Porous Al2O3/Al catalyst supports were fabricated using a mixture of Al(OH)3 and Al powders, followed by pressureless sintering at a temperature of 600 °C in vacuum. Different pressures were used to prepare green compacts. High compaction pressure led to a high surface area and good mechanical and electrical properties for the sintered specimens. However, when the Al content in the sintered specimen exceeded a definite value, high compaction pressure decreased the surface area abruptly. Scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that agglomeration in the starting mixture has a significant effect on the microstructure of the sintered specimens. High compaction pressure greatly eliminated the agglomerates and led to a uniform microstructure for the sintered specimens. However, when the Al content in the starting mixture was too high, Al particles in the compacts prepared by the high pressure were largely sintered due to the high compact density so that most of the pores were closed. The present study indicates that a suitable compaction pressure is critical to obtaining superior Al2O3/Al supports.

Third-harmonic generation in a special asymmetric quantum well is investigated. The third-harmonic generation coefficient is carried out by applying compact-density-matrix method. The numerical results are presented for a GaAs/AlGaAs asymmetric quantum well. The very large third-harmonic generation coefficient is obtained in this quantum well. Moreover, the third-harmonic generation coefficient dependents on the quantum well parameters are investigated, respectively.

By using the compact density matrix approach, the electro-optic effect (EOE) in a semi-parabolic quantum well (QW) with an applied electric field has been theoretically investigated. Via a variant of displacement harmonic oscillation, the exact electronic states in the semi-parabolic QW with an applied electric field are obtained. Numerical results on typical GaAs material reveal that the electro-optic effect nearly linearly increases with the increasing of magnitude of the electric field, but it monotonously decreases with the increasing of confining potential frequency of the semi-parabolic QW. The EOE in the model investigated is 102 times larger than that in the symmetric parabolic QW under the same electric field and the same frequency of parabolic confining potential, which is due to the self-asymmetry of the system and the electric field effect.

The influence of electron–phonon interaction on third-harmonic generation in cylindrical quantum wires are investigated. The third-harmonic generation coefficient is obtained using compact-density-matrix approach and iterative method, and the numerical results are presented for GaAs cylindrical quantum wires. The results show that the third-harmonic generation coefficient is greatly enhanced after taking into consideration the influence of electron–phonon interaction. It is about thirty times larger than that obtained by just considering electron states when electron–phonon resonance is met.

The influence of additives such as MgO, NiO, and ZrO2 and impurities such as Na, K, and Ca on the sintering of alumina compacts has been the focus of a considerable amount of research. Since these additives affect compact density and grain size it is of interest to determine the behavior of the elements during processing. That is, it is important to know whether Ca and Mg segregate to grain boundaries or are located in the second-phase particles. Current results suggest that Ca is found uniformly at the grain boundaries and that Mg is accommodated in the second-phase particles.The present investigation is concerned with identifying second-phase particles in different commercially-produced Al2O3 compacts and studying both their structure and composition. Preliminary results have been discussed previously. The investigation has dealt mainly with two different alumina compacts. One compact was prepared from an initial powder containing 0.25% MgO, a small amount of intentionally added Ni, and was prepared by hot pressing.
