The synthesized catalysts were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area measurement BET, vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) and tem- perature-programmed reduction (TPR). The experimental results demonstrated that the magnetic Pd/La1-xPbxMnO3 (x = 0.4-0.5) obtain relative better catalytic activity. It can be explained by higher concentration of oxygen vacan- cies, larger amount and better mobility of lattice oxygen of their support. Furthermore, these samples possess suffi- cient saturated magnetization. Thus, Pd/La1-xPbxMnO3 (x = 0.4-0.5) may be suitable for operation in the magneti- cally stabilized bed reactor.展开更多

X-ray diffraction mea- surements reveal all peaks belong to the purely hexagonal wurtzite structure. Surface mor- phology and composition analysis were carried out by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy respectively. The room temperature ferromagnetic proper- ties of Gal-xHoxN (x=0.0, 0.05) films were analyzed using vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature. Magnetic measurements showed that the undoped films (i.e. GaN) exhibited diamagnetic behavior, while the Ho-doped (Gao.95Hoo.05N) film exhibited a ferro- magnetic behavior.展开更多

The phase component, microstructures, magnetic properties and thermal conductivities of the prepared glass ceramics were investigated by using X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and thermophysical properties tester, respectively. The results show that orthorhombic olivine-type phase and triclinic sunstone-type phase formed when the glass was annealed at 700 oC, the concentration of olivine-type and sunstone-type phases decreased, the spinel-type cubic phase occurred and the amount increased when the annealing temperatures increased. The magnetic properties from the cubic spinel ferrites were detected in the glass ceramics, and the related saturation magnetization increased with the annealing temperature increasing. The porous glass ceramics with magnetic property showed much lower thermal conductivity, compared with the non-magnetic porous glass-ceramic and the dense glass-ceramics.展开更多

A laboratory test cell was designed and applied to evaluate the vacuum preloading combined electroosmosis. Several factors were taken into consideration, including the directions of the electroosmotic current and water induced by vacuum preloading and the replenishment of groundwater from the surrounding area. The results indicate that electroosmosis together with vacuum preloading improve the soil strength greatly, with an increase of approximately 60%, and reduce the water content of the soil on the basis of consolidation of vacuum preloading, howeve~ further settlement is not obvious with only 1.7 mm. The reinforcement effect of vacuum preloading combined electroosmosis is better than that of electroosmosis after vacuum preloading. Elemental analysis using X-ray fluorescence proves that the soil strengthening during electroosmotic period in this work is mainly caused by electroosmosis-induced electrochemical reactions, the concentrations of Al2O3 in the VPCEO region increase by 2.2%, 1.5%, and 0.9% at the anode, the midpoint between the electrodes, and the cathode, respectively.展开更多

The effect of tem- perature on mudstone composition and fracture mechanism were studied from a meso-structural per- spective, and the relationship between meso-structure and macro-mechanical characteristics at high temperature was revealed. The findings demonstrated that the fluctuation in diffraction intensity of kao- linite in the mudstone caused the fluctuation in its mechanical properties. The overall structure under- went a phase change around 600℃, which led to the sudden change in the mechanical properties of mudstone samples. When the temperature reached 600 ℃, the crystalline state worsened and kaolinite disappeared; however, some illite was produced, indicating that the chemical reaction of the structure and sudden drop of bearing capacity of the mudstone. Mudst0ne fracturing at high temperature involves mainly intergranular and transgranular fractures, which are typical in micro-brittle tensile failure. Con- sidering the macro-fracture characteristics of mudstone, the results suggested that macro-fracture under external force corresoonds to the meso-fracture.展开更多

For certain hyperon coupling, the weaker hyperon-hyperon interaction can lead to the heavier hadronic star, which accords with the observation of heavy neutron star in X-ray binaries. We find that the threshold densities of the hyperons with larger masses are brought to a lower values with the increase of the hyperon-hyperon interaction. The possibility of the existence of hyperon star is checked with the consideration of hyperon-hyperon interaction.展开更多

Graphene oxide (GO) and chloroplatinic acid were reduced to RGO and Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) simultaneously, and Pt/RGO composite was deposited on the fluorine doped SnO2 glass during the electrochemical reduction. The Pt/RGO composite was characterized by field emission-scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which confirmed the reduction of GO and chloroplatinic acid and the formation of Pt/RGO composite. In comparison with Pt NPs and RGO electrodes obtained by the same method, results of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spec- troscopy measurements showed that the composite electrode had higher catalytic activity and charge transfer rate. In addition, the composite electrode had proved to have better performance in DSSCs than the Pt NPs electrode, which showed the poten- tial application in energy conversion.展开更多

The effects of zirconium content on the glass-forming ability (GFA), thermal properties and mechanical properties were investigated using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and mechanical testing system in compressive and three-point bending modes, respectively. The high-zirconium BMGs show the critical diameters of 3-5 ram, the supercooled liquid region ranging from 70 K to 99 K, and the yield strength of over 1700 MPa. The Zr70Al7(Ni1/3Cu2/3)23 BMG exhibits a large compressive plastic strain up to 21% and a high notch toughness value of 60.6 MPa m1/2. The increase in Zr content results in the decrease in GFA and thermostability, and in the improvement of plasticity under compressive and three-point bending conditions. The superior plasticity of high-zirconium BMGs is at- tributed to their high Poisson's ratio and small elastic modulus ratioμl/B.展开更多
