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...

Electric Conductivity of Phosphorus Nanowires

We present the structures and electrical transport properties of nanowires made from different strands of phosphorus chains encapsulated in carbon nanotubes. Optimized by density function theory, our results indicate that the conductance spectra reveal an oscillation dependence on the size of wires. It can be seen from the density of states and current-voltage curves that the structure of nanowires affects their properties greatly. Among them, the DNA-like double-helical phosphorus nanowire exhibits the distinct characteristic of an approximately linear I - V relationship and has a higher conductance than others. The transport properties of phosphorus nanowires are highly correlated with their microstructures.     

Comparative Evaluation of Thermal Conductivity of Zirconia Solid and Honeycomb Structures

Porous zirconia ceramic monoliths have been extensively used in thermo-structural applications due to their inherent low thermal conductivity in combination with their adaptability to form complicated shapes through advanced ceramic processing techniques. However, extruded cellular honeycomb structures made from these materials have been less explored for thermal management applications. There exist large potential applications due to their unique configurations, resulting in better heat-management mechanisms. Some of the studies carried out on zirconia honeycombs are safeguarded through patents due to its technical importance, or the information is not in the public domain. In the present study, for the sake of comparison, honeycomb specimens with varying wall thicknesses and unit cell lengths maintaining almost same bulk density of around 90% theoretical and relative density of 0.34–0.37 were prepared and subjected to thermal conductivity evaluation along with the solid samples with relative density of 1.0 using monotonic heating regime methodology. In addition, the effect of channel shape was also evaluated using square and triangular channeled honeycombs with the same relative densities. The results obtained from these specimens were correlated with their configurations to bring out the advantages accrued by using the honeycomb with these configurations. It was observed that a significant decrease in thermal conductivity was achieved in honeycombs, which can be attributed to the behavior of various heat transfer mechanisms that are operative at high temperatures in combination with the considerable reduction in thermal mass and the consequent conduction through the solids.

Y掺杂Si纳米线的光致发光特性

以n型单晶Si(111)为衬底,利用Au作为催化剂,在温度、N₂流量和生长时间分别为1 100 ℃,1.5 L·min-1和60 min的条件下,基于固-液-固生长机制,生长了直径为60～80 nm、长度为数十微米的高密度Si纳米线。随后,以Y₂O₃粉末为掺杂源,采用高温扩散方法对Si纳米线进行了钇(Y)掺杂。利用扫描电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪和荧光分光光度计对不同掺杂温度(900～1 200 ℃)、掺杂时间(15～60 min)和N₂流量(0～400 sccm)等工艺条件下制备的Y掺杂Si纳米线的形貌、成分、结晶取向以及激发光谱和发射光谱特性进行了详细的测量和表征。结果表明,在掺杂温度为1 100 ℃,N₂流量为200 sccm、掺杂时间为30 min和激发波长为214 nm时,Y掺杂Si纳米线样品表现出较好的发光特性。样品分别在470～500和560～600 nm范围内出现了两条发光谱带。560～600 nm的发光带由两个发光峰组成,峰位分别为573.6和583.8 nm,通过结构分析可以推测,这两个发光峰是由Y3+在Si纳米线的带隙中引入的杂质能级引起的。而470～500 nm较宽的发光带同样来源于Y离子在Si纳米线带隙中引入的与非晶SiO_x壳层中氧空位能级十分接近的杂质能级。     

Pressure Tuning of Magnetism and Drastic Increment of Thermal Conductivity under Applied Magnetic Field in HgCr_2S_4

HgCr_2S_4 is a typical compound manifesting competing ferromagnetic(FM) and antiferromagnetic(AFM) exchanges as well as strong spin-lattice coupling.Here we study these effects by intentionally choosing a combination of magnetization under external hydrostatic pressure and thermal conductivity at various magnetic fields.Upon applying pressure up to 10 kbar at 1kOe,while the magnitude of magnetization reduces progressively,the AFM ordering temperature T_N enhances concomitantly at a rate of about 1.5K/kbar.Strikingly,at 10 kOe the field polarized FM state is found to be driven readily back to an AFM one even at only 5 kbar.In addition,the thermal conductivity exhibits drastic increments at various fields in the temperature range with strong spin fluctuations,reaching about 30% at 50 kOe.Consequently,the results give new experimental evidence of spin-lattice coupling.Apart from the colossal magnetocapacitance and colossal magnetoresistance reported previously,the findings here may enable new promising functionalities for potential applications.

