Hydrophobicity accompanied by a decreased water absorption in a concrete material can be achieved through its formulation with hydrophobic silica particles. Despite this effect of hydrophobic additions to concrete, the water absorption and hydrophobicity of the final concrete materials can be affected by the water affinity of the coarse aggregates used for their preparation. The role of these coarse aggregates was studied in concrete with added hydrophobic silica particles and prepared with three coarse aggregates having marked differences in their water absorptions: quartz rocks (low), igneous andesitic rocks (medium) and igneous basaltic rocks (high). The hydrophobicity and water-absorption traits of the concrete materials depended on the coarse aggregates used in their preparations. The materials prepared with quartz as coarse aggregates produced less water-absorbing materials. In contrast, the use of igneous basaltic rocks produced materials with greater absorption. A pretreatment involving impregnation of the igneous basaltic rocks with hydrophobic particles before their use in the preparation of concrete material caused a significantly decreased water absorption.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47426970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anode diameter effect is studied in three inner diameters 5 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm. This effect on the discharge and plasma characteristics is studied using oxygen and argon gases. It was found that the optimum diameter is 10 mm. Moreover, the plasma density and temperature are investigated using a cylindrical Langmuir probe at the optimum diameter. It is found that the electron temperature reaches 1.6 eV and the electron density reaches 2.3x108 cm−3 in the case of oxygen gas. On the other hand the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis are used for chractrized the manganese cobalt doped ferrite (Mn0.5Co0.5Fe2O4) nanoparticles sample before and after oxygen plasma irradiation. The obtained results showed that cold plasma reactor is constructed with high efficiency to meet the required applications such as surface modification, plasma deposition and etching.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45351004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While examining the light transmission properties of both periodic and random one-dimensional photonic crystals, it is observed that the random 1D photonic structures have more favorable properties to meet these demands. With the influence of randomness, the novel single and dual-channel narrowband filters at 1550 nm wavelength for optical telecommunication are presented in this study. For designing the narrowband filters, the central wavelength precision, quality factor, and peak transmission are of great importance. The randomness can be attained by permuting the refractive indices of two dielectric materials via the binomial coefficient method. Wherein the light transmission properties are calculated using the Transfer Matrix Method. The proposed filters show ultra-narrowband transmission peaks with the very minimum Full Width at Half Maximum of 0.24 nm in the single-channel narrowband filter; 0.08 nm and 0.095 nm in the dual-channel narrowband filter at the chosen spectral region than the existing narrowband filters based on the defective 1D photonic structures.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44662381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The XRD and SEM results indicated that the alloy ribbon has a fully amorphous structure. The thermal behavior of the alloy ribbon was determined using flash differential scanning calorimetry (Flash DSC). According to Flash DSC results, the amorphous alloy ribbon exhibited distinct glass transition temperature (T g ) and wide supercooled liquid region (ΔT x = T x − T g ) before crystallization. Accordingly, T g and ΔT x are 195 °C and 63 °C, respectively. Mechanical behavior of the Mg-based alloy at room temperature was determined by means of Vickers microhardness (HV) tester. The microhardness value of the alloy ribbon was measured 336,8 HV. The discharge capacity of the Mg65Ni25Y5B5 alloy reached 313 mAhg−1. The cycle stability revealed that the alloy ribbon protected at least 76.7% of its initial discharge capacity at 12th charge-discharge cycle.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67478013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
