Fabrication of optimized partial-reflection coatings for mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers

This study presents both numerical modeling and experimental fabrication of three different partial-reflection (PR) coatings each optimized for quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) that emit radiation in the mid-infrared range. A novel double-layer PR coating comprising silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) was proposed as a potential solution for compatibility with QCLs fabrication processes. Subsequently, the PR coating was compared with two well-known PR coatings: a single layer of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and a single layer of yttrium oxide (Y2O3). The coatings were designed to reduce the reflectivity of the front laser mirror from 30% to approximately 13%. The thickness of the dielectric layers was optimized for lasers emitting at 4.4 μm, with applicability in the 2.5–6 μm range. The proposed double-layer coating achieved the desired reflectivity while reducing the total coating thickness by 120 nm. By using the presented coatings it will be possible to increase the optical power of Mid-Infrared QCLs.

Dual‐Phase Enabled Sinusoidal Current Anodizing for Efficient Preparation of High Specific Capacitance Anode Aluminum Foils

The anodized aluminum oxide prepared by anodizing is the core of aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and its quality determines the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The traditional direct current (t‐DC) anodizing method commonly used in industrial production today with low current density has the problems of low anodizing efficiency, poor crystallinity, and high formation constants of the oxide film. However, high current density direct current anodizing has the problems of severe defects of the oxide film and much thermal dissolution of aluminum foil. Herein, the dual‐phase enabled sinusoidal current (DESC) anodizing method is proposed for the preparation of 200 V anodized aluminum foil with much higher efficiency and performance. After testing, it is found that the alumina prepared by the DESC method has higher crystallinity and fewer defects. Consequently, the specific capacitance of the DESC sample is 23% greater than that of the t‐DC anodized sample, while the former displays a lower loss angle tangent and leakage current. Meanwhile, DESC anodizing takes 60% time less than t‐DC anodizing due to its high current density. The DESC anodizing method has been identified as a promising avenue for further investigation, exhibiting high efficiency and performance.

Absence of genotoxicity following pulmonary exposure to metal oxides of copper, tin, aluminum, zinc, and titanium in mice.

Inhalation of nanosized metal oxides may occur at the workplace. Thus, information on potential hazardous effects is needed for risk assessment. We report an investigation of the genotoxic potential of different metal oxide nanomaterials. Acellular and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were determined for all the studied nanomaterials. Moreover, mice were exposed by intratracheal instillation to copper oxide (CuO) at 2, 6, and 12 μg/mouse, tin oxide (SnO2) at 54 and 162 μg/mouse, aluminum oxide (Al2O3) at 18 and 54 μg/mouse, zinc oxide (ZnO) at 0.7 and 2 μg/mouse, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and the benchmark carbon black at 162 μg/mouse. The doses were selected based on pilot studies. Post-exposure time points were 1 or 28 days. Genotoxicity, assessed as DNA strand breaks by the comet assay, was measured in lung and liver tissue. The acellular and intracellular ROS measurements were fairly consistent. The CuO and the carbon black bench mark particle were potent ROS generators in both assays, followed by TiO2. Al2O3, ZnO, and SnO2 generated low levels of ROS. We detected no increased genotoxicity in this study using occupationally relevant dose levels of metal oxide nanomaterials after pulmonary exposure in mice, except for a slight increase in DNA damage in liver tissue at the highest dose of CuO. The present data add to the body of evidence for risk assessment of these metal oxides.

Repercussion of quadratic density variation on nonlinear mixed convective Darcy–Forchhimer Al2O3, Cu\\EG flow over an inclined plate with exponential heat source and Arrhenius equation

Generating and controlling energy at high temperatures is extremely challenging in solar energy applications with hybrid nanofluids (HNFs). This challenge is tackled with nonlinear changes in density with temperature and concentration. Hence, a nonlinear Boussinesq approximation is taken on Darcy – Forchhimer hybrid flow containing aluminium oxide ( A l 2 O 3 ) and copper ( Cu ) nanoparticles with base fluid Ethylene Glycol (EG) over an inclined plate at an angle of ξ = π 6 . The physical model is supported by a space-based exponential heat source (EHS) along with a temperature-based heat source (THS) in the energy equation and Arrhenius equation in diffusion relation with suction and blowing on the wall. The regulating equations are transformed into standard differential equations using the similarity conversions, and these equations are subsequently solved in MAPLE 2022. The thermal field is affected positively by EHS and THS parameters, which fulfil the purpose of including these parameters in the flow model. The rate of heat transport increment for Q E parameter by 1.04% for HNF whereas 1.06% for NF when Su > 0 . Also, Su < 0 heat transfer rate increases by 3.68% for HNF whereas 3.75% for NF. As A l 2 O 3 , Cu ∖EG HNF move from suction to injection, the Nusselt number reduces by more than 50%.

