Vanadium films were deposited on Si(100)substrates at room temperature by direct current(DC)magnetron sputtering.The microstructure and surface morphology were studied using scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and atomic force microscope(AFM).The oxidation resistance of films in air was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results showed that the amorphous vanadium film with a flatter surface had higher oxidation resistance than the crystalline film when exposed to atmosphere.The rapid formation of the thin oxide layer of amorphous vanadium film could protect the film from sustained oxidation,and the relative reasons were discussed.

Preparation and Microstructure of Porous ZrB_2 Ceramics Using Reactive Spark Plasma Sintering Method

Zirconium oxide （ZrO：） and boron carbide （B4C） were added to ZrB2 raw powders to prepare ZrB2 porous ceramics by reactive spark plasma sintering （RSPS）. The reactions between ZrO2 and B,C which produce ZrB2 and gas （such as CO and B2O3） result in pore formation. X-Ray Diffraction results indicated that the products phase was ZrB2 and the reaction was completed after the RSPS process. The porosity could be controlled by changing the ratio of synthesized ZrB2 to raw ZrB2 powders. The porosity of porous ceramics with 20 wt% and 40 wt% synthsized ZrB2 are 0.185 and 0.222, respectivly. And dense ZrB：SiC ceramic with a porosity of 0.057 was prepared under the same conditions for comparison. The pores were homogeneously distributed within the microstructure of the porous ceramics. The results indicate a promising method for preparing porous ZrB：based ceramics.

Diffusion Kinetics of Carbonate Hydroxyapatite (CHAP) for Adsorbing F^- Dissolved in Water

A systematic research was performed about diffusion kinetics of adsorbing F^- dissolved in water for carbonate hydroxyapatite （CHAP） from the natural hydroxyapatite which was modified by adulterating with CO3^2-. The result shows that the speed of F^- adsorption is controlled by membrane diffusion when F^- concentration is relatively low, which is expressed by the kinetic equation of diffusion Q=0.0005（Ci-C）（t-ti）＋0.3967, or by vacancy diffusion when F^- concentration is relatively high, which is expressed by the kinetic equation of diffusion In[C（o, t）]=8.4718-0.5048Int. Based on the feature of CHAP for adsorbing F^- dissolved in water and its special channel of the structure of CO3^3- modified hydroxyapatite, models of vacancy diffusion and membrane diffusion were established.

Microstructure and Electrical Conductivity of CNTs/PMMA Nanocomposite Foams Foaming by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

The carbon nanotubes（CNTs）/polymethylmethacrylate（PMMA）nanocomposite foams were prepared by the anti-solvent precipitation and supercriticalfoaming method.The morphology and the electricalconductivity of the foams with different kinds of CNTs were investigated.The experimentalresults showed that allthe foams had uniform cellstructure,and the cellsize changed from 1.9 to 10 μm when the foaming temperature ranged from 50 ℃ to 95 ℃.With smallcellsize（1.9-4.0 μm）,the conductivities of the foams were 3.34×10^（-6）-4.16×10^（-6） S/cm compared with the solid matrix since the introduction of micro cells did not destroy the conductive network.However,when the cellsize was biger（4.5-10 μm）,the aspect ratio of the CNTs played the dominant role of the conductivity.The foams with short CNTs had higher conductivity,since the short CNTs were hard to stretch and snap by the cells and can well-dispersed in the cellwalland celledges.The results of this work provided a novelmaterialdesign method for conductive foams based on the rule of both microstructure and aspect ratio of the CNTs.

Infl uencing Mechanism and Interaction of Muscovite on Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Polyphosphate

The interaction mechanism and phase evolution of ammonium polyphosphate（APP）mixed with muscovite（APP/muscovite）were studied by TG,XRD and SEM,respectively,during heating.When the temperature is not higher than 300 ℃,muscovite has no effect on the thermaldecomposition of APP,and the initialdecomposition temperature of APP/muscovite at 283 ℃ is basically the same as the APP at 295 ℃,and the main thermaldecomposition products are polyphosphoric acid and NH_4H_2PO_4 at 300 ℃.The polyphosphoric acid,the decomposition products of APP,can enable K and Siout of muscovite and interact with muscovite chemically to generate Al_2O_3·2SiO_2,α-SiO_2 and phosphates（AlPO_4 and K_5P_3O_（10））compounds during 400 ℃-800 ℃,which own obvious adhesive phenomenon and porous structure with the apparent porosity of 58.4%.Further reactions between phosphates other than reactions among Al_2O_3·2SiO_2 and α-SiO_2 can generate KAlP_2O_7 at 1 000 ℃ and the density of residualproduct is improved by low melting point phosphate filling pore to form relatively dense structure and decrease the apparent porosity to 44.4%.The flame resistant and self-supported ceramic materials are expected to enhance the fire-retarding synergistic effect between APP and muscovite.

