The kinds of the reaction products and the interface structures of the joints were investigated by SEM, EPMA and XRD. Based on this, a formation mechanism of the interface structure was elucidated. Experimental and analytical results show that two reaction layers have formed during the diffusion bonding of TAD to TC2. One is Al rich α(Ti)layer adjacent to TC2,and the other is (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer adjacent to TAD,thus the interface structure of the TAD/TC2 joints is TAD/(Ti 3Al+TiAl)/α(Ti)/TC2.This interface structure forms according to a three stage mechanism,namely(a)the occurrence of a single phase α(Ti)layer;(b)the occurrence of a duplex phase(Ti 3Al+TiAl)layer;and(c)the growth of the α(Ti)and (Ti 3Al+TiAl)layers.展开更多

Meanwhile, the bonding of surface structure is analyzed via the graphics of electron localization function(ELF).展开更多

The heterojunction interface structure of TB heterojunction photocatalyst was optimized via adjusting the ethylene glycol/water (EG/W) ratio. Based on XRD, SEM and TEM, the crystal size of Bi2WO6 reduced from 14.6 nm to 8.8 nm, and the interface structure between Bi2WO6 nanosheets and TiO2 particle significantly changed with increasing EG concentration. Furthermore, the photoeatalytic activity and the related mechanism of TB heterojunction photocatalyst were systematically discussed. Among them, TBEG/w sample shows the highest normalized apparent rate constant, which is attributed to its highest electron-hole pairs separation ability driven by optimized heterojunction interface between two semiconductors.展开更多

The interface segregation position of Si and Mg is determined, and the effect of Mg and Si on the interface binding of Fe(110)/Al(110) is analyzed by combining the work of separation and charge density. The results show that the Fe(110)/Al(110) interface energy of FeHollow coordination is smaller and the interface structure is more stable. The Fe(110)/Al(110) interface separation surface in the form of Fe-Hollow coordination appears at the sub interface layer on the side of Al(110)near the interface. The interface structure of Mg and Si segregation is similar to that of undoped alloy elements.The calculations also suggest that Mg and Si segregate on the Al(110) side of the interface and occupy the Al lattice on the Al(110) side. The segregation of Mg and Si elements will reduce the interface binding, primarily because the Fe-Si bond and Fe-Mg bond are weaker than Fe-Al bond.展开更多

To obtain the real capacitance and interface state density of the Ni/p-GaN structures, the effects of the series resistance (Rs) on high-frequency (SMHz) capacitance values measured at a reverse and a forward bias are investigated. The mean interface state densities obtained from the CHF-CLF capacitance and the conductance method are 2 ×1012 e V-1 cm-2 and 0.94 × 1012 eV-1 cm-2, respectively. Furthermore, the interface state density derived from the conductance method is higher than that reported from the Ni/n-GaN in the literature, which is ascribed to a poor crystal quality and to a large defect density of the Mg-doped p-GaN.展开更多

The effects of technological parameters such as brazing temperature, holding time, and filler thickness on the shear strength of the joints were investigated. The microstructure of welded area and the reaction products of the filler metal were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), metallographic microscope (OM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The brazing temperature of 870℃, holding time of 15 min, and filler thickness of 0.4 mm are a set of optimum technological parameters, under which the maximum shear strength of the joints, 176.5 MPa, is achieved. The results of microstructure show that the wettability of the filler metal on Ti(C,N)-based cermet and steel is well. A mutual solution layer and a diffusion layer exist between the welding base materials and the filler metal.展开更多

The microstructural analyses indicate that two reaction products, Ti(Cu, Al) 2 and Ag based solid solution (Ag(s.s)), are present in the brazing seam, and the interface structure of the brazed joint is TiB 2/TiB 2+ Ag(s.s) /Ag(s.s)+Ti(Cu, Al) 2/Ti(Cu, Al) 2/TiAl. The experimental results show that the shear strength of the brazed TiB 2/TiAl joints decreases as the brazing time increases at a definite brazing temperature. When the joint is brazed at 1 223 K for 5 min , a joint strength up to 173 MPa is achieved.展开更多

