The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated. The results show that, the microhardness of the composite is up to HV 84.4, which is 91.38% higher than that of the as-cast matrix alloy(HV 44.1). The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the composite are 259 and 313 MPa, which are 135.45% and 115.86% higher than those of the as-cast matrix alloy, respectively, and a high specific strength of 221.98 k N·m/kg is obtained. In the composite, the MWCNTs serve as nucleation particles during the friction stir processing and cold rolling, causing dynamic recrystallization and grain refinement. Furthermore, MWCNTs hinder the movement of dislocations and transfer the load from the matrix alloy, thus improving the strength.展开更多

ISSR molecular markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity among 10 Polytrichaeeae plants. According to the results, a total of 7 ISSR primers were identified with polymorphism. By using the screened ISSR primers, 59 bands were amplified, including 36 polymorphic bands, and the percentage of polymorphic bands （PPB） was 61.02%. Based on the results of ISSR analysis, experimental materials were divided into two categories by UPGMA cluster analysis ： Polytrichastrum longisetum （ Sw. ex Brid. ） G. Sm. was clustered into one category, and other nine Polytrichaceae plants were clustered into one category, which was basically similar to their taxonomic status. This study indicated that ISSR molecular markers could be used to investigate the phylogeneties of Polytrichaceae plants.展开更多

Scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction were employed to characterize the microstructure and phase composition of the coatings, respectively. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was assessed by potential dynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and hydrogen evolution experiment in simulated body fluids solution. The friction and wear properties were evaluated by friction and wear testing machine. The results demonstrate that the coating surface is porous and mainly composed of MgO, Ca_5(PO_4)_3(OH) and CaH_2P_2O_5. With the increase in voltage, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the MAO coating are both enhanced. The corrosion current density of the MAO coating decreases about two orders of the magnitude compared to the substrate. Additionally, wear and corrosion mechanisms are discussed.展开更多

The microstructure, mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the alloy in as-cast, solid-solution treated and especially peak-aged conditions were investigated. The as-cast alloy mainly consists of α-Mg matrix, （Mg, Zn）3 RE phase and basal plane stacking faults. After proper solid-solution treatment, the microstructure becomes almost Mg-based single phase solid solution except just very few RE-riched particles. The as-cast and solid-solution treated alloys exhibit moderate tensile properties and thermal conductivity. It is noteworthy that the Mg alloy with 8 wt% multiple RE exhibits remarkable age-hardening response （AHV=35.7）, which demonstrates that the multiple RE （RE = Gd, Nd, Y, Ho, Er） alloying instead of single Gd can effectively improve the age-hardening response. The peak-aged alloy has a relatively good combination of high strength/hardness （UTS （ultimate tensile strength） 〉 300 MPa; TYS （tensile yield strength）〉210 MPa; 115.3 HV）, proper ductility （ε≈ 6%） and moderate thermal conductivity （52.5 W/（m K））. The relative mechanisms mainly involving aging precipitation of β″ and β＂ phases were discussed. The results provide a basis for development of high performance cast Mg alloys.2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science ＆ Technology.展开更多

