The study showed that the internal behavior of this type of structure depends on a number of factors, including the engineering backfill, the reinforcement and the soil/reinforcement interaction. The study also showed that the soil-reinforcement interaction phenomenon is a fairly complex mechanism that depends on the applied load, the geometry of the structure, the characteristics of the soil and a set of parameters characterizing the nailing: density, number and length of reinforcements, inclination of the reinforcements in relation to the sliding surface, mechanical characteristics of the reinforcements and, in particular, the relative stiffness of the reinforcements and the soil. The results showed that the tensile forces developed in the reinforcement are not entirely reversible, and that the soil at the interface undergoes permanent deformation, leading to the appearance of irreversible tensile forces in the reinforcement.展开更多

Structural investigation certified the YIG cubic crystal structure formation, without any secondary phase. It is shown that, the relatively large ionic radius of the dopant cations results in an expansion of the lattice parameter, variations in the Iona-O-Iondangle, Iona-O,Iond-O and Ionc-O bond distances and decrease in the average crystallite size. Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) and Raman measurements are essential to testify the single-phase formation of YIG crystal structure and are observed changes in the stretching and vibrational modes, respectively. The morphological study, energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) spectra and textural properties show corallike structures, peaks associated with Pr^(3+) and Yb^(3+) atoms and the effect of dopants on surface area,diameter, and pore volume, respectively. The optical analysis from diffuse reflectance spectra witnessed an increase in the optical gap band, a decrease in Urbach energy and blue shift in the charge transfer,correlated with the expansion of the unit cell due to the dopant's insertion in the YIG structure. A typical ferrimagnetic behavior is exhibited by the Y_(3-x)Pr_(x)Fe_(5-y)Yb_(y)O_(12)compound. The saturation magnetization(M_(s)), cubic anisotropy constant(K_(1)) and coercive field(H_(c)) increase with the Pr^(3+)cations content, as consequence of their magnetic nature and distribution around of Fe^(3+)ions due to the coexistence with the Yb^(3+). Finally, for the first time, antibacterial tests by mean of the direct contact method were performed for YIG co-doped with Pr^(3+)and Yb^(3+)and it is shown that, relatively high dosages of Pr^(3+) cations favored the activity against S. aureus, therefore, a new biological property for YIG doped with rare earths is presented.展开更多

Structures of A0.67Ln0.33 Mn0.33Ti0.6703（A = Ca or Sr and Ln = rare earth） were found to have orthorhombic symmetry with the space group Pnrna, and their interatomic distances and bond angles were obtained. This space group was also derived from electron microscopic study. Electrical conductivity of Cao.67Ln0.33Mn0.33Ti0.6703 for several rare earth elements showed a semiconducting property with the activation energy of 0.4 eV. Some of these compounds of the strontium system show the antiferromagnetic properties below 10 K.展开更多

By plasma transmitting spectrograph, electron energy spectrometer, X ray diffractometter, micro hardometer and vibratory sample magnetometer the chemical constitution, structure and properties of the alloy coatings were analyzed and inspected. The results show that with a tiny quantity of rare earth metal added into Co B alloy coating, the content of boron is decreased in the alloy coatings, and the kinds of rare earth metal have enormous effect on the structure and properties of electroless Co B alloy coating. At the same time electroless Co B alloy with amorphous structure is transformed to electroless Co B RE alloy with microcrystalline or crystalline structure. In this way microhardness of the coatings is increased remarkably. Cerium and lanthanum would also increase the saturated magnetic intensity and decrease coercitive force of the coating. So soft magnetization of the coatings would be improved.展开更多

文摘This study proposes a general imperfect thermal contact model to predict the thermal contact resistance at the interface among multi-layered composite structures.Based on the Green-Lindsay(GL)thermoelastic theory,semi analytical solutions of temperature increment and displacement of multi-layered composite structures are obtained by using the Laplace transform method,upon which the effects of thermal resistance coefficient,partition coefficient,thermal conductivity ratio and heat capacity ratio on the responses are studied.The results show that the generalized imperfect thermal contact model can realistically describe the imperfect thermal contact problem.Accordingly,it may degenerate into other thermal contact models by adjusting the thermal resistance coefficient and partition coefficient.

