  • Patent number: 9784637
    Abstract: An adsorption characteristic measuring apparatus is configured to: acquire a unit-time leak pressure value from a pressure increase value of an internal pressure value of a sample tube caused by an non-adsorption gas leaking from the outside of a fitting portion into an inner space of the sample tube; acquire a pressure value at which a temporal change of the internal pressure value of the sample tube assumes an equilibrium state when an adsorption gas present in the reference volume portion is supplied into the sample tube and the sample tube is in a closed state; calculate a pressure value after correction of a real leak pressure value is performed on a measured equilibrium pressure value, as a true equilibrium pressure value, the real leak pressure value being obtained in such a manner that the unit-time leak pressure value is multiplied by a leak time; and calculate an adsorption isotherm.

  • Patent number: 9783907
    Abstract: Al—Mnx/Al—Mny multilayers with a wide range of structures ranging from microcrystalline to nanocrystalline and amorphous were electrodeposited using a single bath method under galvanostatic control from room temperature ionic liquid. By varying the Mn composition by ?1-3 at. % between layers, the grain sizes in one material can be systematically modulated between two values. For example, one specimen alternates between grain sizes of about 21 and 52 nm, in an alloy of average composition of 10.3 at. % Mn. Nanoindentation testing revealed multilayers with finer grains and higher Mn content exhibited better resistance to plastic deformation. Other alloy systems also are expected to be electrodeposited under similar circumstances.
