Potential distribution around a test charge in a positive dust-electron plasma

The electrostatic potential caused by a test-charge particle in a positive dust-electron plasma is studied, accounting for the dust-charge fluctuations associated with ultraviolet photoelectron and thermionic emissions. For this purpose, the set of Vlasov–Poisson equations coupled with the dust charging equation is solved by using the space–time Fourier transform technique. As a consequence, a modified dielectric response function is obtained for dust-acoustic waves in a positive dust-electron plasma. By imposing certain conditions on the velocity of the test charge, the electrostatic potential is decomposed into the Debye–Hückel (DH), wake-field (WF), and far-field (FF) potentials that are significantly modified in the limit of a large dust-charge relaxation rate both analytically and numerically. The results can be helpful for understanding dust crystallization/coagulation in twocomponent plasmas, where positively charged dust grains are present.     

Controlling the surface buckling wrinkles by patterning the material system of hard-nano-film/soft-matter-substrate

Wrinkling and buckling of nano-films on the compliant substrate are always induced due to thermal deformation mismatch.This paper proposes effective means to control the surface wrinkling of thin film on the compliant substrate,which exploits the curvatures of the curve cracks designed on the stiff film.The procedures of the method are summarized as:1)curve patterns are fabricated on the surface of PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane)substrate and then the aluminum film with the thickness of several hundred nano-meters is deposited on the substrate;2)the curve patterns are transferred onto the aluminum film and lead to cracking of the film along the curves.The cracking redistributes the stress in the compressed film on the substrate;3)on the concave side of the curve,the wrinkling of the film surface is suppressed to be identified as shielding effect and on the convex side the wrinkling of the film surface is induced to be identified as inductive effect.The shielding and inductive effects make the dis-ordered wrinkling and buckling controllable.This phenomenon provides a potential application in the fabrication of flexible electronic devices.     

Dose estimation and shielding calculation for X-ray hazard at high intensity laser facilities

An ionizing radiation hazard produced from the interaction between high intensity lasers and solid targets has been observed. Laser-plasma interactions create "hot" electrons, which generate bremsstrahlung X-rays when they interact with ions in the target. However, up to now only limited studies have been conducted on this laser-induced radiological protection issue. In this paper, the physical process and characteristics of the interaction between high intensity lasers and solid targets are analyzed. The parameters of the radiation sources are discussed, including the energy conversion efficiency from laser to hot electrons, hot electron energy spectrum and electron temperature, and the bremsstrahlung X-ray energy spectrum produced by hot electrons. Based on this information, the X-ray dose generated with high-Z targets for laser intensities between 10¹⁴ and 10²⁰ W/cm² is estimated. The shielding effects of common shielding items such as the glass view port, aluminum chamber wall and concrete wall are also studied using the FLUKA Monte Carlo code. This study provides a reference for the dose estimation and the shielding design of high intensity laser facilities.

大空腔探测系统的Am-Li中子优化屏蔽

为了减少Am-Li中子本底对高浓铀部件质量主动多重性测量的影响,对大空腔探测系统(NPLNMC)Am-Li中子本底的优化屏蔽进行了模拟研究,提出了一个基于高密度聚乙烯为中子屏蔽体的优化方案。通过对比模拟结果与屏蔽前实验测量结果,发现屏蔽使Am-Li中子本底探测效率明显降低,从原来的15.77%降为屏蔽后的1.94%,大约降低了87.7%;而屏蔽对裂变中子计数的影响却相对较小,只比屏蔽前降低约2.4%。本底中子计数的降低明显提高了系统对铀部件质量测量的灵敏度,在3000s测量时间内,其质量测量下限从原来的大约6.4kg下降到屏蔽后的2.6kg;同时,屏蔽后的NPL-NMC系统在相同测量条件下,铀部件质量测量准确性提高50%以上。     

Active sound control in 3D bounded regions

We consider active sound control with the preservation of wanted sound in 3D bounded regions via numerical experiments. In contrast to some previous papers which are based on the difference potential method, our approach in the present work is based on surface potentials. In active sound control, some bounded domain is shielded from noise generated outside by situating additional sources at the perimeter of the domain to be protected. The method does not require knowledge of the source of noise (nature, location, and intensity). The approach allows the presence of wanted sound in the shielded domain, which is preserved, while the noise is canceled. To implement the method, the only required knowledge is the total acoustic field at the perimeter of the shielded domain. A number of test cases in different 3D bounded domain configurations are considered in the frequency domain. Furthermore, for the first time the effect of the number of secondary sources on the noise cancelation is studied. A significant level of volume noise cancelation is achieved at most parts of the shielded domain.     

Electric and magnetic dipole shielding constants for the ground state of the relativistic hydrogen‐like atom: Application of the Sturmian expansion of the generalized Dirac‐Coulomb Green function

The Sturmian expansion of the generalized Dirac‐Coulomb Green function (Szmytkowski, J Phys B, 1997, 30, 825; erratum 1997, 30, 2747) is exploited to derive closed‐form expressions for electric $(\sigma_{E})$ and magnetic $(\sigma_{M})$ dipole shielding constants for the ground state of the relativistic hydrogen‐like atom with a point‐like and spinless nucleus of charge Ze. It is found that $\sigma_{E}=Z^{-1}$ (as it should be) and where $\gamma_{1}=\sqrt{1-(Z\alpha)^{2}}$ (α is the fine‐structure constant). This expression for $\sigma_{M}$ agrees with earlier findings of several other authors, obtained with the use of other analytical techniques, and is elementary compared to an alternative one presented recently by Cheng et al. (J Chem Phys 2009, 130, 144102), which involves an infinite series of ratios of the Euler's gamma functions. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2012

Elastic behaviour of an edge dislocation near a sharp crack emanating from a semi-elliptical blunt crack

The interaction between an edge dislocation and a crack emanating from a semi-elliptic hole is dealt with. Utilizing the complex variable method, closed form solutions are derived for complex potentials and stress fields. The stress intensity factor at the tip of the crack and the image force acting on the edge dislocation are also calculated. The influence of the morphology of the blunt crack and the position of the edge dislocation on the shielding effect to the crack and the image force is examined in detail. The results indicate that the shielding or anti-shielding effect to the stress intensity factor increases acutely when the dislocation approaches the tip of the crack. The effect of the morphology of the blunt crack on the stress intensity factor of the crack and the image force is very significant.     

Novel Microstrip Photonic Bandgap Cell Structures

In general, a planar microstrip photonic bandgap (PBG) structure os a periodic array of holes etched in the ground plane of a microstrip line. To use a circuit with a PBG, the PBG structure cannot be fixed on a metal base and needs to be shielded. In this paper, two kinds of novel microstrip PBG unit cells with special patterns etched in the strip line, which can be used as the conventional microstrip circuits, are proposed and analyzed in detail. The results show that the transmission line theory is valid for the theoretic analysis of PBG circuits.
