Linear stability analysis on a spherical particle growing from a binary melt under the far-field flow

The solutions of temperature and solute fields around a spherical crystal growing from a binary melt under the far-field flow are obtained.Based on the results,a linear stability analysis on the spherical interface growing from the binary melt under the far-field flow is performed.It is found that the constitutional supercooling effect ahead of the spherical crystal interface under the far-field flow is enhanced compared with that without the flow.The growth rate of the perturbation amplitude at the up-wind side of the spherical crystal interface is larger than that at the down-wind side.The critical stability radius of the crystal interface decreases with the increasing far-field flow velocity.Under the far-field flow,the whole spherical interface becomes more unstable compared with that without the flow.

The effect of two-dimensional shear flow on the stability of a crystal interface in a supercooled melt

A model is developed based on the time-related thermal diffusion equations to investigate the effects of twodimensional shear flow on the stability of a crystal interface in the supercooled melt of a pure substance.Similar to the three-dimensional shear flow as described in our previous paper,the two-dimensional shear flow can also be found to reduce the growth rate of perturbation amplitude.However,compared with the case of the Laplace equation for a steady-state thermal diffusion field,due to the existence of time partial derivatives of the temperature fields in the diffusion equation the absolute value of the gradients of the temperature fields increases,therefore destabilizing the interface.The circular interface is more unstable than in the case of Laplace equation without time partial derivatives.The critical stability radius of the crystal interface increases with shearing rate increasing.The stability effect of shear flow decreases remarkably with the increase of melt undercooling.

发散光束小尺度自聚焦特性的研究

研究了发散光束的小尺度自聚焦效应。从非线性傍轴波动方程出发,利用坐标变换,推导出发散光束小尺度扰动的传输方程,进而得到小尺度扰动增长的临界频率、最大增长频率和相应B积分值的变化规律。研究了发散光束初始曲率半径对小尺度自聚焦效应的影响。结果表明,对于一定的传输距离,随着发散光束初始曲率半径的减小,小尺度扰动的最大增长频率减小,相应的最大增益减小,即B积分值也减小。对于一定的初始曲率半径,随着传输距离的增大,B积分值增长变缓,并最终停止。利用局部能量守恒定律研究了发散光束的成丝距离,发现小的初始曲率半径可以延长成丝距离。

On the problem of the metastable region at morphological instability

The study deals with numerical analysis of the morphological stability of a growing round particle with respect to harmonic perturbations of an arbitrary amplitude. Various growth regimes (from diffusion to kinetic-limited) are considered. It is found that the critical size of the particle stability decreases as the perturbation amplitude increases and tends to the value, which was determined analytically elsewhere using the maximum entropy production principle. This result is a crucial argument in support of the hypothesis that the entropy production can be used for analysis of a nonequilibrium phase transitions similarly to thermodynamic potentials in the case of equilibrium phase transitions.     

掺杂对CH样品Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性增长的影响

在神光II激光装置上进行了辐射驱动不同掺杂样品的单模Rayleigh-Taylor(RT)不稳定性实验.结果显示:与纯碳氢(CH)样品相比,掺Br的CH样品的扰动更早、更快地进入非线性区,产生二次谐波,并且掺Br比例越高,CH样品扰动进入非线性区的时间越早,相同时刻扰动的二次谐波的幅度越高.这是因为密度梯度效应抑制了二次谐波的产生,掺Br比例越高,密度梯度标长越小;同时密度梯度效应还抑制三次谐波对基模增长的负反馈,造成基模具有更大的线性增长,导致线性饱和幅值大于经典值0.1λ.     

Diffusion-induced growth and morphological stability of a two-dimensional cavity in an adatomic monolayer on the crystal surface

Diffusion-induced growth of a two-dimensional cavity (a pore) in a monolayer of adsorbed atoms (adatoms) on the crystal surface is considered in the case of the vacancy mechanism for diffusion in the monolayer. In the case in which the cavity radius is smaller than the typical diffusion length of vacancies, the stability of the growing cavity against arbitrary small perturbations of its shape is analyzed with the boundary kinetics of vacancies at the cavity boundary taken into account. Threshold cavity radii are found. Exceeding these radii leads to an increase in both the amplitude of the shape distortion and the amplitude of the relative deformation of the cavity shape.     

Electromagnetic soliton propagation in an anisotropic Heisenberg helimagnet

We study the nonlinear spin dynamics of Heisenberg helimagnet under the effect of electromagnetic wave (EM) propagation. The basic dynamical equation of the spin evolution governed by Landau–Lifshitz equation resembles the director dynamics of the twist in a cholestric liquid crystal. With the use of reductive perturbation technique the perturbation is invoked for the spin magnetization and magnetic field components of the propagating electromagnetic wave. A steady-state solution is derived for the weakly nonlinear regime and for the next order, the components turn around s plane perpendicular to the propagation direction. It is found that as the electromagnetic wave propagates in the medium, both the magnetization and magnetic field modulate in the form of kink soliton modes by introducing amplitude fluctuation in the tail part of the same.     

