Effects of Coverage,Water, and Defects on Catechol/TiO2 Interface

Catechol adsorbed on TiO₂ is one of the simplest models to explore the relevant properties of dye-sensitized solar cells. However, the effects of water and defects on the electronic levels and the excitonic properties of the catechol/TiO₂ interface have been rarely explored. Here, we investigate four catechol/TiO₂ interfaces aiming to study the influence of coverage, water, and defects on the electronic levels and the excitonic properties of the catechol/TiO₂ interface through the first-principles many-body Green's function theory. We find that the adsorption of catechol on the rutile (110) surface increases the energies of both the TiO₂ valence band maximum and conduction band minimum by approximately 0.7 eV. The increasing coverage and the presence of water can reduce the optical absorption of charge-transfer excitons with maximum oscillator strength. Regarding the reduced hydroxylated TiO₂ substrate, the conduction band minimum decreases greatly, resulting in a sub-bandgap of 2.51 eV. The exciton distributions in the four investigated interfaces can spread across several unit cells, especially for the hydroxylated TiO₂ substrate. Although the hydroxylated TiO₂ substrate leads to a lower open-circuit voltage, it may increase the separation between photogenerated electrons and holes and may therefore be beneficial for improving the photovoltaic efficiency by controlling its concentration. Our results may provide guidance for the design of highly efficient solar cells in future.

点、线接触真实粗糙表面的弹流润滑研究

本文给出了点、线接触的真实粗糙表面的微弹流数值解。在给定随机粗糙表面样本后,求解大小不同的载荷和粗糙的弹流问题。从计算结果可以看出,由于Reynolds方程中速度项的作用,在表面对应粗糙的位置处引起了压力变化,从而因其产生的弹性变形使粗糙变得平滑。对此光滑表面解可以看出,因粗糙引起的压力和膜厚的变化在光滑解附近波动。载荷较大时,压力分节接近固体接触情况。     

铸铁材料在边界润滑条件下形成薄片状磨屑的塑性流动机制

本文在铸铁材料油润滑线接触滑动磨损状态研究的基础上,对边界润滑区典型的薄片状磨屑之形成过程进行了考察。通过对磨损表面的几何形貌、磨屑的形态和内部显微组织变化的分析,提出了薄片状磨屑的塑性流动形成机制。作者认为,薄片状磨屑的形成是磨损表面材料在局部应力和摩擦热的作用下以3种方式发生塑性流动的结果:当摩擦方向垂直于磨削加工条纹时为单侧塑性流动;当摩擦方向平行于磨削加工条纹时为双侧塑性流动;而在峰顶平台(磨削加工粗糙条纹磨合后形成的微平台)较大且载荷较高时,则为平台上的材料沿着摩擦方向向前挤压流动。

Structure and microtribological characteristics of laser-arc deposited TiB2 thin film

TiB2 thin film was deposited by laser-arc deposition method on the surface of single crystalline silicon. The morphology, composition, structure and microtribological properties of the film were studied by using XPS, XRD and atomic force/friction force microscope (AFM/FFM). The results show that TiB2 (100) preferred growth on the Si(100)substrate, TiB2(001) preferred growth on the Si(111) substrate. The TiB2 thin film was composed of TiB2 and a small amount of TiO2. The friction coefficient of TiB2 film on substrates Si (100) and Si(111) in microtribological process were 0.087 and 0.073,respectively. TiB2 thin film displayed distinct ability of anti-scratch and wear-resistance.     

金属无润滑磨损过程的原位观察与研究

作者借助于新研制的可以直接观察磨损动态过程的试验装置和扫描电镜原位观察了无润滑条件下金属滑动表面的磨损特征与变化,发现摩擦表面可以划分为真实接触区和过渡磨损区,两者的磨损机理不同,真实接触区发生的是粘着磨损,而且磨粒沿摩擦力方向有明显增大的趋势;随着真实接触区的磨损,过渡磨损区可以逐渐转变为真实接触区,而且由于磨粒增多,非磨损区也可以逐渐转变为过渡磨损区。对磨损过程中摩擦力变化的测试结果表明,当磨损表面发生粘着时的粘着力与Bowden和Tabor粘着理论计算值十分接近。     

Anti-electroviscous effect of near-surface 5CB liquid crystal and its boundary lubrication property

The rheological properties of the near-surface 5CB (4-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl) liquid crystal (LC) under an external electric field (EEF) are investigated using a dynamic quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The real-time film-forming process and shearing response of the EEF-induced absorbed LC liquid are studied. The results indicate that the EEF-induced adsorbed LC is composed of a bulk liquid layer and a near-surface boundary layer. Within the boundary layer, the nematic 5CB LC presents an anti-electroviscous effect which may be due to the EEF-induced ordered structure. According to the estimation from QCM measurements, this near-surface layer is about 100 nm thick under certain electric strength and is irreversible even after the EEF is removed. Based on a QCM model, the near-surface LC layer presents a decreased and irreversible viscosity as the EEF voltage increases against the reversible electro-viscous effect of the bulk 5CB liquid crystal measured by rheometer and Raman spectrum measurements. The anti-electroviscous effect of the near-surface 5CB layer is also proved by an improved boundary lubrication property tested on a tribometer. The coefficient of friction of 5CB LC after a preliminary induction of EEF is the lowest one compared to those without EEF and during the application of EEF. The unique anti-electroviscous property of near-surface 5CB LC revealed in this article suggests a potential method to actively reduce shear resistance in boundary lubrication and in microfluidics.
