Excitation spectroscopy, PL spectroscopy, and PL lifetime were used to study the optical properties of Dy3+ ions in Cd1-xDyxS QDs. The energy transfer processes and mechanisms between CdS host and Dy3+ ions, as well as between Dy3+ ions, were investigated and explained. The Cd1-xDyxS QDs showed potential for lighting applications due to their ability to emit white light with suitable Dy concentration.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
