The impact of nanoporous SiN x interlayer growth position on high-quality GaN epitaxial films

The impact of nanoporous SiN x interlayer growth position on high-quality GaN epitaxial film was elucidated from the behavior of dislocations. The best quality GaN film was achieved when a nanoporous SiN x interlayer was grown on a rough layer, with the high-resolution X-ray diffraction rocking curve full width at half maximum for ( 1102 ) reflection decreasing to 223 arcs, and the total dislocation density reduced to less than 1.0×10 8 cm 2 . GaN films were grown on sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The quality of these films was investigated with high-resolution X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. A preference for the formation of half-loops to reduce threading dislocations was observed when an SiN x interlayer was grown on a rough layer. A growth mechanism is proposed to explain this preference.

Experimental and theoretical studies of the reaction between cationic vanadium oxide clusters and acetylene

The time of flight mass spectrometer coupled with a laser ablation/supersonic expansion cluster source and a fast flow reactor was adopted to study the reactivity of cationic vanadium oxide clusters （VinOS,） toward acetylene （C2H2） molecules under gas phase （P, - 1.14 kPa）, under near room temperature （T, - 350 K） conditions. Association products, VmOnC2H2^＋ （m,n = 2,4; 2,6; 3,7-8; 4,9-11; 5,12-13; 6,13-16, and 7,17）, are observed. The oxidation of C2H2 by （V2Os）n^＋ （n = 1 -3） is experimentally identified. The reactivity of （V2O5）n^＋ decreases as n increases. Density functional theory （DFT） calculations were carried out to interpret the reaction mechanisms. The DFT results indicate that a terminal oxygen atom from V2O5^＋ can transfer overall barrierlessly to C2H2 at room temperature, which is in agreement with the experimental observation. Other experimental results such as the observation of V206C2H2^＋ and nonobservation of V2O7,8C2H2^＋ in the experiments are also well interpreted based on the DFT calculations. The reactivity of vanadium oxide clusters toward acetylene and other hydrocarbons may be considered in identifying molecular level mechanisms for related heterogeneous catalysis.     

The preparation and characterization of amorphous SiCN thin films

Radio Frequency plasma enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (RF CVD) using N₂, SiH₄ and C₂H₄ as the reaction sources was used to prepare amorphous ternary Si _x C _y N _z thin films. The chemical states of the C, Si and N atoms in the films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The refractive indexn, extinction coefficientk and optical band gapE _opt of the thin films were investigated by UV-visible spectrophotometer and spectroscopic ellipsometer. The results show that a complex chemical bonding network rather than a simple mixture of Si₃N₄, SiC, CN _x and a-C etc., may exist in the ternary thin films. Then's of the films are within the range of 1. 90–2. 45, andE _opt's of all samples are within the range of 2. 71–2. 86 eV.

Structure and electrochemical properties of LiLaxMn2-xO4 cathode material by the ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel method

Powders of spinel LiLa_xMn_2—xO₄ were successfully synthesized by the ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel (UASG) method. The structure and properties of LiLa_xMn_2—xO₄ were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), galvanostatic charge-discharge test, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). XRD results show that the La³⁺ can partially replace Mn³⁺ in the spinel and the doped materials with La³⁺ have a larger lattice constant compared with pristine LiMn₂O₄. FT-IR indicates that the absorption peak of Mn³⁺−O and Mn⁴⁺− O bonds has a red and blue shift with the increase of doping lanthanum in LiLa_xMn_2—xO₄, respectively. The charge-discharge test exhibits that the initial discharge capacity of LiLa_xMn_2—xO₄ drops off, and the capacity retention increases gradually at C/5 discharge rate with the increase of doping lanthanum, and LiLa_0.01Mn_1.99O₄ has a higher discharge capacity and a better cycling performance at 1C discharge rate. CV reveals that the doping La³⁺ is beneficial to the reversible extraction and intercalation of Li⁺ ions.

