A force modulation study on crystallization process in ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene copolymer films

This paper introduces the Force Modulation technique to the study of crystallization process in ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene copolymer films. Using this technique we have successfully visualized ferroelectric crystalline domains and observed that these ferroelectric domains grow out from amorphous phase, unite into strip-like structures, and finally congregate into a union. Force Modulation can weaken the influence of topography on imaging of ferroelectric domains, and reveal more details, which are difficult to be observed in topographical image.     

Hard disc drive air bearing design: modified DIRECT algorithm and its application to slider air bearing surface optimization

Hard disk drives continue to increase in areal data density. This requires air bearing sliders with lower and lower flying heights (FH). Also the uniformity of the FH and the flatness of the roll profile with radius become more critical as the FH gets lower. By using modern optimization techniques, it is possible to optimize slider air bearing surface (ABS) designs according to multiple design goals. In this paper, we discuss two modifications to the DIRECT algorithm: one to handle tolerance and one to deal with hidden constraints. Some numerical experiments were carried out using these modifications and the modified DIRECT algorithm was applied to slider ABS optimization. The results show that these two modifications can improve the efficiency of the DIRECT algorithm and they also provide more flexibility in slider ABS optimization.     

Promising alloys for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell interconnect application

The formation of a low Cr-volatility and electrically conductive oxide outer layer atop an inner chromia layer via thermal oxidation is highly desirable for preventing chromium evaporation from solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) metallic interconnects at the SOFC operation temperatures. In this paper, a number of ferritic Fe–22Cr alloys with different levels of Mn and Ti as well as a Ni-based alloy Haynes 242 were cyclically oxidized in air at 800 °C for twenty 100-h cycles. No oxide scale spallation was observed during thermal cycling for any of these alloys. A mixed Mn₂O₃/TiO₂ surface layer and/or a (Mn, Cr)₃O₄ spinel outer layer atop a Cr₂O₃ inner layer was formed for the Fe–22Cr series alloys, while an NiO outer layer with a Cr₂O₃ inner layer was developed for Haynes 242 after cyclic oxidation. For the Fe–22Cr series alloys, the effects of Mn and Ti contents as well as alloy purity on the oxidation resistance and scale area specific resistance were evaluated. The performance of the ferritic alloys was compared with that of Haynes 242. The mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between the different layers in the oxide scale was identified as a potential concern for these otherwise promising alloys.     

Microwave heating synthesis of HgS and PbS nanocrystals in ethanol solvent

A novel route was developed to prepare PbS and HgS nanocrystals in ethanol solvent in the presence of sodium hydroxide by microwave heating method. PbS and HgS nanocrystals were obtained with an average size of approximately 10 and 6 nm, respectively. In the reaction, mercury acetate and lead acetate were used as mercury and lead source; sulfur powder was employed as chalcogenide source. The products were characterized by X-ray powder analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy. The probable mechanism was presented.
