Effects of the precursor size on the morphologies and properties of γ-Ce_2S_3 as a pigment

Ceria spheres with different sizes and sulfurized products with corresponding morphology were prepared by hydrothermal and gas-solid reaction method at 600–800 °C under CS2 atmosphere for a short time, respectively. Dimensional effect in preparation of γ-Ce2S3 was firstly investigated by means of techniques such as scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA) and spectrophotometer. The results showed that when ceria nanoparticles with small size were used as precursors, the γ-Ce2S3 could be prepared at the lower temperature and the badly sintered products were obtained; when ceria nanoparticles with large size were employed as precursors, pure γ-Ce2S3 was difficultly obtained even if the temperature was up to 800 °C and the products tended to keep their original size. The heat-resistance property of the γ-Ce2S3 with large size was better than the smaller one, and the pure γ-Ce2S3 prepared from precursor with small size had a good pigmentary performance.     

Preparation and stabilization of γ-La_2S_3 at low temperature

Eu doped γ-La2S3 were synthesized by the sulfurization of their oxide powders using CS2 gas at 700 ℃. During the sulfurizing reaction process, the cubic Eu3S4 crystals of prior formation acted as the nuclei sites of the γ-La2S3 phase to facilitate the nucleation process. The γ-La2S3 transformation occurred at significantly lower temperature by the combined contributions of low transformation enthalpy and induced multiple nuclei. On the other hand, the doped Eu ions could be inserted into the empty tetrahedr...     

Study of K~+ doping on structure and properties of γ-Ce_2S_3

In this study,K~+-doped γ-Ce_2 S_3 was successfully prepared via a gas-solid reaction method using CeO_2,K_2 CO_3,and CS_2 as raw materials.The effects of the suitable sulfide system and different molar ratios of K to Ce(n_(K/Ce)=0-0.30) on the phase composition,crystal structure,chromaticity and thermal stability ofγ-Ce_2 S_3 were systematically investigated.Pure γ-Ce_2 S_3 was obtained by calcining the doped samples at840℃ for 150 min.After calcination at the same temperature the undoped K+samples exhibit a pure α-phase.Samples with a K/Ce molar ratio(n_(K/Ce)) of 0.10-0.25 comprise only the γ-phase;and when n_(K/Ce) exceeds 0.25,a new heterogeneous phase,KCeS_2,emerges.For values of n_(K/Ce) in the range of0-0.25,the γ-Ce_2 S_3 lattice parameters gradually increases with increasing K~+ content.When n_(K/Ce)exceedes 0.25,the lattice parameters remains unchanged.As n_(K/Ce) increased,the synthesized color gradually changes from red to orange—red and finally,to yellow.The redness value a~* reaches the maximum(L~*=33.86,a~*=36.68,b~*=38.15) when n_(K/Ce)=0.10,The n_(K/Ce)=0.10 composition continues to exhibit the y-phase after heat treatment at 420℃ for 10 min in air.The K+doping fills the internal vacancies of γ-Ce_2 S_3 and formed a solid solution,which is beneficial for the stability of its lattice,thus improving the thermal stability of γ-Ce_2 S_3(from 350 to 420℃).     

Synthesis of γ-Ce_2S_3 colorant under low temperature and its coloring properties for PE and PVC

A series of cerium sulfides were successfully prepared using commercially available nanoscale CeO_2 as precursor, anhydrous Na_2CO_3 as dopants, CS_2 as sulfur source, under 600–800 oC, respectively. Properties of samples were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and spectrophotometry. The results showed that corresponding γ-Ce_2S_3 with small size was obtained by using nanoscale CeO_2 as precursor; pure phase γ-Ce_2S_3 could be obtained under low temperature of 700 oC. Coloring properties of γ-Ce_2S_3 obtained under 800 oC were studied by researching γ-Ce_2S_3/PE and γ-Ce_2S_3/PVC composites, respectively. The results showed that satisfied coloring effects to PE and PVC were obtained by using 0.5 phr and 0.2 phr γ-Ce_2S_3, respectively.     

Ca~(2+)掺杂对γ-Ce_2S_3红色色料的结构及性能的影响

以CeO_2为铈源, CaCO_3为离子掺杂源, CS_2为硫源,采用气-固相反应法,在硫化制度900℃硫化150 min时制得Ca~(2+)离子掺杂的γ-Ce_2S_3红色色料。系统研究了不同的Ca, Ce摩尔比(n_(Ca)/n_(Ce)=0～0.5)对γ-Ce_2S_3的物相组成、晶体结构、呈色性能及温度稳定性的影响。研究结果表明:当未掺入Ca~(2+)时,所得样品为纯α相,当n_(Ca)/n_(Ce)=0.1时,为α相与γ相共存;而当n_(Ca)/n_(Ce)=0.2～0.5时,α相已完全转变为γ相,并产生少量的CaS,且随着掺杂量的增大,γ-Ce_2S_3的晶胞参数逐渐减小,产生的CaS含量则略有增加,说明部分Ca~(2+)成功进入晶格并形成固溶体,另有少量Ca~(2+)则与S~(2-)结合形成CaS;随着n_(Ca)/n_(Ce)增加,所合成样品的色调逐渐由暗红色向红色再向橙红色转变,且当n_(Ca)/n_(Ce)=0.4时,样品的红度值a~*达到最高(L~*=31.75,a~*=24.50,b~*=16.01)。将该组分色料在空气气氛中490℃保温10 min后仍以γ相稳定存在,表明通过Ca~(2+)离子的掺杂,填补γ-Ce_2S_3晶格空位并形成固溶体,有利于稳定其晶格,从而使γ-Ce_2S_3的温度稳定性由350℃提升至490℃。

