The Effect of Na_(2)O/B_(2)O_(3)Composition Ratio on the Structure and Properties of Cu^(+)Doped Luminescent Glass

Cu^(+)-doped alkali borosilicate glasses with different Na_(2)O contents were prepared by the melting method,and the effects of different R values(R=Na_(2)O/B_(2)O_(3))on the structure,ion presence state and luminescence properties of Cu^(+)-doped alkali borosilicate glasses were investigated.The analysis by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy shows that,with the increase of R value of the glass,the[BO_(3)]in the structure of Cu^(+)-doped alkali borosilicate glass transforms into[BO_(4)]and the number of non-bridging oxygen in the glass network appears to be slightly increased.The absorption spectra and EPR analysis reveal that the Cu^(+)content in the glass gradually decreases and the Cu^(2+)content gradually increases as the R value of the glass increases.XPS and PL tests further indicate that the transformation of the octahedral coordination structure of Cu^(+)to the octahedral coordination structure of Cu^(2+)and the cubic coordination structure of Cu^(+)occurs in the glass as the R value of the glass increases.This transformation can effectively reduce the concentration quenching phenomenon of Cu^(+)and improve the fluorescence luminescence intensity of the glass samples.Meanwhile,the samples were found to have luminescence tunability as well as good thermal stability.

Effect of Valence Electron Structure on Temper Process and Hardness of the Supersaturated Carburized Layer

By measuring the hardness of carburized layer of a new type supersaturated carburizing steel （35Cr3SiMnMoV） at different temper temperature for 2 h, the relationship curve between the carburized layer hardness and the temper temperature is established. The result indicates that the hardness goes down firstly, then up and down, just like a wave consistent with the temperature increase. A secondary hardening peak appears at 570 ℃ or so. Based on Empirical Election Theory （EET） of Solids and Molecules, the valence electron structures （VESs） containing α-Fe-C, α-Fe-C-Me segregation structure units and carbide are calculated. The laws of temper process and hardness change with the temper temperature are explained, and the fact that reconstruction of θ-Fe3C is prior to that of special carbide at high tempering is analyzed with the phase structure formation factor, S, being taken into consideration. Therefore, the laws of temper process and hardness change of supersaturated carburized layer at different temper temperature can be traced back to valence electron structure （VES） level of alloy phase.

Valence bond structure of Ta-W alloys

The valence bond structure of substitutional BCC based Ta-W alloys is studied using characteristic crystal （CC） theory. This theory is based on cluster statistics of random alloys. By studying the correlativity between energy and volume of the CC in Ta- W alloys, the valence bond structure of CC is determined by the energy and shape method. Then, following additive law of CC, the valence bond structure of Ta-W alloys is calculated. It is found that the outer shell valence electronic distribution of Ta-W Mloys shows a continuous change in the whole composition range. The covalent electrons ec （dc, sc, and pc） increase, whereas near free electrons ef decrease with increasing W concentration. The bond length and single-bond radius decrease, whereas bond energy and bond valence increase with increasing W concentration. The mechanism of solid solution strengthening of Ta-W alloys is analyzed based on their valence bond structure.

The VB structures of hcp and bcc phases monotonically increase or decrease with the increase in temperature, but show discontinuous changes at the phase-transformation temperature 1155K.

Analysis of Transition Mechanism of Cubic Boron Nitride Single Crystals under High Pressure-High Temperature with Valence Electron Structure Calculation

The possibilities of hexagonal boron nitride(hBN) and lithium boron nitride(Li_3BN_2) transition into cubic boron nitride(cBN) under synthetic pressure 5.0 GPa and synthetic temperature 1700 K are analyzed with the use of the empirical electron theory of solids and molecules. The relative differences in electron density are calculated for dozens of bi-phase interfaces hBN/cBN, Li_3BN_2/cBN. These relative differences of hBN/cBN are in good agreement with the first order of approximation(<10%), while those of Li_3BN_2/cBN are much greater than 10%.This analysis suggests that Li_3BN_2 is impossible to be intermediate phase but is a catalyst and cBN should be directly transformed by hBN.