Microstructure and Mechanical Performance of Cu-SnO_2-rGO based Composites Prepared by Plasma Activated Sintering

A novel chemical technique combined with unique plasma activated sintering（PAS） was utilized to prepare consolidated copper matrix composites（CMCs） by adding Cu-SnO2-rGO layered micro powders as reinforced fillers into Cu matrix. The repeating Cu-SnO2-rGO structure was composed of inner dispersed reduced graphene oxide（r GO）, SnO2 as intermedia and outer Cu coating. SnO2 was introduced to the surface of rGO sheets in order to prevent the graphene aggregation with SnO2 serving as spacer and to provide enough active sites for subsequent Cu deposition. This process can guarantee rGO sheets to suffi ciently disperse and Cu nanoparticles to tightly and uniformly anchor on each layer of rGO by means of the SnO2 active sites as well as strictly control the reduction speed of Cu^2＋. The complete cover of Cu nanoparticles on rGO sheets thoroughly avoids direct contact among rGO layers. Hence, the repeating structure can simultaneously solve the wettability problem between rGO and Cu matrix as well as improve the bonding strength between rGO and Cu matrix at the well-bonded Cu-SnO2-rGO interface. The isolated rGO can effectively hinder the glide of dislocation at Cu-rGO interface and support the applied loads. Finally, the compressive strength of CMCs was enhanced when the strengthening effi ciency reached up to 41.

Effects of Silica Aerogel Content on Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of Poly(methyl methacrylate)/Silica Aerogel Dual-scale Cellular Foams Processed in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

A novel poly（methyl-methacrylate）/silica aerogel（PMMA/SA） dual-scale cellular foam was synthesized with internal mixing followed by the supercritical carbon dioxide foaming process.The effects of silica aerogel content on the microstructural and mechanical performance of the foams were investigated by SEM,TEM analysis,and mechanical tests.The experimental results suggest that the employment of silica aerogel granule as addictive can distinctly improve the morphological feature as well as the mechanical performance in comparison to neat PMMA foam by uniformizing cell size distribution,decreasing cell size and increasing cell density.And dual-scale cells including micrometric cells of 3-10 μm and nanometric cells of about 50 nm existed in the structure of foams resulting from the retained original framework structure of silica aerogel,which has not been described in other studies with the addition of various fillers.Furthermore,the mechanical strength was significantly elevated even with a small amount of silica aerogel resulting from the unique microstructure,decreased cell size and enhanced cell walls.The compressive strength was 18.12 MPa and the flexural strength was 18.90 MPa by adding 5wt% and 2wt% silica aerogel,respectively.These results demonstrate the potential to synthesize PMMA/SA dual-scale cellular foams to be used as structural materials with the advantages of low density and high strength.

Comprehensive Optimization of Electrical and Optical Properties for ATO Films Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Antimony doped tin oxide（ATO） thin films have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition（PLD） method.The intrinsic effect of Sb dopant,including the Sb content,transition degree between Sb（3＋） and Sb（5＋） and crystallinity on the electrical and optical properties of the ATO thin films is mainly investigated.It is suggested that the transition degree of Sb（3＋） towards Sb（5＋）（Sb（5＋）/Sb（3＋） ratio） is determined by Sb content.When the Sb content is increased to 12 at%,the Sb（5＋）/Sb（3＋） ratio reaches the highest value of 2.05,corresponding to the resistivity of 2.70×10（-3） Ω·cm.Meanwhile,the Burstein-Moss effect caused by the increase of carrier concentration is observed and the band gap of the ATO thin films is broadened to 4.0 eV when the Sb content is increased to 12 at%,corresponding to the highest average optical transmittance of 92%.Comprehensively considering the combination of electrical and optical properties,the ATO thin films deposited with Sb content of 12 at%exhibit the best properties with the highest ＂figure of merit＂ of 3.85×10（-3） Ω（-1）.Finally,an antimony selenide（Sb_2Se_3） heterojunction solar cell prototype with the ATO thin film as the anode has been prepared,and a power conversion efficiency of 0.83%has been achieved.

