Effects of PbO-B2O3-CuV2O6 glass on the microwave dielectric properties of （Pb0.5Ca0.5） （Fe0.5Nb0.5）O3 ceramics

The influences of the PbO-B2O3-CuV2O6 （PBC） additives on the microwave dielectric properties of （Pb0.5Ca0.5） （Fe0.5Nb0.5）O3 （PCFN） ceramics were investigated as a function of sintering temperature from 950 ℃ to 1 100 ℃. The sintering temperature of the specimens with the glass could be lowered from 1125 ℃ to 1 025℃ without the degradation of microwave dielectric properties. The microwave results showed that the dielectric constant cr was not significantly different while Qf values decreased with the increase of CuV206 content of PBC glass. For the specimens doped with PB-CV0.1 glass （81% PbO-9% B203-10% CuV2O6） and sintered at 1 025 ℃ for 3 h, the microwave dielectric properties of Qf=4 823 GHz, Cr=107.1 with TCF=＋15.03 ×10^-6/℃ were obtained.     

Study of the behaviour of the dielectric constant in Cu,Fe：BaTiO3

In this work we study the behaviour of the dielectric constant of BaTiO3 single crystals doped with Cu and Fe for different ion percentages, particularly, the influence of these hetemvalent substitutions on the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition whose temperature is found at Tc=120℃ for pure samples. The dielectric constant e in terms of temperature shows that the Curie temperature decreases when the quantity of impurities increases and presents a broadening and flattering of the maximum oft（T） within higher values, with the transition becoming more and more diffuse. It is interesting to have a material with very high permittivity （high-k） because of its capacity to store an important quantity of electric charges. The t anisotropy and the Curie-Weiss law are also verified with a good ratio between the slopes ofε^-l（T） from both sides of the transition, leading to a Curie constant： C= 13 × 10^4 K for BaTiO3：1.6%Fe in the polar phase. BaTiO3 is a displacive ferroelectric going through a first-order phase transition. The substitutions have an effect on the dynamics of the perovskite lattice. They induce charges transfer to Ti and a diminution of elastic forces in BaTiO3. Then we discuss the transition but on the nature of the material. fact that the maximum of permittivity does not depend on the phase     

Science Letters：Nitrogen doping of activated carbon loading Fe2O3 and activity in carbon-nitric oxide reaction

Nitrogen doping of activated carbon loading Fe2O3 was performed by annealing in ammonia, and the activity of the modified carbon for NO reduction was studied in the presence of oxygen. Results show that Fe2O3 enhances the amount of surface oxygen complexes and facilitates nitrogen incorporation in the carbon, especially in the form of pyridinic nitrogen. The modified carbon shows excellent activity for NO reduction in the low temperature regime (<500 °C) because of the cooperative effect of Fe2O3 and the surface nitrogen species.     

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS ON PRESSURIZED FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTION(PFBC)FOR HIGH ASH COAL

The first phase of the experimental investigation in our institute on pressur-ized fluidized bed combustion(PFBC)technology is introduced,and the results of fivetests are presented.The combustion efficiencies were as high as 97% 98% when high ashcontent coal was burnt in PFBC,and the sulphur retention efficiencics were 80%-85%with the Ca/S mole ratios between 1.5-1.8.The particulate content in flue gas at the out-let of high temperature gas clean-up system was 189mg/m~3(normalized).The average di-ameter of particles was 2.5-3μm and the weight fraction of particles with diameter largerthan 10μm was not greater than 3%.     

