D-D结合型金刚石聚晶的高压合成研究

 为了探索功能金刚石聚晶的高压合成，使其具有优异的透红外和散热性能，我们采取了提高合成压力、温度和尽量减少结合剂的办法进行试验。首先探索如何使合成的金刚石聚晶具有D-D型结合，然后尽量减少结合剂，以合成出高密度的D-D型金刚石聚晶。为了尽量减少结合剂含量，不用粉末混合法，而是分别采用7~14 μm和63~80 μm粒度的金刚石为原料，与纯Ni或Ni₇₀Mn₂₅Co₅合金为基底积层组装，通过高温高压下触媒金属向金刚石晶粒间渗透进行烧结生长。在6.3 GPa的压力和1 440~1 650 ℃的不同温度下分别保持3~40 min。所得到的金刚石聚晶在触媒金属渗透得充分的区域形成了D-D结合型结构，而没有发现碳化物生成及金刚石表面石墨化等现象。     

合成金刚石与合成体系之关系

 通过各种材料的试验和压机设备因素的测定，总结了金刚石生长过程的特性：金刚石晶体是在石墨（G）-触媒（Me）界面上生长；因电阻R_(G)>R_(Me)、温度T_(G)>T_(Me)以及与外界热交换等原因，使合成腔内产生压力、温度梯度，成为金刚石生长之驱动力。梯度过大过小对金刚石生长均不利；金刚石晶体在G-Me界面两侧是非对称性生长；每个晶粒表面有一特殊结构约20 μm左右厚的金属薄膜，它起到运载碳源和催化的双重作用。要合成粗粒高强金刚石，需要有一个稳定的合成体系。本文分析了该体系状态的性质及稳定的必要性与稳定的具体方法。     

高温高压下B4C合成金刚石的研究

 压力为5.7~6.0 GPa及1 370~1 500 ℃温度范围内，B₄C在Ni₇₀Mn₂₅Co₅系统中，高压相变为金刚石。合成的金刚石为深黑色，含硼量大于1wt%。粒度为20 μm左右，晶形多为立方体与八面体的各种聚形。反应后的金属触媒中，存在Ni₂B等硼化物；非金属残留物中，存在B₁₃C₂等高硼碳化物。     

高温高压触媒法金刚石生长的热力学分析

 利用热力学中经典的ΔG<0判定法,探讨了Fe基触媒合成金刚石晶体生长中的碳源问题,在计算中考虑了各物相的体积随温度和压力的变化。结果表明：在金刚石形成之前,就有大量Fe₃C形成,而在触媒法合成金刚石的温度和压力范围内,Fe₃C→C(金刚石)+3γ-Fe反应自由能和石墨→金刚石相变自由能均为负值,但前者比后者的绝对值更大,这说明前者更容易发生。因此,从热力学角度看,Fe₃C的形成降低了石墨转变为金刚石所要越过的势垒,使用Fe基触媒合成金刚石单晶的生长来源于Fe₃C的分解而不是石墨的直接转化。同时推导出在1200 K以上石墨-金刚石的平衡p-T关系：p_eq(GPa)=1.036+0.00236T (K),与F.P.Bundy的平衡线非常接近,证明了本热力学计算方法的可行性。     

超临界流体触媒作用下石墨-金刚石转变

 研究了超临界流体CO₂在石墨-金刚石转变中的触媒作用。实验中，采用Ag₂O作为流体触媒的先驱材料，在7.7 GPa压力下，Ag₂O在1 200 ℃分解成Ag和O₂，O₂与石墨套管在高温高压下反应形成CO₂超临界流体。研究结果表明，在7.7 GPa和1 500 ℃以上温度条件下，石墨在CO₂流体触媒的作用下可转变为金刚石晶体，在1 500～1 700 ℃温度范围内合成出的金刚石具有完好的八面体形貌，与天然金刚石的生长特征非常相似。     

人造金刚石合成中黑色低磁金刚石的研究

 通过对合成金刚石的原材料和合成产物——石墨、Ni₇₀Mn₂₅Co₅触媒、普通人造金刚石、黑色人造金刚石、NiMnCoC熔体的磁化率测试，以及对黑色人造金刚石和普通人造金刚石破碎断面扫描电镜的对比分析，认为黑色人造金刚石形成低磁性的原因是由于合成过程中温度偏高、压力偏低，生长的金刚石质量差、裂纹多。晶体内夹杂了很多石墨与触媒包裹体，同时金刚石表面与金刚石晶体内的触媒包裹体之间形成贯穿性的裂纹。在金刚石化学提纯处理过程中，金刚石晶体内的铁磁性触媒包裹体杂质被通过裂纹进入的酸除去。因而在检测金刚石磁性时，黑色金刚石的磁性很小，呈弱磁性。     

