多路Marx并联高压脉冲电源研究

脉冲功率技术在工业和生物医学领域有着广泛的应用,很多应用场合要求输出数百安培的高压脉冲。固态Marx发生器虽已研究多年,但是被广泛采用直插封装的IGBT和MOSFET功率半导体开关管的额定电流通常都低于100 A,无法满足低阻抗负载的应用需求。为提高输出脉冲电流幅值,提出两种多路Marx发生器并联的脉冲电源的拓扑结构,第一种方案采用多路Marx发生器直接并联,第二种是共用一组充电开关管的多路Marx发生器并联。由FPGA提供充放电控制信号,采用串芯磁环隔离驱动方案实现带负压偏置的同步驱动,主电路选用开通速度快、通流能力强的IGBT为主开关的半桥式固态方波Marx电路。实验结果表明,6路16级Marx直接并联的脉冲发生器能输出重频100 Hz高压方波脉冲幅值可达10 kV,在30Ω负载侧输出峰值电流可达300 A,上升时间230 ns。共用充电开关管的6路4级Marx并联发生器在5Ω电阻负载上的输出电流峰值可达300 A,最大输出电流可达460 A,上升时间272 ns。表明多路Marx发生器并联可以有效地减小系统内阻,提高系统带载能力;改进后的并联方案实现大电流脉冲输出的同时,所采用的开关管数量减小近一半,提高了系统的抗干扰能力的同时,降低了脉冲电源的成本;且增加级间并联导线可进一步改善均流效果。     

Superhard monoclinic BN allotrope in M-carbon structure

Superhard materials have always attracted people's interesting due to their extensive industrial applications. In this work, two reasonable superhard monoclinic allotropes of boron nitrides with space group of Cm have been designed based on previously proposed M-carbon structure using first-principles calculations. Our results show that Cm-BN-1 and Cm-BN-2 are dynamically stable, and they are direct semiconductors with bandgap of 2.69 and 3.90 eV, respectively. Moreover, they could be potential superhard materials with Vickers hardness of 58.0 and 60.4 GPa, respectively. This work provides insights for exploring new superhard boron nitrides materials.     

Torsional vibration of functionally graded nano-rod under magnetic field supported by a generalized torsional foundation based on nonlocal elasticity theory

Abstract

This article contains the nonlocal elasticity theory to capture size effects in functionally graded (FG) nano-rod under magnetic field supported by a torsional foundation. Torque effect of an axial magnetic field on an FG nano-rod has been defined using Maxwell’s relation. The material properties were assumed to vary according to the power law in radial direction. The Navier equation and boundary conditions of the size-dependent FG nano-rod were derived by the Hamilton’s principle. These equations were solved by employing the generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM). Presented model has the ability to turn into the classical model if the material length scale parameter is taken to be zero. The effects of some parameters, such as inhomogeneity constant, magnetic field and small-scale parameter, were studied. As an important result of this study can be stated that an FG nano-rod model based on the nonlocal elasticity theory behaves softer and has smaller natural frequency.     

Asymptotic convergence of solutions for Laplace reaction–diffusion equations

We study the initial–boundary value problem for a Laplace reaction–diffusion equation. After constructing local solutions by using the theory of abstract degenerate evolution equations of parabolic type, we show asymptotic convergence of bounded global solutions if they exist under the assumption that the reaction function is analytic in neighborhoods of their $\omega$-limit sets. Reduction of degenerate evolution equation to multivalued evolution equation enables us to use the theory of the infinite-dimensional Łojasiewicz–Simon gradient inequality.     

ZnS Nanospheres for Optical Modulator in an Erbium-Doped Fiber Laser

Zinc sulfide (ZnS), which belongs to transition metal monochalcogenides, is a semiconductor material with wide direct band gap. It can potentially show some special applications (such as luminescence, phosphor, sensors, infrared window materials, photocatalysis) by changing the morphology, size, and crystal structure of semiconductor materials. However, ZnS nanospheres have not been studied as optical modulators until now. Herein, ZnS nanospheres are synthesized by the hydrothermal method and are used to realize optical modulators in an Er-doped fiber laser. The evanescent field effect is utilized to incorporate the ZnS nanospheres on a tapered fiber. Furthermore, with the increase in pump power, the modulation interval gradually decreases to a minimum of 34.36 ns corresponding to the modulation frequency of 29.1 MHz, which is the highest modulation frequency to our knowledge in a ring cavity all-fiber laser. These results demonstrate ZnS nanospheres together with the interaction of dispersion and nonlinearity in optical fibers can modulate the proposed lasers. This not only provides a new method for controlling the power and frequency of all optical modulators, but also marks an important step for ZnS materials in optics research and device applications.     

Two-dimensional magneto-thermoelastic interactions in a micropolar functionally graded solid

Abstract

The present work is concerned with the 2D deformation in a nonhomogeneous, isotropic, micropolar, magneto-thermoelastic medium in the context of Lord-Shulman theory as a result of an inclined load. The inclined load is supposed to be a linear combination of normal load and tangential load. Material properties are assumed to be graded in x-direction. Normal mode technique is proposed to obtain the analytical expressions for the temperature field, displacement components, and stresses. These are also calculated numerically and depicted graphically to observe the variations of the considered physical variables.

Porphyrin-like porous nanomaterials as drug delivery systems for ibuprofen drug

In recent years, nanomaterial-based drug delivery carriers have become some of the most attractive to be studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction of C60 fullerene, carbon nanotube and graphene having porphyrin-like FeN4 clusters with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen) by means of the density functional theory. Results showed that the graphene with FeN4 clusters could remarkably increase the tendency of graphene for adsorption of ibuprofen drug. Also, our ultraviolet–visible results show that the electronic spectra of the complexes exhibit a blue shift toward lower wavelengths (higher energies). It was found that Ibp/FeN4-graphene had high chemical reactivity, which was important for binding of the drug onto the target site. In order to go further and gain insight into the binding features of considered systems with ibuprofen drug, the Atoms in Molecules analysis was performed. Our results determine the electrostatic features of the Ibp/FeN4-graphene bonding. Consequently, the results demonstrated that the FeN4-graphene could be used as potential carriers for the delivery of ibuprofen drug.
