Influence of Cu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> ions on structural and magnetic properties of NiZn ferrites

The paper is devoted to the preparation of NiZn ferrite with small substitutions of copper by means of ceramic technology. The influence of small Cu substitution on the microstructural and magnetic properties of NiZn ferrites have been analysed by means of various experimental methods and interpreted from the point of view of preparation technology optimisation and possible applications of such materials. A strong correlation between the substituent content and resulting properties has been observed, thus allowing preparation of material with the properties tailored for any particular application.     

The Ce-Mn-P system (Cerium-Manganese-Phosphorus)

Phase equilibria were established in the Ce-Mn-P ternary system up to 70 at. % P for an isothermal section at 600°C. To ensure equilibrium, the CeP-Mn₃P-MnP region was also established at 900 °C.     

Differential Subcellular Distribution of Cytokinins: How Does Membrane Transport Fit into the Big Picture?

Cytokinins are a class of phytohormones, signalling molecules specific to plants. They act as regulators of diverse physiological processes in complex signalling pathways. It is necessary for plants to continuously regulate cytokinin distribution among different organs, tissues, cells, and compartments. Such regulatory mechanisms include cytokinin biosynthesis, metabolic conversions and degradation, as well as cytokinin membrane transport. In our review, we aim to provide a thorough picture of the latter. We begin by summarizing cytokinin structures and physicochemical properties. Then, we revise the elementary thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of cytokinin membrane transport. Next, we review which membrane-bound carrier proteins and protein families recognize cytokinins as their substrates. Namely, we discuss the families of “equilibrative nucleoside transporters” and “purine permeases”, which translocate diverse purine-related compounds, and proteins AtPUP14, AtABCG14, AtAZG1, and AtAZG2, which are specific to cytokinins. We also address long-distance cytokinin transport. Putting all these pieces together, we finally discuss cytokinin distribution as a net result of these processes, diverse in their physicochemical nature but acting together to promote plant fitness.

MAX相Ti3SiC2管材在高温高压水和过热蒸汽中的腐蚀行为

MAX相材料有作为事故容错燃料(accident tolerant fuel,ATF)包壳材料的潜力,为了全面了解MAX相材料在模拟正常工况下的腐蚀行为,使用基体为Ti₃SiC₂的MAX相陶瓷管材于400℃/10.3 MPa过热蒸气,360℃/18.6 MPa去离子水、3.5μL/L Li+1000μL/L B溶液和70μL/L Li溶液4种不同的水化学条件中进行腐蚀试验,采用XRD、SEM和FIB/TEM观察分析腐蚀前后样品的显微组织、晶体结构和成分。结果表明,Ti₃SiC₂管材在4种条件下的腐蚀速率均远高于参比Zr-4合金,腐蚀后主要检测到腐蚀产物TiO₂,且其表面疏松多孔,未形成保护性的氧化膜。     

轧制速度对AZ31镁合金管材冷轧成形的影响

轧制速度是三辊式冷轧成形过程中关键的工艺参数,决定其力学特征及温升情况。基于此,本文以冷轧AZ31镁合金管材为研究对象,通过全流程数值仿真计算,对比分析不同轧制速度在各特征变形段对等效应力、等效塑性应变及节点温度的影响规律。结果表明,等效应力、等效塑性应变及节点温度均随轧制速度的增大而增大。通过元胞自动机模型及实验等手段,探明了晶粒在轧制过程中产生连续再结晶并细化的初步组织演变规律;对比分析实验与模拟结果并结合多方面因素,得到800mm/s的轧制速度可以更好的满足工艺要求的结果,为冷轧镁合金管材轧制速度的选择提供依据。     

一种用于新型非致冷红外焦平面阵列读出电路的基准电流源

设计了一种用于新型非制冷红外焦平面阵列读出电路的低温漂、无电阻基准电流源。首先通过二阶补偿的无电阻带 隙基准电路得到基准电压$V_{_{REF}}$,然后将其接到一个NMOS输出管上;通过调节$V_{_{REF}}$使得该输出管工作在零温 漂区,最终产生一个与温度无关的基准电流$I_{_{REF}}$。在CSMC 0.5$\upmu$m CMOS工艺条件下,采用spectre软件进行了模拟验证。 测试结果表明,在0℃ $\sim$ 120℃的温度变化范围内,输出电流的波动小于4$\upmu$A;当电源电压为3.3V时,整个电路的功 耗仅为0.94mW。
