The ITO films were deposited at room temperature by DC magnetron sputtering of a lab-made ITO target on organic glass substrates. The photoelectric property of the ITO film was evaluated by changing the process parameters of sputtering power, sputtering pressure, target distance and oxygen-argon flow ratio. The ITO films were characterized with ultraviolet visible near infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the transmittance of ITO films decreases with the increase of sputtering power and target-substrate distance. When the sputtering power is 110W and the target-substrate distance is 70mm, the transmittance and conductivity of ITO films are better. In the near-ultraviolet light band and the near infrared light band, the transmittance of the ITO film decreases as the sputtering pressure increases. When the oxygen-argon flow ratio is 4:30, the ITO film shows the best transmittance and comprehensive performance in the visible light range from 500nm to 600nm.

When using tungsten crucible and electron beam evaporation equipment to evaporate silver thin film, silver is infiltrated with tungsten crucible in the molten state,and the liquid level of molten metal in the crucible is concave. Such concave evaporation sources often lead to poor uniformity of the as-deposited films. According to the principle that the microstructure of the object surface will change the contact angle between liquid and solid, a groove array is fabricated on the smooth inner wall of tungsten crucible by chemical corrosion. By changing the contact angle between the molten metal material and the inner wall of the tungsten crucible, the wettability of liquid silver and the wall of tungsten crucible can be adjusted. The results show that when the groove width is about 1mm,the depth is about 0.5mm and the period is about 2mm, the inner wall of the molten silver and tungsten crucible becomes no longer infiltrated. 100nm-thick silver film is evaporated with unmodified and modified tungsten crucible, respectively, and it is found that the uniformity of the evaporated film can be improved effectively by using the modified tungsten crucible.

The porous metal materials are a new type of metal materials with excellent properties. This review briefly describes the preparation methods and applicability of several commonly used porous metal materials.Then the application of porous tungsten materials in the fields of microwave vacuum devices and space electric propulsion technology is introduced, and the existing problems in the preparation of porous tungsten materials are pointed out. In response to these problems, the preparation process of porous tungsten materials and parts is studied in depth. The tungsten powder is classified by the classification technology. The results of the laser particle size tester show that the size of classified tungsten powder particles is more concentrated. The gas purification and detection system can remove residual oxygen and water in the hydrogen gas, and reduce the dew point of hydrogen from -50℃ to below -90℃, which provides a good sintering atmosphere for preparing the non-oxidized tungsten sponge matrix. Porous tungsten materials are prepared by cold isostatic pressing technology and high temperature sintering, and the porosity of porous tungsten materials is studied by mercury porosimeter. The pore size distribution becomes narrower and the pore size becomes more uniform. The porous tungsten-copper alloy materials are prepared by vacuum impregnation. The impregnation rate is much higher than that of copper impregnation under the hydrogen condition, and the impregnation rate is increased by more than 4%. The tungsten copper alloy substrate is heated by a high frequency heating coil crucible localized firing. The results show that this technology has the advantages of no residual on substrate surface, short time, no pollution to furnaces and environmental. The porous tungsten have been successfully used in the microwave vacuum electron devices.

Most studies on ferroelectric thin films are focused on perovskite structural materials. However, these traditional ferroelectric materials have a variety of problems, such as poor compatibility with Si, environmental pollution caused by Pb, large physical thickness, low resistance, and small band gap. Different dopants such as Si, Zr, Al, Y, Gd, Sr and La can induce ferroelectric or antiferroelectric properties in HfO2 films, resulting in residual polari stion up to 45 µC·cm-2 and coercivity (1~2 MV·cm-1) approximately one order of magnitude greater than that of conventional ferroelectric films. At the same time, the thickness of HfO2 films can be very thin (below 10 nm) and the band gap is large (~ 5 eV). These advantages over traditional ferroelectric materials can overcome the obstacles of traditional ferroelectric materials including ferroelectric field effect transistors and 3D capacitors in thin film memory applications. In addition, the electrical and thermal coupling of antiferroelectric films holds promise for a variety of applications, such as energy harvesting/storage, solid state cooling, and infrared sensors. HfO2 doped thin films can be deposited by different deposition techniques, such as ALD, sputtering and CSD, and ALD has more obvious advantages in film deposition. In this paper, the recent progress of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric properties in HfO2 doped thin films is reviewed. The effects of different doping elements, film thickness, grain size, electrode, annealing, and stress on the ferroelectric properties of HfO2 thin films are described in detail.