高压下高温超导材料YBa2Cu3O7的电子结构

 本文选用拟合能带的Harrison参数构造紧束缚哈密顿矩阵，采取Recursion方法计算了YBa₂Cu₃O₇晶体在常压下与9 GPa高压下（此时晶格常数压缩3%）的电子结构。讨论了高压对于电子结构的影响。给出了高压下费米面移动，能带展宽和各晶位原子价变化的定量结果。     

从碳化硅和铁体系合成金刚石

 为了探明从SiC生成金刚石这一过程中触媒作用的机理，有必要调查SiC加不同金属在高压高温下的行为。在本工作中，以16重量比混合的SiC和铁粉经5.4~6.0 GPa的高压力和1 300~1 500 ℃的高温处理20 min后，样品的X射线衍射分析表明：所有实验条件下SiC都发生了分解，并分别生成了Fe₃Si和Fe₃C；温度越高，SiC分解得越彻底，在温度高于1 375 ℃的样品中，伴随Fe₃C减少，有金刚石和石墨明显析出。扫描电镜观察表明：6.0 GPa、1 500 ℃下所得的金刚石晶体具有完整的八面体晶形，平均粒度约50 μm。

 本文综合我们从NH₃F（氟化胺）、HCCl₃（氯仿）、HCBr₃（溴仿）、S₈（硫）和C₃N₆H₆（三聚氰胺）等分子晶体获得的高压Raman光谱数据，讨论了分子晶体Raman光谱的谱带强度，频率位移，晶场劈裂和Grüneisen常数等对压力的依赖关系。总结了分子晶体压致结构相变的光谱证据和高压新相结构确定的几种方法。     

天然金刚石形成透明硼皮金刚石的研究

 本文采用离子注入法，对天然金刚石表面进行少量渗硼，形成透明硼皮金刚石。经NP-1型X光电子能谱仪（XPS）表面测试，证明注入硼后的金刚石表面硼原子和碳原子形成了结合键。又经热失重分析（TGA）表明，用B₂O₃和硼作离子源进行注入，均能使金刚石的抗氧化温度得到提高，但用硼注入得到的“硼皮”金刚石抗氧化性更好些。用四种不同能量进行注硼时，都能使金刚石的抗氧化性得到几乎相同程度的提高，与注入的深度无关。     

Hetero-Epitaxial Diamond Single Crystal Growth on Surface of cBN Single Crystals at High Pressure and High Temperature

We report a new diamond synthesis process in which cubic boron nitride single crystals are used as seeds, FesoNi20 alloy powder is used as catalyst/solvent and natural flake-like graphite is used as the carbon source. The samples are investigated using laser Raman spectra and x-ray diffraction （XRD）. Morphology of the sample is observed by a scanning electron microscope （SEM）. Based on the measurement results, we conclude that diamond single crystals have grown on the cBN crystal seeds under the conditions of high temperature 1230℃ and high pressure 4.8 GPa. This work provides an original method for synthesis of high quality hereto-semiconductor with cBN and diamond single crystals, and paves the way for future development.     

A new study on the catalytic mechanism of Fe-based alloys in diamond formation by Mössbauer spectroscopy

M?ssbauer spectroscopy has been used to systemically study the catalytic mechanism of Fe-based alloys in diamond formation at high temperature–high pressure (HTHP) for the first time. M?ssbauer spectra reveal the magnetic state of the 3d electrons of a Fe atom in the Fe-based alloy catalyst during diamond formation at HTHP. During carburization at lower temperatures than that required for diamond formation and diamond formation in the diamond-stability region using Fe-based alloys as a catalyst, both the quadrupole splitting QS and the isomer shift IS change from negative to positive, especially reaching a state in which they are zero. It was indicated that the state of the 3d-shell electrons of the iron atom changes greatly during carburization and diamond formation and that the incomplete 3d sub-bands of Fe atoms in the catalyst alloys could be filled up in proper order by electrons of interstitial carbon atoms. During diamond formation, the unpaired 3d-shell electrons of an iron atom in the Fe-based alloy absorb and interact with 2P_z electrons of the carbon atoms. There exist a Fe–C bonding and an electron charge transfer stage. The 2P_z electrons of the carbon atoms could be dragged into the metal atoms in the catalyst alloy and would make a transition of triangular (sp²π) hybridization of valence electrons to tetrahedral (sp³) hybridization of valence electrons (a transition of sp²π bonds of graphite to sp³ bonds of diamond), resulting in a transition of graphite structure to diamond. Although the conclusion of this study is strictly applicable only to Fe-based alloy catalysts, it could be considered more general because of the chemical similarities between the transition elements used as solvent catalysts for diamond synthesis.

