Ti-Cu-Zr-Fe-Sn-Si-Ag-Pd Bulk Metallic Glasses with Potential for Biomedical Applications

Ti₄₇Cu_38−xZr_7.5Fe_2.5Sn₂Si₁Ag₂Pd_x (x = 1, 2, 3, and 4 atomic percent, at. pct) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with potential for biomedical applications were fabricated by copper-mold casting. The Ti-based BMGs exhibited high glass-forming ability (GFA) with critical diameters of 4 to 5 mm and a supercooled liquid region over 50 K, though the high contents of Pd slightly decreased the GFA. The additions of 2 and 3 at. pct Pd benefited the improvement of plasticity, and the resultant BMGs showed the relatively low Young’s modulus of about 100 GPa, high compressive strengths of 2174 to 2340 MPa, and compressive plastic strain of around 4 pct. The addition of Pd also decreased the passive current density and increased the pitting potential of the Ti-based BMGs in the Hank’s solution, leading to the enhanced bio-corrosion resistance of the BMGs. Furthermore, the cell adhesion, viability, and proliferation behaviors revealed that the present Ti-based BMGs possess as good biocompatibility as that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. These results demonstrated the potential of the Ti-Cu-Zr-Fe-Sn-Si-Ag-Pd BMGs as biomedical materials.

基于FDSOI的TFET和MOSFET总剂量效应仿真

对基于全耗尽绝缘体上硅(FDSOI)的隧穿场效应晶体管(TFET)器件和金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(MOSFET)器件进行了总剂量(TID)效应仿真,基于两种器件不同的工作原理,研究了总剂量效应对两种器件造成的电学影响,分析了辐照前后TFET和MOSFET的能带结构、载流子密度等关键因素的变化。仿真结果表明:两种器件在受到较大辐射剂量时(1 Mrad (Si)),TFET受辐射引起的固定电荷影响较小,仍能保持较好的开关特性、稳定的阈值电压;而MOSFET则受固定电荷的影响较大,出现了背部导电沟道,其关态电流增加了几个数量级,开关特性发生了严重退化,阈值电压也严重地向负电压偏移。此外,TFET的开态电流会随着辐照剂量的增加而减小,这与MOSFET的表现恰好相反。因此TFET比MOSFET有更好的抗总剂量效应能力。     

Low sintering shrinkage porous mullite ceramics with high strength and low thermal conductivity via foam-gelcasting

Excessive sintering shrinkage leads to severe deformation and cracking, affecting the microstructure and properties of porous ceramics. Therefore, reducing sintering shrinkage and achieving near-net-size forming is one of the effective ways to prepare high-performance porous ceramics. Herein, low-shrinkage porous mullite ceramics were prepared by foam-gelcasting using kyanite as raw material and aluminum fluoride (AlF₃) as additive, through volume expansion from phase transition and gas generated from the reaction. The effects of AlF₃ content on the shrinkage, porosity, compressive strength, and thermal conductivity of mullite-based porous ceramics were investigated. The results showed that with the increase of content, the sintering shrinkage decreased, the porosity increased, and mullite whiskers were produced. Porous mullite ceramics with 30 wt% AlF₃ content exhibited a whisker structure with the lowest shrinkage of 3.5%, porosity of 85.2%, compressive strength of 3.06 ± 0.51 MPa, and thermal conductivity of 0.23 W/(m·K) at room temperature. The temperature difference between the front and back sides of the sample reached 710°C under high temperature fire resistance test. The low sintering shrinkage preparation process effectively reduces the subsequent processing cost, which is significant for the preparation of high-performance porous ceramics.
