Effect of Co substitution on the structural,dielectric and optical properties of KBiFe2O5

Cobalt (Co)-modified brownmillerite KBiFe2O5 (KBFO; [KBiFe2(1?x)Co2xO5 (x = 0, 0.05)]) polycrystalline is synthesized following the solid-state reaction route. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data confirmed the phase purity of KBFO and KBiFe1.9Co0.1O5 (KBFCO). The optical bandgap energy (Eg) of KBFO decreased from 1.59 to 1.51 eV because of Co substitution. The decrease in bandgap can be attributed to the tilting of the Fe–O tetrahedral structure of KBFCO. The observed room-temperature Raman peaks of KBFCO shifted by 3 cm?1 toward a lower wavenumber than that of KBFO. The shift in Raman active modes can be attributed to the change in the bond angles and bond lengths of the Fe–O tetrahedral structure and modification in response to oxygen deficiency in KBFO because of Co doping. Compared with that of KBFO, the frequency-dependent dielectric constant and dielectric loss of KBFCO decrease at room temperature, which is a con-sequence of the reduction in oxygen migration and modification in response to vibrational modes present in the sample.     

Corrosion behavior of cold-rolled and post heat-treated 316L stainless steel in 0.9wt%NaCl solution

The effect of cold rolling and post-rolling heat treatment on the microstructural and electrochemical properties of the 316L stainless steel was investigated.Two-pass and four-pass cold-rolled stainless steel specimens were heat-treated by annealing at 900℃followed by quenching in water.During the cold rolling,the microstructure of the as-received specimen transformed from austenite to strain-inducedα′-martensite due to significant plastic deformation that also resulted in significant grain elongation(i.e.,~33%and 223%increases in the grain elongation after two and four rolling passes,respectively).The hardness of the heat-treated as-received specimen decreased from HV 190 to 146 due to the recovery and recrystallization of the austenite grain structure.The cyclic polarization scans of the as-rolled and heat-treated specimens were obtained in 0.9wt%NaCl solution.The pitting potential of the four-pass rolled specimen was significantly increased from 322.3 to 930.5 mV after post-rolling heat treatment.The beneficial effect of the heat treatment process was evident from~10-times-lower corrosion current density and two-orders-of-magnitude-lower passive current density of the heat-treated specimens compared with those of the as-rolled specimens.Similarly,appreciably lower corrosion rate(3.302×10^?4mm/a)and higher pitting resistance(1115.5 mV)were exhibited by the postrolled heat-treated specimens compared with the as-rolled 316L stainless steel specimens.     

Dielectric relaxation and conduction mechanism in Aurivillius ceramic Bi5Ti3FeO15

For this study, we synthesized Aurivillius Bi5Ti3FeO15 ceramic using the generic solid-state reaction route and then performed room-temperature X-ray diffraction to confirm that the compound had a single phase with no impurities. The surface morphology of the prepared sample was observed to contain microstructural grains approximately 0.2–2 μm in size. The dielectric properties of the sample were determ-ined as a function of frequency in a range of approximately 100 Hz to 1 MHz at various temperatures (303 K ≤ T ≤ 773 K). Nyquist plots of the impedance data were found to exhibit a semi-circular arc in the high-temperature region, which is explained by the equivalent electrical circuit (R1C1)(R2QC2), where R1 and R2 represent the resistances associated with the grains and grain boundaries, respectively, C1 and C2 are the re-spective capacitances, and Q is the constant phase element (CPE), which accounts for non-Debye type of behavior. Our results indicate that both the resistance and capacitance of the grain boundaries are more prominent than those of the grains. The alternating current (ac) conductiv-ity data were analyzed based on the Jonscher universal power law, which indicated that the conduction process is dominated by the hopping mechanism. The calculated activation energies of the relaxation and conduction processes were very similar (0.32 to 0.53 eV), from which we conclude that the same type of charge carriers are involved in both processes.

基于2005～2014年西北五省人口-经济-水环境质量相关数据,构建耦合协调评价指标体系。运用统计学和GIS方法对近10年来西北地区人口-经济-水耦合协调发展的时空演变进行分析,发现2005～2014年,耦合类别变化情况为勉强耦合-初级耦合-中级耦合,耦合协调度持续上升表明三个子系统之间的协调促进作用增强,系统逐步由无序走向有序;近10年来,西北五省耦合协调度均有不同程度提升,其中青海省提升幅度最大,达到了0.44,陕西省提升幅度为0.044,是五省中提升幅度最小的省区;不论是区域整体还是区域内部各个省份,经济和人口对系统的推动作用均逐步增强,而水环境质量则逐步失去对各区域发展的推动力,表明区域发展的动力逐步由资源转向经济和人口,发展的可持续性增强。     

