This method required the fatigue test under constant amplitude loading and two-step loading for R = -1. In this paper, fatigue tests were carried out using high-strength aluminum alloy. In two-step loading for R = -1, two stress amplitude 1eve1s were used as the primary stress amp1itude and three cycle ratios were combined. The cycle ratio was defined as the ratio of cycles at the primary stress amplitude to the corresponding fatigue life. The fatigue limit and the fatigue life under the secondary stress amplitude tended to lower, as the cycle ratio under the primary stress amplitude increased. This tendency did not depend on the magnitude of the primary stress amplitude and the results were approximated with the same line. Hence, the method that had proposed for carbon steel under two-step loading could be applied to high-strength aluminum alloy. Then, the results of fatigue test for R = 0 were discussed using the equivalent stress amplitude, which was estimated by considering the stress amplitude and the mean stress. Under constant amplitude loading, the results for R = 0 approached to R = -1 by using the equivalent stress amplitude. For R = 0, the fatigue limits under two-step loading estimated by the simplified method were lower than the experimental ones, whereas the estimated fatigue life was in good agreement with the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":17366,"journal":{"name":"journal of the Japan Society for Testing Materials","volume":"52 1","pages":"1110-1115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85305083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper the focus is given on the detailed characterization of α-Fe2O3 thin films grown on c-plane sapphire substrates. α-Fe2O3 is an oxide semiconductor with the optical band gap of 2.2eV, exhibiting a weak ferromagnetic property, and is alloyed with α-Ga2O3 to develop promising potentials toward spintronic applications. The growth has been carried out by the mist chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method which has been developed by our group. In the experiment, we used water solution of iron acetylacetonate [(C5H8O2)3Fe] as a Fe source and air as carrier gas. The growth temperature was set at 500°C. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed the successful formation of corundum-structured α-Fe2O3 thin films. The full-width at half maximum of X-ray diffraction rocking curve was as small as 41arcsec. In-plane pole figure measurements indicated that α-Fe2O3 thin films were epitaxially grown on the substrate, but that rotational domains were contained with the volume ratio of about 0.7%. The atomic force microscope surface image showed many grains and the root mean square roughness was 1.26nm. These results showed the successful fabrication of highly-crystalline epitaxial α-Fe2O3 thin films on c-plane sapphire substrates, though further efforts to improve the surface morphology were suggested.","PeriodicalId":17366,"journal":{"name":"journal of the Japan Society for Testing Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"686-689"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90923333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we particularly present an approach for measuring refractive index of resin in real time without the effects of unexpected backward reflection. We applied this approach to measurement of refractive index of an epoxy resin during cure process, and experimentally confirmed that the change of the refractive index was stably measured in real time. Next, we proposes a new approach to calculate DOC from change of refractive index by eliminating effect of temperature change on refractive index of curing resin. This approach can quantitatively evaluate the DOC in real time, which is not obtained by conventional methods, and provide information in the small region at the fiber end. The experimental results of monitoring cure process of the epoxy resin showed that the DOC could be stably measured by this approach without effect of the temperature change. Furthermore, the DOC obtained by this approach was compared with the DOC curve by the thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimeter. These experiments revealed that the DOC by the present approach represented the curing condition of the resin regardless of the cure pattern and was easily translated into the DOC by the thermal analysis. The present approach of real-time quantitative evaluation of the DOC can be applied to fast cure reaction as well as slow reaction demonstrated in this paper.","PeriodicalId":17366,"journal":{"name":"journal of the Japan Society for Testing Materials","volume":"24 1","pages":"391-397"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86377533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dominant photoluminescence (PL) peak intensity at 621 nm, due to the intra-4f shell transitions of 5D0-7F2 in Eu3+ ions, became the highest when the sample was grown at 1000°C. Above 1000°C, the PL peak intensity decreased because of the lower Eu concentration associated with the surface desorption of Eu ions. On the other hand, although the Eu concentration of the layer grown at 900°C was only half of the layer grown at 1000°C, the pronounced decline in the PL peak intensity was observed with decreasing growth temperature from 1000°C to 900°C, which results from the modification of the local structure around Eu ions. These results indicate that the growth temperature strongly influences the Eu concentration and the local structure around Eu ions. Therefore, an optimized growth temperature exists for strong Eu-related luminescence from Eu-doped GaN layer grown by OMVPE.","PeriodicalId":17366,"journal":{"name":"journal of the Japan Society for Testing Materials","volume":"211 1","pages":"671-674"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74151529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
