Thermophysical Properties and Normal Spectral Emittance of Iridium up to 3500 K

An ohmic pulse-heating experiment together with radiometry and μs-photopolarimetry is deployed at the Institute of Experimental Physics, Graz University of Technology, to obtain temperature-dependent thermophysical properties of conducting samples in the solid and molten states. This experimental setup has been used within the present work to gather data for solid and liquid iridium. Results for both thermophysical properties, as well as the normal spectral emittance obtained at a wavelength of 684.5 nm up to 3500 K are reported. The newly obtained values for iridium are presented in graphical and tabular form and compared to available literature data. The uncertainties for all reported properties are stated and it follows that, considering these expanded uncertainties, the recent data are in very good agreement with literature sources. Mutually motivated by these good results and by the scarce (if any) data available for the liquid state, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of liquid iridium are estimated by means of the Wiedemann–Franz law.     

Optical and microstructural properties of p-type SrCu2O2: First principles modeling and experimental studies

In this paper, we report first principles calculations and experimental studies of the optical and microstructural properties of both bulk and thin films of SrCu₂O₂. Polycrystalline SrCu₂O₂ films were grown by a conventional Pulsed Laser Deposition method in a flowing oxygen environment on corning glass 7059 and silicon substrates. Several characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform IR (FTIR), Raman, spectroscopic ellipsometry, reflectance/transmission spectrophotometry and Atomic Force Microscopy have been used for the investigation of the microstructural and vibrational properties of both bulk and thin films of SrCu₂O₂.XRD shows that bulk SrCu₂O₂ is polycrystalline and assumes the pure tetragonal phase of SrCu₂O₂. The vibrational properties of the tetragonal phase of SrCu₂O₂ have been inferred from Raman and FTIR spectroscopies and for the first time both Raman and IR active modes have been assigned. The bulk polycrystalline SrCu₂O₂ optical band gap determined from spectroscopic ellipsometry was 3.34 ± 0.01 eV. XRD results confirmed that pure non-textured polycrystalline phase SrCu₂O₂ thin films with a smooth surface can be grown by PLD at low temperature (300 °C).     

立方ZnMgO基体中六方ZnO量子点的化学溶液制备技术

首次报道了利用相分凝技术在非晶石英衬底上立方ZnMgO基体中制备六方ZnO量子点的化学溶液方法.对所制备的ZnO/ZnMgO/SiO2进行了原子力显微镜(AFM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、光致发光(PL)、椭圆偏振光谱(SE)表征.XRD表征表明当六配位Zn2 以替位的形式取代六配位Mg2 时,会导致相同衍射条件下立方ZnMgO的2θ比立方MgO的2θ小.SE表征发现ZnO量子点的量子效应导致了ZnO量子点的激子吸收能(3.76eV)比ZnO体晶的能带隙(3.37 eV)大.AFM表征表明:导致薄膜的XRD的衍射峰、α吸收峰和PL发射峰皆很宽的部分原因是由于组成所制备薄膜的晶粒尺寸分散较大、形状不一引起的.     

Synthetic,spectroscopic, magnetic,thermal, and antimicrobial approach towards new biocidal coordination polymers

O‐aminophenol was reacted with glutraldehyde to obtain Schiff base, which was then reacted with formaldehyde in slight acidic medium to generate phenolic groups. Now the substituted Schiff base was reacted with the transition metal acetates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) to get polymeric metal complexes. Their structures have been elucidated on the basis of elemental analyses, ¹H NMR spectra, ¹³C NMR spectra, magnetic measurements, thermogravimetric analyses, electronic spectra, and infrared spectra. The results are in accordance with an octahedral environment around the central metal ion. The polychelates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) are paramagnetic while Zn(II) polychelate was found to be diamagnetic. The synthesized Schiff base acted as a uninegative bidentate ligand and bonding occurs through the hydroxyl oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The thermal behavior of these coordinating polymers was studied by TGA in nitrogen atmosphere up to the temperature range of 800°C. All the synthesized polychelates were also screened for their biocidal activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis (bacteria), Candida albicans, and Muller species (yeast) by using agar well diffusion method. All the metal polychelates show promising antimicrobial activities. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 124:3971–3979, 2012     