Processing and characterization of the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al6061–TiB2 composite

In the present research, aluminum metal matrix composites were processed by the stir casting technique. The effects of TiB2 rein-forcement particles, severe plastic deformation through accumulative roll bonding (ARB), and aging treatment on the microstructural charac-teristics and mechanical properties were also evaluated. Uniaxial tensile tests and microhardness measurements were conducted, and the micro-structural characteristics were investigated. Notably, the important problems associated with cast samples, including nonuniformity of the rein-forcement particles and high porosity content, were solved through the ARB process. At the initial stage, particle-free zones, as well as particle clusters, were observed on the microstructure of the composite. However, after the ARB process, fracturing phenomena occurred in brittle ceramic particles, followed by breaking down of the fragments into fine particles as the number of rolling cycles increased. Subsequently, com-posites with a uniform distribution of particles were produced. Moreover, the tensile strength and microhardness of the ARB-processed com-posites increased with the increase in the reinforcement mass fraction. However, their ductility exhibited a different trend. With post-deforma-tion aging treatment (T6), the mechanical properties of composites were improved because of the formation of fine Mg2Si precipitates.     

不同晶粒的纯铜表面划痕实验研究

金属薄板成形过程中由于模具与材料表面粗糙度相近,摩擦中的犁沟效应会对材料表面的变形行为产生重要影响,进而影响薄板材料的成形性能.为此,通过圆锥划伤实验,研究不同圆锥角度下不同晶粒尺寸材料的变形及损伤行为.结果表明:随着圆锥角度的增大,材料内裂纹产生的位置从划痕顶部逐渐转变为划痕中上部,材料的流动方向则从沿圆锥表面向上逐渐转变为向圆锥两侧扩展;晶粒尺寸的增大能够抑制划伤过程中材料内部裂纹的产生,从而减少划痕内的裂纹区域;材料的划伤硬度和划痕前端的材料堆积高度随着晶粒尺寸的增大而减小;材料划伤行为的晶粒尺度效应主要来自于晶粒尺寸对材料流动及断裂性能的影响.研究结果能够加深对金属成形过程中摩擦行为的认识,并对金属成形工艺的参数设计提供理论指导.     

Effect of MWCNT reinforcement on the precipitation-hardening behavior of AA2219

Aluminum alloy matrix composites have found a predominant place in research, and their applications are explored in almost all industries. The aerospace industry has been using precipitation-hardenable alloys in structural applications. However, insufficient literature is available on the influence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on precipitation-hardenable alloy composite materials; thus, this work was designed to elucidate the effect on MWCNT reinforcement on AA2219 with and without precipitation hardening. Reinforcement with MWCNTs has been reported to accelerate precipitation and to achieve greater hardness within a much shorter time. The addition of 0.75wt% MWCNTs resulted in maximal hardness at 90 min, which is approximately 27% of improvement over the maximum hardness achieved by the corresponding monolithic alloy after 10 h of aging. The sample reinforced with 0.75wt% MWCNTs showed an improvement of 82% in hardness by solutionizing and aging compared to that achieved by sintering.

欧陆科学哲学的两条路径（英文）

如果你戴上我称为"欧陆式眼镜"的东西,运用欧陆哲学的视角来审视诸如探究、发现、实验、理论和确证等传统的科学哲学问题,某些事物就会以颇为不同的方式呈现,你就会看到新的事物,一切事物会彼此相关并以不同的方式与背景相关。透过欧陆式眼镜的凝视,让你倾向于关注两种事物:第一,那些妨碍你看得更清晰的事物;第二,事物"如何"显现,而非事物是"什么"。该隐喻有某种严重的缺陷,但仍是有用的,因为它提示了审视科学的传统视角与欧陆视角之间的巨大差异。它也能被用于发展"科研平台"这个观念,即科学不仅仅是一组活动,不仅仅是在某种程度上允许我们将之封闭的一组工具、实践和借此形成的知识,而是由诸线条的流动之网构成的,这些线条顺利地与紧密地整合入我们的世界并且塑造了世界的轮廓。我在本文中讨论了欧陆科学哲学的两条可能路径。一条涉及的是"解构性的重演",即对我们继承下来的科学概念(包括传统的分析性概念与海德格尔的"科学不思"的概念)的探究;另一条涉及的是可被称为"回归田野研究"的东西,即仔细地审视科学实践。接受这两条路径,将让欧陆科学哲学唤醒一大片重要的探究领域。忽略这些探究的领域,科学哲学将自食其果。
