Hydrodynamic Properties of Fe3O4 Kerosene-Based Ferrofluids with Narrow Particle Size Distribution

We investigate the hydrodynamic properties of Fe3O4 kerosene-based ferrofluids with narrow particle size distribution. The ferrofluids are synthesized by improving chemical coprecipitation technique. A narrow distribution of 8.6-10.8nm particle sizes is obtained from the magnetization curve with the free-form model based on the Bayesian inference theory. The fitting result is consistent with average particle size obtained from x-ray diffraction. With the increase of applied magnetic field and magnetic particle concentration, apparent viscosity of ferrofluids increases. At concentration 4.04%, the type of flow for the ferrofluid transforms from Newtonian to Bingham plastic fluid as the applied magnetic field increases.     

Rotational Deformation of Neutron Stars

The rotational deformations of two kinds of neutron stars are calculated by using Hartle‘s slow-rotation formulism. The results show that only the faster rotating neutron star gives an obvious deformation. For the slow rotating neutron star with a period larger than hundreds of millisecond, the rotating deformation is very weak.     

相对论平均场理论中各种有效相互作用对中子星性质的影响

基于相对论平均场理论，研究了各种相互作用参数组(NL1、NL3、NLSH、TM1和GL-97)对中子星物质的性质和中子星整体结构的影响．发现参数组NL1、NL3和NLSH所给出的中子星内部的介子场强度、物质的组成比例、物态方程和中子星的整体特点基本相同，但与TM1和GL-97之间有较大的差别．相对于其他参数组，GL-97给出的介子场强度最弱，中子星的相对数密度最大，物态方程也最软，同时采用GL-97参数组计算的中子星的最大质量也最小．     

邮票上的物理学史(65)--天体物理学:恒星及其演化

天体物理学的研究对象,按照其尺度可以分为四个层次:行星和行星系(特别是太阳系)、恒星、星系和宇宙.天文学的历史表明,对每个层次的认识都经历了积累观测资料、归纳经验规律(数学模型)、建立理论体系(物理模型)三个阶段.这个类似三部曲的认识过程在对太阳系的认识中表现得最为典型,三部曲的每一部都有自己的主人公:第谷、开普勒和牛顿.在这个三部曲中,归纳经验规律处于重要地位,它既是观测和资料积累的目的,又是建立模型和理论的起点.下面我们将按照这一线索,介绍我们对另外三个层次的认识和有关的邮票.     

记录媒体用薄膜材料及相关靶材的技术和发展

 信息化时代随着计算机技术的普及来到我们面前,其突出表现是信息总量和信息交换的剧增,因此,发展海量存储技术日趋重要。随着信息及计算机技术的不断发展,对其作为主要工具的记录媒体的需求越来越大,要求越来越高。记录媒体中大多数磁盘、磁光盘、光盘是以相关靶材磁控溅射而成的,因此,为满足信息记录媒体的高密度化、小型化和低价格化,需要对其相关靶材的成分、制造工艺、性能和溅射工艺做进一步研究。目前,随着新材料的开发和记录媒体的发展,磁光盘、光盘用靶材市场在不断增长。尤其近几年CD、VCD、DVD市场的迅速扩大,其相关靶材的前景也日益被看好。

Relativistic Electromagnetic Solitary Wave in a Cylindrical Magnetized Plasma

In the presence of an applied static and uniform magnetic field, a cylindrical Kadomtsev-Petviashivili equation is derived for a relativistic electromagnetic solitary wave propagating in collisionless plasma consisting electrons, positrons, and ions in the case of weak relativistic limit. This equation is solved in a stationary frame to obtain explicit expression for the velocity, amplitude and width of solitons. The amplitude of the solitary wave has a maximum value at a critical αc of the ratio of the ion equilibrium density to the electron one, and it increases as the applied magnetic field becomes larger.
