Room temperature photoluminescence(PL) and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) analyses are performed to investigate the optical, structural and morphological properties of the InN/PS nanocomposites. FESEM images show that the pore size of InN/PS nanocomposites is usually less than 4 μm in diameter, and the overall thickness is approximately 40 μm. The InN nanoparticles penetrate uniformly into PS layer and adhere to them very well. Nitrogen(N) and indium(In) can be detected by energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS). An important gradual decrease of the PL intensity for PS occurs with the increase of oxidation time, and the PL intensity of PS is quenched after 24 h oxidization. However, there is a strong PL intensity of InN/PS nanocomposites at 430 nm(2.88 eV), which means that PS substrate can influence the structural and optical properties of the InN, and the grown InN on PS substrate has good optical quality.展开更多

The relationships between the microstructures and the corresponding wear behavior are verified through the friction and wear tests. The worn surfaces of the samples with grain refiners tested under 15 and 60 N loads are analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM). The results indicate that the addition of grain refiners is beneficial to the size and distribution of the Bi-rich particles in Al-Bi alloys. Compared with Al-5Ti-B and Al-3B grain refiners, the Bi-rich particles are more uniformly distributed and spherical with finer size with the addition of Al-3Ti grain refiner. The refinement renders the Al-20wt%Bi alloy refined by Al-3Ti the superior wear resistance with respect to those refined by Al-5Ti-B and Al-3B grain refiners, corresponding to the microstructures with fine and uniformly distributed Bi-rich particles in the Al matrix.展开更多
