Integral curvature bounds and diameter estimates on Finsler manifolds

In this paper, we study the integrals of the Ricci curvature over metric balls in a Finsler manifold,which can be viewed as an L~q-norm of the Ricci curvature. By bounding such integrals from above, we obtain several Myers type theorems.     

Electron energy spectrum in the field-ionized plasma

In this article, the effect of ionization on the energy spectrum of electrons within the interaction of a laser pulse with hydrogen atoms is investigated using particle-in-cell simulation codes. The results show that the behaviour of electrons' energy distribution function in the field-ionized plasma, which occurred due to the field ionization, compared with that in the pre-plasma strongly depends on the pulse shape. For short rise-time pulses (here 30 fs), due to the rapid enhancement of laser electric field, ionization occurs quickly, and as a result, there is not much difference in the electron energy in both the media. However, for pulses with rise time of 40 fs, in the pre-plasma state, the electron population reaches higher energies compared with the field-ionized plasma state. The main reason for this difference is the nonlinear wave breaking that happens earlier due to density inhomogeneity in the field-ionized plasma. On the other hand, at longer rise-time pulses (here 60 and 70 fs), electrons achieve higher energies in the field-ionized plasma than those in the case of pre-plasma. In this case, because of density fluctuations in the field-ionized plasma, the Raman backscattered radiations are seeded by a strong initial noise at the earlier times and the Mendonca condition for chaos threshold is met sooner. Therefore, the electrons gain more energy through the stochastic mechanism that is in agreement with chaotic nature of the motion.     

密度泛函理论方法研究填料表面对聚合物摩擦化学的影响

采用超声分散法制备出氧化铝、高岭土、氧化硅/聚四氟乙烯复合材料, 使用线性往复摩擦磨损试验机对比三种复合材料的摩擦学性能. 结果表明 质量分数10%的氧化铝、高岭土能将聚四氟乙烯的磨损率降低约4个数量级, 而氧化硅仅能降低约3个数量级. 对金属对偶表面形成的转移膜的形貌和化学成分进行分析发现 氧化铝、高岭土/聚四氟乙烯在金属对偶面上形成了高度羧酸盐化的转移膜. 用密度泛函理论对三种填料表面上碳氟分子吸附过程进行模拟, 结果显示氧化铝、高岭土表面的路易斯酸性位点促进了碳氟分子的脱氟过程, 产生了更多的羧酸螯合物的中间产物; 氧化硅缺少路易斯酸性位点, 因此不能促进高度羧酸盐化的转移膜形成.
