Studies were made of the effect of mechanical pulverization on relaxation,crystallization and brittle-ductile transition of the anneal-embrittled Fe_(75)Si_(10)B_(15) metallic glass rib- bon.Results show that the Curie temperature,T_C,decreases and the total enthalpy of relaxation increases gradually with variation of pulverized time.DSC traces reveal an extra exothermic peak,T_X_1,and a distinct glass transition endothermic peak,T_g_1,with increasing pulverized time,T_C,T_X_1,and T_g_1 decrease simultaneously,and the exother- mic peak area corresponding to T_X_1 increases gradually.The surface slip-steps of flaky particles and their corresponding shear are produced by pulverizing the pre-embrittled amorphous glass.The lost ductility of the glass may restore during annealing.

A systematic investigation on the hydrogen storage properties of Li-Mg-N-H materials with various compositions was performed. Li-Mg-N-H hydrogen storage materials were prepared by mechanically milling LiNH2/MgH2 mixtures with initial molar ratios ranging from 1.5:1 to 3: 1, followed by de/rehydriding at 200 degrees C. It was found that the hydrogen storage capacity of the system was highly dependent on the initial phase ratio of the LiNH2/MgH2 mixture. An optimum hydrogen capacity of about 5 wt% was achieved in the 2.15:1 LiNH2/MgH2 mixture. Different carbon materials, such as the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes, graphite and activated carbon, were used as additive to improve the hydrogen storage performance. It was found that the dehydriding kinetics of the Li-Mg-N-H material could be markedly improved by adding a small amount of SWNTs, especially in the as-prepared state.

A first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential method based on the density functional theory is used to investigate the dehydrogenation properties and the influence mechanism of Li(4)BN(3)H(10) hydrogen storage materials. The binding energy, the density of states and the Mulliken overlap population are calculated. The results show that the binding energy of crystal has no direct correlation with the dehydrogenation ability of (LiM)(4)BN(3)H(10)(M = Ni, Ti, Al, Mg). The width of band gap and the energy level of impurity are key factors to affect the dehydrogenation properties of (LiM)(4)BN(3)H(10) hydrogen storage materials: the wider the energy gap is, the more strongly the electron is bound to the bond, the more difficulty the bond breaks, and the higher wile the dehydrogenation temperature be. Alloying introduces the impurity energy level in band gap, which leads the Fermi level to enter into the conduction band and the bond to be weakened, thereby resulting in the improvement of the dehydrogenation properties of Li(4)BN(3)H(10). It is found from the charge population analysis that the bond strengths of N-H and B-H are weakened by alloying, which improves the dehydrogenation properties of Li(4)BN(3)H(10).

Advanced Materials
Popularization of portable electronics and electric vehicles worldwide stimulates the development of energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors, toward higher power density and energy density, which significantly depends upon the advancement of new materials used in these devices. Moreover, energy storage materials play a key role in efficient, clean, and versatile use of energy, and are crucial for the exploitation of renewable energy. Therefore, energy storage materials cover a wide range of materials and have been receiving intensive attention from research and development to industrialization. In this Review, firstly a general introduction is given to several typical energy storage systems, including thermal, mechanical, electromagnetic, hydrogen, and electrochemical energy storage. Then the current status of high-performance hydrogen storage materials for on-board applications and electrochemical energy storage materials for lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors is introduced in detail. The strategies for developing these advanced energy storage materials, including nanostructuring nano-/microcombination, hybridization, pore-structure control, configuration design, surface modification, and composition optimization, are discussed. Finally, the future trends and prospects in the development of advanced energy storage materials are highlighted.

The abradability of porous seal materials has been evaluated using a single-pendulum scratch device. The results shows that the specific energy e (= E/V) and the tangential dynamic hardness H(T)(= F(T)/A(T)) for small incursion depth are obviously higher than those for greater incursion. The specific energy e and tangential dynamic hardness H(T) have been proposed as two equivalent criteria of abradability of seal materials. The abradability of porous seal materials is dependent on both mechanical properties of the materials and extent of densification. A careful balance between them is the key to a satisfactory seal material.

Though extensively studied, hardness, defined as the resistance of a material to deformation, still remains a challenging issue for a formal theoretical description due to its inherent mechanical complexity. The widely applied Teter's empirical correlation between hardness and shear modulus has been considered to be not always valid for a large variety of materials. The main reason is that shear modulus only responses to elastic deformation whereas the hardness links both elastic and permanent plastic properties. We found that the intrinsic correlation between hardness and elasticity of materials correctly predicts Vickers hardness for a wide variety of crystalline materials as well as bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). Our results suggest that, if a material is intrinsically brittle (such as BMGs that fail in the elastic regime), its Vickers hardness linearly correlates with the shear modulus (H(v) = 0.151G). This correlation also provides a robust theoretical evidence on the famous empirical correlation observed by Teter in 1998. On the other hand, our results demonstrate that the hardness of polycrystalline materials can be correlated with the product of the squared Pugh's modulus ratio and the shear modulus (H(v) = 2(k(2)G)(0.585) - 3 where k =G/B is Pugh's modulus ratio). Our work combines those aspects that were previously argued strongly, and, most importantly, is capable to correctly predict the hardness of all hard compounds known included in several pervious models.

Quantitative analysis of populations having a geometric structure,which has developed into a special scientific subject called microstructology or stereology,is of great importance to the characterization and evaluation of microstructures and their evolution in various processes.This paper, besides a brief discussion on those topics such as the recent developments of computer assisted image analysis,mathematical morphology,and fractal analysis,will mainly focus on the scope,fundamen- tals,present status,and perspectives of classical stereology.Several case examples of its application to materials science will also be given.

The industrial system should learn from the natural ecosystem. The resource utilization efficiency should be increased and the environmental load should be decreased, depending on the materials recycled in the system. The classification of industrial materials from the viewpoint of largescale recycling was stated. Recycling of materials, on three different levels, was introduced in the industrial system. The metal flow diagram in the life cycle of products, in the case of no materials recycled, materials partially recycled, and materials completely recycled, was given. The natural resource conservation and the waste emission reduction were analyzed under the condition of materials completely recycled. The expressions for the relation between resource efficiency and material recycling rate, and the relation between ecoefficiency and material recycling rate were derived, and the curves describing the relationship between them were protracted. The diagram of iron flow in the life cycle of iron and steel products in China, in 2001, was given, and the iron resource efficiency, material recycling rate, and iron ecoefficiency were analyzed. The variation of iron resource efficiency with the material recycling rate was analyzed for two different production ratios.
