大气压等离子体针空气放电产生的低温等离子体由于脱离了真空装置,在工业上具有广泛的应用前景。本文采用等离子体针装置在空气中产生了稳定的大气压等离子体羽,并利用光谱法对等离子体羽的振动温度和气体温度进行了研究。结果发现大气压空气等离子体羽的放电区域分为强光区和弱光区。放电发光信号是宽度为几个微秒的脉冲。研究结果表明等离子体振动温度随空间位置不同在2 500～3 000K范围变化。振动温度在强光区随着远离针尖距离的增大振动温度呈上升趋势,在5mm左右存在极大值,在弱光区随着远离针尖距离的增大振动温度呈下降趋势。与其相似,弱光区放电的气体温度随着远离针尖距离增大,从640K降低到540K。这些结果对大气压空气放电的工业应用具有重要意义。     

Temporal structure of gas temperature fluctuations and ignition of fine particles

The paper studies ignition of fine particles, i.e., irreversible growth of particle temperature from an exothermal heterogeneous reaction, with the rate approximated with the Arrhenius law. The particles are suspended in gas with fluctuating temperature, and heat transfer from the particle surface occurs according to the Newtonian law. The equations take into account the temporal structure of gas temperature fluctuations. Modern methods of functional analysis were applied for deriving a closed equation for the probability density function for the particle temperature distribution. The gas temperature fluctuations lessen the threshold for the particle ignition in the hot gas as compared with the deterministic variant. The equations for probability density function produce a closed system of conjugate equations for the average temperature and dispersion of particle temperature fluctuations. The results of simulation illustrate the phenomenon of self-speeding drift of particle temperature towards the temperature of ignition startup.

垒温对硅衬底GaN基蓝光LED发光效率的影响

用MOCVD技术在硅衬底上生长了GaN基蓝光LED外延材料,研究了有源层多量子阱中垒的生长温度对发光效率的影响,获得了不同电流密度下外量子效率(EQE)随垒温的变化关系。结果表明,在860~915℃范围内,发光效率随着垒温的上升而上升。当垒温超过915℃后,发光效率大幅下降。这一EL特性与X光双晶衍射和二次离子质谱所获得的阱垒界面陡峭程度有明显的对应关系,界面越陡峭则发光效率越高。垒温过高使界面变差的原因归结为阱垒界面的原子扩散。垒温偏低使界面变差的原因归结为垒对前一个量子阱界面的修复作用和为后一个量子阱提供台阶流界面的能力偏弱。外延生长时的最佳垒温范围为895~915℃。     

Silicon-carbide-based extreme environment temperature sensor using wavelength-tuned signal processing

A wavelength-tuned signal-processing approach is proposed for enabling direct unambiguous temperature measurement in a free-space targeted single-crystal silicon carbide (SiC) temperature sensor. The approach simultaneously exploits the 6H SiC fundamental Sellmeier equation-based wavelength-sensitive refractive index change in combination with the classic temperature-dependent refractive index change and the material thermal-expansion path-length change to encode SiC chip temperature with wavelength. Presently, the technique is useful for fast coarse temperature measurement as demonstrated from room temperature to 1000 degrees C using a 10-peak count wavelength-tuned measurement with a 0.31 nm total wavelength change. This coarse technique can be combined with the previously presented two-wavelength signal-processing temperature measurement approach to simultaneously deliver a wide temperature range and a high-resolution temperature sensor. Applications for the sensor range from power plants to materials processing facilities.

Anomalous temperature dependence of the dephasing time in mesoscopic kondo wires

We present measurements of the magnetoconductance of long and narrow quasi-one-dimensional gold wires containing magnetic iron impurities in a temperature range extending from 15 mK to 4.2 K. The dephasing rate extracted from the weak antilocalization shows a pronounced plateau in a temperature region of 300-800 mK, associated with the phase breaking due to the Kondo effect. Below the Kondo temperature, the dephasing rate decreases linearly with temperature, in contradiction with standard Fermi-liquid theory. Our data suggest that the formation of a spin glass due to the interactions between the magnetic moments is responsible for the observed anomalous temperature dependence.     

Atmospheric variations in muon intensity for different zenith angles

The barometric and temperature coefficients of muon intensity for a layer of variable mass and the temperature coefficients for mass-weighted mean atmospheric temperature are found by regressions analysis from the results of continuous measurements of muon intensity at different zenith angles and atmospheric parameters. The temperature coefficients of muon intensity are determined for different atmospheric layers. Using the characteristics obtained, the changes in temperature are found for different atmospheric layers from the data on variations in muon intensity. The results obtained are compared with the observed temperature changes.

Thermodynamics of chromomagnetism

The thermodynamics of a system of gluons interacting with a constant color magnetic field is investigated. There is a first-order phase transition from a magnetic state at low temperature to a non-magnetic state at high temperature. The transition temperature corresponds closely to the critical temperatures obtained in a perturbative expansion, in the finite temperature dilute instanton gas approximation, and in the MIT bag model. The free energy of a heavy quark-antiquark pair increases linearly with distance below the transition temperature but decreases coulombically above it.     

Experimental study on electrical resistivity measurement of a specimen at high temperature

A new technique is developed to measure the electrical resistivity of conductor with a nonuniform tem- perature profile. The calculation method is derived from the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity. The apparatus consists mainly of a high temperature environmental chamber, a power circuit of heating, a twenty-wavelength pyrometer, and a scanning pyrometer. After getting the resistance from the voltage drop of the specimen, the electrical resistivity in a wide temperature range of the specimen can be obtained by our calculation model. Preliminary results of the electrical resistivity of SRM 8424 over a wide temperature range （1000-3000 K） are presented. The perfect consistency between the measurement results and the nominal values justifies the validity of this technique.     

