Influence of the silicon surface treatment by plasma etching and scratching on the nucleation of diamond grown in HFCVD - a comparative study

A comparative study for the nucleation of diamond was carried out using surface treatment like (i) surface scratching with 1 μm diamond paste and (ii) surface etching using chlorine plasma at different RF powers (50, 100 and 150 W). Atomic force microscopic study shows variation in roughness from 31 nm to 110 nm. Scratching results in random scratches, whereas plasma etches a surface uniformly. Scanning electron microscopic observations show well faceted crystallites with a predominance of angular shaped grains corresponding to 〈100〉 and 〈110〉 crystallite surfaces for the scratched as well as plasma etched substrate. Surface etching at 150 W plasma power results in a better growth in comparison with 50 and 100 W plasma powers. Chlorine-radical is found responsible for the changes in the growth morphology. Raman spectroscopy shows a sharp peak at 1,332 cm⁻¹ and a peak at ∼1,580 cm⁻¹ for both samples.     

Electromagnetic properties of ferroelectric-ferrite ceramic composites

The NiFe₂O₄ and Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃ ceramic composites are prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The microstructural and morphological properties of the composites are studied by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Results indicate that the ferrite and piezoelectric phases can co-exist in the composites. The relationship between the dielectric constant and frequency (40 Hz–40 MHz) as well as temperature is also investigated. It is noted that the transition temperature of the composites is about 380 °C. A double electric hysteresis loop is observed in our composites. The magnetic properties are relatively weak according to the magnetic hysteresis loop. With increase in the content of the ferrite phase, the permeability increases. The electromagnetic properties of the as-prepared composites are tunable according to the content of the NiFe₂O₄ phase.

Prediction of compressive strength and optimization of mixture proportioning in ternary cementitious systems

This paper discussed the application of the method of the simplex-lattice design for predicting the properties of cement-based composites. On the basis of the compressive strength, its use was demonstrated on ternary paste systems composed of cement, silica fume and fly ash with constant water to binder ratio and a mass fraction of mineral admixtures not exceeding 30%. The regression model between compressive strength of paste and binder proportion was built up. The F-test method was utilized for validation of the regression model. The nonlinear programming system with upper and lower bound was solved. This allowed assessment of optimum mixture proportions and corresponding maximum compressive strength. It was shown that: (1) the 3rd-order regression model constructed by using the simplex-lattice design method could accurately predict the compressive strength in ternary paste system made of cement, silica fume and fly ash (the total mass fraction of all mineral admixtures was up to 30%); (2) to solve the nonlinear programming with the constraints of upper and lower bound played an important role in getting the optimum compressive strength and its corresponding mixture proportion at different ages; (3) the combination of the simplex-lattice design method and the optimization theory could be valuable tool for optimization of cement-based composites' properties.     

Effects of partial recrystallization on high-cycle fatigue deformation and crack generation of a nitrogen-strengthened 32Mn-7Cr austenitic steel at liquid-nitrogen temperature

To achieve higher fatigue resistance against subsurface crack generation, both the refinement of grain structure and the introduction of mobile dislocations on various slip systems have been shown to be effective in the 32Mn-7Cr austenitic steel. A novel treatment which consisted of cold grooved rolling and partial recrystallization was introduced to modify the microstructure. High-cycle fatigue properties and fatigue-crack generation were investigated for both the solution-treated (ST) and the partially recrystallized (PR) materials at 77 K. The PR material displayed higher fatigue strength than the ST material, especially in the high-cycle regime. No subsurface crack generation was detected for the PR material; however, it appeared in the lower peak stress and/or in the longer-life range for the ST material. Intergranular facets formed a subsurface crack initiation site in the ST material. Since the dislocation structure that developed in the fatigued PR material assisted homogeneous and multidirectional plastic deformation, the localized deformation and/or the stress concentration at the grain boundaries by coplanar arrays were believed to be relieved. Therefore, intergranular cracking due to incompatibility at a grain boundary may disappear.     

Optimum thermoeconomic and thermodynamic performance characteristics of an irreversible three-heat-source heat pump

The coefficient of performance and specific heating load of an irreversible three-heat-source heat pump are given by using a general cycle model affected by the finite-rate heat transfer, heat leak and internal irreversibility of the cyclic working fluid. The heat pumping load divided by the total cost per unit time is taken as a new objective function and used to investigate the performance of the heat pump. The thermoeconomic and thermodynamic performance characteristics of the heat pump are discussed in detail. Some important performance parameters such as the thermoeconomic objective function and coefficient of performance are optimized. The optimally operating regions of the heat pump and the bounds of several performance parameters are determined. Finally, it is pointed out that the Carnot heat pump may be taken as a special case of a three-heat-source heat pump and consequently its optimal performance can be directly derived from the results obtained here.     

Study of miscibility enhancement in poly(styrene‐co‐4‐vinylphenol)/poly(ethylene oxide) blends by the spin labelling method

The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of end‐group spin labelled poly(ethylene oxide) (SLPEO) using 2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐piperdine‐1‐oxyl nitroxide and its blends with poly(styrene‐co‐4‐vinylphenol) (STVPhs) of different hydroxyl contents were recorded over a wide temperature range. For a blend of SLPEO and pure polystyrene (PS), the ESR spectrum was composed of a single motion component, indicating that PS was immiscible with PEO. For blends composed of SLPEO and different‐hydroxyl‐content STVPhs, two spectral components with different motion rates were observed over a certain temperature range. The difference between the motion rates should be attributed to micro‐heterogeneity in the blends, with the faster rate corresponding to a nitroxide radical motion trapped in the PEO‐rich domain and the slower rate corresponding to a nitroxide radical motion trapped in the STVPh‐rich domain. Variations in the values of a number of the ESR parameters (T_a, T_d and T_50G) and the apparent activation energy (E_a) with hydroxyl content in the blends indicated that the miscibility of the blends increased with increasing hydrogen‐bonding density due to specific interactions between the hydroxyl groups in STVPh and the ether oxygens in PEO.
