Ternary carbide in metal matrix composites constitute a big challenge in the industry, and in this regard their surface treatment is one of the most important issues. Ternary carbide (CuxTiyCz, where x, y and z are integers) thin films are synthesized by magnetron sputtering and characterized with respect to the film depth. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of Cu-2p and Ti-2p peaks shows the associated shake-up satellite peaks at a smaller film depth; the peak intensity is reduced at a higher depth. The relative intensity of Cu and Ti increases at a larger film depth. The optical band gap varies from 1.83 to 2.20 eV at different film depths.

We conduct a stochastic analysis to investigate the damping properties of polymer composites with viscoelastic matrix and elastic spherical inclusions. Since damping capability of polymer composites is directly related to the ratio of loss to storage modulus known as tan δ, we use computational homogenization techniques to investigate the effect of vibrational frequency, size and volume fraction of inclusions on tan δ. Our results show that tan δ is highly dependent on the frequency of vibrations as well as the volume fraction of inclusions. Our numerical analyses also show that tan δ is not sensitive to the size of inclusions as long as inclusions volume fraction remains the same.

The greenhouse is widely used in agriculture, and its covering material is one of the most important factors that affect its performance. In summer, the inner temperature of the greenhouse is usually too high for people to cultivate plants. In this work, a polymer matrix composite (PMC) was developed to reduce the inner temperature of the greenhouse without affecting the photosynthesis for the growth of plants. The PMC developed in this study was made of LDPE with suitable additives such as pigments, metal oxide etc. The morphology of the covering layer made of the PMC was observed with the atomic force microscopy (AFM). The transmittance of visible light and NIR through the cladding layer was measured with an optical fiber detector and used as the primarily performance index. Finally a simulated greenhouse was used to verify the cooling effect of the cladding layer. Experimental results showed that the PMC developed in this study gave more temperature reduction than that of the commercial PE covering.

Developement of computer technology provides much improvements on electron microscopy, such as simulation of images, reconstruction of images and automatic controll of microscopes (auto-focussing and auto-correction of astigmatism) and design of electron microscope lenses by using a finite element method (FEM). In this investigation, procedures for simulating the optical properties of objective lenses of HREM and the characteristics of the new lens for HREM at 200 kV are described.The process for designing the objective lens is divided into three stages. Stage 1 is the process for estimating the optical properties of the lens. Firstly, calculation by FEM is made for simulating the axial magnetic field distributions Bzc of the lens. Secondly, electron ray trajectory is numerically calculated by using Bzc. And lastly, using Bzc and ray trajectory, spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients Cs and Cc are numerically calculated. Above calculations are repeated by changing the shape of lens until! to find an optimum aberration coefficients.
