The hydrothermal reaction time is important for the controlling of the nanotube diameter and the specific surface area of holistic TiO2 films. When the hydrothermal process reaction time is up to 8 hours, the diameter of the nanotuhe is about 10 nm, and the specific surface area of TiO2 nanoforest films reaches the maximum. CdS nanoparticles are synthesized on TiO2 nanoforest films by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction （SILAR） technique. The transmission electron microscope （TEM） and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy （EDX） mapping results verify that TiOz/CdS heterostructures are realized. A significant red-shift of the absorption edge from 380 nm to 540 nm can be observed after the pure TiO2 film is sensitized by CdS nanoparticles. Under irradiation of light, the current density of the optimal TiO2/CdS photoanode is 2.30 mA.cm-2 at 0 V relative to the saturated calomel electrode （SCE）, which is 6 times stronger than that of the pure TiO2 photoanode. This study suggests that the TiO2 nanoforest consisting of interlinked pony-size nanotubes is a promising nanostructure for photoelectrochemical.展开更多

Meanwhile, it also affects the formation of Fe–C alloy blocking layer, which determines the length and installation position of induction coil. An experimental platform was designed to imitate actual working conditions in a ladle with the EICAST system. Ambient temperature of induction coil under high-temperature condition was measured to verify the accuracy of numerical result. After containing molten steel for 120 min and steel teeming for 40 min, the ambient temperature on the upper side of induction coil is 791 °C. In addition, the position of blocking layer in a 110 t ladle was measured by sand-collection and steel-pour methods, and the criterion temperatures of blocking layer in numerical simulation process were corrected. When the refining temperature is1600 °C and the containing time of molten steel is 120 min, the thickness of blocking layer is 130 mm, and the distance between the upper surface of blocking layer and the upper surface of nozzle brick is 154 mm. When the criterion temperatures are 919 °C and 428 °C, the numerical results can be used to confirm the position of blocking layer and the installation position of induction coil.展开更多

Here we present molecular line and continuum observations toward the massive core G192.16–3.84 with the Submillimeter Array. C18 O(2–1) and HCO+(3–2) lines show pronounced blue profiles, indicating gas infalling in this region. This is the first time that infall motion has been reported in the G192.16–3.84 core. Two-layer model fitting gives infall velocities of 2.0±0.2 and 2.8±0.1 km s-1. Assuming that the cloud core follows a power-law density profile(ρ∝ r1.5), the corresponding mass infall rates are(4.7±1.7)×10-3 and(6.6±2.1)×10-3 M⊙yr-1 for C18 O(2–1) and HCO+(3–2), respectively. The derived infall rates are in agreement with the turbulent core model and those in other high-mass star-forming regions, suggesting that high accretion rate is a general requirement for forming a massive star.展开更多

文摘Understanding the motion behaviors of non-metallic inclusions in the liquid metal is important for clean steel production.High-temperature confocal laser scanning microscopy is applied to investigate the effect of different Ti and Al contents on the agglomeration behavior of non-metallic inclusions in low carbon steels.Furthermore,the agglomeration mechanism of inclusions was investigated through quantitative analysis of in-situ observation experiments and a modified Kralchevsky-Paunov model.The obtained results indicate that Al_(2)O_(3)is the main type inclusion in the low-alloys steels with both Al and Ti addition.This type of inclusion is more likely to absorb surrounding small-size inclusion particles,leading to a further growth for the cluster formation and contributing to a serious engineering problem,nozzle clogging.Besides,TiO_(x)is the main type inclusion in the molten steel with only Ti addition,and this type of inclusion is less likely to agglomerate and the individual inclusion particles show a‘free’motion with the fluid of molten steel.The difference between these two types of inclusions is due to the difference in attractive force and action distance at the meniscus created by the inclusion/steel/Ar multiple interfaces and influenced by the physical parameters,e.g.,contact angle and interface energy between inclusion and steel,and surface tension of the melt.

