Preparation of nano-hydroxyapatite/poly(<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-lactide) biocomposite microspheres

Nano-hydroxyapatite (HA)/poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) composite microspheres with relatively uniform size distribution were prepared by a solid-in-oil-in-water (s/o/w) emusion solvent evaporation method. The encapsulation of the HA nanopaticles in microshperes was significantly improved by grafting PLLA on the surface of the HA nanoparticles (p-HA) during emulsion process. This procedure gave a possibility to obtain p-HA/PLLA composite microspheres with uniform morphology and the encapsulated p-HA nanoparticle loading reached up to 40 wt% (33 wt% of pure HA) in the p-HA/PLLA composite microspheres. The microstructure of composite microspheres from core-shell to single phase changed with the variation of p-HA to PLLA ratios. p-HA/PLLA composite microspheres with the diameter range of 2–3 μm were obtained. The entrapment efficiency of p-HA in microspheres could high up to 90 wt% and that of HA was only 13 wt%. Surface and bulk characterizations of the composite microspheres were performed by measurements such as wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Effect of long-period stacking ordered phase on thermal stability of refined grains in Mg-RE-based alloys

The refined grains in both as-cast Mg-10Y-1Zn-2Zr (WZ101?K, wt.%) and Mg-10Y-1Al (WA101, wt.%) alloys have been found to have superior thermal stability after solution treatment. Plate-shaped, but different polytypes of long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases distributed along grain boundaries are considered as the predominant inhibitors of grain growth. Based on the plate-shaped features of the LPSO phases, a modified Zener’s model is established and the predicted limiting grain sizes are in a good agreement with the experimental results. Therefore, this model has strong potential for designing advanced Mg-RE-based alloys with high strength and high creep resistance at high temperatures.     

Effect of Vacancy Defects on the Young's Modulus and Fracture Strength of Graphene: A Molecular Dynamics Study

The Young's modulus of graphene with various rectangular and circular vacancy defects is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. By comparing with the results calculated from an effective spring model, it is demonstrated that the Young's modulus of graphene is largely correlated to the size of vacancy defects perpendicular to the stretching direction. And a linear reduction of Young's modulus with the increasing concentration of mono‐atomic‐vacancy defects (i.e., the slope of ?0.03) is also observed. The fracture behavior of graphene, including the fracture strength, crack initiation and propagation are then studied by the molecular dynamics simulation, the effective spring model, and the quantized fracture mechanics. The blunting effect of vacancy edges is demonstrated, and the characterized crack tip radius of 4.44 Å is observed.     

圆形复合式磁控溅射阴极设计及其放电特性模拟研究

基于二维有限元算法使用COMSOL软件对圆形复合式磁控溅射阴极的磁场进行了计算,结合Matlab优化工具箱分别采用遗传算法和模拟退火算法对圆形复合式磁控溅射阴极的结构进行优化,得到靶材利用率达到最大的最优结构.对得到的最优化磁控阴极,基于自洽粒子模拟方法,使用VSim软件对不同工况下的放电特性进行了模拟.研究发现随着磁场非平衡度的增加,阴极表面电势降落最大的位置和等离子体聚集的位置,沿着阴极表面外沿不断向阴极中心移动,阴极表面磁场的强度不断减小.随着磁场非平衡度的增加,等离子体密度先增加后减小,鞘层厚度先减小后增加,等离子体的密度和鞘层厚度不仅与磁场非平衡度有关,而且与磁场强度有关.最后根据粒子模拟的结果,对复合式磁控阴极的靶材刻蚀深度进行了研究.研究发现,在优化前后靶材的刻蚀范围从60 mm扩展至整个靶面,极大地提高了靶材利用率.     

类He的Y离子双电子复合计算

采用准相对论的多组态Hartree-Fock(HFR)方法计算了类Li的Y离子(Z=39)的能级和振子强度,并且通过采用扭曲波方法计算自由电子的波函数,我们得到了由类He的基态到类Li的双激发态的自电离几率和双电子复合系数。在计算中,相对论质量—速度和Darwin修正都包含在哈密顿中。为了便于等离子体细致能级占据数密度的动力学计算,我们用一个解析表达式来表示作为自由电子温度函数的双电子复合速率系数,这个表达式精确地描写了从类He的基态到类Li的单激发态的双电子复合。
