A novel self-alignment method for high precision silicon diffraction microlens arrays preparation and its integration with infrared focal plane arrays

Silicon(Si)diffraction microlens arrays are usually used to integrating with infrared focal plane arrays(IRFPAs)to improve their performance.The errors of lithography are unavoidable in the process of the Si diffrac-tion microlens arrays preparation in the conventional engraving method.It has a serious impact on its performance and subsequent applications.In response to the problem of errors of Si diffraction microlens arrays in the conven-tional method,a novel self-alignment method for high precision Si diffraction microlens arrays preparation is pro-posed.The accuracy of the Si diffractive microlens arrays preparation is determined by the accuracy of the first li-thography mask in the novel self-alignment method.In the subsequent etching,the etched area will be protected by the mask layer and the sacrifice layer or the protective layer.The unprotection area is carved to effectively block the non-etching areas,accurately etch the etching area required,and solve the problem of errors.The high precision Si diffraction microlens arrays are obtained by the novel self-alignment method and the diffraction effi-ciency could reach 92.6%.After integrating with IRFPAs,the average blackbody responsity increased by 8.3%,and the average blackbody detectivity increased by 10.3%.It indicates that the Si diffraction microlens arrays can improve the filling factor and reduce crosstalk of IRFPAs through convergence,thereby improving the perfor-mance of the IRFPAs.The results are of great reference significance for improving their performance through opti-mizing the preparation level of micro nano devices.

Digital core based transmitted ultrasonic wave simulation and velocity accuracy analysis

Transmitted ultrasonic wave simulation （TUWS） in a digital core is one of the important elements of digital rock physics and is used to study wave propagation in porous cores and calculate equivalent velocity. When simulating wave propagates in a 3D digital core, two additional layers are attached to its two surfaces vertical to the wave-direction and one planar wave source and two receiver-arrays are properly installed. After source excitation, the two receivers then record incident and transmitted waves of the digital rock. Wave propagating velocity, which is the velocity of the digital core, is computed by the picked peak-time difference between the two recorded waves. To evaluate the accuracy of TUWS, a digital core is fully saturated with gas, oil, and water to calculate the corresponding velocities. The velocities increase with decreasing wave frequencies in the simulation frequency band, and this is considered to be the result of scattering. When the pore fluids are varied from gas to oil and finally to water, the velocity-variation characteristics between the different frequencies are similar, thereby approximately following the variation law of velocities obtained from linear elastic statics simulation （LESS）, although their absolute values are different. However, LESS has been widely used. The results of this paper show that the transmission ultrasonic simulation has high relative precision.

Modification of larch wood by intensive microwave irradiation

The larch wood was treated by microwave irradiation under different radiant intensity and treating duration. The microwave-treated wood specimens together with the un-treated for comparison were impregnated by water in pressure vessel and then tested for permeability, mechanical properties and microstructure change by SEM to study the modification performance of microwave treatment on larch wood. The results showed that under suitable conditions of microwave treatment the permeability of larch wood was improved without noticeable decreasing of the modulus of rupture （MOR） and the modulus of elasticity （MOE）. The radial parenchyma and some pit membrane were ruptured, and tiny cracks were formed in the cell walls. The formation of tiny cracks in the cell walls serves as man-made channels of gas and liquid and this contribute to improve the permeability of the wood.

Solar Radiation Penetrating Through Sea Ice Under Very Low Solar Altitude

Based on the optical data for transmitted radiation through sea ice in the Arctic during the late autumn and early winterof 2007,the authors studied the arriving solar radiation,reflected radiation and transmitted radiation under very low solar altitude.Through the atmosphere,the light of the arriving solar radiation at short wavelength was weakened,with the spectral distribution ofdouble peaks centered at 490 nm and 683 nm.The magnitude of the peak at 683 nm even exceeded that at 490 nm under the very lowsolar radiation condition.The reflection was lower than that in summertime because of the thin thicknesses of ice and snow,allowinghigher ratio of heat to enter the sea ice and snow.When higher ratio of solar radiation entered sea ice in late autumn,the new icefreezing would be affected.The spectral reflectivity from snow surface was almost a constant,but the reflection without snow de-creased at longer wavelengths.In the transmission spectrum,the light of 490 nm was dominant.It indicates that the radiation atlonger wavelength was weakened by sea ice.Therefore,under the condition of low solar altitude,the radiation at shorter wavelengthwas weakened by the atmosphere while the radiation at longer wavelength was weakened by the sea ice.The combined effect of at-mosphere and sea ice made the solar radiation under sea ice much weaker.The absorption of sea ice for the longer-wavelength radiation allowed the sea ice to gain more heat to slow down the freezing process.

