The main contribution of monoclinic pyrrhotite is mainly from Fe 3d, while that of hexagonal pyrrhotite is from Fe 3d, Fe 3p and S 3s. The hexagonal pyrrhotite is more reactive than monoclinic pyrrhotite because of large density of states near the Fermi level. The hexagonal pyrrhotite shows antiferromagnetism. S—Fe bonds mainly exist in monoclinic pyrrhotite as the covalent bonds, while hexagonal pyrrhotite has no covalency. The main contributions of higest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular obital(LUMO) for monoclinic pyrrhotite come from S and Fe. The main contribution of HOMO for hexagonal pyrrhotite comes from Fe, while that of LUMO comes from S. The coefficient of Fe atom is much larger than that of S atom of HOMO for hexagonal pyrrhotite, which contributes to the adsorption of Ca OH+ on the surface of hexagonal pyrrhotite when there is lime. As a result, lime has the inhibitory effect on the floatation of hexagonal pyrrhotite and the coefficient of Fe is very close to that of S for monoclinic pyrrhotite. Therefore, the existence of S prevents the adsorption of Ca OH+on the surface of monoclinic pyrrhotite, which leads to less inhibitory effect on the flotation of monoclinic pyrrhotite.展开更多
The addition of hexagonal-close-packed(hcp)non-rare-earth elements Zr,Ti and Co,to the 10-component hep rare-earth-based high-entropy alloys(HEAs)with a composition of ScYLaNdGdTbDyHoErLuX(X=Zr,Co and Ti)was investiga...The addition of hexagonal-close-packed(hcp)non-rare-earth elements Zr,Ti and Co,to the 10-component hep rare-earth-based high-entropy alloys(HEAs)with a composition of ScYLaNdGdTbDyHoErLuX(X=Zr,Co and Ti)was investigated.The enthalpy of mixing between elements was found to have a significant effect on the formation of phases.The addition of Co combines with elements that had a strong chemical affinity to form intermetallic compounds by the effect of enthalpy.Ti was added with all elements with poor chemical affinity and exhibited rejection to form a phase alone.These were the two terminal manifestations of the role of enthalpy over entropy.Part of Zr was soluble in the matrix under the action of entropy,while the other part had a greater affinity for Sc than the other elements to form a precipitate under the action of enthalpy.This was the result of the local balance between the effect of enthalpy and entropy.The solid solution of the elements had different degrees of strengthening effect,among which Zr had the most excellent strengthening effect from 185 to 355 MPa,so the solid solution strengthening model and precipitation strengthening model were proposed to predict the strength of the alloy with the addition of Zr effectively.展开更多

A global analysis of constitutive parameters based on the Latin Hypercube Sampling method and the Spearman＇s rank correlation method is adopted in order to improve the identification efficiency of parameters. Then, an optimal solution of constitutive parameters as a whole is obtained by using a global genetic algorithm composed of an improved niche genetic algorithm, a global peak determination strategy and the local accurate search techniques. It is concluded that the proposed constitutive modal can accurately describe the Ti-6Al-4V alloy＇s dynamic behavior because the prediction results of the model are in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

Results indicate that both states of FeCoSn show an Ni_2In-type hexagonal structure with a small amount of FeCo-rich secondary phase. The Curie temperatures are located at 257 K and 229 K, respectively. The corresponding magnetizations are 2.57 μB/f.u. and 2.94 μB/f.u. at 5 K with a field of 50 kOe（1 Oe = 79.5775 A·m^（-1））. The orbital hybridizations between 3 d elements are analyzed from the distribution of density of states（DOS）, showing that Fe atoms carry the main magnetic moments and determine the electronic structure around Fermi level. A peak of DOS at Fermi level accounts for the presence of the FeCo-rich secondary phase. The Ni_2In-type hexagonal FeCoSn compound can be used during the isostructural alloying for tuning phase transitions.展开更多

However, the size the hexagonal boron nitride films are limited to the size of growth chamber, which indicates a lower production efficiency. In this paper, the utilization efficiency of growth chamber is highly improved by alternately stacking multiple pieces of Cu foils and carbon fiber surface felt with porous structure. Uniform and continuous hexagonal boron nitride films are prepared on Cu foils through chemical vapor deposition utilizing ammonia borane as the precursor. This work develops a simple and practicable method for high-throughput preparation of hexagonal boron nitride films, which could contribute to the industrial application of hexagonal boron nitride. .展开更多

