The phosphorescence emission in undoped lead-halide Cs4PbBr6 single crystals at low temperature

Recently, all-inorganic cesium lead-halide perovskites have shown their promise for light emission applications, due to the excellent optical performance. Herein, we report that the initially nonphosphorescent undoped lead-halide Cs₄PbBr₆ single crystals (SCs) exhibit an ultralong phosphorescence emission under X-ray excitation at low temperatures. It is shown that the dramatic change has been taken place in radioluminescence spectra and the broad-band emission gradually appeared with the decrease of temperature. Below 210 K, the radioluminescence spectra can be deconvoluted into one narrow peak located at 530 nm and two broad peaks centered at 595 nm and 672 nm respectively. Subsequently, the time-dependent radioluminescence spectra in undoped lead-halide Cs₄PbBr₆ SCs were investigated. The ultralong phosphorescence emission can persist over 120 min at 70 K. We consider that ultralong phosphorescence originates from defect-related emission. To the best of our knowledge, our finding is the first time that undoped Cs₄PbBr₆ SCs exhibit the phosphorescence emission, which will offer a paradigm to motivate revolutionary applications on perovskite.     

Decomposition process of bastnaesite concentrate in NaOH-CaO-H_2O system

A novel process of calcification-leaching for bastnaesite concentrate(REFCO_3) was proposed. The prior calcification was carried out in the system of NaOH-CaO-H_2O and the lgC-pH pattern for Ce-F-Ca-C-H_2O system was drawn. The thermodynamics result indicates that decomposition for bastnaesite requires certain alkaline condition, but excessive alkalinity also causes decomposition of CaF_2. XRD and SEM-EDS analyses on the calcification-leaching process reveal that bastnaesite first decomposes into RE(OH)_3 and CaF_2. Then, by HCl leaching rare earths were extracted,while CaF_2 was left in the leaching residue. In addition, effects of temperature, time, NaOH and CaO on the calcification were investigated. The results show that the leaching rate of rare earths(REs)reaches 72.5 wt%, at the same time 99.2 wt% of F is left in leaching residue with 20 wt% NaOH and 38 wt% CaO at 493 K for 180 min.

An improved iterated greedy algorithm with a Tabu-based reconstruction strategy for the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem

This paper proposes a Tabu-mechanism improved iterated greedy (TMIIG) algorithm to solve the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem with a makespan criterion. The idea of seeking further improvement in the iterated greedy (IG) algorithm framework is based on the observation that the construction phase of the original IG algorithm may not achieve good performance in escaping from local minima when incorporating the insertion neighborhood search. To overcome this limitation, we have modified the IG algorithm by utilizing a Tabu-based reconstruction strategy to enhance its exploration ability. A powerful neighborhood search method that involves insert, swap, and double-insert moves is then applied to obtain better solutions from the reconstructed solution in the previous step. Empirical results on several benchmark problem instances and those generated randomly confirm the advantages of utilizing the new reconstruction scheme. In addition, our results also show that the proposed TMIIG algorithm is relatively more effective in minimizing the makespan than other existing well-performing heuristic algorithms.

Synergistic effect of polyindole decoration on bismuth neodymium ferrite powder for achieving wideband microwave absorber

Recently, composite materials with outstanding absorption properties, like extraordinary absorbing capability, light weight, and thin in size, are required to solve the challenges of electromagnetic pollution. In addition, most of the work is based on the optimization of absorber material structure, and microstructure. In the current work, we improved the reflection loss feature of Bi_0.5Nd_0.5FeO₃ nanopowders via decoration with polyindole polymer by tuning the filler loading of the nanocomposite in the matrix. XRD, UV–Vis, XPS, and FESEM were used to determine the physicochemical features of the as-prepared nanocomposite. The minimum RL was lowered further with the increasing filler loading at 25 wt%. The lower RL of ?22 dB was noticed for 2.2 mm thickness at 11.5 GHz. The maximum value of the SE_R for a 25 wt% sample was 5.5, whereas 19 dB and 24.5 dB values were recorded for SE_A and SET, respectively. The resonance peak above 11.5 GHz demonstrated the better outcome of the absorber at high frequency. Good impedance matching characteristics, conductive features, dielectrics, and magnetic losses were all credited with the excellent reflection loss and electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency. The as-prepared nanocomposite materials that have been proven are interesting prospects for electromagnetic reflection loss and interference shielding that is lightweight, flexible, and extremely effective.     

