Effect of Particle Size and Phase Composition of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles on the Photocatalytic Properties

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles were prepared by the oxidation of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄) in a diffusion flame reactor. The average diameter of particles was 15–30 nm and mass fraction of anatase ranged from 40% to 80%. Effects of particle size and phase composition of those TiO₂ nanoparticles on photocatalytic properties such as decomposition of methylene blue, bacteria and ammonia gas were investigated. The degree of decomposition of methylene blue by the TiO₂ nanoparticles under the illumination of the black light was directly proportional to the anatase mass fraction, but inversely to the particle size. The decomposition of bacteria and ammonia gas by the TiO₂ nanoparticles under the illumination of the fluorescent light showed the same trend as in the case of the methylene blue.

沉积压力对氢化非晶硅薄膜特性的影响

采用等离子增强化学气相沉积(PECVD)系统,以乙硅烷和氢气为气源,普通钠钙玻璃为衬底制备了氢化非晶硅(a-Si∶H)薄膜,研究了沉积压力对非晶硅薄膜的沉积速率、光学带隙以及结构因子的影响。采用台阶仪、紫外可见分光光度计、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪和扫描电子显微镜等手段分别表征了a-Si∶H薄膜的沉积速率,光学带隙、结构因子和表面形貌。结果表明： 随着沉积压力的增加,沉积速率呈现先上升后下降的趋势,光学带隙不断下降。当沉积压力小于210 Pa时,以SiH键存在的H原子较多,而以SiH₂或SiH₃等形式存在的H较少; 当沉积压力大于210 Pa时,以SiH₂,(SiH₂)_n或SiH₃等形式存在的H较多。通过结构因子的计算,发现沉积压力在110～210 Pa的范围内沉积的薄膜质量较好。

Mechanical Reinforcement and Piezoelectric Properties of PZT Ceramics Embedded with Nano-Crystalline

The double-scale lead zirconate titanate （PZT） piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by the solid state processing with PZT nano-crystalline and micro-powder. The microstructures, electrical and mechanical properties of the double-scale PZT are investigated. All the sintered ceramics exhibit a single perovskite structure and the grain size of the dou ble-scale PZT reduces due to the incorporation of PZT nano-crystalline. Compared to normal PZT, the mechanical properties increase significantly and the piezoelectric properties decrease slightly. Mechanisms responsible for the reinforcement of the double-scale PZT are discussed.     

Silicon Dioxide Coating Deposited by PDPs on PET Films and Influence on Oxygen Transmission Rate

A silicon dioxide film is deposited on the polyethyleneterephtMate （PET） by a penning discharge plasma source at ambient temperature in a high vacuum chamber. Hexamethyldisiloxane and oxygen are adopted as precursor and reactive reagent to grow a nano-scale silicon dioxide layer on polymer surfaces. For the chemical structure analysis X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is performed to demonstrate the content of Si, 0 and C elements. It is noticed that a higher silicon concentration is contained if Ar plasma is used for pretreatment. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that a micro-crystal silicon dioxide is formed by peak patterns at 25,84° and 21.8°. The barrier properties examined by oxygen transmission rate show that the permeation parameter of the 12-μm-thick PET film drastically decreases from 135 cc/m^2 per day for the control one to O. 713 cc/m^2 per day for the as-deposited one after Ar plasma treatment. The surface morphology related to the barrier properties of SiOx-coated polymers os also investigated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.

It is assumed that the revealed species of the corresponding dose dependences of some characteristics are caused by the radiation-stimulated change in the structure of the substance. The effect of large doses is considered.     

相态对冰水混合云微观特性反演的影响研究

当云层的温度在－40℃~0℃之间时, 云层中会存在冰和水两种相态的云滴, 其散射特性与纯水云以及纯冰云特性有较大差异, 因此遥感反演混合相云层的微观和宏观物理特性具有重要的意义。本文采用冰水双层球模型模拟了冰水混合云中的云滴, 利用Mie理论计算了纯水、纯冰和冰水颗粒的单次散射特性, 分析了单次散射相函数, 不对称因子, 单次散射反照率等随着有效半径、相态、内外半径比等的变化特性。利用离散纵标法(DISORT)计算了水云和冰云对0.75 μm、2.16 μm和3.3 μm的双向反射函数, 讨论了利用纯水滴和纯冰滴反演冰水混合云滴的误差。分析结果表明, 利用0.75 μm和2.16 μm的太阳光反演冰水混合云的光学厚度和有效半径时, 光学厚度误差较大, 有效半径误差较小; 结合0.75 μm和3.3 μm的太阳光反演冰水混合云的光学厚度和有效半径时, 光学厚度误差较小, 有效半径误差较大, 其会高估其有效半径; 另外结合0.75 μm和3.3 μm这两个波长的反射函数反演冰水云的冰水混合比更为有效。

The Influence of the Cobalt Content on the Strength Properties of Tungsten Carbide Ceramics under Dynamic Loads

Based on the registration and analysis of the full wave profiles, the Hugoniot elastic limit and spall strength of ceramics based on tungsten carbide with different cobalt content are measured. We also study the influence of the cobalt content on the mechanical characteristics of tungsten carbide such as hardness, fracture strength, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and sound velocity. It is shown that in the process of spalling, the failure stresses grow and the dynamic elastic limit decreases almost linearly within the scatter of their values with growing cobalt content; moreover, the value of the Hugoniot elastic limit is abruptly practically halved as the cobalt content grows from 0 to 2 wt %.

Dielectric Properties and Lattice Distortion in Rhombohedral Phase Region and Phase Coexistence Region of PZT Ceramics

In this paper, the relation between the dielectric properties and the lattice distortion in the phase coexistence region is discussed using a phase statistical distribution model, and in the rhombohedral phase region the two connection equations on the dielectric properties and the lattice distortion are established. Particularly, the relation between the dielectric properties and the lattice distortion is investigated in the phase coexistence region of PZT ceramics, and the fitting value of the volume fraction of the tetragonal phase V_T to composition x in the equation is determined. Further, the fitting results are well consistent with the related experimental data. It involves more profound physical process than relation between the dielectric properties and composition x.     

The Influence of Particles Interaction in Low-Temperature Plasma on its Composition and Optical Properties

A model theory of the influence of particles interaction in plasma on its composition and optical properties is developed. The interaction of charged particles in plasma reduces the ionization energy of atoms and ions. The action of internal microfields in plasma on atoms and ions reduces the statistical weight of electron levels which affects the populations of excited states. The latter effect leads to an effective cutoff of partition functions and determines the behaviour of optical properties of plasma (of absorption coefficient and emissivity) at increased number densities of charged particles. The formulas are obtained for calculation of the continuous and discrete spectrum in plasma taking into account the particles interaction. A non-monotonic dependence of optical plasma density upon number density of charged particles is quantitatively explained. A satisfactory agreement is obtained with a large number of experimental data some of which were considered to be contradictory. The method developed can be used for calculations in the field of atomic spectroscopy and low-temperature plasma physics including increased densities of charged particles. The use of the formulas obtained in plasma diagnostics will enable one to avoid considerable errors.
