We discuss a new gravitational effect that the wave packet of a free-fall quantum particle undergoes a spin-dependent transverse shift in Earth's gravitational field. This effect is similar to the geometric spin Hall effect (GSHE) (Aiello 2009 et alPhys. Rev. Lett. 103 100401 ), and can be called gravity-induced GSHE. This effect suggests that the free-fall wave packets of opposite spin-polarized quantum particles can be split in the direction perpendicular to spin and gravity. 相似文献
Based on the free-energy average method, an area-weighted effective potential is derived for rectangular corrugated nano-pore. With the obtained potential, classical density functional theory is employed to investigate the structural and thermodynamic properties of confined Lennard-Jones fluid in rectangular corrugated slit pores. Firstly, influence of pore geometry on the adsorptive potential is calculated and analyzed. Further, thermodynamic properties including excess adsorption, solvation force, surface free energy and thermodynamic response functions are systematically investigated. It is found that pore geometry can largely modulate the structure of the confined fluids, which in turn influences other thermodynamic properties. In addition, the results show that different geometric elements have different influences on the confined fluids. The work provides an effective route to investigate the effect of roughness on confined fluids. It is expected to shed light on further understanding about interfacial phenomena near rough walls, and then provide useful clues for the design and characterization of novel materials. 相似文献
Thermal expansion control is always an obstructive factor and challenging in high precision engineering field. Here,the negative thermal expansion of Nb F_3 and Nb OF_2 was predicted by first-principles calculation with density functional theory and the quasi-harmonic approximation(QHA). We studied the total charge density, thermal vibration, and lattice dynamic to investigate the thermal expansion mechanism. We found that the presence of O induced the relatively strong covalent bond in Nb OF_2, thus weakening the transverse vibration of F and O in Nb OF_2, compared with the case of Nb F_3.In this study, we proposed a way to tailor negative thermal expansion of metal fluorides by introducing the oxygen atoms.The present work not only predicts two NTE compounds, but also provides an insight on thermal expansion control by designing chemical bond type. 相似文献
The main objective of the present numerical analysis is to predict the nonlinear frequency ratios associated with the nonlinear free vibration response of porous composite plates at microscale in the presence of different microstructural gradient tensors. To achieve this end, by taking cubic-type elements into account, isogeometric models of porous composite microplates are obtained with and without a central cutout and relevant to various porosity patterns of distribution along the plate thickness. The established unconventional models have the capability to capture the effects of various unconventional gradient tensors continuity on the basis of a refined shear deformable plate formulation. For the simply supported microsized uniform porous functionally graded material (U-PFGM) plate having the oscillation amplitude equal to the plate thickness, it is revealed that the rotation gradient tensor causes to reduce the frequency ratio about 0.73%, the dilatation gradient tensor causes to reduce it about 1.93%, and the deviatoric stretch gradient tensor leads to a decrease of it about 5.19%. On the other hand, for the clamped microsized U-PFGM plate having the oscillation amplitude equal to the plate thickness, these percentages are equal to 0.62%, 1.64%, and 4.40%, respectively. Accordingly, it is found that by changing the boundary conditions from clamped to simply supported, the effect of microsize on the reduction of frequency ratio decreases a bit.
Utilizing the geometric phase (GP) acquired in a quantum evolution, we manifest the thermality and quantum nature of the Unruh effect of an accelerating detector. We consider an UDW detector coupling to a conformal field in Minkowski spacetime, whose response spectrum exhibits an intermediate statistics of (1+1) anyon field. We find that comparing to an inertial moving detector, the GP in accelerating frame is modified after the nonunitary evolution of the detector due to the Unruh effect. We show that such modification can distinguish the different thermalizing ways of the detector, which depends on the scaling dimension of the conformal primary field. Finally, we estimate the difference between the GP under the Unruh radiation and that in a thermal bath for a static observer, which reveals the quantum origin of the Unruh effect rather than a conventional thermal noise. 相似文献
