Small amplitude dust-acoustic soliton energy in dusty plasmas with suprathermal polarization force

The effect of suprathermal polarization force on both linear and weakly nonlinear dust-acoustic solitary structures in a three-component dusty plasma is investigated. For this purpose, a new expression of the polarization force acting on dust particles that include the electronic suprathermal effect is derived. The results are applied to two different experimental dusty plasmas. We have found that the polarization force acting on the dust grains decreases as the electron suprathermality becomes more significant. In addition, we have shown that, for a given value of the spectral index κ , the polarization force magnitude fluctuates from one plasma to another. The changes arising in the propagation of small-amplitude dust-acoustic (DA) solitons due to the presence of this suprathermal polarization force are also analysed. Interestingly, an increase in the magnitude of the polarization force leads to an increase in the amplitude and width of DA soliton and provides more energy to the motion of this soliton.     

Physical aspects of dust–plasma interactions

Low-pressure gas discharge plasmas are known to be strongly affected by the presence of small dust particles. This issue plays a role in the investigations of dust particle-forming plasmas, where the dust-induced instabilities may affect the properties of synthesized dust particles. Also, gas discharges with large amounts of microparticles are used in microgravity experiments, where strongly coupled subsystems of charged microparticles represent particle-resolved models of liquids and solids. In this field, deep understanding of dust–plasma interactions is required to construct the discharge configurations which would be able to model the desired generic condensed matter physics as well as, in the interpretation of experiments, to distinguish the plasma phenomena from the generic condensed matter physics phenomena. In this review, we address only physical aspects of dust–plasma interactions, that is, we always imply constant chemical composition of the plasma as well as constant size of the dust particles. We also restrict the review to two discharge types: dc discharge and capacitively coupled rf discharge. We describe the experimental methods used in the investigations of dust–plasma interactions and show the approaches to numerical modelling of the gas discharge plasmas with large amounts of dust. Starting from the basic physical principles governing the dust–plasma interactions, we discuss the state-of-the-art understanding of such complicated, discharge-type-specific phenomena as dust-induced stratification and transverse instability in a dc discharge or void formation and heartbeat instability in an rf discharge.     

广义热波长:定义、意义和应用

光子气体和低温下强简量子气体都不是经典理想气体,通常的热波长没有意义。但是,它们存在每个粒子的平均动量,因此可以定义广义热波长.这个热波长是系统量子相干性的一个量度,在非简并条件下,实物粒子系统广义热波长回到通常的热波长.简并条件下,热力学系统的线度必须大于广义热波长,因此导致了对热力学系统出现相关现象的最小线度,即最小线度判据.本文利用这一判据给出了一些典型系统的最小线度.     

六方氮化硼薄膜对石墨烯-碳化硅结构近场热辐射的增强

六方氮化硼(hBN)具有跟石墨烯类似的层状结构和晶格参数,研究发现hBN薄膜具有良好的热传导、电绝缘、光学和力学等性能。本文从理论上研究了hBN薄膜对石墨烯-碳化硅(G/S)结构的近场热辐射的影响。研究发现在红外频段.hBN薄膜在低频率区和高频率区会增强G/S结构的近场热辐射,经计算在G/S结构中加入厚度为10 nm的hBN薄膜时获得的辐射热流是同物理条件下G/S结构的1.5倍;而在中频率区hBN薄膜的厚度阻碍了石墨烯表面等离激元和碳化硅表面声子极化激元的耦合,使得近场热辐射热流随hBN薄膜厚度增加而逐渐减弱。本研究的结果可为下一步实验与应用中对hBN薄膜厚度的选择提供理论基础。     

耐高温CrAlON基太阳能光谱选择性吸收涂层的制备与热稳定性

光谱选择性吸收涂层是太阳能光-热利用技术的核心部件,直接决定着整个系统的转换效率,为了提高涂层的选择吸收性和热稳定性,本文提出以金属氮化物替代金属纳米颗粒,构建纳米晶-非晶异质结构的思路,并采用多弧离子镀制备了Cr/CrAlN/CrAlON/CrAlN/CrAlON/CrAlO多吸收层光谱选择性吸收涂层,其吸收率达0.90,发射率为0.15,而且在500℃、大气条件下时效220 h后,涂层的吸收率升至0.94,发射率则降至0.10,并且能够保持稳定1000 h以上.微观组织分析表明,高温时效处理后,吸收层发生部分晶化形成了大量氮化物纳米颗粒,增加了对太阳光的散射和吸收,而CrAlO减反射层中的部分晶化形成了Al2O3和Cr2O3纳米颗粒,这不仅可以保护内部涂层不被氧化,而且Al2O3的形成可以增加太阳光的透过率,减少涂层表面反射,是多吸收层CrAlON基光谱选择性吸收涂层选择吸收性能提高的主要原因.同时,氮化物纳米颗粒被非晶基体均匀地分隔开来,形成了纳米晶-非晶异质结构,非晶在高温时效处理过程中只发生结构弛豫,从而有效地抑制了高温条件下的原子扩散,保证涂层中的纳米颗粒在高温下不发生明显团聚,这是多吸收层CrAlON基涂层具有良好热稳定性的最主要原因.这些研究结果对提高金属陶瓷光谱选择性吸收涂层的综合性能,实现更高效率的太阳能光-热利用具有重大意义.     

