Photocatalytic Properties of Columnar Nanostructured TiO2 Films Fabricated by Sputtering Ti and Subsequent Annealing by Zhengcao Li, Liping Xing, Zhengjun Zhang

“…The longer the annealing time was, the better the phase transition accomplished from Ti to TiO2 (a mixture of rutile and anatase), and the better it crystallized. In addition, those TiO2 films performed photocatalytic decolorization effectively and showed a law changing over annealing time under UV light irradiation towards methyl orange, which demonstrated the potential applications for treatment of effluent.…”

Characterization of Contact-Type Defects in Mortar Using a Nonlinear Ultrasonic Method by Zhichao Nie, Kui Wang, Mingjie Zhao, Xiao Sun

“…The traditional nonlinear parameter β used to evaluate the micro damage in material is derived from the classical stress-strain relation, which is more suitable for the anharmonicity of crystal rather than the contact-type defects. Recently, the theoretical model based on the bilinear stiffness law was derived, and the validity and applicability need to be further studied. …”
