In previous experiments with positrons annihilating in liquid organic materials (Hogg et al.) the measurements of IN (intensity of the low momentum component from angular correlation data) and I2 (intensity of the long lived component from lifetime measurements) have resulted in IN = I2/3 within experimental error.For samples of CH4, C6H6, and C6H12 measurements in the liquid state yield the expected equality between IN and I2/3. However, in the solid state for these substances there is a marked disagreement between IN and I2/3. The value of IN, in all cases, is essentially zero suggesting that no positronium is formed, but the value of I2 remains large.

Experimental angular correlation curves for identically oriented single crystals of copper, silver, and gold have been obtained using "a point geometry" apparatus. The differences between these angular correlation data are compared to the differences predicted using a simple model of the Fermi surface combined with calculations of the theoretical core distributions.

The joining of a Ti3SiC2 ceramic with a Ti–6Al–4V alloy was carried out at the temperature range of 1200–1400 °C for 15 min to 4 h in a vacuum. The total diffusion path of joining was determined to be Ti3SiC2/Ti5Si3Cx/Ti5Si3Cx + TiCx/TiCx/Ti. The reaction was rate controlled by the solid-state diffusion below 1350 °C and turned to the liquid-state diffusion controlled with a dramatic increase of parabolic rate constant Kp when the temperature exceeded 1350 °C. The TiCx tended to grow at the boundarywith the Ti–6Al–4V alloy at a higher temperature and longer holding time. TheTi3SiC2/Ti–6Al–4V joint is expected to be applied to implant materials.

We develop an associative synthesis of metal–organic materials that combines solid-state metal oxidation and coordination-driven self-assembly into a one-step, waste-free transformation.

We propose a new optimization algorithm inspired by the formation and change of the cloud in nature, referred to as Cloud Particles Differential Evolution (CPDE) algorithm. The cloud is assumed to have three states in the proposed algorithm. Gaseous state represents the global exploration. Liquid state represents the intermediate process from the global exploration to the local exploitation. Solid state represents the local exploitation. The best solution found so far acts as a nucleus. In gaseous state, the nucleus leads the population to explore by condensation operation. In liquid state, cloud particles carry out macrolocal exploitation by liquefaction operation. A new mutation strategy called cloud differential mutation is introduced in order to solve a problem that the misleading effect of a nucleus may cause the premature convergence. In solid state, cloud particles carry out microlocal exploitation by solidification operation. The effectiveness of the algorithm is validated upon different benchmark problems. The results have been compared with eight well-known optimization algorithms. The statistical analysis on performance evaluation of the different algorithms on 10 benchmark functions and CEC2013 problems indicates that CPDE attains good performance.