文摘Structural manipulation plays a crucial role in material design,exerting a significant influence on various aspects of material performance.However,the impact of material microstructure on electromagnetic waves absorption properties has not been thoroughly investigated.In this study,based on ferrites,we controlled the micros tructural morphology by doping with light rare earth element Nd,and then formed heterogeneous structures through composite polypyrrole to enhance its performance.The structural changes in neodymium-doped ferrites and their corresponding variations in performance were systematically analyzed.The results indicate that Nd^(3+)ions doping has a pronounced effect on the microstructure of ferrites,significantly improving their dielectric loss capability for electromagnetic waves.The sample with optimal performance,Sr_(0.75)Nd_(0.25)Co_(2)Fe_(16)O_(27)@PPy,has a value of minimum reflection loss that can reach-63.11 dB,and the effective absorption bandwidth achieves 6.40 GHz at2.27 mm.This study provides instructive thinking for the structural manipulation of MA materials.

文摘Herein we report novel photocatalysts ZnIn_(2)S_(4)-Ag-LaFeO_(3) with the core-shell structured materials prepared by hydrothermal method.In order to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation of pollutants,LaFeO_(3) was prepared by hydrothermal followed by calcination,and further Ag nanoparticle(NP)was loaded onto the spherical structure of LaFeO_(3) by photolysis of silver nitrate,and finally the spherical Znln_(2)S_(4)-Ag-LaFeO_(3) photocatalyst was prepared by hydrothermal method again.The structure and properties of the as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence spectra.The results show that the synthesized composite photocatalysts display a significant improvement in photocatalytic efficiency relative to the single LaFeO_(3) and ZnIn_(2)S_(4)and form a core-shell structure.Furthermore,the effect of the ratio of each component on the photocatalytic efficiency was investigated in detail,and it is discovered that at an Methylene Blue(MB)concentration of 0.219 mol/L,the degradation rate of MB is 95%at 120 min using 0.02 g of catalyst with an ideal ZnIn_(2)S_(4):Ag:LaFeO_(3)ratio of 10:0.5:1.The possible mechanisms to improve the photocatalytic efficiency were explored.

文摘The influence of the growth of rare earth on the viscosity during the uniform cooling of CaO-SiO_(2-)CaF_(2)-Ce_(2)O_(3)slag was investigated by the high temperature viscometer.The results show that Ce_(2)O_(3)affects the viscosity variedly before and after the break temperature.At higher temperatures Ce_(2)O_(3)reduces the viscosity.When the temperature is below the break temperature,at a Ce_(2)O_(3)content of≥3 mol%,a rareearth crystalline phase is observed during the slag cooling process,and the break temperature progressively increases with the increase of Ce_(2)O_(3)concentration.There are no crystallized rare earths in the slag under the condition of Ce_(2)O_(3)concentration lower than 3 mol%.Too low or too high CaF_(2)content is found to be unfavorable for rare-earth crystallisation.The increase of Ce_(2)O_(3)content facilitates the depolymerization of silica-oxygen tetrahedral structure.Ca-F bond exists between structural units,weakening the flow resistance of structural units and lowering the viscosity of slag.

文摘Enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of the electrode materials,specifically oxygen reduction reaction(ORR),at lower operating temperatures(<600℃)is the prime rank to realize the commercialization of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs)research.Herein,a new hexagonal structure-based cathode material was developed with the co-doping of Gd_(2)O_(3)and Cr_(2)O_(3)of parent SrFe_(12)O_(19)oxide,respectively.At 550-475℃,Sr_(0.90)Gd_(0.10)Fe_(11.90)Cr_(0.10)O_(19)(SFO-10)cathode sample leading to the large peak power density(PPD)of 395 mW/cm^(2),has appropriate surface oxygen defects(O_(β))up to 17%,as verified by X-ray photoelectron microscopy(XPS).Theoretical calculations reveal that the co-doping of Gd and Cr oxides creates lattice disorder at the hexagonal lattice,which decreases the energy barrier for ion transport and enhances the electrocatalytic characteristics of ORR.Consequently,the SFO-10 cathode shows a favorable ORR activity with the least lower polarization resistance(ASR)at 550℃with gadolinium-doped ceria(GDC)electrolyte.This work provides a self-assembled single-phase hexagonal cathode to accelerate the lowtemperature hindrance of SOFC technology.

