Defect concentration in Ti-substituted YIG from TG curves

The article discusses theory and experiment about the measurement of defect concentration in Ti-substituted yttrium iron garnet by means of thermogravimetry techniques. The two possible cases arising from oxygen interchange with atmosphere, oxygen vacancies and interstitial cations, may be analyzed quantitatively from the derived expressions. The possibility of another type of defects being present in the samples, not associated to oxygen evolution, is not excluded. Measurements were carried out in air and CO₂ for different Ti contents. The substitution tends to increase slightly the defect parameter θ in YIG, while a CO₂ reducing atmosphere is much more effective than the Ti substitution for increasing θ. Calculations for a given single-phased sample sintered in air show two possibilities: a deficit of one oxygen atom for every 2.5 unit cells of 96 atoms, or one excess cation for every 3.5 cells. Other samples show very similar results. The accuracy involved in the measurements is about 2–3%.     

纳米TiO2的光生电荷迁移特性研究

利用场诱导光电压谱(简称FISPS)和瞬态光伏(简称TPV)技术研究了TiO₂的光生电荷的产生和传输机制.发现光生电荷在体块TiO₂上的迁移机制不同于在纳米TiO₂上的迁移机制，也不同于在结界面空间电荷区的迁移机制. 400 ℃处理的TiO₂颗粒表面具有大量的表面态，光生电荷被表面态捕获-释放机制控制着光伏行为的过程是慢过程. 800 ℃处理的TiO₂已经形成了完整的能带结构，光伏响应除了表现带-带跃迁外,还有一个在带边的自由激子带，光生电荷被表面自建场驱动进行传递的过程是快过程. 600 ℃处理的TiO₂混晶由锐钛矿型和金红石型两种构型组成，在两相之间存在着较低势垒的结界面．它的光伏响应受控于两种机制 ：光生电荷在两相间结界面空间电荷区的传输和在表面自建场驱动下的传输.当激发光强较小时，界面空间电荷区的光生电子由于积累的浓度较小而不能隧穿过结界面，这种场助隧穿只有在外场作用下才能发生.     

Raman study of structural defects in SiO2 aerogels

The structure of the silica aerogels was studied by Raman spectroscopy. The spectra of the solid network resembles that of bulk silica with additional bands related to organic groups and a large amount of OH groups.The typical bands due to ring breathing also called defect bands D ₁ and D ₂ located at 490 and 610 cm^–1 are present. However, the evolution of the D ₂ band compared to that of OH band (980 cm^–1) seems apparently, in contradiction with the results previously reported in the literature. During heat treatments between 25 and 300°C the D ₂ and the OH bands increase simultaneously. Generally, in silica glass the defect band D ₂ grows at the expense of the OH groups.This result is explained by the oxidation of the organic compounds which, in this temperature range, leads to the formation of the both species (OH) and those related to siloxane rings. ²⁹Si MAS NMR results are in agreement with the Raman study.     

FT-EPR Spectroscopic Study of Silicophosphate Glasses Derived from Gels

(100-x) mole% SiO₂-x mole% P₂O₅-glasses withx=1–9 have been prepared by the sol-gel process using tetraethylorthosilicate and triethylphosphate as precursors. The gels were fired at various temperatures up to 950°C and then exposed to γ-ray irradiation to induce paramagnetic centers. CW-EPR and FT-EPR Spectroscopies were employed at temperatures between 4 and 300 K in order to determine the resulting structures. The dried gels exhibited four types of O ₂ ⁻ -ions trapped in pores of different sizes. The gels fired atT=670°C exhibited theE’ ₁-center and non-bridging oxygen as a results of the fracture of the Si-O-Si bonds. At higher temperatures, the spectra of the POHC, POHC ^b ,E’, and CH ₃ ⁻ -centers have been detected that are a function ofx andT.     

Fine structures of zeolite-Linde-L (LTL): surface structures, growth unit and defects

High-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) has been used to image the surface structure of nano- and micrometer-sized synthetic crystals of zeolite-Linde-L (LTL). Columnar holes and rotational, nano-sized, wheel-like defects were observed within the crystals, where the hole has a minimum size equal to that of the rotational defect. Predictions of surface structure from atomistic computer simulation concur with the observations from HREM and provide insight into the crystal growth mechanism of perfect and defective LTL. Analysis of the energetics of the formation of rotational defect structures reveals that the driving force for defect creation is thermodynamic and furthermore, the rotational defects could be created in high concentrations. Formation of a columnar hole is found to be slightly energetically unfavourable and therefore we speculate that the incidence of both rotational and nano-sized vacancy defects is strongly dependent on kinetic factors and reaction conditions. The morphology of nano- and microcrystalline LTL is contradistinct and we use insights from simulation to propose an explanation of the disparity in crystal shape.     

负荷度对盾构隧道管片火灾下力学性能影响

针对不同边界条件下的地铁管片建立了热力耦合数值模型,采用顺序耦合热-应力分析方法对不同负荷度下衬砌管片在高温下的变形及内力进行了分析,并基于火灾试验数据进行了验证。研究表明,负荷度是影响管片在火灾高温下变形特性的关键因素。负荷度越大,管片跨中位移在升温阶段发展越充分,下缘混凝土的极限压应力越小。支座边界条件不同时,衬砌管片变形受高温影响的程度也不相同。当衬砌管片两端的水平位移被约束时,由于在升温过程中衬砌管片产生不可忽略的变形,支座反力先增大后减小,最后持续增大直至升温结束。

为研究盾构管片接缝橡胶密封垫的防水耐久性,开展了橡胶密封垫水热加速老化试验,并对老化后试样进行拉伸力学性能试验、试样表面电镜扫描与长期防水性能试验,分析了橡胶垫表面微观尺度下的防水失效机理;采用橡胶密封垫极限防水压力为耐久性评价指标,结合基于Arrhenius方程的p-T-t数学模型,推导了橡胶密封垫长期防水性能折减系数的预测公式。结果表明：老化后橡胶密封垫表面接触状况的恶化和橡胶材料的硬化,加速了橡胶密封垫接触面间渗漏通道的形成;橡胶密封垫防水性能随着老化时间的增加不断降低,但下降速度逐渐减小。采用提出的防水性能预测公式对广东榕江-关埠引水工程盾构隧洞实际使用的橡胶密封垫的耐久性进行了预测,预测服役100 a后的老化系数为0.390,结果相对于仅考虑橡胶材料力学性能时的预测结果偏小12.36%,对原设计使用期内频繁出现的渗漏现象提供了合理解释与更准确的寿命预测。
