The results reveal that with the addition of Hf and Dy, the Ni2AIHf Heusler phase and NisDy phase form along the NiAI/Cr（Mo） phase boundaries in intercellular region. By the injection casting method, some Ni2AIHf Heusler phase and NisDy phase transform into Hf and Dy solid solutions, respectively. Moreover, the microstructure of the alloy gets good optimization, which can be characterized by the fine interlamellar spacing, high proportion of eutectic cell area and homogeneously distributed fine Ni2AIHf, NisDy, Hf solid solution and Dy solid solutions. Compared with conventional-cast alloy, the room temperature mechanical properties of injection-cast alloy are improved obviously.展开更多

A spin polarization degree of 24.6% is obtained at 77 K after spin-polarized electrons traverse a distance of 300 nm before they recombine with holes bound at neutral carbon acceptors in a p ＋ -GaAs layer. The large volume of the p ＋ -GaAs layer can facilitate the detection of weak electric luminescence （EL） from e–A 0C emission without being quenched at higher bias as in quantum wells. Moreover, unlike the interband electric luminescence in the p＋ -GaAs layer, where the spin polarization of injected electrons is destroyed by a very effective electron–hole exchange scattering （BAP mechanism）, the spin polarization of injected electrons seems to survive during their recombination with holes bound at carbon acceptors.展开更多
