• The effect of Cu and Ge additions on strength and precipitation in a lean 6xxx aluminium alloy 

      Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Røyset, Jostein; Reiso, Oddvin; Holmestad, Randi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      It has been demonstrated that the strength loss in a lean Al-Mg-Si alloy due to solute reduction could be compensated by back-adding a lower at % of Ge and Cu. Nanosized precipitate needles which are the main cause of ...
    • Structural investigation of epitaxial LaFeO_3 thin films on (111) oriented SrTiO_3 by transmission electron microscopy 

      Christiansen, Emil; Nord, Magnus Kristofer; Hallsteinsen, Ingrid; Vullum, Per Erik; Tybell, Per Thomas Martin; Holmestad, Randi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      We report on structural domains in LaFeO3 epitaxial thin films on (111) oriented SrTiO3 observed by transmission electron microscopy using low magnification dark field imaging and high resolution transmission electron ...
    • Structural investigation of precipitates with Cu and Zn atomic columns in Al-Mg-Si alloys by aberration-corrected HAADF-STEM 

      Saito, Takeshi; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Lefebvre, Williams; Holmestad, Randi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Precipitates in Al-Mg-Si alloys with Cu addition (~0.1 wt%) and Zn addition (~1 wt%) were investigated by aberration corrected high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). Most ...
    • µSR study of Al-0.67%Mg-0.77%Si alloys 

      Nishimura, Katsuhiko; Matsuda, Kenji; Komaki, R; Nunomura, Norio; Wenner, Sigurd; Holmestad, Randi; Matsuzaki, Teiichiro; Watanabe, Isao; Pratt, Francis L.; Marioara, Calin Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Zero-field muon spin relaxation measurements were carried out with Al-0.67%Mg- 0.77%Si alloys in the temperature range from 20 K to 300 K. Observed relaxation spectra were compared with the relaxation functions calculated ...