Effect of the Structure and Valence State on the Properties of VO_2 Thin Films

VO 2 thin films with good switching properties were prepared by controlling the annealing time and the annealing temperature in a vacuum system. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the samples were characterized by using XRD、XPS、UV-VIS and electrical measurements. The switching parameters of VO 2 thin film were investigated too. The results indicate that before and after phase transition the resistance of VO 2 thin films changes about three orders of magnitude, the variation of film transmittance of 40 % has been carried out with the absorptivity switching velocity of about 0.260 7 /min at 900 nm . The structural property of samples has been improved but the phase-transition properties have been decreased by increasing the annealing time and annealing temperature. The valence of V ions and the structure of samples have great effect on phase transition properties of VO 2 thin films. Discussion on the effects of annealing time and annealing temperature on the phase-transition temperature and hysteresis width shows that the best reasonable annealing time and annealing temperature can be achieved.

The results show that the presence of RE atoms diffused into surface layer leads to an increase of phase structure factor, which explains the catalyzing and micro-alloying effects of RE.

Analysis of Valence Electron Structure of RE in Solid Solution in Medium and Low Carbon Steel

According to EET theory, the valence electron structures of RE in the solid solution of austenite, pearlite and martensite were calculated. The influence of RE in solid solution on phase transformation of pearlite and recrystallization of martensite was explained by the valence electron structure data of phases. Calculating results indicate that C element is favorite to enhance the number of RE in the solid solution. RE in the solute solution shortens the incubation period of proeutectoid ferrite, increases its quantity and carbon content, decreases the quantity of pearlite and thickness of its lamellas and lamellar spacing, then the strength and hardness of pearlite are improved and granular pearlite can be obtained. RE dissolved in martensite intensifies martensite, enhances tempering stability of martensite, increases its recrystallization temperature and prolongs the holding time needed during tempering.

Influence of Ca addition on valence electron structure of Mg_(17)Al_(12)

The alloy AZ91 containing calcium was prepared under protection of a mixed gas atmosphere of SF6 （1%, volume fraction） and CO2. The added calcium mainly dissolves into the Mg17Al12 phase in the alloy and increases its melting point and the thermal stability. The empirical electron theory （EET） of solid and molecules was used to calculate the valence electron structures （VES） of Mg17Al12 phase with different amounts of calcium additions. The theoretical calculations indicate that calcium dissolved in Mg17Al12 phase increases the strengths of atomic bonds that control the thermal stability of Mg17Al12 phase, and also makes the distribution of valence electrons on the dominant bond network as well as in the whole unit cell of Mg17Al12 more uniform, which are consistent with the experimental results.

Valence electron structures and properties of Ni-based corrosion resistant alloy

The corrosion resistance and mechanical properties were tested and compared for the newly synthesized as-cast,as-solution Ni-Cr-Mo-Cu corrosion resistant alloys and 1Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel. Their valence electron structural units were constructed,and the relative parameters were calculated by means of the Empirical Electron theory of Solids and Molecules(EET). The results show that,during alloy elements Cr,Mo and Cu entering Ni-matrix,the bonding strength nA and bonding energy EA of the strongest bond of the alloy are greatly increased,causing the stronger solid solution strengthening effects(about 30% increase in σb). Also,as reinforcement of the main bond network and the improvement of stability of the alloy system due to the solution of these alloying elements in γ-Ni,the ionization of metal atoms in corrosion solution and the flow of electrons from anode to cathode would all be impeded during electro-chemical corrosion processes,which leads to the excellent corrosion resistant ability of the present Ni-Cr-Mo-Cu alloy(about 2-3 orders of magnitude as high as 1Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel) in several highly aggressive solutions.

Coherence of the Even-Odd Rule with an Effective-Valence Isoelectronicity Rule for Chemical Structural Formulas: Application to Known and Unknown Single-Covalent-Bonded Compounds

Ions or molecules are said to be isoelectronic if they are composed of different elements but have the same number of electrons, the same number of covalent bonds and the same structure. This criterion is unfortunately not sufficient to ensure that a chemical structure is a valid chemical compound. In a previous article, a procedure has been described to draw 2D valid structural formulas: the even-odd rule. This rule has been applied first to single-bonded molecules then to single-charged single-bonded ions. It covers hypovalent, hypervalent or classic Lewis’ octet compounds. The funding principle of the even-odd rule is that each atom of the compound possesses an outer-shell filled only with pairs of electrons. The application of this rule guarantees validity of any single-covalent-bond chemical structure. In the present paper, this even-odd rule and its electron-pair criterion are checked for coherence with an effective-valence isoelectronic rule using numerous known compounds having single-covalent-bond connections. The test addresses Lewis’ octet ions or molecules as well as hypovalent and hypervalent compounds. The article concludes that the even-odd rule and the effective-valence isoelectronicity rule are coherent for known single-covalent-bond chemical compounds.