Low temperature sintering and performance of aluminum nitride/borosilicate glass

Aluminum nitride （AlN）/borosilicate glass composites were prepared by the tape casting process and hot-press sintered at 950 ℃ with AIN and SiO2-B203-ZnO-Al2O3-Li2O glass as starting materials. We characterized and analyzed the variation of the microstructure, bulk density, porosity, dielectric constant, thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient （TEC） of the ceramic samples as a function of AIN content. Results show that AIN and SiO2-B2O3-ZnO-Al2O3-Li2O glass can be sintered at 950 ℃, and ZnAI204 and Zn2SiO4 phase precipitated to form glass-ceramic. The performance of the ceramic samples was determined by the composition and bulk density of the composites. Lower AlN content was found redounding to liquid phase sintering, and higher bulk density of composites can be accordingly obtained. With the increase of porosity, corresponding decreases were located in the dielectric constant, thermal conductivity and TEC of the ceramic samples. When the mass fraction of AlN was 40%, the ceramic samples possessed a low dielectric constant （4.5-5.0）, high thermal conductivity （11.6 W/（m.K）） and a proper TEC （3.0× 10^-6 K^-1 which matched that of silicon）. The excellent performance makes this kind of low temperature co-fired ceramic a promising candidate for application in the micro-electronics packaging industry.     

Positive temperature coefficient of resistivity effects of semiconducting （Bi（1/2）Na（1/2））TiO3-CaTiO3-BaTiO3 ceramics sintered in air atmosphere

Y^3＋-doped （Bi 1/2 Na 1/2） TiO 3-CaTiO 3-BaTiO 3 （BNCBT） positive temperature coefficient of resistivity （PTCR） ceramics sintered in air atmosphere were investigated in this study. （Bi 1/2 Na 1/2） TiO 3 （BNT） component can remarkably increase the onset temperature T c of PTCR ceramics with the expense of the resistivity R 25 increase. CaTiO 3 （9–27 mol%） component can decrease the resistivity, and adjust the effects of BNT phase on the T c point. For the sample containing 3 mol% CaTiO 3 , T c raises from 122 ℃ to 153 ℃ when only 0.6 mol% BNT added, while for the ones with higher CaTiO 3 content （9–27 mol%）, T c is only increased by a rate of 8–9℃/1.0 mol% BNT. The effects of BNT and CaTiO 3 components on R25/Rmin （negative temperature coefficient effect） are also discussed.     

Synthesis of Ag（Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3 Ceramics Under Different Ambient Conditions

Different ambient conditions for the synthesis of Ag（Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3 ceramics were investi- gated. The Ag（Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3 powder was synthesized at 950 ℃ under different ambient conditions, and then pressed into disks and sintered between 1060 ℃ and 1100 ℃ respectively. Samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and dielectric measurement. The results show that perovskite Ag（Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3 powder was easier to be synthesized in air than in vacuum at 950℃. Grain size of ceramic samples sintered in air was uniform （about 1 μm） and its dielectric loss was small for its high density. However, the samples decomposed greatly and ceramics could hardly be densified when sintered in vacuum, Thus,. higher atmospheric pressure and oxygen atmosphere would benifit the synthesis of Ag （Nb0.8Ta0.2）O3, and suppress its decomposition at high temperature.     

CaO+SiO2+Al2O3+MgO+FeO 五元渣系中FeO 活度的研究

Activities of FeO in CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-FeO slags were determined at 1673 K by electrochemical of the solid electrolyte cell： Mo [Mo＋MoOu[ZrO2（MgO）[Fe＋（CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-FeO）＋Ag[Fe. The influences of slag compositions and basicity on FeO activities were analyzed. The results reveal that, for slags of fixed （%CaO）/（%SiO2） ratio, MgO and Al2O3 content, there was an increase of FeO activities with increase of FeO content. For slags with constant {（%CaO）＋ （%MgO）}/（%SiO2） ratio, fixed FeO and A1203 content, FeO activities decreased when MgO content increased from 5% to 10%, and increased with the increase of MgO content when it was over 10%. The FeO activities increased when （%CaO）/（%SiO2） ratio changed from 1.03 to 1.30 in the slags of constant MgO, FeO and Al2O3 content.     

稀土和磷对过共晶Al-Si合金的复合变质作用

The effect of rare earth (RE) elements on the morphologies and sizes of Si phases in the hypereutectic Al-Si alloys modified with P was investigated.The results show that the addition of La element to the hypereutectic Al-Si alloys can enhance the effect of P element on the modification of the primary Si phases.In the multiplex modification of RE-P,the primary Si phase is refiner and the shape of the eutectic Si is changed from long needle-like to short rod-like.Moreover,the agglomeration rate of the primary Si phase is slowed greatly.Even the melt is held for 6 h,the average size of the primary Si phase is still satisfied.The results analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicate that La is richer at A1-Si interface than that inα-Al or primary Si phase.The higher the La content in the Al-Si interface,the smaller the primary Si phase.     

