Identifying the viscoelastic properties of soft matter from the indentation response of a hard film-soft substrate system

The indentation technique is widely used in measuring the mechanical properties of soft matter at the microscale or nanoscale,but still faces challenges by these unique properties as well as the consequent strong surface adhesion, including the strong nonlinear effect, unclear judgment of the contact point, difficulties in estimating the contact area, and the risk of the indenter piercing the sample. Here we propose a two-step method to solve these problems: lay a hard film on a soft matter, and obtain the viscoelastic properties of this soft matter through the indentation response of this composite structure. We first establish a theoretical indentation model of the hard film-soft substrate system based on the theory of plates, elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle and Boltzmann superposition principle. To verify the correctness of this method, we measure the mechanical properties of the methyl vinyl silicone rubber(MVSR) covered by a Cu nanofilm. Finally, we test the effectiveness and error sensitivity of this method with the finite element method(FEM). The results show that our method can accurately measure the mechanical properties of soft matter, while effectively circumventing the problems of the traditional indentation technique.     

Effects of Nb and Si on densities of valence electrons in bulk and defects of Fe3Al alloys

Positron lifetime measurements have been performed in binary Fe₃Al and Fe₃Al doping with Nb or Si alloys. The densities of valence electrons of the bulk and microdefects in all tested samples have been calculated by using the positron lifetime parameters. Density of valence electron is low in the bulk of Fe₃Al alloy. It indicates that, the 3d electrons in a Fe atom have strong-localized properties and tend to form covalent bonds with Al atoms, and the bonding nature in Fe₃Al is a mixture of metallic and covalent bonds. The density of valence electron is very low in the defects of Fe₃Al grain boundary, which makes the bonding cohesion in grain boundary quite weak. The addition of Si to Fe₃Al gives rise to the decrease of the densities of valence electrons in the bulk and the grain boundary thus the metallic bonding cohesion. This makes the alloy more brittle. The addition of Nb to Fe₃Al results in the decrease of the ordering energy of the alloy and increases the density of valence electron and the bonding cohesion of the grain boundary. However, since the radius of Nb atom is larger than that of Fe atom, when Nb atoms substitute for Fe atoms, they will distort the lattice and enlarge the volume of the lattice, which decreases the density of valence electron and the cohesion of metallic bond in the bulk of the alloy.

A splitting preconditioner for saddle point problems

For large sparse systems of linear equations iterative techniques are attractive. In this paper, we study a splitting method for an important class of symmetric and indefinite system. Theoretical analyses show that this method converges to the unique solution of the system of linear equations for all t>0 (t is the parameter). Moreover, all the eigenvalues of the iteration matrix are real and nonnegative and the spectral radius of the iteration matrix is decreasing with respect to the parameter t. Besides, a preconditioning strategy based on the splitting of the symmetric and indefinite coefficient matrices is proposed. The eigensolution of the preconditioned matrix is described and an upper bound of the degree of the minimal polynomials for the preconditioned matrix is obtained. Numerical experiments of a model Stokes problem and a least‐squares problem with linear constraints presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

Time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equations for multi-gap superconductors

We numerically solve the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau equations for two-gap superconductors using the finite-element technique. The real-time simulation shows that at low magnetic field, the vortices in small-size samples tend to form clusters or other disorder structures. When the sample size is large, stripes appear in the pattern. These results are in good agreement with the previous experimental observations of the intriguing anomalous vortex pattern, providing a reliable theoretical basis for the future applications of multi-gap superconductors.     

分层介质中面波的能量分布

在三维情况下研究了分层介质中Rayleigh和Love面波的能量分布问题,分析了多层介质中柱面面波的能量传播特性.面波是声源与介质分界面相互作用的结果,其能流密度随深度增加很快衰减,但在一定深度处出现极大和极小值.通过数值分析发现只有当径向距离较大时,面波能量传播的速度才等于其群速度.文中还考查了频率、深度、介质层状结构等参数对能量分布的影响.     

Stronger Criteria for Nonseparability in n-Partite Quantum States

We investigate the multipartite entanglement in arbitrary dimensional systems, and separability criteria for nonseparability in n-partite quantum states are derived. Examples such as the generalized noisy-W state and the GHZ basis states mixed with white noise are provided to show that our criteria are independent of and stronger than previously reported ones. Our criteria can also be expressed by the elements of the density matrix, which allows a simple and practical evaluation and computation. The experimental implementation of our criteria is also discussed.

CiADS次临界反应堆采用铅铋作为冷却剂,使用绕丝定位的闭式燃料组件。螺旋绕丝能够使流动工质发生横向交混,增强不同子通道间的动量交换。本工作使用ANSYS ICEM和STAR-CCM+软件划分了结构化网格和多面体网格,对CiADS燃料棒束通道横流特性进行研究,分析了结构化网格与非结构化网格对流动特性的影响。结果显示：相比于非结构化网格,结构化网格的子通道间横流量计算结果更接近LES的结果;结构化网格得到的摩擦因子系数与UCTD公式预测值最为接近,多面体网格的结果比经验公式的预测值小。同时,本研究对现有横流特性经验公式进行了改进,可更准确地预测带绕丝燃料棒束横流特性。上述研究成果提供了子通道程序优化的新思路,同时可为CiADS燃料组件热工水力设计与分析提供参考。     

多分散Au-Ag合金纳米球的光谱消光法反演

贵金属纳米颗粒具有局域表面等离子体共振特性而引起了广泛的关注,其中Au-Ag合金纳米颗粒具有良好的结构稳定性、光热性能以及潜在的抗癌功效而得到普遍研究。在众多应用中的特性与其粒径和浓度密切相关,然而目前常用的电子显微镜观察法和动态光散射法不能同时获得粒径和浓度信息,因此采取有效手段测量颗粒粒径和浓度信息至关重要。基于光谱消光法,利用非负的Tikhonov正则化方法解决反演问题,并根据Mie理论计算消光矩阵。针对噪声问题,采取两种情况研究多分散Au-Ag合金纳米球粒径分布与浓度的反演问题。未添加噪声情况下,颗粒系Ⅰ的反演相对误差小于颗粒系Ⅱ,在波长范围300～500 nm之间的反演相对误差最小,对应平均粒径、粒径标准差和颗粒数浓度的反演相对误差分别为0%,-0.03%和0%。添加随机噪声情况下,将0.5%和1.0%的随机噪声添加进颗粒系Ⅰ中的消光谱,经过数据比较发现在波长范围200～600 nm之间的反演相对误差最小。当添加0.5%的随机噪声时,粒径分布、粒径标准差和颗粒数浓度的变化范围分别为79.76～80.15 nm, 5.60～6.61 nm和0.995 8×1010～1.005 9×1010个·cm-3;当添加1.0%的随机噪声时,粒径分布、粒径标准差和颗粒数浓度的变化范围分别为78.87～80.27 nm, 5.36～9.00 nm和0.992 4×1010～1.027 7×1010个·cm-3。反演结果随着随机噪声的增大,变化范围也明显增大即反演相对误差增大,并且每次添加相同随机噪声后的反演结果不同。为了减少随机噪声导致的不稳定性,对100次反演结果进行平均得到平均粒径、粒径标准差和颗粒数浓度。当随机噪声从0.5%增大至1.0%时,其反演结果的相对误差均增大,但是反演得到的粒径分布、粒径标准差和颗粒数浓度相对误差均小于6%,这说明通过反演算法得到的反演结果具有较好的稳定性。研究表明,光谱消光法为反演多分散Au-Ag合金纳米球粒径分布与浓度提供了一种简单、快速的表征手段,也对研究非球形纳米颗粒有启示作用。
