Nitrogen molecules have been encapsulated into the central hollows of vertically aligned carbon nitride (CN) multiwalled nanofibers by dc plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with C2H2, NH3, and N2 gases on a Ni/TiN/Si(1 0 0) substrate at 650 °C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectra showed the existence of nitrogen molecules in CN nanofibers. Elemental mapping images with electron energy loss spectroscopy of the CN nanofiber and catalyst metal, and optical emission spectroscopy spectra of the plasma showed the distribution of nitrogen atoms and molecules in the CN nanofiber, catalyst metal, and gaseous precursor, respectively. These studies showed that atomic nitrogen diffused into the catalytic metal particle because of the concentration gradient and then saturated at the bottom of the particle. Saturated nitrogen atom participated in the formation of the CN nanofiber wall but most of nitrogen was trapped in the central hollow of the nanofiber as molecules. 相似文献
Person re-identification (re-id) aims to identity the same person over multiple cameras; it has been successfully applied to various computer vision applications as a fundamental method. Owing to the development of deep learning, person re-id methods, which typically use triplet networks based on triplet loss, have demonstrated great success. However, the appearances of people are similar and hence difficult to distinguish in many cases. Therefore, we present a novel graph convolution network and enhances traditional triplet loss functions. Our method defines reference, positive, and negative features for triplet loss as three vertices of a graph, respectively, and adjusts their mutual distance through learning. The method adopts graph convolutions efficiently, thereby affording low computational costs. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is superior to the baseline on the Market-1501 dataset. The proposed GCN-based triplet loss considerably contributes to improve re-identification methods quantitatively and qualitatively.
The effect of channel-width chirping on near- and far-field intensity patterns of the six supermodes was investigated. The supermode discrimination was evaluated in various channel-chirped index guided laser arrays. The results show that the linearly channel-chirped laser array has very good supermode discrimination which is better than that of a uniform laser array, the V channel-chirped laser array has the smallest radiation angle of the fundamental supermode among the calculated arrays, and the asymmetrically V channel-chirped array has a very small radiation angle of the fundamental supermode, which is smaller than that of the uniform array and also allows for very good fundamental supermode discrimination against the higher-order supermodes, which is better than that of the V channel-chirped laser array. 相似文献
Li metal anode is the “Holy Grail” material of advanced Lithium-ion-batteries (LIBs). However, it is plagued by uncontrollable dendrite growth resulting in poor cycling efficiency and short-circuiting of batteries. This has spurred a plethora of research to understand the underlying mechanism of dendrite formation. While experimental studies suggest that there are complex physical and chemical interactions between heterogeneous solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and dendrite growth, most of the studies do not reveal the mechanisms triggering these interactions. To deal with this knowledge gap, we propose a multiscale modeling framework which couples kinetic Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulations. Specifically, the model has been developed to account for (a) heterogeneous SEI, (b) dendrite-SEI interactions, and (c) effect of electrolyte on Li electrodeposition and potential dendrite formation. This allows the proposed computational model to be extended to various electrolytes and SEI species and generate results consistent with previous experimental studies. 相似文献
Two types of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-based elastomer nanocomposites are used as a sensor material for the detection of gasoline spills by applying the interdigitated electrode (IDE) device. MWNT-g-polyisoprene (PI) and Si-MWNT/natural rubber (NR) are prepared by applying “grafting-from” and “grafting-to” process, respectively. When compared based on the identical condition of gasoline sensing test, the maximum response value to the exposure of gasoline is 17.5 for MWNT-g-PI sensor and 12.9 for Si-MWNT/NR sensor, which reach the maximum in less than 3 min. The MWNT-g-PI sensor selectively detects gasoline, and its response is completely reversible. It shows that the longer chain length of PI brings about the larger response of MWNT-g-PI sensor to gasoline. The sensitivity of MWNT-g-PI sensor highly depends on both how much gasoline is exposed to the sensor and what bias voltage is applied to the IDE device. The IDE sensor using MWNT-g-PI nanocomposites effectively detects gasoline spills. 相似文献
The superplastic deformation behavior of quasi-single phase Zn-0.3 wt. %Al was investigated. A series of load relaxation and
tensile tests was conducted at various temperatures ranging from RT (20 °C) to 200 °C. The recently proposed internal variable
theory of structural superplasticity was applied. The flow curves obtained from load relaxation tests were shown to consist
of contributions from interface sliding (IS) and accommodating plastic deformation. In the case of quasi-single phase Zn-0.3
wt.% Al alloy with an average agrain size of 1 μm, the IS behavior could be described as a viscous flow process characterized
by a power index of Mg=0.5. A large elongation of about 1400% was obtained at room temperature and the strain rate sensitivity parameter was about
0.4. Although relatively large-grained (10 μm) single phase alloy showed a high value of strain rate sensitivity comparable
to that of fine-grained alloy at very low strain rate range, IS was not expected from the analysis based on the internal variable
theory of structural superplasticity at room temperature. As the temperature increased above 100 °C, however, the contribution
from IS was observed at a very low strain rate range. A high elongation of ∼400% was obtained in a specimen of 10-μm-grain-size
at 200 °C under a strain rate of 2×10−4/sec.

A composite coating of aluminide-yttrium has shown excellent corrosion resistance in a cyclic high-temperature hot-corrosion environment. To understand the effect of yttrium on the stability of the composite coating, the specimens were prepared with various coating parameters of Y thickness, sequence of post heat treatment and surface condition before Y-ion plating. Performance of the composite coating was evaluated by isothermal oxidation and cyclic high-temperature hot corrosion. Isothermal-oxidation-test results show that the Y in the composite coating helps to form a thick and dense Al2O3 scale which is ductile and resistant to thermal stress. The Y in Al2O3 may act as a donor which leads to an increase in concentration of interstitial oxygen and, thus, increases in oxidation rate. The presence of Y2O3 and (Y, Al) O-type compounds in grain boundaries of Al2O3 and boundaries between the Al2O3 and NiAl effectively prohibits the fast diffusion of oxidants (such as O and S) and Al along grain boundaries. Consequently, it may induce slow diffusion through the matrix, and thus the corrosion resistance of the composite coating under cyclic hot corrosion increases substantially. 相似文献
The texture of cold rolled aluminum sheet has been known to vary through the thickness due to inhomogeneous deformation during rolling. The copper texture is obtained in the center layer that is plane strain compressed while the shear texture in the surface layer, which is approximated by major 001 011 and minor 111 112 and 111 110 components. The stability condition of these components was calculated based on the full constraint Taylor-Bishop-Hill theory and could be described by a parameterdɛ13/dɛ11 with the suffixes 1 and 3 indicating the rolling and thickness directions, respectively. 相似文献
Epitaxial and polycrystalline Bi4Ti3O12 thin films were prepared on single crystal (100) MgO substrates by a chemical solution deposition process using metal naphthenates as starting materials. Pyrolyzed films (at 500°C) were annealed for 30 min in air at 650, 700, 750 and 800°C, respectively. The effects of annealing temperature on the crystallinity, epitaxy and surface morphology of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction θ-2θ scans, pole-figure analysis, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Epitaxially grown films annealed at 700 and 750°C, respectively, showed growth of three-dimensional needle-shaped grains. During annealing at 800°C, grain growth of Bi4Ti3O12 may be suppressed by the formation of a titanium-rich phase such as Bi2Ti2O7 owing to Bi volatilization, resulting in lower root mean square roughness than that of film annealed at 750°C. 相似文献
