Differences in microstructure and mechanical properties between Y-TZP and AL2O3-doped Y-TZP/bioglass ceramics

Y-TZP (YZ) and Al₂O₃-doped Y-TZP (AYZ) bioceramics with addition of different contents of a refractory bioglass were fabricated. The influence of the glass addition and sintering temperature on the densification behavior, microstructure, and mechanical properties of YZ and AYZ was studied. The developed ceramics contained small amounts of ZrSiO₄ and Ca₂P₂O₇ phases within the ZrO₂ matrix. The incorporation of glass to YZ promoted the ZrO₂ phase partitioning and enhanced the ZrO₂ grain growth at all the sintering temperatures, whereas the glass addition in AYZ prevented the Y₂O₃ redistribution between ZrO₂ grains and limited the ZrO₂ grain growth at 1300–1400°C. The hardness of the samples with glass was not significantly altered by using either YZ or AYZ. A slight increase in the fracture toughness with increasing glass content was found for YZ, while the fractured toughness of AYZ decreased by the glass addition. The more pronounced ZrO₂ phase partitioning of YZ with glass decreased the flexural strength, whereas AYZ maintained almost unaltered its flexural strength at a high level by the glass incorporation.

采用共沉淀法,以3-巯基丙酸为表面修饰剂,成功制备出Co2+掺杂水溶性ZnS量子点。采用X射线衍射仪、透射电子显微镜、原子发射光谱仪、紫外-可见吸收光谱仪和荧光分光光度计等,研究了Co2+掺杂剂及掺杂量对ZnS量子点的晶体结构、形貌和发光性能等的影响。结果表明:所得产物均为ZnS立方型闪锌矿结构,量子点呈不规则球形,粒径主要集中在5.2 nm左右;掺杂样品发红色荧光,发光性能明显增强,属于Co2+形成的杂质能级(4A1—4T1)与缺陷的复合发光。同时,利用红外吸收光谱对Co2+掺杂水溶性ZnS量子点的形成机理进行了初步探讨。     

掺Yb3+双包层光纤激光器的自脉冲行为分析

为了对掺Yb3+双包层光纤激光器的自脉冲行为进行系统的理论研究,采用数值模拟方法,对光子数密度和反转粒子数密度随时间及抽运功率的变化、阻尼系数与后腔镜的反射率和掺杂粒子浓度的关系,以及光纤本身固有振荡频率随后腔镜反射率的变化进行了理论分析.结果表明,随抽运功率的增加,振荡频率增加,振幅度减小;降低输出端的反馈和粒子的浓度可以抑制自脉冲现象.另外提出了抑制光纤激光器自脉冲的措施,为设计掺Yb3+双包层光纤激光器提供了理论依据.     

掺Yb3+锂硅酸盐玻璃组分与光谱性质的研究

采用高温熔融工艺制备了Yb3+掺杂锂硅酸盐玻璃,玻璃的组分为SiO2-Li2O-Na2O-MgO-CaO-BaO-Al2O3-Yb2O3。经过理论和实验分析,我们得出该组分的最佳比例为70SiO2-18Li2O-8MgO-2Al2O3-2Yb2O3mol%,它具有较高的发射截面和较长的荧光寿命,并随着修饰体阳离子场强增大,配位体之间位置的有序化降低,即格位的对称性下降,因此吸收截面和发射截面逐渐增大,荧光寿命降低。     

Pulsed pumped Yb3+-doped double-cladding fiber amplifier

A pulsed pumped Yb³⁺-doped double-cladding fiber (DCF) amplifier is reported, Seeded by a passive mode-locked Yb³⁺-doped fiber laser, the fiber amplifier can generate 200 W peak-power and 120 ps duration pulses at 100 Hz repetition rate. Because of the pulsed pump approach, the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and the spurious lasing between pulses are well avoided.     

One-pot simple synthesis and characterisation of Mn2+-doped GaN nanorods by RAPET method

In this work, we display one-step reactions under autogenic pressure at elevated temperature (RAPET) method-based synthesis of Mn-doped GaN nanorods by varying the atomic ratio of Mn:Ga as 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08, respectively. The synthesised nanorods are characterised by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectral methods. It is observed that there is a decrease in the lattice constant with an increase in the concentration of Mn (from 0.02 to 0.08 wt%). Moreover, the smaller covalent radius of Mn is the key for the doping process. The Mn-doped GaN nanocrystals show rod-like morphology with a length of 40–50 nm and width of 8–12 nm. This size factor mainly depends on the doping of Mn [from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis] into GaN components. Well-defined lattice fringes are elucidated for the growth of crystalline hexagonal GaN (wurtzite type) nanocrystals.

Methanol synthesis from CO2-rich syngas over a ZrO2 doped CuZnO catalyst

ZrO₂-doped CuZnO catalyst prepared by successive-precipitation method was investigated by ICP-AES, BET, TEM, XRD, EXAFS, H₂-TPR and CO/CO₂ hydrogenation. The active phase of copper in CuZnO catalyst prepared by co-precipitation method was well-crystallized. The presence of ZrO₂ led to a high copper dispersion, which was distinctive from CuZnO. Though the activity for carbon monoxide hydrogenation was little lower than that of CuZnO catalyst, ZrO₂-doped CuZnO catalyst showed much higher activity and selectivity towards methanol synthesis from carbon dioxide hydrogenation. Moreover, ZrO₂-doped CuZnO catalyst showed high performance for methanol synthesis from CO₂-rich syngas.
