X-Ray Powder Diffraction （XRD） analysis confirmed the formation of Sr2Al2SiO7：Ce^3＋, Tb^3＋. Scanning Electron Microscopy （SEM） observation indicated that the microstructure of the phosphor consisted of regular fine grains with an average size of about 0.5-1 μm. Luminescence properties were analyzed by measuring the photoluminescence spectra. The Ce^3＋, Tb^3＋-codoped Sr2Al2SiO7 phosphors showed four main emission peaks： one at 414 nm for Ce^3＋ and three at 482, 543, and 588 nm for Tb^3＋. The emission spectra of the samples with different doping concentrations showed that the Tb^3＋ emission was dominant because of the persistent energy transfer from Ce^3＋. The decay characteristic was better than that prepared by the solid-state process in the comparable condition. The codoped phosphor displayed long persistent white phosphorescence.展开更多

The interfacial microstructure and the fractures were examined with an optical microscope （OM） and an S-4700 scanning electron microscope （SEM） equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer （EDS） and an electron probe X-ray microanalyzer （EPMA）. The structure of joint interface was identified by XRD （JDX-3530M）. Meanwhile, the fracture paths of the joints were comprehensively studied. The results show that processing parameters, especially the brazing temperature, have a significant effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of joints. The typical interface structure is SiO2/Ti2O＋Zr3Si2＋Ti5Si3/（Ti,Zr）＋Ti2O＋ TiZrNiCu/Ti（s.s）/TiZrNiCu＋Ti（s.s）＋Ti2（Cu,Ni）/TC4 from SiO2 glass ceramic to TC4 alloy side. Based on the mechanical property tests, the joints brazed at 880 ℃ for 5 rain has the maximum shear strength of 23 MPa.展开更多

Nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) and Raman spectroscopy revealed the existence of sixfold coordinated silicon species and network former units(NFUs) in the BaO-SiO2-P2O5 glasses. The glass transition temperature(Tg), which was measured by differential scanning calorimetry, increased rapidly along with the increase of SiO2 from 0 to 10 mol%, then declined and finally increased again, which showed a "Z" trend along with the increase of SiO2 while the density of the glasses showed the opposite trend. When the addition of SiO2 is 16 mol%, Tg decreased to an extremely low value(807.9 K). Besides, the Vickers indentation hardness(Hv) had been significantly enhanced from 4.66 to 6.63 GPa by adding 16 mol% SiO2. Furthermore, the liquid fragility index(m) of the glasses declined slowly firstly and then increased rapidly when the amount of SiO2 is greater than 13 mol%.展开更多

The complex dielectric constant and complex permeability of BaZnzCo2-zFe16 O27/SiO2-paraffin wax composites had been measured. Both the complex dielectric constant and dielectric loss exhibit almost no variation with frequency in 0.1-6.0GHz. The real part of permeability decreases with increasing frequency for all samples, and the imaginary part of permeability exhibits a clear resonance peak at 1.44GHz for Co2 W/SiO2, 1.32GHz for Zn0.5Co1.5 W/SiO2, 1.20GHz for Zn0.8Co1.2W/SiO2, and 1.08GHz for Zn1.1 Co0.9 W/SiO2. It is also showed that the content of zinc has a close effect on the magnetic properties of BaZnzCo2-zFe16O27/SiO2 microcrystalline glass ceramics, the greater the zinc content, the higher the values of imaginary part of permeability and magnetic loss.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction patterns of BaLaxFe12-xO19/SiO2 calcined at 1000℃manifest that all the species have hexagonal crystal structure and no diffraction peaks of SiO2 are found. The structure of BaLaxFe12-xO19 seems uniform at different La doping dosage. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) proves the co-existence of SiO2 and ferrites in the produc-ts. The addition of SiO2 nanoparticles promotes the formation of more homogeneous and finer ferrite crystal, as proved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