Low-carbon development of metallurgical industry with high energy consumption and high carbon emission has become the consensus of the international community and industry under the background of carbon emission peak and carbon neutrality. As one of metallurgical industries with the largest carbon emission per unit product, carbon emission reduction of magnesium production is imperative. Developing new low-carbon magnesium production technology is the way forward. This paper analyzes the shortcomings of the Pidgeon process and introduces the principle and advantages of the new aluminothermic reduction methods of magnesium production. The results show that the Pidgeon process has the disadvantages of large raw material consumption, high energy consumption and large carbon emission. Limited by the reduction principle of magnesium production, it is difficult to further reduce the energy consumption and carbon emission. Compared with the Pidgeon process, the aluminothermic reduction process has the advantages of less raw material consumption, high production efficiency, low energy consumption and zero discharge of waste residue, and the carbon emission of which can be reduced by 30%-50%. The aluminothermic reduction process with a lowcarbon emission and pollution-free green magnesium production process has a good application prospect under the background of carbon emission peak and carbon neutrality.

To solve this problem and simplify the composition of the section profile, this paper uses a sinusoidal helix to smoothly connect the tooth tip arc and the tooth root arc, and then proposes a new type of fully meshed sinusoidal helical screw rotor. The meshing model of the sinusoidal helix and its conjugate curve are proposed, and the equation of the section profile is deduced. The influence of the radius ratios and helical central angle of the new section profile on the performance of the twin-screw vacuum pump is analyzed, and their reasonable value range is given. The results show that the section profile of the as-proposed new full meshing screw rotor is completely smooth, and the spatial contact line is continuous, which is beneficial to improve the performance of the twin-screw vacuum pump.

In order to study the effect of matrix surface microstructure on the adhesion between coating and matrix, the adhesion between coating and matrix was tested. The hardness of the coating was measured. The interfacial microstructure between coating and matrix,and the matrix surface microstructure were observed. The relationship between adhesion and surface morphology was analyzed. The results show that after water blasting and dry blasting, V-grooves are formed on the matrix surface, which are expressed as type θ1 and type θ2 respectively(θ1<θ2, θ is the ratio of groove opening width to groove depth). The matrix surface microstructure can significantly affect the adhesion between coating and matrix. But the phase, density and residual stress of coating are not influenced. According to the nucleation mechanism, the atoms will nucleate and grow at the upper edge of θ1 “V” groove. A large number of atoms are blocked, resulting in hollow bottom of “V” groove. In θ2 “V” groove, a large number of atoms enter the groove. With the diffusion of atoms, the almost completely filled“V” groove is formed. As a result,the bonding area of coating and matrix increases, and the adhesion of coating and matrix improves.

The working principle and development status of vacuum arc remelting furnace and vacuum arc skull casting furnace are described. This paper introduces the development of vacuum arc remelting(VAR) technology control technology, and points out the important significance of arc detection and regulation for the safe operation of large vacuum arc skull furnace. Although the melt rate control realizes the stability of the profile of the melt pool mushy. However, the arc motion changes the heat distribution of the pool. The optimization of arc distribution state based on melt rate control is the development direction of high quality ingots and process equipment. According to the arc motion characteristics, the arc distribution model is divided into four categories: concentrated, diffusive, eccentric and rotating. The distribution model of diffusive arc plays an obvious role in improving the profile of melt pool and the quality of ingots. VAR control technology is divided into three components: arc distribution, melt pool characteristics and solidification process. Aiming at the electromagnetic characteristics of arc, magnetic field is used to detect and regulate the arc distribution, which will bring new technological innovation to VAR process. The control system with Hall effect magnetic field sensor array and Helmholtz coils has been applied in industrial VAR furnace to verify the effectiveness of the control system in arc detection and regulation.

The preparation method of protective and passive film for Cu electrode of enhanced power device is introduced. Al2O3 films are deposited on copper by thermal ALD and plasma enhanced ALD techniques. The effects of different ALD techniques, oxidant type, deposition temperature and carrier gas on the quality of Al2O3 films and the protection performance for Cu oxidization are studied. The results show that oxidants play an important role in Al2O3 film quality and the protection performance for copper electrode. When ozone(O3) is used as oxidant, Al2O3 film deposited on copper layer is easy to fall off, and the adhesion to copper surface is very poor. Using oxygen plasma (O-) as oxidant, copper surface is oxidized to form CuOx layer. With H2O as oxidant, the Al2O3 film obtained at low temperature of 100℃ is dense without obvious defects, and has excellent bonding force with copper layer. When the deposition temperature is higher than 200℃, the defects of Al2O3 deposited by ALD increase obviously. In plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition, when the carrier gas is Ar, the thickness of Al2O3 film is not uniform, and the copper electrode is strongly oxidized.