Comparison Among Depths of Penetration of Different Targets Subjected to Rigid Projectile Impact

The ratios of depth of penetration (DOP) of different targets under the same penetration condition was investigated according to the dimensionless formula of DOP of different targets penetrated by a non-deformable projectile.Results show that various targets may be equivalent to each other.The applicable range of the equivalence and the feasibility of targets substitution were discussed by integrating the available test data.

Fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth analysis of 7050-T7451 alloy thick plate with different thicknesses

The strength, fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth resistance of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy plate with different thicknesses （35 mm and 160 ram） were investigated by means of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The results show that thicker plate has lower strength and fracture toughness but higher fatigue crack growth resistance, by comparison to the thinner plate. The drop of strength is mainly attributed to grain coarsening in the thicker plate, and the increased degree of recrystallization results in the loss of Kio However, the coarsened grains in the thicker plate make cracks deflected and closure effect enhanced due to surface roughness increased. For both of plates, in the fracture surface subjected plain strain, a transition from transgranular dimpled fracture to intergranular dimpled fracture is observed during the fracture process.

Laser ultrasonic technique for surface defects detection of 6061 aluminum alloy

In order to estimate and detect the surface defect depth of metals, the transmission method of laser ultrasonic surface waves is used in this work. The laser ultrasonic detection platform taking use of thermoelastic mechanism as acoustic signal excitation method and interference receiver as acoustic signal receiver method was built, by which B-scan images of detected specimens with surface defects were collected to establish the relationship between the transmission coefficient and depth of the surface defect. Experimental results show that the amplitude of transmitted acoustic signal is related to the depth of surface defect. At last, a fitted curve of transmission coefficient using measured experimental data is obtained to estimate depth of surface defect on the 6061 aluminum alloy. Furthermore, a surface defect depth of 0.3 mm is estimated by the fitting curve with an estimated error of 16%. Therefore, a experimental method using the transmission method by laser ultrasonic is presented in this paper.

Anticancer Peptide from Chinese Toad （Bufo Bufo Gargarizans） Skin Enhanced Sensitivity to 5-Fu in Hepatocarcinoma cells （HepG2）

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antiproliferative and apoptogenic activities of peptide extracted from the Chinese toad （Bufo bufo gargarizans） skin （TSP） and its effects on hepatocarcinoma cell line. METHODS M1-F assay was used to detect the effects of TSP （50 lig/mL and 5 ug/mL） on the proliferation and viability of Hepatocarcinoma cell line （HepG2） and liver cell line （L-02）; Flow cytometry was used in DNA content analysis to determine the cell distribution in different phases of cell cycle; Annexin V-FITC/PI stained fluorescence-activated cell sorter （FACS） and transmission electron microscope （TEM） were used to detect the apoptosis of the treated cells. RESULTS TSP could not suppress the proliferation and viability of normal liver L-02 cells, but strongly inhibited the proliferation and viability of HepG2 cells; TSP （50 μg/mL） primarily arrested the HepG2 cells at G1 phase of the cell cycle; TSP （50μg/mL） induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells and enhanced the effects of 5-Fu. CONCLUSION TSP has potent antineoplastic activity against human hepatocarcinoma cells with little toxicity to normal liver cells and can enhance the effects of 5-Fu.