Effect of Thickness and Annealing Temperature on Magnetic Properties of Ultrathin γ-Fe2O3 Films Grown on Silicon Substrate

The effect of thickness and annealing temperature on magnetic properties of ultrathin γ-Fe₂O₃ films with MgO buffer layer grown on silicon substrate is investigated. The saturation magnetization and coercive force of samples at room temperature increase with increasing of annealing temperature, and decrease as annealing temperature is above 873 K (600 °C). The saturation magnetization of samples decreases with increasing of the thickness of γ-Fe₂O₃ at room temperature. The samples with 3 to 4 nm thick γ-Fe₂O₃ annealed at 873 K (600 °C) show saturation magnetization of about 400 emu/cm³, which is close to the bulk value of ~390 emu/cm³ within the error range.     

Effect of Eu~(3+) contents on structure and luminescence properties of Na_3Bi_(2–x)(PO_4)_3:xEu~(3+) and Na_3Bi_(1–x)(PO_4)_2:xEu~(3+) phosphors

A series of Na_3Bi_(2–x)(PO_4)_3:xEu~(3+) and Na_3Bi_(1–x)(PO_4)_2:xEu~(3+) phosphors were successfully synthesized by solid-state method.The structure and luminescence properties were carefully investigated.The excitation spectra presented an obvious excitation band,and the peak was located at 396 nm,which matched well with the popular emissions from near-UV light-emitting diode chips.With the phase of Na_3Bi_(2–x)(PO_4)_3:xEu~(3+) changing to that of Na_3Bi_(1–x)(PO_4)_2:xEu~(3+),the intensity of magnetic dipole transition(~5D_0→F_1) at 598 nm became stronger than that of electric dipole transition(~5D_0→~7F_2) at 621 nm.Under 396 nm excitation,the chromaticity coordinates and the decay curves of the entitled phosphors were also investigated.Based on all experiments without concentration quenching,we could control the luminescence intensity of the material by adjusting the doping amount of the active ions.All results indicated that Na_3Bi_(2–x)(PO_4)_3:xEu~(3+) and Na_3Bi_(1–x)(PO_4)_2:xEu~(3+) phosphors have potential application as red phosphors in near UV chip-based white light emitting diodes.

Origin of the red luminescence in Sr_3Al_2O_6:Eu phosphor ——From the synergetic effects of Eu~(2+) and Eu~(3+)

In order to uncover the real origin of red luminescence from Sr_3Al_2O_6:Eu and the physical mechanisms that were involved in the dynamical process of luminescence, variant amount of Eu and Dy activated Sr_3Al_2O_6 phosphors were synthesized with the solid-state reaction and the combustion-assisted solid-state reaction, respectively, using the fine graphite powder or the mixed H_~(2+)N_2gases as a reducing agent. The phase was examined with XRD analysis and the photoluminescence properties were characterized by a fluorescence spectrometer. Although the phosphors possessed the same Sr_3Al_2O_6 phase, different emission colors(red or green) were obtained, relying on synthesis conditions. The simultaneous existence of Eu~(2+) and Eu~(3+) was not only observed in the emission and excitation spectra, but also identified with the near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy(NEXAFS).The mixed valence(higher than +2 and less than +3) of Eu may be related with the six different sites of Sr, whose effective valence ranged from +1.5058 to +2.2698, in the crystal lattice of Sr_3Al_2O_6 that could accommodate Eu. Moreover, the reduction of Eu~(3+) to forming Eu~(2+) depended on the amount of Eu~(3+) or Dy~(3+) doped, due to the different energy barrier in each site of Sr that Eu had to overcome. The residual Eu~(3+), similar to the doped Dy~(3+), played an important role in supplying the hole for Eu~(~(2+)) to form a bound trap(Eu~(2+))* after excitation. During electron returning to the 4f~7 ground state of Eu~(2+), the red luminescence was radiated. Therefore, the synergetic effects of Eu~(2+) and Eu~(3+)(Dy~(3+)) produce red luminescence.     

Preparation and thermoelectric properties of ternary rare earth sulfide γ-Ce_(3–x)Eu_xS_4

The effect of Eu-substitution on the density and thermoelectric properties of ternary sulfide Ce3–xEuxS4 (0≤x≤0.8) compacts was investigated. Ce3–xEuxS4 powders were prepared via the sulfurization of the oxide using CS2 gas at 1473 K. The pressureless sintered Ce3–xEuxS4 compacts in the atmosphere were crystallized in the γ-phase. The density of the Ce3–xEuxS4 compacts increased with the increas-ing of Eu-substitution. Eu-substitution yielded a higher Seebeck coefficient and lower electrical resistivity. The highest value of the thermoe-lectric power factor of 1.41×10–4 W/K2m was obtained for the Ce2.2Eu0.8S4 compact at 673 K. It indicated that Eu-substitution was effective for improving thermoelectric properties of Ce3–xEuxS4.     

