Particle size and shape of LaF3 nanocrystalline powder was analysed with TEM. Particles were mainly spherical with narrow particle size distribution （10 20 nm）. The average particle size analysed with XRD is 16.7 nm. Nano-LaF3 bulk material was prepared by compacting the powder to 1 GPa at room temperature and a vacuum of 10^-4 Pa. The ionic conductivity of nano-LaF3 bulk material was studied with complex impedance spectra at room temperature. The ionic conductivity of nano-LaF3 bulk material （1 × 10^-5 S·cm^-1 ） at room temperature is significantly increased compared to that of single crystal LaF3 （1 × 10^-6 S·cm^-1）. A special phenomenon was observed firstly time that the ionic conductivity increased gradually with multiple testing in result of relaxation.展开更多

These samples were characterized by Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) to determine the elemental composition, as well as by X-ray diffraction for structure, hot point probe method for type of conductivity. Optical response (Photoconductivity) and Photoluminescence (PL) and PL-excitation (PLE) at temperatures from 4.2 to 77 K were also used to estimate the band-gap energy of Cu-Ga<sub>3</sub>Se<sub>5</sub>. They show a nearly perfect stoechiometry and present p-type conductivity. CuGa<sub>3</sub>Se<sub>5</sub> either have an Ordered Defect Chalcopyrite structure (ODC), or an Ordered Vacancy Chalcopyrite structure (OVC). The gap energy obtained by Photoconductivity and Photoluminescence (PL) for the different samples is 1.85 eV.

Most MgZn2 particles with a coarse size lie on the grain boundaries of the SPS-processed sample. After solid solution and artificial aging, fine spherical-like MgZn2 particles precipitate uniformly in the grain interiors. No obvious grain growth is found after the heat treatment. A nanoindentation study indicates that no clear change is found in the Yong＇s modulus of the nanostructured alloy after the heat treatment. However, the hardness of the nanostructured alloy increases by about 33% after the heat treatment, which is attributed to the effect of precipitation-hardening.展开更多

We find the limit for the specific surface area to be 3500–3700 m^2 g^(-1), and based on this, the corresponding best capacitance was predicted for various electrolyte systems. A model using an effective ionic diameter for the electrolyte ions was proposed and used to calculate the theoretical capacitance. A linear dependence of experimental capacitance versus effective specific surface area of various sp^2 carbon materials was obtained for all studied ionic liquid, organic and aqueous electrolyte systems. Furthermore, excellent agreement between the theoretical and experimental capacitance was observed for all the tested sp^2 carbon materials in these electrolyte systems, indicating that this model can be applied widely in the evaluation of various carbon materials for supercapacitors.展开更多

Grain size reduction and microstrain variations of the high purity copper samples after different passes of compression and fold are investigated by scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffraction （XRD）, respectively. Our results show that the average grain size of samples decreases from about 830 nm to 127 nm as the number of compression passes increases to 30. Microstrain in the compressed sample is found to increase for the first 20 passes, but to decrease at the last 10 passes. The variations of compressive yield strength and the shift of XRD peaks to larger diffraction angles are observed in the squeezed sample. Our experimental results demonstrate that the repetitive uniaxial compression combined with accumulative fold is an effective method to prepare bulk nanocrystalline metallic materials, in particular for soft metals such as Cu, Al and Pb.展开更多

文摘Spin Hall effect(SHE)provides a promising solution to the realization of advantageous functionalities for spin-based recording and information processing.In this work,we conduct high-throughput calculations on the spin Hall conductivity(SHC)of antiperovskite compounds with the composition ZXM3,where Z is a nonmetal,X is a metal,and M is a platinum group metal.From an initial database over 4500 structures,we screen 295 structurally stable compounds and identify 24 compounds with intrinsic SHC exceeding 500(ℏ/e)(Ω^(⁻1)cm^(⁻1)).We reveal a strong dependence of SHC on spin-orbit coupling-induced energy splitting near the Fermi level.In addition,SHCs can be regulated through proper doping of electrons or holes.The present work establishes high-throughput database of SHC in antiperovskites which is crucial for designing future electric and spintronic devices.
文摘Thermal rectification refers to the asymmetry in heat transfer capability when subjected to forward and reverse temperature gradients.A thermal cloak can render objects invisible in thermal fields by redirecting heat flux pathways.In this paper,we present a thermal diode model based on a bi-layer thermal cloak system that incorporates a composite heat-fluxattracting layer with asymmetric,temperature-dependent thermal conductivity.In the forward case,the heat flux bypasses the cloaking region while maintaining undistorted background isotherm contours,whereas in the reverse case,the thermal cloak fails to function and the device effectively insulates heat.Consequently,thermal rectification occurs in the bi-layer thermal cloak system.A significant increase in the thermal rectification ratio is observed as the temperature gradient increases.By optimizing the system dimensions,a peak rectification ratio of 11.06 is achieved.This study provides physical insight and a design framework for developing novel thermal diodes with dual-functional thermal management capabilities.

文摘Materials with intrinsically low thermal conductivity are of fundamental interests.Here we report a new sort of simple one-dimensional(1 D)crystal structured bismuth selenohalides(Bi Se X,X=Br,I)with extremely low thermal conductivity of^0.27 W m^-1K^-1 at 573 K.The mechanism of the extremely low thermal conductivity in 1 D Bi Se X is elucidated systematically using the first-principles calculations,neutron powder-diffraction measurements and temperature tunable aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy(STEM).Results reveal that the1 D structure of Bi Se X possesses unique soft bonding character,low phonon velocity,strong anharmonicity of both acoustic and optical phonon modes,and large off-center displacement of Bi and halogen atoms.Cooperatively,all these features contribute to the minimal phonon transport.These findings provide a novel selection rule to search low thermal conductivity materials with potential applications in thermoelectrics and thermal barrier coatings.
