Abstract

A series of selected rare earth ions substituted bismuth silicates of the chemical formula Bi4-xREx(SiO4)3 (RE = La, Ce and Eu: X = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) was synthesized by the solution method. Rietveld refinement study revealed that the compounds Bi4(SiO4)3, Bi3.9La0.1(SiO4)3, Bi3.8La0.2(SiO4)3, Bi3.7La0.3(SiO4)3, Bi3.9Ce0.1(SiO4)3 and Bi3.9Eu0.1(SiO4)3 were crystallized in cubic structure with I-43d space group. Scanning electron microscopic images indicated that the larger and rod shaped particles were transformed into smaller and agglomerated ones when the rare earth ions were substituted for Bi ion in the octahedral site. UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra displayed a shift in absorption edge upon rare earth ion substitution due to the overlapping of s-p transition band with Ln3+-O2- charge transfer band. Bulk thermal expansion of the pure phases was tested using push rod dilatometer. The average coefficients of thermal expansion for Bi4(SiO4)3, Bi3.9La0.1(SiO4)3, Bi3.9Ce0.1(SiO4)3 and Bi3.9Eu0.1(SiO4)3 were found to be 5.19 x 10-6/C, 5.59 x 10- 6/C, 7.10 x 10-6/C and 7.94 x 10-6/C, respectively. The effect of rare earth ionic substitution in thermal expansion behavior was investigated.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
