The electrochemical corrosion behavior of as-cast Mg-7Li alloy in 3.5wt% NaCl aqueous solution was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrochemical workstation. Results showed that the Ecorr and the Icorr of Mg-7Li alloy were -1.5857V and 2.235×10-4A/cm2, respectively. The cathode process was chiefly the hydrogen evolution reaction, and the corrosion rate of Mg-7Li alloy was mainly controlled by anode dissolution. The corrosion products on the alloy surface consisted of Mg(OH)2, Li2O2 and Al(OH)3. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of Mg-7Li alloy contained two capacitive loops and one inductive loop. The inductance value increased to 250 ohm•cm-2 with a rise in frequency at low frequency region. The value of capacitive reactance decreased with increasing frequency at medium frequency. The capacitive reactance maintained the value of 50 ohm•cm-2 with increasing frequency at high frequency region.

Thz Absorption

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is an effective coherent detection technique for deeply understanding the structures and functions of biomolecules. However, generally not full information in the whole THz range can be obtained due to the limited detection bandwidth (usually less than 5 THz) of the traditional THz-TDS systems. In this paper, effective THz absorption spectra in 0.5–10 THz range of five typical nucleobases of DNA/RNA are characterized with a super broadband THz detection technique, called the air-biased- coherent-detection (THz-ABCD) technique. Few unexpected characteristic absorption peaks appeared in the low-frequency region and meanwhile a series of anticipated characteristic absorption peaks are found in the high-frequency region. The fingerprint spectra of these nucleobases are helpful for further analysis on the vibration and twisting behavior of hydrogen bonds, van der Waals and electrostatic forces etc. between and within DNA/RNA biomolecules.

Polycrystalline ( Bi 0.94-x Dy x Na 0.94)0.5 Ba 0.06 TiO 3 ceramics (x = 0, 0.04, and 0.08, designated as BNBT6, BNBT6: 4Dy and BNBT6: 8Dy, respectively) were prepared by conventional high temperature sintering method. The X-ray diffraction patterns show pure perovskite structure with no secondary phases. Lattice parameters and unit cell volumes have decreased due to Dy2O3 substitution. SEM micrographs revealed denser samples (ρrel > 97%) with uniformly distributed grain sizes. The room temperature piezoelectric properties of Dy2O3 substituted sample at x = 0.04 were relatively higher: d33 = 147 pC/N, k p = 28% and Q m = 128. The samples exhibited infinitesimal change in thickness (≈ 15 nm) to an applied voltage of 100 V, which could be utilized in actuator applications. Relaxor behavior and broad dielectric maxima with diffuse phase transition were observed. The value of RT dielectric constant has increased while dielectric loss was decreased due to Dy2O3 substitution. Conductivity in the materials obeys Jonscher's universal power law. The conductivity in the low frequency region is associated with short range translational hopping while it is associated with the reorientational hopping in the high frequency region. The charge carrier concentration term remained constant over the entire temperature range of (30–500°C).

The particulate composites with general formula (y) Ni 0.85 Cd 0.1 Cu 0.05 Fe 2 O 4 + (1 - y) BaTiO 3, (0.0 < y < 1.0) were synthesized by conventional double sintering ceramic technique. The formation of cubic spinel structure in ferrite phase and tetragonal perovskite structure in ferroelectric phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The surface morphology with average grain size of the composites was studied by SEM measurements. The study of variation of dielectric constant with frequency (20 Hz to 1 MHz) shows dielectric dispersion behavior in the low frequency region and almost constant at high frequency region. The linear variation in a.c conductivity with frequency shows small polaron type of conduction mechanism in the composites. The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) was used to study the magnetic properties such as saturation magnetization and magnetic moment.

