The paper presents the results of the Bi₅Ti₃FeO₁₅ multiferroic phase stability analysis during high-energy ball milling aimed at obtaining fine dispersion ceramic powder. The X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy methods were used to analyse the structure and verify the degree of crystallite dispersion. Structural data analysis was carried out using the Rietveld method. To carry out the analysis of the morphology, the scanning electron microscopy was used. The results that were obtained showed that the high energy ball milling process results in the decomposition of the initial ceramics, where finally Bi₅Ti₃FeO₁₅ and Bi are obtained. An increase in the proportion of the amorphous phase and an increase in the dispersion of the grains and crystallites of the powder that occurs with an increase in the milling time were observed.

The study presents the results of the influence of high energy milling on the structure of the new Ti-15Mo-5Sn [wt%] alloy for biomedical applications. During testing the powders were milled for the following milling times: 5, 15, 30, and 45 h. The milled powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy methods. Observation of the powder morphology after various stages of milling leads to the conclusion that with the increase of the milling time the size of the powder particles as well as the degree of aggregation change. However, a clear tendency of particles reduction at every stage of the mechanical alloying process is clearly observed. The X-ray diffraction results confirmed the presence of the α and β phases, and molybdenum. It has been found that the reflections from the Sn phase disappeared after five hours of milling, suggesting that the Sn and Ti alloying took place, leading to the creation of a titanium-based solid solution. After 30 and 45 h of mechanical alloying the formation of the β-Ti phase, the final share of which is 46(4) wt%, was observed. Furthermore, it was found that a diffraction line broadening with the increase of the milling time results from reduction of the crystallite size and an increase in the lattice distortion. The maximum level of the reduction of the crystallite size was obtained after 45 h of milling. The maximum degree of the unit cells reduction for all phases present in the powder that was being milled was also observed for this milling time.

Magnetoelectric multiferroics are materials which exhibit both magnetic order and ferroelectricity in the same phase. Multiferroic materials, where ferroelectricity and magnetism coexist, were extensively studied. This class of materials offers a large application potential for new devices due to the two coupled degrees of freedom based on the local off-centered distortion and the electron spin. The studied Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15} ceramics was prepared by conventional synthesis and hot uniaxial pressing reaction applying the conventional mixture of TiO_2, Fe_2O_3 and Bi_2O_3 oxides as precursor materials. The present work focuses on the structure analysis of multiferroic Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15} ceramics performed by X-ray diffraction method, scanning electron microscopy and the Mössbauer spectroscopy methods.

The aim of the present work is the analysis of microstructure, dielectric permittivity and thermal properties analysis of Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15} ceramics obtained by two methods. The studied Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15} ceramics were prepared by conventional synthesis and hot uniaxial pressing reaction from the conventional mixture of oxides, viz. TiO_2, Fe_2O_3, Bi_2O_3. The studied material has layered perovskite like structures, first described by Aurivillius in 1949 and Subbaro in 1969. The ceramic Bi_5Ti_3FeO_{15} is known to contain a series of compounds with the general formula: Bi_{m+1}Fe_{m-3}Ti_3O_{3m+3}. The X-ray diffraction methods were used for qualitative phase analysis of studied samples. The morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy method. The thermal properties of the studied materials were measured using the differential thermal analysis at a constant heating rate of 15 K/min under an argon protective atmosphere. Thermal dependence of dielectric permittivity was studied between room temperature and 1137 K.

Nickel-free titanium alloys are a promising research direction in the field of biomedical materials. Current literature reports indicate that there is a possibility of using the Ti-Ta alloys in medicine since these alloys have had satisfactory results as far as biocompatibility, resistance to corrosion and mechanical properties are concerned, which is an important aspect while considering the use of this alloy for long-lasting bone implants. This article presents the results of a high-energy milling process with the use of Ti and Ta powders. The ball-milling process was carried out for various times, including 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 h. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The research confirmed partial synthesis of the materials during the process of high energy ball milling.

Electrolytic Ni-Mo alloy coatings were obtained from the galvanic bath, at the temperature of T= 60°C under galvanostatic conditions using a cathodic current density of j= 80 mA cm¯². Surface morphology was studied using a scanning electron microscopy. Chemical composition of obtained coatings was determined by the energy dispersive spectroscopy. Structural studies were carried out using an X-ray diffraction method. Electrochemical corrosion resistance tests were carried out in 5% NaCl solution. It was found that X-ray diffraction investigations of all obtained coatings showed the characteristic "halo", which suggests that the obtained deposits have an amorphous structure. Chemical composition and corrosion resistance of the electrolytic Ni-Mo coatings depend on the concentration of Na₂MoO₄· 2H₂O in a galvanic bath. With the increase of the molybdenum content in the alloy coatings, their corrosion resistance increases.

The aim of this study was to obtain the second generation TiO₂ nanotubes on the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy. Anodic oxidation of the alloy under study was carried out in 1 M (NH₄)₂SO₄ electrolyte under voltage-time conditions of 20 V for 120 min. The morphological parameters of the obtained nanotubes of second generation such as the length (L), internal (D_{i}) and outer (D_{o}) diameter of nanotube were determined. It was found that the anodic oxidation of the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy conducted under proposed conditions allowed to obtain the single-walled nanotubes of the following geometrical parameters: the internal diameter 61 nm, outer diameter 103 nm, and the length 3.9 μm. The total surface area of the single-walled nanotubes was equal to 4.1 μm², and the specific surface area per cm² (A_{s}) was estimated to be 15.6 cm²/cm². Formation mechanism, structure and optimal morphological parameters of the obtained single-walled nanotubes on the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy have been discussed in detail.

In this work, the electrophoretic deposition method has been developed for the fabrication of bioactive alginate coatings on the surface of Ti15Mo implant alloy. Thin ZnO film was deposited cataphoretically as the interlayer prior to anaphoretic deposition of alginate (Alg) which was performed from aqueous solution containing 1 g dm^{- 3} of NaAlg at room temperature. The deposition voltage and time varied in the range 20-50 V and 30-120 min, respectively. The microstructure of Alg coatings was studied by scanning electron microscope, and the surface roughness was analysed using atomic force microscopy. Structure was studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. Chemical composition and functional group were examined using energy dispersive spectrometry and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy methods, respectively. It was found that controlling the deposition conditions it is possible to obtain amorphous Alg coatings of variable thickness and porosity. Mechanism of electrophoretic deposition of bioactive Alg coatings on the Ti15Mo alloy surface was discussed.

In this work, we employed the Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction in a study of point defect formation in intermetallic phases of the B2 structure of the Fe-Al system as a function of Al concentration. The results are compared with the concentrations of point defect determined from positron annihilation data. In the Mössbauer effect, two types of samples are investigated: Fe-Al alloys with few additives obtained by induction melting and Al-rich metallic powders produced by the self-decomposition method and intensive grinding of high energy in the electro-magneto-mechanical mill. We present the values of the ^{57}Fe isomer shift and quadrupole splitting for the components describing the point defect in the local environment of a Mössbauer nuclide. The concentration of the Fe vacancies and Fe atoms substituting Al (Fe-AS) are determined. The results showed that an increase in Al content causes an increase in vacancy and Fe-AS concentration.