The results show that there are two clear basement interfaces at the upper crust in Jiashi strong earthquake swarm area. The first one with buried depth ranging from 2.6 km to 3.3 km presents integral and continuous structure, and it appears an inclined plane interface and smoothly rises up toward Tianshan Mountain. The second basement interface with buried depth from 8.5 km to 11.8 km, is the antiquated crystalline basement of Tarim basin. Near the post number of 37 km, the buried depth of the crystalline basement changed abruptly by 2.5 km, which maybe result from an ultra crystalline basement fault. If taking this fault as a boundary, the crystalline basement could be divided into two parts, i.e. the southwestern segment with buried depth about 11.5 km, and the northeastern segment with buried depth approxi-mately from 8.5 km to 9.0 km. That is to say, in each segment, the buried depth changes not too much. The northeast segment rises up as a whole and upheaves slightly from southwest to northeast, which reflects the upper crustal deformation characteristics under the special tectonic background at the northwestern edge of Tarim basin.展开更多

A deep level center located at Ec - 0.24 eV obtained by DLTS in the ZnO films is an intrinsic defect related to Zni. The surface states in the ZnO grains that have acceptor behavior of capturing electrons from Zni defects result in the formation of grain barriers. In addition, we find that the current transport is dominated by grain barriers after annealing at 600℃ at 02 ambient. With the increment of the annealing temperature, the current transport mechanism of ZnO/Si heterostructure is mainly dominated by thermo-emission.展开更多

The sheet carrier density is shown to increase nearly linearly with In mole fraction x, due to the increase in the polarization charge at the AlGaN/InGaN interface. The electron sheet density is enhanced with the doping in the AlGaN layer. The sheet carrier density is as high as 3.7×1013 cm^-2 at the donor density of 10×1018 cm^-3 for the HEMT structure with x=0.3. The contribution of additional donor density on the electron sheet density is nearly independent of the In mole fraction.展开更多
文摘Vacuum diffusion bonding of a TiAl based alloy (TAD) to a titanium alloy (TC2) was carried out at 1 273 K for 15~120 min under a pressure of 25 MPa .

Experimental and analytical results show that two reaction layers have formed during the diffusion bonding of TAD to TC2.

文摘TiO2/Bi2WO6 (TB) heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully synthesized and characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Vis and photoluminescence measurement. The heterojunction interface structure of TB heterojunction photocatalyst was optimized via adjusting the ethylene glycol/water (EG/W) ratio. Based on XRD, SEM and TEM, the crystal size of Bi2WO6 reduced from 14.6 nm to 8.8 nm, and the interface structure between Bi2WO6 nanosheets and TiO2 particle significantly changed with increasing EG concentration. Furthermore, the photoeatalytic activity and the related mechanism of TB heterojunction photocatalyst were systematically discussed. Among them, TBEG/w sample shows the highest normalized apparent rate constant, which is attributed to its highest electron-hole pairs separation ability driven by optimized heterojunction interface between two semiconductors.

文摘The interface structure and electronic properties of Fe(110)/Al(110) are investigated by the first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential method. The interface segregation position of Si and Mg is determined, and the effect of Mg and Si on the interface binding of Fe(110)/Al(110) is analyzed by combining the work of separation and charge density. The results show that the Fe(110)/Al(110) interface energy of FeHollow coordination is smaller and the interface structure is more stable. The Fe(110)/Al(110) interface separation surface in the form of Fe-Hollow coordination appears at the sub interface layer on the side of Al(110)near the interface. The interface structure of Mg and Si segregation is similar to that of undoped alloy elements.The calculations also suggest that Mg and Si segregate on the Al(110) side of the interface and occupy the Al lattice on the Al(110) side. The segregation of Mg and Si elements will reduce the interface binding, primarily because the Fe-Si bond and Fe-Mg bond are weaker than Fe-Al bond.

文摘By applying the segmentation and composition principles of ecosystem,the structure and interface of earth ecosystem are fully elaborated,and corresponding model diagrams are established to display its composition and interconversion. The research finds that earth ecosystem includes three sub-ecosystems: terrestrial ecosystem,marine ecosystem and atmospheric ecosystem. The impact sequence of sub-ecosystems on earth ecosystem is atmospheric ecosystem 〉 marine ecosystem 〉 terrestrial ecosystem. Based on the segmentation and composition principles of ecosystem and the application of earth ecosystem structure and interface,we give new explanations to Taoism and Taiji with the eight diagrams,which contributes to theoretical research of natural science.

