We report the synthesis of the new compounds R15Si9C with R = Sm, Gd-Er, Y and R15Ge9C with R = Ce, Pr and Nd. These compounds crystallize in the hexagonal La15Ge9Fe structure type (hP50, P63mc, Z = 2) which is an ordered superstructure of La5Ge3 (Mn5Si3-type, hP16, P63/mcm, Z = 2). The superstructure is absent in a single-phase R5Ge3C0.33 alloy with R = Sm and Gd. The addition of interstitial carbon modifies the magnetic properties significantly as regards the magnetic transition temperature and the nature of the magnetic ordering. Carbon doping induces mostly a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic configuration. The preponderance of ferromagnetic interactions in the superstructure compounds, with respect to the parent phases, can tentatively be attributed to a change in the sign of the RKKY interactions. The dense Kondo lattice state of Ce in ferrimagnetic Ce5Ge3 is preserved in Ce15Ge9C. Large coercive fields (∼4-5 kOe) at low temperatures are observed in most compounds, which exceed ∼50 kOe in the two Sm based compound. 相似文献
Proteins were isolated from deoiled cakes (DOC) of soybean, castor and rapeseed. The isolated proteins were then blended with LDPE in different wt. ratios, using PEG400 as a plasticizer. The morphology of the blends was evaluated by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Homogeneous blends were obtained and analyzed for various mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength, hardness and % elongation and compared with properties of plastic sheets prepared from mixture of pure proteins. Results revealed that protein composition and amount of LDPE in proteins and LDPE blend, affects the mechanical properties of the plastic compositions considerably. 相似文献
Designing an efficient and stable electrocatalyst made of earth abundant elements to take over expensive noble metal based for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) have been focused. Cobalt disulfide-molybdenum disulfide nanocomposite supported by nitrogen doped reduced graphene oxide and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CoS2/MoS2@NrGO-MWCNT) is reported as an efficient electrocatalyst for HER. CoS2/MoS2@N-rGO-MWCNT and ternary hybrids composed of CoS2, MoS2 and N-rGO/MWCNT have been investigated. The catalysts were prepared by facile hydrothermal method, and the optimal doping ratio referred to date cobalt to molybdenum as 2:1 was chosen. It is found that co-existence of CoS2, MoS2 brings abundant active sites and incorporation of MWCNT offered stability. Good dispersion of CoS2 nanoparticles on graphene and MoS2 sheets is observed. Additionally nitrogen doping on rGO sheets has been carried out to boost up the electronegativity of the catalyst as a support to enhance the catalytic activity of CoS2/MoS2 for refine structure and better electrical conductance. Precisely, CoS2/MoS2@N-rGO-MWCNT exhibited smaller tafel slope 73 mV dec?1 at overpotential 281 mV for current density 10 mA cm?2 and the substantial stability of 14 h is recorded in 0.5 M H2SO4 medium, results suggest that catalyst is viable alternate for HER. 相似文献
To combat exponentially evolved modern malware, an effective Malware Detection System and precise malware classification is highly essential. In this paper, the Linear Support Vector Classification (LSVC) recommended Hybrid Features based Malware Detection System (HF-MDS) has been proposed. It uses a combination of the static and dynamic features of the Portable Executable (PE) files as hybrid features to identify unknown malware. The application program interface calls invoked by the PE files during their execution along with their correspondent category are collected and considered as dynamic features from the PE file behavioural report produced by the Cuckoo Sandbox. The PE files’ header details such as optional header, disk operating system header, and file header are treated as static features. The LSVC is used as a feature selector to choose prominent static and dynamic features from their respective Original Feature Space. The features recommended by the LSVC are highly discriminative and used as final features for the classification process. Different sets of experiments were conducted using real-world malware samples to verify the combination of static and dynamic features, which encourage the classifier to attain high accuracy. The tenfold cross-validation experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HF-MDS is proficient in precisely detecting malware and benign PE files by attaining detection accuracy of 99.743% with sequential minimal optimization classifier consisting of hybrid features.