The distribution of a CP-asymmetric quantityA in the decay channelJ/ψ→π ⁺ π ^? π ⁰ is investigated. This dimensionless quantityA is constructed from the momenta of the π-meson final states, namely A=P _x ^{π +} P _y ^{π ?} -P _x ^{π ?} P _y ^{π ?}, whereP _h,P _x ^h andP _y ^h are the module of the momentum of a hadron h, the x- and y-components of that momentum respectively, theJ/ψ particle is produced by e⁺ e^? collision, and the direction of the momentum of e⁺ is taken to be the positive direction ofz axis.

Wear properties of NiAl based materials

The NiAl based materials including NiAl-TiC-Al2O3 composite,NiAl-Cr(Mo)-Hf-Ho eutectic alloy and NiAl-Cr(Mo)-CrxSy in situ composite were fabricated and their wear properties were tested at different temperatures.The results revealed that the NiAl-TiC-Al2O3 composite,NiAl-Cr(Mo)-Hf-Ho eutectic alloy and NiAl-Cr(Mo)-CrxSy in situ composite exhibited the excellent wear properties between 700℃ and 900℃.The microstructure observations exhibited that the self-lubricant films formed on the worn surfaces during the dry sliding test at high temperature,which decreased the wear rate and friction coefficient significantly.TEM observation on the self-lubricant film revealed that it was mainly comprised by ceramic amorphous and nanocrystalline.Compared with the NiAl-TiC-Al2O3 composite,the NiAl-Cr(Mo)-CrxSy in situ composite has lower friction coefficient at low temperature.Such phenomena may be ascribed to the addition of sulfide which contributes much to the formation of self-lubricant,and moreover the TiC addition increase the strength of NiAl based material and its wear resistance.

Tunable tribological properties in water-based lubrication of water-soluble fullerene derivatives via varying terminal groups

In this paper,three kinds of water-soluble fullerene derivatives were synthesized via electrophilic addition reaction and cycloaddition reaction,respectively.The chemical composition characterizations of these derivatives indicated the successful preparation of C60(OH)x,C60(C(COOH)2)x and C60(OH)x(NHCH2COOH)y fullerene derivatives.The aggregation and morphology characterizations showed that the three kinds of derivatives had an ideal spherical aggregating structures and excellent dispersibility in water,especially C60(OH)x and C60(C(COOH)2) x.The lubrication performance of the fullerene derivatives acted as lubricant additives were investigated at different concentrations in the range of 0-1 wt%.The results indicated that the addition of polyhydroxyl and carboxylic derivatives could improve the lubrication properties,which led to the reduction of wear to about 40% at most.It is attributed that the optimized substitutions of fullerene molecules may be of benefit to their distribution properties and lubricating behaviors in water based lubrication.     

An in-situ DRIFTS study in the reaction between NO x and soot on BaAl2O4

The interactions between NO, O2 and their mixture on BaAl2O4, as well as the reaction of NOx with soot in the presence of O2, have been investigated using Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy （DRIFTS）. NO adsorption produces only nitrites species in the absence of O2. NO2 adsorption produces nitrates species besides nitrites species. The produced nitrites will further react with O2, Osurf^-. and Olattice^2- to form nitrates. The reaction of NOx with soot begins with the reaction of nitrates with soot oxygenated complex （C（O））, which is regarded as the key and rate determining step. A reaction pathway is proposed for the catalyzed reaction of NOx with soot in the presence of O2.     

Surface chemical structure of titania-silica nanocomposite powder

Titania-silica （TS） nanocomposite powder with three different composite structures, containing 10-30 mol% SiO2 in each structure, have been prepared by sol-gel processes. The surface characteristics of these titania-silica samples have been investigated by X-ray photo-emission spectroscopy （XPS） and high resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）. The study for all TS oxides annealed at 773 and 1173 K showed： an abnormal surface enrichment in Si increased with increasing annealing temperature; the Ti^3＋, Ti^2＋, Si^3＋ and Si^2＋ oxides coexisted with Ti^4＋ and Si^4＋ oxides, and the contents of these Ti/Si suboxides increased with increasing SiO2 content and annealing temperature; there was a layer rich in O on the topmost surface and the excess O could be attributed to the chem-adsorption of H2O; different composite structures could lead to different contents of Ti/Si suboxides. These results indicated that the surface of TS oxide powder derived by sol-gel process was a double layer with enriched O first and then SiOx/TiOy（x, y〈2）. Ti/Si suboxides could result from the thermal diffusion of Ti^4＋ and Si^4＋, which might be induced by the strong interaction between Ti^4＋ and Si^4＋.