文摘In response to the limitations of conventional chemical synthesis methods for the structural modulation of nanomaterials,an innovative high magnetic field-assisted wet chemical synthesis method was proposed to prepare NiFe_(2)O_(4)/Fe_(2)O_(3) heterostructures.It is found that the high-energy physical field could induce a more homogeneous morphology of NiFe_(2)O_(4)/Fe_(2)O_(3),accompanied by phase transformation from Fe_(2)O_(3) to NiFe_(2)O_(4).As a result,the optimized structure obtained under the magnetic field endows NiFe_(2)O_(4)/Fe_(2)O_(3) with enhanced performance for the lithium-ion battery anode,as evidenced by an increase of 16%(1200 mA·h/g)in discharge capacity and 24% in ultra-stable cycling performance(capacity retention of 97.1%).These results highlight the feasibility of high magnetic fields in modulating material structure and enhancing lithium storage performance.

文摘This paper presents an overview of the QUARKS survey,which stands for Querying Underlying mechanisms of massive star formation with ALMA-Resolved gas Kinematics and Structures."The QUARKS survey is observing139 massive clumps covered by 156 pointings at Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array(ALMA)Band 6(λ~1.3 mm).In conjunction with data obtained from the ALMA-ATOMS survey at Band 3(λ~3 mm),QUARKS aims to carry out an unbiased statistical investigation of massive star formation process within protoclusters down to a scale of 1000 au.This overview paper describes the observations and data reduction of the QUARKS survey,and gives a first look at an exemplar source,the mini-starburst Sgr B2(M).The wide-b and width(7.5 GHz)and high-angular-resolution(~0."3)observations of the QUARKS survey allow for the resolution of much more compact cores than those could be done by the ATOMS survey,and to detect previously unrevealed fainter filamentary structures.The spectral windows cover transitions of species including CO,SO,N_(2)D^(+),SiO,H_(30)α,H_(2)CO,CH_(3)CN,and many other complex organic molecules,tracing gas components with different temperatures and spatial extents.QUARKS aims to deepen our understanding of several scientific topics of massive star formation,such as the mass transport within protoclusters by(hub-)filamentary structures,the existence of massive starless cores,the physical and chemical properties of dense cores within protoclusters,and the feedback from already formed high-mass young protostars.

文摘Leveraging the high resolution,sensitivity,and wide frequency coverage of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array(ALMA),the QUARKS survey,standing for“Querying Underlying mechanisms of massive star formation with ALMA-Resolved gas Kinematics and Structures”,is observing 139 massive starforming clumps at ALMA Band 6(λ~1.3 mm).This paper introduces the Atacama Compact Array(ACA)7 m data of the QUARKS survey,describing the ACA observations and data reduction.Combining multiwavelength data,we provide the first edition of QUARKS atlas,offering insights into the multiscale and multiphase interstellar medium in high-mass star formation.The ACA 1.3 mm catalog includes 207 continuum sources that are called ACA sources.Their gas kinetic temperatures are estimated using three formaldehyde transitions with a non-LTE radiation transfer model,and the mass and density are derived from a dust emission model.The ACA sources are massive(16–84 percentile values of 6–160 M_(⊙)),gravity-dominated(M∝R^(1.1))fragments within massive clumps,with supersonic turbulence(M>1)and embedded star-forming protoclusters.We find a linear correlation between the masses of the fragments and the massive clumps,with a ratio of 6%between the two.When considering fragments as representative of dense gas,the ratio indicates a dense gas fraction(DGF)of 6%,although with a wide scatter ranging from 1%to 10%.If we consider the QUARKS massive clumps to be what is observed at various scales,then the size-independent DGF indicates a self-similar fragmentation or collapsing mode in protocluster formation.With the ACA data over four orders of magnitude of luminosity-to-mass ratio(L/M),we find that the DGF increases significantly with L/M,which indicates clump evolutionary stage.We observed a limited fragmentation at the subclump scale,which can be explained by a dynamic global collapse process.

文摘We present a review of the principal developments in the evolution and synergism of solute and particle migration in a liquid melt in high-gradient magnetic fields and we also describe their effects on the solidification microstructure of alloys.Diverse areas relevant to various aspects of theory and applications of high-gradient magnetic field-controlled migration of solutes and particles are surveyed.They include introduction,high-gradient magnetic field effects,migration behavior of solute and particles in high-gradient magnetic fields,microstructure evolution induced by high-gradient magnetic fieldcontrolled migrations of solute and particles,and properties of materials modified by high-gradient magnetic field-tailored microstructure.Selected examples of binary and multiphase alloy systems are presented and examined,with the main focus on the correlation between the high-gradient magnetic field-modified migration and the related solidification microstructure evolution.Particular attention is given to the mechanisms responsible for the microstructure evolution induced by highgradient magnetic fields.

