金属Al表面熔化各向异性的分子动力学模拟

采用嵌入原子势,使用分子动力学方法对金属Al不同低指数晶面的表面熔化现象分别进行了模拟.分析了熔化过程中样品结构组态的变化.模拟结果表明对于不同的自由表面,表面熔化呈现出明显的各向异性行为.Al（110）面在低于熔点的温度之下发生预熔化;（111）与（001）面都出现过热现象.与（111）面不同,（001）面发生过热现象时表面原子层为类液层,而（111）面仍然保持很好的晶格结构,即预熔化的Al（001）面在高于熔点的温度下,仍可以在很长的时间内处于相对稳定的亚稳态.由模拟得到Al的热力学熔点为950 K左右,与实验值基本符合. 关键词： 分子动力学 表面熔化 过热     

Al和O间隙原子对α-Al_2O_3热力学性质影响的第一性原理计算

Al粒子作为铝热剂中的主要金属还原剂,通常会自发氧化而在表面形成Al_2O_3钝化层.Al和O原子的扩散渗透将使Al_2O_3壳层的结构和热力学性质发生变化进而对铝热剂的点火过程产生影响.采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法,结合准简谐徳拜模型和晶格动力学理论,计算并比较了α-Al_2O_3,Al原子掺杂α-Al_2O_3以及O原子掺杂α-Al_2O_3在高温高压下的相关热力学性质,讨论了Al和O原子掺杂对其热力学性质的影响.结果表明:在研究的温度和压力范围内,Al和O间隙原子的掺杂将使α-Al_2O_3的体模量减小,热容和热膨胀系数增大.这一结果意味着对于外表面包覆Al_2O_3的纳米Al粒子而言,高温高压下Al和O原子在Al_2O_3壳层中的扩散将使得Al_2O_3更具延展性而不利于发生剧烈散裂.     

Nb-17at%Si合金的压力温度相图

我们知道,Nb3Si有三种同素异构体,其中L12相(Cu3Au型)是由粉末烧结得到的[1],A15相Nb3Si可能是一种高温超导体,但一般只能得到偏离化学配比的化合物[2,3],在常压下往往是Ti3P型结构[4]。 高压有利于形成高密度相.Ti3P结构Nb3Si的平均原子体积为 16.79埃3/原子,稍大于 A15相Nb3Si的平均原子体积(16.39埃3/原子),其晶格常数a大约为5.08埃[5].在高压下,Ti3P结构是转变为A15相还是发生其他何种转变?这是一个值得研究的课题. 实验表明,Nb-1 7 at% Si合金比较容易形成Ti3P型结构.而按照化合物成分配制Nb-2 5at% Si合金一般得不到 Ti3P…     

Re对Ni_3Al微观结构及力学性质影响的第一原理研究

应用基于密度泛函理论和广义梯度近似的第一原理方法,探究了Re元素掺杂镍铝合金中γ'相Ni_3Al之后微观结构和力学性质的变化.结果表明,在大部分化学计量比范围内,Re原子在Ni_3Al中易于替代Al位.Re的掺杂引起Ni_3Al晶格常数小幅度地增大,且不会引起严重的晶格畸变.通过差分电荷密度及态密度分析得到Re原子与近邻原子产生轨道相互作用,尤其是与Ni原子作用较强,并使周围Ni-Al键键能降低.通过计算弹性模量,应用经验判据得到掺杂后Ni_3Al的刚性、硬度增强.随着Re掺杂浓度的增加,Ni_3Al晶格常数、刚性和硬度随之增大.为了对第一性原理所得结果进行温度修正,进一步结合声子谱计算考察了温度对力学性质的影响.Re的掺杂使得Ni_3Al晶胞的熵略微增加,自由能略微降低,并且大幅度地增加Ni_3Al在高温下的体弹性模量,同时降低Ni_3Al在高温下的热膨胀系数.

Guided-Wave Two-Dimensional Acousto-Optic Scanner Using Proton-Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguide

Two-dimensional scanning of a 0.6328 mum guided-light beam has been realized using noncolinear acousto-optic (AO) coplanar Bragg diffraction together with colinear AO guided-mode to substrate radiation-mode conversion in a Z-cut Xpropagation LiNbO3 proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide. The two surface acoustic (SAW) waves utilized are at the center frequencies of 500 and 200 MHz, propagating in the Y and X axes, respectively. Two-dimensional scanning of approximately 720 resolvable light beam spots, namely, 18 40 (horizontal vertical) scanning, has been demonstrated using a light beam of 1.0 mm aperture. The total number of resolvable beam spots can be greatly increased from 720 by simply utilizing SAW transducers of larger bandwidth and a light beam of greater aperture. It should also be possible to significantly increase the diffraction efficiency from 3 % by optimizing the parameters of the PE waveguide and the SAWs.     

