水对无定形SiO2拉伸特性影响的反应分子动力学模拟

潮湿对SiO₂的强度有重要影响. 采用反应场分子动力学模拟方法,研究液态水对无定形SiO₂ （a-SiO₂）准静态拉伸特性的影响. 准静态拉伸模拟的结果表明,在干燥条件下,a-SiO₂的拉伸强度为9.4 GPa,而在含液态水时则下降为4.7 GPa,表明液态水使得a-SiO₂拉伸强度发生显著下降. 根据应力-应变曲线分析可知,干燥条件下a-SiO₂结构的刚度随着拉伸应变的增加保持稳定,而含液态水的a-SiO₂刚度随着拉伸应变的增加而逐步降低,并且应变为16%–20%时的应力-应变曲线类似于金属的屈服现象. 通过对拉伸过程的原子图像分析可知,含液态水a-SiO₂的拉伸过程并没有发生塑性变形,而是因为应力增大加速了水解反应,使得应力-应变曲线表现出上述塑性现象. 关键词： 2')" href="#">无定形SiO₂ 机械强度 水 分子动力学模拟     

单晶钨纳米线拉伸变形机理的分子动力学研究

利用分子动力学方法, 对本课题组率先采用金属催化的气相合成法制备出的高纯度单晶钨纳米线进行拉伸变形数值模拟, 通过分析拉伸应力-应变全曲线及其微观变形结构, 揭示出单晶钨纳米线的拉伸变形特征及微观破坏机理. 结果表明: 单晶钨纳米线的应力-应变全曲线可分为弹性阶段、损伤阶段、相变阶段、强化阶段、 破坏阶段等五个阶段, 其中相变是单晶钨纳米线材料强化的重要原因; 首次应力突降是由于局部原子产生了位错、孪生等不可逆变化所致; 第二次应力突降是发生相变的材料得到强化后, 当局部原子再次产生位错导致原子晶格结构彻底破坏而形成裂口、且裂口不断发展成颈缩区时, 材料最终失去承载能力而断裂. 计算模拟得到的单晶钨纳米线弹性模量值与实测值符合较好. 关键词： 分子动力学 应力应变曲线 微观机理 单晶钨纳米线

Magnetic domain structure and thermal stabilization of laser treatment zones in soft magnetic materials

A combined effect of laser treatment and introduced fine-grained weakly magnetic impurity Mg–P–B defects on the magnetic structure and physical properties of anisotropic electrotechnical materials has been investigated. Specific features of changes in the type and behavior of the magnetic domain structure under different types of deformation (laser irradiation, scratching, and introduction of interstitial defects) have been revealed. The physical basis and optimum conditions of increase in thermal stability of local laser treatment zones in soft magnetic alloys have been determined. The obtained results open the prospects of decreasing magnetic losses in soft magnetic alloys and producing magnetic materials with a high level of physical and mechanical properties that are more resistant to operating conditions.     

Controllable tuning of the electronic transport in pre-designed graphene nanoribbon

We make use of ab initio density functional theory calculation to explore the electronic and transport properties of zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) with peculiar designed electronic transport channels by tailoring the atomic configuration of the nanostructure. Tailoring the atomic structure has significant influences on the electronic transport of the defective nanostructure, and eventually the metal-semiconducting transition are identified with the increasing number of missing atoms. Our results demonstrate that pre-designed graphene nanoribbon by selective tailoring with high precision is expected to be served as the basic component for nanoelectronic device.     

Scratching as a fracture process: from butter to steel

We present results of a hybrid experimental and theoretical investigation of the fracture scaling in scratch tests and show that scratching is a fracture dominated process. Validated for paraffin wax, cement paste, Jurassic limestone and steel, we derive a model that provides a quantitative means to relate quantities measured in scratch tests to fracture properties of materials at multiple scales. The scalability of scratching for different probes and depths opens new venues towards miniaturization of our technique, to extract fracture properties of materials at even smaller length scales.     

