播种时期对春小麦籽粒增重过程和蛋白质含量变化的影响

以阿勃等四个春小麦品种（品系）为材料，分析了播种时期对西宁地区春小麦粒重及蛋白质含量的影响，结果表明，播种时期对春小麦籽粒增重过程和籽粒发育过程中蛋白质含量的变化规律没有显著影响。晚播使籽粒蛋白质含量增加，西宁地区播期晚至４月１５日粒重也有增加趋势，但随着播期推迟，春小麦单位面积穗数和每穗粒数明显减少，籽粒产量和蛋白质产量随之下降。

Gadolinia-doped ceria films deposited by RF reactive magnetron sputtering

Gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) films were prepared by RF reactive magnetron sputtering from a Gd-10 at.% Ce alloy target in reactive O₂/Ar gas mixtures and annealed at 700 °C for 2 h. Material characteristics and chemical compositions of GDC films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electrical behaviors were measured by AC impedance in the range of 500–700 °C at OCV for air condition. The microstructure of GDC films was found to be an assembly of columnar crystallites with a cubic fluorite structure. The total conductivity of 700 °C-annealed GDC (GDC-1) with the obtained composition of (Ce_0.911Gd_0.089)O_1.938 was higher than that of bulk yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), but smaller than bulk GDC. The governing mechanism of conduction of sputtered-GDC electrolyte films was mainly governed by a grain boundary process, which resulted in a blocking effect and the lower conductivity of thin films than that of bulk GDC samples. Our results suggested that sputtered-GDC films with a comparable conductivity can be used as solid electrolyte layers for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system as compared to the well-known YSZ.     

Electrical and magnetic behavior of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3/La0.7Sr0.2Ca0.1MnO3 composites

The electrical transport properties and the magnetoresistance of La_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃/La_0.7Sr_0.2Ca_0.1MnO₃ composites are investigated as a function of sintering temperature. On the basis of an analysis by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy we suggest that raising the sintering temperature enhanced the interfacial reaction and creates interfacial phases at the boundaries of the La_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃ and La_0.7Sr_0.2Ca_0.1MnO₃. Results also show that in 3 kOe, and at the Curie temperature, the magnetoresistance value of 14% was observed for the composite sintered at 1300 °C. Based on the phenomenological equation for conductivity under a percolation approach, which depends on the phase segregation of ferromagnetic metallic clusters and paramagnetic insulating regions, we fitted the experimental resistivity—temperature data from 50-300 K and find that the activation barrier decreases as temperature is increased.     

Phase transition and dielectric characteristics of nano-grained BaTiO3 ceramics synthesized from surface-coated nano-powders

Nano-grained BaTiO₃ (BTO) ceramics were synthesized by pressureless sintering BTO nano-powders coated with Mn materials. The BTO ceramics, which were prepared at 800 °C from nano-powders of 40 nm size, are of a cubic structure with a small fraction of tetragonal phase, similar to that of the starting BTO nano-powders of the same size. On the other hand, the BTO ceramics with about grains of 1300 nm size, which were prepared at sintering temperature ranging from 1100 to 1200 °C, have a mainly tetragonal phase. By increasing the sintering temperature and/or the amount of the coating materials, the crystallinity of the tetragonal phase was increased. The relation of the dielectric features of the nano-grained BTO ceramics with the structural variation is discussed in terms of process parameters.     

Interfacial segregation in Ag-Au,Au-Pd,and Cu-Ni alloys: II. [001] Σ5 twist grain boundaries

Atomistic simulations of segregation to [001] 5 twist boundaries in Cu–Ni, Au–Pd, and Ag–Au alloy systems have been performed for a wide range of temperatures and compositions within the solid solution region of these alloy phase diagrams. In addition to the grain boundary segregation profiles, grain boundary free energies, enthalpies, and entropies were determined. These simulations were performed within the framework of the free energy simulation method, in which an approximate free energy functional is minimized with respect to atomic coordinates and atomic site occupation. For all alloy bulk compositions (0.05 C 0.95) and temperatures (400 T (K) 1,100) examined, Cu and Au segregates to the boundary in the Cu–Ni and Au–Pd alloy systems, respectively; although in the Ag–Au alloys, the majority element segregates to the boundary. The width of the segregation profile is limited to approximately three to four (002) atomic planes. The classical theories for the segregation, and the effects of the relaxation with respect to either the atomic positions or the atomic concentrations, are discussed. The boundary thermodynamic properties depend sensitively on the magnitude of the boundary segregation, and some of them are shown to vary linearly with the magnitude of the grain boundary segregation.     

Resolving magnetic and chemical correlations in CoPtCr films using soft X-ray resonant scattering

Resonant small-angle scattering at the 2p levels of 3d transition elements strongly enhances scattering from both magnetic and chemical structure in the plane of thin films, as recently demonstrated for Co/Pt multilayers having perpendicular anisotropy. Here this resonant enhancement is demonstrated for CoPtCr films having in-plane magnetic anisotropy. A simple formalism describing the spectral dependence of the kinematical scattering provides a means to distinguish between magnetic and charge scattering and to probe the chemical segregation processes yielding charge scattering, thereby providing new information about this structure. It is found that correlation lengths of magnetic scattering are roughly 5 times larger than those for chemical scattering in the as-deposited CoPtCr film studied, consistent with significant exchange-coupling between polycrystalline grains.     

Near-microscopic grain boundary facilitates fatigue crack propagation in a polycrystalline Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy

In present study, grain characteristics with sizes within 10–30 μm were fabricated from a same Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy, FCP behaviors of the alloys with small grain(SG alloy), medium grain(MG alloy) and large grain(LG alloy)were investigated and related fatigue fracture morphology was analyzed. With the enhancement of stress intensity factor range(ΔK), the alloy with larger grains possessed faster FCP rate, which were successively arranged as SG alloy > MG alloy > LG alloy at initial stage while...