文摘Due to the unique structure of perovskite materials,their capacitance can be improved by introducing oxygen vacancy.In this paper,the LaMnO3-δ material containing oxygen vacancy was synthesized by molten salt method in KNO3-NaNO3-NaNO2 melt.The La-Mn-O crystal grows gradually in molten salt with the increase of temperature.It was confirmed that LaMnO3-δ with perovskite structure and incomplete oxygen content were synthesized by molten salt method and presented a three-dimensional shape.LaMnO3-δ stores energy by redox reaction and adsorption of OH-in electrolyte simultaneously.In comparison with the stoichiometric LaMnO3 prepared by the sol-gel method,LaMnO3-δ prepared by molten salt method proffered higher capacitance and better performance.The galvanostatic charge-discharge curve showed specific capacitance of 973.5 F/g under current density of 1 A/g in 6 M KOH.The capacitance of LaMn03-δ was 82.7%under condition of 5 A/g compared with the capacitance at the current of 1A/g,and the specific capacitances of 648.0 and 310.0 F/g were obtained after 2000 and 5000 cycles of galvanostatic charging-discharging,respectively.Molten salt synthesis method is relatively simple and suitable for industrial scale,presenting a promising prospect in the synthesis of perovskite oxide materials.
文摘The electrochemical behavior of lanthanide elements deposited on liquid zinc cathodes was studied using cyclic voltammetry(CV)and open circuit chronopotentiometry(OCP).We observed a"bimodal effect"in the equilibrium deposition potentials of zinc with lanthanides.A mathematic equation is derived to illustrate the relationship between the equilibrium potential of the intermetallic compounds formed by lanthanide elements and zinc and their atomic radius.This equation is not only applicable to lanthanide elements but also hold for other elements such as alkali metal lithium,alkaline earth metal magnesium,calcium and transition metal niobium,which have crucial theoretical significance for the electrolysis of intermetallic compounds,the separation,and extraction of metals.

文摘Multi-wall carbon nanotubes reinforced Mg-14Li-1Al composite(MWCNTs/Mg-14Li-1Al) was prepared by the processes of electrophoretic deposition, friction stir processing, and cold rolling. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated. The results show that, the microhardness of the composite is up to HV 84.4, which is 91.38% higher than that of the as-cast matrix alloy(HV 44.1). The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the composite are 259 and 313 MPa, which are 135.45% and 115.86% higher than those of the as-cast matrix alloy, respectively, and a high specific strength of 221.98 k N·m/kg is obtained. In the composite, the MWCNTs serve as nucleation particles during the friction stir processing and cold rolling, causing dynamic recrystallization and grain refinement. Furthermore, MWCNTs hinder the movement of dislocations and transfer the load from the matrix alloy, thus improving the strength.

文摘The cadmium sulphide (CdS) film is grown on cadmium telluride (CdTe) nanorods (NRs) arrays by different methods such as chemical bath deposition (CBD), magnetron sputtering (MS), and homogenous precipitation (HP) techniques. The impact of various deposition methods is explored in detail on the growth of CdTe/CdS composite film, the CdTe/CdS interface property, and solar cell efficiency. Compared to the CBD and HP methods, the MS method can improve the growth of the CdS on CdTe NRs with high crystalline quality. The device based on the CdS film prepared by the MS method demonstrates excellent photovoltaic performance, which has the potential for applications in solar cells.

文摘In this study, genomic DNA of 10 Polytrichaceae plants were successfully extracted with modified CTAB method to establish an appropriate PCR reaction system of Polytriehaceae. ISSR molecular markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity among 10 Polytrichaeeae plants. According to the results, a total of 7 ISSR primers were identified with polymorphism. By using the screened ISSR primers, 59 bands were amplified, including 36 polymorphic bands, and the percentage of polymorphic bands （PPB） was 61.02%. Based on the results of ISSR analysis, experimental materials were divided into two categories by UPGMA cluster analysis ： Polytrichastrum longisetum （ Sw. ex Brid. ） G. Sm. was clustered into one category, and other nine Polytrichaceae plants were clustered into one category, which was basically similar to their taxonomic status. This study indicated that ISSR molecular markers could be used to investigate the phylogeneties of Polytrichaceae plants.
文摘Under the social and historical context,the deep reasons of the two sisters escaping from their hometown and nation are discussed due to the social background,motivation,destination,route,which reflects people’s yearning for a peaceful life and the excavation of their self-courage trampling of the iron hoof of war.That’s a further sign of sisterhood.Then the personal attitudes and choices of the two sisters are analyzed as well as the return in various meanings,including the ultimate return of Pearl to the family after physical trauma,return to Chinese culture after dreaming of a“good life”in America,so as to pursue the essential return of the adopted daughter to China,etc.This kind of root-seeking exploration of the protagonists forces them to“return”in various meanings and connects the East with the West,which also symbolizes the attempt to merge their own ethnic identity.Chinese-American writers make a bold attempt to define and integrate their ethnic background of social history and make a bold attempt on the definition and integration of ethnic identity.

