晶界对纳米多晶铝中冲击波阵面结构影响的分子动力学研究

用分子动力学方法研究了纳米多晶铝在冲击加载下的冲击波阵面结构及塑性变形机理.模拟研究结果表明:在弹性先驱波之后,是晶界间滑移和变形主导了前期的塑性变形机理;然后是不全位错在界面上成核和向晶粒内传播,然后在晶粒内形成堆垛层错、孪晶和全位错的过程主导了后期的塑性变形机理.冲击波阵面扫过之后留下的结构特征是堆垛层错和孪晶留在晶粒内,大部分全位错则湮灭于对面晶界.这个由两阶段塑性变形过程导致的时序性塑性波阵面结构是过去未见报道过的. 关键词： 晶界 塑性变形 冲击波阵面 分子动力学

难熔金属钒熔化行为的局域原子结构模拟与分析

采用经典分子动力学(molecular dynamics,MD)方法,模拟了16000个钒原子在5种不同熔化速率(γ₁=1×1011 K/s,γ₂=1×1012 K/s,γ₃=1×1013 K/s,γ₄=1×10¹⁴ K/s与γ₅=1×10¹⁵ K/s)下原子结构的熔化行为.结果表明:不同熔化速率对难熔金属钒的熔点影响明显,不过随着温度升高,体系特征原子结构诸如体心立方(BCC)、六角密堆(HCP)、面心立方(FCC)、简单立方(SC)以及二十面体(ICO)的相对分布次序并不随熔化速率的改变而改变,温度仍然是影响原子结构分布的主要因素.通过从头算分子动力学(ab initio MD)与热力学分析发现,ICO能够在液态金属区域稳定存在,一方面是因为其孤立团簇的相对稳定性和团簇寿命要优于晶体型原子团簇,另一方面是因为其拥有相对较高的团簇熵与相对较低的自由能.

Internal friction in Al bicrystals with ⟨111⟩ tilt and twist grain boundaries

Internal friction measurements were performed on various ?111? tilt and twist grain boundaries in high-purity Al bicrystals. The temperature dependence of the grain boundary internal friction peak was determined, and the activation parameters of grain boundary relaxation were obtained. These parameters were found to change in a wide range depending on boundary geometry. The activation enthalpy of boundary relaxation and the pre-exponential factor of the relaxation time are related according to the compensation effect. The results are discussed in terms of the model of correlated relaxations. Bicrystals with vicinal Σ3 boundaries were observed to behave like single crystals, i.e. an internal friction peak did not appear. This evidences that both coherent and incoherent (60° ?111? tilt) twins possess a high mechanical resistance.     

Grain-boundary faceting at a = 3, [110]/{112} grain boundary in a cubic zirconia bicrystal

The atomic structure of a = 3, [110]/{112} grain boundary in a yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia bicrystal has been investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It was found that the grain boundary migrated to form periodic facets, although the bicrystal was initially joined so as to have the symmetric boundary plane of {112}. The faceted boundary planes were indexed as {111}/{115}. The structure of the {111}/{115} grain boundary was composed of an alternate array of two types of structure unit: {112}- and {111}-type structure units. HRTEM observations combined with lattice statics calculations verified that both crystals were relatively shifted by (α/4)[110] along the rotation axis to form a stable grain-boundary structure. A weak-beam dark-field image revealed that there was a periodic array of dislocations along the grain boundary. The grain-boundary dislocations were considered to be introduced by the slight misorientation from the perfect = 3 orientation. The fact that the periodicity of the facets corresponded to that of the grain-boundary dislocations must indicate that the introduction of the grain-boundary dislocations is closely related to the periodicity of the facets. An atomic flipping model has been proposed for the facet growth from the initial = 3, {112} grain boundary.     

Perfect Single Qubit Mirroring Effects on Two and Three Maximally Entangled Qubits

Perfect quantum state mirroring in a chain of N spins is defined as the condition in which the state |iof the chain is swapped into the state |N-i within a time evolution interval τ.Such a phenomenon is an interesting way of transfering entanglement.An expressions for the perfect mirroring of a single qubit contained in a spin chain were proposed in the past.We exploit such an expressions for calculating the evolution times in chains of both two and three spins.In the case of a chain of two qubits,we derive conditions under which the associated four Bell states diagonalize the Hamiltonian.It is found that for the two Bell states |Φ+and|Φ-,perfect mirroring does not occur(i.e.entanglement is not preserved under swapping).On the other hand,perfect single qubit mirror effect(entanglement preservation) indeed occurs for the other two Bell states |Ψ+and|Ψ- which are mapped into |Φ+and|Φ-respectively.For the case of a chain of three qubits,the effects of a perfect single qubit mirroring on a set of four maximally entangled three qubit states ψ1,ψ2,χ1,and χ2 are studied.Due to the fact that quantum mirroring preserves maximal entanglement,the states ψ1 and ψ2 are not altered.However,quantum mirroring changes the states χ1 and χ2 only if we apply perfect quantum state mirroring in the site a=1 of the three qubits spin chain.The above constrains the preservation of maximal entanglement under qubit mirroring of such a state.Due to the fact that swapping has already been experimentally tested,a posible experimental implementations of single qubit mirroring is possible.     