文摘The effect of a high magnetic field on the microstructural evolution of a peritectic Al—18 at.%Ni alloy during directional solidification and its dependence on pulling speed were investigated.At a low pulling speed,the application of a 2 T magnetic field triggered the appearance of a primary Al_(3)Ni_(2)phase.At higher pulling speeds,a high magnetic field application induced primary Al_(3)Ni_(2)phase segregation that formed close to the central alloy regions.For all pulling speeds,the application of a high magnetic field induced bulk Al_(3)Ni/Al eutectic formation on the upper and lower parts of the alloys,and promoted elongated growth of the peritectic Al_3Ni phase along the magnetic field direction.Microstructural analysis indicated that microstructural evolution that was induced by high magnetic fields can be attributed to solute migration and melt flow that is regulated by magnetic,Lorentz,and thermoelectric magnetic forces and their coupling effects during peritectic solidification.

文摘We measured the contact angles of Al and Sn drops on polycrystalline Al2O3 substrates in various high magnetic fields at different temperatures.The contact angles of both Al and Sn drops on the Al2O3 substrates decreased under high magnetic fields.These decreases strongly depend on the temperature,magnetic flux density,magnetic properties of the metal drops,and the reactivity of the metal drops with Al2O3.Our results reveal that the wetting behavior of molten metal drops on ceramics can be modified by a high magnetic field.

文摘The noble metal Pt is an ideal catalyst for promoting the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)during the electrolysis of water.However,Pt is also expensive and suffers from low utilization rates.In this work,a Pt-Ni_(2)P/NF nanorod catalyst with a low Pt loading was synthesized under different magnetic fields,and it was found that the application of a magnetic field can increase the rate of the galvanic replacement reaction.When the magnetic field strength increases from 0 to 600 mT,the chemical reaction rate increases gradually,and the utilization rate of Pt increased by 2.3 times under 600 mT.The mechanism of the magnetic field-induced magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)effect on the galvanic replacement reaction was revealed.In a 1 M KOH solution and at a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2),the overpotential of Pt-Ni_(2)P/NF prepared by applying a 600 mT magnetic field was as low as 15 mV and the Tafel slope was 37 mV dec^(-1),compared with values of 82 mV and 70 mV dec^(-1) for a specimen prepared without a magnetic field.Additionally,at an overpotential of 90 mV,the mass-based Pt activity of the former material was 12 times greater while its turnover frequency was 19 times greater.This work provides theoretical and technical knowledge expected to assist in the controllable preparation of materials in magnetic fields and the efficient utilization of metallic resources.

文摘The structure transition inside the Co-81.5at.%B alloy liquid has been studied by an in-situ magnetization measurement.A crossover was observed on the 1/M-T curve during the overheating process,indicating that a liquid-liquid structure transition(LLST)took place in the melt.Based on this information,the effects of LLST on the solidification behavior,microstructure and tribology property were investigated experimentally.The sample solidified with the LLST exhibits significantly different solidification behaviors,i.e.,the nucleation undercooling and the recalescence extent are conspicuously enlarged,and the solidification time is shortened.As a result,the microstructure is effectively refined and homogenized,and the hardness and wear resistance are significantly enhanced.The present work might be helpful for not only theoretically understanding the influence of LLST on the solidification behavior but also providing an alternative approach to tailor the microstructure and properties.

文摘While there have been multiple recent reports in the literature focusing on the effects of magnetic field on the phase transformation behaviors,the research conducted with an ultra-high magnetic field greater than 20 T is still preliminary.In the current study,the structure evolution of Co-B alloys are experimentally studied with undercooling.The effects of a 25 T magnetic field on the solidification behavior and the subsequent solid-state phase transformation behavior have been investigated.The 25 T magnetic field is confirmed to have little effect on the homogeneous nucleation,but have some influence on the heterogeneous nucleation of Co_(3) B and Co_(23)B6 phases by modifying the wetting angleθ.The decomposition of Co_(23)B6 phase in the subsequent cooling process can be effectively suppressed by applying the 25 T magnetic field.The present work might be helpful for not only theoretically understanding the influence of ultra-high magnetic field on the phase transformation behaviors but a potential technology of field-manipulation of magnetic materials.