In this paper, we report the synthesis, phase formation, and basic characterization of polycrystalline Bi2Fe4O9, Bi1.98Ba0.02Fe4O9, and Bi1.98Ce0.02Fe4O9 samples prepared by the sol-gel technique. The crystal structure of the prepared samples has been characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering spectroscopy. All the obtained XRD peaks can be indexed to the orthorhombic Pbam structure and reveal the formation of Bi2Fe4O9. The Raman spectrum identifies Ag, B2g, and B3g active optical phonon modes. The crystallite size and morphology of the nanoparticles have been analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Dielectric constant (ε′) decreases as the frequency increases, and it is constant at the higher frequency region which can be explained based on the ionic conduction phenomenon in the low frequency region. The ε′ values of Bi2Fe4O9(650–850), Bi2Fe4O9(800–850), Bi1.98Ba0.02Fe4O9, and Bi1.98Ce0.02Fe4O9 samples at 10 Hz frequency are about 37, 75, 90, and 393, respectively. The observed properties signify that these materials are very useful in advanced technological and practical applications.

AC and DC conductivities have been measured by using the real (e¢) and imaginary (e¢¢) parts of the dielectric constant data of glass and glass-ceramics (GC) at different temperatures in the rage 297-642K and in the frequency range 100 Hz to 10 MHz. Using Anderson –Stuart model, we have calculated the activation energy, which is observed to be lower than that of the DC conductivity. The analysis for glass/glass-ceramics indicates that the conductivity variation with frequency exhibits an initial linear region followed by nonlinear region with a maximum in the high-frequency region. The observed frequency dependence of ionic conductivity has been analyzed within the extended Anderson–Stuart model considering both the electrostatic and elastic strain terms. In glass/glassceramic the calculations based on the Anderson-Stuart model agree with the experimental observations in the low frequency region but at higher frequencies there is departure from measured data.

The Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements of Sol-gel synthesized ZnO, CuO and their respective hydrogenated phases (ZnO:H and CuO:H) for  a proton-type battery model has been reported for the first time. The XRD patterns confirmed that CuO and ZnO were phase pure with minor impurities. However, that of CuO:H showed mixed phases of CuO and Cu2O with the later  appearing prominent. The estimated particle sizes of ZnO, ZnO:H, CuO and CuO:H obtained using Scherrers’ equation were 17.83, 17.75, 21.63 and 15.42 nm respectively, showing remarkable particle size reductions upon hydrogenation as oxygen vacancies were substituted with smaller hydrogen ions. Nyquist plots from the EIS experimental data recorded over a frequency range of 100 kHz – 5 mHz showed expected flat semicircles at the high frequency region and straight lines at the low frequency regions while resistance estimations from the intercepts of the Bode plots were 12.10, 7.80, 16.00 and 10.80 Ω for ZnO, ZnO:H, CuO and CuO:H respectively. It also indicated high gain margins suggesting impressive electrochemical properties for battery applications.

A new approach of using a polymer hybrid nanocomposite coating to modify the surface of titanium and its alloys is explored in this study. Electrostatic spray coating process is used to deposit the coating on the plasma-treated substrates for better adhesion. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been selected as the parent matrix for the coating due to its biocompatibility and excellent tribological properties. However, to improve its load-bearing capacity carbon nanotubes (CNT’s) (0.5, 1.5, and 3 wt.%) are used as reinforcement and to further enhance its performance, different weight percent of hydroxyapatite (HA) (0.5, 1.5, 3, and 5 wt.%) are introduced to form a hybrid nanocomposite coating. The dispersion of CNT’s and HA was evaluated by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of the nanocomposite coatings was evaluated by performing potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic tests in simulated body fluid. Tribological performance of the developed hybrid nanocomposite coating was evaluated using a 6.3 mm diameter stainless steel (440C) ball as the counterface in a ball-on-disk configuration. Tests were carried out at different normal loads (7 N, 9 N, 12 N, and 15 N) and a constant sliding velocity of 0.1 m/s. The developed hybrid nanocomposite coating showed excellent mechanical properties in terms of high hardness, improved scratch resistance, and excellent wear and corrosion resistance compared to the pristine UHMWPE coatings.