Remediation of Cr（Ⅵ） in solution using vitamin C

The effectiveness of vitamin C in treating Cr(Ⅵ)-contaminated water is being evaluated. Cr(Ⅵ) is an identified pollutant of some soils and groundwater. Vitamin C, an important biological reductant in humans and animals, can be used to transform Cr(Ⅵ) to essentially nontoxic Cr(Ⅲ). The removal efficiency was 89% when the mass concentration of vitamin C was 80 mg/L in 60 min, and nearly 100% Cr(Ⅵ) was removed when the mass concentration was 100 mg/L. Our data demonstrated that the removal efficiency was affected by vitamin C concentration, the reaction temperature and the dissolved oxygen concentration.The reaction mechanism of Cr(Ⅵ) by vitamin C was presented. Our study opens the way to use vitamin C to remediate Cr(Ⅵ)-contaminated soils and groundwater.

The relative densities of sintered specimens are above 97%, and the dielectric loss is below 0.03. It was found that (K0.47Na0.47Li0.06)NbO3 prepared by MSS is compact and lead-free. The piezoelectric constant d33 is 216 pC·N-1 and the planar electromechanical coupling factor Kp is 0.352.     

柠檬酸含量对溶胶凝胶自燃烧法制备的钡铁氧体磁性能的影响

BaFe12O19 powders with nanocrystaUine sizes were produced by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The precursors were prepared under the molar ratios of citric acid to the metal nitrate of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5. Appropriate ethylene diamine （C2H8N2） was added in order to adjust pH of 7. The ions distribution of citric acid at different pH explains the effect of citric acid in the starting solution. The XRD patterns of the as-burnt powders and annealing powders show different phases for different citric acid content. In addition, the lattice constants （a, c） derived from X-ray diffraction pattern were changed from 0.58881 nm to 0.58997 nm and 2.32057 nm to 2.32296 nm respectively. The data from VSM indicated that the powder with high citric acid content took on good magnetic properties. Pure single BaFe12O19 of the specific maximum magnetization M（1 T）≈ 49.73 Am^2/kg, the specific remanent magnetization Mr ≈ 30.77 Am^2/kg and the coercive force He≈ 467 kA/m was produced when the molar ratios of citric acid to the metal nitrate was 1.5.

一类关于半正定规划的多项式原对偶内点算法

1 Introduction Interior-point methods (IPMs) for semidefinite opti-mization (SDO) have been studied intensively,due totheir polynomial complexity and practical efficiency.In the past decade , SDO has become a popular re-search area in mathematical programming when it be-came clear that the algorithm for linear opti mization(LO) can often be extended to the more general SDOcase. Other two factors are also responsible for thisincreasing interest in SDO. Firstly, SDO has a wideapplication…     

Science Letters： New solutions of shear waves in piezoelectric cubic crystals

Acoustic wave propagation in piezoelectric crystals of classes?43m and 23 is studied. The crystals Tl3VS4 and Tl3TaSe4 (43m) of the Chalcogenide family and the crystal Bi12TiO20 (23) possess strong piezoelectric effect. Because the surface Bleustein-Gulyaev waves cannot exist in piezoelectric cubic crystals, it was concluded that new solutions for shear-horizontal surface acoustic waves (SH-SAWs) are found in the monocrystals using different electrical boundary conditions such as electri- cally “short” and “open” free-surfaces for the unique [101] direction of wave propagation. For the crystal Tl3TaSe4 with coefficient of electromechanical coupling (CEMC) Ke2=e2/(C×g)～1/3, the phase velocity Vph for the new SH-SAWs can be calculated with the following formula: Vph=(Va Vt)/2, where Vt is the speed of bulk SH-wave, Vt=Vt4(1 Ke2)1/2, Va=aKVt4, aK=2[Ke(1 Ke2)1/2-Ke2]1/2, and Vt4=(C44/ρ)1/2. It was found that the CEMC K2 evaluation for Tl3TaSe4 gave the value of K2=2(Vf–Vm)/Vf～0.047 (～4.7%), where Vf～848 m/s and Vm~828 m/s are the new-SAW velocities for the free and metallized surfaces, respectively. This high value of K2(Tl3TaSe4) is significantly greater than K2(Tl3VS4)～3% and about five times that of K2(Bi12TiO20).     

