Role of the thermal treatment on the microstructure of YAGG nanopowders prepared by urea glass route
2023
Yttrium aluminium gallium garnet (YAGG, Y3Al2Ga3O12) doped with rare-earth ions has drawn large attention owing to its optical properties with applications ranging from persistent luminescent phosphors to nanothermometers. Herein, three different YAGG materials were synthesized via the urea glass route followed by thermal treatment, relatively undoped; doped with Ce3+, Cr3+, and Nd3+; and doped with Ce3+, Cr3+, and Yb3+. The garnet formation was studied in situ upon thermal treatment from 300 to 1000 ◦C using synchrotron powder diffraction. Our results show that with this method, the onset of formation of the garnet is about 860 ◦C, with comparable cell parameters for both undoped and doped…
Synthesis of yttrium aluminum garnet nanoparticles in confined environment II: Role of the thermal treatment on the composition and microstructural e…
2017
Abstract Nanoparticles of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ) have been obtained by thermal treatments, at several temperature in the range 400–950 °C, of the precursors synthetized via co-precipitation in water in oil microemulsion. The obtained nanoparticles have been characterized by means of X-ray Diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) and Select Area Electron Diffraction (SAED). Results show the phase evolution occurring to obtain not aggregated nanoparticles of YAG phase. A possible growth mechanism of YAG nanoparticles is discussed on the basis of observed particle microstructure and morphology. The results i…
Prediction of phase transformation of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy during hot-forging processes using a numerical model
2013
In this article numerical model for prediction of phase evolution of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was presented. In particular, attention was focused on alpha to beta and beta to alpha+beta phase transformations. The analysis was conducted using a commercial implicit finite element method code, considering the data and the parameters of a real case study to check the quality of the numerical model. The alpha to beta transformation was developed using the simplified form of the Avrami model and the beta to alpha+beta transformation was controlled through the generalized Avrami model. The model so-thought has been used to conduct a 2D simulation of a forging process. A comparison between the num…
Longitudinal phase evolution of Peregrine-like breathers
2018
International audience; We report the first experimental study of the longitudinal evolution of breather pulses during nonlinear fiber propagation. Gerchberg-Saxton phase retrieval reveals a large phase shift across the point of maximum compression.
Phase evolution of Peregrine-like solitons in nonlinear fiber optics
2019
Optical fiber systems are well-known to provide convenient platforms in which one may investigate a large variety of fascinating fundamental nonlinear coherent structures such as solitons or self-similar patterns. Interestingly, one of the major conclusions of the studies dealing with extreme-value fluctuations is that the temporal and spectral characteristics of localization processes can be well described in terms of solitons over finite background and in particular in terms of Peregrine soliton (PS) [1]. Whereas the longitudinal evolution of the temporal and spectral intensity of the PS have been characterized in detail [2], much less attention has been experimentally devoted to the evol…
Using high-resolution stratigraphy and structural analysis to constrain a “polyphase” tectonics in wedge-top basins. Inferences from the Late Tortoni…
2012
Abstract The present paper aims to show, both from a stratigraphic and structural points of view, the main features of a wedge-top syntectonic basin which evolved recording polyphase and non-coaxial tectonics. The study area is the Scillato Basin ( SB ), a roughly N–S-oriented structural depression located in the central-northern sector of the Sicililian Maghrebides. There, an approximately 1300 m-thick upper Serravallian to upper Tortonian succession of clastic units outcrops as a portion of the Neogene syntectonic covers of the Sicilian fold and thrust belt. Within the outcropping succession the upper Tortonian Terravecchia Fm represents the main topic of this paper. A multidisciplinary a…
