We report on the single crystal growth and superconducting properties of PbTaSe2 with the non-centrosymmetric crystal structure. By using the chemicM vapor transport technique, centimeter-size single crystals are success- fully obtained. The measurement of temperature dependence of electricaJ resistivity p（T） in both normal and superconducting states indicates a quasi-two-dimensional electronic state in contrast to that of polycrystalline samples.

All these results are in agreement with a moderately electron-phonon coupled, type-g Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor.

The Sm^（3＋）-doped SrO-Al2O3-SiO2（SAS） glass-ceramics with excellent luminescence properties were prepared by batch melting and heat treatment. The crystallization behavior and luminescent properties of the glass-ceramics were investigated by DTA, XRD, SEM and luminescence spectroscopy. The results indicate that the crystal phase precipitated in this system is monocelsian（SrAl2Si2O） and with the increase of nucleation/crystallization temperature, the crystallite increases from 66 % to 79 %. The Sm（3＋）-doped SAS glass-ceramics emit green, orange and red lights centered at 565, 605, 650 and 715 nm under the excitation of 475 nm blue light which can be assigned to the 4 G5/2→6 Hj/2（j=5, 7, 9, 11） transitions ofSm^（3＋）, respectively. Besides, by increasing the crystallization temperature or the concentration ofSm^（3＋）, the emission lights of the samples located at 565, 605 and 650 nm are intensified significantly. The present results demonstrate that theSm^（3＋）-doped SAS glassceramics are promising luminescence materials for white LED devices by fine controlling and combining of these three green, orange and red lights in appropriate proportion.

The aim of this paper was to prepare an artificial bile duct using polytetrafluoroethylene( PTFE) for the development of a new treatment for biliary diseases. The basic properties of the PTFE material,such as crystallization properties,were characterized; the surface structures of the sample tubes were observed by scanning electron microscope( SEM) and water permeability test of different tubes was evaluated by osmosis device. Six Shanghai white pigs were selected to do the implantation surgery of the artificial bile ducts. After 90 days,the artificial bile ducts were removed from the pigs and characterized by electron microscope in order to study the tissue compatibility. The results of animal test indicated that the artificial bile duct had good tissue compatibility. This new artificial bile duct shows great potential for the treatment of biliary diseases.

Research on mold flux for hypo-peritectic steel at high casting speed

Mold fluxes having adaptable properties were developed in the laboratory to solve quality defects, such as depressions and longitudinal cracks when casting hypo-peritectic steel at high casting speed. Firstly, the effect of components on the high basicity mold flux properties was first studied using the orthogonal method. In the scope of the studied content, Li2O has the largest effect on the melting temperature, and the least effect on the viscosity; CaF2 has the largest effect on the viscosity, and the least effect on the melting temperature; Na2O and CaO/SiO2 have no obvious influence on the melting temperature and viscosity. Secondly, two powders （Z1 and Z6） have reasonable viscosity-temperature curves, higher solidification temperatures, and porous structure after solidification, but the crystal property of Z6 is worse than that of Z1, and thus Z1 is more suitable for continuous casting hypo-peritectic steel at high casting speed. Thirdly, a higher basicity of powder, a less free enthalpy of crystal compound, and a lower baffle energy are good for a higher tendentiousness of crystal.