These structures were easily obtained by the simple variation of applied voltage from 2-6 V between the electrodes. Lead sheet was used as an anode and platinum sheet served as a cathode. Anodic oxidation at 2 V resulted in the variable edge sized（1-2 μm） hexagon-like structures in the electrolyte. When the applied potential was increased to 4 V a structure of distorted hexagons consisting of some flower-like structures were obtained. Further increment of potential up to 6 V resulted in flower like structures of α-PbO2 having six petals. The diameter of the flower-like structures was 200-500 nm and the size of a petal was 100-200 nm.展开更多

Graphene layers are stacked on top of each other, forming a three-dimensional structure with a high degree of anisotropy. The carbon atoms within each layer are linked together by strong covalent bonds, creating a strong, stable lattice structure. However, the layers themselves are held together by weak van der Waals forces, enabling them to slide easily over each other. The properties of carbon graphite are highly dependent on the orientation and alignment of the graphene layers. When the layers are aligned parallel to each other, the material exhibits high strength and stiffness along the alignment direction, but is weaker and more flexible in other directions. Carbon graphite is used in a variety of applications where high strength, rigidity and electrical conductivity are required. Some common applications include electrical contacts, electric motor brushes, and as a structural material in aerospace and defense applications. The aim of our work is to describe the structure of graphite, its physical and chemical properties and its applications.展开更多

An abrupt decrease of about 7% in the unit cell volume of this material occurs in the pressure range of 26.3-30.2 GPa. A split of the Raman spectrum was also observed. The jump of the compression curve and Raman spectrum are ascribed to an isostructural transition in MgB_(2 ) at a pressure of 30.2 GPa.展开更多

While the results of the burned SSC sample showed that the burning process using the power of Nd: YAG laser cased in appearing of crystalline hexagonal phase for silica and Carbon Nitride and converting the rhombohedral phase of Carbon into hexagonal phase. FTIR showed a number of absorbance peaks assigned to silica.
文摘Carbon graphite is a crystalline form of carbon consisting of layers of hexagonal carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional “graphene” structure. Graphene layers are stacked on top of each other, forming a three-dimensional structure with a high degree of anisotropy. The carbon atoms within each layer are linked together by strong covalent bonds, creating a strong, stable lattice structure. However, the layers themselves are held together by weak van der Waals forces, enabling them to slide easily over each other. The properties of carbon graphite are highly dependent on the orientation and alignment of the graphene layers. When the layers are aligned parallel to each other, the material exhibits high strength and stiffness along the alignment direction, but is weaker and more flexible in other directions. Carbon graphite is used in a variety of applications where high strength, rigidity and electrical conductivity are required. Some common applications include electrical contacts, electric motor brushes, and as a structural material in aerospace and defense applications. The aim of our work is to describe the structure of graphite, its physical and chemical properties and its applications.
文摘A simple model of the closely packed structure for system of hard-sphere particles interacting via the long-range Newtonian type attraction is suggested. Based on density functional theory, the exact equation of state is obtained and the mutual transformations of the crystal structures in such systems are studied. The description takes into account the fact impossibility of hard-sphere particles which have the same spatial occupation place.

文摘ZnO thin films were deposited on n-Si （111） at various substrate temperatures by pulsed laser deposition （PLD）. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, photoluminescence （PL）, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer （FTIR）, and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） were used to analyze the structure, morphology, and optical property of the ZnO thin films. An optimal crystallized ZnO thin film was obtained at the substrate temperature of 600℃. A blue shift was found in PL spectra due to size confinement effect as the grain sizes decreased. The surfaces of the ZnO thin films were more planar and compact as the substrate temperature increased.

文摘The high-pressure behaviour of the superconductor MgB_(2) with a hexagonal structure has been investigated by the in situ synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction method under pressures up to 42.2 GPa in a diamond anvil cell. An abrupt decrease of about 7% in the unit cell volume of this material occurs in the pressure range of 26.3-30.2 GPa. A split of the Raman spectrum was also observed. The jump of the compression curve and Raman spectrum are ascribed to an isostructural transition in MgB_(2 ) at a pressure of 30.2 GPa.
