Intermediate temperature creep mechanisms in Ni 3 Al

The intermediate-temperature creep response of single-crystal Ni 3 Al(Ta) has been investigated along both [ ] and [001] axial orientations. The effect of the existing deformation structure (i.e. pre-straining) on the [ ] creep response was reported. The creep responses of virgin specimens and specimens prestrained at room temperature (RT) and 520°C are compared. In order to compare the dislocation structures prior to creep, the microstructure of specimens which had been deformed at a constant strain rate at RT and 520°C, but not subjected to creep, was also examined. Creep curves show that the temperature of pre-strain influences the subsequent creep properties. The primary creep response, like the yielding response, appears to be controlled by the kink size distribution, while the secondary creep response is thought to be controlled by the kink separation (or the length of the Kear-Wilsdorf locks). Specimens crept along [ ] display steady state creep properties and rectangularly oriented [ ](010) dislocations, while a virgin specimen crept along [001] displays an increasing secondary creep rate (inverse creep) and d110 ¢{100}-type dislocations. Inverse creep along [001] is thought to be the result of an increasing density of edge kink octahedral sources where there is little resolved shear stress on the cube planes.     

垂直沉积干燥薄膜的剪切模量粒径依赖研究

作者前期在关于胶体颗粒粒径对干燥薄膜的初始裂纹形成影响的研究论文中报道了:对于相同厚度薄膜的初始裂纹,其裂纹间距随颗粒粒径的增大而减小.本文从这一实验现象出发,针对垂直沉积干燥薄膜的剪切模量进行了进一步的理论分析.结果表明此薄膜的剪切模量同样具有粒径依赖的特性.同时,通过与颗粒聚集体材料剪切模量的粒径依赖性的比较,我们发现二者有所差异,这表明干燥薄膜的剪切模量不仅仅由其固相部分决定,其液相部分的影响不可忽视.     

基于Tr(o)ger's Base 的强荧光化合物纳米晶的尺寸效应

利用再沉淀法制备了极性不同的两种基于Tr(o)ger's碱的化合物:4,13-二(4-联苯)-6,6,11,11-四丁基-9H,18H-8,17-甲基二芴(2,3-b:2',3'-f)(1,5)二氮芳辛(TBFB-BP)和4,13-二(4-N,N-二苯基苯胺)-6,6,11,11-四丁基-9H,18H-8,17-甲基二芴(2,3-b:2',3'-f)(1,5)二氮芳(TBFB-TPA) 的有机纳米晶.由于Λ-扭折构型的空间位阻作用,这两种化合物在溶液、纳米粒子悬浊液和固态粉末下均显示出强蓝色荧光. 随着化合物纳米粒径的增加,TBFB-BP纳米粒子悬浊液的吸收光谱红移,发射光谱增强,这可能是由于随着纳米粒径的增加,纳米粒子的晶格刚性增强,使其振动驰豫降低.但是对于极性更强的TBFB-TPA来说,由于溶剂效应,其发射光谱随着粒径的增大逐渐蓝移.此外还讨论了分子极性对尺寸效应的影响.     

EFFECT OF DIELECTRIC CONSTANT ON THE EXCITON GROUND STATE ENERGY OF CdSe QUANTUM DOTS

The B-spline technique is used in the calculation of the exciton ground state energy based on the effective mass approximation (EMA) model. The exciton is confined in CdSe microspherical crystallites with a finite-height potential wall (dots). In this approach, (a) the wave function is allowed to penetrate to the outside of the dots; (b) the dielectric constants of the quantum dot and the surrounding material are considered to be different; and (c) the dielectric constant of the dots are size-dependent. The exciton energies as functions of radii of the dots in the range 0.5-3.5 nm are calculated and compared with experimental and previous theoretical data. The results show that: (1) The exciton energy is convergent as the radius of the dot becomes very small. (2) A good agreement with the experimental data better than other theoretical results is achieved. (3) The penetration (or leaking) of the wave function and the difference of the dielectric constants in different regions are necessary for correcting the Coulomb interaction energy and reproducing experimental data. (4) The EMA model with B-spline technique can describe the status of excition confined in quantum dot very well.     

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING FOR THIN PLATE-LIKE STRUCTURES INCLUDING SURFACE EFFECTS BY USING STATE SPACE METHOD

<正>A three-dimensional(3-D)approach based on the state space method is proposed to study size-dependent mechanical properties of ultra-thin plate-like elastic structures considering surface effects.The structure is modeled as a laminate composed of a bulk bounded with upper and bottom surface layers,which are allowed to have different material properties from the bulk layer.State equations,including the surface properties of the structure,can be established on the basis of 3-D fundamental elasticity to analyze the size-dependent static characteristics of the thin plate-like structure.Compared with two-dimensional plate theories based size-dependent models for thin film structures in literature,the present 3-D approach is exact,which can provide benchmark results to assess the accuracy of 2-D plate theories and various numerical approaches. To show the feasibility of the proposed approach,a 3-D analytical solution for a simply supported plate-like thin structure including surface layers is derived.An algorithm is proposed for the calculation of the state equations obtained to ensure that the numerical results can reveal the surface effects clearly even for extremely thin surface layers.Numerical examples are carried out to exhibit the surface effects and some discussions are provided based on the results obtained.     

Preparation of Nano‐bismuth with Different Particle Sizes and the Size Dependent Electrochemical Thermodynamics

Nano‐bismuth has excellent electrochemical properties. However, it is still unclear how the particle size of nano‐bismuth influences its electrochemical thermodynamic properties. In this paper, spherical bismuth nanoparticles with different particle sizes were prepared by solvothermal method; the electrode potentials, the temperature coefficients of the electrode potentials and the thermodynamic functions of reaction for nano‐bismuth electrodes with different particle sizes at different temperatures were determined; and the effects of particle size on the electrode potential, the temperature coefficient and the thermodynamic functions were discussed. The experimental results show that particle size of bismuth nanoparticles has a significant influences on the electrochemical thermodynamic properties. The standard electrode potential of the nano‐bismuth electrode with a diameter of 39.9 nm was 0.009 V lower than that of the ordinary standard electrode (0.308 V); the temperature coefficient of the electrode potential with a diameter of 39.9 nm was nearly double that of 85.9 nm. With the particle sizes decrease, the standard molar Gibbs energy of reaction, the standard molar enthalpy of reaction, the standard molar entropy of reaction, the molar reversible reaction heat and the temperature coefficient increase; and these quantities are linearly related to the reciprocal of the particle diameter.
