Quantum-mechanical study of effect of lattice defects on surface properties and copper activation of sphalerite surface

The electronic properties of sphalerite(110)surface bearing Fe,Mn and Cd impurities were calculated using density-functional theory,and the effects of impurities on the copper activation of sphalerite were investigated.Calculated results indicate that both Fe and Mn impurities narrow the band gap of sphalerite surface and lead to the Fermi level shifting to conduction band.Impurity levels composed of Fe 3d and Mn 3d orbital appearing in band gap are beneficial to electrons transfer from the valence band to the conduction band and promote the surface conductivity and the electrochemical activity.The results show that Fe and Mn impurities cannot be replaced by Cu atom,which reduces the exchange sites(Zn)for Cu atom,hence Fe-and Mn-bearing sphalerites are hard to be activated by copper.Cd impurity has little effect on electronic structure of sphalerite surface;however,Cd atom is easily replaced by Cu atom,and this is the reason why the Cd-bearing sphalerite can be easily floated.

Influence of impurities on microstructure and mechanical properties of ZK60 magnesium alloy

The influence of impurity content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ZK60 magnesium alloys was investigated by optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy and tensile test.ZK60 alloys were prepared by changing holding time of alloy melt during semi-continuous casting in order to control the content of impurity elements.The alloy with lower purity content is found to have less second precipitates and larger grain size in the as-cast state.However,in the as-extruded state,reducing impurities brings about a decrease in grain size and an increase in yield strength from 244 MPa to 268 MPa,while the elongations in the as-extruded alloys with different contents of impurities are almost the same.After T5 treatment,impurity content is found to have more obvious effect on the yield strength of ZK60 alloy.The yield strength of ZK60-45 alloys with low impurity content is increased up to 295 MPa after T5 treatment.

Effects of Vibration Technology and Polyvinyl Acetate Emulsion on Microstructure and Properties of Expanded Polystyrene Lightweight Concrete

To prevent expanded polystyrene （EPS） beads from rising up to the surface in the molding process of EPS lightweight concrete, vibration with pressure was applied and the polyvinyl acetate （PVA） emulsion was adopted to improve its mechanical properties. The mechanical properties, thermal properties and durability of EPS lightweight concrete were tested. The microstruetures of EPS lightweight concrete were observed by scanning electron microscope （SEM）. Vibration with pressure reduces the number of small cracks. The 180 d compressive strength and flexural strength increase obviously as a large amount of PVA was added. The mixed amount of PVA has no obvious influence on the thermal performance when it is not more than 10% of the cement. Vibration with pressure and surface modification of EPS beads by PVA improve the combination of EPS beads with cement stone and the mechanical properties of EPS lightweight concrete.

Stabilities and Dynamics of Protein Folding Nuclei by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

To understand how the stabilities of key nuclei fragments affect protein folding dynamics, we simulate by molecular dynamics （MD） simulation in aqueous solution four fragments cut out of a protein G, including one a-helix （seqB： KVFKQYAN）, two -turns （seqA： LNGKTLKG and seqC： YDDATKTF）, and one -strand （seqD： DGEWTYDD）. The Markov State Model clustering method combined with the coarse-grained conformation letters method are employed to analyze the data sampled from 2-#s equilibrium MD simulation trajectories. We find that seqA and seqB have more stable structures than their native structures which become metastable when cut out of the protein structure. As expected, seqD alone is flexible and does not have a stable structure. Throughout our simulations, the native structure of seqC is stable but cannot be reached if starting from a structure other than the native one, implying a funnel-shape free energy landscape of seqC in aqueous solution. All the above results suggest that different nuclei have different formation dynamics during protein folding, which may have a major contribution to the hierarchy of protein folding dynamics.