Preparation,Characterization and Electronic Properties of Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide Films

Tin oxide（SnO2） and fluorine doped tin oxide（FTO） films were prepared on glass substrates by sol-gel spin-coating using SnCl4 and NH4F precursors.Fluorine doping concentration was fixed at 4 at%and 20 at%by controlling precursor sol composition.Films exhibited the tetragonal rutile-type crystal structure regardless of fluorine concentration.Uniform and highly transparent FTO films,with more than 85%of optical transmittance,were obtained by annealing at 600℃.Florine doping of films was verified by analyzing the valence band region obtained by XPS.It was found that the fluorine doping affects the shape of valence band of SnO2 films.In addition,it was observed that the band gap of SnO2 is reduced as well as the Fermi level is upward shifted by the effect of fluorine doping.

Preparation of High Performance Grccn Alumina Ceramic Balls by Roller Production Waste

To reuse roller waste as a raw material of high performance green ceramic balls, three kinds of white alumina ceramic balls whose wear resistance were 2-3 times of the best high alumina ceramic ball with 90% Al2O3 were prepared, and the Al2O3 content of the prepared balls was 75%. It is found that the effect of calcia and magnesia on the wear resistance of ceramic balls is contrast to the accepted one： the wear rate of the ceramic balls prepared in CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system is the lowest and the wear rate of the ceramic balls prepared in MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 is the highest. The main crystal phase of the ceramic ball is mullite and corundum. The ceramic ball granular is uniform and fine with 4-5 μm average size. The pore diameter is about 2 μm. The wear way of the ceramic balls is mainly transcrystalline fracture.

Morphologies and Mechanical Properties of Unsaturated Polyester Resin Modified with TDI

The morphology, mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester（UP） resin modified with TDI were studied via dynamic FT-1R spectra, SEM, DMA and mechanical property testing. Results show that companying with the cured cross-linking reaction of UP resin, TDI can firstly react with UP and produce polyurethane（PU）, and then UP and PU form the cross-linking nets together. The impact fracture section morphology of modified UP resin manifested the typical sea- islands structure. Testing of mechanical properties showes that for introducing of PU, the TDI has an obvious effect on the toughness and strength of UP resin. When the ratio of TDI/UP （w/w） was 7.5%, the modified UP resin exhibited the best mechanical properties with flexural strength of 125 MPa, impact strength of 18 kJ·m^-2 and tensile strength of 72 MPa.

The Formation Mechanism and Control Methods of High Temperature Infrared Radiant Coating Defects

Using high aluminum refractory material as substrate at 1400℃, we studied the connections between several oxides such as Fe203, MnOv CuO, and the formation of defects such as coating crack, exfoliation, blistering, erosion, and fading away appeared in the application of high temperature infrared radiation coating. Analyses showed that thermal stress formed during the heating process due to the thermal expansion coefficient differential between the coating and the substrate, and volume effect caused by the crystal transferred when the temperature changed, which resulted in the coating crack and exfoliation. The gas produced by the reactions between components and binder or the components themselves during the heating process caused the coating blistering. The EMPA and XRD analyses show that oxides with low melting point in the penetrating area of the substrate may form eutectic with low melting point and produced thermal defects, which leads to the erosion by penetrating to the substrate. The valent changes of Fe2O3 and MnO2 during the heating process cause the volatilization of the oxides or the pulverization of the coatings, resulting in the coating fades away easily at high temperature for a long time.

Fabrication of W@Cu Composite Powders by Direct Electroless Plating Using a Dripping Method

A direct electroless copper （Cu） coating on tungsten powders method requiring no surface treatment or stabilizing agent and using glyoxylic acid （C2H203） as a reducing agent was reported. The effects of copper sulfate concentration and the pH of the plating solution on the properties of the prepared W@Cu composite powders were assessed. The content of Cu in the composite powders was controlled by adjusting the concentration of copper sulfate in the electroless plating solution. A uniform, dense, and consistent Cu coating was obtained under the established optimum conditions （flow rate of C2H203 = 5.01 mL/min, solution pH = 12.25 and reaction temperature 45.35℃） by using central composite design method. In addition, the crystalline Cu coating was evenly dispersed within the W@Cu composite powders and Cu element in the coating existed as Cu~. The formation mechanism for the W@Cu composite powders by electroless plating in the absence of surface treatment and stabilizing agent was also proposed.

