Evolution of core–rim structures and phase transformations in infra-red transmitting Y-α-SiAlON ceramics

Core–rim structures were observed as common features in Y-α-SiAlON ceramics hot-pressed between 1550?1950 °C. We found most dopants were taken into α’-rims, and a transition layer grown first on α-cores from liquid-phase over-saturated with metal solutes. Elongated β’-grain were formed as minor phase with α’- or AlN-cores thus only after the α’ matrix had consumed up all Y solutes, revealing that the α’ → β’ transformation is controlled by the transient liquid-phase and similar defects and dangling bonds could be detected in both SiAlON phases by cathodoluminescence. Quantitative assessment of Y_m/3Si_12?(m+n)Al_m+nO_nN_16?n demonstrates the multiphase evolution, initiated by over-saturation of Y solutes at low temperatures thus retaining α-phase as cores to lower the infra-red transmittance, dictated by homogenization of Al solutes at higher temperature. The elimination of those phase boundaries leads to better dopant and sintering design for achieving transparent and high-performance SiAlON ceramics.     

水平方向上的大气透过率和热辐射计算模型研究

水平方向上的空气对流和复杂的地面状况会导致大气热辐射计算的不确定度增大，目标发射起始段的红外辐射特性测量有助于实现目标识别。因此，研究水平大气透过率和热辐射对目标的高精度红外辐射特性测量具有十分重要的意义。针对以上问题，首先借鉴垂直廓线理论建立了同层大气“水平温度廓线”模型，然后推导了水平方向计算大气透过率和热辐射的公式，并对其进行了实验验证。最后将MODTRAN软件计算和实验测量的大气热辐射结果进行了比较。实验结果表明，传统软件的热辐射计算精度为8.65% ，而本文方法的计算精度为4.91%。该实验说明，在水平方向上，这种算法是正确的。通过公式推导和实验验证说明了该方法的合理性，为水平方向大气透过率和热辐射的计算提供了一种新的思路。     

Highly transparent Yb:Y2O3 ceramics obtained by solid-state reaction and combined sintering procedures

(Y_0.87-xLa_0.1Zr_0.03Yb_x)₂O₃ (x?=?0.02, 0.04, 0.05) transparent ceramics were obtained by solid-state reaction and combined sintering procedures with La₂O₃ and ZrO₂ as sintering additives. A method based on two-step intermediate sintering in air followed by vacuum sintering was applied in order to control the densification and grain growth of the samples during the final sintering process. The results indicate that La₂O₃ and ZrO₂ co-additives can improve the microstructure and optical properties of Yb:Y₂O₃ ceramics at relatively low sintering temperature. On the other hand, the addition of Zr⁴⁺ ions leads to the formation of dispersed scattering volumes in the ceramic bodies. Transmittance of 78.8% was measured for the 2.0?at% Yb:Y₂O₃ ceramic sample at the wavelength of 1100?nm. The spectroscopic properties of Yb:Y₂O₃ ceramics were investigated at room temperature. The obtained results show that the absorption cross-section at 978?nm is in the range of 2.08?×?10^–20 to 2.36?×?10^–20 cm², whereas the emission cross-section at 1032?nm is ~1.0?×?10^–20 cm².     

Optical and electrical properties of ITO film on flexible fluorphlogopite substrate

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) films were prepared, at room temperature, on a fluorphlogopite substrate using magnetron sputtering technology. At various temperatures of 500 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C, the samples were (had) annealed for 2 h (a 2-h duration). The results showed improvement in the crystalline performance of ITO film at selected annealing temperatures, with a significant reduction in resistivity at 800 °C. The lowest resistivity is 4.08 × 10^?4 Ω-cm, which is nearly an order of magnitude lower than the unannealed sample. All samples have an average light transmittance above 85% in the visible light range (400–800 nm), and with increasing annealing temperature, the average light transmittance tends to decrease. Besides, at the sensitive wavelength of 550 nm, the light transmittance is as high as 93.74%. The sheet resistance testing of the sample was through the number of bending times, which revealed that with the increase of the number of bending, the sheet resistance increases. However, after 1200 bending times, the change rate of the sheet resistance remains below 5%. Thus, the ITO film prepared on the flexible fluorphlogopite substrate revealed excellent optical and electrical properties, good flexibility, and improved stability after high-temperature annealing, which guarantees successful application in flexible electronic devices.     

γ射线辐照和阳光照射对ZF6铅玻璃透光率的影响

通过实验研究ZF6铅玻璃在~(60)Co放射源相同剂量率不同累积剂量照射下透光率的变化规律。将辐照后的铅玻璃在室外阳光下、室内自然光下和不透光的抽屉中放置观察,发现阳光照射对铅玻璃辐照着色的恢复起着重要作用,在建立铅玻璃透光率随辐照时间变化的数学模型时,室内自然光对铅玻璃透光率的影响可忽略。实验数据验证了受辐照时铅玻璃透光率的变化与辐照时间符合指数函数关系。根据文献资料推导出铅玻璃透光率变化与光照时间为线性函数关系,但发现其与实验数据的符合程度较差,本文根据样条曲线插值法推导出铅玻璃透光率与光照时间为二次函数关系,与实验数据的符合效果较好。     

Preparation and characterization of novel addition cured polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposites using nano‐silica sol as reinforcing filler

A series of novel addition cured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposites with various amounts of nano‐silica sol were prepared via hydrosilylation for the first time. The influence of various amounts of nano‐silica sol on the morphology, thermal behavior, mechanical and optical properties of these PDMS nanocomposites was studied in detail. It was found that with an increment in the amount of nano‐silica sol the reinforcing effect of the nano‐silica sol on the thermal and mechanical properties of the PDMS nanocomposites was very noticeable compared with the reference material. The prominent improvements in resistance to thermal degradation and mechanical properties can probably be attributed to the strong interaction of PDMS chains and uniformly dispersed particles resulting from the nano‐silica sol. However, the transparency of the PDMS nanocomposites slightly decreased with an increment in weight fraction of nano‐silica, compared with that of PDMS composite without nano‐silica (Sol‐0), which can probably be ascribed to an increasing size of the aggregated particles in the PDMS nanocomposites. The optimum amount of nano‐silica sol for preparing novel addition curing PDMS nanocomposites was about 15 wt%. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry

Study of relationship between structure and transmittance of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films

In this paper, the transparent hard diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on glass substrate by magnetic confined radio-frequency plasma chemical vapor deposition. The structure of films was studied by Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), the transmittance of films by Spectrophotometer. The mechanism of the influence of films structure on transmittance of the films was discussed. The results show that the thickness of films was lower than 100nm, and the transmittance was over 90% in 380-780 nm region. Discussion in theory on the influence of film structure on transmittance was correspondence to experiment results.