文摘This study presents a design strategy to enhance the high-temperature creep resistance of Ni-based superalloys.This strategy focuses on two principles:(1)minimizing the dimensions ofγ/γ′interfaces andγchannels by reducing the size of theγ′phase;(2)key alloy composition control to strengthen the heterostructureγ/γ′interfaces.This strategy proved very effective by the designed three superalloys'prolonged creep lives.An alloy exhibits ultra-long creep life by 388 h at 1100°C/137 MPa,which runs at the highest level among those alloys without Ru addition.With Ru addition,an alloy that lasted for 748 h with a creep strain of~6%at 1110°C/137 MPa is developed.This study provides a new route of high-temperature creep lives through heterostructure interfacial design with size effects and key alloying elements.

文摘Firm joins were obtained between Ti(C,N)-based cermet and steel with Ag-Cu-Zn-Ni filler metal by vacuum brazing. The effects of technological parameters such as brazing temperature, holding time, and filler thickness on the shear strength of the joints were investigated. The microstructure of welded area and the reaction products of the filler metal were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), metallographic microscope (OM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The brazing temperature of 870℃, holding time of 15 min, and filler thickness of 0.4 mm are a set of optimum technological parameters, under which the maximum shear strength of the joints, 176.5 MPa, is achieved. The results of microstructure show that the wettability of the filler metal on Ti(C,N)-based cermet and steel is well. A mutual solution layer and a diffusion layer exist between the welding base materials and the filler metal.
文摘In this study, TiB 2 cermet and TiAl based alloy are vacuum brazed successfully by using Ag Cu Ti filler metal. The microstructural analyses indicate that two reaction products, Ti(Cu, Al) 2 and Ag based solid solution (Ag(s.s)), are present in the brazing seam, and the interface structure of the brazed joint is TiB 2/TiB 2+ Ag(s.s) /Ag(s.s)+Ti(Cu, Al) 2/Ti(Cu, Al) 2/TiAl. The experimental results show that the shear strength of the brazed TiB 2/TiAl joints decreases as the brazing time increases at a definite brazing temperature. When the joint is brazed at 1 223 K for 5 min , a joint strength up to 173 MPa is achieved.

文摘The seismic data obtained from high resolution seismic refraction profile in Jiashi strong earthquake swarm area in Xinjiang, China were further processed with ray hit analysis method and more complete basement interface structural characteristics beneath Jiashi strong earthquake swarm area were determined. The results show that there are two clear basement interfaces at the upper crust in Jiashi strong earthquake swarm area. The first one with buried depth ranging from 2.6 km to 3.3 km presents integral and continuous structure, and it appears an inclined plane interface and smoothly rises up toward Tianshan Mountain. The second basement interface with buried depth from 8.5 km to 11.8 km, is the antiquated crystalline basement of Tarim basin. Near the post number of 37 km, the buried depth of the crystalline basement changed abruptly by 2.5 km, which maybe result from an ultra crystalline basement fault. If taking this fault as a boundary, the crystalline basement could be divided into two parts, i.e. the southwestern segment with buried depth about 11.5 km, and the northeastern segment with buried depth approxi-mately from 8.5 km to 9.0 km. That is to say, in each segment, the buried depth changes not too much. The northeast segment rises up as a whole and upheaves slightly from southwest to northeast, which reflects the upper crustal deformation characteristics under the special tectonic background at the northwestern edge of Tarim basin.

文摘The influence of ZnO microstructure on electrical barriers is investigated using capacitance-voltage (C - V), current-voltage (I- V) and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements. A deep level center located at Ec - 0.24 eV obtained by DLTS in the ZnO films is an intrinsic defect related to Zni. The surface states in the ZnO grains that have acceptor behavior of capturing electrons from Zni defects result in the formation of grain barriers. In addition, we find that the current transport is dominated by grain barriers after annealing at 600℃ at 02 ambient. With the increment of the annealing temperature, the current transport mechanism of ZnO/Si heterostructure is mainly dominated by thermo-emission.
文摘The effect of In composition on two-dimensional electron gas in wurtzite AlGaN/InGaN heterostructures is theoretically investigated. The sheet carrier density is shown to increase nearly linearly with In mole fraction x, due to the increase in the polarization charge at the AlGaN/InGaN interface. The electron sheet density is enhanced with the doping in the AlGaN layer. The sheet carrier density is as high as 3.7×1013 cm^-2 at the donor density of 10×1018 cm^-3 for the HEMT structure with x=0.3. The contribution of additional donor density on the electron sheet density is nearly independent of the In mole fraction.
