Effects of phase explosion in pulsed laser deposition of nickel thin film and sub-micron droplets

Nickel (Ni) thin films were deposited on glass substrates in high vacuum and at room temperature with third-harmonic or 355-nm output from a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser. At low laser fluence of 1 J/cm², the deposition rate was about 0.0016 nm/shot which increased linearly until 4 J/cm². Above 4 J/cm², the onset of phase explosion in the ablation abruptly increased the optical emission intensity from laser-produced Ni plume as well as thin-film deposition rate by about 6×. The phase explosion also shifted the size distribution and number density of Ni droplets on its thin-film surface. On the other hand, the surface structures of the ablated Ni targets were compared between the scan-mode and the fixed-mode ablations, which may suggest that droplets observed on the thin-film surface were caused by direct laser-induced splashing of molten Ni rather than vapour-to-cluster condensation during the plume propagation.     

The mechanism of formation of copper aluminide in the thermal explosion mode

The mechanism of formation of copper aluminides in the thermal explosion mode was studied. A molded mixture of copper and aluminum powders was heated to the self-ignition temperature by the radiation of a tungsten heater. The phase transformations were detected by time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXRD). The kinetics of heat release due to the chemical reaction was studied by measuring the temperature of the sample. The macrokinetic stages of the process were revealed, and the apparent activation energy of each stage was estimated.

Investigation of the local structure variance of water molecules in laser-induced thermal desorption process

This paper presents the use of molecular dynamics simulation in the study of laser-induced thermal desorption (LITD) of water molecules adjacent to a laser-heated Au substrate. The local structure of the water molecules is investigated by considering the densities of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, the average number of neighbors, n_NN, and the average number of H-bonds, n_HB. At an equilibrium temperature of 300 K, the simulation results show that three adsorption water layers are formed in the immediate vicinity of the Au surface, and that each four-fold hollow site on the uppermost Au(0 0 1) surface is occupied by a single water molecule. Following laser-induced heating of the Au substrate with a sub-picosecond laser pulse of 350 fs, the substrate temperature increases to 1000 K. This causes a gradual heating of the adjacent water film, which is accompanied by a decrease in the values of n_NN and n_HB. Hence, it can be concluded that an increase in the water film temperature destroys the hydrogen-bonding network throughout the water film. Although the maximum local temperature of the water film occurs in the region immediately adjacent to the Au substrate, it is determined that the attractive energy between the Au atoms and the water molecules in this region causes the water molecules to aggregate together to form three-dimensional water clusters. Furthermore, this energy prevents the hydrogen bonds in this region from breaking apart as violently as those within the phase explosion region. Finally, it is observed that the phase explosion phenomenon occurs in the region of the water film where the values of n_NN and n_HB are at a minimum.     

Thermal explosion in multiple phase media

Thermal explosion (or self-ignition) is one of the mainly interesting and dangerous phenomena in the combustion. Homogeneous combustible gas mixtures with highly exothermic reaction reveal only two main types of the behaviour: explosive and slow. Transient regime between these main types of behaviour is traditionally called the thermal explosion limit. Addition of another phase (solid or liquid) into combustible gas mixture can lead to essential changes in the dynamical situation. This paper deals with an interesting phenomenon of thermal explosion in two-phase media, so-called thermal explosion with delay. Existence and type of temperature delay before the self-ignition depends on mass and thermal properties of the second phase. The analysis is based on qualitative theory of singular perturbed systems and duck techniques.

Doubly stochastic Yule cascades (Part I): The explosion problem in the time-reversible case

Motivated by the probabilistic methods for nonlinear differential equations introduced by McKean (1975) for the Kolmogorov-Petrovski-Piskunov (KPP) equation, and by Le Jan and Sznitman (1997) for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations (NSE), we identify a new class of stochastic cascade models, referred to as doubly stochastic Yule cascades. We establish non-explosion criteria under the assumption that the randomization of Yule intensities from generation to generation is by an ergodic time-reversible Markov process. In addition to the cascade models that arise in the analysis of certain deterministic nonlinear differential equations, this model includes the multiplicative branching random walks, the branching Markov processes, and the stochastic generalizations of the percolation and/or cell ageing models introduced by Aldous and Shields (1988) and independently by Athreya (1985).     

线型聚能装药的理论研究

本文提出了一端起爆的线型聚能装药射流形成的不定常理论模型。根据这一模型,当金属罩在爆轰波作用下的运动速度为已知时,则不论此速度是否是时间或初始位置的函数,都能得到射流形成时的速度,质量和位置等参数。 按照本文模型,Defourneaux.M.的定常射流形成定常模型是一个简单的特例。我们利用本文的模型对等厚度装药的情况进行了计算,并与实验结果比较,两者符合良好。同时计算结果表明,考虑射流形成的不定常因素,可以较好地解释射流头部的质量堆积和射流内部的反向速度梯度等实验现象。本文的模型可以为线型聚能切割索的设计提供较为准确的理论指导。
