In the present paper,MoSi2(Cr5Si3)–RSiC composites were prepared via a combination of precursor impregnation pyrolysis(PIP) and MoSi2-Si-Cr alloy active melt infiltration(AAMI) process. Composition, microstructure, mechanical retention characteristics, and oxidation behaviors of the composites at elevated temperature were studied. X-ray diffraction(XRD) pattern confirms that the composites mainly compose of 6 H–SiC, hexagonal MoSi2, and tetragonal Cr5Si3. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) image reveals that nearly denseMoSi2(Cr5Si3)–RSiC composites exhibiting three-dimensionally(3D) interpenetrated network structure are obtained when infiltrated at 2173 K, and the interface combination of the composites mainly depends on the composition ratio of infiltrated phases. Oxidation weight gain rate of the composites is much lower than that of RSiC matrix, where MoSiCr2 possesses the lowest value of 0.1630 mg×cm-2, about 78% lower than that of RSiC after oxidation at 1773 K for 100 h. Also, it possesses the highest mechanical values of 139.54 MPa(flexural strength σf and RT) and 276.77 GPa(elastic modulus Ef and RT), improvement of 73.73% and 29.77% as compared with that of RSiC, respectively. Mechanical properties of the composites increase first and then decrease with the extension of oxidation time at 1773 K, due to the cooperation effect of surface defect reduction via oxidation reaction and thermal stress relaxation in the composites, crystal growth, and thickness increase of the oxide film. Fracture toughness of MoSiCr2 reaches 2.24 MPa·m1/2(1673 K), showing the highest improvement of 31.70% as compared to the RT value.

By applying nonequilibrium Green's functions in combination with the density-functional theory, we investigate the electronic, thermal, and thermoelectric properties of four kinds of bases in DNA perpendicularly coupling between two ZGNR electrodes. The results show that the electron transport is highly sensitive to different base-ZGNR coupling geometries, and the system can present large rectifying and negative differential resistance effects. Moreover, the fluctuations of electronic transmission and super-low thermal conductance result in significant enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT): the ZT will be over 1.4 at room temperature, and over 1.6 at 200 K. The results show that the base-ZGNR coupling devices can present large rectifying, negative differential resistance, and enhanced thermoelectric effects.

The controllable growth of large area band gap engineered-semiconductor nanowires(NWs) with precise orientation and position is of immense significance in the development of integrated optoelectronic devices. In this study, we have achieved large area in-plane-aligned CdS_xSe_(1-x) nanowires via chemical vapor deposition method. The orientation and position of the alloyed CdS_xSe_(1-x)NWs could be controlled well by the graphoepitaxial effect and the patterns of Au catalyst. Microstructure characterizations of these as-grown samples reveal that the aligned CdS_xSe_(1-x)NWs possess smooth surface and uniform diameter. The aligned CdS_xSe_(1-x)NWs have strong photoluminescence and high-quality optical waveguide emission covering almost the entire visible wavelength range. Furthermore, photodetectors were constructed based on individual alloyed CdS_xSe_(1-x)NWs. These devices exhibit high performance and fast response speed with photoresponsivity ~670 A W^(-1) and photoresponse time ~76 ms. Present work provides a straightforward way to realize in-plane aligned bandgap engineering in semiconductor NWs for the development of large area NW arrays,which exhibit promising applications in future optoelectronic integrated circuits.