Uniform AlF_3 thin layer to improve rate capability of LiNi_(1/3)Co_(1/3) Mn_(1/3)O_2 material for Li-ion batteries

LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was coated with uniform nano-sized AlF3 layer by chemical precipitation method to improve its rate capability.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD),transmission electron microscopy (TEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS),charge-discharge cycling,cyclic voltammetry (CV),and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).Uniform coated layer with a thickness of about 3 nm was observed on the surface of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 particle by TEM.At 0.5C and 2C rates,1.5% (mass fraction) AlF3-coated LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2/Li in 2.8-4.3 V versus Li/Li+ after 80 cycles showed less than 3% of capacity fading,while those of the bare one were 16.5% and 45.9%,respectively.At 5C rate,the capacity retention of the coated sample after 50 cycles maintained 91.4% of the initial discharge capacity,while that of the bare one decreased to 52.6%.EIS result showed that a little change of charge transfer resistance of the coated sample resulting from uniform thin AlF3 layer was proposed as the main reason why its rate capability was improved obviously.CV result further indicated a greater reversibility for the electrode processes and better electrochemical performance of AlF3-coated layer.

Effect of a novel three-step aging on strength, stress corrosion cracking and microstructure of AA7085

The influence of a novel three-step aging on strength, stress corrosion cracking(SCC) and microstructure of AA7085 was investigated by tensile testing and slow strain rate testing combined with transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results indicate that with the increase of second-step aging time of two-step aging, the mechanical properties increase first and then decrease, while the SCC resistance increases. Compared with two-step aging, three-step aging treatment improves SCC resistance and the strength increases by about 5%. The effects of novel three-step aging on strength and SCC resistance are explained by the role of matrix precipitates and grain boundary precipitates, respectively.

Influence of exfoliation corrosion on tensile properties of a high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy

The influence of exfoliation corrosion on the tensile properties of a high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was investigated by ambient temperature tensile testing, optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and electron backscatter diffraction （EBSD）. 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.

Enhanced properties of solid solution (CeZr)O_2 modified with metal oxides for catalytic oxidation of low-concentration methane

The solid solution （CeZr）02 catalyst was synthesized, and it was modified with metal oxides by incipient impreg- nation. Morphology and structure were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, ni- trogen ad/desorption and H2-temperature program reduction techniques. The catalytic properties of methane oxidation were also investigated. The results showed that solid solution possessed a mesoporous structure and exhibited excellent catalytic performance. The activity of solid solution was improved effectively by nickel dop- ing, and the optimal loading is 15 wt%. The stability of （CeZr）02 and modified （CeZr）02 indicated that the struc- ture of pristine solid solution played a key role in promoting molecules diffusion and spatial confining oxide particle sintering.

Experimental evaluation and modeling of liquid jet penetration to estimate droplet size in a three-phase riser reactor

In this work, the effects of injecting an evaporating liquid jet into solid-gas flow are experimentally investigated. A new model （SHED model） and a supplementary model （spray model） have also been proposed to investigate some flow-field characteristics in three-phase fluidized bed with the mean relative error 4.3% between model and measured results. Some experiments were conducted to study the influences of flow-field parameters such as liquid volumetric flow rate, injection velocity, jet angle and gas superficial velocity as well as solid mass flux on the jet penetration depth （JPD）. In addition, independent variables were experimentally employed to propose two empirical correlations for JPD by using multiple regression method and spray cone angle （SCA） by using dimensional analysis technique. The mean relative errors between the JPD and SCA correlations versus ex- perimental data were 7.5% and 3.9%, respectively. In addition, in order to identify the variable effect, a parametric study was carried out. Applying the proposed model can avoid direct use of expensive devices to measureJPD and to nredict dronlet size.

Borehole deviation limits and injection permeability

Monitoring drilling deviation is important for drilling of boreholes and measuring injection rock permeability by Lugeon value for safe and efficient drilling and grouting. This paper is aiming at the study drilling deviation and relationship between drilling and injection permeability at the depth of 100 m in dam of Pushi River. The results show that at different depths the deviation of grouting borehole is within the allowable range according to specifications. LU value decreases with the depth increased in general, but at the depths between 40-41 m the permeability is 1.5 LU, and at 24 m the LU value is the largest (2 LU) in this site by this study. The study thus concludes that even though the rocks are hard and their injection permeability decreases with depth increased, good drilling practices including carefully considering technical and geological specifications can get good drilling boreholes.

Hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of TC4 titanium alloy

The hot deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V （TC4） titanium alloy was investigated in the temperature range from 650℃ to 950℃ with the strain rate ranging from 7.7×10^-4 s^-1 to 7.7×10^-2 s^-1. The hot tension test results indicate that the flow stress decreases with increasing the deformation temperature and increases with increasing the strain rate. XRD analysis result reveals that only deformation temperature affects the phase constitution. The microstructure evolution under different deformation conditions was characterized by TEM observation. For the deformation of TC4 alloy, the work-hardening is dominant at low temperature, while the dynamic recovery and dynamic re-crystallization assisted softening is dominant at high temperature.

Spectrophotometric Error Due to Uncertainty in Reading the Signal

Based upon the standard deviations for the intercept and the slope of a linear regression line, as well as by differentiating both Beer＇s law and a linear relationship between transmittance and concentration at high transmission, it is proved that the relative spectrophotometric error of a measurement becomes greater as the sample concentration only decreases. Further, it is demonstrated that the present knowledge with regard to the error in absorption spectrophotometry is necessary to be reexamined. The total scale of transmittance can literally be used for measurements, unfolding workable dynamic ranges about two orders of magnitude lower than usually and thus absorption spectrophotometry can efficiently compete with other methods of analysis with respect to detection limits.

Gill Epithelium Ultrastructure of Oreochromis niloticus Exposed to Gradual Raised Salinity

Fish gill is a multifunctional organ with role in acid-base balance, elimination of nitrogen waste and mainly gas exchange and ion regulation. There is a high energetic coast for ionregulation in freshwater fish maintained in salt water but a raise in growing taxes was observed for some species. The freshwater Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, is widely used in aquaculture farmers and the aim of this study was to investigate the changes on the gill filaments nltrastructure in fish kept under different salinities. Alevins were obtained and transported to laboratory of studies in animal stress Federal University of Paran~. Established groups in 0%0, 16%0 and 32%0 salt water with 12 animals in each one. After 30 days of exposition, the animals were anesthetized and the second gill arches were dissected and processed for scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The mitochondrial rich cells fractional area and density in the gill epithelia were determinated. The under scanning electron microscopy （SEM） in 0%0 salinity group reveal changes in the apical ridge of mitochondrial rich cells （MRCs）. In all other groups, the observations revealed numerous crypts disposed mainly in the filament epithelia. In transmission electron microscopy （TEM） two distinct types of MRCs were observed. The data of MRCFA and density revealed in 0%0 and 16%0 values significantly elevated in comparison to 32%0. Despite these lower values, the density in the gill epithelia was higher. The main differences found between the groups revealed that fish exposed to 16%o salinity have less MRCs aperture to the environment and are less related to ion regulation process.

Effect of heat treatment on microstructure and dimensional stability of ZL114A aluminum alloy

The effects of heat treatment process on microstrucature, micro-yield strength and dynamic dimensional stability of ZL114A aluminum alloy were investigated by optical microscopy （OM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, tensile testing and thermal cycling on-line measuring method. Fine dispersed eutectic Si phases are observed, and long strip eutectic Si and massive primary Si phases decrease in ZL114A alloy after high-temperature and long-time solution treatment, which result in the increase of micro-plastic deformation resistance. With the increasing of aging temperature, aging precipitation behaviour of ZLll4A alloy transforms from precipitation of GP zone and fl＇ phases simultaneously at lower temperature to precipitation of stable Mg2Si phases at higher temperature. Because coherent strengthening is the main strengthen mechanism for micro-plastic deformation, precipitation of stable Mg2Si phases is unfavorable to the improvement of micro-plastic deformation resistance. Micro-yield strength cannot characterize dimensional stability comprehensively, and dynamic dimensional stability under alternative temperature should also be tested cooperatively for better evaluation of dimensional stability.
