Homogeneous Plastic Flow of Fully Amorphous and Partially Crystallized Zr_(41.2)Ti_(13.8)Cu_(12.5)Ni_(10)Be_(22.5) Bulk Metallic Glass

The homogeneous plastic flow of fully amorphous and partially crystallized Zr(41.2)Ti(13.8)Cu(12.5)Ni(10)Be(22.5) bulk metallic glass (Vitl) has been investigated by compression tests at high temperatures in supercooled liquid region. Experimental results show that at sufficiently low strain rates, the supercooled liquid of the fully amorphous alloy reveals Newtonian flow with a linear relationship between the flow stress and strain rate. As the strain rate is increased, a transition from linear Newtonian to nonlinear flow is detected, which can be explained by the transition state theory. Over the entire strain rate interval investigated, however, only nonlinear flow is present in the partially crystallized alloy, and the flow stress for each strain rate is much higher. It is found that the strain rate-stress relationship for the partially crystaltized alloy at the given temperature of 646 K also obeys the sinh law derived from the transition state theory, similar to that of the initial homogeneous amorphous alloy. Thus, it is proposed that the flow behavior of the nanocrystalline/amorphous composite at 646 K is mainly controlled by the viscous flow of the remaining supercooled liquid.

C–C formation mediated by photoinduced electrons from crystallized carbon nitride nanobelts under visible light irradiation

Crystal structure and crystallinity of carbon nitride support, size and dispersity of active-metal nanoparticles(NPs), and surface engineering of composites have great roles in generation and separation of photogenerated charge carries and photocatalyzed organic reactions for the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy. Herein, we deposited well-dispersed Pd NPs with small size on crystallized carbon nitride(CN–C) to construct a Schottky-type Pd/CN–C hybrid for photocatalyzed Ullmann C–C homocoupling of aryl halides under visible light irradiation at room temperature. Compared to Pd NPs supported g-C_3N_4(Pd/g-C_3N_4), Pd/CN–C exhibits excellent visible light photocatalytic activity for Ullmann C–C coupling of aryl halides due to high crystallinity of CN–C support, high dispersion and smaller size of Pd NPs, and the interfacial heterojunction of Pd/CN–C. Upon visible light irradiation, more photogenerated electrons from CN–C flow across the Schottky junction to metallic Pd and trigger the Ullmann C–C coupling of aryl halides. The photogenerated holes on CN–C surface are captured by a protic solvent(such as EtOH). In the presence of base K_2CO_3, the solvent undergoes dissociation, dehydrogenation, and finally can be oxidized by captured photogenerated holes. Moreover, Pd/CN–C has general applicability for various substrates and shows excellent stability and reusability for more than nine cycles.

Influence of High Temperature Treatment on the Performance of Nickel-Induced Laterally Crystallized Thin Film Transistors

Well known for their good performance,thin film transistors (TFTs) with active layers which were nickel induced laterally crystallized,are fabricated by conventional process of dual gate CMOS.The influence of pre high temperature treatment of device fabrication on the performance of TFTs is also investigated.The experiment shows that the high temperature treatment affects the performance of the devices strongly.The best performance is obtained by adopting pre treatment of 1000℃.The mobility of 314cm 2/(V·s) is obtained at NMOS TFTs with pre treatment of 1000℃,which is 10% and 22% higher than that treated at 1100℃ and without pre high temperature treatment,respectively.A maximum on/off current ratio of 3×10 8 is also obtained at 1000℃.Further investigation of uniformity verifies that the result is reliable.

Characterization of recrystallized itraconazole prepared by cooling and anti-solvent crystallization

The objective of the present study was to alter the crystal habit of itraconazole(ITZ)by cooling and anti-solvent crystallization and characterize its properties.ITZ was recrystallized in different solvents and the effects of each solvent on morphology of crystals,dissolution behavior and solid state of recrystallized drug particles were investigated.The results revealed that ITZ crystals recrystallized by cooling and anti-solvent crystallization showed the different crystal habits from the untreated ITZ.Using cooling crystallization tended to provide needle-shaped crystals while the crystals obtained from anti-solvent crystallization showed more flaky,plate shape.This indicated the importance of preparation method on nucleation and crystal growth.No change in drug polymorphism was observed,according to determination of thermal property and crystalline state by differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffractometry,respectively.The recrystallized ITZ showed higher drug dissolution than untreated ITZ and the highest drug dissolution was observed from the samples recrystallized in the presence of PEG 200,which provided the small plate-shaped crystals with tremendously increased in surface area.However,the increasing of drug dissolution is relatively small,therefore,further development may be required.