Sensitized Up—Conversion Luminescence of Ho^3＋ in Nd^3＋—Yb^3＋—Ho^3＋ Co—doped ZrF4—Based Glass

Up-conversion processes for the blue, green and red emissions were found two-photon phenomenon, known as the cooperative phenomenon. This phenomenon was assisted by Nd³⁺ → Yb³⁺ → Ho³⁺ energy transfer. The strong green emission due to the Ho³⁺ : (⁵F₄, ⁵S₂)→ ⁵I₈ transitions was observed in Nd³⁺-Ho³⁺ co-doped ZrF₄-based fluoride glasses under 800 nm excitation. As an attempt to enhance Ho³⁺ up-conversion luminescences in the Nd³⁺ – Ho³⁺ co-doped ZrF₄-based glasses, Yb³⁺ ions were added to the glasses. As a result it was found that, in 800 nm excitation of 60 ZrF₄. 30BaF2. (8-x)LaF₃. lNdF₃. xYbF₃. 1HoF₃ glasses (x=0 to 7), sensitized up-conversion luminescences are observed at around 490 nm (blue), 545 nm (green), and 650 nm (red), which correspond to the Ho³⁺ : ⁵F₃ → ⁵I₈, ( ⁵F₄, ⁵S₂)→⁵I₈ and ⁵F₅→ ⁵I₈ transitions respectively. The intensities of the green and red emissions in a 3 mol % YbF₃-containing glass were about 50 times stronger than those glasses without YbF₃. This is based on sensitization due to Yb³⁺ ions. In particular, the green emission was extremely strong and the Nd³⁺-Yb³⁺-Ho³⁺ co-doped ZrF₄-based glasses have a high possibility of realizing a green up-conversion laser glass. In this paper the up-conversion mechanism in the glasses is discussed in detail.     

Effects of concentration and freeze-thaw on the first hydration shell structure of Zn2+ ions

To investigate the effects of salt concentration and freeze-thaw （FT） on the first hydration shell of Zn2+ ions in Zn（NO₃）₂ aqueous solutions, extended X-ray absorption fine structure （EXAFS） spectroscopy was used to examine Zn K-edge EXAFS spectra of Zn（NO₃）₂ aqueous solutions with various concentrations before and after FT treatment. The influences of salt concentration and freeze-thaw on the structural parameters of the first hydration shell of Zn2+ ions, including hydration number, Zn-O distance and thermal disorder, were analyzed. The results show that Zn2+ ions have 3.2―6.8 nearest oxygen neighbors with the Zn-O distance being 0.202―0.207 nm. In highly concen-trated solutions, Zn2+ ions are hydrated with four water molecules in a tetrahedral form. The dilution of Zn（NO₃）₂ aqueous solutions increases the number of water molecules in the first hydration shell of Zn2+ ions to six with their octahedral arrangement. Both the hydration number in the first hydration shell of Zn2+ ions and the degree of thermal disorder increase when the FT treatment is operated in Zn（NO₃）₂ aqueous solutions.     

Effects of HfO2 buffer layers on the dielectric property and leakage current of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 thin films by pulsed laser deposition

Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 （BST） thin films with and without HfO 2 buffer layer were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Dependences of HfO 2 thickness on the dielectric property and leakage current of BST thin films were focused. The dielectric constant of BST thin films increased and then decreased with the increase of HfO 2 thickness, while the dielectric relaxation was gradually improved. The loss tangent and leakage current under positive bias decreased with the HfO 2 thickness increasing. The leakage current analysis based on the Schottky emission indicated an improvement of the BST/Pt interface with HfO 2 buffer layer. The loss tangent, tunability and figure of merit of optimized HfO 2 buffered BST thin film achieved 0.009 8, 21.91% （E max = 200 kV/cm）, 22.40 at 10 6 Hz, respectively.
