Direct deposition of graphene nanowalls on ceramic powders for the fabrication of a ceramic matrix composite

Uniform mixing of ceramic powder and graphene is of great importance for producing ceramic matrix composite. In this study, graphene nanowalls(GNWs) are directly deposited on the surface of Al_2 O_3 and Si_3 N_4 powders using chemical vapor deposition system to realize the uniform mixing. The morphology and the initial stage of the growth process are investigated. It is found that the graphitic base layer is initially formed parallel to the powder surface and is followed by the growth of graphene nanowalls perpendicular to the surface. Moreover, the lateral length of the graphene sheet could be well controlled by tuning the growth temperature. GNWs/Al_2 O_3 powder is consolidated by using sparking plasma sintering method and several physical properties are measured. Owing to the addition of GNWs, the electrical conductivity of the bulk alumina is significantly increased.

Influences of different oxidants on characteristics of La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 nanolaminates deposited by atomic layer deposition

A comparative study of two kinds of oxidants(H_2O and O_3) with the combination of two metal precursors(TMA and La(~iPrCp)_3) for atomic layer deposition(ALD) La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 nanolaminates is carried out. The effects of different oxidants on the physical properties and electrical characteristics of La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 nanolaminates are studied. Initial testing results indicate that La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 nanolaminates could avoid moisture absorption in the air after thermal annealing. However, moisture absorption occurs in H_2O-based La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 nanolaminates due to the residue hydroxyl/hydrogen groups during annealing. As a result, roughness enhancement, band offset variation, low dielectric constant and poor electrical characteristics are measured because the properties of H_2O-based La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 nanolaminates are deteriorated. Addition thermal annealing effects on the properties of O_3-based La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 nanolaminates indicate that O_3 is a more appropriate oxidant to deposit La_2O_3/Al_2O_3 nanolaminates for electron devices application.     

Thermal and induced flow characteristics of radio frequency surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuation at atmospheric pressure

Thermal and induced flow velocity characteristics of radio frequency(RF) surface dielectric barrier discharge(SDBD)plasma actuation are experimentally investigated in this paper. The spatial and temporal distributions of the dielectric surface temperature are measured with the infrared thermography at atmospheric pressure. In the spanwise direction, the highest dielectric surface temperature is acquired at the center of the high voltage electrode, while it reduces gradually along the chordwise direction. The maximum temperature of the dielectric surface raises rapidly once discharge begins.After several seconds(typically 100 s), the temperature reaches equilibrium among the actuator's surface, plasma, and surrounding air. The maximum dielectric surface temperature is higher than that powered by an AC power supply in dozens of k Hz. Influences of the duty cycle and the input frequency on the thermal characteristics are analyzed. When the duty cycle increases, the maximum dielectric surface temperature increases linearly. However, the maximum dielectric surface temperature increases nonlinearly when the input frequency varies from 0.47 MHz to 1.61 MHz. The induced flow velocity of the RF SDBD actuator is 0.25 m/s.     

Effect of pressure on the performance of plasma synthetic jet actuator

The effects of the ambient air pressure level on the performance of plasma synthetic jet actuator have been investigated through electrical and optical diagnostics.Pressures from 1 atm down to 0.1 atm were tested with a 10 Hz excitation.The discharge measurement demonstrates that there is a voltage range to make the actuator work reliably.Higher pressure level needs a higher breakdown voltage,and a higher discharge current and energy deposition are produced.But when the actuator works with the maximum breakdown voltage,the fraction of the initial capacitor energy delivered to the arc is almost invariable.This preliminary study also confirms the effectiveness of the plasma synthetic jet at low pressure.Indeed,the maximum velocities of the precursor shock and the plasma jet induced by the actuator with maximum breakdown voltage are independent of the ambient pressure level;reach about 530 and 460 m/s respectively.The mass flux of the plasma jet increases with ambient pressure increasing,but the strength of the precursor shock presents a local maximum at 0.6 atm.

