Aluminum single crystal with 99.999% purity was deformed at room temperature by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) up to 16 passes. Grain size and misorientation of processed samples were quantitatively characterized by TEM and EBSD. The results show that the refinement efficiency of high purity aluminum single crystal was poor in the initial stage. Extrusion by fewer ECAP passes ( ≤ 8) resulted in only elongated grains containing a large number of subgrains and small misorientations between grains. Stable microstructures of nearly equiaxed grains with high misorientations were obtained by 15 passages, indicating that the initial extremely coarse grains and highly uniform grain orientation are not conducive to the accumulation of strain energy. The initial state of high purity aluminum has a significant effect on the refining efficiency of the ECAP process.

Enantioselectivity is a key advantage of enzymatic catalysis. Understanding the most important factors influencing enantioselectivity necessitates thorough investigation for each specific enzyme. In this study, we explore various approaches to optimize reaction conditions for organosilicon production using an immobilized Cytochrome C recently tailored via directed evolution.

This study explores the synthesis of ZSM-5 zeolite using high-purity mesoporous silica exclusively derived from coal fly ash (CFA), eliminating the need for additional silica or alumina sources. Traditional ZSM-5 synthesis relies on costly and environmentally harmful pure chemicals, whereas this approach utilizes CFA, an industrial byproduct, addressing both cost and sustainability concerns. The synthesized ZSM-5 zeolite demonstrates exceptional purity, with a surface area of 455.

The tuning range covers from 1029 nm to 1098 nm through the intracavity nonlinear polarization evolution (NPE) filter effect. The switchable CVBs between radially and azimuthally polarized beams with mode purity above 90% are generated by incorporating a broadband few-mode long-period fiber grating (LPFG).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe detail here the general principle of a self-adaptive oscillator in which the intertwined operation of a 100-m-long active optical resonator and a standard semiconductor laser mutually coupled by stimulated Brillouin scattering offers an ultimate high spectral purity. Single frequency operation of this self-adaptive photonic oscillator is achieved without any servo locking or stabilization electronics. In free running operation, this principle leads to a Lorentzian linewidth of 40 mHz and a Flicker noise linewidth of 200 Hz for 0.
