X-ray observations of tungsten wire array Z-pinch implosions on QiangGuang-1 facility

Z-pinch experiments with two arrays consisting, respectively, of 32 4-μm- and 6-μm-diameter tungsten wires have been carried out on QiangGuang-1 facility with a current rising up to 1.5MA in 80ns. At early time of implosion, x-ray framing images show that the initial emission comes from the central part of arrays, and double clear emission rings, drifting to the anode and the cathode at 5×10⁶cm/s and 2.4×10⁷cm/s respectively, are often produced near the electrodes. Later, in a 4-μm-diameter tungsten wire array, filamentation caused by ohmic heating is prominent, and more than ten filaments have been observed. A radial inward shift of arrays starts at about 30\,ns earlier than the occurrence of the x-ray peak power for both kinds of arrays, and the shrinkage rate of emission region is as high as 1.7×10⁷cm/s in a 4-μm-diameter tungsten wire array, which is two times higher than that in a 6-μm one. Emission from precursor plasmas is observed in implosion of 6-μm-diameter tungsten wire arrays, but not in implosion of a 4-μm-diameter tungsten wire array. Whereas, in a 4-μm-diameter tungsten wire array, the soft x-ray emission shows the growth of m=1 instability in the plasma column, which is caused by current. The reasons for the discrepancy between implosions of 4-μm- and 6-μm-diameter tungsten wire arrays are explained.

基于机器视觉的移动工件抓取和装配的研究

针对工业生产线上某产品上下盖自动装配的问题,运用运动控制理论与机器视觉相结合,搭建了一套模拟工业生产线产品装配系统。首先利用工业相机对进入视场的工件进行单帧图像采集,获取图像数据;然后利用OpenCV对数字图像进行处理,包括中值滤波、阈值分割、孔洞填充、边缘提取来获取数字图像的特征;之后通过质心法结合矩形拟合计算出工件的质心坐标和偏转角度;最后引导六轴机械臂抓取产品的时候能根据图像处理结果进行纠偏和补偿。该系统采用平面棋盘格标定板对工业相机进行了标定,并且在线进行了验证,实验结果表明,工件抓取和装配成功率为100%,满足工业现场的装配精度要求。     

The Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Isotactic Polypropylene Injection-Molded Samples with the Presence of β-Nucleation Agent and Periodical Shear Field

The pressure vibration injection molding (PVIM) method was used to prepare β-nucleated isotactic polypropylene samples (PVIM β-iPP samples); a relatively low, periodical shear was imposed on the polymer melt in the mold at the filling and packing stages. The crystal structures and crystal orientation of the PVIM β-iPP samples were investigated by polarizing light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and synchrotron two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction (2D-WAXD). The PLM observations indicated that a cylindrite layer, rather than the transition layer, was found in PVIM β-iPP samples, which is different from the conventional injection-molded (CIM) samples. In addition, the thickness of the oriented layer of the PVIM samples was obviously greater than that of the CIM samples. The SEM observations demonstrated that a large amount of shish-kebab structures appeared in the shear layer of the PVIM β-iPP samples; at the same time, numerous β-spherulites were formed in the core layer. The 2D-WAXD data indicated that orientation homogeneity, to some degree, could be obtained by the periodical shear during PVIM. As a result, the above-mentioned morphology of the PVIM β-iPP samples leads to potentially useful prominent reinforcement and toughening of the material.     

核物质状态方程中动量相关作用可能的探针

研究了动量相关作用对于中子-质子比动能谱rb(Ek)的效应,发现rb(Ek)灵敏的依赖于动量相关作用而弱的依赖于介质中核子-核子碰撞截面和对称势.因此rb(Ek)是提取重离子碰撞中动量相关作用信息的可能探针.同时,对于丰中子弹核和相同质量稳定弹核在相同入射道条件下,丰中子碰撞系统明显加强了动量相关作用对rb(Ek)的效应.故两个碰撞系统rb(Ek)结果的比较为在重离子碰撞中提取动量相关作用的知识提供了另一个重要的判据。     

Diode-end-pumped composite Nd:YVO4 yellow laser based on intracavity frequency-doubled self-Raman laser

We report an intracavity frequency-doubled Q-switched self-Raman yellow laser at 587 nm. A composite Nd:YVO₄ crystal was utilized as self-Raman gain medium. The maximum average output power of yellow light obtained was 1.5 W at the incident pump power of 30 W and at a repetition rate of 50 kHz, corresponding to the optical conversion efficiency of 5%. The shortest pulse width, the maximum pulse energy and the highest peak power were measured to be 5.8 ns, 46.7 μJ and 5.9 kW, respectively.     

Statistical method for resolving the photon–photoelectron-counting inversion problem

A statistical inversion method is proposed for the photon–photoelectron-counting statistics in quantum key distribution experiment. With the statistical viewpoint, this problem is equivalent to the parameter estimation for an infinite binomial mixture model. The coarse-graining idea and Bayesian methods are applied to deal with this ill-posed problem, which is a good simple example to show the successful application of the statistical methods to the inverse problem. Numerical results show the applicability of the proposed strategy. The coarse-graining idea for the infinite mixture models should be general to be used in the future.     

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.
