The influence of partial substitution of Fe by Co on the glass forming ability and soft magnetic properties of the Fe71-xNb6B23Cox (x=1, 2, 3, 4) metallic glasses were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). These glassy...

As a kind of new lubricant additive, Nano SiO2 particles exist in the form of particle cluster in suspensions. The objective of the present study is to put forward the lubrication behavior of Nano SiO2 clusters in water-based cold rolling liquid through cold rolling experiments of Q235 steel. PH values...

The geometrical structure, electronic properties, surface energy and formation enthalpy of Ni-rich Al-based quasicrystals cluster models have been studied with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) based on the density functional theory (DFT). Based on the first-principles calculation method,...

Monodisperse -Bi2O3 nanowires with the diameter of 50100 nm and the length-diameter ratio of 60100, were synthesized successfully by solution precipitation method, an efficient and convenient route, with the assistance of oleic acid. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscope...

Magnetic core/alumina shell (MFeCA) structured nanospheres were obtained by a hematite core/alumina precursor shell (HFeCAP) nanosphere precursor. A uniform alumina layer was coated on the surface of -Fe2O3 by the self-assembly of a stearic acid/alumina isopropoxide complex. Hematite cores of the nanospheres...

Palygorskite mineral nanomaterials are typical porous materials widely existing in nature and have many micropores and mesopores, which could play an active role in many fields such as thermal insulation functional additive for composite materials. Based on the above reason, this paper briefly summarized...

The built-in electric field across LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterointerface, which hosts two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), is studied by off-axis electron holography in transmission electron microscopy (TEM). On the contrary to the well-accepted polar catastrophe model, which indicates a Zener breakdown due...

In this paper, using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the carrier, a new type of heterogeneous material Pt-PdNiOx/CNTs was prepared by impregnation reduction method. By means of XRD, TEM, XPS and electrochemical analysis, Pt-PdNiOx/CNTs catalyst of the structure and in the methanol oxidation catalytic mechanism...

Epoxy resin/polyetherimide/graphene nanoplates (EP/PEI/GnPs) composites were prepared by solution blending, and the effects of GnPs on the phase structure and electrical properties of the systems were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM), digital ultrahigh resistance...

The preparation and attractive performance of cobalt nitroprusside/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CoNP/MWCNTs) composite electrodes, based on the electrochemical deposition of CoNP onto the surface of MWCNTs modified electrode, was described. The resulting CoNP/MWCNTs composites brought new capabilities...

200 nm-thick Ni80Fe20 films were deposited on anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) and SiO2/Si(100) substrates at 300 K by a magnetron sputtering system with the oblique target. The film grown on the AAO substrate has a network structure while that deposited on the SiO2/Si(100) substrate is continuous. The network...
