The new generation of high power fiber lasers presents several benefits for industrial purposes, namely high power with low beam divergence, flexible beam delivery, low maintenance costs, high efficiency and small implantation space. This paper presents preliminary results of weld beads produced on thick X100 pipeline carbon-steel plates with an 8 kW fiber laser. Weld bead geometry was evaluated and transition between conduction and deep penetration welding modes was investigated.
Recently,
unprecedented interest has been immersed toward the synthesis
of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides via the chemical
vapor deposition (CVD) system. Synthesis of a uniform and large-sized
monolayer MoS2 atomic thin film via CVD is still a major
bottleneck owing to strong dependence on diverse associated growth
parameters. In this work, we have proposed the most viable recipe
which is suitable for controlling the nucleation density of Mo and
producing a 90 μm-long MoS2 monolayer crystal and
(695 × 394.8) μm2 large MoS2 monolayered
film on SiO2/Si and c-plane sapphire,
respectively. Moreover, MoS2 monolayer sensing performance
has been thoroughly investigated for NO2 exposure at room
temperature with a varying response of 4–57.5 for the 100–100
ppm level. Furthermore, the MoS2 monolayer sensor exhibits
an ultrasensitive NO2 detection with limit of detection
and limit of qualification values of 1.4 and 4.6 ppb, respectively.
In addition, the first-principles-based density functional theory
has been employed to analyze the adsorption of NO2 on the
surfaces of the 2D MoS2 monolayer. It is observed that
the electronic band gap of the MoS2 monolayer after NO2 adsorption is reduced by 0.7 eV due to molecular orbital
hybridization.