Fabrication-related impurity study of thin superconducting Al films using x-ray absorption spectroscopy

Superconducting aluminum thin films are integral to many astrophysics detector applications. Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we have studied the residues and adsorbates created during various standard lithography and etch steps, which are commonly used to pattern thin aluminum films into device structures. We have observed the formation of aluminum oxide as α-Al2O3 and aluminum fluoride as β-AlF3. We have observed correlations between these XAS signatures and the Al film’s microwave loss due to two-level systems. This study, which guides the way for future device optimization, further explores the chemical impact of different process steps, including standard silicon substrate wafer cleaning processes, sulfur-hexa-fluoride plasma etching, passivation with a fluorocarbon, and exposure to photoresist adhesion promoters during the lithography process with the help of control samples.

Unraveling the risks of nAl2O3 on harmful algal blooms: Insights from paralytic shellfish toxins production of Alexandrium tamarense

As one of the commonly used and cost-effective nanomaterials, nanosized aluminum oxide (nAl2O3) posses unique properties and chemical stability. However, its extensive use and resultant dissemination into aquatic ecosystems prompt concerns over the proliferation and repercussions of harmful algal blooms, particularly those caused by dinoflagellates producing toxins. This study investigated the sub-chronic effects of nAl2O3 on growth, physiological activities, and paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) production in Alexandrium tamarense. Results showed dose-dependent inhibition in growth (EC50 = 20.6 mg L−1), esterase activity, and photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) during the sub-chronic exposure (13-day). The internalization of nAl2O3 in microalgal cells and the significant decrease in the total cellular PSTs content were observed under high nAl2O3 concentrations (>40 mg L−1). The study also demonstrated a clear decrease in the content of some derivatives of PSTs (GTX5, C1/2, and GTX2/3) with the increase in nAl2O3 concentrations, accompanied by the induction of an unknown derivative. Excessive ROS production, dissolved Al, and physical inhibition were suggested as potential mechanisms for nAl2O3 toxicity and changes in PSTs toxin profile. Overall, this research enhances our understanding of the potentiated risks and threats on the possible concurrent events of toxic dinoflagellate, such as Alexandrium species and nanoparticles in aquatic environments.

Synergetic effect of hybrid surface treatment on the mechanical properties of adhesively bonded AA2024-T3 joints

ABSTRACT Improving the surface properties of AA2024-T3 aluminium alloys is crucial for achieving durable and sustainable joints. For this purpose, AA2024-T3 alloys were first sandblasted at 4, 5 and 6 bar pressures using aluminium oxide and glass sphere abrasives. Then, the sandblasted samples were subjected to the chemical surface treatment resulting in a hybrid surface process. The surface properties of sandblasted and hybrid surface-treated AA2024-T3 alloys were characterised by 3D image analysis, contact angle and roughness measurement. Additionally, single-lap joints were fabricated using adhesives with low and high viscosity. The effect of changes in the viscosity of adhesives and the surface properties of the AA2024-T3 on the mechanical properties of the joints has been analysed in detail. It was found that both sandblasting and hybrid surface treatments applied to AA2024-T3 alloys caused significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the joints. AA2024-T3 alloys, which were chemically surface treated after being sandblasted with glass spheres at 6 bar pressure, were joined using low and high viscosity adhesives, and the failure load of these joints increased by approximately 110% and 68%, respectively, compared to untreated samples. In the case of aluminium oxide usage, the increase rates were determined to be 93% and 43%.

Influence of micro-arc oxidation on the microstructure and dielectric properties of anodic aluminum oxide

To improve the dielectric performance of the anodic alumina film used in aluminum electrolytic capacitors, this study comparatively investigated the microstructure and dielectric properties of anodic aluminum oxide obtained through micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and conventional anodic oxidation (CAO). It is found that from the perspective of microstructure, the internal structure of the MAO treated oxide film has more and larger pores than that of CAO. This was attributed to the generation and overflow of numerous oxygen bubbles from within the oxide film at the locations where plasma sparks occurred during the process, thus forming larger pores. Regarding dielectric properties, the leakage current of the oxide film after MAO treatment was significantly reduced compared to CAO, with reductions of 58%, 56%, 64%, and 74% for the tested electrolytes Y1–Y4, respectively.

