A continuum model for intermittent deformation of single crystal micropillars

Strain bursts are often observed during compression tests of single crystal micropillars. In this work, we formulate a new continuum model that accounts for the strain bursts within the framework of crystal plasticity. The strain bursts are separated from the loading stage (nearly elastic loading) by introducing a dimensionless constant in the continuum model, and are detected by load serrations. The boundary conditions in the context of micropillar compression are studied and they are shown to be changing and unpredictable as plastic deformation proceeds. To evaluate the validity of our model, finite element simulations of the uniaxial compression tests on nickel micropillars are performed. Our simulations produce clearly visible strain bursts during the plastic flow and the produced intermittent flows are comparable with the experimental observations. For the bulk crystal, a series of strain bursts is identified in the course of plastic flow, despite an apparently smooth stress–strain response. We also show that the intermittent flow is intensified in the micrometer-scale due to both increasing numbers of the successive strain bursts and increasing amplitude of the strain burst, when the specimen size decreases. Finally, we show that the occurrences of the strain bursts are always associated with negative values of the second-order work.     

The influences of amplified spontaneous emission,crystal temperature and round-trip loss on scaling of CW thin-disk laser

In this paper, a model is built to explore how the parameters (amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), temperature and round-trip loss) influence the output power in a thin-disk laser. It is found that optical efficiency of the disk laser is reduced with the increase of ASE, temperature or round-trip loss. The parameters are optimized to maximize the output power based on our model. We find that it is necessary to balance the need to lower the temperature with the need to control ASE during the optimization process. But the balance becomes more difficult to achieve with the increase of round-trip loss. We conclude that output power of more than 2.6 MW with a single disk can be achieved, but the necessary disk size (more than 0.5 m) is far beyond the actual technical limits. But it is possible to achieve output power of over a hundred kilowatts using a 10 cm disk in the near future.     

Collective Total Synthesis of Englerin A and B,Orientalol E and F,and Oxyphyllol: Application of the Organocatalytic [4+3] Cycloaddition Reaction

The concise collective total synthesis of englerin A and B, orientalol E and F, and oxyphyllol has been accomplished in 10–15 steps, with the total synthesis of orientalol E and oxyphyllol being achieved for the first time. The success obtained was enabled by the realization of the [4+3] cycloaddition reaction of 9 and 10 . Other features of the synthesis include 1) the intramolecular Heck reaction to access the azulene core, 2) the epoxidation–S_N2′ reduction sequence to access the allylic alcohol, 3) the efficient regioselective and stereoselective formal hydration of the bridging C?C bond in the synthesis of englerins, and 4) the late‐stage chemo‐ and stereoselective C? H oxidation in the synthesis of orientalol E. The total synthesis of these natural products has enabled the structural revision of oxyphyllol and established the absolute stereochemical features of the organocatalytic [4+3] cycloaddition reaction. The identification of 5 as the natural product oxyphyllol, the success in converting 5 to orientalol E, along with the fact that englerins and oxyphyllol were isolated from plants of the same genus Phyllanthus gives support to our proposed biosynthetic pathways. This work may enable detailed biological evaluations of these natural products and their analogues and derivatives, especially of their potential in the fight against renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Effects of Ag–La codoping on structure and electrical properties of BaTiO3 powder

Ag–La codoped BaTiO₃ powders were prepared by sol–gel technology after the preparation of Ag-doped and La-doped BaTiO₃ powders. Variations in the structure, constitution, morphology, and electrical properties of the modified BaTiO₃ powders were characterized. It can be concluded that Ag–La codoping decreases the resistivity of the modified powders more significantly than Ag doping and La doping, respectively. The sample with the lowest resistivity was obtained by codoping with 0.1 at.% Ag and 0.3 at.% La, where the resistivity decreased to 7.13 × 10² Ω m from the value of 4.30 × 10⁹ Ω m of the undoped powder. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analyses indicate that the main phase of the codoped powders transitions from tetragonal to cubic with increasing La doping content. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations illustrate that codoping makes the particles distribute more equably. The relationship between the resistivity and the structure of the doped BaTiO₃ powders is discussed based on defect chemistry.