Crystallization of amorphous silicon beyond the crystallized polycrystalline silicon region induced by metal nickel

Crystallization of amorphous silicon（a-Si） which starts from the middle of the a-Si region separating two adjacent metal-induced crystallization（MIC） polycrystalline silicon（poly-Si） regions is observed. The crystallization is found to be related to the distance between the neighboring nickel-introducing MIC windows. Trace nickel that diffuses from the MIC window into the a-Si matrix during the MIC heat-treatment is experimentally discovered, which is responsible for the crystallization of the a-Si beyond the MIC front. A minimum diffusion coefficient of 1.84×10^-9cm^2/s at 550℃ is estimated for the trace nickel diffusion in a-Si.

Effect of Electrostatic Reduced Gravity Environment on the Crystallographic Parameters of Melt Crystallized Polypropylene

An electrostatic reduced gravity device was developed and used specially for the study of the melt crystallization of polypropylene. The crystal structure of melt crystallized polypropylene prepared under the reduced gravity environment was investigated by using X ray diffraction. The experiment results show that the crystal structure of the polypropylene is strongly dependent on the gravity applied to the sample during solidification. It is found that the crystallographic parameters a and b increase markedly with reduced gravity ratio, while the value of c increases mildly.

Mössbauer Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction Studies of the Phase Composition of Crystallized Nd_(x)Fe_(81.5-x)B_(18.5) Alloys with 7 ≤ x ≤15

The phase composition of melt-spun Nd-Fe-B with intermediate and high Nd concentrations has been studied by Mössbauer effect.Based on the knowledge of the ^(57)Fe hyperfine parameters for Nd_(2)Fe_(14)B,Nd_(2)Fe_(23)B_(3),and Nd_(1.1)Fe_(4)B_(4),the phases produced during annealing Nd-Fe-B amorphous alloys can be identified.It is found that the Nd_(x)Fe_(81.5-x)B_(18.5) samples with 7≤x≤9 contain the Nd_(2)Fe_(23)B_(3) metastable phase and the Nd1.1Fe4B4 paramagnetic phase.The body-centered-cubic structure of Nd_(2)Fe_(23)B_(3) cannot generate the hard magnetic properties.The samples with 12≤x≤15 consist of the Nd_(2)Fe_(14)B hard magnetic phase and the Nd1.1Fe4B4 paramagnetic phase.The large coercivity for the high Nd content Nd-Fe-B originates from the very fine size of Nd_(2)Fe_(14)B grains below the particle size of the single domain,which may contribute to a pinning effect of domain wall.

Pyrene Nanocrystals Crystallized by a Continuous Flow Microreactor

Pyrene solution and distilled water were flowed through a microreactor at a predetermined flow rate to generate pyrene crystals. Pyrene nanocrystals were crystallized by a Continuous Flow Microreactor. The particle size and luminescence properties of pyrene nanocrystals produced were evaluated. The crystal mean size between 60 nm and 400 nm could be controlled by the operating conditions. The crystal mean size decreased with increasing flow rate and solution concentration. In addition, the crystal morphology also changed. In the case of slow flow conditions, a needle-like crystal morphology was obtained. The crystal morphology became spherical on increasing the flow rate. Pyrene crystals with size about 400 nm exhibited luminescence at about 470 nm. As the crystal size decreased, the intensity of the luminescence also declined. The luminescence wavelength was in the range of about 370 to 400 nm.

Effects of Sm content on crystallized structure and magnetic properties of Co80-xSmxb20 amorphous alloys

The formation,thermal stability,crystallized structure,and magnetic properties of melt-spun Co80-xSmxB20(x=0–20)amorphous alloys have been investigated.A single amorphous phase is formed for the alloys with x=0–15.The first crystallization temperature gradually increases from 670 to 955 K as x increases from 0 to 10,and decreases to 836K when x=15.After optimum annealing,the nanocomposite structure consisting of SmCo12B6+fcc-Co+Sm2Co17 phases is formed for the alloys with x=5 and 7.5,and SmCo12B6+Sm2Co17+SmCo3,SmCo12B6+Sm2Co17+SmCo4B,and SmCo12B6+SmCo4B phases are formed for the alloys with x=10,12.5,and 15,respectively.The coercivity of the annealed alloys increases remarkably from 103.5 to 1249.4 kA m^-1 as x increases from 5 to 15,while the magnetization at the applied field of 2.0T decreases from 0.51 to 0.16T.The improved magnetic hardness with rising Sm content is attributed to the formation of the hard magnetic phases with higher magnetocrystalline anisotropy and the increase in their volume fraction.

Influence of introducing Zr,Ti,Nb and Ce elements on externally solidified crystals and mechanical properties of high-pressure die-casting Al–Si alloy

High pressure die casting(HPDC)AlSi10Mn Mg alloy castings are widely used in the automobile industry.Mg can optimize the mechanical properties of castings through heat treatment,while the release of thermal stress arouses the deformation of large integrated die-castings.Herein,the development of non-heat treatment Al alloys is becoming the hot topic.In addition,HPDC contains externally solidified crystals(ESCs),which are detrimental to the mechanical properties of castings.To achieve high strength and toughness of non-heat treatment die-casting Al-Si alloy,we used AlSi9Mn alloy as matrix with the introduction of Zr,Ti,Nb,and Ce.Their influences on ESCs and mechanical properties were systematically investigated through three-dimensional reconstruction and thermodynamic simulation.Our results reveal that the addition of Ti increased ESCs'size and porosity,while the introduction of Nb refined ESCs and decreased porosity.Meanwhile,large-sized Al_3(Zr,Ti)phases formed and degraded the mechanical properties.Subsequent introduction of Ce resulted in the poisoning effect and reduced mechanical properties.