Insights of the Multimode Orientation-Dependent Initial Oxidation of Aluminum by First-Principles Theory Calculations.

A fundamental understanding of the oxidation mechanisms of aluminum (Al) alloys is of great importance for its applications in corrosion, catalysis, sensors, etc. In this work, we systematically investigated the first-stage oxidation behaviors of three low-index Al facets with O coverage up to two monolayers (ML) by using density-functional theory (DFT). The large negative adsorption energies indicated favorable oxidation on all three facets. However, distinctive structural and electronic changes induced by the adsorption of oxygen have led to different oxidation modes. More specifically, the oxidation process proceeded by "intercalating" into the subsurface region along the (111) plane out of the (110) facet with spontaneous O ingress into (110) far below one ML, as revealed by the electron density distribution, whereas the oxide ad-layer grew in a "layer-by-layer" mode on Al(111) and (001) facets. Moreover, various Al-O complexes with different atomic coordination numbers (CN), configurations, and sizes may be indicators of the tendency of an Al surface to be oxidized. Besides, the oxide phases formed on (111)/(001) and (110) assembled the Al-O bond distribution within α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3, respectively.

Impact of sol-gel synthesized α-aluminium oxide nanoparticles for the enhancement of transformer oil insulation properties

Transformers require advanced insulating materials that outperform mineral oil in terms of cooling, insulation effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and operational efficiency in extreme operational and weather conditions. As a result, emphasis has shifted to renewable and ecologically friendly materials. This change in emphasis is motivated by worries about the environment, fuel shortages, and the disposal of waste oil. Transformers have historically employed solid insulators like paper and pressboard as well as mineral or synthetic oil. However, the development of ecologically friendly insulating materials has been spurred by new environmental regulations as well as economic benefits. This research investigates the use of sol-gel synthesized aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles to improve the insulation properties of host transformer oil. The synthesized aluminium nanoparticles were characterized with X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and found rhombohedral structure, whose chemical composition was studied by energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDAX). Investigation using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) also revealed the production of AlOOH and hydroxyl vibrational bands at wavenumbers of 690 and 2976 cm−1, respectively. Studies using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed that the nanoparticles are spherical in form and have a diameter of around 38 nm. Additionally, the incorporation of α-aluminium oxide nanoparticles into the host oil showed an improvement in the breakdown voltage and suggested a possible use for better transformer oil insulation.

Improved Optical Performance Analysis of YAG:Ce, NCS:Sm, and CAO:Mn Phosphors Physically Integrated with Metal-Organic Frameworks.

This research presents a thorough examination of the optical properties and performance enhancement strategies of synthesized phosphors, namely, yttrium aluminum garnet doped with cerium (YAG:Ce), sodium calcium silicate with samarium (NCS:Sm), and calcium aluminate oxide doped with manganese (CAO:Mn). The study delves into the synthesis processes of the phosphors, illumination of the crystal structures, and enhancement of luminescent characteristics. Additionally, the paper extends to the synthesis and analysis of {[Cu(μ3-dmg)(im)2]·3H2O} n (PKY159), and the coordination polymer (CP) was added the phosphors to explore a novel approach for enhanced optical performance. When the phosphor composites YAG:Ce, CAO:Mn, and NCS:Sm were made as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA; for homogenization, stabilization) thin films with the coordination polymer PKY159 included, the intensity values increased by 97%, 96%, and 79%, respectively, in comparison to their pristine form. Also, all phosphors along with the PKY159 additive were examined for their decay time kinetics, thermal stabilities, CIE chromaticity coordinates, and quantum efficiencies. The YAG:Ce, NCS:Sm, and CAO:Mn mixes exhibit good thermal stability in addition to internal quantum efficiency (IQE) values that are much higher than the phosphors' additive-free form (95.6%, 66.3%, and 84.6%, respectively). This increase is correlated to an increase in steady-state measurements. These comprehensive analyses contribute valuable insights into the design and optimization of phosphor and coordination polymer blends for improved optical functionality.