文摘Eu^(2+)ions'occupancy in a-cordierite structure has been a hot research topic.In this study,Eu^(2+)ions were introduced intoα-Mg_(2)Al_(4)Si_(5)O_(18)structure by glass skeleton modification relaxation crystallization route,and optimizing Eu^(2+)ions'occupancy was induced by changing the skeleton structure through Al^(3+)content and B^(3+)-P^(5+)double substituting 2Si4+.Three occupied luminescent structures'evolution was verified by combining photo luminescence spectra and lattice parameters.The results show that within the range of Al^(3+)content lower than 1.1 mol or B^(3+)-P^(5+)content higher than 3 mol%,the lattice parameters are dominated by the a/b direction.This is beneficial for Eu^(2+)ions to occupy structural channel sites and Ca^(2+)sites,which forms occupied luminescent structures Eu^(2+)_(vac)and Eu^(2+)_(Ca).When the Al^(3+)content is higher than 1.1 mol or B^(3+)-P^(5+)content is lower than 3 mol%,the lattice parameters are dominated by c direction,which is more conducive to Eu^(2+)ions occupying Mg2+sites and occupied luminescent structure Eu^(2+)_(Mg)formation.By sensitivity calculations,occupancy priority of Eu^(2+)ions are derived as Eu^(2+)_(Ca)>Eu^(2+)_(vac)>Eu^(2+)_(Mg).This study provides an effective strategy to modulate Eu^(2+)occupancy thereby achieving single-component white light emission.

文摘The magnetic refrigeration(MR)based on the principle of magnetocaloric effect(MCE)in magnetic materials was recognized as an alternative cooling way to our present commercialized vapor compression cycle technology.Evidently,a vital prerequisite for practical applications is the exploration of candidate materials with prominent magnetocaloric performances.In this paper,the polycrystalline garnet RE_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)(RE=Tb,Dy and Ho)compounds with the cubic structure(space group:Ia3d)were prepared using the Pechini sol-gel method,and their crystal structure,magnetic properties and comprehensive magnetocaloric performances were studied.The analysis of magnetic susceptibility curves in a static magnetic field H=0.1 T reveal that the Dy_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)undergoes antiferromagnetic transition with Néel temperature TN≈2.6 K,whereas the Tb_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)and Ho_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)exhibit no features indicative of the magnetic ordering processes down to 1.8 K.The comprehensive magnetocaloric performances,namely the maximum magnetic entropy change and relative cooling power,are derived indirectly from the isothermal field-dependent magnetization data,which yield 11.72,10.42,7.53 J/(kg·K)and 84.56,69.52,70.35 J/kg for the Tb_(3)Al_(5)O_(12),Dy_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)and Ho_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)under a low field change(ΔH)of 0-2 T,respectively.The superior comprehensive magnetocaloric performances and wide operating temperature range of these compounds under lowΔH make them attractive for cryogenic MR technology.
文摘The aim of this study is to characterize soil/reinforcement interaction in reinforced earth structures. The study showed that the internal behavior of this type of structure depends on a number of factors, including the engineering backfill, the reinforcement and the soil/reinforcement interaction. The study also showed that the soil-reinforcement interaction phenomenon is a fairly complex mechanism that depends on the applied load, the geometry of the structure, the characteristics of the soil and a set of parameters characterizing the nailing: density, number and length of reinforcements, inclination of the reinforcements in relation to the sliding surface, mechanical characteristics of the reinforcements and, in particular, the relative stiffness of the reinforcements and the soil. The results showed that the tensile forces developed in the reinforcement are not entirely reversible, and that the soil at the interface undergoes permanent deformation, leading to the appearance of irreversible tensile forces in the reinforcement.

文摘A two-dimensional electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulation model is proposed to study the density evolution and collective stopping of electron beams in background plasmas.We show here the formation of the multi-layer structure of the relativistic electron beam in the plasma due to the different betatron frequency from the beam front to the beam tail.Meanwhile,the nonuniformity of the longitudinal wakefield is the essential reason for the multi-layer structure formation in beam phase space.The influences of beam parameters(beam radius and transverse density profile)on the formation of the multi-layer structure and collective stopping in background plasmas are also considered.

