Activated carbon pellets as substrates for the deposition of diamond films were prepared using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The ballas diamond morphology and crystal structure of the as-deposited films were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. The electrochemical behavior of a boron-doped diamond-film electrode prepared on the porous activated carbon substrates was also studied, by examining the cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance. The diamond films exhibited a ballas morphology and contained microcrystallites. The measured results indicated that the electrode had a very wide potential window and very low background current, while the potential windows in acidic, neutral, or alkaline media were 4.4, 4.0, and 3.0 [V], respectively. The background current was as low as -8×10-6-5×10-7 [A]. In electrolytes, including ferri/ferrocyanide, the electrode surface maintained good activity, and the electrochemical reaction occurring on the surface was a diffusion-controlled reaction with good quasi-reversibility. Compared with platinum and graphite electrodes, diamond electrodes can effectively oxidize compounds (phenol), and the oxidization process is very simple and complete.

Improved microemulsion synthesis method was employed to control the morphology of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nano-products. The morphology, structure and optical properties of the as-prepared nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), power and temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra measurements. The PL dynamics are examined by time resolved PL. The results showed that the sample had fine rod-like morphology and that the preferential growth direction was along the c axis. The PL spectra showed a strong and thermal stability ultra violet emission with a very weak visible emission associated with deep-level defects. The process to control the crystal growth and defect states in order to control the morphology and good optical properties of the produced samples is discussed.

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) templates of octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS) have been prepared controllably. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been performed to investigate the size distribution and average distance between the pinhole sites in the ODTS SAMs templates. The result shows that both the size distribution and average distance between the pinhole sites will decrease with the increase of SAMs immersing time. The SAMs templates have been employed to tune the nucleation and growth of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images show that the size distribution and particle density of Pd NPs follow the same tendency of the pinhole sites on the templates. Our study reveals that the density of NPs grown on SAMs modified substrates depends on the density of pinholes. With SAMs modified substrate, nanoparticles with uniform size and controlled loading density can be achieved via ALD method.

Cu2Se nanowires with diameters of about 25 nm and several hundred nm in length were synthesized at room temperature using a Se2− solution prepared by microwave-assisted method. The influencing factors to product morphologies were investigated on the basis of series of control experiments. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Copper sources, molar ratio of Cu/Se element, microwave and reducing agent significantly influence the morphology of the final products. Thus, product morphologies are controllable by simply regulating reaction conditions.

In order to identify the distribution character of void defects in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), the ultrasonic resonance in CFRP containing voids was studied. The ideal model within no voids, model within uniformly distributed voids and model within centralized voids were built respectively based on finite element analysis software ANSYS. Then the ultrasonic spreading in the above models were numerically calculated. The ultrasonic echoes and their spectrums were analyzed. At last, the time-frequency images of the ultrasonic echo signals were generated for further analysis. The results are as follows. When the ultrasonic whose center frequency is close to the resonance frequency of the CFRP is used to test the CFRP, the ultrasonic in the ideal model within no voids can generate resonance and the frequency is consistent with the CFRP theoretical resonance frequency. The frequency of ultrasonic in model within uniformly distributed voids will slightly deviate from the theoretical resonance frequency. The frequency of ultrasonic in model within centralized voids will greatly deviate from the theoretical resonance frequency of CFRP. These conclusions can be used as the criterion for detecting void defects and the distribution of voids in CFRP.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRP) is very suitable for reinforcing ocean concrete structures because of its excellent corrosion resistance, favorable strength-to-weight ratios and durability in adverse environments. Recently most of research focused on mechanical properties of column or beam repaired by CFRP and paid little attention on their combination. In this paper the mechanical character of beam and column strengthened by CFRP sheet were firstly investigated by laboratory tests and numerical analysis, respectively. Using these results as base, the structural properties of high-piled wharf bent structure, which composed by beams and piles, were investigated when repaired by CFRP composites. It was evident that structural property of high-piled wharf bent structure had been greatly improved by comparing the change of stress and displacement before and after reinforcement.