Comparative study of microstructural evolution and mechanical properties in friction stir processed, reinforced friction stir processed, and heat-treated reinforced friction stir processed Al composites

The development of friction stir welding (FSW) created the basic foundation for friction stir processing (FSP). This process entails refining the local microstructure and achieving the localised plastic deformation due to the stirring effect of the tool, which may involve adding additional filler material as required. The rotating tool involved in the process has a shoulder and pin responsible for heat generation for plastic deformation and localised mixing. The rotating tool is inserted and traversed on the desired surface, tailoring the material properties. The tool’s exposure to the surface causes localised plastic deformation and thermal gradient, and microstructural changes occur locally. The present investigation uses Friction Stir Processing (FSP) to fabricate an aluminium metal matrix composite. Recently, the use of aluminium alloy has been replaced by composites because of their increased mechanical and physical properties (specific properties). The experiment leads to manufacturing an aluminium metal matrix composite using aluminium oxide, boron carbide and commercially pure copper dust. Later, the effect of heat treatment on the respective metal matrix composite is studied. A comparative study among three different types of FSP techniques viz. FSP, Reinforced FSP, and Heat-treated Reinforced FSP have been performed. The tool revolution speed (RPM) and tool traverse speed of 400 RPM and 10 mm/min had been implemented, respectively. The T4 Heat-Treatment cycle was used during the current investigation. This investigative study was performed to analyse the changes in grain sizes and hardness values at the stir zone (SZ), thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ), heat affected zone (HAZ) and on the base materials (BM) of the samples. The reinforced FSP metal matrix composite (MMC) showed an 81.26% increase in the micro-hardness value (HV) compared to the base metal. Further on analysing the microstructures, the reinforced FSP composite showed a 65.20% reduction in grain size. Moreover, the Heat-Treated sample showed an increase in the micro-hardness value by 99.8%.

Catalytic amination of 1,6-hexanediol for synthesis of N, N, N’, N’-tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine over Cu/Ni/Zn catalysts

Synthesis of N, N, N’, N’-tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine(TMHDA) by the amination of 1,6-hexanediol(HDO) and dimethylamine(DMA) at normal pressure over an outstanding Cu/Ni/Zn catalyst supported on aluminum oxide(γ-Al2O3) was studied in this article. Cu/Ni/Zn/γ-Al2O3(Cu: Ni: Zn = 28: 7: 12) exhibited excellent catalytic performance, which HDO was almost completely transformed and TMHDA reached 85 % selectivity at 200 °C. The amination of HDO required two hydrogenations and two dehydrogenations, and the selectivity of the amination catalyst depended on the balance of dehydrogenation and hydrogenation. Various characterization (TEM, BET, XRD, H2-TPR, XPS) demonstrated that the addition of Zn to the Cu/Ni catalyst could reduce the agglomeration of Cu/Ni particles and change the valence distribution of Cu. The Cu/Ni/Zn/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was a very promising and green method for the synthesis of tertiary diamines through amination of diols.

Aluminium oxide and graphene reinforced with ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites offer significant potential for prosthetic and implant applications due to their unique combination of properties. In this article, a series of aluminium oxide and graphene reinforced with ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites were successfully fabricated through compression moulding. The average hardness of all the composites was observed to be higher than the UHMWPE (6.1 Hv). Composite U-15A-5 G was found to be the hardest with hardness of 10.5 Hv owing to strong bond between Al2O3 and UHMWPE. The compression strength of the U-15A-5 G material was about 81.936 MPa, which is 40.9% better than the pure UHMWPE. The compression modulus was about 330 MPa which is 22.2% higher than neat UHMWPE. Composite samples were tribo tested under simulated body fluid (SBF) lubricating environment. Using combined entropy-COCOSO method it was found that 50 mm/s speed, 200N load and 5% graphene are the optimum tribological parameters. with Cof of 0.04 and wear rate of 4.8745*10−4 mm3/Nm. Microstructure analysis indicated that long-range structured lamellar structures and microfibers were created between the crystals with the assistance of graphene layers. Apatite layer was also found on the sample. The apatite layer included phosphate and carbonate ions, which is good for in vitro bioactivity on polymeric films. This composite is a good candidate for prosthetics and implant components.

