dynamics simulations: the microcanonical and canonical ensembles, to liquid metals and alloys. A design of potential to physico-thermodynamic and structural studies for liquid metals and alloys.

        28/05/12
        In 23-24 May 2012 I attended in Oxford Instruments EBSD Symposium and Workshop, Wiesbaden 2012.

        My participation in the Symposium was related to the presentation of research results of AA1050 aluminium alloy after 1 hour annealing in selected temperatures previously deformed by ECAP. My r

      • plasmonic cells efficiency improvement confirmed
        22/05/12
        I would like to confirm the efficiency improvement due to effective light scattering from plasmonic nanostructures. My experiments were carried out on nontexturised silicon solar ells. In both cases when silver nanopaticles were deposited on bare cell surface or within antireflection layer increase

      • Conference EMRS Strasburg 2012 - Report
        22/05/12
        About 5 pm on the first day of scientific trip I got to the Cap Europe, where I was accommodated. The conference should begin on Monday 14 of May but on Sunday Young Scientist Tutorial on characterization techniques for thin film solar cells took place then and I wanted to participate in this event

      • April - short report
        21/05/12
        In April I had an opportunity to give a talk in our institute about my work and planned PhD thesis. I spend quite a lot of time preparing my slides and putting my knowledge in right order. Then I wrote and submitted an abstract for the XXII Conference on Applied Crystallography concerning frequencie

        20/05/12
        May, May May…just reflecting on this shortest of months, in terms of the number of characters in its name of course! In May I cooked mostly that is to say I busied myself with preparing a concoction. I mixed together ethanol and orthoposphoric acid, which was to give a solution badly needed for maki

      • MTEX Workshop
        18/05/12
        I attended a workshop titled "Texture Analysis with MTEX emphasasing EBSD Data Analysis" which took place in Freiberg, Germany at the TU Bergakademie. The most interesting part focused on reconstruction and analysis of 3D EBSD data, in particular on grain reconstraction, meshing and smooth

      • PhD report G. Kulesza (April'12)
        17/05/12
        Last month I prepared an article which will be published in the journal 'Elektronika'. In addition I prepared samples (silicon wafers) that will be etched during the research internship on Wroclaw University of Technology in June.

      • PhD report (April 2012) A.Mzyk
        10/05/12
        The last month started from the Fool’s Day like it takes place every year. I am an ideal candidate for being a victim of cruel jokes of fate. Therefore at the beginning of the month every step in my studies was a complete disaster. Fortunately there was light somewhere at the end of the tunnel...

        The most interesting event this month was the „FEI DualBeam Users Club Meeting” in Eindhoven. I took part in it to have a look into the direction of development of the latest equipment. During the meeting I have received answers to few questions concerning 3D EBSD measurements and data processing. R

      • PhD report (April 2012) M. Gajewska
        07/05/12
        In april I took part in the 16th Seminar „COMPOSITES 2012 - Theory and practice” (Poraj, 18-20 of April 2012). I gave a presentation there entitled “Microstructure and mechanical properties of AA7475/AlN compacts with varied reinforcing particles size”. That’s why, last month I mainly focused on pre

      • PhD report (April 2012) J.Poplewska
        07/05/12
        My research carried out in April:
        - preparing the surface of the AA3004 aluminium alloy for EBSD/SEM measurements: grinding on abrasive papers (it was need to take off 1 mm of the surface)and polishing using diamond pastes and electropolishing.
        - obtaining EBSD orientation maps for the AA3

      • reaserch in April
        07/05/12
        In April I continued the study of stability of homogeneous Zn(II)-Mo(VI) citrate solutions, the study of electrochemical properties of citrate complexes presented in examined solutions and the study of the kinetics and mechanism of electroreduction of Zn and Mo citrate complexes, by cyclic voltammet

        02/05/12
        In April I wrote a abstract titled „EBSD/SEM investigation of microstrain fields and microstructures in pure zinc extruded by KoBo method”. The abstract was prepared for workshop „ELECTRON PROBE MICROANALYSIS OF MATERIALS TODAY - PRACTICAL ASPECTS” held by European Microbeam Analysis Society in Padu