文摘The obvious grain refinement of the primary MnSb phase has been observed in the Mn-89.7 wt%Sb alloy directionally solidified under a high-gradient magnetic field.With the application of a high-gradient magnetic field,the morphology of the primary MnSb phase transformed from developed dendritic-like to equiaxed-like,and the grain size decreased by approximately 93%.Refinement of the primary MnSb phase can be attributed to the constituent supercooling in front of the solidification interface,which promoted nucleation of the primary MnSb phase.The constituent supercooling can be linked to the enrichment of the Mn solute induced by the magnetic force and the Lorentz force that drove Mn solute migration and suppressed convection.

文摘In this study, YiO2 nanoforest films consisting of nanotubes have been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and a subsequent sintering technique. The hydrothermal reaction time is important for the controlling of the nanotube diameter and the specific surface area of holistic TiO2 films. When the hydrothermal process reaction time is up to 8 hours, the diameter of the nanotuhe is about 10 nm, and the specific surface area of TiO2 nanoforest films reaches the maximum. CdS nanoparticles are synthesized on TiO2 nanoforest films by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction （SILAR） technique. The transmission electron microscope （TEM） and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy （EDX） mapping results verify that TiOz/CdS heterostructures are realized. A significant red-shift of the absorption edge from 380 nm to 540 nm can be observed after the pure TiO2 film is sensitized by CdS nanoparticles. Under irradiation of light, the current density of the optimal TiO2/CdS photoanode is 2.30 mA.cm-2 at 0 V relative to the saturated calomel electrode （SCE）, which is 6 times stronger than that of the pure TiO2 photoanode. This study suggests that the TiO2 nanoforest consisting of interlinked pony-size nanotubes is a promising nanostructure for photoelectrochemical.

文摘Ambient temperature of induction coil is an important factor to influence the implementation of the electromagnetic induction-controlled automated steel-teeming(EICAST) technology. Meanwhile, it also affects the formation of Fe–C alloy blocking layer, which determines the length and installation position of induction coil. An experimental platform was designed to imitate actual working conditions in a ladle with the EICAST system. Ambient temperature of induction coil under high-temperature condition was measured to verify the accuracy of numerical result. After containing molten steel for 120 min and steel teeming for 40 min, the ambient temperature on the upper side of induction coil is 791 °C. In addition, the position of blocking layer in a 110 t ladle was measured by sand-collection and steel-pour methods, and the criterion temperatures of blocking layer in numerical simulation process were corrected. When the refining temperature is1600 °C and the containing time of molten steel is 120 min, the thickness of blocking layer is 130 mm, and the distance between the upper surface of blocking layer and the upper surface of nozzle brick is 154 mm. When the criterion temperatures are 919 °C and 428 °C, the numerical results can be used to confirm the position of blocking layer and the installation position of induction coil.

文摘Previous observations have revealed an accretion disk and outflow motion in the high-mass starforming region G192.16–3.84, but collapse has not been reported before. Here we present molecular line and continuum observations toward the massive core G192.16–3.84 with the Submillimeter Array. C18 O(2–1) and HCO+(3–2) lines show pronounced blue profiles, indicating gas infalling in this region. This is the first time that infall motion has been reported in the G192.16–3.84 core. Two-layer model fitting gives infall velocities of 2.0±0.2 and 2.8±0.1 km s-1. Assuming that the cloud core follows a power-law density profile(ρ∝ r1.5), the corresponding mass infall rates are(4.7±1.7)×10-3 and(6.6±2.1)×10-3 M⊙yr-1 for C18 O(2–1) and HCO+(3–2), respectively. The derived infall rates are in agreement with the turbulent core model and those in other high-mass star-forming regions, suggesting that high accretion rate is a general requirement for forming a massive star.
