Abstract:
Deformation microstructure of orthorhombic-α" martensite in a Ti-7.5Mo (wt.%) alloy was investigated by tracking a local area of microstructure using scanning electron microscopy, electron back-scattered diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The as-quenched α" plates contain {111}α"-type I transformation twins generated to accommodate transformation strain from bcc-β to orthorhombic-α" martensite. Tensile deformation up to strain level of 5% induces {112}α"-type I deformation twins. The activation of {112}α"-type I deformation twinning mode is reported for the first time in α" martensite in β-Ti alloys. {112}α"-type I twinning mode was analyzed by the crystallographic twinning theory by Bilby and Crocker and the most possible mechanism of atomic displacements (shears and shuffles) controlling the newly reported {112}α"-type I twinning were proposed.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