Electrical and band-gap properties of amorphous zinc–ind ium–tin oxide thin films

Zinc–indium–tin oxide (ZITO) films were grown by pulsed-laser deposition. Three different material compositions were investigated: ZITO-30, ZITO-50 and ZITO-70 in which 30%,50% and 70%, respectively, of the indium in the In2O3 structure was replaced by substitution with zinc and tin in equal molar proportions (co-substitution): In22xZnxSnxO3, where x=0.3, 0.5, 0.7. All ZITO films grown at room temperature were amorphous. The first evidence of crystallinity was observed at higher deposition-temperature as the degree of co-substitution was increased. A decrease in mobility and conductivity was also observed as the degree of co-substitution was increased. The highest mobility for ZITO-30 and ZITO-50 was observed at deposition temperatures just prior to crystallization. The effect of deposition temperature on carrier concentration was minor compared to the effect of oxygen partial pressure during deposition.

On the Family of Thue Equation ｜x^3 ＋ mx^2y-（ m ＋ 3）xy^2 ＋ y^3｜= k

The family of cubic Thue equation which depend on two parameters ｜ x^3 ＋ mx^2 y-（m＋3） xy^2＋y^3｜=k is studied. Using rational approximation, we give a smaller upper bound of the solution of the equation, that is quite better than the present result. Moreover, we study two inequalities ｜ x^3 ＋ mx^2y-（m ＋ 3） xy^2＋y^3 ｜ =k≤2m＋3 and ｜x^3 ＋mx^2y- （m＋3）xy^2 ＋ y^3｜ = k≤ （2m＋3）^2 separately. Our result of upper bound make it easy to solve those inequalities by simple method of continuous fraction expansion.     

Phase analysis and thermal conductivity of in situ O′-sialon/β-Si3N4 composites

Typical O??-sialon-based ceramics, with a formula of Si_2?x Al _x O_1+x N_2?x , where x was set as 0.25, were fabricated by in-situ synthesis. Si₃N₄, Al₂O₃, and SiO₂ powders were used as raw materials, and MgO and Y₂O₃ were added as sintering additives. All the samples were sintered at different temperatures under a nitrogen pressure of 0.25?C0.30 MPa, and their microstructure, phase content, and thermal conductivity were evaluated. The effects of O??-sialon and ??-Si₃N₄ on the thermal conductivity were analyzed by numerical calculation in detail. In the case of the similar porosity, the thermal conductivity of O??-sialon-based ceramics decreased with the ratio of O??-sialon/??-Si₃N₄ increasing. When the ratio was 12, the thermal conductivity of O??-sialon ceramics sintered at 1360°C was 1.197 W·m^?1·K^?1.     

Preparation and catalytic performance of Fe-SBA-15 and FeO x /SBA-15 for toluene combustion

High-surface-area and well-ordered mesopor- ous Fe-incorporated SBA-15 （xFe-SBA-15） and SBA-15- supported FeOx （yFeOx/SBA-15） with the Fe surface den- sity between 0.09 to 1.11 Fe-atom/nm2 have been prepared using the one-step synthesis and incipient wetness impregnation methods, respectively. Physicochemical properties of these materials were characterized by means of numerous techniques, and their catalytic activities for the combustion of toluene were evaluated. It is found that the xFe-SBA-15 and yFeOx/SBA-15 samples possessed rod- or chain-like morphologies. The Fe species were of high dispersion when the Fe surface density was lower than 0.76 Fe-atom/nm2 in xFe-SBA-15 and 0.64 Fe-atom/nm2 in yFeOx/SBA-15. At a similar Fe surface density and space velocity, the xFe-SBA-15 catalysts showed better activity than the yFeOJSBA-15 catalysts, in which the xFe-SBA- 15 catalyst with Fe surface density 0.59 Fe-atom/nm2 performed the best. It is concluded that the good perfor- mance of the xFe-SBA-15 sample with Fe surface density 0.59 Fe-atom/nm2 was associated with its large surface area, high Fe species dispersion, and good low-temperature reducibility.
