The microstructures were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The fracture behavior, infiltration and oxidation mechanism were further discussed. The results indicated that NiAl alloy exhibited good wettability on the C/C preform because a TiC reaction layer formed at the interface. Multi-layer（PyC/TiC/NiAl＋TiC） coating evenly and compactly distributed on the surface of the carbon fiber in tubular form. The penetration depth of molten NiAl alloys depended on the reaction between the PyC and titanium. The impact fracture was inclined to along the interface between the NiAl permeability layer and C/C matrix. Al_2TiO_5 and TiO_2 formed on the surface, while the interior multi-layer tubular structure partially remained after oxidation at 1773 K for 30 min.展开更多

The blepharoplast appears in the young spermatid. The differentiating blepharoplast is approximately a spherical body, which is composed of densely stained granular material in the center and some cylinders outside of it. The differentiated blepharoplast is also a sphere, but without the densely stained material in the center, consisting of scattered or radially arranged cylinders. The MLS seen in the spermatid lies between the basal bodies and the giant mitochondrion. In the early developmental stage, the MLS only consists of lamellar layers, each of which runs parallel to one another and forms a strip. In the mid stage, the MLS is composed of the microtubular ribbon (MTr), the lamellar layers and a layer of plaque. In the late stage, the MLS forms accessory band, osmiophilic crest and a layer of osmiophilic material. The MTr grows out from the MLS and extends along the surface of the nucleus to unite with the nuclear envelope in a complex. The basal body coming from the cylinder produces the axoneme of the flagella in the distal end and the wedge-shaped structure in the proximal end, respectively. In the present study, the ultrastructural features of blepharoplast and the MLS of the protoleptosporangiopsida fern, O. cinnamomea var. asiatica, have been described and compared with those of other kinds of pteridophytes in detail. The lamellar layers appearing before the formation of the MTr was found and reported for the first time.展开更多

This cloak can be constructed with a multilayered structure and each layer is an isotropic and homogeneous medium. The design scheme consists of two steps： firstly, we apply a conformal coordinate transformation to obtain a quasi-perfect cloak with heterogeneous isotropic material; then, according to the profile of the material distribution, we degenerate this cloak into a multilayered-homogeneous isotropic cloak, which has two open windows with negligible disturbance on its invisibility performance. This may greatly facilitate the fabrication and enhance the applicability of such a carpet-type cloak.展开更多

文摘SiC nanowires reinforced C/(PyC-SiC)_(n)multilayered matrix composites(SM-CS for short)were prepared by combined with sol-gel and chemical vapor infiltration(CVI)method.Firstly,(PyC-Si OC);multilayered structure was formed by cycles of impregnation and deposition.Then SiOC was transformed into SiC by heat-treatment,and(PyC-SiC)_(n)multilayered structure would be obtained.At the same time,the PyC layer which was designed as the outmost layer could decrease gas supersaturation to form in-situ tubular SiC nanowires on the surface of multilayered structure.The results of three-point bending test showed that the maximum force of SM-CS composites was increased by the number of cycles of the preparation process,which were up to enhanced by 74.38%compared with C/C composite materials.The fracture surface showed that the improvement was due to the multiscale reinforcing system of(PyC-SiC)_(n)multilayered structure and SiC nanowires.Multilayered structure can protect carbon fibers and release stress concentration by induction of cracks.And the mechanical interlocking effect of SiC nanowires could reinforce bonding force of the remaining matrix.
文摘We present a method for designing an open acoustic cloak that can conceal a perturbation on Hat ground aria simultaneously meet the requirement of communication and matter interchange between the inside and the outside of the cloak. This cloak can be constructed with a multilayered structure and each layer is an isotropic and homogeneous medium. The design scheme consists of two steps： firstly, we apply a conformal coordinate transformation to obtain a quasi-perfect cloak with heterogeneous isotropic material; then, according to the profile of the material distribution, we degenerate this cloak into a multilayered-homogeneous isotropic cloak, which has two open windows with negligible disturbance on its invisibility performance. This may greatly facilitate the fabrication and enhance the applicability of such a carpet-type cloak.

