INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHYSICS OF TODAY 15-16 March 2012 Theme: Physics of Today PROGRAMMES & ABSTRACTS Venue: Central Auditorium, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh 3 Organized by m= Bangladesh Physical Society 1 CMP-L-II-A 08: Crystallographic features of a recent Japanese sword prepared by tatara method A.K. Das, A.K.M, Zakaria, I. Kamal and T.Ohba* Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology, AERE, Ganakbari Savar, Dhaka *Department of Materials Sciences, Shimane University, Japan Crystallographic features of a recent Japanese sword were investigated by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and SEM/EBSD (Scanning Electron Microscopy with Electron Back Scattered Diffraction) studies. Optical microscopic study showed that blade zone of the sword contained lath martensite both on the surface and in the cross section. The X-ray diffraction study illustrated that the crystallographic structure of the sword was composed of martensite (a') and a small fraction of retained austenite (y), The crystallographic parameters corresponding to the tetragonal (bet) martensite and cubic austenite cells were estimated by the WPPF analysis, of X-ray data. EBSD studies showed good agreement with the X-ray data and revealed that the microstructure ‘was fine grained lath martensite with irrationally arranged prior austenite grains and packets, although the blocks were fairly observed. Present study revealed that the traditional method of preparation (ta‘ara method) offered the special features to the Japanese sword, unlike the ordinary steel. CMP-L-I-A 09: EDTA effect on the growth kinetics and microhardness properties of KDP crystal ‘A. Rahman’ and J. Poder” * Department of Basic Sciences and Humanities (Physics), University of Asia Pacific, Bangladesh “Department of Physics, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Bangladesh E-mail: jpodder@phy.buet.ac.bd In the present work, Potassium di-hydrogen phosphate (KDP) has been successfully grown in pure form and doped with EDTA (0.5 mol %) by low temperature solution growth technique and growth kineties of KDP crystals in doped and undoped solutions were measured and analyzed. The induction period t was measured and from this critical nucleation parameters like energy of formation of the critical nucleus (AG*), radius of the critical nucleus r*, nucleation rate J, number of the molecules in the critical nucleus i* have been calculated based on the classical theory of nucleation. The grown crystals have been subjected to study the mechanical property. The microhardness test was carried out on (100) plane. The load dependent hardness and work hardening coefficient was measured.
