The FIB gun is working again!
After about 3 months brake I can continue my research. I investigated a series of four YSZ samples this month. Samples differed by the sintering temperature. I am going to check who the grain boundary geometries look like in those sinters. Additionally, I was improving the graphical part of my PhD thesis.

Dear all, this month - in oppostion to previous one - full of progress. I have finished all corriosion experiments with as-cast samples. Morover I had a pleasure to participate in "ECS international crystallography school - introduction to tomography". I have learnt a lot about new programms and hardwere solutions in transmission electron tomography based on diffractions.

Surface phenomena in liquid binary metallic systems is performed using molecular dyanmics and Monte Carlo methods. The influence of surface composition on surface tension is analysed.

In February I continued the study of the corrosion of chosen Zn-Mo coatings on steel using the following techniques: OCP, EIS, LP.

Local ordering of the liquid binary alloys were analysed. Their influence on thermo-physical properties were also examined using molecular dynamics method and quasi-lattice theory. Computational results were discussed with available experimental data.