文摘The substitution of Fe by Co in the 2:14:1 phase is an effective method to increase the Curie temperature and enhance the thermal stability of the Nd-Fe-B magnets.However,the accumulation of Co ele ment at the grain boundaries(GBs) changes the GBs from nonmagnetic to ferromagnetic and causes the thinlayer GBs to become rare,In this paper,the method of diffusing Tb element was chosen to improve the microstructure and temperature stability of high-Co magnets.Three original sintered Nd_(28.5)Dy_(3)-CO_(x)e_(bal)M_(0.6)B_(i)(x=0,6 wt%,12 wt%;M = Cu,Al,Zr) magnets with different Co contents were diffused with Tb by grain boundary diffusion(GBD).After GBD,high-Co magnets exhibit more continuously distributed thin-layer GBs,and their thermal stability is significantly improved.In high-Co magnets(x=6 wt%),the absolute value of the temperature coefficient of coercivity decreases from 0.603%/K to0.508%/K in the temperature range of 293-413 K,that of remanence decreases from 0.099%/K to 0.091%/K,and the coercivity increases from 18.44 to 25.04 kOe.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)characterization reveals that there are both the 1:2 phase and the amorphous phase in the high-Co magnet before and after GBD,EDS elemental analysis shows that Tb element is more likely to preferentially replace the rare earth elements in the 2:14:1 main phase than in the 1:2 phase and the amorphous phase.The concentration of Tb at the edge of the main phase is much higher than that in the 1:2phase and amorphous phase,which is beneficial to the improvement of the microstructure.The preferential replacement of Tb elements at the edge of the 2:14:1 phase and thin-layer GBs with a more continuous distribution are synergistically responsible for improving the thermal stability of high-Co magnets.The study indicates that GBD is an effective method to improve the microstructure and thermal stability of high-Co magnets.

文摘Coral-like structures of the Y_(3-x)Pr_(x)Fe_(5-y)Yb_(y)O_(12),(0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.04, 0.00 ≤ y ≤ 0.02) compound were synthesized using the sol-gel method. Structural investigation certified the YIG cubic crystal structure formation, without any secondary phase. It is shown that, the relatively large ionic radius of the dopant cations results in an expansion of the lattice parameter, variations in the Iona-O-Iondangle, Iona-O,Iond-O and Ionc-O bond distances and decrease in the average crystallite size. Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) and Raman measurements are essential to testify the single-phase formation of YIG crystal structure and are observed changes in the stretching and vibrational modes, respectively. The morphological study, energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) spectra and textural properties show corallike structures, peaks associated with Pr^(3+) and Yb^(3+) atoms and the effect of dopants on surface area,diameter, and pore volume, respectively. The optical analysis from diffuse reflectance spectra witnessed an increase in the optical gap band, a decrease in Urbach energy and blue shift in the charge transfer,correlated with the expansion of the unit cell due to the dopant's insertion in the YIG structure. A typical ferrimagnetic behavior is exhibited by the Y_(3-x)Pr_(x)Fe_(5-y)Yb_(y)O_(12)compound. The saturation magnetization(M_(s)), cubic anisotropy constant(K_(1)) and coercive field(H_(c)) increase with the Pr^(3+)cations content, as consequence of their magnetic nature and distribution around of Fe^(3+)ions due to the coexistence with the Yb^(3+). Finally, for the first time, antibacterial tests by mean of the direct contact method were performed for YIG co-doped with Pr^(3+)and Yb^(3+)and it is shown that, relatively high dosages of Pr^(3+) cations favored the activity against S. aureus, therefore, a new biological property for YIG doped with rare earths is presented.

文摘A simple composite Sr_(1-x)Nd_(x)MnO_(3)(x=0,0.05,0.1,0.15,0.2) nano powders were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method as a light-weight broadband electromagnetic wave absorber.The effect of Nd^(3+)doping on the structure,microstructure and properties of SrMnO_(3) was investigated.It is found that with the doping of Nd^(3+),the space group of the SrMnO_(3) changes from p63/mmc to pm3m,and the crystalline shape starts to change from hexagonal to cubic crystalline.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller(BET) tests confirm that the particle sizes of the sample decrease and the specific surface area increases,which are attributed to the inhibition of grain growth after Nd^(3+)is doped.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) shows that after Nd^(3+)doping,the content of oxygen vacancy increases,and Mn^(4+) converts to Mn^(3+).Due to the defects of the materials,the polarization effect is enhanced,thus,the dielectric and magnetic properties of the doped samples are improved.The maximum reflection loss of the Sr_(0.85)Nd_(0.15)MnO_(3) is-33.41 dB at 7.84 GHz for a thickness of 2.4 mm,while Sr_(0.9)Nd_(0.1)MnO_(3) has the best bandwidth performance at 2.32 GHz with a reflection loss below-10dB.

