The nonlinear propagation in photonic-crystal fibers (PCF) of femtosecond pulse laser with central wavelength at 800.9 nm is studied with scalar wave theory. Based on the incident laser power and dispersion of PCF, super broadband source for multiplex CARS microscopy is designed.展开更多

The resulting microstructure and textures were studied using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD) and compared with the conventionally manufactured form. A notable distinct difference of microstructures is that additive manufacturing by SEBM enables homogeneous precipitation of fine Y2O3 dispersoids in the size range of 50-250 nm throughout the as-fabricated alloy, despite the presence of just trace levels of oxygen(7×10-4, mass fraction) and yttrium(10-3, mass fraction) in the alloy. In contrast, the conventionally manufactured alloy shows inhomogeneously distributed coarse Y2O3 precipitates, including cracked or debonded Y2O3 particles.展开更多

For comparative purposes, bulk NiMo catalysts were obtained by co-precipitation. The silica-dispersed NiMo catalyst had highly active metals content. Silica was employed to disperse active metals for full utilization of active components. The BET analysis showed that the silica-dispersed NiMo catalysts had a high surface area （147.0 m2/g） and pore volume （0.27 mL/g）, whereas the bulk NiMo catalysts exhibited a very low surface area （87.5 m2/g）. Transmission electron microscopy results proved that the active components were dispersed on the SiO2 substrate. X-ray diffraction patterns of the silicadispersed NiMo catalyst and the bulk NiMo catalyst were indexed to NiMoO4. The hydrodesulfurization activity of silicadispersed NiMo catalysts was much higher than that of reference catalysts and could be up to twice greater than those of commercial NiMo alumina-supported systems per gram of catalyst. The activity testing results also demonstrated that the silica-dispersed NiMo catalyst was an effective hydrodesulflarization catalyst.展开更多

The ...The main problem in an efficient Zn（CH3COO）2/AC （AC-activated carbon） catalyst preparation is the achievement of uniform distribution of highly dispersed salt component on the activated carbon （AC） surface. The solution of this problem is modification of the AC by hydrogen peroxide （H202） oxidation of the surface and treatment of AC with acetic acid as well as special methods of salt deposition and catalyst drying. The investigations of these ways of AC surface modification （treatment of AC with acetic acid and H2O2） have demonstrated the obtained AC to have both an increased adsorption capacity as to Zn（OAc）2 and optimum volumes of meso- and micro-pores as well as high catalyst activity in vinyl acetate （VA） synthesis. The characteristics of supports and catalysts were found out by benzene, water and acetic acid vapors adsorption. The distribution of the salt on the AC surface was studied by small-angle X-ray scattering （SAXS）, by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray micro-analysis （XMA）. The catalysts were tested in vinyl acetate synthesis in flow-bed isothermal reactor by cyclic method at 175, 205 and 230℃.展开更多

After exfoliation corrosion immersion, blisters and corrosion pits can be seen on the sheet surface, which lead to loss of materials and notches. A number of intergranular cracks are observed to initiate at the bottom of the corrosion-induced notches and propagate rapidly into the bulk materials during tensile. Consequently, exfoliation corrosion results in significant loss of strength and brittle fracture. EBSD results show that the crack propagation path is primarily along the grain boundaries with misorientation of-45°, and coincidence site lattice （CSL） boundaries are slightly more resistant to crack.展开更多

Adherent diamond film with crystalline grains close to thermal equilibrium shape was tightly deposited by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition(HF-CVD). The nucleation and growth of diamond were investigated with micro-Raman spectroscope and field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray detector(EDX). Results show that the nucleation density is found to be up to 1010 cm-2. The enhancement of the nucleation kinetics can be attributed to the nanometer rough Ti interlayer surface. An improved absorption of nanodiamond particles is found, which act as starting points for the diamond nucleation during HF-CVD process. Furthermore, finite element simulation was conducted to understand the thermal management properties of prepared diamond/Cu microchannel heat sink.展开更多
