The structure, electronic and magnetic properties of nanodiamond and nanographite/nanographene are investigated. Detonation nanodiamond particles that are covered with amorphous graphitic composites are hydrothermally treated to remove the graphitic surface composites and to terminate the surface carbon atoms with hydrogen. The number of localized spins of dangling bonds and the hydrogen concentration increase upon the increase in the hydrothermal treatment time up to 40 h. Above 40 h, both drop discontinuously, a surface structural reconstruction was suggested. The creation of dangling bonds and an incomplete hydrogenation of the surface carbon atoms destabilize the surface, resulting in the structural reconstruction. Nanodiamond particles are thermally converted to nanographite/nanographene. A single nanographene sheet is successfully prepared by heat-treating nanodiamond particles. The edge of graphene sheet with its edge carbon atoms being hydrogen-terminated is investigated by UHV-STM/STS. Zigzag edges are found to have non-bonding π-state of edge origin, in good agreement with theoretical prediction. 相似文献
We investigated the conditions for low-temperature synthesis of ZrC fine powder from ZrO2–Mg–CH4. The synthesis utilizes a thermite-type reaction, with Mg as the reducing agent, and a reaction between Mg and CH4 gas as a carbon source. The Mg/ZrO2 molar ratio as well as the heating rate were varied. Because C can be continuously fed into the reaction group by the cyclic reaction of Mg through the formation and decomposition of Mg2C3 (2Mg + 3CH4→ Mg2C3+ 6H2→ 2Mg + 3C), a molar ratio of 2.2 for Mg/ZrO2 was sufficient for the synthesis of single-phase ZrC. ZrC powders were synthesized under the following conditions: Mg/ZrO2 molar ratio = 2.2, heating rate = 20°C/min, and temperature maintained at 750°C for 30 min. The amount of reaction heat produced in the reduction reaction of ZrO2 by Mg depended on the Mg/ZrO2 molar ratio, specifically, the amount of ZrO2 contained. Moreover, the cyclic reaction of Mg-Mg2C3–Mg was influenced by the amount of reaction heat described above and by the heating rate. The ZrC fine powder showed little aggregation and high dispersibility. 相似文献
Summary This paper describes the so-called No Catalyst Copolymerization between dioxo-1,1-thiazetidine-1,2(Ethanesultam; ESm) and 2-methyl-2-oxazoline. The copolymerization took place without any added initiator to produce copolymers of MeOZO and ESm. The structure of the copolymer was determined by the IR and NMR spectra, elemental analysis, as well as by the result of an alkaline hydrolysis of the copolymer. The reaction scheme of the copolymerization via zwitterion mechanism (Eq 3–5) was proposed. 相似文献
Bromination and subsequent ethylenediamine substitution of the CC double bond in mesoporous ethylenesilica were carried out to explore the characteristics of this periodic mesoporous organosilica. The structures of the products (BrPMO and EDA–BrPMO, respectively) were analysed by IR, Br K-edge EXAFS and NMR spectroscopies, as well as X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption. We showed (1) that the formulae of the two products that formed were [CHBrSiO1.5]0.45[CHSiO1.5]0.55 and [NH2CH2CH2NHCHSiO1.5]0.05 [CHBrSiO1.5]0.40[CHSiO1.5]0.55, respectively, (2) that the addition of Br2 at room temperature occurred on the CC double bonds with disturbing the framework structure, (3) that IR absorption band of CC bonds that reacted with Br2 is significantly different from that of inactive CC bond, (4) that the length of the C–Br bond was considerably longer than in conventional alkyl bromides, and (5) that a large proportion of the ν(C–Br) band remained at the same position in the IR absorption spectrum after the ethylenediamine (EDA) substitution, while a new ν(C–Br) absorption also appeared. The mechanisms of these reactions are discussed at both the micro and mesoscopic levels.
