Studies on the tribological properties of HFCVD diamond films coated on Co-cemented tungsten carbide （WC-Co） substrates are rarely reported in available literatures, especially in the water lubricating conditions. In this paper, conventional microcrystalline diamond（MCD） and fine-grained diamond（FGD） films are deposited on WC-Co substrates and their friction properties are evaluated on a reciprocating ball-on-plate tribometer, where they are brought to slide against ball-bearing steel and copper balls in dry and water lubricating conditions. Scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, atomic force microscopy（AFM）, surface profilometer and Raman spectroscopy are adopted to characterize as-deposited diamond films; SEM and energy dispersive X-ray（EDX） are used to investigate the worn region on the surfaces of both counterface balls and diamond films. The research results show that the friction coefficient of HFCVD diamond films always starts with a high initial value, and then gradually transits to a relative stable state. For a given counterface and a sliding condition, the FGD film presents lower stable friction coefficients by 0.02-0.03 than MCD film. The transferred materials adhered on sliding interface are supposed to have predominate effect on the friction behaviors of HFCVD diamond films. Furthermore, the effect of water lubricating on reducing friction coefficient is significant. For a given counterpart, the stable friction coefficients of MCD or FGD films reduce by about 0.07-0.08 while sliding in the water lubricating condition, relative to in dry sliding condition. This study is beneficial for widespread applications of HFCVD diamond coated mechanical components and adopting water lubricating system, replacing ofoil lubricating, in a variety of mechanical processing fields to implement the green production process.展开更多

The x-ray diffraction pattern and the scanning electron microscope image of the cross-sectional profile of the SBT nanometer film are depicted. The memristive mechanism is inferred. The mathematical model M（q） = 12.3656 - 267.4038｜q（t）｜is calculated, where M（q） denotes the memristance depending on the quantity of electric charge, and q（t） denotes the quantity of electric charge depending on the time. The theoretical I-V characteristics of the SBT nanometer film are obtained by the mathematical model. The results show that the theoretical I-V characteristics are consistent with the measured I-V characteristics. Moreover, the mathematical model could guide the research on applications of the memristor.展开更多

The crystal structure and surface morphology of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis and atomic force microscopy(AFM), respectively. The electrochemical hydridation/dehydridation behaviors of the films in KOH solution were studied by using cyclic voltammagraph and electrochemical impedance spectrum(EIS) as well. The AFM results show that the Pt cover layer on the Ml films is of island structure with a grain of 150200 nm in size. The presence of a thin Pt layer can provide sufficient high electrocatalytic activity for the electrochemical charge-transfer reaction. The electrochemical reduction and oxidation reaction occur on the Pt layer, and the diffusion of H into the Ml film is the rate-controlled step. The Pt coatings also act as protective layers, preventing oxidation and/or poisoning of the underlying Ml films in air.展开更多

FTIR, UV-Vis and CD spectra suggest that Hb kept its original structure in the AA-PEGMA copolymer film without denaturation. A pair of well-defined, quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks at around –270 mV vs. saturated calomel electrode（SCE） for the Hb Fe（III）/Fe（II） redox couple was observed on the film-modified electrode in phos phate buffer solution（PBS, pH=7.0）. The formal potential of Hb/AA-PEGMA copolymer film-modified electrode is linearly dependent on solution pH with a slope of –46.3 mV/pH, illustrating that one-proton transfer was accompa nied with each electron transfer. Furthermore, the modified electrode displayed electrocatalytic response to the reduc tion of H2O2 with a linear range of 3.5―126 μmol/L and a detection limit of 1.17 μmol/L. In conclusion, the AA-PEGMA copolymer film was proved to be an excellent matrix for the immobilization and electrochemistry of proteins.展开更多

The resulted films were characterized with water-contact angle measurement and infrared spectroscopy. The friction-reducing behavior of the prepared films was examined on a static-dynamic friction coefficient measurement apparatus and on an atomic force microscope. It was found that all the reacted films on the Si substrate showed good friction-reducing ability; especially, the film of the octadecene exhibited the best friction-reducing ability. This was attributed to the transfer of the reacted films onto the counter face with formation of a transfer film on the counterpart surface, which led to the transformation of the sliding between the reacted films and the hard ceramic to fiat between the reacted films and its transfer film on the counterpart surface. The macroscopic and microscopic friction behaviors of the prepared films were dependent on their molecular chain lengths. Thus the octadecene reacted film with the highest degree of ordering arrangement showed the best friction-reducing and antiwear abilities in sliding against Si3N4.展开更多

The experimental results show that the oxide scale growing on Fe26Cr1Mo exposed at 900 ℃ spalled severely during cooling, while after the stainless steel was coated with the Ni La 2O 3 electrodeposited composite film, its high temperature cyclic oxidation resistance was significantly improved. The reason is that a La 2O 3 modified NiO scale, which has a superior adhesion to the substrate, was formed on the Fe26Cr1Mo stainless steel coated with Ni La 2O 3 composite film.展开更多

Microstructure, crystal structure, martensitic transformation behavior, and magnetic properties of the films were studied. With increasing deposition temperature, the surface morphology of the films transforms from granular to continu- ous. The martensitic transformation temperature is not dependent on deposition temperature; while transformation behavior is affected substantially by deposition temperature. X-ray analysis reveals that the film deposited at 873 K has a 7M marten- site phase, and its magnetization curve provides a typical step-increase, indicating the occurrence of magnetically induced reorientation （MIR）. In situ magnetic domain structure observation on the film deposited at 873 K reflects that the marten- sitic transformation could be divided into two periods： nucleation and growth, in the form of stripe domains. The MIR occurs at the temperature at which martensitic transformation starts, and the switching field increases with the decrease of temperature due to damped thermal activation. The magnetically induced martensitic transformation is related to the difference of magnetization between martensite and austenite. A shift of martensite temperature of dT/dH = 0.43 K/T is observed, consistent with the theoretical value, 0.41 K/T.展开更多

The structures and magnetic behaviors are characterized by several techniques, in which the oxygen states in the lattice and the absorptive oxygen bonds at the surface are carefully examined. The absorptive oxygen bond is about 50% of the total oxygen bond by using a semi-quantitative method. The value of actual stoichiometry δ′ is close to 2. The experimental results indicate that the thin films are of a cerium oxide-based solid solution with few oxygen vacancies in the lattice and many absorptive oxygen bonds at the surface. Week ferromagnetic behaviors were evidenced by observed M-H hysteresis loops at room temperature. Furthermore, an evidence of relative ferromagnetic contributions was revealed by the temperature dependence of magnetization. It is believed that the ferromagnetic contributions exhibited in the M-H loops originate from the absorptive oxygen on the surface rather than the oxygen vacancies in the lattice.展开更多

The roughness and dynamic scaling behavior of the Fe-N thin films were studied by atomic force microscopy and grazing incidence X-ray scattering. The results indicate that the roughness of the surface increases with increasing sputtering time during the course of magnetron sputtering, and the surface exhibits a fractal characteristic. While the Fe-N films prepared by compound technology—combining magnetron sputtering with plasma based ion implantation are not in agreement with the fractal theory.展开更多