Tunable Curie temperature and magnetocaloric effect of FeCrMoCBYNi bulk metallic glass with different crystallized phases

The investigation on Curie temperature and magnetocaloric effect of the FeCrMoCBYNi bulk metallic glass(BMG) with different crystallized phases was carried out by XRD,TEM and PPMS. The experimental results show that the Curie temperature(T_c) of Fe_(45)Cr_(15)Mo_(14)C_(15)B_6 Y_2 Ni_3 BMG with different annealing condition reaches a highest value of 95 K. The value of magnetic entropy change △S_M(T) of Sample 3 reaches a maxima of 0.48 J/(kg·K) at Tc temperature, which result from the interaction among the precipitated phases of(Fe,Cr)_(23)(C,B)_6, Fe_3 Mo_3 C and residual amorphous phase. Based on the experiment results, it can be obtained that the Curie temperature, magnetocaloric effect can reach their optimal value at low temperature, when the content of amorphous phase and precipitated phases type run up to certain value. The magnetic properties of Sample 1 with full amorphous phase and Sample 4 with full crystalline phase will both decrease.

Selected area laser-crystallized polycrystalline silicon thin films by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with 355 nm wavelength

Selected area laser-crystallized polycrystalline silicon （p-Si） thin films were prepared by the third harmonics （355 nm wavelength） generated by a solid-state pulsed Nd：YAG laser. Surface morphologies of 400 nm thick films after laser irradiation were analyzed. Raman spectra show that film crystallinity is improved with in- crease of laser energy. The optimum laser energy density is sensitive to the film thickness. The laser energy density for efficiently crystallizing amorphous silicon films is between 440-634 mJ/cm^2 for 300 nm thick films and between 777-993 mJ/cm^2 for 400 nm thick films. The optimized laser energy density is 634, 975 and 1571 mJ/cm^2 for 300, 400 and 500 nm thick films, respectively.

Lamellar thickness transition of melt-crystallized polybuten-1 tetragonal phase: configurational change in chain folding directions

Lamellar crystal thickness lc of isotactic polybutene-1(it-PB1)have been investigated for crystal-lization in the melt over a wide range of crystallization temperature T from 40°C to 90°C by small angle X-ray scattering experiments and density measurements.The crystal thickness lc demonstrates two linear dependences on inverse supercooling and a transition from one dependence to the other has been observed around T=65°C.Each of the two dependences obeys the nucleation theory in the high and low supercooling ranges,respec-tively.Chain folding free energy q determined from the low supercooling range is larger than that determined from the high supercooling range.Possible mechanisms for the transition are discussed taking account of entropy of chain folding directions.

Preliminary study on the possible new modification of isotactic polypropylene crystallized under high pressure

Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) has complex polymorphic structures. It can crystallize in at least four different modifications, termed α, β, γ and δ, under different crystallization conditions. The modifications of iPP and their transitions have attracted much attention over the years. Studies on the relationships between the modifications and the possibility of formation of new modification are significantly important to investigation on the relationships between structure and properties of iPP. In this note,

Efficient nanostructured heterogeneous catalysts by electrochemical etching of partially crystallized Fe-based metallic glass ribbons

Although an increasing interest has been attracted to further develop heterostructured catalysts from metallic glasses(MGs) by heat treatment, overcoming surface oxidation effect is still a critical problem for such environmental catalysts. Herein, a short-time electrochemical etching of partially crystallized Febased ribbons in 0.3 M H3 PO4 electrolyte enables the formation of honeycomb-like nanoporous structure as effective catalytic active sites in Fenton-like process. Studies of structure and surface morphologies reveal that the formation of nanoporous structure by potentiostatic etching originates from electrochemical potential difference of nanocrystals(a-Fe(Si) and Fe2 B) and residual amorphous phase in partially crystallized ribbons, where Fe2 B having a lower open circuit potential tends to be selectively dissolved.Simultaneously, thin oxide layer after electrochemical etching exposes more active sites for H2 O2 activation and provides an effective protection of nanocrystals from massive loss during etching. Investigation of optimal processing conditions suggests that the selection of electrolyte plays an important role;dye degradation rates of etched ribbons in HNO3 and Na2 SO4 electrolytes can also achieve at least 2 times higher than that of as-annealed ribbons. This work holds the promise to develop novel environmental catalysts by effective electrochemical etching of partially crystallized ribbons.