Effect of AI2O3 on Structure and Wearability of Composite Coating

The composite coating was prepared by thermal spray welding after making composite powder, which is composed of Ni based self melted alloy and AI2O3 ceramic powder including nano, sub-micron and micron powders. The influences of contents and sizes of AI2O3 on the structure and wearability were investigated. The results show that the wear resistance of the coating would be increased greatly by adding AI2O3, but the spray weldability decreases with increasing AI2O3 content. So there is an optimal content of AI2O3 powder. The composite coating with AI2O3 nano or sub micron powder of 0.5% has the best abrasive resistance, while the optimal content of AI2O3a micron powder is 1%.     

Experimental Study and Thermodynamical Calculation on the Formation of Eutectic Phase of MnS-RE_2S_3 and(Mn,Ca)S-RE_2S_3 in Sulfur-Containing Free-Cutting Steel

The free-cutting phase in RE or Ca-RE treated sulfur-containing free-cutting steel is the eutectic phasesof MnS-RE_2S_3 and (Mn,Ca)S-RE_2S_3,respectively.The atomic ratio of RE/S needed to modify all theMnS into the eutectic phase is higher than 1.48 or 1.41-1.37 Ca/S,when RE or Ca-RE is used as the modifiz-er in the sulfur-containing free-cutting steel.Moreover,the thermodynamical calculation shows that theeutectic temperature is lower than the solidifying temperature,which is the key condition for the eutectic phase tokeep globual during solidifying.

Effect of La2O3 on Microstructure and Transmittance of Transparent Alumina Ceramics

Optically transparent alumina ceramics were fabricated by conventional process and sintered without pressure in H2 atmosphere. The results indicate that relative densities of alumina specimens increase to theoretical densities （T. D. ） with increasing content of La2O3. With increasing holding time during sintering, much less pores and larger grains were found in the sintered alumina samples. Higher transmittance was achieved in alumina codoped with MgO and La2O3 as compared with that doped with MgO only. The total-transmittance of alumina sample is up to 86% at twavelength range of 300 - 800 nm.     

Investigation of 2.9 μm luminescence properties and energy transfer in Tm~(3+)/Dy~(3+) co-doped chalcohalide glasses

A series of chalcohalide glasses based on the composition of 0.9(Ge30Ga5Se65)-0.1CsI with different Tm3+/Dy3+-codoped ions concentrations were synthesized by melt-quenching technique.The absorption spectra and 2.9 μm mid-infrared fluorescence spectra of glass samples under 800 nm laser excitation were measured.The results showed that Tm3+ was an efficient sensitizer,which could enhance the Dy3+: 2.9 μm fluorescence intensity significantly.The effective energy transfer between the two rare-earth ions were mainly attributed to the resonance energy transfer from Tm3+:3F4 to Dy3+:6H11/2 level.Emission cross section of 2.9 μm mid-infrared luminescence was also investigated according to Judd-Ofelt theory,σe=2.51×10–20 cm2.     

Effect of stress and temperature on the creep and rupture behavior of a 1.25 Pct chromium—0.5 Pct molybdenum steel

The creep and stress rupture behavior of a normalized 1.25 pct chromium-0.5 pct molybdenum steel has been investigated over a temperature (T) range of 510 to 620°C and a stress(σ) range of 65 to 425 MN/m². The creep rate ( ) and time to rupture (t _r ) data have been analyzed in terms of the general expression ort _r -A σⁿ exp (Q/RT), whereA is a constant,n is the power exponent of stress,Q is an empirical activation energy for the rate controlling process andR is the universal gas constant. At each temperature, the logarithmic plots of creep rate and time to rupture as functions of stress consist of two linear segments, separating the data into low stress and high stress regimes. The stress exponent has approximate values of 4 and 10 in the low stress and high stress regimes respectively in the appropriate expressions for both creep rate and for time to rupture. The activation energy has values of 367 and 420 kJ/mole in the low stress regime for time to rupture and creep rate respectively. In the high stress regime, the respective values of activation energy are 581 and 670 kJ/mole. Fractographic observations show that the changes from low stress to high stress behavior in creep rate and time to rupture approximately coincide with the transition in fracture mode from intergranular to transgranular cracking as well as with the transition in the rupture ductility from a region of linear variation with stress to one of constant ductility. These observations suggest that the transition from low stress to high stress behavior may be associated with a change in deformation mode from predominantly grain boundary sliding at low stress to transgranular matrix deformation at high stress. Analysis of the creep rate data based on this premise enables calculation of the ratio of the contributions of the grain boundary sliding mode to the total deformation (ε _gb /ε _T ) at various values of stress and temperature. Results of this analysis are consistent with numerous experimental observations reported in the literature.
