Effects of the triple junction types on the grain boundary carbide precipitation in a nickel-based superalloy,a statistical analysis

The morphology evolution of carbide precipitated on grain boundary nearby different triple junctions in grain boundary engineering (GBE) treated nickel-based Inconel Alloy 690 aged at 715°C for different time was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction. The results show that, the diversity of triple junction types was increased by GBE significantly. The size and morphology of grain boundary carbide were not only affected by the grain boundary character, but also the nearby grain boundary character at the triple junction. The higher Σ values of the nearby grain boundaries, the larger carbide precipitated on the other grain boundary. Based on the experimental results, the effects of grain boundary characters and triple junction types on the carbide precipitation behaviours are discussed.

On-Surface Synthesis of One-Dimensional Carbon-Based Nanostructures via C−X and C−H Activation Reactions

The past decades have witnessed the emergence of low-dimensional carbon-based nanostructures owing to their unique properties and various subsequent applications. It is of fundamental importance to explore ways to achieve atomically precise fabrication of these interesting structures. The newly developed on-surface synthesis approach provides an efficient strategy for this challenging issue, demonstrating the potential of atomically precise preparation of low-dimensional nanostructures. Up to now, the formation of various surface nanostructures, especially carbon-based ones, such as graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), kinds of organic (organometallic) chains and films, have been achieved via on-surface synthesis strategy, in which in-depth understanding of the reaction mechanism has also been explored. This review article will provide a general overview on the formation of one-dimensional carbon-based nanostructures via on-surface synthesis method. In this review, only a part of the on-surface chemical reactions (specifically, C−X (X=Cl, Br, I) and C−H activation reactions) under ultra-high vacuum conditions will be covered.     

Insight into room-temperature catalytic oxidation of NO by CrO2(110): A DFT study

The first-principles DFT calculations together with microkinetic analysis reveal the complex catalytic mechanism of low-content NO oxidation on CrO₂(110) at room temperature. It quantitatively makes clear that CrO₂(110) can exhibit considerable activity with the Mars-van-Krevelen mechanism preferred, and the nitrate species serves as the key poisoning species.     

Optical Trapping with Focused Surface Waves

Near-field optical trapping can be realized with focused evanescent waves that are excited at the water–glass interface due to the total internal reflection, or with focused plasmonic waves excited on the water–gold interface. Herein, the performance of these two kinds of near-field optical trapping techniques is compared using the same optical microscope configuration. Experimental results show that only a single-micron polystyrene bead can be trapped by the focused evanescent waves, whereas many beads are simultaneously attracted to the center of the excited region by focused plasmonic waves. This difference in trapping behavior is analyzed from the electric field intensity distributions of these two kinds of focused surface waves and the difference in trapping behavior is attributed to photothermal effects due to the light absorption by the gold film.     

Stochastic sensitivity analysis of coupled acoustic-structural systems under non-stationary random excitations

This paper presents a new sensitivity analysis method for coupled acoustic–structural systems subjected to non-stationary random excitations. The integral of the response power spectrum density (PSD) of the coupled system is taken as the objective function. The thickness of each structural element is used as a design variable. A time-domain algorithm integrating the pseudo excitation method (PEM), direct differentiation method (DDM) and high precision direct (HPD) integration method is proposed for the sensitivity analysis of the objective function with respect to design variables. Firstly, the PEM is adopted to transform the sensitivity analysis under non-stationary random excitations into the sensitivity analysis under pseudo transient excitations. Then, the sensitivity analysis equation of the coupled system under pseudo transient excitations is derived based on the DDM. Moreover, the HPD integration method is used to efficiently solve the sensitivity analysis equation under pseudo transient excitations in a reduced-order modal space. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

基于MRS-SJC-Copula模型对A股与港股的动态联动性研究

由于经济增长周期变化,导致不同股票市场存在高低状态转换的现象,在研究不同股票市场之间联动性的研究时,需要考虑股票波动均值和方差两种结构变化。基于具有马尔可夫状态转换的动态SJC-Copula,结合修正ICSS算法对我国内地股票市场和香港股票市场之间的联动性进行方差结构突变点的检验。实证结果表明:国内和香港股票市场之间存在非线性非对称的时变相依性,并持续存在高低两种不同状态的概率转换。股票指数由于动态联动受到负面消息的下跌幅度大于正面消息的变化幅度,且上下尾部均受上期信息的持续影响。“沪港通”、“深港通”、中美贸易战等因素使得其上下尾部发生结构突变,内地与香港股票市场的联动性增大和市场波动幅度趋强。
