β-Zn4Sb3 is a promising candidate thermoelectric material with extraordinary low lattice thermal conductivity and high dimensionless figure of merit. In the paper, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of In-doped β-Zn4Sb3 compounds with nominal composition Zn4Sb3-mInm (0≤m≤0.18) were investigated to reveal the effect of indium doping on crystal structure and binding characteristics. The Rietveld refinement based on the XRD data indicates that the indium impurity preferentially occupies the 12c Sb(2) site in Zn4Sb3-mInm. The lattice parameter a increases and c decreases with the increasing m, accompanying with the lattice distortion and the bond length and angle modification. Indium doping enhances the occupancies of Zn atoms at the 36f Zn(1) and interstitial Zn sites, whereas the total occupancy of Sb and In atoms maintains constant. XPS analysis shows that the valence of Sb decreases and that of Zn increases with increasing the indium doping in Zn4Sb3-mInm. This implies that the negative charge might transfer from In and Zn to Sb atoms. Curve-fittings of Sb 3d photoelectron peaks prove that only the Sb atom at the 12c Sb(2) site is charged to more negative with the increasing m. Thus more Zn2+ ions near the 12c Sb(2) site are needed to maintain the charge balance, which is why the occupancy of electropositive Zn increases in the compound. The asymmetric Sb-In ionic bond forms by the In substituting Sb at the 12c Sb(2) site, which changes the vibration behavior of Sb-Sb dimer and leads to more dynamical disorders of the localized dumbbell vibrations in β-Zn4Sb3. These new lattice disorders in β-Zn4Sb3, introduced by the substitution of In for Sb, result in a much low lattice thermal conductivity of 0.49 W·m−1·K−1 of Zn4Sb2.96In0.04.

Dense graded material as a type of functionally graded material (FGM) changes its wave impedance gradually along the thickness direction. In this investigation, Al-W functionally graded material was fabricated via vacuum hot-pressing sintering method (VHPS). The results showed that densified Al-W composite was fabricated at 550°C-300MPa-120min which the relative density was higher than 98.5% without intermetallic compounds. The density graded material of Al-W FGM was attained at the optimized parameters which the component of Al was from 10% to 100%. The micro structure of Al-W FGM composite indicated that W particles in single-layer composite were distributed homogeneously. The density of each layer in Al-W FGM composite was consistent with the design value.

Bismuth strontium titanate ceramics are rarely used for energy storage. In this paper, the energy storage characteristics of bismuth strontium titanate ceramics (1-(x/3))SrTiO 3 -(x/3)(Bi 2 O 3 ·3TiO 2 ) were systematically researched. The traditional solid phase sintering method was employed for preparing bismuth strontium titanate ceramics. The frequency dependence of dielectric constant, the frequency dependence of the dielectric loss, and the DC electric field dependence of dielectric constant were measured. The energy storage density was obtained by integrating the area within the polarization axis and the discharge curve in the polarization-electric field (P-E) curve. Experimental results show that, when x=0.15, (1-(x/3))SrTiO 3 -(x/3)(Bi 2 O 3 ·3TiO 2 ) ceramic has high dielectric constant, fine frequency stability, high resistivity, low dielectric loss and weak DC electric field dependence of dielectric constant. And its energy storage density could achieve 1.63 J/cm 3 at 217.6 kV/cm electric field. Thus, it may possess the potential being used as a kind of energy storage dielectric material.

Laminated ZrB2-SiC ceramics with porous ZrB2 interlayers were successfully prepared by Spark plasma Sintering (SPS)/tape casting, laminating and Reactive Spark Plasma Sintering (RSPS). ZrB2-SiC plates were sintered by SPS. And ZrO2-B4C sheets were prepared by tape casting, which will undergo reducing reaction that produces porous ZrB2 interlayers during SSPS processing. The ZrB2-SiC plates and ZrO2-B4C sheets were laminated alternately and reactive sintered to laminated ceramics with porous ZrB2 interlayers. The porosity and thickness of the porous layers were controlled by the tape casting processing and sintering pressure. The microstructure of the laminated ZrB2-SiC ceramics was analysed and discussed in details.

Life is a typical chiral system,and chiral phenomena are ubiquitous in nature from macroscopic to molecular levels.1 For example,small natural biomolecules are mostly chiral molecules which show distinct chiral preference,e.g.L-amino acids,D-sugars, L-phospholipids,etc..They integrate together via multiple chemical bonding or weak molecular interactions to form biomacromolecules with special steric confomiations and functions,which further assemble to form organelles,cells,tissues,and organs.

Multilayered TiO2/ATO thin films were prepared by the spin-coating method to evaluate the electronic interactions and the effect of the experimental conditions on optical transparency, electric resistivity and carrier density. ATO chemical composition, number of layers and annealing temperature were modified to study their effect on the global properties of the TiO2/ATO system. TiO2/ATO films exhibited an optical transparency as high as 81 % in the visible wavelength and a strong absorption within the UV spectra. Electric resistivity as low as 3.4 × 10−1 Ωcm was measured for TiO2/ATO films. Optical properties were influenced mainly by the presence of upper TiO2 layer and ATO film thickness. The effect of ATO film thickness, composition and annealing temperature on TiO2/ATO transparency and resistivity are discussed.

Antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles with controlled doping level were prepared by a nonaqueous solution route, using alcohol as the solvent, citric acid as an agent, tin (IV) tetrachloride as tin source and antimony (III) chlorideas as antimony sources. As-synthesized samples were characterized by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron micrographs (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the content of citric acid was the most important processing parameter which was largely governing the reaction course and the complete incorporation of Sb. When the citric acid to metal mol ratio was 2, the particles were the highly crystallized ATO nanoparticles of about 20nm and the Sb atoms were indeed incorporated into the SnO2 crystal structure (cassiterite SnO2 ).
