Influences of Thalliation on the Morphology and Critical Temperature of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 Thin Films

Tl2Ba2CaCu2Ox(Tl-2212) thin films were prepared by the two-step technique.A precursor film was first prepared by the pulsed laser deposition method,and then experienced the incorporation of thalliation in a one-step or two-step annealing process.The experimental results show that the two-step annealing process produces dense and smooth films,and that the one-step annealing process produces a high critical temperature film of 101K,but the transition width is wide.Precursor films with homogeneous Ba2Ca1.3Cu2.1Ox composition are essential for producing high-quality Tl-2212 films.     

Identical Superdeformed Bands in ^171Ta and ^173Re

The rotational band built on the i13/2 proton [660,1/2] Nilsson state in ^173Re is proven to be identical to that in ^171Ta.The close similarity of the two bands in ^171Ta and ^173Re suggests that the ^173Re nucleus with the odd proton based on the i13/2 [660,1/2] Nilsson state may be triaxially superdeformed.     

Equation of State of Dense Liquid Nitrogen in the Region of the Dissociative Phase Transition

We have measured the equation of state for liquid nitrogen compressed dynamically to a pressure of 10-60 GPa by employing a two-stage light-gas gun.The data show a continuous phase transition above the shock pressure of 33GPa,as indicated previously by shock wave experiments.A theoretical model has been derived to examine the experimental data by inducing a molecular dissociative fraction.According to theoretical and experimental date the phase transition was thought to be a molecular dissociative phase transition.     

Hydrogenation Properties of Zr Films Under Various Conditions of Hydrogen Plasma

The hydrogenation properties of Zr samples with and without an Ni overlayer under various plasma conditions were investigated by means of non-Rutherford backscattering and elastic recoil detection analysis.The theoretical maximum hydrogen capacity,66.7 at%,could be achieved at a hydrogen absolute pressure of-2Pa and a substrate temperature of-393K for a plasma irradiation of only 10min;this was significantly greater than that for gas hydrogenation under the same hydrogen pressure and substrate temperature.It was also found that the C and O contamination on the sample surface strongly influences the hydrogenation,and that the maximum equilibrium hydrogen content drops dramatically with the increasing total contamination.In addition,the influence of the Ni overlayer on the plasma hydrogenation is discussed.

Structural Evolution of Nanostructured γ—Ni—28Fe Alloy Investigated by Using the Internal Friction Technique

The structural evolution of nanostructured γ-Ni-28Fe alloy(n-Ni-Fe)(grain size d-30nm),synthesized by the mechno-chemical method,was investigated by using the internal friction technique combined with differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) in the temperature range from 300K to 670K.An internal friction peak with typical characteristics of the first-order phase transition was observed in the vicinity of 620K,which corresponds to a broad exothermic process revealed by using DSC.Theses results can be explained as the structural changes from the disordering to the ordering transition in the n-Ni-Fe sample.

Optical Properties of ZnFe2O4—SiO2 Granular Films Prepared by Radio—Frequency Magnetron Sputtering

We report on the optical properties of ZnFe2O4-SiO2 granular films prepared on quartz substrates by the radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method.Post-annealing was performed at different temperatures under flow oxygen atmosphere.The morphology and Structures of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray different line types in the optical absorption curves of ZnFe2O4-SiO2 granular films.The critical transition of line types occurs when ZnFe2O4 changes from amorphous to crystalline,and the transition temperature increases with the increasing content of ZnFe2O4.There is an obvious blueshift of the optical absorption edge of the granular films with the decreasing annealing temperature.     

Sound Field Calculations of Elliptical Pistons by the Superposition of Two—Dimensional Gaussian Beams

We present an alternative approach to calculate the sound field of ultrasonic transducers.The distribution function of sources is expanded into the superposition of a series of two-dimensional Gaussian functions.The corresponding radiated sound field is expressed as the superposition of these two-dimensional Gaussian beams and is then reduced to the computation of these simple functions.This treatment does not require the condition that the shape of the source is of circular axial symmetry.A numerical example is presented for the uniform elliptical piston transducer and this is in good agreement with the results given by complicated computation.
