Pure BaTiO 3 ceramics with various grain sizes were prepared by a conventional sintering method, a two-step sintering method, and a rate-controlled two-step sintering method. The permittivity of the ceramics increased with decreasing grain size when the grain size was more than 1.1 µm, while that decreased when the gr…

Rare-earth-activated BaY(2)Si(3)O(10) (BYSO) phosphors were synthesized via a solid-state reaction. BaY(2)Si(3)O(10):Ce(3+) yields an indigo-blue emission peak at 404 nm according to excitation at 334 nm attributed to the Ce(3+) 4f-->5d transition. BaY(2)Si(3)O(10):Tb(3+) typically generates green emission peaks resul…

A new strategy for the sintering of transparent lanthanum‐doped yttrium oxide was presented. This method is the extension of the well‐accepted two‐step sintering process for the densification of nanomaterials. The samples were firstly sintered at an intermediate temperature T1 (1450°C) in air. Then the temperature dec…

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the slow dynamics of a hard sphere fluid confined in a disordered porous matrix. The presence of both discontinuous and continuous glass transitions as well as the complex interplay between single-particle and collective dynamics are well captured by a recent extension of…

A fabrication of ZnO hierarchical mesocrystal was achieved by a biomimetic method using gelatin as structure-directing agent. It was found that the ZnO−gelatin microcrystal with well-defined hexagonal twin plate shape is built by the stacking of nanoplates. The irregularly edged nanoplates can adjust themselves to eac…

By using a multiscale theoretical method, which combines the first-principles calculation and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation, we studied storage capacities of methane in 3D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their Li-doped compounds at T = 243 and 298 K. Our results predicted that, at T = 298 K and…