文摘We propose the practical realization of a shrinking device by using layered structures of homogeneous isotropic materials.By mimicking the shrinking device with concentric alternating thin layers of isotropic dielectrics,the permittivity and the permeability in each isotropic layer can be properly determined from the effective medium theory in order to achieve the shrinking effect.The device realized by multilayer coating with dielectrics is validated by TE wave simulation,and good shrinking performance is demonstrated with only a few layers of homogeneous isotropic materials.

文摘Chromium oxide ceramic materials are widely used in high-temperature applications requiring high wear resistance and lubricity.To further improve the friction and wear performance and high-temperature stability of chromium oxide thin films,this study attempted to dope rare earth(RE)element Y(yttrium)and deposited CrYO high-temperature self-lubricating ceramic thin films with different doping levels on the surface of IN718 alloys by using multi-arc ion plating technology.The deposited films were annealed at 1000℃for 2 h under atmospheric conditions to analyze the changes in phase composition and thickness,and the friction and wear characteristics of the CrYO films were tested using a high-temperature friction and wear tester in the temperature range of 25–600℃.The results show that the CrYO-2 film has a dense multilayer structure,and the multilayer oxide film produces interlayer sliding under frictional shear,thus providing lubrication.In particular,the friction coefficients are as low as about 0.25 in the middle and high-temperature sections(400,600℃),which provides good high-temperature tribological properties.In addition,the doping of Y elements dramatically affects the formation of the oxide layer and the distribution of voids in the film,changing the diffusion process of the elements of the base material inside the film and at the film-air interface at high temperatures.After two annealing treatments,the film thickness increased from 1.81 to 2.25μm,and the volume expansion of the films was effectively controlled compared with that of the Cr_(2)O_(3)films.

文摘MXene-based multilayered composite films show great promise in electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding field,but the trade-off between mechanical properties,oxidation resistance and EMI shielding performance remains a huge challenge.Herein,inspired by the architecture of millefeuille,alternating multilayered MXene/carbon nanotube(CNT)films were successfully prepared using an alternating vacuum-assisted filtration method,in which the alternating CNT layers not only act as the mechanical frame and oxidation barrier,but also synergistically enhance the EMI shielding effect of MXene layers through the distinctive“absorption-reflection-reabsorption”mechanism.By optimizing the alternating multilayered structure,the MXene/CNT film with a thickness of 36µm can achieve a remarkable EMI shielding effectiveness(SE)of 81.4 dB across the frequency range of 8.2–26.5 GHz.Meanwhile,the mechanical strength and toughness of the MXene/CNT film reach 83.4 MPa and 7.20 MJ/m^(3),respectively.Moreover,the CNT layer can effectively isolate MXene layer from oxygen,thus enabling the fire/oxidation resistance of the multilayer film in complex environments.Besides,the multilayered composite film exhibits impressive Joule heating capacity,which can reach 237℃within 10 s at an applied voltage of only 2.0 V.Therefore,the alternating multilayered MXene/CNT film breaks through the performance balance limit,showing a great prospect for the future.

文摘Tin dioxide(SnO_(2))with a high theoretical specific capacity of 1494 mAh g^(-1)is a promising candidate anode material for lithium storage.However,the shortcomings of serious volume expansion and low conductivity limit its wide application.Herein,coaxial nano-multilayered C/SnO_(2)/TiO_(2)composites were fabricated via layerby-layer self-assembly of TiO_(2)and SnO_(2)-gel layers on the natural cellulose filter paper,followed by thermal treatment under a nitrogen atmosphere.Through engineering design of the assembly process,the optimal C/SinO_(2)/TiO_(2)composite features five alternating SnO_(2)and TiO_(2)nanolayers,with TiO_(2)as the outside shell(denoted as C/TSTST).This unique structure endows the C/TSTST with excellent structural stability and electrochemical kinetics,making it a high-performance anode for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).The C/TSTST composite delivers a high reversible capacity of 676 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1)after 200 cycles and retains a capacity of 504 mAh g^(-1)at 1.0 A g^(-1),which can be recovered to 781 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1)The significantly enhanced electrochemical performance is attributed to the hierarchical hybrid structure,where the carbon core combined with coaxial TiO_(2)nanolayers serves as a structural scaffold,ameliorating volume change of SnO_(2)while creating abundant interfacial defects for enhanced lithium storage and rapid charge transport.These findings are further demonstrated by the density functional theory(DFT)calculations.This work provides an efficient strategy for designing coaxial nano-multilayered transition metal oxide-related electrode materials,offering new insights into high-performance LIBs anodes.

