Surface structure and quenching effects in BiFeO3-BaTiO3 ceramics

The structure and properties of Mn-doped 0.67BiFeO₃-0.33BaTiO₃ ceramics are systematically investigated with respect to the effects of annealing prior to rapid cooling by quenching in air. Air-quenching induces a change in crystal structure from pseudo-cubic to rhombohedral, with higher quenching temperatures leading to an increased rhombohedral distortion. These structural changes are correlated with the appearance of more well-defined ferroelectric domain configurations. It is shown that the surface preparation procedures for XRD measurements can induce significant changes in the peak profiles, indicating differences in crystal structure between the surface and bulk regions. Frequency dispersion in the temperature-dependent relative permittivity for the as-sintered sample is significantly reduced after quenching, accompanied by enhancement of the Curie point and improved temperature-stability of piezoelectric properties. It is proposed that the formation of defect clusters by A-site cation diffusion during cooling is circumvented by quenching, leading to the observed modification of structural distortion and ferroelectric properties.     

Enhancement of oxygen/pressure sensing performance of Eu3+-doped YSZ phosphors via Bi3+ sensitization

The effects of the incorporation of a Bi³⁺ sensitizer on the phosphorescence properties and oxygen partial pressure sensitivity of the Eu³⁺ doped yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) phosphors were studied using a lifetime-based optical measurement system. Two series of YSZ: Eu phosphors were investigated in this work: Eu_0.01Bi_xY_0.07-xZr_0.92O_1.96 substitutional series and Eu_0.01Bi_xY_0.07Zr_0.92-xO_1.96-0.5x additive series. The phosphorescence intensity of the additive-series phosphors was enhanced by 47% excited at 405 nm with a Bi³⁺ concentration of 2 mol% due to the energy transfer between Bi³⁺ and Eu³⁺. In contrast, the phosphorescence intensity of the substitutional-series phosphors decreased as the Bi³⁺ concentration increased. The phosphorescence lifetimes for both series phosphors were highly sensitive to oxygen partial pressure at elevated temperatures. With increasing Bi³⁺ concentration, the oxygen sensitivities of both series were enhanced initially, which was related to the increment of concentration dependent non-radiative decay via cross-relaxation between Bi³⁺ and Eu³⁺. With 1 mol% Bi³⁺ doping, the oxygen sensitivity was enhanced by 28% and 12% for substitutional-series and additive-series phosphors, respectively. As the Bi³⁺ concentration further increased, the oxygen sensitivities of both series declined, which was attributed to the energy transfer between Bi³⁺, the formation of Bi³⁺ aggregates as well as the increase of the Eu³⁺ site symmetry. The results of this study not only provided valuable references for phosphor thermometry, but also offered new ideas for developing high-temperature non-contact pressure sensors.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of reddish-orange-emitting Ca2GdNbO6:Sm3+ phosphors with good thermal stability for high CRI white applications

Novel reddish-orange-emitting Ca₂GdNbO₆:Sm³⁺ phosphors based on the emission of ⁴G_5/2 → ⁶H_9/2 transition at 651 nm with the chromatic coordinate of (0.633, 0.366) were synthesized. The crystal structure and chemical purity were identified in detail. Under the 407 nm excitation, the optimum concentration of Sm³⁺ ion was found to be 5 mol% dominated by the dipole-dipole interaction in the Ca₂GdNbO₆ host material. The color purity of the sample with optimum doping was estimated to be about 78.38%. Besides, the thermal stability was also studied, and it was further found that the emission intensity remained 65.32% at 423 K. The packaged white LED device exhibited excellent CRI and CCT values of 92.43 and 4896 K. Finally, the polydimethylsiloxane film with a stable structure and flexible property was prepared. These above results reveal that novel reddish-orange-emitting Ca₂GdNbO₆:Sm³⁺ phosphors can be applied in high CRI white communication and flexible display applications.     

Rapid Hormetic Responses of Photosystem II Photochemistry of Clary Sage to Cadmium Exposure

Five-day exposure of clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) to 100 μM cadmium (Cd) in hydroponics was sufficient to increase Cd concentrations significantly in roots and aboveground parts and affect negatively whole plant levels of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), since Cd competes for Ca channels, while reduced Mg concentrations are associated with increased Cd tolerance. Total zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) uptake increased but their translocation to the aboveground parts decreased. Despite the substantial levels of Cd in leaves, without any observed defects on chloroplast ultrastructure, an enhanced photosystem II (PSII) efficiency was observed, with a higher fraction of absorbed light energy to be directed to photochemistry (Φ_PSΙΙ). The concomitant increase in the photoprotective mechanism of non-photochemical quenching of photosynthesis (NPQ) resulted in an important decrease in the dissipated non-regulated energy (Φ_NO), modifying the homeostasis of reactive oxygen species (ROS), through a decreased singlet oxygen (¹O₂) formation. A basal ROS level was detected in control plant leaves for optimal growth, while a low increased level of ROS under 5 days Cd exposure seemed to be beneficial for triggering defense responses, and a high level of ROS out of the boundaries (8 days Cd exposure), was harmful to plants. Thus, when clary sage was exposed to Cd for a short period, tolerance mechanisms were triggered. However, exposure to a combination of Cd and high light or to Cd alone (8 days) resulted in an inhibition of PSII functionality, indicating Cd toxicity. Thus, the rapid activation of PSII functionality at short time exposure and the inhibition at longer duration suggests a hormetic response and describes these effects in terms of “adaptive response” and “toxicity”, respectively.     

干熄焦锅炉炉管失效机理分析

通过对干熄焦锅炉炉管及腐蚀产物开展系统研究，提出炉管失效原因为氧化/硫腐蚀＋高温粉尘冲刷。长寿命炉管仅耐磨层发生了较为严重的氧化及硫腐蚀，而近基体层发生了轻微氧化及硫腐蚀，基体只发生了轻微氧化；短寿命炉管耐磨层、近基体层以及基体裂纹内均发生了较为严重的氧化及硫腐蚀，且存在珠光体球化、内表面产生全脱碳层等缺陷。推测短寿命炉管存在超温现象，而超温可加剧氧化及硫腐蚀反应。此外，短寿命炉管遭受了较为严重的高温粉尘冲刷，不仅可造成炉管减薄，还会导致炉管表面温度升高。因此，减少循环气体中粉尘量尤其是大颗粒，可有效减弱冲刷以及控制炉管表面温度，是提高炉管使用寿命的关键。     

气瓶内部淬火过程的流动换热特性

 大直径厚壁气瓶内部淬火时的流动换热过程极其复杂，受到多种因素的影响，而研究气瓶内部压强和温度的变化规律对改善流动换热效果、提高产品组织性能具有重要的理论指导意义。以914 mm厚壁气瓶和瓶内流体为研究对象，建立了二维等效流 固耦合模型；采用多喷嘴系统对气瓶内外进行喷水淬火，研究了气瓶总长、喷水流速及淬火时间对瓶内压强及内壁温度的影响，通过间歇淬火试验验证了数学模型的正确性。结果发现，气瓶长度对瓶内压强和瓶壁温度的影响显著，喷水流速次之，当喷水流速大于8 m/s后，水量对瓶壁的冷却效果大大降低；气瓶内壁长度方向的温度梯度分别随气瓶总长的增加和淬火时间的延长而减小，但基本不受喷水量的影响。