Asymmetric tilt grain boundary structure and energy in copper and aluminium

Atomistic simulations were employed to investigate the structure and energy of asymmetric tilt grain boundaries in Cu and Al. In this work, we examine the Σ5 and Σ13 systems with a boundary plane rotated about the ? 100 ? misorientation axis, and the Σ9 and Σ11 systems rotated about the ? 110 ? misorientation axis. Asymmetric tilt grain boundary energies are calculated as a function of inclination angle and compared with an energy relationship based on faceting into the two symmetric tilt grain boundaries in each system. We find that asymmetric tilt boundaries with low index normals do not necessarily have lower energies than boundaries with similar inclination angles, contrary to previous studies. Further analysis of grain boundary structures provides insight into the asymmetric tilt grain boundary energy. The Σ5 and Σ13 systems in the ? 100 ? system agree with the aforementioned energy relationship; structures confirm that these asymmetric boundaries facet into the symmetric tilt boundaries. The Σ9 and Σ11 systems in the ? 110 ? system deviate from the idealized energy relationship. As the boundary inclination angle increases towards the Σ9 (221) and Σ11 (332) symmetric tilt boundaries, the minimum energy asymmetric boundary structures contain low index {111} and {110} planes bounding the interface region.     

Structure and magneto-optical properties of fine-grain garnet thin films

The structure and magneto-optical properties of fine-grain garnet thin films crystallized by the rapid recurrent thermal annealing (RRTA) method have been studied. The RRAT method has been used to crystallize BiGaDyIG garnet single-layer or BiGaDyIG/AI double-layer films and to get nanometer grain size (about 30–50 nm), which results in a large Faraday rotation angle, a smoother surface and fewer voids in the films. Meanwhile we have discovered that the Faraday rotation angle increases with the number of recurrences during the rapid annealing and quenching. With the more recurrent annealing one can not only get a strong Faraday effect, but it suppresses the appearance of DyFeO₃ phase in garnet films, which has been explained very well. By applying the new method, the as-deposited films have been succesfully crystallized to the (BiDy)₃(FeGa)₅O₁₂ garnet phase. They exhibited excellent magneto-optical properties with a coercivity of about 1500 Oe and effective Faraday rotation angle of 1.5°. The composition, magnetic and magneto-optical properties of the crystallized garnet films have been examined.     

Nb/Au/(1 1 0)YBa2Cu3O7−δ Josephson junctions: evidence against atomic scaled “corner junctions”

We report on I–V characteristics for in situ formed Nb/Au/(1 1 0)YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ (YBCO) Josephson junction, where the homoepitaxial (1 1 0)YBCO film shows ultra-smooth surface morphology. The field dependence of critical supercurrent I_c shows anisotropic large junction behavior with normal Fraunhofer patterns expected from BCS model of d_x²−y² wave superconductors. This strongly suggests that the Nb/Au/(1 1 0)YBCO junctions cannot be regarded as atomic scaled corner junctions, in contrast with (0 0 1)/(1 1 0)YBCO grain boundary junctions to show “π-junction” with a pronounced dip near zero fields in field modulation of I_c.

Theoretical study of the critical current of YBa2Cu3O7−δ bicrystals with hole-deficient grain boundaries

We develop a theory of the critical current across grain boundaries in YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ bicrystals. Experiments have shown that there is hole depletion near a boundary and the concentration profiles have been determined for specific cases. These results mean that the critical temperature is a function of distance from the boundary. Taking this function from experiment as input into the theory, we study two specific boundaries: a boundary with a 7° misorientation angle about [100] which is known to be strongly coupled for the purposes of current flow, and a 31° boundary which is known to be weakly coupled. Using Ginzburg-Landau theory, we determine the dependence of the critical current density (j_c) on temperature and the spatial dependence of the order parameter for these boundaries. The results show that the oxygen depletion can account for a major portion of the change from weak to strong coupling of boundaries as the misorientation angle is increased.
