通过晶格失配调节有盖层张应变Ge量子点的光电特性

利用Ge与不同衬底形成的不同晶格失配度来调节有盖层的张应变Ge量子点的光电特性。通过有限元方法模拟并获得张应变Ge量子点内的应变分布,而后通过形变势理论和有效质量近似计算得到量子点的电子结构。与无盖层张应变Ge量子点相比,有盖层Ge量子点能保持更大的应变量。另外,随着量子点尺寸和晶格失配度的增大,导带Γ谷与导带L谷的能量差缩减,最终使Ge转变为直接带隙材料。直接带隙能量随着量子点尺寸的增大而减小。该研究结果表明张应变Ge量子点是制备包含激光器在内的Si基光源的理想材料,在未来光电子应用中有巨大潜力。

氮化硼量子点的制备及应用综述

氮化硼量子点是一类新型的零维纳米材料,它具备独特的荧光性能、高导热性、化学稳定性以及良好的生物相容性等出色的理化特性.氮化硼量子点在光电子学、电子元件、传感和催化、生物传感器和生物成像等领域已展现出极为广阔的应用前景,但其高效制备依然面临巨大挑战.因此,探索氮化硼量子点高效制备的新方法并进一步拓展其应用领域是当前纳米材料工程领域新的研究焦点.目前,氮化硼量子点的制备可以归纳为"自上而下"和"自下而上"两种方法.其中自上而下法是当前制备的主要方法,此方法类型多样,包括水热法、溶剂热法、超声剥离法以及碱金属插层法等.虽然自上而下法可实现大规模制备氮化硼量子点,但这类方法大都需要有机溶剂、强碱和高温等条件.自下而上的方法利用含有氮和硼元素的前体分子合成氮化硼量子点,可以实现量子点结构的精确控制,但这类方法不适合于大规模制备硼量子点.目前氮化硼量子点的大规模高效制备研究虽然还处在早期阶段,但已有的研究成果为其今后高效大规模的可控制备奠定了基础.同时,以量子点制备工作为基础,许多氮化硼量子点的应用工作也在如火如荼地开展之中,其中包括细胞成像、纤维染色、金属离子检测、化学发光传感器、指纹荧光成像和维生素的检测等,这些应用研究反过来也进一步促进了量子点制备工作的开展.本文对近年来氮化硼量子点的制备进行了系统的梳理,并对其在应用领域取得的研究成果进行了总结分析,最后提出了氮化硼量子点的制备及应用研究的思路,以期为后续的研究提供参考.

Insertion of triangulated surfaces into a meccano tetrahedral discretization by means of mesh refinement and optimization procedures

In this paper, we present a new method for inserting several triangulated surfaces into an existing tetrahedral mesh generated by the meccano method. The result is a conformal mesh where each inserted surface is approximated by a set of faces of the final tetrahedral mesh. First, the tetrahedral mesh is refined around the inserted surfaces to capture their geometric features. Second, each immersed surface is approximated by a set of faces from the tetrahedral mesh. Third, following a novel approach, the nodes of the approximated surfaces are mapped to the corresponding immersed surface. Fourth, we untangle and smooth the mesh by optimizing a regularized shape distortion measure for tetrahedral elements in which we move all the nodes of the mesh, restricting the movement of the edge and surface nodes along the corresponding entity they belong to. The refining process allows approximating the immersed surface for any initial meccano tetrahedral mesh. Moreover, the proposed projection method avoids computational expensive geometric projections. Finally, the applied simultaneous untangling and smoothing process delivers a high‐quality mesh and ensures that the immersed surfaces are interpolated. Several examples are presented to assess the properties of the proposed method.

