Comparison of effects of cerium, yttrium and gadolinium additions on as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-3Sn-1Mn magnesium alloy

The effects of Ce, Y and Gd additions on the as-cast microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-3Sn-1Mn alloy were investigated and compared by using optical and electron microscopies, X-ray diffraction analysis, and tensile and creep tests. The results indicated that the microstructure of the Mg-3Sn-1Mn alloy with the addition of 0.87 wt.%Ce was refined while the microstructures of the alloys with the additions of 0.79 wt.%Y or 0.84 wt.%Gd were coarsened. Furthermore, adding 0.87 wt.%Ce to the Mg-3Sn-1...     

Electrochemical Performance of PrBaCo2O5+δ and Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3−δ Infiltrated Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 Cathodes

Cathodes with PrBaCo₂O_5+δ (PBC) and Sm_0.5Sr_0.5CoO_3−δ (SSC) infiltrated on Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_1.95 (CGO) backbones are prepared using metal nitrates as precursors and ethanol as wetting agent. Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) are measured from cathode/CGO/cathode symmetrical cells in 400–650 °C under humidified air. The results indicate that interfacial area specific resistance (ASR) value decreases and then increases with infiltrate loading and minimum values occur at 50 wt.% loading (relative to sum of infiltrate and backbone) for both PBC and SSC infiltrates. ASR values of PBC infiltrated cathodes are lower than that of corresponding SSC infiltrated cathodes in general, and in particular ASR values as low as 1.36 × 10⁻² and 2.27 × 10⁻² Ω cm² are obtained at 650 °C in air for 50 wt.% PBC and 50 wt.% SSC infiltrated cathodes, respectively. Conductivity values of CGO electrolyte increase with infiltrate loading and agree with the reported values when the loading reaches 50 wt.%.     

Chitosan—A versatile semi-synthetic polymer in biomedical applications

This review outlines the new developments on chitosan-based bioapplications. Over the last decade, functional biomaterials research has developed new drug delivery systems and improved scaffolds for regenerative medicine that is currently one of the most rapidly growing fields in the life sciences. The aim is to restore or replace damaged body parts or lost organs by transplanting supportive scaffolds with appropriate cells that in combination with biomolecules generate new tissue. This is a highly interdisciplinary field that encompasses polymer synthesis and modification, cell culturing, gene therapy, stem cell research, therapeutic cloning and tissue engineering. In this regard, chitosan, as a biopolymer derived macromolecular compound, has a major involvement. Chitosan is a polyelectrolyte with reactive functional groups, gel-forming capability, high adsorption capacity and biodegradability. In addition, it is innately biocompatible and non-toxic to living tissues as well as having antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor activity. These features highlight the suitability and extensive applications that chitosan has in medicine. Micro/nanoparticles and hydrogels are widely used in the design of chitosan-based therapeuticsystems. The chemical structure and relevant biological properties of chitosan for regenerative medicine have been summarized as well as the methods for the preparation of controlled drug release devices and their applications.     

Preparation of Gd_(0.3)Ce_(0.7)O_(1.85-x) Single Buffer Layer for Coated Conductor Using a Novel-PACSD Method

To increase the critical thickness of CeO2 single buffer layer, the polymer assisted chemical solution deposition (PACSD) approach has been adopted to prepare a single buffer layer of Gd0.3Ce0.7O1.85-x (GCO) on bi-axially textured Ni-5%W alloy substrate, and the influences of different annealing temperatures on texture and microstructure of the buffer layer has also been studied in this paper. The results demonstrate that a well textured, dense and smooth GCO single buffer layer with thickness of 180 nm has...

The optimization of gamma spectra processing in prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA)

The uncertainty of the elemental analysis is one of the major factors governing the utility of on-line Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) in the blending and sorting of bulk materials. In this paper, a general method applicable to Gamma spectra processing is presented and applied to PGNAA in mineral industry. Based on the Fourier transform of spectra and their de-correlation in the Fourier space (the improvement of the conditioning of the correlation matrix), processing of overlapping of characteristic peaks minimizes the propagation of random errors, which optimizes the accuracy and decreases the detection limits of elemental analyses. In comparison with classical methods based on the linear combinations of relevant regions of spectra the improvement may be considerable, especially when several elements are interfering. The method is applied to four case stories covering both borehole logging and on-line analysis on conveyor belt of raw materials.     

Investigation of some physical properties of Gd added Bi-2223 superconductors

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dc electrical resistivity, critical current density and static microindentation measurements are performed to investigate some physical properties of Bi_1.8Pb_0.35Sr_1.9Ca_2.1Cu₃Gd_xO_y superconducting samples with x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5. We observe from the transport measurements that, for the Gd added sample, the critical transition temperature (T_c) and the critical current density (J_c) are decreased in comparison with that of undoped sample. In addition, surface morphology and grain connectivity of the samples are degraded and the high-T_c phase of the samples decreases with increasing Gd addition. The indentation load versus diagonal length of the samples under different indentation loads in the range of 0.245-2.940 N are measured. The microindentation measurements showed that, for the Gd added sample, the load dependent (apparent) microhardness value (H_v) is lower in comparison with that of the pure sample (x = 0). The values of H_v are found to be load dependent. In addition, we extract the load independent (true) microhardness using the Kick's law, proportional specimen resistance (PSR), modified proportional specimen resistance (MPSR) and the Hays-Kendall (HK) approach and compare the true hardness with the apparent hardness. The possible reasons for the observed degradation in microstructure, superconducting and mechanical properties due to Gd addition are discussed.     

Measurement of neutron total cross-section and resonance parameters of xenon

We measured the neutron total cross-sections of natural xenon in the neutron energy region from 0.1 to 40 eV by using the time-of-flight method at the Pohang neutron facility, which consists of an electron linear accelerator, a water-cooled tantalum target with a water moderator, and a 12-m long time-of-flight path. A ⁶Li-ZnS(Ag) scintillator with a diameter of 12.5 cm and a thickness of 1.6 cm was used as a neutron detector. Notch filters composed of Co, In, Cd were used to estimate the background level and to calculate the neutron flight path length. The present measurement was compared with the existing experimental and the evaluated data. The resonance parameters of Xe isotopes were obtained from the transmission ratio by using the SAMMY code and were compared with other previous results.
