TiCoSb-based half-Heusler compounds with the substitution of Zr for Ti have been prepared quickly by combining high-energy ball milling method with spark plasma sintering technique, and their thermal transport properties have been investigated. With the increase of the concentration of Zr, the thermal conductivity of Til-xZrxCoSb compounds decreases significantly. Compared with the thermal conductivity of TiCoSb compound, that of Ti0.5Zr0.5CoSb decreases by 200% at 1000 K.

To describe the real world which is a harmonious unification world with both de- terminism and randomness, we propose a harmonious unifying hybrid preferential model (HUHPM) of a certain class of complex dynamical networks. HUHPM is gov- erned only by the total hybrid ratio d/r according to the practical need. As some typical examples, the concepts and methods of the HUHPM are applied to the un-weighted BA model proposed by Barabási et al., the weighted BBV model pro- posed by Barat et al. and the weighted TDE model proposed by Wang et al. to get the so-called HUHPM-BA network, HUHPM-BBV network and HUHPM-TDE network. These HUHPM networks are investigated both analytically and numerically. It is found that the HUHPM reveals several universal properties, which more approach to the real-world networks for both un-weighted and weighted networks and have potential for applications.

Highly conductive IrO2 thin films were prepared on Si (100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique from an iridium metal target in an oxygen ambient atmosphere. The effect of substrate temperature on the structure and electrical properties of IrO2 films was investigated. The deposited films at substrate temperatures ranging from 250 to 500°C under an oxygen pressure of 20Pa were pure polycrystalline tetragonal IrO 2 and the preferential growth orientation changed with the substrate temperature. IrO2 films were well solidified with the fairly homogeneous thickness and exhibited a good adhesion with the substrate. The room-temperature resistivity of IrO2 films decreased with the increase of substrate temperature and the minimum resistivity of (42±6) μΩ·cm was deposited at 500°C.

Nanocomposite WC-10Co powder produced by spray pyrolysis-continuous reduction & carbonization technology and cubic boron nitride (CBN) plated with titanium by vacuum vapor deposit were used, and this paper adopted spark plasma sintering (SPS) process to prepare CBN enhanced ultrafine WC-10Co cemented carbide cermets composite material. The microstructure and mechanical properties of CBN-WC-10Co composites were investigated. The results show that CBN-WC-10Co composites consolidated by spark plasma sintering can reach 95.0 % relative density, and transverse rupture strength (TRS) is 1050 MPa, the average grain size of cermets matrix is less than 420 nm, and CBN-WC-10Co composites with excellent properties are achieved. The CBN still remains very good crystal shape after 1240°C spark plasma sintering, and there is not obvious clearance between CBN plated with titanium and the cermets matrix, the coated titanium layer can not only improve the thermal stability of CBN, but also increase the properties of CBN-WC-10Co composites.

Three-dimension reconstruction from serial sections has been used in the last decade to obtain information concerning three-dimensional microstructural ge-ometry. One of the crucial steps of three-dimension reconstruction is getting compact and fairing grain contours. Based on the achievement of closed raw con-tours of ceramic composite grains by using wavelet and level set, an adaptive method is adopted for the polygonal approximation of the digitized raw contours. Instead of setting a fixed length of support region in advance, the novel method computes the suitable length of support region for each point to find the best es-timated curvature. The dominant points are identified as the points with local maximum estimated curvatures. Periodic closed B-spline approximation is used to find the most compact B-spline grain boundary contours within the given tolerance. A flexible distance selection approach is adopted to obtain the common knot vector of serial contours consisting of less knots that contain enough degrees of freedom to guarantee the existence of a B-spline curve interpolating each contour. Finally, a B-spline surface interpolating the serial contours is generated via B-spline surface skinning.

Using the microwave sintering technology, the effects of VC/Cr3C2 additions on the microstructure and properties of the ultrafine WC-10Co alloys were investigated. Experimental results showed that ultrafine WC-10Co alloys with 0.6% additions had the best properties while the excessive grain growth inhibitors would decrease the properties of alloys. Moreover, with or without additions, WC-10Co alloys with finely uniform grained WC by microwave sintering could be obtained.

Nano-sized turbostritic-BN (t-BN) was fabricated through chemical process using boric acid and urea in this work. By the same method, the AlN powders coated with nano-BN were prepared too. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) revealed that nano-sized t-BN was synthesized at about 600°C in nitrogen gas and it surrounded the surface of AlN particles. High-density AlN/BN nano-composites were fabricated spark plasma sintering (SPS). Microstructure and properties of AlN/BN nano-composites (5∼30vol% BN) were investigated. The h-BN flake particles were homogenously dispersed at AlN grain boundaries and within grains in the AlN/BN composites. A little nano-BN additions significantly improved the bending strength of the nano-composites. However, the bending strength was decreased with the BN content increasing. The thermal conductivity of AlN/BN nano-composites was investigated too.

AlN ceramics doped with yttrium o5xide (Y2O3) as the sintering additive were prepared via the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The sintering behaviors and densification mechanism were mainly investigated. The results showed that Y2O3 addition could promote the AlN densification. Y2O3-doped AlN samples could be densified at low temperatures of 1600-1700°C in 20-25 minutes. The AlN samples were characterized with homogeneous microstructure. The Y-Al-O compounds were created on the grain boundaries due to the reactions between Y 2O3 and Al2O3 on AlN particle surface. With increasing the sintering temperature, AlN grains grew up, and the location of grain boundaries as well as the phase compositions changed. The Y/Al ratio in the aluminates increased, from Y3Al5O 12 to Y4lO3 and to Y4Al 2O9. High-density, the growth of AlN grains and the homogenous dispersion of boundary phase were helpful to improve the thermal conductivity of AlN ceramics. The thermal conductivity of 122Wm -1K-1 for the 4.0 mass%Y203-doped AlN sample was reached.

Si-clathrate compounds, n-type Ba8 Ga16 Znx Si30-x (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), are synthesized by using the solid-state reaction method and the melting method. The effects of the replacement of Si with Zn on the structure and the electrical transmission characteristics are investigated for n-type Ba8Ga16Znx Si30-x. The results indicate that the sample with the value of x = 1 has the maximal bond angle distortion Δθ, Δθ = 4.4°. The electrical conductivity of samples with x = 0, 2, 4 is higher than that of samples with x = 1, 3. Among the samples, the electrical conductivity of Ba8 Ga16 Zn1 Si29 is the lowest. The samples with x = 0, 2, 4 exhibit a higher Seebeck coefficient than that of samples with x = 1, 3, and the value of the Seebeck coefficient decreases with the increase of the Zn composition. The power factor of Ba8Ga16Zn2Si28 compound is as large as 1.03 × 10-3 W/(m· K2) at 1000K.