Femtosecond Transform-Limited Pulse Generation by Compensating for the Linear Chirp of SPM Spectra in Dispersion Shifted Fibers

A simple technique of pulse compression, based on the linear chirp compensation of self-phase modulation (SPM) spectra in dispersion shifted fibers, is demonstrated. The optimization procedure is carried out, for a short span of a single-mode fiber, using a parabolic law, which describes the behavior of the squared output pulse width versus the pump peak power in the case of Gaussian pulses. The experimental results give a minimum pulse duration of 233 fs, which is in good agreement with the model. Shorter and coherent pulses, down to 90 fs, have been obtained by inserting an interference filter at the optical output.     

Effect ofγ-radiation on the spectral luminescence characteristics of impure cadmium tungstate crystals

Results of a study of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of cadmium tungstate crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations are presented. Spectral characteristics of the nondnnnoped crystals are briefly described. Absorption and photo and X-ray luminescence spectra of the crystals taken before and after exposure to γ-radiation (5.5·10⁴ Gy) are compared. It is found that the spectral characteristics of the crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations do not change markedly after the exposure. The relation between the type of impurity-induced defects, individual characteristics of the impurity cations, and the character of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of impure crystals is analyzed (preliminarily).

Theoretical analysis and simulation of conjugate heights for dual-conjugate AO system in lidar

A multi-conjugate adaptive optics （MCAO） can offer a possibility of widening field of view （FOV） characterized by the isoplanatic angle, and the choose of conjugate height becomes a basic problem for MCAO, which influences the size of iosplanatic angle. Considering the application of lidar, the isoplanatic angle＇s expressions of two deformable mirrors （DMs） MCAO for uplink and downlink are deduced. The effects of conjugate heights for dual-conjugate AO are thoughtfully discussed, and the isoplanatic angles are further analyzed. The results show that the isopanatic angle varies with the conjugate height and reaches the maximum as the conjugate height is at the optimal altitude. Moreover, the optimal conjugate height changes with the propagation distance.     

Quick single-photon detector with many avalanche photo diodes working on the time division

Due to the limit of response speed of the present single-photon detector, the code rate is still too low to come into practical use for the present quantum key distribution (QKD) system.A new idea is put up to design a quick single-photon detector.This quick single-photon detector is composed of a multi-port optic-fiber splitter and many avalanche photo diodes (APDs).Au of the ports with APDs work on the time division and cooperate with a logic discriminating and deciding unit driven by the clock signal.The operation frequency lies on the number N of ports, and can reach N times of the conventional single-photon detector.The single-photon prompt detection can come true for high repetition-rate pulses.The applying of this detector will largely raise the code rate of the QKD, and boost the commercial use.     

Sorting of bending magnets for the SSRF booster

The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF)booster ring,a full energy injector for the storage ring,is deigned to accelerate the electron beam energy from 150MeV to 3.5GeV that demands high extraction efficiency at the extraction energy with low beam loss rate when electrons are ramping.Closed orbit distortion(COD)caused by bending magnet field uniformity errors which affects the machine performance harmfully could be effectively reduced by bending magnet location sorting.Considering the affections of random errors in measurement,both ideal sorting and realistic sorting are studied based on measured bending magnet field uniformity errors and one reasonable combination of bending magnets which can reduce the horizontal COD by a factor of 5is given as the final installation sequence of the booster bending magnets in this paper.     

Improvement of four-wave mixing-based wavelength conversion efficiency in dispersion shifted fiber by 40-GHz clock pumping

40-GHz clock modulated signal as a pump to improve the efficiency of four-wave mixing (FWM)-based wavelength conversion in a 26.5-km dispersion shifted fiber (DSF) is investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that the conjugated FWM component has higher intensity with the clock pumping than that with the continuous-wave (CW) light pumping. The improvement of FWM-based wavelength conversion efficiency is negligible when the pump power is less than Brillouin threshold. But when the pump power is greater than Brillouin threshold, the improvement becomes significant and increases with the increment of pump power. The improvement can increase up to 9 dB if pump power reaches 17 dBm.     

Characterization of PolyA and PolyC mismatches by Raman spectroscopy

A.C mismatches are studied by Raman spectral characterization of PolyA, PolyC, and their equimolar complex in solution of 0.14 mol/L Na ,pH7.0.Experimental results show that A·C mismatches occur to be A/B (mainly A) conformers, and unlike Watson-Crick base pairing, this kind of mismatches is stabilized by only one hydrogen bond involving cytosine N4H2 and adenine N7.The formation of A·C complex makes the base stacking interactions much stronger, and conformation of the backbone more ordered, which leads to obvious Raman hypochromic effect with some shifts in corresponding bands.