Arsenate adsorption on EDA–BrPMO, in which the EDA is directly bound to the “surface” of the mesopores, was compared with adsorption on EDA–Pr–PMO, which was prepared by the direct synthesis of 3-chloropropyl-functionalized mesoporous ethanesilica followed by the substitution of Cl with EDA. The strength of the adsorption, as measured with the distribution coefficient, was greater for the former adsorbent than the latter. The origin of this difference was attributed to the distance between amino group and the surface. 相似文献
Pulsed electric current sintering (PECS) has been used to densify α-Si3N4 powder doped with oxide additives of Y2O3 and Al2O3. A full density (>99%) was achieved with virtually no transformation to β-phase, resulting in a microstructure with fine equiaxed grains. With further holding at the sintering temperature, the α-to-β phase transformation took place, concurrent with an exaggerated grain growth of a limited number of elongated β-grains in a fine-grained matrix, leading to a distinct bimodal grain size distribution. The average grain size was found to obey a cubic growth law, indicating that the growth is diffusion-controlled. In contrast, the densification by hot pressing was accompanied by a significant degree of the phase transformation, and the subsequent grain growth gave a broad normal size distribution. The apparent activation energy for the phase transformation was as high as 1000 kJ/mol for PECS, almost twice the value for hot pressing (∼500 kJ/mol), thereby causing the retention of α-phase during the densification by PECS. 相似文献
F−- and OH−-free ZnO-B2O3-SiO2-Al2O3-P2O5 glasses used for semiconductor-device passivation or insulation are investigated with regard to compositional dependencies for thermal expansion, viscosity points, and metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor properties. The experimental data show that thermal expansion increases, and flow points decrease, when P2O5 is substituted for B2O3. MOS capacitors passivated by OH−- and F−-free ZnO-based glasses exhibit normal capacitance-voltage curves. 相似文献
Summary Liquid crystalline side-chain polysiloxanes were prepared without metal complex catalyst. Mesogenic groups such as cholesteryl, 4-cyano-4-biphenyl and 4-methoxy-4-biphenyl group were introduced into polysiloxane by esterification and from DSC measurements they were compatible with other liquid crystalline polysiloxanes reported previously. 相似文献
In this paper, we propose a new video conferencing system that presents correct gaze directions of a remote user by switching among images obtained from multiple cameras embedded in a screen according to a local user’s position. Our proposed method reproduces a situation like that in which the remote user is in the same space as the local user. The position of the remote user to be displayed on the screen is determined so that the positional relationship between the users is reproduced. The system selects one of the embedded cameras whose viewing direction towards the remote user is the closest to the local user’s viewing direction to the remote user’s image on the screen. As a result of quantitative evaluation, we confirmed that, in comparison with the case using a single camera, the accuracy of gaze estimation was improved by switching among the cameras according to the position of the local user.
Nitrides of transition metals have good wear- and corrosion-resistant properties because of their high hardness and chemical
stability. Chromium-nitride coatings can be deposited by ion plating; however, the thin thickness due to the slow deposition
rate must be improved for severe wear-resistant applications. The main objective in this paper is to realize good structural
control in the processing of chromiumnitride in situ composite coatings formed at a high deposition rate. They were synthesized
by reactive low-pressure plasma spraying using elemental chromium powder as a spray material. The transferred arc between
the gun electrode and the substrate was used to accelerate the nitriding reaction. The sprayed coatings consist of chromium,
Cr2N, and CrN, which have a composition gradient from the substrate interface to the surface. The volume fraction of Cr2N increases with transferred arc current, and nonreacted chromium concurrently decreases, except close to the substrate. The
CrN phase, however, only exists as a surface layer of 20 to 30 μm because it is decomposed to Cr2N above 1420 K. The hardness of the composite coatings depends on the volume fraction of Cr2N, and it increases to 1300 HV at a Cr2N volume fraction of 0.98. The seizure stress with lubricant depends on the coating hardness. The maximum seizure stress of
24.9 MPa is obtained at a hardness of 1300 HV. The composite coatings also show a superior wear resistance. Hence, the Cr2N in situ composite coatings synthesized by reactive plasma spraying with transferred arc are expected to be good candidates
for wear-resistant applications. 相似文献
