RE3+ (RE = Pr, Sm, Tb, Tb/Ce)-activated CaAlSiN3 samples were prepared by a solid-state reaction method at high temperature, and their photoluminescence properties were investigated. An interesting observation is that the 5d bands of Pr3+ and Tb3+ are at rather low energy in CaAlSiN3 compared to oxides. Pr3+-doped CaA…

The effect of uniform distribution of fine cementite on resistance of ultra-high strength steels to hydrogen embrittlement was studied. The materials used were directly-quenched and tempered 1000–1300 MPa class low carbon steel plates for welded structures with lath martensite structure. Cementite morphology was diffe…

Secondary nucleation (e.g. due to attrition) and accidental seeding (e.g. from crust on the wall of vessels) are undesired events that often take place during industrial crystallization processes. The crystal size distribution is greatly affected by these events. The typically used open loop control strategies fail to…
