In order to improve properties of WCu alloy, the different La were introduced into W skeleton during sintering process. The hardness, electrical conductivity and the compression stress were tested, and the microstructure and composition were characterized by a scanning electron microscope. The results show that an appropriate rare earth La addition can purify W/W interface, enhance the bonding of W /W, and improve the densification and the integral properties of WCu alloy. In the range of experiments, WCu alloy with 0.3wt% La addition has the largest hardness value of 198HB and the maximum compression stress of 823N/mm2. In comparison with that without La addition, 0.3wt%La addition decreases the electrical conductivity slightly, but improves the hardness and the maximum compression stress significantly, which are increased by 23.6% and 57.2%, respectively.

The effect of the neodymium content on mechanical properties of the electro-brush plated nanoAl2O3/Ni composite coating was investigated in this paper. The microstructure and phase structure were studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness and abrasion properties of several coatings with different neodymium content were studied by nanoindentation test and friction / wear experiment. Results show that the coatings are much finer and more compact when the neodymium was added, and the hardness and abrasion property of the coatings with neodymium were improved obviously. Besides, the small cracks conduced by the upgrowth stress in the coatings were ameliorated when the rare earth neodymium was added. The improvement mechanism was further discussed.

Abstract The use of polymeric blended nanofibres is one of the recent applications in the food and liquid packaging. The current research aims to prepare the nanofibers coatings from the blend of polymeric materials via the electro spinning technique 0.08 weight ratio concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) dissolved in water, as well as, (0.2 weight ratio concentration ) of poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were used to obtain different volume proportions of (PVA:PVP) solutions include (100:0, 80:20,70:30, 50:50, 20:80, and 0:100). The electro spinning system was organized with pumping conditions (20 kV for the applied voltage, 20 cm pumping distance, 1ml/hr pumping rate) and a needle diameter with 0.4mm diameter. The properties of the polymeric solutions involve (viscosity, surface tension, and electrical conductivity of the liquid) were examined. A scanning electron microscope technique was used to study the surface properties of the prepared films, and the contact angle via the contact angle analyzer was examined. The results of a scanning electron microscope proved that the diameter of the nano fibers increases with increasing the concentration and viscosity of solutions and decreasing its electrical conductivity. Also, the results of the contact angle analyzer showed an increase the hydrophilic property via increasing percentage of polyvinylpyrrolidone.

Sungai Citarum merupakan sungai utama yang ada di Provinsi Jawa Barat yang sangat penting bagi kehidupan sosial dan ekonomi. Di bagian hilir, Sungai Citarum ini banyak melewati daerah pemukiman padat penduduk, daerah industri, dan bahkan pesawahan. Oleh karena itu, perlu kajian mengenai kondisi Sungai Citarum salah satunya dengan mengidentifikasi parameter electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolve solid (TDS), pH dan suhu serta karakteristik mineral magnetik pada sedimen melalui analisis sifat magnetik, mineralogi dan morfologi magnetiknya. Pengukuran parameter EC, TDS, pH dan suhu dilakukan secara in situ pada sampel air Sungai Citarum, pengukuran sifat magnetik dilakukan pada sampel sedimen yang telah dipreprasi, sedangkan pengukuran mineralogi dan morfologi dilakukan pada sampel sedimen yang telah diekstraksi. Sifat magnetik sedimen diketahui dari nilai suseptibilitas magnetik dual frekuensi yang diukur menggunakan Bartington Magnetik Susceptibilitymeter, sedangkan mineralogi dan morfologi magnetik diketahui berdasarkan hasil pengukuran scanning electron microscope–energy disperdsive x-ray (SEM-EDS) dan x-ray diffractometer (XRD). Hasil pengukuran secara in situ pada sampel air menunjukkan bahwa rentang nilai EC, TDS, pH dan suhu berturut-turut adalah (200–4120) mS/cm, (100–2060) ppt, 7,34–9,22, dan (26,8–32,6) oC. Sedangkan, hasil pengukuran sifat magnetik menunjukkan bahwa sampel sedimen Sungai Citarum bagian hilir memiliki nilai suseptibilitas magnetik frekuensi rendah (cLF) dengan rentang (65,00–173,80) x 10-8 m3/kg, sedangkan rentang nilai suseptibilitas magnetik frekuensi tinggi (cHF) adalah (64,90–165,70) x 10-8 m3/kg. Dari kedua pengukuran cLF dan cHF diperoleh rentang nilai cFD (%) sebesar 0,15–4,66. Selanjutnya, hasil analisis morfologi dari citra SEM-EDS dan analisis mineralogi berdasarkan pengukuran XRD menunjukkan dominasi jenis mineral magnetik pada sampel sedimen adalah magnetit. Mineral magnetit ini memiliki morfologi berbentuk oktahedral sebagai representasi mineral magnetik alami dan ada pula yang berbentuk spherule sebagai representasi mineral magnetik karena adanya proses oksidasi akibat kehadiran material antropogenik pada sedimen Sungai Citarum bagian hilir.

The electro-stimulated luminescence spectrum of a rare-earth ion added to zirconia (ZrO2) lattice was investigated with the aim of using it as a sensor for nano-scale stress (fluorescence piezo-spectroscopy) and phase transformation assessments in a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). In this paper, the selected rare-earth fluorescent ion Eu, added to ZrO2 as a raw oxide powder (Eu2O3) before sintering (in the amount of 1.0 wt. %). Spectroscopic results indicated that the spectral shift of some fluorescent band of the selected rare-earth ion was sensitive to residual stress and that the electron-stimulated spectra of Eu2O3-doped ZrO2 in its tetragonal and monoclinic polymorphs were different to each other. Based on these findings, the luminescent substance can be useful as a “stress and phase transformation sensor”, in order to clarify the elementary mechanisms behind synthetic ZrO2.

Abstract Two types of borosilicate leached SON68-type glasses were studied, one doped with uranium and the other with rare-earth element (Nd, Eu). Photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence properties of U doped samples have been correlated to microscopic features of the corroded glass. Nuclear analysis, Electronic Microprobe and Scanning Electron Microscope investigations revealed the heterogeneous composition of the gels with differentiated phases. Enriched U phases (crystallised or not) and phosphorus precipitated phases in rare earth gel have been detected.

AbstractScanning electron microscope-cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) analysis was performed for neodymium–iron–boron (NdFeB) and samarium–cobalt (Sm–Co) magnets to analyze the rare-earth elements present in the magnets. We examined the advantages of SEM-CL analysis over conventional analytical methods such as SEM-energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and SEM-wavelength-dispersive X-ray (WDX) spectroscopy for elemental analysis of rare-earth elements in NdFeB magnets. Luminescence spectra of chloride compounds of elements in the magnets were measured by the SEM-CL method. Chloride compounds were obtained by the dropwise addition of hydrochloric acid on the magnets followed by drying in vacuum. Neodymium, praseodymium, terbium, and dysprosium were separately detected in the NdFeB magnets, and samarium was detected in the Sm–Co magnet by the SEM-CL method. In contrast, it was difficult to distinguish terbium and dysprosium in the NdFeB magnet with a dysprosium concentration of 1.05 wt% by conventional SEM-EDX analysis. Terbium with a concentration of 0.02 wt% in an NdFeB magnet was detected by SEM-CL analysis, but not by conventional SEM-WDX analysis. SEM-CL analysis is advantageous over conventional SEM-EDX and SEM-WDX analyses for detecting trace rare-earth elements in NdFeB magnets, particularly dysprosium and terbium.
