Porosity formation and gas bubble retention in laser metal deposition

One of the inherent problems associated with laser metal deposition using gas-assisted powder transfer is the formation of porosity, which can be detrimental to the mechanical properties of the bulk material. In this work, a comprehensive investigation of porosity is carried out using gas atomised Inconel 718 powder. In the analysis, a clear distinction is made between two types of porosity; namely lack of fusion and gas porosity. The results show that the two types of porosity are attributed by different factors. The gas porosity, which is more difficult to eliminate than the lack of fusion, can be as high as 0.7%. The study shows that the gas porosity is dependent on the process parameters and the melt pool dynamics. The flotation of entrapped gas bubbles was analysed, showing that in a stationary melt pool the gas would be retained by Marangoni-driven flow. The overall Marangoni-driven flow of the melt pool is in the order of five times higher than the flotation effect, and this is the reason why the melt pool geometry would tend to dominate the flow direction of the gas bubbles. Through optimisation, the gas porosity can be reduced to 0.037%.     

Maxwell's Demon and detailed balancing

A particle of molecular dimensions which can exist in two states is associated with a membrane pore through which molecules of a gas can pass. The gas molecules from two identical phases on either side of the membrane may pass only when the particle is in one particular state. If certain restrictions are imposed on the system, then the particle appears to act like a Maxwell's Demon⁽¹⁾ which “handles” the gas molecules during their passage through the pore.

Dissolved gas and ultrasonic cavitation – A review

The physics and chemistry of nonlinearly oscillating acoustic cavitation bubbles are strongly influenced by the dissolved gas in the surrounding liquid. Changing the gas alters among others the luminescence spectrum, and the radical production of the collapsing bubbles. An overview of experiments with various gas types and concentration described in literature is given and is compared to mechanisms that lead to the observed changes in luminescence spectra and radical production. The dissolved gas type changes the bubble adiabatic ratio, thermal conductivity, and the liquid surface tension, and consequently the hot spot temperature. The gas can also participate in chemical reactions, which can enhance radical production or luminescence of a cavitation bubble. With this knowledge, the gas content in cavitation can be tailored to obtain the desired output.     

A nanoscale gas state

We show that a very thin (5-80 nm) gas phase can exist for a long time (>1 h) at the interface between a hydrophobic solid and water. We create the gas phase from CO2, which allows us to determine the chemical identity, phase state, and density via infrared spectroscopy. The average density reveals that the gas is at approximately atmospheric pressure, which explains the unexpectedly long lifetime of the gas phase under ambient conditions. The nanoscale gas phase is reproducibly created under conditions where gas solubility is varied.

连续泵浦准分子宽带泵浦碱金属激光器泵浦阈值理论研究

基于四能级受激准分子宽带泵浦碱金属激光器（XPAL）的工作机理建立了连续波半导体激光器泵浦的四能级XPAL理论模型,该模型基于速率方程,考虑泵浦光线宽与伴峰吸收线宽,采用迭代算法求解,主要用于分析半导体激光器连续泵浦四能级XPAL系统的泵浦阈值特性。讨论了温度、蒸气室长度、泵浦光线宽、输出耦合率和惰性气体粒子数密度对泵浦阈值的影响,结果表明激光器存在一个最佳温度可以使泵浦阈值达到最小,且在最佳温度附近较大范围内泵浦阈值不会有较大变化。除此之外,对蒸气室长度、输出耦合率、泵浦光线宽和惰性气体粒子数密度的分析表明,相较于惰性气体粒子数密度,其他参数的变化对泵浦阈值的影响较小。而较高的惰性气体粒子数密度可以有效提升增益介质对泵浦光的吸收从而降低阈值。     

Emergence of Heavy-Tailed Distributions in a Random Multiplicative Model Driven by a Gaussian Stochastic Process

We consider a random multiplicative stochastic process with multipliers given by the exponential of a Brownian motion. The positive integer moments of the distribution function can be computed exactly, and can be represented as the grand partition function of an equivalent lattice gas with attractive 2-body interactions. The numerical results for the positive integer moments display a sharp transition at a critical value of the model parameters, which corresponds to a phase transition in the equivalent lattice gas model. The shape of the terminal distribution changes suddenly at the critical point to a heavy-tailed distribution. The transition can be related to the position of the complex zeros of the grand partition function of the lattice gas, in analogy with the Lee, Yang picture of phase transitions in statistical mechanics. We study the properties of the equivalent lattice gas in the thermodynamical limit, which corresponds to the continuous time limit of the random multiplicative model, and derive the asymptotics of the approach to the continuous time limit. The results can be generalized to a wider class of random multiplicative processes, driven by the exponential of a Gaussian stochastic process.

Director-configurational transitions around microbubbles of hydrostatically regulated size in liquid crystals

A high-pressure technique is introduced which allows a continuous variation of the inclusion size in liquid crystal colloids. We use a nematic liquid crystal host into which micrometer-sized gas bubbles are injected. By applying hydrostatic pressures, the diameter of these gas bubbles can be continuously decreased via compression and absorption of gas into the host liquid crystal, so that the director configurations around a single bubble can be investigated as a function of the bubble size. The theoretically predicted transition from a hyperbolic hedgehog to a Saturn-ring configuration, on reduction of the particle size below a certain threshold, is confirmed to occur at the radius of a few micrometers.

Dependence of characteristics of helium ion diffusion and drift in own gas on its temperature

The gas discharge at a lower atom temperature has a number of features which can appear in experiments with dusty plasma. At cryogenic temperatures of gas-discharge tube walls, strong anisotropy of the velocity distribution function of ions takes place, which, in turn, can cause a significant change in dust structure properties. In this study, the dependences of helium ion drift characteristics in a dc uniform electric field on the temperature of own gas atoms are analyzed.

Rotational and vibrational temperatures in a 77 K collisionally cooled cell

The rotational and vibrational temperatures of CH₃F and SO₂ in a collisionally cooled cell have been investigated. This cell, which uses liquid nitrogen as the cryogen and has an injector whose temperature can be varied between 200 and 1300 K, is a variant of liquid helium based systems which we have previously described. The work reported in this paper shows that the rotational temperature is equal to that of the buffer gas, which in turn is variable from 77 K up to the trapping temperature of the spectroscopically active gas by adjustment of the wall temperature of the cell. The vibrational temperature is determined by the vibrational temperature with which the gas is injected, the number of collisions with the buffer gas, and the vibrational deactivation probability of these collisions. Thus, it is shown that the vibrational and rotational temperatures of spectroscopic samples can be separately adjusted over a wide range of temperature with a very simple experimental device. Applications are discussed.

An insight to the nonextensive parameter in the actual gas

The ideal gas has been reinvestigated in the framework of Tsallis nonextensive statistics, which can be called nonextensive gas. According to the modified thermodynamic relationships, and applying the nonextensive gas model to analyze actual gas, the relationship between the nonextensive parameter and the second virial coefficient can be deduced. On the other hand, this coefficient can also be expressed as the integration of interaction potential between the molecules of actual gas. This indicates that the nonextensive parameter may be related to the interaction potential. Our further analysis to the relation seems to imply that the nonextensive parameter is irrelevant to the thermodynamic temperature of the gas.

Fermion-fermion interaction in a dilute gas-mixture Bose condensate

A mixture of a one-component Bose gas and two-component Fermi gas is considered at temperatures at which the Bose gas is completely condensed. Two fermions in such a mixture can interact with each other exchanging bosons from the condensate or supercondensate. The interaction potential, a change in the effective mass, the decay, and fermion spectrum are calculated in this quantum Fermi-Bose mixture.