Transverse oscillations of a long-pulse electron beam on alaser-formed channel

An intense relativistic electron beam may be transported in low-pressure gas using an ion channel which focuses and guides the beam. The beam can be unstable to the growth of transverse oscillations caused by the electric force between the beam and channel-the ion hose instability. Beam propagation on channels created by photoionization of gas with an excimer laser is discussed. Ion hose oscillations have been recorded which have a betatron wavelength of approximately 1.5 m. The growth rate of the ion hose instability in the linear regime was measured as 1.67±0.45. At this level of growth, the amplitude of beam oscillations equals the channel radius after a period of one-third of an ion oscillation time     

Instability of Epitaxially Strained Thin Films Based on Nonlocal Elasticity

We perform a linear analysis of the elastic fields and stability of epitaxially strained thin films based on nonlocal elasticity. We derive expressions of perturbed stresses to the first order of perturbation amplitude, which show that the stresses are directly proportional to the lattice mismatch and the perturbation amplitude, and decrease with an increase in the perturbation wavelength. The critical perturbation wavelength distinguishes whether the flat film for the perturbation is stable, which is inversely proportional to the square of the mismatch and decreases with the thickness of the film.

高温高压合成立方氮化硼的热力学分析

 从热力学角度计算出了以六角氮化硼为原料、用高压触媒法合成立方氮化硼时所形成稳定的临界晶粒半径r_k的大小,当p=6.0 GPa、T=1 600 ℃时,r_k≈15 nm。分析了r_k的大小与合成温度、压力的关系,以及在给定压力下立方氮化硼晶粒转化率与温度的关系。结果表明：在立方氮化硼稳定区,在相同压力下,r_k随温度的升高而增大;在相同温度下,r_k随压力的升高而减小,r_k越小立方氮化硼晶粒的转化率越高。计算结果与实际合成实验所得结果完全一致。     

爆轰加载下高纯铜界面Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性实验研究

金属界面不稳定性是内爆物理压缩过程中关注的重要问题,与传统流体界面不稳定性具有显著区别.由于相关理论和实验诊断技术的限制,目前该问题的研究还明显不足.为加深对金属界面不稳定性扰动增长行为的认识,本文建立了爆轰加载下高纯铜界面Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性研究的实验诊断技术和数据处理方法,得到了扰动发展早期不同时刻界面扰动增长的X光图像.实验结果分析表明:在爆轰产物的无冲击加载条件下扰动波长基本保持不变,而初始扰动幅值越大,界面扰动增长的趋势就越明显;同时随着样品前界面扰动的不断发展,在样品的后自由面也出现了与前界面初始相位相反的扰动特征,即样品前界面扰动为波谷的位置所对应的后界面先运动而逐渐演变为波峰,而前界面扰动为波峰的位置所对应的后界面则演变为波谷;在5.26μs时刻,界面扰动幅值增长为初始值的700%左右,应变率达到了约105/s.结合数值模拟研究表明:在此情况下常用的Steinberg-Cochran-Guinan模型在一定程度上低估了高纯铜材料强度的强化特性,无法准确地描述强度对界面扰动增长的制稳作用,从而导致数值模拟结果要大于实验测量结果.     

Morphological stability analysis of the epitaxial growth of a circular island: Application to nanoscale shape control

In this paper, we present a comprehensive morphological stability analysis of a single, epitaxially growing, perturbed circular island by using a Burton-Cabrera-Frank (BCF) island dynamics model. We show that there exists a critical deposition flux for which a single mode perturbation remains unchanged. In the absence of an additional far-field mass flux, there exists a naturally stabilizing radius, so that beyond this radius, growth is always stable. Up to this radius, taking fluxes larger than the critical flux results in instability. The presence of kinetics makes sufficiently small islands grow stably, even without line tension or surface diffusion. The presence of desorption further introduces a range of parameters and island radii for which both stable and unstable shrinkage may occur. The presence of a far-field mass flux in the BCF model can eliminate the naturally stabilizing radius and unstable growth may be achieved for a wide range of island radii. We then demonstrate how these results may be exploited to control the shape of the island using the deposition flux and far-field mass flux as control parameters.     

Weak Nonlinearity of Ablative Rayleigh--Taylor Instability

The weakly nonlinear regime of single mode ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability is studied, with consideration of preheat effect and the width of the ablation front. The Rayleigh-Taylor linear growth rate agrees well with the direct numerical simulation. For the density perturbation, the amplitude distribution of the fundamental mode has one peak value whereas those of the second and third harmonics have two and three peak values, respectively. Harmonics generation versus wave number is also given and it is close to the result of direct numerical simulation.     

Effect of hole-shape irregularities on photonic crystal waveguides

The effect of irregular hole shape on the spectrum and radiation losses of a photonic crystal waveguide is studied using Bloch-mode expansion. Deviations from a circular hole are characterized by a radius fluctuation amplitude and correlation angle. It is found that the parameter that determines the magnitude of the effect of disorder is the standard deviation of the hole areas. Hence, for a fixed amplitude of the radius fluctuation around the hole, those effects are strongly dependent on the correlation angle of the irregular shape, which suggests how to potentially improve the quality of photonic crystal structures.
