Optimal design of a convergent-barrel cold spray nozzle by numerical method

A convergent-barrel (CB) cold spray nozzle was designed through numerical simulation. It was found that the main factors influencing significantly particle velocity and temperature include the length and diameter of the barrel section, the nature of the accelerating gas and its pressure and temperature, and the particle size. Particles can achieve a relatively low velocity but a high temperature under the same gas pressure using a CB nozzle compared to a convergent-divergent (CD) nozzle. The experiment results with Cu powder using the designed CB nozzle confirmed that particle deposition can be realized under a lower gas pressure with a CB nozzle.     

Chemical synthesis of p-type nanocrystalline copper selenide thin films for heterojunction solar cells

Nanocrystalline thin films of copper selenide have been grown on glass and tin doped-indium oxide substrates using chemical method. At ambient temperature, golden films have been synthesized and annealed at 200 °C for 1 h and were examined for their structural, surface morphological and optical properties by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis spectrophotometry techniques, respectively. Cu_2−xSe phase was confirmed by XRD pattern and spherical grains of 30 ± 4 - 40 ± 4 nm in size aggregated over about 130 ± 10 nm islands were seen by SEM images. Effect of annealing on crystallinity improvement, band edge shift and photoelectrochemical performance (under 80 mW/cm² light intensity and in lithium iodide electrolyte) has been studied and reported. Observed p-type electrical conductivity in copper selenide thin films make it a suitable candidate for heterojunction solar cells.     

Light emission from nanocrystalline silicon clusters embedded in silicon dioxide: Role of the suboxide states

Silicon clusters embedded in a silicon dioxide matrix were prepared by ultrasound-assisted implantation resulting in a modified concentration of suboxide states as revealed by high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy. It is suggested that ultrasound treatment results in formation of different interface structure between silicon cluster and silicon dioxide matrix which is characterized by a distinctly reduced concentration of the suboxide states. It is observed that photoluminescence properties are strongly correlated with the concentration of the suboxide states thereby providing an evidence that besides a quantum confinement effect a closer look at the chemical composition of the nc-Si/SiO₂ system is important.

Structures and magnetic properties for electrodeposited Co ultrathin films on copper

The formation of Co films on polycrystalline copper in diluted sulphuric acid was investigated by employing cyclic voltammetry (CV), atomic force microscopy, and in-situ magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) techniques. By comparing CV measurements in the pure supporting electrolyte (11 mM K₂SO₄/1 mM H₂SO₄) and the cobalt sulphate solution (10 mM K₂SO₄/1 mM H₂SO₄/1 mM CoSO₄), peaks from voltammetric cycling for copper dissolution, readsorption of dissolved copper ions, cobalt bulk dissolution and oxidation of hydrogen could be resolved. As the electroplating time increases, the size of the Co clusters increases and the deposition of Co corresponds to island growth. The first hysteresis loop occurs at a Co thickness of 0.33 nm in the longitudinal configuration. For films thinner than 7 nm, the Kerr intensity increases linearly because the Curie temperature of the film is well above 300 K.     

Growth and field emission property of coiled carbon nanostructure using copper as catalyst

Coiled carbon nanostructure (CNS) is prepared by a catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process on copper/chromium films deposited by radio frequency (RF) sputtering. Uniform CNS with coiled structure is fabricated by changing the size of the catalyst particles. The effects of Cu catalyst size and RF sputtering power, on the growth of the coiled CNS are discussed, and the results importantly conclude that Cu-catalyzed CVD offers a preferable control of coiled CNS to optimize the field emission property for application.     

Formation of copper islands on a native SiO2 surface at elevated temperatures

A combination of in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and ex situ scanning electron- and atomic force microscopy has been used to study the formation of copper islands upon Cu deposition at elevated temperatures as a basis for the guided growth of copper islands. Two different temperature regions have been found: (I) up to 250 °C only close packed islands are formed due to low diffusion length of copper atoms on the surface. The SiO₂ film acts as a barrier protecting the silicon substrate from diffusion of Cu atoms from oxide surface. (II) The deposition at temperatures above 300 °C leads to the formation of separate islands which are (primarily at higher temperatures) crystalline. At these temperatures, copper atoms diffuse through the SiO₂ layer. However, they are not entirely dissolved in the bulk but a fraction of them forms a Cu rich layer in the vicinity of SiO₂/Si interface. The high copper concentration in this layer lowers the concentration gradient between the surface and the substrate and, consequently, inhibits the diffusion of Cu atoms into the substrate. Hence, the Cu islands remain on the surface even at temperatures as high as 450 °C.     

光谱法研究人胞红蛋白与铜(Ⅱ)离子的相互作用

胞红蛋白(Cygb)是近期在脊椎动物中发现的一种球蛋白家族成员,具有典型珠蛋白的“3+3”式的α-螺旋三明治折叠结构。利用紫外可见吸收光谱、荧光光谱、同步荧光光谱及圆二色(CD)光谱法研究了Cu2+离子与Cygb的相互作用。结果表明,当Cu2+离子加入到Cygb溶液中后,Cygb在280 nm处的紫外吸收强度增大,说明Cu2+与Cygb发生了相互作用;Cu2+使Cygb的内源性荧光发生猝灭,其猝灭方式为静态猝灭。同步荧光光谱研究表明,Cu2+可使色氨酸和酪氨酸的微环境发生较小的改变,与酪氨酸相比Cu2+对Cygb的键合部位更接近于色氨酸。圆二色光谱研究表明,Cu2+对Cygb的二级结构未引起明显变化。