Enhanced Thermoelectric Performance of Non-equilibrium Synthesized Fe0.4Co3.6Sb12-xGex Skutterudites via Randomly Distributed Multi-scaled Impurity Dots

The p-type Ge doped Fe0.4Co3.6Sb12-xGex skutterudites with multi-scaled impurity dots（500 nm-2 mm） were successfully prepared by using melt-quenching（MQ） and subsequent spark plasma sintering（SPS） technique. Compared with traditional method, the new technology significantly shortened the processing time from several days to less than 24 hours. The phase of impurity dots was demonstrated to be CoSb through analysis of X-ray diffraction（XRD） and energy-dispersive spectrum（EDS）. Impurity dots were induced by Ge substitution of Sb in the non-equilibrium synthesized process. Due to the abandonment of the long reaction of annealing crystallization, a few of Ge atoms would fail to substitute Sb site of skutterudite in this non-equilibrium synthesized process, leading to that the multi-scaled impurity dots randomly distributed in the matrix of skutterudite Fe0.4Co3.6Sb12-xGex. The combination of multi-scaled impurity dots scattering long wavelength heat-carrying phonons and the point defect scattering short and middle wavelength heat-carrying phonons dramatically made the 22.2% reduction of lattice thermal conductivity. As a result, compared with unsubstituted sample of Fe0.4Co3.6Sb12, the maximum ZT value was increased by 30.5%. Thus, the two marked features of this new synthesis process, the shortened preparation time and the enhanced thermoelectric performance, would make a promising commercial application in the future.

Surface Passivation of Nanocrystalline Silicon Powder Derived from Cryomilling

The surface passivation mechanism of nanocrystalline silicon powder was studied. The liquid nitrogen/argon was used as the medium to prepare the nanocrystalline silicon powder, using a cryomilling technology. The X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, plasma emission spectroscopy and infrared spectrum were used to analyze the prepared samples, and density functional theory was used to investigate the cryomilling process. For nanocrystalline silicon powder cryomilled with liquid N2, the amorphous outer layer with N element is formed On the surface, and chemisorption caused by the formation of Si-N-Si bond leads to the surface passivation; although physisorpfion also he confirmed, the Si-N bond is steady after exploded in air for 30 days and no new bond is observed. For nanocrystalline silicon powder cryomilled with liquid At, no new chemical bond is Observed, Ar element absorbs on the surface of the prepared powder only through physisorption, and after exploded in air for 30 days, a Si-O bond can be observed obviously.

c-axis-oriented SmBa2Cu3O7（SmBCO） films have been deposited on（100）- LaA1O3（LAO）substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition（MOCVD） technique.The effects of deposition temperature（T（dep）） and total pressure（P（tot）） on the orientation and microstructure of SmBCO films were investigated.The orientation of SmBCO films transformed from α-axis to c-axis with increasing of T（dep） from 900 to 1 100℃.At T（dep）=1 050℃,SmBCO films had c-axis orientation and tetragon surface.At P（tot）^（dep）=400-800 Pa and T（dep）=1 050 ℃,totally c-axis-oriented SmBCO films were obtained.The R（dep） of SmBCO films increased firstly and then decreased with increasing P（tot）.The surface of SmBCO films exhibited tetragon morphology at 1 050 ℃ and400 Pa.Maximum thickness of SmBCO film deposited was 1.2μm at P（tot）= 600 Pa,and the corresponding R（dep）was 7.2 μm·h^（-1）.

Effect of Substrate Temperature on the Structure and Magnetic Properties of CoPt/AlN Multilayer Films

The effect of substrate temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of CoPt/AlN multilayer films has been investigated.The crystallinity of CoPt has been improved with increasing substrate temperature from room temperature to 400 ℃.After post-annealing process,L1_0 CoPt structure transformation has also been promoted.However,since the easy magnetic axis of L1_0 CoPt is in[001]orientation,the promotion of L1_0 CoPt transformation causes the change of easy magnetic axis in（111） textured CoPt layers,which impairs the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.The optimum substrate temperature should be room temperature to obtain the strongest perpendicular magnetic anisotropy according to the results of the present work.

Effects of Annealing Processes on CuxSi(1-x) Thin Films

The CuxSi（1-x） thin films have been grown by pulsed laser deposition（PLD） with in situ annealing on Si（001） and Si（111）,respectively.The transformation of phase was detected by X-ray diffraction（XRD）.The results showed that the as-deposited films were composed of Cu on both Si（001） and Si（111）.The annealed thin films consisted of Cu ＋η ＂-Cu3Si on Si（001） while Cu ＋η＇-Cu3Si on Si（111）,respectively,at annealed temperature（Ta）= 300-600℃.With the further increasing of Ta,at Ta= 700℃,there was only one main phase,η＂-Cu3Si on Si（001） while η＇-Cu3Si on Si（111）,respectively.The annealed thin films transformed from continuous dense structure to scattered-grain morphology with increasing Ta detected by field emission scanning electron microscope（FESEM）.It was also showed that the grain size would enlarge with increasing annealing time（ta）.