Uniformity analysis of temperature distribution in an industrial MOCVD reactor

Three‐dimensional models, coupling fluid flow and heat transfer, have been adopted to analyze influences of the process parameters on the temperature uniformity in an industrial MOCVD reactor. Important factors, such as the inlet gas flow, the susceptor rotation, the heater power, the distance between the heat shield and the susceptor (d₁), as well as the distance between the heater and the susceptor (d₂), have been investigated carefully. The system heating condition is characterized by temperature uniformity denoted as the standard deviation of temperature, and by thermal efficiency expressed as a combination parameter of the dissipated energy. The results reveal that decrease of the gas flow and the rotation rate, as well as increase of the distance d₁, could monotonically enhance the temperature uniformity. The results also show that decrease of the above three parameters could improve the thermal efficiency. Furthermore, increase of the distance d₂ enhances the temperature uniformity, and reduces the thermal efficiency slightly. The influences of the parameters on the uniformity vary at the different locations of the susceptor as divided into Zone A, Zone B and Zone C. The conclusions help the growth engineer optimize the system design and process conditions of the reactor.     

Time and temperature induced phase transformation in L‐isoleucine hydrochloride monohydrated crystal

Semi organic crystals have been intensively studied aiming applications in nonlinear optical (NLO). Such applicability requires crystals with both high quality and thermal stability, which make the full characterization of this material a topic issue. In this paper, single crystals of L‐isoleucine hydrochloride monohydrated (L‐Ile.H2O.HCl) was synthesized by slow evaporation technique and characterized by thermal analysis and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. XRD results at 298 K showed that the sample crystallize with the orthorhombic structure, and the lattice parameters obtained by Rietveld refinement were a = 5.873(3) Å, b = 24.814(4) Å, and c = 6.873(5) Å. Thermal analysis measurements shows four decomposition stages between 328 ‐480 K which were associated with loss of water by desolvation, loss crystallization water and decomposition of L‐Ile.HCl. XRD measurements as a function of temperature up to 428 K show an irreversible phase transformation. This transformation was obtained after 32 hours keeping the L‐Ile.HCl.H2O sample at 413 K. The analysis shows that phase transformation occurs due to water and chlorine losses without destroy the amino acid carbon chain and in the end of transformation only the precursor amino acid remains. L‐Ile.HCl.H2O present low thermal stability and the phase transformation is time and temperature dependent.

A series of metal–organic frameworks built from a propionate-functionalized purine-containing ligand 3-(6-oxo-6,9-dihydro-1H-purin-1-yl)propanoic acid (H₂L), {[La(HL)₃(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O}_n (1), {[Ce(HL)₃(H₂O)₂]·4H₂O}_n (2), [Co(HL)₂(H₂O)₂]_n (3), {[Cd(L)(H₂O)]·0.5H₂O}_n (4) and {[Pb(HL)(C₂O₄)_0.5(H₂O)]·2H₂O}_n (5), was synthesized and characterized. Isostructural 1 and 2 have polymeric chain structures further linked into 3-D porous supramolecular frameworks with 1-D open channels through complicated interchain hydrogen bonding interactions. At 77 K and 1 bar, the dehydrated porous materials 1 and 2 show adsorption behaviors with maximum nitrogen uptakes of 14 and 23 mL g^?1, respectively. Complexes 3–5 are 2-D coordination polymers but have different topological structures. Metallohelicate 3 has (4,4) nets composed of left- and right-handed metal–organic helices sharing the common metal centers, but metallohelicate 4 possesses (4·8²) topology and 5 has 6³-topological structure. In 3 and 5, the polymeric layers are further assembled through regular interlayer hydrogen bonding interactions to form 3-D supramolecular frameworks. Additionally, the thermostabilities of 1–5 as well as the magnetism of 3 were also investigated.

Nanoparticle enabled thermal control of ions in liquid crystals

Typically, ionic species in thermotropic liquid crystals are nearly fully ionised. Therefore, the concentration of mobile ions practically does not depend on the temperature. Interestingly, the same liquid crystals doped with nanoparticles exhibit totally different behaviour. The concentration of mobile ions become temperature dependent. This paper reports the effects of the temperature on the concentration of ions in liquid crystal nanocolloids. Liquid crystals doped with both 100% pure and contaminated nanoparticles are considered. Regardless the ionic purity of nanodopants, the concentration of mobile ions in liquid crystal nanocolloids increases towards the saturation as their temperature goes up. The magnitude of this saturation level equals the initial concentration of ions in liquid crystals doped with 100% pure nanoparticles. The temperature induced release of ions by contaminated nanoparticles in liquid crystals increases the above-mentioned saturation level. While the dispersion of 100% pure nanoparticles in liquid crystals leads to the temperature-dependent purification only, the use of contaminated nanoparticles results in the temperature-driven switching between the purification and contamination regimes enabling thermal control of ions.