金属氧化物包覆LiMn_2O_4的红外光谱及光电子能谱研究

本文采用溶液化学的方法,在锂离子电池正极材料LiMn2O4上包覆一层金属氢氧化物前驱体,再通过热处理得到稳定的金属氧化物包覆层。傅立叶红外光谱(FIIR)的研究表明,当包覆LiMn2O4中外来金属原子的实际百分比小于1.11%时,不能探测到包覆层红外信号。X射线光电子能谱(XPS)的研究表明,表面包覆层中Al或Mg的存在不仅削弱Mn-O键的作用,而且给体系引入过多的正电荷,导致Mn(2p)结合能的降低。包覆层中的Al2O3和MgO均在加热过程中向LiMn2O4体相中扩散;而包覆层中的SnO2在焙烧后并未进入LiMn2O4晶格内,而是附着于其表面。

A simulation study of field plate termination in Ga_2O_3 Schottky barrier diodes

In this work, the field plate termination is studied for Ga_2O_3 Schottky barrier diodes(SBDs) by simulation. The influence of field plate overlap, dielectric material and thickness on the termination electric field distribution are demonstrated.It is found that the optimal thickness increases with reverse bias increasing for all the three dielectrics of SiO_2, Al_2 O_3, and HfO_2. As the thickness increases, the maximum electric field intensity decreases in SiO_2 and Al_2O_3, but increases in HfO_2.Furthermore, it is found that SiO_2 and HfO_2 are suitable for the 600 V rate Ga_2O_3 SBD, and Al_2O_3 is suitable for both600 V and 1200 V rate Ga_2O_3 SBD. In addition, the comparison of Ga_2O_3 SBDs between the SiC and GaN counterpart reveals that for Ga_2O_3, the breakdown voltage bottleneck is the dielectric. While, for SiC and GaN, the bottleneck is mainly the semiconductor itself.

Discharge and flow characterizations of the double-side sliding discharge plasma actuator

We investigate the discharge and flow characterizations of a double-side siding discharge plasma actuator driven by different polarities of direct current(DC) voltage. The discharge tests show that sliding discharge and extended discharge are filamentary discharge. The irregular current pulse of sliding discharge fluctuates obviously in the first half cycle,ultimately expands the discharge channel. The instantaneous power and average power consumptions of sliding discharge are larger than those of the extended discharge and dielectric barrier discharge(DBD). The flow characteristics measured by a high-frequency particle-image-velocimetry system together with high-speed schlieren technology show that the opposite jet at the bias DC electrode is induced by sliding discharge, which causes a bulge structure in the discharge channel.The bias DC electrode can deflect the direction of the induced jet, then modifying the properties of the boundary layer.Extended discharge can accelerate the velocity of the starting vortex, improving the horizontal velocity profile by 203%.The momentum growth caused by extended discharge has the largest peak value and the fastest growth rate, compared with sliding discharge and DBD. However, the momentum growth of sliding discharge lasts longer in the whole pulsed cycle,indicating that sliding discharge can also inject more momentum.     

Influence of ambient pressure on the performance of an arc discharge plasma actuator

The arc discharge plasma actuator (ADPA) has wide application prospects in high‐speed flow control because of its local heating effect and strong disturbance. In this paper, the influence of ambient pressure, which ranges from 3 to 20 kPa, on the performance of a two‐electrode ADPA is investigated by a schlieren system. The duration of the arc heated region, as well as its area, is extracted by image processing. As the ambient pressure increases, different flow field evolutions occur. The duration of the ADPA heated region increases with the ambient pressure. The maximum duration reaches 1185.3 µs at 20 kPa. The velocity of the discharge‐induced blast shock wave first decreases gradually and then remains at 345 m/s for all air pressures. The blast shock wave has a higher velocity at lower pressures when it is freshly produced. A maximum blast shock wave velocity of 582 m/s is observed at the pressure of 7 kPa. The arc heated region is not sensitive to ambient pressure, but the deposited energy from the arc increases when the pressure increases.     

Fluorescence spectra of colloidal self-assembled CdSe nano-wire on substrate of porous Al_2O_3/Au nanoparticles

We present a self-assembly method to prepare array nano-wires of colloidal CdSe quantum dots on a substrate of porous Al_2 O_3 film modified by gold nanoparticles. The photoluminescence(PL) spectra of nanowires are in situ measured by using a scanning near-field optical microscopy(SNOM) probe tip with 100-nm aperture on the scanning near-field optical microscope. The results show that the binding sites from the edge of porous Al_2 O_3 nanopores are combined with the carboxyl of CdSe quantum dots' surface to form an array of CdSe nanowires in the process of losing background solvent because of the gold nanoparticles filling the nano-holes of porous Al_2 O_3 film. Compared with the area of nonself-assembled nano-wire, the fluorescence on the Al_2 O_3/Au/CdSe interface is significantly enhanced in the self-assembly nano-wire regions due to the electron transfer conductor effect of the gold nanoparticles' surface. In addition, its full width at half maximum(FWHM) is also obviously widened. The method of enhancing fluorescence and energy transfer can widely be applied to photodetector, photocatalysis, optical display, optical sensing, and biomedical imaging, and so on.     