Roman iron and steel: A review

ABSTRACT

The production of ferrous metal increased during the Roman Late Republican period, Principate and Empire. The direct bloomery process was used to extract the metal from its ores using slag-tapping and slag-pit furnaces. The fuel was charcoal and an air blast was introduced by bellows-operated tuyères. Iron formed as a bloom, often as a spongy mass of metal, which contained impurities from the smelting process, including unreacted ore, fuel, slag and fragments from the furnace walls, while the metal was often inhomogeneous with varied carbon contents. Blooms were either smithed directly into bars or ingots or they were broken up, which also allowed the removal of gross impurities and a selection of pieces with similar properties to be made. These could then be forge-welded together and formed into characteristically shaped ingots. Making steel in the furnace seems to have been achieved: it depended on the ore and the furnace and conditions within it. Surface carburization was also carried out. Iron and steel were used extensively in construction and for tools and weapons. Fire welding was often used to add pieces of steel to make the edges of tools and weapons, which could be heat-treated by quenching to harden them.

The Research of Anti-Wear Properties of Organomolybdenum Compounds in the Engine Oils

A four-ball tester was used to evaluate the anti-wear performance of three kinds of organomolybdemun compounds in the engine oils, i. e., molybdenum dialkyldithiophosphate (MoDDP), molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate ( MoDTC), and sulphur and phosphorus freeorganomolybdeum (Molybdate). The results indicate that a low concentration of MoDDP doesn' t improve the anti-wear properties of the commercial engine oils, but a high concentration of MoDDP can obviously improve the anti-wear properties and the load-carrying capacity of the engine oils. MoDTC doesn' t improve the antiwear properties of the engine oils, but worsens the anti-wear properties of the oils. Signifi can timprove ment of frictional and wear characteristics is obtained with Molybdate added in the commercial engine oils and the formulated oils.     

Flow calorimeter for enthalpy increment measurements on condensed gases

A flow calorimeter for enthalpy increment measurements on condensed gases is presented. A better knowledge of the properties of the liquefied natural gas is needed, and therefore a liquid loop has been designed for our flow calorimeter. The fluid loop in the calorimeter is designed in order to avoid the two-phase region, since two phases would give compositional disturbances in the measurements. The avoidance of the two-phase region is made possible by increasing the pressure of the test fluid after the measurement section, then heating the fluid at super-critical pressure past the critical point. Finally, the fluid is throttled to the low-pressure gas state at the inlet condition of the compressor that circulates the fluid. To perform the pressure increase, a new cryogenic pump has been designed. To evaluate the new equipment, measurements were taken on liquid ethane over the temperature range 146–256 K at pressure between 0.9 and 5.1 MPa.     

Synthesis of Alumina-Zirconia Nanocomposites by Solgel Process

Al₂O₃-ZrO₂ nanocomposites were developed starting with the solgel process. Composite alumina-zirconia nanopowders were synthesized from metallorganic precursors (Aluminium secondary butoxide and zirconium Iso propoxide) using the solgel process. The parameters affecting the synthesis—solvent, concentration of precursor, R/H ratio (i.e., dilution of water in solvent)—were varied as also the temperature and pH. BET and TEM were used to measure nanosize. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and also qualitative optical absorption led to identical particle size estimate. The variation of process parameters was used to study the effect and interdependence of process parameters. Artificial Neural Networks was used to rigorously analyze the process. Although this led to confirmation of interdependence of parameters, the presence of a single overwhelming solvent variable was also established. Then the optimal process was used to synthesize more nanopowder. To produce bulk nanocomposite the nanopowders were sintered by varying the temperature and time period. The sintered lithoids were probed with a vickers hardness tester to measure elastic modulus, hardness, and fracture toughness. The results showed high elastic modulus, modest hardness, and very high fracture toughness.

Friction Stir Processing Strategies for Uniform Distribution of Reinforcement in a Surface Composite

Friction stir processing (FSP) is an important technique for preparing surface composites. Fabricating defect-free surface composites with uniform particle distribution by FSP is a challenging task. In this study, silicon carbide particles reinforced AA5083 alloy surface composites was fabricated using different FSP strategies including variation in process parameters, dual-tool processing and tool offset overlapping. Material flow of the processed material with reinforcement particles demonstrated that the distribution of particles was influenced by the stirring action of the probe as well as the extrusion of the plasticized material due to the movement of the tool. Process parameters, particularly rotational speed, showed a dominant influence on the distribution of silicon carbide particles.
