The invention relates to a method for preparing endogenetic particle reinforced metal matrix composites under the coupling effect of a magnetic field and supersonic waves. The method comprises: adjusting the temperature of a metal matrix fused mass to the reaction initial temperature after refining, adding a reactant which can generate a particle phase with the fused mass through the reaction in situ for implementing the synthesis reaction, standing the mixture after the reaction is over, and cooling the mixture to the pouring temperature for pouring; and the method is characterized in that: the magnetic field and the high-intensity ultrasonic field are simultaneously exerted in the reaction synthesis process to realize the synthesis of endogenetic particle reinforced metal matrix composites under the coupling effect of the magnetic field and the high-intensity ultrasonic field. The magnetic field can be an intense pulse magnetic field, a high frequency oscillation magnetic field or a low frequency alternating magnetic field. In the method, the coupling effect of the magnetic field and the ultrasonic field makes the particle sizes be thinned and dispersed evenly; the ultrasonic vibration agitation and electromagnetic stirring functions improve the composite dynamic condition, and the compounding of the particle phase and a base metal interface is better; and the co-action of magnetochemistry and sonochemistry improves the thermodynamic condition of the reaction in situ, as well as speeding up the reaction in situ and controlling the growth of the particle phase.

An acoustic crystal structure includes defect cavities that concentrate the driving pressure from applied sound waves into the cavities to cavitate gas bubbles in a liquid to produce sonoluminescence. This device may be used to study sonoluminescence or cavitation or to perform sonochemistry, nuclear fusion etc. in the cavities. A waveguide may be operatively coupled to the acoustic crystal to extract, collect and route a band of electromagnetic (EM) radiation around a specified source wavelength to an output port for emission by an antenna to provide an EM source. The waveguide may, for example, be a photonic crystal defect waveguide, a photonic crystal optical fiber or Sommerfeld waveguide. The marriage of the sonoluminescence phenomena with an acoustic crystal and embedded waveguide provides for an efficient source of narrow or broad band IR or THz radiation.

A method of making zinc sulfide based electroluminescent phosphors is described wherein a first-fired zinc sulfide material having a hexagonal β-ZnS crystal structure is at least partially converted to a distorted hexagonal β-ZnS crystal structure by ultrasonic irradiation. The first-fired material is then fired at a lower temperature to form an electroluminescent phosphor.

The invention utilizes single and multiple frequency ultrasound generators driving single and multiple frequency resonant and harmonic transducer arrays at frequencies into the megasonic range. Generator signals that increase cavitation efficiency improve the performance of the cleaning, microbiological inactivation, sonochemistry or processing systems.

The invention utilizes multiple frequency megasonic generators driving multiple frequency harmonic transducers. Generator signals that increase cavitation efficiency and that have successive time periods with predominantly stable cavitation and predominantly transient cavitation further improve the performance of the cleaning, microbiological inactivation, sonochemistry or processing systems. Probes that monitor the megasonics and feedback the information to the generator provide consistency of process.

The invention discloses a method for mechanochemical coupling ultrasonic chemical strengthening of metal leaching in secondary zinc oxide powder, comprising: mechanical activation: mechanically activating raw materials containing secondary zinc oxide powder to obtain an activation material; ultrasonic treatment: combining the activation material with the The acidic leaching solution is mixed to obtain a mixture, and the mixture is subjected to ultrasonic treatment, and the obtained liquid phase is the leachate. The combination of mechanochemical activation and sonochemistry enhanced the leaching rate and leaching rate of multi-metals through structural destruction and cavitation of secondary zinc oxide powder. This process can indirectly reduce the use concentration of acidic leaching solution and shorten the leaching time. In actual production, the specific application of this process can reduce the anti-corrosion cost and operating production cost of reaction equipment, and indirectly produce good production benefits.