In the China spallation neutron source(CSNS) large scientific platform, 1.6GeV high-energy protons produced by a high-energy proton accelerator are used to bombard a solid tungsten target. The back neutron beam generated in front of the target returns through the proton channel to the neutron experiment area is called the back neutron source(Back-n). It has the characteristics of wide energy spectrum(0-200MeV)and large neutron yield(2×1016n/s), which is suitable for nuclear data measurement and other high-energy physics research. The Back-n vacuum system consists of a 26m ultra-high vacuum system shared with the high-energy proton beam and a 54m high vacuum system dedicated to the passage of the neutron beam. The two vacuum systems adopt different vacuum acquisition schemes and process routes,and are separated by a neutron beam window. An ultra-high vacuum gate valve is installed on the ultra-high vacuum side to prevent the damage of the neutron beam window from affecting the operation of the accelerator. This article introduces the design and operation of the Back-n vacuum system. The establishment of the vacuum system provides high-quality vacuum conditions for the experimental research of the Back-n.

To address the problems of low deposition rate and uneven film thickness in the preparation of SiC films by pulsed laser method and sublimation method, this paper adopts the vacuum DC magnetron sputtering technique to deposit SiC films on the surface of flat glass substrate using a SiC target with high carbon content. The effects of different parameters on the deposition rate and film thickness uniformity were investigated by varying the DC power and sputtering pressure. The thickness, cross-sectional morphology and Si, C content of the films were characterized by step meter, scanning electron microscope(SEM)and energy spectrometer(EDS) respectively to obtain the optimal process parameters. The experimental results show that the film deposition rate reached 15.39nm·min-1 when the sputtering power was 2000W under the same sputtering air pressure condition.The variation coefficient of thickness uniformity of the deposited films was within 3% while the film deposition rate reached 10.67nm·min-1 when the sputtering air pressure was 0.8Pa under the same DC power condition.

Through-silicon-via is currently a very popular high-density packaging technology, but the metallization of deep silicon holes in silicon through-hole technology is a very difficult process issue, because conventional magnetron sputtering techniques are difficult to deposit seed layers such as copper and tungsten in high aspect ratio silicon holes. Through simulation and calculation of the relationship between the two-dimensional non centered collision angles of copper atoms during oblique sputtering, it was found that when there is energy loss in atomic collisions, the angle of copper atoms incident into the silicon hole changes, which helps to deposit at the depth of the silicon hole. In this paper, copper seed layers were deposited in silicon blind holes with different aspect ratios by using negative bias assisted confocal sputtering of multiple copper targets to verify the feasibility of this method, and the deposition of copper seed layers in silicon pores with a depth to width ratio of 8:1 was successfully achieved by three target co sputtering.

The intermediate refractive index material required for preparing gradient refractive index films is obtained by adopting the method of dual-source co-evaporation of MgF2 and ZnS and controlling the deposition rate ratio of both materials. The G|HL|A double-layer anti-reflection film is graded into 5 layers, and keeping the total optical thickness unchanged, the gradient index anti-reflection film with a gradient of 1.91,1.77, 1.64, 1.48, and 1.38(wavelength of 532nm) along the thickness direction is prepared. All samples are tested for optical and laser damage characteristics. The results show that the refractive index of the composite film obtained by double source co-evaporation of MgF2 and ZnS and the deposition rate ratio of the two materials satisfy the relationship deduced according to Drude theory. The refractive index of the composite film accords with the normal dispersion. Except for the material with the refractive index of 1.91, of which the absorption is large(extinction coefficient at 532nm is 0.01), the other composites show small absorption(extinction coefficients at 532nm are less than 0.002). When all the monolayer films are irradiated with 100mJ energy laser, the composite film with the refractive index of 1.64 has the lowest laser damage, showing higher resistance to laser damage than single-component ZnS and MgF2 films. When the double-layer anti-reflection film is equivalent to five layers with graded refractive index, the passband range is extended from 205nm to 380nm, and the laser damage threshold is increased from 2.0J/cm2 to 3.7J/cm2, which is increased by 85%. It can be seen that it is feasible to prepare thin films with graded refractive index by adjusting the evaporation rate ratio of the two materials. As long as the ratio of the two materials is appropriate, using co-evaporation technology can obtain a composite film that has higher resistance to laser damage than a single-component film. The graded index anti-reflection film has better optical properties and higher laser damage threshold than double-layer anti-reflection film.

In order to improve the service performance of titanium alloy, multilayer films with different RCr-CrN:RCr-CrAlN modulation ratio were prepared on TC4 titanium alloy by vacuum cathodic arc ion plating. Scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness tester, scratch tester, stress tester and sand erosion tester were used to detect and analyze the cross-section morphology, structure, thickness, hardness, adhesion, residual stress and sand erosion resistance of the multilayer films. The results show that the thickness of multilayer films is 7-8μm, the transition layer is about 1.5 μm, and the thickness of single cycle is 150-200nm. All the multilayer films exhibit (200) preferred growth face centered cubic structure. With the increase of the proportion of Cr-CrAlN layer, the hardness, residual stress and adhesion of the film increase accordingly. The sand erosion resistance of multilayer films with different modulation ratios at 90° angle of attack is more than 3 times that of TC4 substrate before they are completely damaged, and at 30° angle of attack, the sand erosion resistance of multilayer films is about 8 times that of TC4 substrate. When the modulation ratio of RCr-CrN:RCr-CrAlN is 1∶2, the multilayer films have the best comprehensive properties.