文摘The bcc-structured Mg-Li alloy is currently the engineering metallic material with the lowest density,but it has not been widely used due to its low strength.In this paper,alloying Zn effectively improves the strength of the bcc-structured Mg-Li alloy.Due to the semi-coherent B2 structured nanoparticles,the compressive yield strength of the as-cast Mg-13Li-9Zn alloy reaches higher than 300 MPa.Due to the solid solution strengthening of Zn and the spinodal zone,the compressive yield strength of the as-quenched Mg-13Li-15Zn(LZ1315)alloy immediately increases to 400 MPa.In addition,the as-quenched LZ1315 alloy exhibits natural aging strengthening behavior.Due to the precipitation of B2 nanoparticles,the yield strength of the peak aged alloy is up to 495 MPa.

文摘High electromagnetic shielding performance was achieved in the Mg-9Li-3Al-1Zn alloy processed by accumulative roll bonding(ARB).The microstructure,electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness(SE) in the frequency of 30-1500 MHz and mechanical properties of the alloy were investigated.A model based on the shielding of the electromagnetic plane wave was used to theoretically discuss the EMI shielding mechanisms of ARB-processed alloy.Results indicate that the SE of the material increases gradually with the increase in the ARB pass.The enhanced SE can be attributed to the obvious microstructure orientation caused by ARB,and the alternative arrangement of alpha(Mg) phase and beta(Li)phase.In addition,with the increase in ARB pass,the number of interfaces between layers increases and the grain orientation of each layer tends to alignment along c-axis,which is beneficial to the reflection loss and multiple reflection loss of the incident electromagnetic wave.

文摘Calcium phosphate(CaP) coatings were prepared on Mg–8Li–2Ca magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation(MAO) in an alkaline Na_3PO_4–Ca[C_3H_7O_6P] base solution at the different applied voltages. Scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction were employed to characterize the microstructure and phase composition of the coatings, respectively. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was assessed by potential dynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and hydrogen evolution experiment in simulated body fluids solution. The friction and wear properties were evaluated by friction and wear testing machine. The results demonstrate that the coating surface is porous and mainly composed of MgO, Ca_5(PO_4)_3(OH) and CaH_2P_2O_5. With the increase in voltage, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the MAO coating are both enhanced. The corrosion current density of the MAO coating decreases about two orders of the magnitude compared to the substrate. Additionally, wear and corrosion mechanisms are discussed.

文摘A new cast Mg-2Gd-2Nd-2Y-1Ho-1Er-0.5Zn-0.4Zr （wt%） alloy was prepared by direct-chill semicontinuous casting technology. The microstructure, mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the alloy in as-cast, solid-solution treated and especially peak-aged conditions were investigated. The as-cast alloy mainly consists of α-Mg matrix, （Mg, Zn）3 RE phase and basal plane stacking faults. After proper solid-solution treatment, the microstructure becomes almost Mg-based single phase solid solution except just very few RE-riched particles. The as-cast and solid-solution treated alloys exhibit moderate tensile properties and thermal conductivity. It is noteworthy that the Mg alloy with 8 wt% multiple RE exhibits remarkable age-hardening response （AHV=35.7）, which demonstrates that the multiple RE （RE = Gd, Nd, Y, Ho, Er） alloying instead of single Gd can effectively improve the age-hardening response. The peak-aged alloy has a relatively good combination of high strength/hardness （UTS （ultimate tensile strength） 〉 300 MPa; TYS （tensile yield strength）〉210 MPa; 115.3 HV）, proper ductility （ε≈ 6%） and moderate thermal conductivity （52.5 W/（m K））. The relative mechanisms mainly involving aging precipitation of β″ and β＂ phases were discussed. The results provide a basis for development of high performance cast Mg alloys.2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science ＆ Technology.
