Phase-field study of spinodal decomposition under effect of grain boundary

Grain boundary directed spinodal decomposition has a substantial effect on the microstructure evolution and properties of polycrystalline alloys. The morphological selection mechanism of spinodal decomposition at grain boundaries is a major challenge to reveal, and remains elusive so far. In this work, the effect of grain boundaries on spinodal decomposition is investigated by using the phase-field model. The simulation results indicate that the spinodal morphology at the grain boundary is anisotropic bicontinuous microstructures different from the isotropic continuous microstructures of spinodal decomposition in the bulk phase. Moreover, at grain boundaries with higher energy, the decomposed phases are alternating α/β layers that are parallel to the grain boundary. On the contrary, alternating α/β layers are perpendicular to the grain boundary.

SSC-LINAC中APF型DTL的优化设计

A linear accelerator as a new injector for the SSC （Separated Sector Cyclotron） of the HIRFL （Heavy Ion Research Facility Lanzhou） is being designed. The DTL （Drift-Tube-Linac） has been designed to accelerate ^238U^34＋ from 0.140 MeV/u to 0.97 MeV/u. To the first accelerating tank which accelerates ^238U^34＋ to 0.54 MeV/u, the approach of Alternating-Phase-Focusing （APF） is applied. The phase array is obtained by coupling optimization software Dakota and beam optics code LINREV. With the hybrid of Multi- objective Genetic Algorithm （MOGA） and a pattern search method, an optimum array of asynchronous phases is determined. The final growth, both transversely and longitudinally, can meet the design requirements. In this paper, the deign optimization of the APF DTL is presented.     

X-ray computer tomography of natural fibrous diamonds and ballas

The results of investigation of natural fibrous diamonds by laboratory X-ray computer tomography using monochromatic radiation are presented. The existence of numerous heterophase microinclusions in fibrous crystals is established. Spatial distribution of inclusions can be connected both with morphological features of crystals, and with growth conditions. It is established that the ballas practically does not contain inclusions of extraneous phases.     

Measurement of diameter of metal cylinders using a sinusoidally vibrating interference pattern

A method for measuring external diameters of metal cylinders is proposed in which a sinusoidally vibrating interference pattern (SVIP) of 100-μm period is used as an exact scale. Lights from the end-points of a metal cylinder are extracted with a spatial filtering in an imaging system to form a cross-sectional image of the metal cylinder. On the image a sinusoidally phase-modulated signal owing to the SVIP is detected with a CCD image sensor to measure the phases of the SVIP at the two end-points of the cylinder. The coordinates of the two end-points are obtained from the phases at the two end-points, the phase distribution of the SVIP, and the coordinates of the pixels of the CCD image sensor. Metal cylinder diameters of 7.99, 8.00, and 9.00 mm are measured along their length directions with an error less than 1 μm.     

A morphological study of the effect of chlorambucil during the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle of synchronized HEp-2 cancer cell populations using computerized morphometry

Chlorambucil, a bisalkylating agent, used extensively in the treatment of autoimmune and neoplastic diseases, is known to affect DNA synthesis. However recent studies have revealed that it also affects the synthesis of other nuclear protein constituents, especially histones. Since histones play a major role in both the structural and functional integrity of chromatin, we have analyzed the morphological effects of this agent, using low dose conditions and synchronized populations of HEp-2 cancer cells in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. Analyses at the light and electron microscopy levels were undertaken using synchronous image analysis techniques. Computerized morphometry was used so as to evaluate various nuclear and cytological morphological parameters. It was found that chlorambucil affects the organization of chromatin, as well as other cellular parameters in a manner characteristic of decreased tumor aggressiveness. A finding of significance in this study was that chlorambucil exerted its influence on all these morphological parameters only when treatment was initiated at the beginning of the S phase and not during the second half of the S phase or the G2 phase.     

Calculations of the complete morphological phase diagram for nonequilibrium growth of a spherical crystal under arbitrary surface kinetics

Complete morphological diagrams (with stable, metastable, and absolutely unstable regions) were calculated for the problem of morphology selection under the conditions of nonequilibrium growth of a spherical crystal taking into account arbitrary kinetic process rates at the boundary and a linear dependence of the growth rate on supersaturation. The consideration was performed by jointly using linear stability analysis and the principle of maximum entropy production. The principal difference between kinetically and diffusion-controlled crystal growth is the possibility of the coexistence of three or more morphological phases under the same conditions in the former case. It was shown that, at the transition point, the rate of accretion of the growing crystal mass increased in a jump. The jump value was studied as a function of the parameters of the problem.     