硫酸盐-冻融循环下自感应水泥砂浆的耐久及压敏性能

为提升寒冷地区建筑结构的实时损伤监测效果,研究了硫酸盐-冻融循环作用下采用短切碳纤维与铁尾矿作为导电材料制备的自感应水泥砂浆的耐久与压敏性能。利用质量损失、相对动弹性模量及抗压强度损失为依据探讨耐久性能变化规律,以电阻率变化率-压应力的相关关系反映硫酸盐-冻融循环作用下压敏性能发展规律并解释其导电机理,并采用平均应力敏感系数评价硫酸盐-冻融循环作用下压敏性能稳定性。结果表明,碳纤维体积掺量为0.4%、铁尾矿替代率为30%(质量分数)组合掺入水泥砂浆时,其耐久性能与压敏性能均达到较高水平,但硫酸盐-冻融循环造成的孔洞与裂缝会导致铁尾矿碳纤维水泥砂浆电阻率变化率-压应力呈一阶指数衰减关系,可采用Plane模型来反映平均应力敏感系数衰减程度与冻融循环次数、铁尾矿替代率之间良好的相关关系。     

初始缝高比对钢纤维混凝土断裂性能的影响

为研究初始缝高比对钢纤维混凝土断裂性能的影响,对三种不同初始缝高比(0.1、0.2、0.3)的钢纤维混凝土开展断裂韧性试验,计算相关的断裂参数,并借助声发射(AE)和数字图像法(DIC)分析了裂缝发展过程中AE能量和全场应变的变化规律。结果表明,钢纤维混凝土的断裂韧性随初始缝高比的增大呈减小趋势,当初始缝高比为0.3时钢纤维混凝土的断裂性能大幅下降。钢纤维混凝土的断裂过程可根据AE能量划分为弹塑性阶段、裂纹稳定扩展阶段和断裂阶段,随初始缝高比增加,弹塑性阶段持续时间减少。DIC分析结果表明,在整个加载过程中,预制裂缝尖端会产生较大的应力集中,裂缝的横向应变较大。研究结果揭示了钢纤维混凝土裂缝发展机理,可为其工程应用提供理论支持。     

Linking the mechanical properties of frozen sandstone to phase composition of pore water measured by LF-NMR at subzero temperatures

Water-bearing porous rocks can be greatly strengthened by freezing; its microscopic mechanisms lie in how subzero temperature modifies pore structure but have not yet been clearly defined. In this study, we link the mechanical properties of frozen sandstone to phase composition of pore water (i.e., relative amount of unfrozen water and ice). Both the strength (uniaxial compressive strength and tensile strength) and the phase composition of pore water (tested through the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method) of frozen sandstone at nine subzero temperatures were measured. The results showed the following: (1) subzero temperature strengthened saturated sandstone significantly, both the strengths increased in a three-stage mode and each stage showed an approximately linear trend as temperature decreased from 0 to – 20 °C; and (2) change of phase composition with freezing displayed two distinct stages: the rapid decreasing stage of unfrozen water content (0 to – 4 °C), when bulk water and capillary water froze almost completely, and the slow decreasing stage (? 4 to – 20 °C), when adsorbed water froze partially. Based on direct observations on microscopic pore structure of sandstone and detailed discussion on the mechanical interactions between water, ice, and pore wall, phase composition may modify the mechanical properties of frozen rocks through the following effects: the supporting effect of ice under compression, the crack-filling effect of ice, the cementing effect of unfrozen water film under tension or under shearing load, and the frost damage effect. The former three are strengthening effects, while the latter one is weakening effect.
