Preparation of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x powders by a solution technique

Bulk superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O_7–x powder has been synthesized by a solution technique using a mixture of Ba-ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA) and [Y, Cu]-citric acid complexes. A light-blue, molecular-level, homogeneously mixed precursor was prepared, and transferred to powder form through vacuum drying. The vacuum-dried powder was decomposed at 800 °C for 4 h under flowing oxygen, then heat treated at high temperature from 850 to 950 °C for 6–12 h. The results ofT _c measurements and X-ray analysis show that the orthorhombic, superconducting phase can be formed at temperatures above 850 °C following low-temperature annealing. A sharp transition (T2 K) and high density can be achieved after 930 °C heat treatment. The 930 °C heat treated sample shows aJ _c value of 510 A cm^–2. It is concluded that this solution technique provides better stoichiometric control and lower reaction temperature than the conventional solid-state sintering process.

Comportement chaotique des filtres récursifs adaptatifs: application à la compression des signaux téléphoniques

Adaptive filtering gives simple iterative methods for extracting a useful signal by linearly filtering an observation correlated with this useful signal. When the observation contains past values of the filter output—as is the case for a recursive structure— the adaptive filter is a non linear operator which can generate complex behaviours even though adaptation is a standard derivative of the gradient algorithm. Such behaviours are observed in a particular case : theArma adaptive prediction with a sinusoidal input. A slow adaptation speed involves a quasi-periodic behaviour due to the locally unstable character of the predictor. This phenomenon called selfstabilization persists as the adaptation speed increases. Its study is more complicated : the behaviour becomes chaotic. As an illustration, the digitization of telephone signals throughArma adaptive prediction shows the necessity of controlling the qualitative behaviour of the adaptive filtering solutions.     

Predicting phase equilibrium,phase transformation,and microstructure evolution in titanium alloys

Phase transformation and microstructural evolution in commercial titanium alloys are extremely complex. Traditional models that characterize microstructural features by average values without capturing the anisotropy and spatially varying aspects may not be sufficient to quantitatively define the microstructure and hence to allow for establishing a robust microstructure-property relationship. This article discusses recent efforts in integrating thermodynamic modeling and phase-field simulation to develop computational tools for quantitative prediction of phase equilibrium and spatiotemporal evolution of microstructures during thermal processing that account explicitly for precipitate morphology, spatial arrangement, and anisotropy. The rendering of the predictive capabilities of the phase-field models as fast-acting design tools through the development of constitutive equations is also demonstrated.

Effect of supports on the redox performance of pyrite cinder in chemical looping combustion

Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a clean and efficient flame-free combustion technology,which combust the fuels by lattice oxygen from a solid oxygen carrier with inherent CO2 capture.The develop-ment of oxygen carriers with low cost and high redox performance is crucial to the whole efficiency of CLC process.As the solid by-product from the sulfuric acid production,pyrite cinder presented excellent redox performance as an oxygen carrier in CLC process.The main components in pyrite cinder are Fe2O3,CaSO4,Al2O3 and SiO2 in which Fe2O3 is the active component to provide lattice oxygen.In order to sys-tematic investigate the functions of supports (CaSO4,Al2O3 and SiO2) in pyrite cinder,three oxygen car-riers (Fe2O3-CaSO4,Fe2O3-Al2O3 and Fe2O3-SiO2) were prepared and evaluated in this study.The results showed that Fe2O3-CaSO4 displayed high redox activity and cycling stability in the multiple redox cycles.However,both Fe2O3-Al2O3 and Fe2O3-SiO2 experienced serious deactivation during redox reactions.It indicated that the inert Fe-Si solid solution (Fe2SiO4) was formed in the spent Fe2O3-SiO2 sample,which decreased the oxygen carrying capacity of this sample.The XPS results showed that the oxygen species on the surface of Fe2O3-CaSO4 could be fully recovered after the 20 redox cycles.It can be concluded that CaSO4 is the key to the high redox activity and cycling stability of pyrite cinder.
