Synthesis method and application of rare earth hexaboride 2024-12-21
In rare earth borides, boron shows many unique physical and chemical properties because of its lack of electronic properties. There are six kinds of rare earth borides, namely RB2, RB4, R2B5, RB6, RB12 and RB66, among which RB6 cathode material has the characteristics of high melting point, high hardness, low evaporation rate and good chemical stability of non-metallic insoluble compounds, and is a functional material with excellent emission performance. With the continuous development of ion beam and electron beam applications, people have put forward higher requirements on the performance of cathode materials, hoping to further improve the electron emission density, extend the service life and reduce the working temperature. Many researchers have been committed to the preparation process, structure, properties and physical and chemical properties of RB6 research, and achieved phased results. In this paper, the preparation methods of RB6 powder, single crystal and polycrystal are briefly introduced, and the method of preparing PrB6 and (LaxPr1-x) B6 by using SPS (discharge plasma sintering technology) is emphasized. The development of new RB6 cathode materials is explored and its application fields are studied.
Basic research and application prospect of a new superconductor magnesium diboride (MgB2) 2024-11-02
This paper introduces the discovery, research progress and application prospect of a new superconductor magnesium diboride.) Both theory and experiment have proved that the superconductivity of magnesium diboride comes from the coupling of electric phonons, which can be described by the BCS image with S-wave symmetry wave function.) However, in the superconductor of magnesium diboride, it is found that there are two superconducting bandgaps, one at 6meV. The other one is around 2meV, and they both open at the superconducting transition temperature, which brings something new to the study of superconductivity mechanisms.) In mixed state physics, it has been found that there is a large gap between the boundary between superconductivity and normal state (upper critical magnetic field He2) and the flux melting line (irreversible line Hirr), even at absolute zero. The author proposed that this may be due to the result of the double energy gap or the quantum melting of the magnetic flux matter) In terms of application, it is most likely to make it into a superconducting magnet, using a closed cycle refrigerator to refrigerate at about 20K, which is very likely to replace the liquid helium temperature superconducting magnet used in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in medicine today).
MAX phase and MXene material 2024-10-19
MAX phase material is a natural layered carbon nitride inorganic non-metallic material composed of three elements, which has the electrical and thermal conductivity properties of metals, but also has the high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other harsh environment service ability of structural ceramics. MAX phase materials have gained extensive attention in the fields of high temperature lubrication, oxidation resistant coating, fault tolerant nuclear materials, self-healing composites and energy materials, and material scientists at home and abroad are actively carrying out a lot of exploration and research. China has made remarkable achievements in the field of MAX phase structural materials and MXene energy materials. With the development of synthesis technology and in-depth exploration of multi-disciplines, more and more domestic materials research groups have devoted themselves to the research of such novel materials.

Review on the application of vanadium 2024-06-22
In the iron and steel metallurgy industry, vanadium is an important alloying element additive, which can effectively increase the strength, toughness and ductility of steel, accounting for 85% of the amount of vanadium. In the aerospace industry, adding a small amount of vanadium to titanium alloys can play the role of strengthener and stabilizer, and the amount is about 10%. In addition, vanadium is mainly used as a catalyst and colorant in the chemical industry, with the amount of about 5%. In other industries, vanadium is also used to produce vanadium batteries, vanadium nanomaterials, vanadium films and so on.