Correlative atomic scale characterisation of secondary carbides in M50 bearing steel

Correlative atom probe tomography (APT) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to characterise the microstructure and chemistry of carbide precipitation in M50 bearing steel. This is a prerequisite in establishing relationships between the microstructure and hydrogen embrittlement (HE) resistance. Secondary carbides are the focus of this study, as they play a major role in improving HE-resistance. Secondary carbides are observed in APT, with compositions close to M₄C_3, M₂C and M₃C. Correlative TEM measured orientation relationships between the martensite matrix and carbides, enabling the confirmation of M₃C cementite precipitates in the corresponding APT reconstruction. Additionally, other precipitates observed in TEM were correlated to the M₂C carbides in APT data. The M₄C₃ carbides are found to have a significantly lower volume fraction than the M₂C carbides.     

Structural, elastic and electronic properties and formation energies for hexagonal (W0.5Al0.5)C in comparison with binary carbides WC and Al4C3 from first-principles calculations

First principle calculations have been performed with the purpose to understand the peculiarities of the structural, elastic parameters and electronic properties and interatomic bonding for novel hexagonal carbide (W_0.5Al_0.5)C in comparison with binary phases WC and Al₄C₃. The geometries of all phases were optimized and their structural, elastic parameters and theoretical density were established. Besides, we have evaluated the formation energies (E_form) of W_0.5Al_0.5C for different possible preparation routes (namely for the reactions with the participation of simple substances (metallic W, Al and graphite, binary W or Al carbides and metallic Al and W, or binary W and Al carbides). The results show that the synthesis of the ternary carbide from simple substances is more favorable in comparison with the reactions with participation of W and Al carbides. Moreover, band structures, total and partial densities of states were obtained and analyzed systematically for (W_0.5Al_0.5)C, WC and Al₄C₃ phases in comparison with available theoretical and experimental data. The bonding picture in W_0.5Al_0.5C was described as a mixture of metallic, ionic and covalent contributions with the high anisotropy for the covalent W-C and Al-C bonds, where p-p like Al-C bonds become weaker than p-d like W-C bonds.

 本实验选用TiH₂及其它微量元素做粘结剂，在DS-029B型六面顶压机上烧结人造金刚石与硬质合金复合材料。实验中，采取TiH₂脱氢与金刚石净化同时进行的工艺，在高真空和一定温度下脱氢，得到高活性的新鲜钛，使其具有更强的粘结作用，以获得高磨耗比的金刚石复合材料。实验中比较了不同净化温度对磨耗比的影响；同一种粘结剂不同含量与磨耗比之间的关系；同时还测试了其耐热性及时间极限。结果表明，这种复合材料在850 ℃下，加热3 min，磨耗比没有明显改变。     

Study of the Microstructure and Phase-Composition of a WC-Alloy with a Hadfield Steel Binder

The phase composition and structure of a tungsten carbide alloy with a Hadfield steel binder are studied using metallography, x-ray diffraction analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that tungsten carbide is dissolved in the binder during sintering. This gives rise to a nonuniform distribution of the alloying additions in the -solid solution, which results in precipitation of complex carbides of the (W, Fe) _x C type having different crystal-lattice parameters. The volume fraction of these carbides is as high as 9–10%.     

N离子注入对金刚石膜场发射特性的影响

不同剂量的N离子被注入到化学气相沉积金刚石膜内，研究了表面结构及场发射特性的变化.Raman谱和x射线光电子能谱分析表明，N离子的注入破坏了金刚石膜表面原有的sp3结构，并在膜内形成大量的sp2 C—C 和sp2 C—N 键.样品的场发射测试显示N离子的注入显著提高了金刚石膜场发射特性，膜的场发射阈值电场从注入前的18 V/μm下降到注入后的4 V/μm.金刚石膜场发射特性的提高归因于N离子注入后膜内sp2 C键含量的增加和体内缺陷带的形成，这些变化能改变膜的表面功函数，提高Feimi能级，降低电子隧穿表面的能量势垒. 关键词： 场致电子发射 N离子注入 金刚石膜 热丝化学气相沉积
