Because the reconstruction of catalysts is generally observed during oxidation reactions, understanding intrinsic structure-related ability electrocatalysts highly desirable but challenging. Herein, a controllable hydrolysis strategy developed to obtain nickel hydroxide with vacancy (VNi) concentrations, as confirmed by advanced spectroscopic characterization. Electrochemical measurements show that can be promoted increase VNi concentration generate true active components, thereby boosting...
Using the newly developed positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) facility with a high count rate up to 3000 cps, in situ PALS experiments were performed for first time on continuous stretching process of polymers quantitatively analyze minute-scale evolution free-volume holes. According stress–strain relationship and results four types polyethylenes different crystallinities, tensile could be divided into distinct stages: elastic, initial nonlinear (until yield point), postyield,...
The quantum effect of light nuclei in materials is usually considered as lattice vibration and zero-point motion from an ab initio perspective. Here we start full-quantized particles take the muon example, considering two-body quantized system electrons within two-component density functional theory, which can calculate related wave functions directly automatically taking into account muon. We first simulate correlation energy pair-correlation function by Monte Carlo, then construct a...
A muon facility—EMuS (Experimental Muon Source)—at China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) has been studied since 2007. CSNS, which is designed to deliver a proton beam power of 100 kW at Phase-I, and will serve multidisciplinary research based on neutron scattering techniques, just completed construction, ready open general users from September 2018. As an additional platform EMuS aims provide different beams for multiple applications, among which, magnetism study by μSR techniques core...
Abstract A Muon station for sciEnce, technoLOgy and inDustrY (MELODY) has been listed in the China Spallation Neutron Source upgrade plan, infrastructure construction is scheduled to start by end of 2022. The 1.6 GeV double-pulsed proton bunch will be extracted from Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) ring a stand-alone target station. One surface muon one decay beamline are designed provide multi-terminals applications. In this report, we describe design MELODY prospect future
Abstract Positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) spectroscopy is a unique method for characterizing atomic-scale defects and ultramicropores in materials. The conventional PAL spectrometer adopts the γ - coincidence principle, its performance, especially counting rate (CCR), can hardly be further increased. Another β + coincidence, has potential to simultaneously improve CCR time resolution (CTR) of spectrometers. However, early spectrometers have not been widely applied due considerable room...
For the proper interpretation of experimental data produced in slow positron beam technique, implantation properties are studied carefully using latest Geant4 code. The simulated backscattering coefficients, profiles, and median depths for mono-energetic positrons with energy range from 1 keV to 50 normally incident on different crystals reported. Compared previous results, our simulation coefficients reasonable agreement, we think that accuracy may be related structures host materials Based...