文摘By using real-space recursion method,the energetics of the undoped and Al and/or RE atoms doped 7（1450）〈0001〉 symmetric tilt grain boundaries（GBs）in AZ91 alloys were investigated.Similar calculations were performed on undoped and doped bulk α Mg for comparison.The results showed that Al atoms segregated at GBs in AZ91 alloys.When RE atoms were added,they also segregated at GBs,and their segregation is stronger than Al atoms＇.Therefore,RE atoms retard the segregation of Al atoms.Calculations of interaction energy indicated that Al atoms repelled each other,and could form ordered phase with host Mg atoms.On the contrary to the case of Al,RE atoms attracted each other,they could not form ordered phase with Mg,but could form clusters.Between RE and Al,there existed attractive interaction,and this attractive interaction was the origin of Al11RE3 precipitation.Precipitation of Al11RE3 particles with high melting point and high thermal stability along GB improves high temperature properties of AZ91 alloys.

文摘Several compounds of rare earth complex oxides containing manganese and titanium were synthesized in Ar, and their crystal structures were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction data and Rietveld method. Structures of A0.67Ln0.33 Mn0.33Ti0.6703（A = Ca or Sr and Ln = rare earth） were found to have orthorhombic symmetry with the space group Pnrna, and their interatomic distances and bond angles were obtained. This space group was also derived from electron microscopic study. Electrical conductivity of Cao.67Ln0.33Mn0.33Ti0.6703 for several rare earth elements showed a semiconducting property with the activation energy of 0.4 eV. Some of these compounds of the strontium system show the antiferromagnetic properties below 10 K.
文摘The effect of rare earth metals cerium, lanthanum and yttrium on chemical composition, structure and properties of electroless Co B alloy coating was studied. By plasma transmitting spectrograph, electron energy spectrometer, X ray diffractometter, micro hardometer and vibratory sample magnetometer the chemical constitution, structure and properties of the alloy coatings were analyzed and inspected. The results show that with a tiny quantity of rare earth metal added into Co B alloy coating, the content of boron is decreased in the alloy coatings, and the kinds of rare earth metal have enormous effect on the structure and properties of electroless Co B alloy coating. At the same time electroless Co B alloy with amorphous structure is transformed to electroless Co B RE alloy with microcrystalline or crystalline structure. In this way microhardness of the coatings is increased remarkably. Cerium and lanthanum would also increase the saturated magnetic intensity and decrease coercitive force of the coating. So soft magnetization of the coatings would be improved.

文摘Dy^(3+) and Lu^(3+) co-doped CaLaGa_(3)O_(7) phosphors were prepared via high-temperature solid-phase reaction.The electronic structures of LuxCaLa_(0.98-x)Ga_(3)O_(7) were investigated by the first-principles calculations.The influence of Lu^(3+) on yellow light emission was studied using X-ray diffraction(XRD)and photoluminescence(PL) measurements.The XRD results indicate that compared to Dy^(3+):CaLaGa_(3)O_(7),the cell parameters of Dy^(3+):LuCaLaGa_(3)O_(7) tend to decrease,which is due to the smaller radius of Lu^(3+).When pumped by blue GaN laser diode(LD),the emission peaks of phosphors with different Lu^(3+)doping concentrations in the visible region are similar,with the strongest peak at 574 nm in the yellow light region,which is sensitive to human eyes.The optimal doping concentration of Lu^(3+) is confirmed to be1 at%,when all emission spectra and measured fluorescence lifetimes are taken into account.Moreover,the optimal phosphor composition Dy^(3+):Lu_(x)CaLa_(0.98-x)Ga_(3)O_(7)(x=0.01) has an internal quantum efficiency(IQE) of 46.94% and an external quantum efficiency(EQE) of 15.19%.Most notably,the prepared phosphor demonstrates excellent thermal stability and a high activation energy(0.203 eV).In addition,the International Illumination Commission color coordinates of the Dy^(3+):LuxCaLa_(0.98-x)Ga_(3)O_(7) phosphors are in the yellow light area.The above analysis indicates that the Dy^(3+):LuxCaLa_(0.98-x)Ga_(3)O_(7)(x=0.001)phosphor has promising application prospects in yellow light-emitting devices.
