Crystal-field engineering of ultrabroadband mid-infrared emission in Co2+-doped nano-chalcogenide glass composites

Tunable and ultrabroadband mid-infrared (MIR) emissions in the range of 2.5–4.5 μm are firstly reported from Co²⁺-doped nano-chalcogenide (ChG) glass composites. The composites embedded with a variety of binary (ZnS, CdS, ZnSe) and ternary (ZnCdS, ZnSSe) ChG nanocrystals (NCs) can be readily obtained by a simple one-step thermal annealing method. They are highly transparent in the near- and mid-infrared wavelength region. Low-cost and commercially available Er³⁺-doped fiber lasers can be used as the excitation source. By crystal-field engineering of the embedded NCs through cation- or anion-substitution, the emission properties of Co²⁺ including its emission peak wavelength and bandwidth can be tailored in a broad spectral range. The phenomena can be accounted for by crystal-field theory. Such nano-ChG composites, perfectly filling the 3–4 μm spectral gap between the oscillations of Cr²⁺ and Fe²⁺ doped IIVI ChG crystals, may find important MIR photonic applications (e.g., gas sensing), or can be used directly as an efficient pump source for Fe²⁺: IIVI crystals which are suffering from lack of pump sources.     

热轧带钢边部翘皮缺陷成因分析

为了探明低碳钢在带钢轧制过程中出现边部翘皮缺陷的形成原因,取样分析了翘皮缺陷形貌及夹杂物成分,并采用ø750 mm×550 mm高刚度二辊热轧机组进行实验室模拟轧制分析翘皮缺陷演化过程。通过建立不同轧制方案,探明了热轧带钢翘皮缺陷形成于精轧道次,缺陷的产生与坯表面质量和边部原始凝固组织无关,轧材在轧制过程中由于边部不均匀变形形成侧面凹陷,凹陷在后续轧制中被轧制压缩闭合,并翻转到表面成为翘皮缺陷。最后,工业生产试验表明,倒角铸坯可提高轧材边部在轧制过程中的温度和均匀性,抑制轧材边部不均匀变形,有效降低翘皮缺陷的发生率。     

基于支持向量机和磁记忆技术的管道缺陷深度的定量化反演研究

金属管道表面往往存在不同深度的腐蚀缺陷。金属磁记忆检测技术是目前唯一能对铁磁性构件的早期损伤进行诊断的无损检测技术,然而磁记忆原始信号本身并不能直接实现对管道腐蚀缺陷深度特征的定量化识别,进而无法实现对管道腐蚀程度的预警。针对该问题,采用支持向量机方法建立了管道缺陷深度的定量化反演模型,利用该模型对管道上深度为1~15mm的腐蚀缺陷进行了多次反演,反演结果的平均误差为2.398mm,平均均方根误差为3.205mm,结果表明,模型对管道腐蚀缺陷深度的定量化反演是可行的。研究结果可为该领域的研究提供一定的参考,且具有较高的实际应用价值。     

TiO2 nanoparticles with superior hydrogen evolution and pollutant degradation performance

The human life faces serious energy shortage and environmental pollution problems, therefore developing a facile and environmental friendly strategy for synthesizing nanoparticles (NPs) with improved photocatalytic activity could pave the way for different applications. In the present study, one-pot/in-situ fluorine-free synthesis process has been examined toward the solvothermal production of anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles with exposed facet orientation. This is an aim to achieve the excellent photocatalytic/photoelectrocatalytic performance. Most importantly addressing the global energy shortage, the synthesized TiO₂ NPs represent superior performance in photoelectrocatalytic water splitting toward hydrogen production. The overpotential required to drive the hydrogen evolution reaction was −391, −346 and −283 mV vs. Ag/AgCl for P25, cubic and truncated octahedral NPs, respectively. Additionally, TiO₂ NPs with exposed facets represent excellent photocatalytic performance toward environmental purification. As synthesized nanoparticles was examined via photocatalytic degradation of Acid Blue 5 and photocatalytic removal of NO gas. The enhanced photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic performance are associated to the effect of exposed facet orientation of final nanoparticles.

Water leakage due to the welding defect and improvement to reach 1-MW beam operation in the mercury target of J-PARC

ABSTRACT

Neutron flux per pulse reached world record at neutron source in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). In the J-PARC, mercury target system is used as a spallation neutron source. A target vessel has a multi-walled protection system that comprises a mercury vessel enclosed with a double-walled water shroud. This is to prevent the leakage of the mercury outside the target vessel. The multi-walled structure needed to be complicated with a lot of welding lines. However, during the operation, we faced an unscheduled shutdown due to water leakage to the intermediate layer between the mercury vessel and water shroud. An investigation on the cause of the leakage was carried out. It is deduced that the leakage path was formed due to the crack propagation from welding defects that are caused by the complicated multi-walled structure. The crack propagation is attributed to the repeated stress by pressure waves generated in the mercury target. Based on the investigation results, the design was improved to remove the welding line on the complicated structure and to realize the stable operation with 1 MW proton beam, which is the final design value of the neutron source in J-PARC.     

Crystal anisotropy-dependent shear angle variation in orthogonal cutting of single crystalline copper

Shear deformation that dominates elementary chip formation in metal cutting greatly relies on crystal anisotropy. In the present work we investigate the influence of crystallographic orientation on shear angle in ultra-precision orthogonal diamond cutting of single crystalline copper by joint crystal plasticity finite element simulations and in-situ experiments integrated in scanning electron microscope. In particular, the experimental cutting conditions including a straight cutting edge are the same with that used in the 2D finite element simulations. Both simulations and experiments demonstrate a well agreement in chip profile and shear angle, as well as their dependence on crystallography. A series of finite element simulations of orthogonal cutting along different cutting directions for a specific crystallographic orientation are further performed, and predicated values of shear angle are used to calibrate an extended analytical model of shear angle based on the Ernst–Merchant relationship.     

轧制边线形成过程的有限元分析

利用有限元软件对空冷后具有一定温度梯度的板坯的轧制过程进行数值模拟计算,研究分析两种不同高温力学特性的钢种在轧制时边角部金属的位移、应变及应力情况,分析边部线状缺陷起源的褶皱的形成过程并通过轧制试验予以验证。分析结果表明,边线形成与变形温度范围内变形抗力的不连续变化具有明显相关性,变形抗力随温度连续变化的钢种轧制过程角部金属不会形成褶皱;变形抗力随变形温度不连续变化的钢种,当板坯角部金属进入两相区时,由于轧制过程两相区变形抗力出现谷值,易出现褶皱并最终演变为边部线状缺陷。