Thickness induced transversal percolation in Pt-Al2O3 nano-composites

Investigations of thickness induced percolation process in Pt_ξ-Al₂O₃ nano-composites were carried out using grazing angle X-ray scattering. It is shown that the morphological characteristics of the nano-scaled Pt particles change significantly within the growth transversal direction. The initially non percolated two phases Pt_ξ-Al₂O₃ nano-composites show a noteworthy tendency to a percolated morphology with a gradual transversal increase of Pt nano-particles' average diameter in addition to the increase of the Pt nano-particles' poly-dispersity. This transversal morphological evolution is followed by a percolation phenomenon of the Pt nano-particles for a thickness of about ∼119.5 nm. This transversal morphological evolution seems to corroborate far too much with a columnar growth process.     

Predicting the Mechanical Properties of Binary Blends of Immiscible Polymers

We couple a morphological study of an immiscible binary AB mixture with a micromechanical simulation to determine how the spatial distribution of the A and B domains and the interfacial region (interphase) affects the mechanical behavior of the blend. The morphological studies are conducted through a three-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard (CH) simulation. Through the CH calculations, we obtain the size and structure of the domains for different blend compositions. The output of the CH model serves as the input to the Lattice Spring Model (LSM), which consists of a three-dimensional network of springs. In particular, the location of the different phases is mapped onto the LSM lattice and the appropriate force constants are assigned to the LSM sites. A stress is applied to the LSM lattice and we calculate the elastic response of the material. We find that the local stress and strain fields are highly dependent on the morphology of the system. By integrating the morphological and mechanical models, we can isolate how modifications in the composition of the mixture affect the macroscopic behavior. Thus, we can establish how choices made in the components affect the ultimate performance of the material.

From ordered bubbles to random stripes: Pattern formation in a hydrodynamic lattice gas

A two-component momentum-conserving lattice gas with competing interactions is introduced in two dimensions. One interaction acts at short range and produces interfaces with surface tension. The second interaction, the negative of the first, acts at rangea and produces modulated structures with approximate wavelength 2a. Depending on particle density, species concentration, and relative interaction strength, the equilibrium patterns formed by the model range from isotropic mixed and unmixed phases to hexagonally-ordered bubbles to randomly-oriented stripes. A Ginzburg-Landau equation is proposed that qualitatively captures the basic features of these phase transitions.     

Undulated cylinders of charged diblock copolymers

We study the cylinder to sphere morphological transition of diblock copolymers in aqueous solution with a hydrophobic block and a charged block. We find a metastable undulated cylinder configuration for a range of charge and salt concentrations which, nevertheless, occurs above the threshold where spheres are thermodynamically favorable. By modeling the shape of the cylinder ends, we find that the free-energy barrier for the transition from cylinders to spheres is quite large and that this barrier falls significantly in the limit of high polymer charge and low solution salinity. This suggests that observed undulated cylinder phases are kinetically trapped structures.     

Study of the sintering behaviour of MgB2 superconductor during hot-pressing

The densification behaviour of MgB₂ was studied when commercial powder was hot-pressed in the temperature range 1070–1190 °C. The mechanisms active during sintering were investigated by continuously recording the shrinkage vs. time and elaborating the data on the basis of Kingery’s model for liquid phase sintering. XRD and SEM analysis on final dense bodies were used to evaluate secondary phases formation during sintering and the effect of magnesium sublimation. AC magnetic susceptibility measurements were also performed to correlate the microstructural and morphological modifications induced by hot-pressing and the superconducting properties.

Statistical searching of deformation phases on wavelet transform maps of fringe patterns

A wavelet transform (WT) analysis is presented to obtain the deformation phases from the fringes with non-uniform carrier frequency, which may appear in the pattern of varied-periodic fringes generated in displacement measurement. Based on the phase maps of the Morlet WT coefficients distributed in a space-scale spectrum, a statistical processing is carried out to search the compacted density of the phase intervals over the scale, and from that the phase modulations related to the object deformation can be determined. Numerical simulation demonstrates the validity of the pattern-processing technique, and the experimental results show the applications to the measurement of the in-plane displacement by the digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI) and the measurement of the out-of-plane deflection by the projecting Moiré fringes.
