The cooling efficiency of a magnetic refrigerator depends on its refrigeration capacity and operation frequency. Existing refrigerators possess limited cooling efficiency due to the low operating frequency (around tens of Hz). Theory predicts that reducing geometrical effects can increase the operation frequency by reducing the relaxation time of a magnetic material. As compared to other shapes, magnetocaloric wires transfer heat most effectively to a surrounding environment, due to their enhanced surface area. The wire shape also yields a good mechanical response, reducing the relaxation time and consequently increasing the operation frequency of the cooling device. Experiments have validated the theoretical predictions. By assembling microwires with different magnetocaloric properties and Curie temperatures into a laminate structure, a table-like magnetocaloric bed can be created and used as an active cooling device for micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) and nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS). This paper assesses recent progress in the development of magnetocaloric microwires and sheds light on the important factors affecting the magnetocaloric behavior and cooling efficiency in microwire systems. Challenges, opportunities, and strategies regarding the development of advanced magnetocaloric microwires are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":18650,"journal":{"name":"Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139001319","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}

Numerical models simulating landslides help us to predict the real landslide phenomenon effectively because they are not only time-saving compared to physical models but also acceptable accuracy. In this paper, the one-dimensional nonlinear shallow water equations using the global coordinate system are established as the proposed model governing equations. The hybrid finite difference-finite volume method, the implicit method and the automatical time step controlling technique are employed to stably simulate the landslide events over the high-steep slopes. To validate the proposed numerical model to the analytical solution, authors continuously derive the non-dimensional governing equations in one dimension as well as using the global coordinate system. The numerical results are in good agreement with the analytical solution. The proposed numerical model can be used to simulate the landslides and the landslide-induced tsunami events, especially for simulating the high-steep slope conditions.","PeriodicalId":18650,"journal":{"name":"Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139238004","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}

Graphite oxide (GO) was oxidised from graphite by the Hummer method, and then graphene was formed by the thermal-reducing GO method. The graphene was modified by dispersing it into a PVA solution with various concentrations and mass ratios to optimise the modification process. The graphene modified with PVA could be easily dispersed in water. Water-borne PU film-forming polymer was prepared by polymerisation reaction between isophorone diisocyanate with poly(tetramethylene glycol) and dimethylolpropionic acid. The carboxylate functional groups on the surface of the polymer particles make the polymer particles dispersed well and stable in water, so this polymerisation process does not use any surfactants. The characterisation methods included field emission scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (FESEM-EDX), specific surface area measurement, Raman microspectroscopy, resistance measurement...

Researching the sludge in the chromite mines and in comparison with manganese nodules found in the ocean floor helps to detect the presence of particles of iron and manganese (Fe-Mn nodules) in granular sewage sludges and in primary chromite ore bodies. Fe-Mn hydroxides, including todorokite mineral, are believed to be the adsorption medium and forming of Ni and Co in the Co Dinh placer chromite.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and Raman spectra analysis showed that at 1% doping concentration, Zn2+ ions were replaced with Ce3+ ions in the ZnO lattice. However, at higher concentrations (3 and 5%), the CeO2 phase was formed, preventing the diffusion process of Ce3+ ions into the lattice. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images showed that the obtained material had a particle size of several tens of nanometers. X-ray energy dispersive (EDS) spectroscopy and EDS mapping spectra revealed that the synthesised Zn1-xO:xCe3+ NPs had high purity and the Ce element was uniformly distributed in the sample. UV-Vis spectroscopy confirmed the strong interaction between Ce3+ ions and ZnO lattice, leading to increased light absorption in the visible region. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of ZnO showed two emission regions peaking at 389 and 650 nm, attributed to band to band recombination and defect types of ZnO such as oxygen vacancy (Vo) and/or oxygen interstitial (Oi), respectively. In comparison with ZnO, the PL spectrum of Zn1-xOx:Ce3+ (x=1-5) samples showed that the visible region emission appeared at new peak at 580 nm originating to the 3d → 4f transition of Ce3+ ions. As the doping concentration increased gradually from 1 to 5%, the 580 nm peak intensity increased, and the 389 peak intensity decreased significantly, indicating that Ce3+ ions inhibited the NBE recombination process of ZnO. This study suggested that Ce3+ doped ZnO NPs have a great potential for application in visible-light photocatalysis.","PeriodicalId":18650,"journal":{"name":"Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnam","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139237906","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}
