Characterization of cubic γ-phase uranium molybdenum alloys synthesized by ultrafast cooling

► U-Mo alloys prepared by splat cooling. ► A small amount of γ-phase was preserved in pure splat-cooled uranium specimen. ► Crystal structure characterized by X-ray diffraction and EBSD. ► A stability of γ-phase for alloys with 11–15at.% Mo. ► Superconducting transition, Tc=1.24K (pure-U) to 2.11K (...

description ► U-Mo alloys prepared by splat cooling. ► A small amount of γ-phase was preserved in pure splat-cooled uranium specimen. ► Crystal structure characterized by X-ray diffraction and EBSD. ► A stability of γ-phase for alloys with 11–15at.% Mo. ► Superconducting transition, Tc=1.24K (pure-U) to 2.11K (U-15at.% Mo). U-Mo alloys with Mo concentration in the range of 0–15at.% Mo were prepared using a splat-cooling technique. Phase analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) revealed the presence of a small amount of γ-U phase retained at room temperature alongside the majority α-U phase and opening the possibility of stabilizing the γ-phase at room temperature in uranium metal by ultrafast cooling. The double-phase (α+γ) structure with predominance of the α-phase was obtained in the alloys with 0–10at.% Mo. Increasing further Mo doping leads to the γ° phase (for 11–12at.% Mo) and pure cubic γ phase (for 15at.% Mo). The superconducting transition was investigated by low-temperature resistivity measurements down to 0.3K in magnetic fields up to 5T. All the splats become superconducting with Tc in the range from 1.24K (pure U splat) to 2.11K (U-15at.% Mo). The superconductivity in the γ-phase alloys exhibited a much higher upper critical field than for α-phase material. Electrical resistivity of the γ-alloys (⩾11at.% Mo) exhibited a negative temperature coefficient from room temperature down to the superconducting transition.
