Synthesis of magnetoresistive La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 nanoparticles by an improved chemical coprecipitation method

La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ nanoparticles were prepared by a simple chemical coprecipitation route. Structural, magnetoresistance (MR), and magnetic properties were investigated. Rietveld refinement of X-ray powder diffraction result shows that the sample is single-phase with the space group of R3¯C. The result of field-emission scanning electronic microscopy shows that most of the grain sizes are distributed from 50 to 200 nm. The composition determined by energy-dispersive spectroscopy is the stoichiometry of La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃. The ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition is sharp with Curie temperature T_C=367 K, which further confirms that the sample is single-phase. The steep change in MR at low fields is attributed to the alignment of the magnetization, while the high-field MR is due to the grain boundary effect.     

Thermal optics distortion of face pump slab lasers with two pump arrangements

Two pump arrangements, which are the slow axis and the fast axis of LD stacks parallel to the length direction of the slab, are simulated. From the results the optical intensity along the width of the slab is Gaussian and super-Gaussian distribution, respectively. Then based on heat conduction equation and conductively cooling boundary condition, the calculation of the distribution of absorbed pump power, temperature and thermal stress with the tool of finite element analyses is performed. From these results we numerically calculate the thermal focusing in zigzag and perpendicular zigzag planes using the ray tracing method running at low and high repetition rates. It is found that the temperature distribution along width has a significant impact on the thermal stress and thermal optics distortion, especially running at high repetition rate or high average power. Finally, the conclusion was that the pump arrangement with the fast axis of LD stacks parallel to the length direction of the slab is superior to the slow axis of LD stacks parallel to the length direction of the slab in decreasing thermal lens effect and obtaining high beam quality.

Terahertz,X-ray and neutron computed tomography of an Eighteenth Dynasty Egyptian sealed pottery

An Eighteenth Dynasty Egyptian sealed pottery stored at the Museum of Aquitaine (Bordeaux, France) has been investigated using terahertz radiation, X-rays and neutrons. THz computed tomography revealed nondestructively the presence of content, whereas X-rays and neutrons analyzed more precisely the fabrication process and conservation of the pottery together with the nature of this content owing to higher spatial resolution and contrast. With neutron tomography, we determined the method used to seal the jar as well as the finer structure of the inner content. Neutron-induced prompt gamma spectroscopy was finally applied to measure the elemental composition of the content, which is supposed to consist of dried germinated seeds.

Guided surface modes in a hollow slab waveguide with a left-handed material substrate or cover

The structural dispersion characteristics of guided surface modes in a hollow slab waveguide with a left-handed material substrate or cover are investigated. Dispersion relation is derived by using normalized parameters, and universal dispersion curves have been obtained analytically, by solving transcendental dispersion equations in a reverse way. Existence condition, mode degeneracy and other dispersion properties of guided surface modes have been discussed for different ? or μ of three layers for this substrate or cover layer.

采用不同手段研究了催化剂反应前后及在Ｈ２Ｏ和Ｎ２介质中再生时催化剂性质和表面原子浓度及其颁的变化。ＢＥＴ结果表明，Ｎ２介质中再生，催化剂的孔径基本没有变化，而Ｈ２Ｏ介质中再生的催化剂孔径明显增大，化学组成分析结果说明，长期运转使用后的催化剂在２和Ｈ２Ｏ介质中再生后其活性组分均有少量流失。电子探针的结果表明，结炭后的催化剂活性组分很不均匀，在Ｎ２和Ｈ２Ｏ介质中再生后其分布得到了明显改善，但仍不如新鲜     

Analytical Electron Microscopy Examination of the γ′/γ Interfaces in a Ni-Based Superalloy

The investigation of microstructure and chemical composition of the and phases were performed in a Ni-base superalloy by means of analytical electron microscopy. The distribution of particular elements in the alloy was revealed using X-ray mapping in a transmission electron microscope. The detected concentration profiles of alloying elements at the / interface were relatively sharp in the case of cuboidal shape of the phase while they resembled the classical diffusion profile for the oval phase. The quantitative analysis of the phase revealed much higher content of Al and lower of Ti, W, Co and Mo in the oval precipitates compared to cuboidal ones. This result is attributed to the different solidification paths, which is eutectic for the cuboidal precipitates and peritectic for the oval precipitates.     

Porous Ni@Pt Core‐Shell Nanotube Array Electrocatalyst with High Activity and Stability for Methanol Oxidation

Bimetallic core‐shell nanostructures are emerging as more important materials than monometallic nanostructures, and have much more interesting potential applications in various fields, including catalysis and electronics. In this work, we demonstrate the facile synthesis of core‐shell nanotube array catalysts consisting of Pt thin layers as the shells and Ni nanotubes as the cores. The porous Ni@Pt core‐shell nanotube arrays were fabricated by ZnO nanorod‐array template‐assisted electrodeposition, and they represent a new class of nanostructures with a high electrochemically active surface area of 50.08 m² (g Pt)^?1, which is close to the value of 59.44 m² (g Pt)^?1 for commercial Pt/C catalysts. The porous Ni@Pt core‐shell nanotube arrays also show markedly enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability for methanol oxidation compared with the commercial Pt/C catalysts. The attractive performances exhibited by these prepared porous Ni@Pt core‐shell nanotube arrays make them promising candidates as future high‐performance catalysts for methanol electrooxidation. The facile method described herein is suitable for large‐scale, low‐cost production, and significantly lowers the Pt loading, and thus, the cost of the catalysts.