硅纳米线拉曼光谱的研究

声子限制效应会引起本征硅纳米线拉曼光谱红移及不对称宽化,但研究发现其并非引起硅纳米线拉曼光谱改变的主要因素。研究表明,由于在拉曼光谱测量中,通常使用的入射激光功率都在5 mW以上,激光加热会导致很高的局部温度,从而引起拉曼光谱大幅度红移并对称宽化,这是硅纳米线拉曼光谱红移的主要影响因素。另外,激光功率很高时,由激光激发的载流子会与声子发生Fano型干涉,从而使硅纳米线拉曼光谱发生Fano型红移和不对称宽化。除此之外,对小直径本征硅纳米线,声子限制效应导致波矢选择定弛则弛豫,使不在布里渊区中心的声子也可以参与拉曼散射,因而其拉曼光谱中除常见的几个拉曼峰外还会出现新拉曼峰。

Synthesis and PL Properties of ZnSe Nanowires with Zincblende and Wurtzite Structures

Single crystalline ZnSe nanowires with both zincblende and wurtzite structures have been synthesized via a chemical vapour deposition method under different growth conditions. The nanowires are usually 50-80nm in diameter, and several tens of microns in length. Room-temperature photoluminescence spectra from zincblende and wurtzite ZnSe nanowires show a broad luminescence band peaked at around 2. 71 e V and a deep level emission band peaked at around 2.00 eV, respectively. Effects of post-growth annealing on the photoluminescence of these nanowires have been investigated. Strong room-temperature band-edge emission could be obtained from the annealed zincblende ZnSe nanowires.     

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.     

Electrical Conductivity and Current--Voltage Characteristics of Individual Conducting Polymer PEDOT Nanowires

We report the current-voltage （Ⅰ-Ⅴ） characteristics and electrical conductivity of individual template-synthesized poly（3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene） （PEDOT） nanowires （190 ± 6 nm in diameter and δRT = 11.2 ± 2Ω^-1 cm^-1） over a wide temperature range from 300 to 10K. With lowering temperature, the Ⅰ - Ⅴ characteristics become nonlinear around 50K, and a clear Coulomb gap-like structure appears in the differential conductance （dI/dV） spectra. The temperature dependence of the resistance below 70 K follows In R α T^-1/2, which can be interpreted as Efros-Shklovskii hopping conduction in the presence of a Coulomb gap. In addition, the influences of measurement methods such as the applied bias voltage magnitude, the two-probe and four-probe techniques used in the resistance measurements are also reported and discussed.     

未钝化和H钝化GaN纳米线的电子结构

用密度泛函理论研究直径为9.5Å,15.9Å和22.5Å,未钝化和H钝化GaN纳米线的能带和态密度.结果表明:未钝化和H钝化GaN纳米线的能隙都是直接带隙,未钝化GaN纳米线的禁带宽度随着直径的增加减小,但是变化不明显,H钝化GaN纳米线的禁带宽度随着直径增大也是减小的,但是减小的幅度比未钝化的大.未钝化GaN纳米线表面N原子的2p电子主要聚集在价带顶,表面Ga原子的4p电子主要聚集在导带底,这两种电子都具有很强的局域性,而且决定着能隙值;加H钝化可以消除表面原子产生的表面效应.

Mode Structures and Damping of Quantized Spin Waves in Ferromagnetic Nanowires

Magnonic devices based on spin waves are considered as a new generation of energy-efficient and high-speed devices for storage and processing of information. Here we experimentally demonstrate that three distinct dominated magneto-dynamic modes are excited simultaneously and coexist in a transversely magnetized ferromagnetic wire by the ferromagnetic resonance(FMR) technique. Besides the uniform FMR mode, the spin-wave well mode, the backward volume magnetostatic spin-wave mode, and the perpendi...     

Effect of Clusters on Thermal Conductivity in Nanofluids

We propose a new model for the effective thermal conductivities of nanottuids, which is derived from the fact that nanoparticles and clusters coexist in the fluids. The effects of the compactness and the perfectness of the contact between nanoparticles in clusters on the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids are analysed. The proposed model indicates that the effective thermal conductivity of nanofluids decreases with the increasing concentration of clusters. The model predictions are compared with and are in good agreement with the available experimental data.

Thermal Conductivity of Carbon Nanotubes Embedded in Solids

A carbon-nanotube-atom fixed and activated scheme of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations is put forward to extract the thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes （CNTs） embedded in solid argon. Though a 6.5% volume fraction of CNTs increases the composite thermal conductivity to about twice as much as that of the pure basal material, the thermal conductivity of CNTs embedded in solids is found to be decreased by 1/8-1/5 with reference to that of pure ones. The decrease of the intrinsic thermal conductivity of the solid-embedded CNTs and the thermal interface resistance are demonstrated to be responsible for the results.
