Continuous‐scan capability at SSRL and applications to X‐ray diffraction

Typical X‐ray diffraction measurements are made by moving a detector to discrete positions in space and then measuring the signal at each stationary position. This step‐scanning method can be time‐consuming, and may induce vibrations in the measurement system when the motors are accelerated and decelerated at each position. Furthermore, diffraction information between the data points may be missed unless a fine step‐scanning is used, which further increases the total measurement time. To utilize beam time efficiently, the motor acceleration and deceleration time should be minimized, and the signal‐to‐noise ratio should be maximized. To accomplish this, an integrated continuous‐scan system was developed at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL). The continuous‐scan system uses an in‐house integrated motor controller system and counter/timer electronics. SPEC software is used to control both the hardware and data acquisition systems. The time efficiency and repeatability of the continuous‐scan system were tested using X‐ray diffraction from a ZnO powder and compared with the step‐scan technique. Advantages and limitations of the continuous‐scan system and a demonstration of variable‐velocity continuous scan are discussed.

从认知理论看实验能力与创新能力的关系

认知心理学理论认为,人的知识与能力的获得实际上就是信息的加工过程,也即是学习者在能力习得过程的对已有经验的刺激反应过程.大学实验不仅培养学生的动手能力,它也是孕育创新能力的培养课程.实验能力与思维方式、年龄、智商、性别、知识积累和培养方式等诸多因素相关,思维方式与思维路径绝对创新力,反之,借助于创新性实验教学可以提高学生的创造性思维.     

Mechanism for flow-rate controlled breakup in confined geometries: a route to monodisperse emulsions

This Letter describes a quasistationary breakup of an immiscible, inviscid fluid at low capillary numbers. The breakup proceeds in a coflowing, viscous liquid, in a confined geometry of a long and narrow orifice. In contrast to the capillary instability in an unbounded fluid, the collapse proceeds through a series of equilibria, each yielding the minimum interfacial energy of the fluid-fluid interface. The process is slow in comparison to typical relaxation speeds of the interface, and it is reversible. Its quasistatic character of collapse forms the basis for controlled, high-throughput generation of monodisperse fluid dispersions.     

Branch Processes of Regular Magnetic Monopole

In this paper, by making use of Duan＇s topological current theory, the branch process of regular magnetic monopoles is discussed in detail. Regular magnetic monopoles are found generating or annihilating at the limit point and encountering, splitting, or merging at the bifurcation point and the degenerate point systematically of the vector order parameter field φ（x）. Furthermore, it is also shown that when regular magnetic monopoles split or merge at the degenerate point of field function φ, the total topological charges of the regular magnetic monopoles are stilI unchanged.     

Evolution of Spiral Waves in Excitable Systems

Spiral waves, whose rotation center can be regarded as a point defect, widely exist in various two-dimensional excitable systems. In this paper, by making use of Duan＇s topological current theory, we obtain the charge density of spiral waves and the topological inner structure of its topological charge. The evolution of spiral wave is also studied from the topological properties of a two-dimensional vector field. The spiral waves are found generating or annihilating at the limit points and encountering, splitting, or merging at the bifurcation points of the two-dimensional vector field. Some applications of our theory are also discussed.     

Toward a structural understanding of turbulent drag reduction: nonlinear coherent states in viscoelastic shear flows

Nontrivial steady flows have recently been found that capture the main structures of the turbulent buffer layer. We study the effects of polymer addition on these "exact coherent states" (ECS) in plane Couette flow. Despite the simplicity of the ECS flows, these effects closely mirror those observed experimentally: Structures shift to larger length scales, wall-normal fluctuations are suppressed while streamwise ones are enhanced, and drag is reduced. The mechanism underlying these effects is elucidated. These results suggest that the ECS are closely related to buffer layer turbulence.     

基于遗传算法的变电站巡检机器人任务路径规划方法研究

近年来,随着变电站巡检机器人在变电站中的广泛使用,巡检机器人路径规划问题越来越成为亟待解决的问题。巡检机器人在已知的拓扑地图中标记了待执行巡检任务的停靠点,不同任务需要从初始点出发经过不同的一系列停靠点再返回初始点,如何规划路径是机器人面临的问题。首先分析了路径规划面临的问题,然后通过分析拓扑地图的特征,对地图进行等价简化,再对问题进行建模使用遗传算法求解巡检任务路径规划的近似最优解。通过仿真实验证明,提出的基于遗传算法的路径规划方法是可行有效的,为变电站巡检机器人任务路径规划提供了一种有效方法。

对用电化学方法制备Si大孔阵列管坑工艺进行了初步探索。 通过对Si在KOH溶液中各向异性湿法蚀刻和在HF酸溶液中的电化学蚀刻过程中各种参数的摸索, 确定在室温下制备大孔阵列的最佳配比浓度, 蚀刻出符合要求的管坑阵列, 为进一步制备结构化闪烁屏奠定了实验基础。 The 3 D structures in silicon are increasingly coming to use in many fields. For example, the high resolution X ray digital imaging detector can be made by coupling CCD and the scintillating screen which is made by the array trenches filled with CsI(Tl). In the present work, we explored the technology of etching micro array on the n type silicon with high resistance. By studying the relative parameters of anisotropic etching of KOH and electro chemical etching of HF, the optimized concentration of HF was determined and the micro pore array trenches with 200 μm in depth were realized. The results establish an experimental base for further fabrication of the scintillating screen.
