Universality of entropy principle for a general diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theory

Thermodynamics plays an important role in gravitational theories. It is a principle that is independent of gravitational dynamics, and there is still no rigorous proof to show that it is consistent with the dynamical principle. We consider a self-gravitating perfect fluid system with the general diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theory. Based on the Noether charge method proposed by Iyer and Wald, considering static off/on-shell variational configurations, which satisfy the gravitational constraint equation, we rigorously prove that the extrema of the total entropy of a perfect fluid inside a compact region for a fixed total particle number demands that the static configuration is an on-shell solution after we introduce some appropriate boundary conditions, i.e., it also satisfies the spatial gravitational equations. This means that the entropy principle of the fluid stores the same information as the gravitational equation in a static configuration. Our proof is universal and holds for any diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theories, such as Einstein gravity, \begin{document}$ f(R)$\end{document} gravity, Lovelock gravity, f(Gauss-Bonnet) gravity and Einstein-Weyl gravity. Our result indicates the consistency between ordinary thermodynamics and gravitational dynamics.     

Nonideal double-slope effect in organic field-effect transistors

With the development of device engineering and molecular design,organic field effect transistors(OFETs)with high mobility over 10 cm2 V-1-s-1 have been reported.However,the nonideal doubleslope effect has been frequently observed in some of these OFETs,which makes it difficult to extract the intrinsic mobility OFETs accurately,impeding the further application of them.In this review,the origin of the nonideal double-slope effect has been discussed thoroughly,with affecting factors such as contact resistance,charge trapping,disorder effects and coulombic interactions considered.According to these discussions and the understanding of the mechanism behind double-slope effect,several strategies have been proposed to realize ideal OFETs,such as doping,molecular engineering,charge trapping reduction,and contact engineering.After that,some novel devices based on the nonideal double-slope behaviors have been also introduced.

Structures,stabilities and electronic properties of boron-doped silicon clusters B3Sin (n=1–17) and their anions

The structures, stabilities and electronic properties of neutral and anionic B₃Si_n (n?=?1–17) clusters have been systemically investigated on the basis of density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311?+?G(d) level and CALYPSO structure prediction method. The structural searches show that three boron atoms tend to form B₃ triangle encapsulated into Si_n cages with the increasing number of silicon atoms. Most of the lowest energy structures can be derived by using the squashed pentagonal bipyramid structure of B₃Si₄ and B₃Si₄^? as the major building unit. The relative stabilities are studied based on the calculated binding energies, second-order difference of energies and HOMO–LUMO gaps of the lowest energy structures. In addition, Hirshfeld, natural population analysis, Bader approaches and natural electronic configuration are performed to explore the charge transfer. At last, molecular orbital, magnetic properties, IR, Raman and UV–vis spectra are also, respectively, analysed for providing strong support for essential theoretical and experimental research.     

EAST���Ӳ�ϵͳ������ģʽ����

A three-channel far-infrared (FIR) HCN laser interferometer has been developed to measure the line averaged electron density on EAST tokamak. Detectors with the properties of high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio, small volume and stability are needed in interferometer device. The application of new Schottky barrier diode (SBD) detector has made the density signal and the signal-to-noise ratio greatly improved. The disturbance caused by the lower hybrid wave can be eliminated by using double copper foil shield and narrow band pass filter. The improved detectors have worked well during the long pulse discharge and H mode discharge.     

The Effect of OMMT on the Morphology and Mechanical Properties of PVC/ABS Blends

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) blends containing organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) were prepared using a twin-screw extruder followed by injection molding. The OMMT dispersion was evaluated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The clay was preferentially situated in the PVC phase and across the interfaces of PVC/ABS. The effect of the addition of OMMT on the morphology and mechanical properties was also evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a large reduction in domain size when OMMT was used. The mechanical properties were studied through tensile and impact tests. The yield stress increased when an appropriate amount of OMMT was used without impairing the impact strength.     

Reactive Compatibilization of Poly(Butylene Terephthalate)/Acrylonitrile-Styrene-Acrylate Blends by Epoxy Resin: Morphology and Mechanical Properties

The effect on the notched Izod impact strength of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) by blending it with acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate (ASA) was examined. Epoxy resin (ER) was demonstrated to be an efficient compatibilizer for the partially compatible blends of PBT/ASA. It requires only a very small amount of ER to improve the toughness of the PBT/ASA blends drastically. Furthermore, there exists an optimum proportion of ER added to achieve maximum notched Izod impact strength. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation suggests that the ER in the PBT/ASA/ER blends suppressing the tendency of coalescence of ASA, leading to better dispersion of the ASA particles. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) shows that ER enhances the phase dispersion and the interfacial adhesion between the PBT and ASA phases, it improves the compatibility between PBT and ASA. The compositions in the interphase was continuous, which results in multiphase composites with a graded interphase. It is suggested that enhanced interphase adhesion was necessary to obtain improved dispersion, fine phase morphology, and better toughness.     

Influence of Mixing Technique on Microstructure and Impact Properties of Isotactic Polypropylene/ Poly(Cis-Butadiene) Rubber Blends

Isotactic polypropylene/poly(cis-butadiene) rubber (iPP/PcBR vol%: 80/20) blends were prepared by melt mixing with various mixing rotation speeds. The effect of mixing technique on microstructure and impact property of blends was studied. Phase structure of the blends was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All of the blends had a heterogeneous morphology. The spherical particles attributed to the PcBR-rich phase were uniformly dispersed in the continuous iPP matrix. With increase of the mixing rotation speed, the dispersed phase particle's diameter distribution became broader and the average diameter of the separated particles increased. The spherulitic morphology of the blends was observed by small angle light scattering (SALS). Higher mixing rotation speed led to a more imperfect spherulitic morphology and smaller spherulites. Crystalline structure of the blends was measured by wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The introduction of 20 vol% PcBR induced the formation of iPPβ crystals. Higher rotation speed led to a decrease in microcrystal dimensions. However, the addition of PcBR and the increase of mixing rotation speed did not affect the interplanar distance. The long period values were the same within experimental error as PcBR was added or the mixing rotation speed quickened. The normalized relative degree of crystallinity of the blends slightly increased under lower rotation speeds (30 and 45 rpm) and decreased under higher rotation speeds. The notched Izod impact strength of the blends was enhanced as a result of the increase of mixing rotation speed.     

The effect of thermal reactor neutron irradiation on semi-insulating GaN

Semi-insulating Gallium nitride was irradiated by fast and thermal neutrons with fluences from 10¹⁴ to 10¹⁶ n/cm². Depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy was used to determine defects changes before and after irradiation. The results revealed two kinds of defects affected near-band emission recombination from two opposite directions. One was attributed to irradiation-induced N vacancies that contribute to near-band emission recombination. Another was attributed to irradiation-induced deep level defects that contribute to sub-band gap recombination and thus decrease the near-band emission recombination.
