Given their effects on microstructure, most reports are focused on the toxicology rather than promotion. Using cucumis sativus L. (Jin Chun No.5) as experiment material, we try to find out the nutritional effects of low Y3+ concentrations on cucumber seedlings′ leaves. The present paper suggests that the rare earth elements act as micronutrients at low concentrations while they give rise to toxicity at high concentration. Benefits defeat toxicity with concentration ranging from 5 to 25 μmol·L-1. Through careful study, at the Y(NO3)3 concentration of 10 μmol·L-1 the content of chlorophyll as well as the activities of SOD, Cu-Zn SOD and the POD are the highest. It indicates 10 μmol·L-1 is the optimum concentration of yttrium for promoting the cucumber growth.展开更多

The experimental results shows that: with increasing of Zr content, tensile strength and creep resistance of the alloys increase, and reduction in area and thermal stability of the alloys decrease. Decrease in thermal stability of the alloys mainly caused by surface thermal unstability. After heat treatment Y addition can make grain size of the alloys refine. The reduction in area and thermal stability of the alloys with Y addition are improved, and tensile strength slightly decreases and creep resistance is essentially the same as the alloy without Y addition. These phenomena are explained in brief.展开更多

In addition,the additive of YClto the Au/AC catalyst greatly inhibits the coke deposition on the catalyst surface. The optimized catalyst with an atomic ratio of Y/Au = 5(1 wt% Au loading weight) yields an 87.8% acetylene conversion and almost 100% selectivity for VCM under the reaction of GHSV(CH) = 800 hat 180 ℃.The durability test indicates that the 5 Y-1 Au/AC catalyst maintains high catalytic activity for more than2300 h at 30 hGHSV(CH) and 180 ℃, indicating great promise as a non-mercury catalyst for PVC manufacture.展开更多

For practical use, this method is too cumbersome to be easily integrated into modern electrical circuits. Since the laser can be easily focused into a small region, it will be more convenient and friendly to the integrated circuit. In this paper, we systematically investigate the LSSE and spin Hall magnetoresistance（SMR） of the Pt/Y_3 Fe_5 O_（12） heterostructure under focused laser-heating. We find that the extremely large voltage of inverse spin Hall effect（VISHE） can be obtained by reducing the diameter of laser or increasing the number of light spots.Meanwhile, even under the illumination of the ultraviolet light which will excite the electron from the valence band to the conduction band in yttrium iron garnet（YIG）, the magnitude of SMR is nearly constant. It indicates that the spin transport behavior of the adjacent Pt is independent of the electron configuration of YIG. The laser-heating method to generate LSSE will be very promising for modern integrated electronic circuits and will promote the application of spin caloritronics in practice.展开更多

Texture and phases were identified by X-ray diffraction. Alloy ZM31 ＋ 0.3Y consisted of a mixture of fine equiaxed grains and elon- gated grains with 1-phase （Mg3YZno）; alloy ZM31 ＋ 3.2Y contained 1-phase and W-phase （Mg3Y2Zn3）; alloy ZM31 ＋ 6Y had long-period stacking-ordered （LPSO） X-phase （Mg12YZn） and Mg24Y5 particles. With increasing Y content the basal texture became weakened significantly. While alloys ZM31 ＋ 0.3Y and ZM31 ＋ 3.2Y exhibited a skewed true stress-true stain curve with a three-stage strain hardening feature caused by the occurrence of {1072} extension twinning, the true stress-true stain curve of alloy ZM31 ＋ 6Y was normal due to the dislocation slip during compression. With increasing temperature the extent of skewness decreased. While the compressive yield stress, ultimate compressive stress, strain hardening exponent, and hardening capacity all decreased as the temperature increased, the retention of the high- temperature deformation resistance increased with increasing Y content mainly due to the presence of thermally-stable LPSO X-ohase.展开更多