Effect of structural vacancies on lattice vibration,mechanical, electronic,and thermodynamic properties of Cr5BSi3

In recent years,transition metal silicides have become the potential high temperature materials.The ternary silicide has attracted the attention of scientists and researchers.But their inherent brittle behaviors hinder their wide applications.In this work,we use the first-principles method to design four vacancy defects and discuss the effects of vacancy defects on the structural stability,mechanical properties,electronic and thermodynamic properties of hexagonal Cr;BSi;silicide.The data of lattice vibration and thermodynamic parameters indicate that the Cr;BSi;with different atomic vacancies can possess the structural stabilities.The different atomic vacancies change the mechanical properties and induce the Cr;BSi;to implement the brittle-to-ductile transition.The shear deformation resistance and volume deformation resistance of Cr;BSi;are weakened by different vacancy defects.But the brittleness behavior is remarkably improved.The structural stability and brittle-to-ductile transition of Cr;BSi;with different vacancies are explored by the electronic structures.Moreover,the thermal parameters indicate that the Cr;BSi;with vacancies exhibit different thermodynamic properties with temperature rising.     

Effect of Point and Line Defects on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Graphene: A Review

New materials with distinctive properties are arising and attracting the scientific community at regular intervals. Stiffness and strength are the important factors in determining stability and lifetime of any technological devices, but defects which are inevitable at the time of production can alter the structural properties of any engineering materials. Developing graphene with specific structural properties depends upon controlling these defects, either by removing or deliberately engineering atomic structure to gain or tailoring specific properties. In this article, a comprehensive review of defective graphene sheets with respect to its mechanical and thermal properties are presented and examined.     

Irregular elliptical plasmonic rings for engineering near-field and phase

Metallic glasses find wide applications in nanotechnology and micro electro-mechanical systems because of their unique physical properties due to their amorphous structures. The material removal mechanism in nanometric cutting of Cu₅₀Zr₅₀, a typical metallic glass, is studied using molecular dynamics method. The chip formation, workpiece deformation and scratching forces under various scratching depths, scratching velocities and temperatures are investigated. The effect of void defect on the cutting behaviors of metallic glass is also explored. The results show that the material removal in nanometric cutting process is based on extrusion instead of shearing, achieving a good understanding of material removal at the nanoscale.     

Vibration analysis of defective graphene sheets using nonlocal elasticity theory

Many papers have studied the free vibration of graphene sheets. However, all this papers assumed their atomic structure free of any defects. Nonetheless, they actually contain some defects including single vacancy, double vacancy and Stone-Wales defects. This paper, therefore, investigates the free vibration of defective graphene sheets, rather than pristine graphene sheets, via nonlocal elasticity theory. Governing equations are derived using nonlocal elasticity and the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The influence of structural defects on the vibration of graphene sheets is considered by applying the mechanical properties of defective graphene sheets. Afterwards, these equations solved using generalized differential quadrature method (GDQ). The small-scale effect is applied in the governing equations of motion by nonlocal parameter. The effects of different defect types are inspected for graphene sheets with clamped or simply-supported boundary conditions on all sides. It is shown that the natural frequencies of graphene sheets decrease by introducing defects to the atomic structure. Furthermore, it is found that the number of missing atoms, shapes and distributions of structural defects play a significant role in the vibrational behavior of graphene. The effect of vacancy defect reconstruction is also discussed in this paper.     

Formation,structure, and properties of “welded” <Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>-BN/graphene compounds

Structures of h-BN/graphene with holes where atoms at the edges are bonded to each other by sp² hybridized C–B and C–N bonds and form continuous junctions from layer to layer with topological defects inside holes have been considered. Their formation, as well as the moiré-type stable atomic structure of such compounds (with different rotation angles of graphene with respect to the hexagonal boron nitride monolayer) with closed hexagonal holes in the AA centers of packing of the moiré superlattice, has been studied. The stability, as well as the electronic and mechanical properties, of such bilayer BN/graphene nanomeshes has been analyzed within electron density functional theory. It has been shown that they have semiconducting properties. Their electronic band structures and mechanical characteristics differ from the respective properties of separate monolayer nanomeshes with the same geometry and arrangement of holes.

Effects of point defects on the electronic structures and mechanical properties of such cubic phases are further analyzed and discussed in view of the charge density and the density of states.
