Thermodynamic reassessment of the Cd−Zn system

The Cd−Zn system has been thermodynamically reassessed with the CALPHAD method by combining more recent experimental data, in particular the activities of zinc in the liquid phase. A good agreement is obtained between the calculated and experimental thermodynamic parameters as well asphase boundaries.

Epsilon-near-zero or mu-near-zero materials composed of dielectric photonic crystals

We theoretically demonstrate that at certain frequencies two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals （PCs） may be regarded as either epsilon-near-zero or mu-near-zero materials. We show that the transmission through a slab of such materials upon normal incidence is normally non-unity and decays with slab thickness. However, when the incident angle increases slightly, the transmittance experiences a dramatic increase due to the Brewster effect. The combination of the tunneling and resonance effects makes such materials good candidates for almost perfect bending waveguides and cloaking in waveguides. The zero index also enables applications of focusing and directive emission. At last, the distinction between the single-zero and double-zero media is discussed. In all of the above results, the numerical simulations perfectly match with theoretical predictions from the effective medium analysis.     

An atomistic-continuum inhomogeneous material model for the elastic bending of metal nanocantilevers

The equivalent elastic modulus of nanocantilever can be obtained using atomistic simulation. However, the use of this modulus to predict the bending of nanocantilever results in significant error compared with direct atomistic simulation. The error originates from the surface effect. In our current work, the nanocantilever is considered as an inhomogeneous continuum material. The distributions of materials parameters at the cross-section, such as atomistic elastic constants, are calculated from atomistic simulations. These atomistic-information-based materials parameters are used as inputs to continuum model. A numerical example case validates the presented model and methodology. To correctly predict the structure-property relations of elemental nano-structures are very important for the design of nano-devices. Our continuum model includes nano-effects and provides another way to study nanomechanics.

材料性质和试样几何形状对应力三维度的影响

为研究应力三维度和塑性应变对金属材料微孔聚合型损伤发展和延性断裂过程的影响,用有限元法计算16Mn钢和两种铝合金材料不同缺口根半径拉伸试样的应力、应变分布. 结果表明:缺口根半径越小,最小横截面上周向和径向应变相差越大且越不均匀,并导致最小横截面上的应力三维度与Bridgman公式预测结果不一样. 材料性质和试样几何形状对应力三维度的影响很大:缺口根半径相同的3种材料试样最小横截面的应力三维度分布形态相似,但应力三维度峰值及其所处位置有所不同;同种材料的试样缺口根半径不同,应力三维度分布形态也不同.     

热处理非晶态Ni-P合金镀层的晶化过程

运用电沉积的方法在45钢基体上制备Ni-P合金镀层,使用差示扫描量热法(DSC)和热重法(TG)分析非晶态NiP合金镀层在20℃/min加热速率下的热效应和质量变化。在300℃和400℃分别对镀层进行0,15,30,45,60,75min的热处理,采用扫描电镜(SEM)、能谱仪(EDS)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)、显微硬度计对镀层进行表征。结果表明:Ni-P合金镀层在加热过程中的放热峰出现在284.8℃处,镀层的质量和元素组成稳定;晶化过程经历了非晶态、亚稳态NiP和Ni5P2、稳定态Ni3P的转变;经过热处理后,镀层的显微硬度显著提高,最大值达1036.56HV,约为镀态的2倍;热处理态镀层的耐NaCl溶液腐蚀性能比镀态有所下降,但两者都比45钢基体好。
