单晶凝固组织的样品尺寸效应

通过对不同直径的单晶样品的凝固实验，研究了样品尺寸对单晶凝固组织的影响规律，研究发现，随样品尺寸减小，单晶凝固组织被细化，尤其一次枝晶间距λ1和枝晶间γ′相尺寸对样品尺寸的依赖性更为明显；样品尺寸影响的要质在于此表面积的变化，进而对凝固过程温度梯度产生影响，最终作用于凝固组织和力学性能，一次枝晶间距λ1和枝晶间γ′尺寸与样品的比表面积近拟呈线性关系，样品尺寸变化，明显改变了单晶生长过程的温度梯度和合金的高温持久寿命。     

Progress in the development of polymer cholesteric liquid crystal flakes for display applications

Polymer cholesteric liquid crystal (PCLC) flake technology is being developed as an alternative display technology for flexible, reflective particle displays. The motion of PCLC flakes suspended in a host fluid can be controlled with an electric field, creating a way to electrically control the flakes' ability to brightly reflect light that is circularly polarized. The PCLC flake/host fluid dispersion has been successfully microencapsulated both in a polymer matrix and in gelatin micro-capsules. Microencapsulation will not only expand the applications scope of the technology, but also may aid in addressing some potential problem areas that are inherent to many forms of particle display technology. A second important development in PCLC flake technology involves the manufacture of shaped flakes based on soft lithography techniques. The size and shape of a flake impact its reorientation, and uniformly shaped flakes respond in a similar manner. The unique reflective properties of PCLC flakes also provide possible applications in areas such as optics and photonics, switchable ‘smart windows’ or conformal coatings, and information displays such as ‘electronic paper.’

透反液晶显示器

兼有透射型和反射型液晶显示优点的透反液晶显示可工作于透射和反射两种显示模式，它将广泛应用于手机、PDA等通讯领域。透反液晶显示可分为单盒厚和双盒厚两大类。又可分为扭曲型和非扭曲型两种。为了研制出高性能透反液晶显示器，需解决透反两个显示区的响应时间、光效率、色饱和度的差异以及视角等问题。文中介绍了Sharp公司开发的2种基本的透反液晶显示。以及3种新近开发的高性能透反液晶显示。随着应用市场的扩大和技术的进步，透反液晶显示将会进一步得到发展。

Aspects of rapid crack propagation in silicon

Fracture experiments with silicon specimens in recent years have shown the need for a new approach to the analysis of rapidly propagating cracks in single crystals. Behaviour and phenomena have been revealed that fracture in these materials is rather different from the fracture of both amorphous and polycrystalline materials. We show that continuum mechanics is insufficient for analyzing crack propagation in single crystals since it is unable to consider atomistic‐scale phenomena. Accordingly, we describe basic phenomena associated with rapid crack propagation in silicon : (i) anisotropic velocity‐dependent R‐curve behaviour, as a key phenomenon dictating atomistic scale behaviour, (ii) crack deflection from one cleavage plane to another as a mesoscopic scale phenomenon in single‐crystal fracture, (iii) the Rayleigh surface wave speed as the limiting crack tip velocity is re‐examined, (vi) the lowest crack velocity in brittle crystals is examined, and finally (v) the interaction between crack path and preferred cleavage planes in single crystals is depicted.     

Improved direct bonding method of Nd:YVO4 and YVO4 laser crystals

We succeeded in the fabrication of bonded laser crystals composed of a neodymium-doped YVO₄ laser crystal (Nd:YVO₄) and its host crystals YVO₄ by a newly developed dry etching technique using an argon ion beam. The optical distortion caused by the bonded interface of size 5 mm × 6 mm was estimated to be 0.05λ at 633 nm. From the comparison of laser performance pumped by a laser diode, the bonded crystals could increase the laser output power by nearly twice that of the non-bonded crystals with the same degree of polarization of 99.2%. To analyze the mechanism of the enhanced reduction of the thermal load in the bonded crystals, numerical simulations with a finite-element method were also performed.     

机械合金化过程中Fe70B30粉末晶粒尺寸和微观应变的研究

用Ｘ射线和电镜研究了Ｆｅ＿（７０）Ｂ＿（３０）粉末经不同时间高能球磨后晶粒尺寸和微观应力的变化。在机械合金化过程中，粉末的Ｘ射线衍射谱的宽度随球磨时间的增加逐渐加宽，这是晶粒细化和内部微观应力共同作用的结果。Ｘ射线衍射结果表明：随着机械合金化的进行，粉末的晶粒尺寸逐渐减小，球磨初期晶粒尺寸下降较快，经１５ｈ球磨，晶粒尺寸为２５ｎｍ，机械合金化进行到一定时间后晶粒尺寸下降缓慢，８０ｈ球磨后晶粒尺寸可达５ｎｍ。在机械合金化过程中球磨所造成的微观应变不大，球磨初期粉末的内应力随球磨时间增加而增加，当粉末粒子尺寸很小时，随球磨的进行粉末中的微观应变显著下降。