Using special quasirandom structures (SQS), we perform first-principles calculations studying physical properties of Cu1-xNix (x=0.25, 0.5, 0.75) alloys with vacancy defect. Our calculations show that it is difficult to form vacancy in Ni-rich case, compared with pure Cu and Ni metals and Cu-rich CuNi alloys. The highest vacancy formation energy is found to be located at composition with 75% Ni. It indicates that the alloy form such as Cu0.25Ni0.75 is a good resistant to void formation under irradiation. Furthermore, our results show that the vacancy defect hardly impacts the magnetic properties of CuNi alloys. The magnetic properties of the alloys are mainly determined by the average number of d electrons per atom in the unit cell.

In this study, Cu nanoparticles were dispersed into Sn-58Bi solder paste to prepare Sn-58Bi-xCu solders in order to inhibit the disadvantages of undesirable Bi segregation and microstructure coarsening of Sn-58Bi solder in electronic industry. The content of Cu ranged from 0 to 2.0wt.% in the solders. The effects of Cu nanoparticles on microstructure, hardness and ball shear strength of Sn-Bi lead-free solder were investigated. The results indicated that small amount of Cu addition in Sn-58Bi solder enhanced not only the shear strength but also to some extent the hardness of the composite solder, which may be attributed to the uniform distribution of the formed Cu6Sn5 IMCs and the refined microstructure of composite solder. However, further increase of Cu additions decreased the shear strength, which may be attribute to the relatively more primary β-Sn grains, the gathered Cu6Sn5 IMCs and the coarse eutectic structure. The Cu nanoparticles addition of 1.0% in Sn-58Bi is the optimal addition ratio to get well dispersed microstructure.

Shimensi tungsten deposit was discovered in 2010 at Dahutang area, where the world's largest tungsten deposit was found. The deposit is genetically associated with the Late Mesozoic granitoids. The intersection of Shimensi fracture and Xianguoshan-Dahutang-Shiweidong basemental fractures controls emplacement of the ore-bearing granite and distribution of W-polymetallic deposits. The mineralization types of the deposit are divided into veinlet-disseminated type, cryptoexplosion breccia type and quartz thick vein type. The veinlet-disseminated type deposit accounts for about 90 % of total reserves. The host rock of the veinlet-disseminated type deposit is the Late Jinningian biotite granodiorite and the mineralization mother rocks is a Late Mesozoic porphyraceous biotite granite. The veinlet-disseminated orebdies are stratiform-like with gentle occurrence and are appromately parallel to the contact surface of biotite granodiorite and the top of porphyraceous biotite granite stock. The metallicminerals in the orebdies, accounting for about 1% to 2%, are mostly scheelite, wolframite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite and pyrite. The gangue minerals are mainly quartz, feldspar, biotite and clay minerals. The textures of ores are mostly xenomorphic, idiomorphic-hypidiomorphic granular textures and structures of ores are sparsely disseminated or dense disseminated and veinlet. The major ore bodies are labelled as Ⅰ1 andⅡ1. TheⅠ-1 Orebody accounts for 57% of the total amount and Ⅱ-1 Orebody accounts for 32.7%.

To develop ZnO-based deep ultraviolet (UV) detectors, we have explored the MgxZn1-xO system as a new approach for the bandgap engineering of ZnO. MgxZn1-xO epitaxial films with different Mg contents (x = 0 to 0.327) were grown on c-sapphire substrates using the radio-frequency (RF) plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (PA-MBE). We have novel buffer layers designs to improve their crystal qualities and used x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmittance spectra to characterize the epi-films. Prototypes of UV detectors with the metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structure were fabricated and tested, which showed high responsivity and a good signal-to-noise up to three orders of magnitude under 1 V bias, as well as the demonstration of blue-shift tuning of responsivity for MgxZn1-xO-based detectors with Mg doping. These achievements should provide valuable insights and experiences for the MgxZn1-xO-based materials and devices.

