Three Stages

This study investigates the effect of the α/C14 interface on the creep strength of α-Mg/C14–Mg2Ca eutectic alloy at 473 K under a stress of 40 MPa. The α/C14 interface is composed of terraces and steps, with terraces parallel to the (1101)α pyramidal plane of the α-Mg lamellae and to the (1120)C14 columnar plane of the C14–Mg2Ca lamellae. The creep curves of the alloy exhibit three stages: a normal transient creep stage, a minimum creep rate stage, and an accelerating stage. The minimum creep rate is proportional to the lamellar spacing, indicating that the α/C14 lamellar interface plays a creep-strengthening role. In the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy image captured of the specimen after the creep test, <a> dislocations can be mainly seen within the soft α-Mg lamellae, and they are randomly distributed at the α/C14 interface. In contrast, dislocations are rarely introduced in the hard C14–Mg2Ca lamellae. It is deduced that the α/C14 interface presents a barrier to dislocation gliding within the α-Mg lamellae and does not help rearrange the dislocations.

Ferroelectric Domains

Tetragonal, rhombohedral and monoclinic ferroelectric domains can all occur in morphotropic PbZr1−xTixO3(PZT) ceramics. In this article, the influence of these domains on the splitting of reflections in selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns along the main pseudo-cubic zone axes is reported. The orientation of the domain wall in a transmission electron microscopy image with respect to the splitting of reflections in the diffraction pattern has to be considered for the interpretation. The distinction of tetragonal and rhombohedral splitting is achieved for a pronounced splitting except for 〈111〉 with the domain wall edge on. As the monoclinic structure contains tetragonal as well as rhombohedral distortions, the distinction of monoclinic symmetry from tetragonal and rhombohedral based only on the splitting of reflections is not possible. Conceivable models of configurations of monoclinic subdomains inside the existing tetragonal or rhombohedral microdomains are derived from group–subgroup relations. Some experimental observations are given, which can only be explained by these models.

Fractal Spectrum

Multifractal spectrums of sinter with different alkalinity were analyzed by multifractal software. The results show that sinter pore structure change from uniform to non-uniform with the improvement of alkalinity, Δα increases from 0.53 to 0.55. The structure of sinter pore is mainly microscopic by competition between macropores and micropores, Δf changes from 0.14 to-0.44. The distribution of sinter pores is quantitatively characterized by multi-fractal spectrum, which is consistent with transmission electron microscopy image.

In this study, a composite with magnetic properties has been successfully synthesized by a novel and environmentally friendly route and is applied to Cd(II) adsorption for water decontamination. The quantification of the phases obtained by Rietveld refinement has shown the presence of 84% of Mn3O4 and 16% of Fe3O4. Transmission electron microscopy image shows an aggregate of Mn3O4 nanoparticles without specific orientation and the predominance of octahedral morphology with nanoparticles size estimated around 25–30 nm. The Cd(II) adsorption isotherm is fitted using the Langmuir–Freundlich model. The estimated maximum adsorption capacities of Cd(II) at pH 6 and 7 are similar (0.28 ± 0.02 and 0.31 ± 0.02 mg/m2, respectively). The kinetic results show that the studied system follows the pseudo-second-order model. The Raman results indicate that Cd is being specifically adsorbed by the Mn3O4 in the composite. The hysteresis curve of the composite Mn3O4/Fe3O4 has changed when compared to the pure magnetite; however, the coercive field after the addition of manganese oxide remains unaltered and does not change with a value around 158 Oe. The turbidity tests showed that the magnetic sedimentation was efficient and promising for wastewater treatment in large scale. These materials can be conveniently recovered by magnetic separation, avoiding the filtration steps, which will make easier the solid–liquid separation operation that follows the adsorption process.

Ultrafine MgAl2O4 powders were synthesized by a nitrate-citrate sol-gel combustion process using Al(NO3)3·9H2O, Mg(NO3)2·6H2O and C6H8O7·H2O as initial materials. The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that single-phase MgAl2O4 powder could be obtained at 850 oC, which is much lower than that needed in solid-state reactions. Transmission electron microscopy image showed that the as-prepared powder was in the nano scale and little agglomerate exited. It is concluded that this process need shorter time, lower temperature, and simple equipments.
