摘 要：对显色剂2,4-二氯-6-溴偶氮氟膦与稀土元素在微波催化下的显色反应进行了研究。在硝酸及少量吡啶介质中,于40℃的微波水浴中加热催化8 min,试剂与各稀土发生显色反应,形成稳定的蓝色配合物。典型稀土元素La、Ce与显色剂的配合比均为1︰3,各稀土配合物的最大吸收波长位于632～636 nm,表观摩尔吸光系数相近,ε为 0.89～1.15×105 L?mol-1?cm-1。以634 nm作为测定波长,改变混合稀土的配分进行试验,结果表明,La、Ce、Y的比例对稀土总量测定的影响不显著。加入四元混合掩蔽剂,采用本方法对岩石等实际样品中稀土总量进行测定,相对标准偏差（RSD, n=5）为2.0%～2.4%,回收率为 93%～98%。     

Effect of Rare Earth on Microstructure of γ-TiAl Intermetallics

The rare earth (RE) elements (Ce, La) were added to binary Ti-47% Al alloys (atomic fraction) by Induction Skull Melting. The element Ce of 1.0 atomic percent was added individually, and La of 0.2 atomic percent was added individually. This article studied the influences of rare earth metal (Ce, La) on microstructure of as-cast TiA1 based alloy by XRD, SEM, EMPA and TEM measurement methodology. The results show that most of rare earth-rich phases (AlCe, Al-La) are uniformly distributed in grain boundary in the shape of discontinuous network, and some particles of rare earthrich phases within the grains are mainly ellipsoids. In addition, rare earth element can obviously refine the grain size and the lamellar thickness of as-cast TiAl based alloy samples. The grain size of Ti-47Al-1.0Ce-0.2La alloy reaches about 30～80μm, and the lameUar thickness of its γ phase and α2 phase are less than 200 and 20nm, respectively.

Effects of Processing Technology on Property and Microstructure of Rare Earth Containing Ceramic Composite

Effects of processing technology on the properties such as relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness, hardness, etc. and the microstructure of rare earth yttrium containing Al2O3/(W, Ti)C ceramic composite were experimentally investigated. It suggests that different processing parameters can undoubtedly result in different microstructures and different mechanical properties of the material. Under the experimental conditions, the suitable hot pressing temperature is 1720 ～ 1780 ℃, the time duration is 10 ～ 30 min and the hot pressing pressure is 30 ～ 35 MPa. The corresponding relative density can even be higher than 98 %. With SEM and TEM observation, each phases in the ceramic material is found to be in fine grains and distribute homogeneously. Typical fracture feature of the material is the mixture of both intergranular and introgranular fracture. Additionally, the existence of rare earth yttrium containing nanometer or sub-micron meter sized ceramic grains, dislocations and spontaneous microcracks can also contribute to the further improvement of the mechanical properties of the ceramic composite.

Effects of Light and Heavy Rare Earths on Anti-Degradation of Nodular Cast Iron

The effects of rare earths with different contents on anti-degradation of Y base heavy rare earths-magnesium and cerium base light rare earths-magnesium nodular cast iron were studied. Curves of the relationship between the spheroidization grade of liguid iron treated by different nodulizers and holding time were obtained. The results show that the more the remains of the rare earth, the longer the anti-degradation time, the liquid iron was treated either by Y-Mg-Si or by Ce-Mg-Si nodulizer. When the rare earth remains are above certain quantity, the spheroidization grade starts to decline. When liquid iron treated by either Y-Mg-Si or Ce-Mg-Si nodulizer with proper remains of rare earths about 0.04% 0.06%（mass fraction）, the anti-degradation is the best, and the remains of Mg being about 0.04% -0.07% （mass fraction）. Rare earths-Mg nodulizer with moderate RE remains is better than that of Mg-Si nodulizer in anti-degradation property. However, Y-Mg-Si nodulizer with moderate remins of Re is better than Ce-Mg-Si nodulizer. Sometimes Ce-Mg- Si nodulizer can be used for the production of heavy section nodular cast iron.

Formation of intermetallic compound at interface between rare earth elements and ferritic-martensitic steel by fuel cladding chemical interaction

The intermetallic compounds formation at interface between rare earth elements and clad material were investigated to demonstrate the effects of rare earth elements on fuel-cladding chemical interaction(FCCI)behavior.Mischmetal(70Ce-30La)and Nd were prepared as rare earth elements.Diffusion couple testing was performed on the rare earth elements and cladding(9Cr2W steel)near the operation temperature of(sodium-cooled fast reactor)SFR fuel.The performance of a diffusion barrier consisting of Zr and V metallic foil against the rare earth elements was also evaluated.Our results showed that Ce and Nd in the rare earth elements and Fe in the clad material interdiffused and reacted to form intermetallic species according to the parabolic rate law,describing the migration of the rare earth element.The diffusion of Fe limited the reaction progress such that the entire process was governed by the cubic rate law.Rare earth materials could be used as a surrogate for high burnup metallic fuels,and the performance of the barrier material was demonstrated to be effective.     

Luminescence Properties of Rare Earth Ions in Cadmium Metasilicate

The luminescence properties of CdSiO3:RE^3 phosphors doped with various rare earth ions are reported. The series of rare earth ions doped CdSiO3 phosphors are prepared by the conventional high-temperature solid-state method, and characterized by XRD and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The results of XRD measurement indicate that the products fired under 1050 ~C for 3 h have a good crystallization without any detectable amount of impure phase. The PL spectra measurement results show that CdSiO3 is a novel self-activated luminescent matrix. When rare earth ions such as Y^3 ,La^3 , Gd^3 , Lu^3 , Ce^3 , Nd^3 , Ho^3 , Er^3 , Tm^3 and Yb^3 are introduced into the CdSiO3 host, one broadband centered at about 420 nm resulted from traps can be observed. In the case of other earth ions which show emissions at the visible spectrum region, such as Pr^3 , Sm^3 , Eu^3 , Tb^3 and Dy3 , the mixture of their characteristic line emissions with the ～420 nm strong broadband luminescence results in various emitting colors. As a consequence, different emitting colors can be attairied via introducing certain appropriate active ions into the CdSiO3 matrix. In additional, this kind of phosphors shows good long-lasting properties when excited by UV light. All the results show that CdSiO3 is a potential luminance matrix.

Microstructural design in LaCe misch-metal substituted 2:14:1-type sintered magnets by dual-alloy method

LaCe-based sintered magnets with different microstructural features and distinct rare earth elemental distribution were designed by dual-alloy method.The sample prepared by fine LaCe-containing powder and coarse LaCe-free powder possesses higher remanence(~13.41 kGs),whereas another sample prepared by fine LaCe-free powder and coarse LaCe-containing powder possesses higher coercivity(~5.67 kOe).Additionally,these samples are with the same nominal compositions and their elemental distribution features are obviously different in matrix grains respectively.Their remanence difference is mainly affected by the saturation magnetization difference caused by the distribution variation of the rare earth elements at the matrix phase.The coercivity difference is affected by the component of the grain boundary phase between the adjacent grains and the distribution variation of the rare earth elements at the matrix phase.These findings may provide a new prospect for the utilization of LaCe mischmetal in 2:14:1-type permanent magnets.
