| 1 | Hydroxycalciopyrochlore, A New Mineral Species from Sichuan, China显示文摘Hydroxycalciopyrochlore, ideally(Ca,Na,U,□)2(Nb,Ti)2O6(OH), cubic, is a new mineral species(IMA2011-026) within the pyrochlore supergroup that was found occurring at the Maoniuping mine, Mianning County, Xichang prefecture, Sichuan Province, southwest China. The mineral is found in an alkali feldspar granite rare-earth ore deposit(26–27 Ma). Associated minerals include calcite, barite, celestine, albite, aegirine, aegirine-augite, fluorite, parasite-(Ce), thorite, thorianite, zircon, galena, sphalerite, magnetite, and pyrite. Crystals occur mostly as octahedra, and less often as dodecahedra and tetrahexahedra or combinations thereof. Some occur with an allotriomorphic habit with a thick triangular tabular form. Crystals generally range from 0.1 to 1 mm in size. The mineral is brownishblack, greenish-black and black on fresh sections with a brown streak. The crystal is translucent, and has a greasy lustre on fresh sections. It is metamict without any observed parting or cleavage and with a conchoidal fracture. The Vickers microhardness is 572 kg/mm2(5–6 on the Mohs hardness scale). The density measured by hydrostatic weighing is 5.10(3) g/cm3. The strongest four reflections in the X-ray powder-diffraction pattern [d in(I) hkl] are: 2.9657(100) 2 2 2, 1.8142(34) 0 4 4, 1.5463(21) 2 2 6, 2.5688(18) 0 0 4. The unit-cell parameters are a = 10.381(4), V = 1118.7(7)3, Z = 8. The structure was solved and refined in the space group Fd3m with R = 0.09. The empirical formula is(Ca0.74Na0.58U0.40Ce0.05Fe0.02□0.21)2.00(Nb1.15Ti0.80Ta0.03Al0.01Mg0.01)2.00O6.02 [(OH)1.01F0.09]1.10, on the basis of 2 atoms of B pfu; the simplified formula is(Ca,Na,U,□)2(Nb,Ti)2O6(OH). Type material is deposited in the Geological Museum of China, Beijing, People's Republic of China, catalogue number M11800. | YANG Guangming LI Guowu XIONG Ming PAN Baoming YAN Chenjie | 2014 | Acta Geologica Sinica(English Edition)2014,88,3: | 3 |
| 2 | A novel fabrication technique for three-dimensional concave nanolens arrays显示文摘A novel facile technique is proposed for fabricating three-dimensional(3D)concave nanolens arrays on a silicon substrate.The technique leverages an inherent characteristic of the polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA)resist during inductively coupled plasma(ICP)etching.The tendency for plasma ions to accumulate at the edge of the PMMA resist helps create a local electric field that causes the ions to etch the sidewall of the PMMA resist.This process progressively increases the uncovered area,resulting in a graded etched depth or a concave structure in the substrate.In addition,using a given ICP etching recipe,the time required for a PMMA resist to be removed by sidewall etching is determined by its width.The use of PMMA resist of different widths enables one to achieve structures of varying etched depths and thus a 3D lens array.Optical characteristics of the fabricated nanolens were simulated using the FDTD(Finite-difference time-domain)method,and focal lengths ranging from 150 nm to 420 nm were obtained.This type of nanolens is very useful in ultraviolet optical devices and CMOS image sensors. | Tianli Duan Kang Xu Zhihong Liu Chenjie Gu Jisheng Pan Diing Shenp Ang Rui Zhang Yao Wang Xuhang Ma | 2020 | Journal of Materiomics2020,6,3: | 0 |
| 4 | Effects of self-healing biomimetic subsoiler on tillage resistance, wearcorrosion performance and soil disturbance morphology under different soil types显示文摘Subsoiling has been widely used all over the world as an important operation method of no-tillage farming.For energy-saving and life-extension,the tillage resistance and wear-corrosion of subsoilers have attracted wide attention.In this study,the tillage resistance,soil disturbance,wear and corrosion of subsoiler with S-T-SK-2#biomimetic structures(S means subsoiler;T means tine;SK means shank;2#,h/s=0.57,h=5 mm andα=45°.)and self-healing coating under two seasons,two locations with different soil properties(black loam and clay soil)and subsoiling speeds(2 km/h and 3.6 km/h)were investigated.The soil moisture content and compactness affected the tillage resistance and wear-corrosion.The tillage resistance and degree of corrosion on all subsoilers were much larger in clay soil than that in black loam soil.Compared with S-T-SK-2#,the tillage reduction rate of C-S-T-SK-2#(S-T-SK-2#with self-healing coating)was up to 14.32%in clay soil under the speed of 2 km/h.The significance tests of regression equation results showed that subsoiler type and soil properties had a significant impact on soil disturbance coefficient,swelling of total soil layer,bulkiness of the plough pan.It is of a guiding significance for the analysis of soil disturbance.Synergism mechanism of subsoiler coupling with biomimetic structures and self-healing coating was analyzed in following.It depicted the guiding effect of biomimetic structure and the shield function of self-healing coating,resulting in anticorrosion and wear resistance of subsoiler. | Yueming Wang Chenjie Lu Jing Chen Chenhuan Cui Yijie Pan Wilhelm Pfleging Jiyu Sun | 2023 | International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering2023,16,3: | 0 |
