Enhanced Thermal Invisibility Effect in an Isotropic Thermal Cloak with Bulk Materials

A thermal cloak is well known for hiding objects from thermal signature. A bilayer thermal cloak made from inner insulation layer and outer isotropic homogeneous layer could realize such thermal protection. However, its thermal protection performance can be suppressed for low-thermal-conductivity surrounding media. We propose a tri-layer thermal cloak model by adding a transition layer between the insulation layer and the outer layer.Numerical simulations and theoretical analysis show that, unde...     

Autonomously Tuning Multilayer Thermal Cloak with Variable Thermal Conductivity Based on Thermal Triggered Dual Phase-Transition Metamaterial

Thermal cloaks offer the potential to conceal internal objects from detection or to prevent thermal shock by controlling external heat flow. However, most conventional natural materials lack the desired flexibility and versatility required for on-demand thermal manipulation. We propose a solution in the form of homogeneous multilayer thermodynamic cloaks. Through an ingenious design, these cloaks achieve exceptional and extreme parameters, enabling the distribution of multiple materials in space...

Thermal Conductivity of Periodic Composite Media with Spherical Inclusions

The thermal conductivity of periodic composite media with spherical inclusions embedded in a homogeneous matrix is discussed. Using Green's function, we show that the Rayleigh identity can be generalized to deal with the thermal properties of these systems. A technique for calculating effective thermal conductivities is proposed. Systems with cubic symmetries (including simple cubic, body centered cubic and face centered cubic symmetry) are investigpted in detail, and useful formulae for evaluating effective thermal conductivities are derived.

Ellipsoidal harmonics and their application in electrostatics

Ellipsoidal functions and ellipsoidal co-ordinates, naturally adapted to the treatment of potential problems involving ellipsoidal boundaries, are due to a relatively complicated mathematical appearance avoided in the majority of textbooks on electromagnetism, leading to an unjustified ignorance of the whole system. The paper at hand is devoted to showing that the system is worthwhile using and investigating. By first recollecting the key results of the co-ordinate system and the related potential functions, including the indispensable orthogonality result and the reciprocal distance formula, basic potential problems of electrostatics are reviewed. Closed-form expressions are thereupon derived for the induced charge and its centroid in the case of a point charge influencing a grounded ellipsoid. An image source interpretation, generalising the image solution for a sphere, follows easily from these expressions, as well as an approximate expression for the mutual capacitance between two ellipsoids or a parallel disk capacitor. An expression is also given for the total polarisation induced in a dielectric ellipsoid by the influence of a point dipole.     

Jacobi,Ellipsoidal Coordinates and Superintegrable Systems

Abstract

We describe Jacobi’s method for integrating the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and his discovery of elliptic coordinates, the generic separable coordinate systems for real and complex constant curvature spaces. This work was an essential precursor for the modern theory of second-order superintegrable systems to which we then turn. A Schrödinger operator with potential on a Riemannian space is second-order superintegrable if there are 2n ? 1 (classically) functionally independent second-order symmetry operators. (The 2n ? 1 is the maximum possible number of such symmetries.) These systems are of considerable interest in the theory of special functions because they are multiseparable, i.e., variables separate in several coordinate sets and are explicitly solvable in terms of special functions. The interrelationships between separable solutions provides much additional information about the systems. We give an example of a superintegrable system and then present very recent results exhibiting the general structure of superintegrable systems in all real or complex two-dimensional spaces and three-dimensional conformally flat spaces and a complete list of such spaces and potentials in two dimensions.

On the Thermal Property of Arbitrarily Accelerating Charged Black Hole with a New Tortoise Coordinate Transformation

After a new tortoise coordinate transformation is adopted, the entropy and non-thermal radiation of an arbitrarily accelerating charged black hole are discussed as an example of non-stationary black holes. The same cut-off relation is chosen as static case, which is independent of space-time, and then the entropy of the non-stationary black hole is also proportional to the area of its event horizon. Meanwhile, the crossing of the particle energy levels near the event horizon is studied, the representative of the maximum value of the crossing energy levels is the same as the usual tortoise coordinate transformation.     

MAS, STMAS and DQMAS NMR Studies of the Thermal Transformation of Kaolinite

Thermal transformations of kaolinite at different temperatures were monitored using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (800 MHz for ¹H Larmor frequency) with single-pulse magic-angle spinning, double-quantum filter satellite-transition magic-angle spinning, and double-quantum homo-nuclear correlation under magic-angle spinning experiments. Results show that combined experiments clearly manifest the transitions of silicon and aluminum structures at different thermal treatment stages; and moreover, high magnetic field offers higher sensitivity and resolution, hereby the slim resonances are obtained successfully at less stringent conditions. The dehydroxylation process of kaolinite causes the presence of short-range order in metakaolinite, which is absence of XRD reflections. Particularly, the features of metakaolinite with high concentration of defects are found with dispersive aluminum coordinations; and further, the distorted tetrahedral aluminum is detected in kaolinite-derived mullite because of the locally disorganized structure. The framework structure of kaolinite-derived mullite is considered to be primarily formed by the tetrahedral aluminum bonding with octahedral aluminum. In addition, except for the primary limitation caused by potentially long relaxation time of sample, such approaches are applicable to obtain detailedly structural characteristics of aluminosilicate.