文摘The oxidation behavior of a nickel-based superalloy GH738 was studied by isothermal oxidation tests in still air at different temperatures,with exposure time up to 100 h.Oxidation-kinetic curves were plotted using the mass gain method.The surface and cross-sectional morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).A composition analysis and an oxidation-product identification were conducted using energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS) and an X-ray diffraction(XRD),respectively.The results showed that GH738 exhibited parabolic oxidation-kinetic curves,with stable parabolic-rate constants at each temperatures.The activation energy of oxide growth was calculated to be329.6 kJ·mol^(-1).Cr_(2) O_(3)(chromia) was the external oxidation product at 800℃.A TiO_(2)-Cr_(2) O_(3) double-layer structure was formed at 900℃.The position of TiO_(2) changed from the oxide-metal interface to the air-oxide interface by the diffusion of Ti atoms in chromia during the oxidation time at this temperature.Spallation was observed in the Cr_(0.12)Ti_(0.78)O_(1.74)-Cr_(2) O_(3) multi-layer oxide of at 1000℃,which increased the oxidation rate.For all the tests,the main internal oxide was always Al_(2) O_(3).The entire GH738 oxidation process was interpreted by the competitive diffusion of elements(Cr,Ti,Ni,etc.) in metal matrix and chromia,while a schematic diagram of oxidation process was proposed.

文摘In this work,the high temperature friction mechanism of the tetrahedral amorphous carbon(ta-C)film was elucidated.The multilayer ta-C film with alternating hard and soft sub-layers exhibited a low friction coefficient of 0.14 at 400℃ before a sudden failure occurred at 4600 cycles.The wear failure was attributed to the gradual consumption of the ta-C film at the contact region.The design of a hard or soft top layer effectively regulated the high temperature friction properties of the multilayer ta-C.The addition of a hard top layer contributed to a low friction coefficient(0.11)and a minor wear rate(4.0×10^(-7)mm^(3)/(N m)),while a soft top layer deteriorated the lubrication effect.It was proposed that the passivation of dangling bonds at the sliding interface dominated the low-friction mechanism of the ta-C film at high temperature,while the friction induced graphitization and the formation of sp^(2)-rich carbonaceous transfer layer triggered C-C inter-film bonding,resulting in serious adhesion force and lubrication failure.Moreover,the multilayer ta-C film with hard top layer obtained excellent friction performance within 500℃,while the high temperature induced oxidation and volatilization of carbon atoms led to the wear failure at 600℃.

文摘An indoor location system based on multilayer artificial neural network（ANN） with area division is proposed.The characteristics of recorded signal strength（RSS）,or signal to noise ratio（SNR） from each available access points（APs）,are utilized to establish the radio map in the off-line phase.And in the on-line phase,the two or three dimensional coordinates of mobile terminals（MTs） are estimated according to the similarity between the new recorded RSS or SNR and fingerprints pre-stored in radio map.Although the feed-forward ANN with three layers is sufficient to describe any nonlinear mapping relationship between inputs and outputs with finite discontinuous points,the efficient inputs for better training performances are difficult to be determined because of complex and dynamic indoor environment.Then,the discussion of distance relativity for different signal characteristics and optimal strategies for multi-mode phenomenon avoidance is presented.And also,the feasibility and effectiveness of this method are verified based on the experimental comparison with normal ANN without area division,K-nearest neighbor（KNN） and probability methods in typical office environment.

文摘Hot compression was performed on a multilayered Au−20Sn eutectic alloy to investigate the deformation behavior and microstructure evolution.During hot compression,microstructural spheroidization was initiated from plastic instability regions,and it was preferentially activated in vertical lamellae with a growth direction parallel to the compressive direction.Continuous dynamic recrystallization associated with lattice dislocations was the mechanism in both AuSn and Au5Sn multilayers.After spheroidization,strain accumulations were weakened in both of the equiaxed phases,and the deformation mechanism was substantially replaced by grain boundary sliding and migration.Based on these findings,hot rolling was conducted on an as-cast Au−20Sn alloy and a foil with a thickness of~50μm was successfully prepared.The present study can promote the development of Au−20Sn foils,and provide insights into the deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of multilayered eutectic alloys.
