Interface evolution in the platelet-like SiC@C and SiC@SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> monocrystal nanocapsules

Carbon-coated SiC@C nanocapsules (NCs) with a hexagonal platelet-like morphology were fabricated by a simple direct current (DC) arc-discharge plasma method.The SiC@C NCs were monocrystalline,120-150 nm in size,and approximately 50 nm thick.The formation of the as-prepared SiC@C NCs included nucleation of truncated octahedral SiC seeds and subsequent anisotropic growth of the seeds into hexagonal nanoplatelets in a carbon-rich atmosphere.The disordered carbon layers on the SiC@C NCs were converted into SiO2 shells of SiC@SiO2 NCs by heat treatment at 650 ℃ in air,during which the shape and inherent characteristics of the crystalline SiC core were obtained.The interface evolution from carbon to SiO2 shells endowed the SiC@SiO2 NCs with enhanced photocatalytic activity due to the hydrophilic and transparent nature of the SiO2 shell,as well as to the photosensitive SiC nanocrystals.The band gap of the nanostructured SiC core was determined to be 2.70 eV.The SiC@SiO2 NCs degraded approximately 95％ of methylene blue in 160 min under visible light irradiation.     

An activity-list-based nested partitions algorithm for resource-constrained project scheduling

The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) has received wide attention. In this paper, an activity-list-based nested partitions algorithm (ALNP) is developed for solving the RCPSP and a P-ALNP is proposed to improve ALNP with local adjustment. In the algorithms, to improve the search efficiency, a partial double justification is employed as local search mechanism. The computational experiments on the PSPLIB and analysis on robustness of the algorithms show that ALNP outperforms the traditional serial scheduling scheme for solving the large-scale, complex RCPSPs, and P-ALNP can improve ALNP and obtain better results. P-ALNP is a competitive algorithm for solving the RCPSP.
