Article Abstract

The influences of processing parameters such as volumetric energy density (ε) and, particularly, defocusing amount (DA) on densification, microstructure, tensile property, and hardness of the as-printed dense AlSi10Mg alloy by selective laser melting (SLM) were studied systematically. The molten pool boundaries (MPBs) were found overwhelmingly at regular and complex spatial topological structures affected by DA value to exist in two forms, while the "layer⁻layer" MPB overlay mutually and the "track⁻track" MPBs intersect to form acute angles with each other. The microstructure of MPBs exhibits a coarse grain zone near the MPBs and the characteristics of segregation of nonmetallic elements (O, Si) where the crack easily happened. The DA value (-2 to 2 mm) affected both the density and the tensile mechanical properties. High tensile strength (456 ± 14 MPa) and good tensile ductility (9.5 ± 1.4%) were achieved in the as-printed condition corresponding to DA = 0.5 mm. The tensile fracture surface features were analyzed and correlated to the influence of the DA values.

The fabrication and spectroscopic characterization of a self-assembled composite comprising the electron-donating 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-triethylammoniophenyl)porphyrin tetra(p-toluenesulfonate) (TTMAPP) and the electron-accepting graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet has been examined in an aqueous medium using different spectroscopic techniques. The fluorescence lifetime measurements demonstrated a notable reduction in the singlet excited state lifetimes of TTMAPP when combined with GO. Based on these measurements, the rate constant and efficiency of the electron transfer from TTMAPP to GO in an aqueous medium were quantified to be 3.

Significance: Alcohol consumption monitoring is essential for forensic and healthcare applications. While breath and blood alcohol concentration sensors are currently the most common methods, there is a growing need for faster, non-invasive, and more efficient assessment techniques. The rationale for our binary classification relates to law enforcement applications in countries with strict limits on alcohol consumption such as China, which seeks to prevent driving with even the smallest amount of alcohol in the bloodstream.

An implementation of volumetric beamforming for row-column addressed arrays (RCAs) is proposed, with optimizations for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). It is hypothesized that entire volumes can imaged in real time by a consumer-class GPU at an emission rate ≥12 kHz. A separable beamforming algorithm was used to reduce the number of calculations with a negligible impact on the image quality.

The design and synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention for expanding the range of practical applications. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOFs)-derived NiCoS attached to MXene is rationally designed and constructed for an optical limiter and supercapacitor. The MOF-derived NiCoS enhances the tendency of hydroxyl groups on the MXene surface to attract metal ions, resulting in the formation of sulfur vacancies.

Computer simulation was utilized to characterize the electrophoretic processes occurring during the enantioselective capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) analysis of ketamine, norketamine, and hydroxynorketamine in a system with partial filling of the capillary with 19 mM (equals 5%) of highly sulfated γ-cyclodextrin (HS-γ-CD) and analyte detection on the cathodic side. Provided that the sample is applied without or with a small amount of the chiral selector, analytes become quickly focused and separated in the thereby formed HS-γ-CD gradient at the cathodic end of the sample compartment. This gradient broadens with time, remains stationary, and gradually reduces its span from the lower side due to diffusion such that analytes with high affinity to the anionic selector become released onto the other side of the focusing gradient where anionic migration and defocusing occur concomitantly.