In the present work, TiO2:Eu3+ (1 mol%–11 mol%) nano powders (NPs) were prepared via a facile one-pot hydrothermal method by using Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) as bio-surfactant. The optimized TiO2:Eu3+ (5 mol%) NPs can be used as fluorescent labeling agent for visualizing of latent fingerprints (LFPs) on various porous and non-porous surfaces. The obtained results exhibit well defined ridge details with high sensitivity, selectivity, and low background hindrance which show greater advantages as compared to conventional powders. We demonstrated the viability of high-performance security labels thorough excellent luminescence for practical anti-mimetic applications. Morphology of the prepared samples is highly dependent on pH, concentration of the bio-surfactant, temperature and time durations. Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra exhibit intense red emission at ~ 615 nm due to electric dipole transition (5D0→7F2). Photometric (CIE and CCT) results clearly show the intense warm red emission of the optimized samples. Therefore, this work offers a superior and universal luminescent label, which can be applied to visualize miniature LFPs particulars for individualization and consequently display great prospective in forensic investigation. 相似文献
Previous investigations show that soot particle volume fraction and number density were significantly reduced by exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) diluents CO2 and H2O. However, these investigations were often convoluted by their experimental flame configurations and primarily focused on soot volume fraction rather than soot inception. To isolate the effects on soot inception and the corresponding chemistry, the current study measured the reactivity of CO2 (up to 9.5% volume fraction) for both C2H2 (1.00% volume fraction) and CH4 (1.85% volume fraction) fuels in homogeneous mixtures. Computed effect of H2O on these and other fuels are also presented. Experiments were performed at high temperature (1640 K and 1770 K) and high equivalence ratios (Φ = 55 and 75) to understand the effect of CO2 on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and formation of nascent soot particles with negligible oxygen influence. Experimental results show that CO2 enhanced the soot inception rate when added to C2H2 but had an undetectable affect on CH4. Gas chromatography confirmed that CO2 increases CO mole fraction and reduces C2H2 fuel concentration. Chemical kinetic simulations showed that the C2H2 was being converted to soot precursors. CO2 enhanced the soot inception rate for C2H2 by producing OH radicals. Images of nascent soot particles produced in the presence of CO2 were used to determine the size of PAH molecules in the particles and particle morphology. Both attributes were similar to particles formed without CO2. CO2 had little impact on the long reaction pathway from CH4 to PAH molecules because H and CH3 radicals propagated these reactions more readily than OH radicals. 相似文献
A complete understanding of soot particle formation is critical for accurate combustion models. Limited details are known about the molecules and physical processes involved in the formation of nascent soot. The objective of this study was to discover molecular size distribution and particle morphology from freshly nucleated particles. To accomplish this, particles created in a homogeneous, high temperature (1600–2000 K) and pressure (10 atm) environment were collected at well-resolved times throughout the early stages of soot formation and were imaged with a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Image post processing revealed that the molecules deposited on both nascent and aged soot particles had a constant size distribution, and that the molecules were likely to be polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules. Additionally, the images revealed particle morphology. At low temperatures, PAH molecules coagulated to form fairly amorphous particle cores. At high temperatures the particle cores became comprised of agglomerated 2–8 nm diameter particles. Eventually all particle cores became surrounded by layers of molecules while the small particles no longer attached as growth species. The imaged transition from small particle agglomeration at the particle core to surface growth was replicated in a coagulation model. The model quantified the increase in small particle agglomeration that was attributed to an increase in the coagulating molecule’s rate of production. 相似文献
The changes in milk fat during the preparation and storage of khoa were studied in three different seasons. Milk fat was extracted from the samples with chloroform using Soxhlet extraction. The solvent was evaporated using a vacuum evaporator followed by nitrogen flushing. The extracted fat samples were analysed for Reichert–Meissl, Polenske, saponification and iodine values, butyro‐refractometer reading at 40 °C and free fatty acids (FFAs). The study revealed an increase in the FFA content during conversion and storage of khoa, while there were small changes in other physicochemical properties of milk fat during the preparation of khoa from raw milk and its subsequent storage at room temperature. 相似文献
A new member belongs to Ba2REZrO5.5 (RE = Rare-Earth) perovskites, viz. Ba2ErZrO5.5, is synthesized as nanocrystals using a combustion process. Unlike the other Ba2REZrO5.5 perovskites, which are cubic, Ba2ErZrO5.5 crystallizes in tetragonal structure having space group P4/mnc (#128). Phase purity and ultrafine morphology of Ba2ErZrO5.5 powders were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform of infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area measurements, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Nanocrystals of Ba2ErZrO5.5 was sintered at ∼1500 °C for 4 h; whereas coarse-grained powders synthesized through solid state reaction could not be sintered even at 1700 °C for prolonged duration. XRD pattern of Ba2ErZrO5.5 was refined for atomic coordinates, lattice parameters, occupancies, and thermal factors using Rietveld analysis of XRD. Dielectric constant (?′) of Ba2ErZrO5.5 at 10 MHz is 21.62 ± 2 and dielectric loss (tan δ) is 5 × 10−3 at room temperature. Similar to the other Ba2REZrO5.5 perovskites, Ba2ErZrO5.5 is also showed chemically stability with YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) and Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2Ox (Bi-2212) superconductors. Ba2ErZrO5.5 can possibly be used as a substrate for high temperature superconductor (HTS) films, or be used as an insulator in the active superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) structures. 相似文献