The cylindrical specimens of a single crystal superalloy with diameter of 15mm and 30mm were prepared using the same melting process and directional solidification process. The stress rupture properties at 980℃/250MPa and high cycle fatigue properties at 800℃ of the alloy with two casting dimensions were tested. Dendrite microstructure, the as-cast γ′ phase, heat treated γ′ phase, micropore, stress rupture and high cycle fatigue fractograph and fracture microstructure of the alloy with different casting dimension were examined by OM, SEM and TEM. The results show that with the increase of casting dimension, the primary dendrite arm spacing, the size of as-cast and heat treated γ′ phase, and the size and volume fraction of micropore increase. The stress rupture properties of the alloy decrease, the fracture mechanism has no obvious change and is dimple model with casting dimension increasing. The quantity and size of micro-crack and the γ′ raft thickness on the stress fracture microstructure increase with the casting dimension increasing, while high cycle fatigue properties of the alloy decrease.

The beam power of the CSNS II accelerator will be upgraded from 100kW to 500kW, which requires the average beam power of the linear accelerator to be increased from the current 5kW to 25kW, and the pulse beam intensity to be increased from 12.5mA to more than 40mA. For this reason, the Penning type surface negative hydrogen ion source currently in use will be replaced by a radio frequency(RF) negative hydrogen ion source. Considering that the beam cutting ratio of the beam chopper ranges from 35% to 50%, and the LEBT transmission rate can reach 75% to 95%, the RF negative hydrogen ion source needs to produce a negative hydrogen ion beam of at least 50mA. Therefore, the hydrogen gas consumption of the ion source needs to be increased from the current 10sccm to more than 20sccm,and the pressure of LEBT second chamber is required to be ≤5.0×10-3Pa. Based on this, the ion source and the LEBT vacuum system are modified in this paper,and the beam transmission rate of LEBT is improved. In addition, the pumping speed of hydrogen with two domestic and imported magnetic levitation molecular pumps is compared,which provides a certain reference for the selection of molecular pumps and localized substitution.

The insulation of medium frequency magnetron sputtered silicon oxide films were surveyed by resistance measurement with megohm meter. The films were characterized by XRD and FTIR. The results show that the film is amorphous SiOx. Instantaneous resistance(Ri) when the probe on the megohm meter attaches the SiOx film is related to the absorbing peaks near wavenumber 900cm-1(peak a) and 760cm-1(peak b) on FTIR spectrum. As Ri rises, peak b shows red shift and the peak height ratio of peaks a and b rises. It can be concluded that Ri rises with content of oxygen in SiOx film. The abnormal products with lower Ri can be recovered to normal range by 250℃ heating treatment. The insulation decrease of SiOx films in production process may be caused by abnormal change of oxygen concentration in the chamber.

Transition layer is a key factor to improve the film/substrate relationship and increase the quality of the film. In this paper, the epitaxially grown process of Cr, which is a common transition layer material, was simulated using molecular dynamics method. Surface topography, roughness, radial distribution function and adhesion strength was analyzed to study the effect of incident energy on the film quality. The results show that at the initial stage of deposition, the film/substrate interfacial interaction was the main factor affecting the growth mode of the film. As the incident energy increased, the growth mode changed from Frank-Vander Merve to Volmer-Weber. As the deposition process progressed, the film surface roughness gradually raised during low-energy deposition(15-50eV). However, the opposite trend exhibited during high-energy deposition(75eV) because of the etching effect, and the surface roughness decreased gradually. Meanwhile, the film/substrate interface was destroyed by the shallow injection in the lower energy range, which weakened the film/substrate adhesive strength. Further improving the deposition could improve the film/substrate adhesive effect by forming a composition gradient layer. The research results in this paper shows important guiding significance for the thin film deposition process: increasing the incident energy during the deposition process does not meaning a positive effect, and it must be controlled in a suitable energy range.

It is found that in order to obtain a larger visible light transmittance difference(bleach state minus color state), the key point is to improve the transmittance of electrochromic glass. However, compared with the electrochromic glass with higher cost, it is more realistic to improve the transmittance of Low-E glass.In order to give full play to the energy-saving characteristics of electrochromic glass, the electrochromic glass was placed on the outdoor side and indoor side of insulating glass respectively for testing. The results show that when the electrochromic glass is located on the outdoor side, the change of shielding coefficient is the largest(0.46), which is more suitable for a variety of scenarios. At the same time, the better performance of electrochromic glass film is required.