Cell membrane-inspired COF/AAO hybrid nanofluidic membrane with ion current rectification properties for ultrasensitive detection of E. coli

Nanofluidic membranes hold great prospects in sensitive and rapid detection of bioanalysts, while remaining lacking robust and general approaches for specificity. In this work, we introduce a cell membrane-inspired nanofluidic membrane with excellent ion current rectification properties as a simple and robust platform for label-free and ultrasensitive biosensing. The asymmetric nanofluidic membrane is prepared by coupling a two-dimensional covalent organic framework (COF) membrane to an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanochannel via hydrogen bonding. The prepared COF/AAO membrane presents selective ion transport due to the asymmetric structure and anion selectivity of COF. With the large surface area and abundant functional modification sites of COF, further grafting of the recognition unit can be easily achieved to mimic the recognition process of receptors and ligands on cell membranes. As a proof of concept, the application in bacterial detection is demonstrated by covalently bonded Concanavalin A as recognition units. The highly amplified ionic current based on ion current rectification properties of the COF/AAO membrane allows sensitive and selective bioanalysis. Specifically, the proposed asymmetric nanofluidic membrane presents a linear detection range from 10 to 106 CFU/mL with an ultralow detection limit of 7 CFU/mL for E. coli. This work reveals the great potential of COF/AAO hybrid nanofluidic membrane as a sensor for rapid and precise bioanalysis.

Environmental barrier coatings on alumina-reinforced CMCs: Experimental validation and numerical modeling of thermal stability

Recent advancements in ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), including SiC/SiC, C/SiC, C/C, Al2O3 reinforced Al2O3, face various challenges at high temperature applications, including grain growth, sintering, and creep deformation which are leading to strength loss. The new generation of Environmental Barrier Coatings (EBCs) must allow the protection of these CMCs when operating under harsh conditions, which can reach up to 1100 °C in some applications, such as gas turbines and certain reforming processes. In this work, 8 wt% yttria stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) applied by Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) on top of a porous alumina oxide matrix with reinforced alumina fibers Al2O3/Al2O3-CMC (OCMC), considering different interfaces, has been studied. Surface morphology and pre-treatment of CMCs is the most challenging part for thermal spray applications. Hence, two different surface structure were used in this work. The results show that the roughness of OCMC can be reduced from Rz = 41.8±6.8 μm to 20.3±1.1 μm with the new porous bond coat and plasma sprayed coating, resulting in a homogeneous surface morphology.. In terms of thermal stability, a numerical model that combines Object Oriented FEM (OOF) and Cohesive Zone Model CZM tools, has been developed to evaluate the effect of the porosity of the real microstructure and the characteristics of the interfacial roughness profile, respectively, in CMC/EBC structures. In addition, other materials, such as La2Zr2O7 and Y2O3, have been numerically studied in order to evaluate their suitability as EBC.

Investigating thermal conduction dynamics in ternary Carreau–Yasuda nanofluids under convective boundary conditions and exponential heat source/sink effects

The analysis of the Carreau–Yasuda nanofluid (CYNF) across a stretching surface has practical applications in several fields, such as heat exchange, engineering, and material science. Scholars may discover novel perspectives for increasing heat transfer performance, establishing advanced materials, and enhancing the efficiency of multiple engineering systems by studying the behavior of CYNF in this particular instance. The energy transfer through trihybrid CYNF flow with the effect of magnetic dipole across a stretching sheet is examined in the present study. The ternary hybrid nanofluid (THNF) has been prepared by the addition of ternary nanoparticles (NPs) in the water (50%) and ethylene glycol (50%). Titanium dioxide (TiO2), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) are used in base fluid. The fluid velocity and heat transfer are examined under the impact of Darcy–Forchheimer, chemical reaction, convective condition, activation energy, and exponential heat source. The fluid flow has been stated in form of velocity, energy, and concentration equations. The set of modeled equations is simplified to non-dimensional form of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using similarity substitutions. Numerically, the system of lowest order ODEs is calculated through the parametric continuation method. It has been noticed that the temperature field augments against the variation of viscous dissipation and heat source term. Furthermore, the magnetic dipole has significant impact to enhance the thermal curve of THNF whereas falloffs the velocity profile. It can be noticed that the energy propagation rate enhances with the rising numbers of ternary NPs, from 1.22% to 5.98% (nanofluid), 2.30% to 9.61% (hybrid nanofluid), and 3.23% to 11.12% (trihybrid nanofluid).
