查看更多>>摘要:Perovskite functional ceramics have been widely applied for thermal protection owing to their unique physical properties.However,formation of oxygen vacancies under external stimuli usually limits their performance in practical applications.Therefore,the mechanism of the effect of oxygen vacancy on the layer structure of perovskite La0.9Sr0.1TiO3+δ was investigated by experiments and first-principles simula-tions.The experimental results showed that the lattice distortion occurred in oxygen-deficient environ-ment to give a longer c-axis,along with a significant adjustment in the modes of A/B-O bond vibration,resulting in lower reflectivity.Advanced transmission electron microscopy studies revealed that oxygen vacancies induced localized atomic rearrangements via[TiO6]layer movements to adapt to the lattice distortion.This eventually restructured a part of the layer interfaces by expanding the overlapping pro-jection of atoms in the c-axial direction.The specific transformation process was described as a com-pendious process,while geometric phase analysis effectively clarified how oxygen vacancies can inhibit reflectivity on the layer structure.Thus,this study provides effective approaches for researching the ef-fects of oxygen vacancy on the physical properties of orthorhombic layer perovskite structures,which may facilitate the development of perovskite-based functional devices.
查看更多>>摘要:This work investigated the dependence of deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties on cold rolling reductions of the metastable TB8 titanium alloy.Results shown that the crystal orientation of the matrix changes with the increasing level of reduction,leading to the activation of complex deformation mechanisms in the matrix.When the rolling reduction is 10%,the deformation mechanisms are dom-inated by dislocations and{332}<113>deformation twins.As the reductions increase to 20%-50%,the secondary deformation twinning(SDT)is triggered in primary deformation twins besides the primary kink band is activated.Meanwhile,the secondary kink bands and{332}<113>twins have be observed in the primary kink bands.When the reduction reaches to 60%,the deformation mechanisms are dominated by dislocations and deformation twins.Furthermore,the matrix refined by crisscrossing among the twins,kink bands and other deformation mechanisms during cold rolling,which shortens the dislocation mean free path and then affects the strength and shape of the alloy.The dynamic Hall-Petch effect and the interaction between multi-scale deformed structures control the work hardening behavior of the alloy.
