Two low-permittivity melilite ceramics in the SrO-MO-GeO2 (M = Mg,Zn) system and their temperature stability through compositional modifications

Two melilite ceramics Sr₂AGe₂O₇ (A = Mg, Zn) with low permittivity were prepared by a solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure and microstructure of the ceramics were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Both ceramics crystallized in a single melilite structure with a tetragonal space group P-42m (113) and exhibited homogeneous microstructures. Optimum microwave dielectric properties with relative permittivity (ε_r) of 8.56, quality factor (Q × f) of 28,800 GHz, and temperature coefficient of resonance frequency (τ_f) of −70.5 ppm/°C were obtained in Sr₂MgGe₂O₇ sintered at 1330 °C. Sr₂ZnGe₂O₇ possessed ε_r of 8.81, Q × f of 35,700 GHz, and τ_f of −84.4 ppm/°C when sintered at 1290 °C. Thermal stability of resonance frequency was accessible when the negative τ_f values of Sr₂AGe₂O₇ were adjusted after the formation of composite ceramics with CaTiO₃.

Physicochemical characteristics,antioxidant capacity and thermodynamic properties of purple-fleshed potatos dried by radio frequency energy

Abstract

The impacts of using radio frequency (RF) energy to dry purple-fleshed potatoes were investigated and compared to infrared radiation (IR) and microwave (MW) drying techniques. The gelatinization rate, color, flavor, morphological, and structural characteristics, thermodynamic properties, as well as antioxidant capacity were examined. The results indicated that the drying time of RF (70?min) and MW (21?min) were shorter than IR (105?min). The gelatinization ratio of MW, RF, and IR were 94.4?±?2.0, 88.3?±?1.4, and 64.5?±?1.1%, respectively. The degree of crystallization of purple-fleshed potato powder decreased with all three drying methods. RF-dried potatoes were able to retain higher polyphenols (loss rate: 4.3%), total anthocyanin (3.7%), and total flavonoid content (35.1%), whereas IR showed the lowest retention. The content of polyphenols also decreased significantly. Furthermore, after RF heating, the scavenging of free radicals was higher compared to MW and IR.     

A variational approach for free vibrating micro-rods with classical and non-classical new boundary conditions accounting for nonlocal strengthening and temperature effects

Abstract

Transverse vibration of a circular cross sectional micro-rod subjected to a new kind of boundary constraints with elastic torsional springs is presented based on nonlocal elasticity. A nonlocal strengthening beam model is utilized and the effect of temperature changing is taken into consideration. The variational method and Hamilton’s principle are applied to derive the governing equation of motion and corresponding boundary conditions. A higher-order partial differential equation that is a typical characteristic of nonlocal strengthening model is developed, and the boundary conditions contain not only classical conditions but also non-classical higher-order conditions. Unlike previous studies which were only concerned with some conventional boundary constraints, we consider more general boundary conditions named elastic torsional spring supports. Such boundary conditions are between the simply supported and clamped ones, and they are closer to the actual constraints of existing engineering structures. Natural frequencies of micro-rods with new boundary constraints are determined via an eigenvalue method and compared with other results in the literature. It is shown that the nonlocal scale factor, thermal parameter, rigidity parameter and torsional spring coefficient play significant roles in free vibration of micro-rods. The research can provide a reference for a large class of boundary conditions ranging from simply supported to clamped micro-rods.     

Investigation of the residual stress in UO2-Mo composites via a neutron diffraction method

UO₂-Mo composites with a core-shell structure have been considered candidates for the thermal conductivity (TC)-enhanced UO₂ pellets and have demonstrated commercial potential for use in novel high-level safety reactors. Nevertheless, UO₂-Mo composites tend to form micro-cracks that are caused by the presence of residual stress (RS) during manufacturing. In this work, neutron diffraction measurements were employed to analyse the RS in UO₂-Mo core-shell structured composites fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) for the first time. It was found that in the UO₂-Mo composites, the RS state present in the UO₂ matrix was tensile in nature. The RS in the UO₂ matrix increased with increaseing Mo content. There was a maximum value of 148 ± 15 MPa in the UO₂-10 vol% Mo composite. The micro-cracks produced in the high-Mo content composites were explained by the results of the neutron diffraction measurements. These results could provide significant guidance for the manufacturing and improvement of the operational performance of UO₂-Mo composites as next-generation fuels.     

Deposition-environment-dependent structural and magnetic property modification of [111]-oriented epitaxial CoFe2O4 films

We examined the magnetic, structural, and chemical properties of CoFe₂O₄ films deposited on Al₂O₃ substrates using RF-magnetron sputtering under Ar and Ar + O₂ environments. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with large magnetization was observed in the case of the film deposited under the Ar + O₂ environment. However, no significant anisotropy appeared in the film deposited under the Ar environment. Interestingly, depth-dependent X-ray photoelectron spectra showed nearly identical stoichiometric ratios of Co/Fe and oxygen vacancies regardless of the deposition environment. Structurally, high-quality crystallinity with in-plane compressive strain, and lower surface and interfacial roughness were induced in the film deposited under the Ar + O₂ environment. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and X-ray reflectivity measurements showed that oxygen not only suppressed the deposition rate but also increased the electron density of the film, resulting in better crystallinity. Hence, the presence of oxygen during deposition should be considered as one of the essential parameters for improving the structural and magnetic properties of ferrite films.

脉冲电流对6016-T4铝合金板材力学性能的影响

为研究在电流辅助成形时脉冲电流的电流密度、占空比和脉冲频率3个因素对6016-T4铝合金板材力学性能的影响规律,设计了3因素5水平的正交实验。实验表明,对6016-T4铝合金力学性能影响的主次因素是:电流密度>占空比>脉冲频率。在此基础上,选用主次2个因素,即电流密度和脉冲频率,使用控制变量法进行进一步的实验研究。实验结果表明,电流密度对6016-T4铝合金力学性能影响较大,改变电流密度的同时带来了明显的焦耳热效应,该效应对材料有明显的软化作用,降低了材料的流动应力,但是,同时也降低了铝合金板的伸长率,这是因为过大的电流密度加剧了试样的主应变演化,进而促进了试样的断裂。而脉冲频率的变化对6016-T4铝合金板材的力学性能影响很小,这也印证了正交实验的结论。
