W/Cu梯度功能材料的高热负荷性能研究

用等离子体喷涂和热压方法制作了W/Cu梯度功能材料(FGM)样品,用大功率ND∶YAG激光对其进行了高热负载模拟实验.结果表明,在100～400MW@m-2的瞬时(脉冲宽度为4ms)热负载下,经过200～700次热循环,未发现有W-Cu复合体开裂.在123MW@m-2的功率密度下作用700次,发现钨表面有再结晶现象及严重的晶界腐蚀和裂纹,再结晶的平均晶粒尺寸约为5～10μm,垂直于表面呈柱状结构,再结晶层厚度约20～30μm.由于激光的淬冷效应,晶粒生长的趋势并不明显.在398MW@m-2功率密度下出现了明显的腐蚀坑,坑内呈疏松的蜂窝结构,坑的边缘出现了明显沉积区,能谱分析表明沉积区集聚了大量的金属杂质.等离子体喷涂试样比热压试样更易产生晶界的断裂的裂纹.在相同的热负荷条件下,W/Cu FGM的重量损失低于石墨材料的重量损失.     

Indexes and Special Discretization Methods for Linear partial Differential Algebraic Equations

Linear partial differential algebraic equations (PDAEs) of the form Au _t(t, x) + Bu _xx(t, x) + Cu(t, x) = f(t, x) are studied where at least one of the matrices A, B R ^n×n is singular. For these systems we introduce a uniform differential time index and a differential space index. We show that in contrast to problems with regular matrices A and B the initial conditions and/or boundary conditions for problems with singular matrices A and B have to fulfill certain consistency conditions. Furthermore, two numerical methods for solving PDAEs are considered. In two theorems it is shown that there is a strong dependence of the order of convergence on these indexes. We present examples for the calculation of the order of convergence and give results of numerical calculations for several aspects encountered in the numerical solution of PDAEs.     

Theoretical analysis of collisional shift and broadening of antiprotonic helium spectral lines

Effect of medium density on shift and broadening of ( ) spectral lines is considered in the framework of binary-collision approximation with an effective ( )–He potential including the long-range attraction and short-range repulsion. Quantum calculations of the scattering phase shifts at reasonable values of the potential parameters allow to explain the main features of the observed density effect on the shape of ( ) spectral lines in low-temperature helium. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Laguerre geometry of surfaces with plane lines of curvature

We study surfaces with plane lines of curvature in the framework of Laguerre geometry and provide explicit representation formulae for these surfaces in terms of a potential function. As an application, we explicitly integrate allL- minimal surfaces with plane curvature lines. Partially supported by MURST 40.     

Origin of cathodic degradation and new phase formation at the La0.9Sr0.1MnO3/YSZ interface

New phase formation at the La_0.9Sr_0.1MnO₃/YSZ interface and its effects on the cathodic performances were studied at 900 °C in air. The resistance caused by the interfacial product layer kept increasing with time to reach up to 40% of the total resistance after 500 h. The interfacial product was identified as La₂Zr₂O₇ by XRD measurement. The electrical conductivity of La₂Zr₂O₇ (2.4 × 10⁻⁵ S cm⁻¹ at 1000 °C), measured by AC impedance and current interruption methods, was 4 to 7 orders of magnitude smaller than those of La_0.9Sr_0.1MnO₃ electrode or YSZ electrolyte. Either the electronic conductivity or the electrochemical O₂ reduction activity of La₂Zr₂O₇ was negligible. Combining these results, a conclusion was made that the cathodic degradation comes mainly from the growth of interfacial product layer and its contribution to the cell resistance increment is ohmic in nature.     

Reduction of AC losses applying novel resistive interfilamentary carbonate barriers in multifilamentary Bi(2223) tapes

Hysteresis losses and coupling losses, a main component of the AC losses in Bi(2223) tapes, can effectively be reduced by enhancing the resistivity of the matrix material between the filaments and applying a filament twist. Since through alloying the sheath, as using AgAu(8 wt.%), the resistivity can only be raised by a factor <10 (77 K), a new conductor configuration with a quite novel composite matrix having resistive SrCO₃ barriers inside the Ag matrix between the filaments was developed. These new barriers, a cheap and commercial material, withstand the tape annealing, do not react with the superconductor, sinter dense and have a good bonding to Ag. Applying two different preparation techniques for 19 filament prototype tapes, critical current densities up to 20.7 kA cm⁻² were achieved. We report on tape preparation, the effect on the phase texture and the superconducting properties of such barrier tapes.     

Time-stepping algorithms for semidiscretized linear parabolic PDEs based on rational approximants with distinct real poles

Time dependent problems in Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are often solved by the Method Of Lines (MOL). For linear parabolic PDEs, the exact solution of the resulting system of first order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) satisfies a recurrence relation involving the matrix exponential function. In this paper, we consider the development of a fourth order rational approximant to the matrix exponential function possessing real and distinct poles which, consequently, readily admits a partial fraction expansion, thereby allowing the distribution of the work in solving the corresponding linear algebraic systems in essentially Backward Euler-like solves on concurrent processors. The resulting parallel algorithm possesses appropriate stability properties, and is implemented on various parabolic PDEs from the literature including the forced heat equation and the advection-diffusion equation.Dedicated to Professor J.

Pressure effects on 2p5 3p - 2p5 3d transitions in neon

The collisional broadening and shift of four spectral lines of neon (747.2, 748.8, 753.5, 754.4 nm) arising from 2p⁵ 3p - 2p⁵ 3d transitions, emitted from a low-pressure glow discharge in pure neon and neon-helium mixtures have been measured using a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The values of pressure broadening and shift coefficients are determined and analyzed in terms of the impact theory.