In this article, a Back-Propagation (BP) neural network model is developed for prediction of the corrosion loss of low alloy steel in the atmosphere. The model is built on the corrosion database of 17 low alloy steels exposed in the atmosphere in Guangzhou. An artificial fish-swarm algorithm (AFSA) in dealing was modified for optimization of the BP neural network. Using the optimized model, the effects of chemical elements on the corrosion resistance of low alloy steel in the atmosphere was analyzed. The involved elements were Cu, Cr, Ni and Mo for commonly-used ones to enhance corrosion resistance and the other ones of Mn and Mo. The results indicate that the model can well predict the corrosion loss of low alloy steels. It is also demonstrated that the elements of Mo, Ni, Cu and improve the corrosion resistance, while Cr abnormally has detrimental impact continuously. Owning to its prediction capacity, the model can serve as the method for optimum design of low alloy steel for service in a similar environment.

The charge density, electronic energy band and density of states of Au-doped armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) with one-edge are investigated using the local density approximation based on density function theory. Our results indicate the charge density is transferred and mainly located on the Au atoms. The one-edge Au -doped AGNRs have low formation energy. So we predict that one-edge Au-doped AGNRs is an energetically favorable practice. The energy band structure of Au-doped AGNRs shows extra bands at near Fermi level in the valence band, which is cause to promote conductivity. The project density of states is calculated and reveals that the localization and hybridization between C-2p and Au-6s, 6p, 5d electronic states are much stronger in the valence band and the conduction band group. A localization state is induced due to the absence of the bonding charge between Au and H atoms, which contributes to H-1s electronic states at -0.13 eV near the Fermi level. It causes Fermi level is crossed by the conduction band to make becoming metallic.

Influences of road on plant species diversity are more and more concerned by the road ecologists. In this paper, line transect method was employed to have an investigation to 4 types of wetlands, ocean-side grassland, marsh wetland, paddy field wetland, salt pond and the aquafarm along the coastal highway in Liaoning, China. The species composition and the gradient change law of species diversity had been discussed. The result has shown that on the gradient outward from the highway: (1) the farther from the highway, the more plant species are approximate to the local species; (2) the species richness of ocean-side grassland and marsh wetland presents a pattern of gradual increasing, while the richness of both the paddy field wetland and salt pond presents a trend of first increasing and then decreasing; (3) Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Pielou evenness index, Sφrenson index and Cody index of the community are of basically consistent change pattern, all presenting the form of first increasing and then decreasing. These analyses suggest that the highway has a significant influence on the species diversity; in the area adjacent to the road, the change of diversity is mainly associated with the habitat of different position from road, while with the increasing of distance from the road, the change of diversity has been gradually weakened; from the perspective of the influence range of road, the slope outside the ditch (about 10 m away from the road) is the area with the most abundant diversity.

A microbial fuel cell (MFC)-based biosensor can be used to detect the water toxicity. High sensitivity is required for practical application. In this study, the configuration of MFC, detection time, substrate concentration, external resistance and anode material were optimized to obtain high sensitivity. The results showed that compared to double-chamber MFC, single-chamber MFC with a simpler structure and higher peak voltage, was easier to operate and more suitable for water quality monitoring. When using the single-chamber MFC to test water quality, the optimal detection time was 4h. The optimal substrate (NaAc) concentration was 0.5mg/mL and the sensitivity decreased with the NaAc concentration. The optimal external resistance was equal to the internal resistance. Anode materials had a significant effect on the sensitivity of MFC biosensor and MFC using carbon cloth as anode material had higher sensitivity than using layered corrugated carbon. In the optimum condition, the MFC biosensor could detect 0.1mg/L Cd2+ shock and 1mg/L Cu2+ shock and could be developed for industrial wastewater monitoring.