Experimental ionization cross-sections of phosphorus and calcium by electron spectroscopic imaging

The absolute partial electron scattering cross-section for the phosphorus L_2,3-shell ionization was measured by electron spectroscopic imaging using poliovirus as a primary standard. The equivalent calcium cross-section was obtained in relation to phosphorus using the stoichiometric ratio for these two elements in hydroxyapatite, Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂. At 80kcV, the partial cross-section of phosphorus was 2.26 times 10^?20 and 2.68 × 10^?20cm²/atom for poliovirus and hydroxyapatite, respectively, at 150eV loss for a 15-cV energy window and an acceptance angle of 15 mrad. Under the same conditions the calcium cross-section was 0.49 × 10^?20 cm²/atom at 360 eV loss. The experimental values are slightly higher than the theoretical cross-sections calculated either by hydrogenic or Hartree—Slater approaches.     

Theoretical study of the VUV spectroscopy of Ce3+ and Tb3+ in BaBPO5 crystal using an empirical-ab initio hybrid method

The f-d transition of Ce3+and Tb3+in BaBPO5 was studied theoretically using the parametric Hamiltonian model.In order to overcome the difficulty in determining many of the parameter values,we adopted the model-space effective Hamiltonian method to determine the crystal-field parameters and spin-orbit parameters values.The method made use of the energies and eigenvectors,which were obtained from an ab initio calculation using the relativistic self-consistent discrete variational Slater software package(DV-Xα).Other parameters,which were less dependent on host crystals,were taken from published data.The calculated values of parameters were reasonable,and the energy-levels and f-d transition spectra agreed reasonably well with the measured excitation spectra of 5d-4f emission.     

Quantitative electron spectroscopic diffraction analyses of the crystal formation in dentine

Newly formed apatitic crystallites of different hard tissues consist, according to our investigations, of chains composed of nanometre-sized particles (islands, dots) arising at nucleating sites of the collagenous and noncollagenous matrix macromolecules. In dentine these islands coalesce rapidly in longitudinal direction to form needle-like crystallites which further coalesce to ribbon-like crystallites. We have concluded that the centre-to-centre distances between these islands represent the distances between the nucleating sites of the matrix macromolecules. We have applied energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy in the selected area electron diffraction mode at different stages of crystal formation in dentine and have obtained quantitative information of the degree of crystal disorder on the basis of the paracrystal theory. The fluctuation of the lattice plane distances in c -axis direction decreases, proceeding from the region near the dentine/predentine border to the dentine/enamel border.

温度对P110钢在水泥挤出液中钝化膜性能的影响

目的 探究P110套管钢在不同温度下生成的钝化膜的性能差异,找到能使P110套管钢生成最稳定钝化膜的温度,同时了解该温度下氯离子对钝化膜的破坏规律。方法 利用极化曲线、交流阻抗谱（EIS）和Mott-Schottky测试,研究了P110套管钢材料在pH值为13.0的水泥挤出液中浸泡4 d的钝化行为,讨论了在低、中、高（40、65、90 ℃）三种温度下生成的钝化膜的稳定性,并用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）对各试样表面微观形貌进行观察。最后在溶液中加入不同浓度的氯离子,通过测试极化曲线了解氯离子对钝化膜的破坏规律。结果 试样在40、65、90 ℃下的腐蚀电流密度分别为2.2727×10?6、4.0452×10?7、1.7081× 10?5 A/cm2,膜电阻分别为100 100、238 200、5480 Ω?cm2。40、65 ℃下所生成的钝化膜呈p型半导体特征,而90 ℃下呈双极型半导体特征。65 ℃下,随着氯离子浓度的增加,试样的腐蚀电位负移,耐蚀性逐渐降低,腐蚀速率增大,当浓度达到0.1 mol/L时,钝化膜的膜层结构已被破坏。结论 P110套管钢在pH值为13.0的水泥挤出液中浸泡4 d,表面能够生成钝化膜。在65 ℃溶液中生成的钝化膜耐蚀性最好,膜层结构更加致密,40 ℃次之,90 ℃最差。氯离子对钝化膜有侵蚀作用,高浓度的氯离子可以直接导致稳定钝化膜的破坏。