Heat source reconstruction from noisy temperature fields using an optimised derivative Gaussian filter

The aim of this paper is to present a post-processing technique based on a derivative Gaussian filter to reconstruct heat source fields from temperature fields measured by infrared thermography. Heat sources can be deduced from temperature variations thanks to the heat diffusion equation. Filtering and differentiating are key-issues which are closely related here because the temperature fields which are processed are unavoidably noisy. We focus here only on the diffusion term because it is the most difficult term to estimate in the procedure, the reason being that it involves spatial second derivatives (a Laplacian for isotropic materials). This quantity can be reasonably estimated using a convolution of the temperature variation fields with second derivatives of a Gaussian function. The study is first based on synthetic temperature variation fields corrupted by added noise. The filter is optimised in order to reconstruct at best the heat source fields. The influence of both the dimension and the level of a localised heat source is discussed. Obtained results are also compared with another type of processing based on an averaging filter. The second part of this study presents an application to experimental temperature fields measured with an infrared camera on a thin plate in aluminium alloy. Heat sources are generated with an electric heating patch glued on the specimen surface. Heat source fields reconstructed from measured temperature fields are compared with the imposed heat sources. Obtained results illustrate the relevancy of the derivative Gaussian filter to reliably extract heat sources from noisy temperature fields for the experimental thermomechanics of materials.     

Ultrasonic sensing of a plasmoid

An atmospheric plasmoid that is obtained in a discharge above the water surface has been known since 2000 and studied in several laboratories. The main parameters, in particular, the gas temperature, must be measured for interpretation of this phenomenon. The temperature measurements are complicated, since the plasmoid ascends in air and can be detected by sensors at a relatively short time interval. A method for the ultrasonic sensing of a plasmoid is developed. A scheme of the setup for the ultrasonic sensing is presented and a procedure is described. The speed of sound in a gas is one-to-one related to the gas temperature. The plasmoid temperature is calculated using the speed of ultrasound on the assumption that the plasmoid is formed from water vapor. In accordance with the experimental results, the plasmoid temperature decreases from 2800 to 600–700 K over a lifetime of 500 ms. A decrease in the temperature results from heat emission and mixing with surrounding air.     

Spectral emissivity modeling of steel 201 during the growth of oxidation film over the temperature range from 800 to 1100 K in air

This study explores the spectral emissivity modeling of steel 201 during the growth of oxidation film over the temperature range from 800 to 1100 K at 1.5 μm. The radiance coming from the specimen is received by an InGaAs photodiode detector. The specimen temperature is obtained by averaging the two platinum–rhodium thermocouples, which are tightly welded in the front surface of specimen near the measuring area viewed by the detector. The variation of spectral emissivity with the temperature is studied at a given heating time. The variation of spectral emissivity with the heating time is evaluated at a definite temperature. The strong oscillations of spectral emissivity are observed and discussed in detail, which originate from the interference effect between the radiation stemming from the oxidization film on the specimen surface and the radiation coming from the specimen surface. The measurement uncertainties of spectral emissivity contributed only by the surface oxidization are about 3.2–14.1%. At a given heating time, the variation of spectral emissivity with the temperature abides well by a simple analytic functional form. And at a definite temperature, the variation of spectral emissivity with the heating time can also be well reproduced by fitting except for the periodical oscillations.     

Temperature dependence of positron parameters in voids and loops in Mo

The temperature dependence of positron lifetime parameters has been measured in the temperature interval from ?196°C to 300°C for two Mo samples containing voids? and loops. Both samples show an increased intensity of positrons annihilating in voids with increasing temperature. Strongly temperature dependent trapping into a loop bound defect is consistent with the experimental observations. It is shown that this trapping rate then decreases by approximately a factor 3 in the temperature range from ?196°C to 300°C. On basis of experimental data it can be ruled out that detrapping takes place from this defect.     

Thermal properties of single-walled carbon nanotube crystal

In this work, the thermal properties of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) crystal are studied. The thermal conductivity of the SWCNT crystal is found to have a linear dependence on temperature in the temperature range from 1.9 K to 100.0 K. In addition, a peak (658 W/mK) is found at a temperature of about 100.0 K. The thermal conductivity decreases gradually to a value of 480 W/mK and keeps almost a constant in the temperature range from 100.0 K to 300.0 K. Meanwhile, the specific heat shows an obvious linear relationship with temperature in the temperature range from 1.9 K to 300.0 K. We discuss the possible mechanisms for these unique thermal properties of the single-walled carbon nanotube crystal.

Thermally enhanced neutralization in hyperthermal energy ion scattering

Neutralization probabilities are presented for hyperthermal energy Na+ ions scattered from a Cu(001) crystal as a function of surface temperature and scattered velocity. A large enhancement in neutralization is observed as the temperature is increased. Velocity-dependent charge transfer regimes are probed by varying the incident energy, with the most prominent surface temperature effects occurring at the lowest energies. The data agree well with results obtained from a model based on the Newns-Anderson Hamiltonian, where the effects of both temperature and velocity are incorporated.     

Coercive field vs. temperature in Fe/Ag nanogranular films

We investigate the temperature dependence of the coercive field of a nanogranular co-sputtered Fe/Ag film. The sample is superparamagnetic at room temperature and displays a 3% giant magnetoresistance. As temperature decreases from 40 to 9 K, hysteresis appears in magnetization loops. The coercive field dependence on temperature turns out to be different from the power law expected for single-domain monodispersed ferromagnetic particle ensembles. The results are analyzed in terms of a model taking into account the effect of magnetic grain size distribution on coercive field. The agreement between experiment and the model is excellent. The possibility to gain information concerning width and symmetry of the particles volume distribution from the study of coercivity's scaling with temperature is discussed.