Coupling-induced spectral splitting for plasmonic sensing with ultra-high figure of merit

We investigate a kind of spectral splitting effect in a plasmonic multilayer system, which consists of stacked Al_2 O_3 and SiO_2 layers, a thin metal film, and a dielectric prism substrate. The results illustrate that an obvious peak appears in the center of the surface plasmon resonance(SPR)-induced reflection spectral dip in the structure with the SiO_2/Al_2 O_3/SiO_2 layers. This spectral splitting response can be regarded as an electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) like effect,which is attributed to the coupling and interference between the SPR on the metal film and guided-mode resonance(GMR)in the Al_2 O_3 layer. The theoretical calculations agree well with the numerical simulations. It is also found that the reflection spectrum will be further split by the introduction of another Al_2 O_3 layer into the multilayer structure. The reintroduced GMR in the Al_2 O_3 layer changes the coupling and interference process between the SPR and GMR field, giving rise to the generation of ultra-narrow reflection dip. Especially, the spectral splitting can facilitate the realization of plasmonic sensors with ultra-high figure of merit(583), which is about 5 times larger than that of traditional SPR sensors. These results will provide a new avenue to the light field manipulation and optical functionalities, especially biochemical and environmental sensing.     

溅射Al对AlN的“润湿”与钎焊

由于润湿性不佳, 难以实现金属钎料对陶瓷的无过渡层直接钎焊, 本文在研究了溅射Al薄膜对AlN的“润湿”作用的基础上, 通过磁控溅射的方法在AlN表面沉积Al基薄膜作为钎料, 在真空条件下对AlN陶瓷进行了直接钎焊. 采用高景深光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜和X射线能量分散谱表征了钎焊接头和剪切断口的组织及形貌. 结果表明, 高能量溅射Al粒子对AlN的撞击可以形成只有850 ℃以上高温才可获得的Al-N化学键, 实现Al对AlN的“润湿”, 使Al基薄膜钎料能够在较低的温度(≥ 510 ℃)对AlN直接钎焊. 此方法获得的Al/AlN接头的剪切强度达到104 MPa, 含3.8 at.% Cu的Al合金钎料接头强度可进一步提高到165 MPa, 它们的剪切断裂都产生于钎缝金属之中; 增加钎料中的Cu含量至9.1 at.%后, Cu在钎缝与陶瓷界面的偏聚使接头的剪切强度降低为95 MPa. Al-20 at.% Ge合金可以将钎焊温度降低至510 ℃, 但Ge在钎缝与陶瓷界面的偏聚使接头在48 MPa发生断裂.     

Dynamic evolution of vortex structures induced by tri-electrode plasma actuator

Plasma flow control is a new type of active flow control approach based on plasma pneumatic actuation.Dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) actuators have become a focus of international aerodynamic research.However,the practical applications of typical DBDs are largely restricted due to their limited discharge area and low relative-induced velocity.The further improvement of performance will be beneficial for engineering applications.In this paper,high-speed schlieren and high-speed particle image velocimetry(PIV) are employed to study the flow field induced by three kinds of plasma actuations in a static atmosphere,and the differences in induced flow field structure among typical DBD,extended DBD(EX-DBD),and tri-electrode sliding discharge(TED) are compared.The analyzing of the dynamic evolution of the maximum horizontal velocity over time,the velocity profile at a fixed horizontal position,and the momentum and body force in a control volume reveals that the induced velocity peak value and profile velocity height of EX-DBD are higher than those of the other two types of actuation,suggesting that EX-DBD actuation has the strongest temporal aerodynamic effect among the three types of actuations.The TED actuation not only can enlarge the plasma extension but also has the longest duration in the entire pulsed period and the greatest influence on the height and width of the airflow near the wall surface.Thus,the TED actuation has the ability to continuously influencing a larger three-dimensional space above the surface of the nlasma actuator.
