偏硼酸钡低温相晶体在高压下的电学性质与相变

 在金刚石压砧装置上，采用电容和电阻测量方法研究了偏硼酸钡低温相晶体（β-BaB₂O₄）在室温下和16 GPa内的电容、电阻与压力的关系。实验结果表明，它的电容在2.1、4.6、6.4、8、9.5、10.7 GPa左右都有一个突变。这说明β-BaB₂O₄内部的结构状态在这些压力下都发生了变化，可能发生了相变。还发现β-BaB₂O₄样品在较高压力下已发生了非晶化转变，而且是不可逆的，在卸压后被保留下来。这个非晶化转变的压力大约在11~12 GPa。     

Palladium island growth on Ni(111) Stochastic classical trajectory — ghost atom calculations

We generalize previous stochastic classical trajectory-ghost atom calculations for describing palladium deposition onto the Ni(111) surface between 0.1 and 0.5 monolayers. The growth evolves through two-dimensional islands. The islands are formed following the downward funneling mechanism. Surface temperature does not affect the island growth.     

Nonstatistical quantum-classical correspondence in phase space

We study the properties of a causal quantum theory in phase space for which phase space classical mechanics is obtained as a limit. The causal quantum theory is obtained from a generalized coherent state representation. The behavior for the one particle case and the manyparticle case are illustrated for the harmonic oscillator. We also answer to the arguments against the possibility of constructing causal theories in phase space.     

A biased random-key genetic algorithm with forward-backward improvement for the resource constrained project scheduling problem

This paper presents a biased random-key genetic algorithm for the resource constrained project scheduling problem. The chromosome representation of the problem is based on random keys. Active schedules are constructed using a priority-rule heuristic in which the priorities of the activities are defined by the genetic algorithm. A forward-backward improvement procedure is applied to all solutions. The chromosomes supplied by the genetic algorithm are adjusted to reflect the solutions obtained by the improvement procedure. The heuristic is tested on a set of standard problems taken from the literature and compared with other approaches. The computational results validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

用过剩压法生长金刚石过程石墨再结晶现象的研究

 描述了在过剩压驱动下金刚石晶种外延生过程中，大量伴生的石墨再结晶现象。再结晶石墨抑制了金刚石的自发成核；它们分布于合成腔触媒金属的低温区，结晶数量多，晶粒片状分层，尺寸大，但出现乱层晶体结构；同时产生一定数量的无定形碳。分析认为，这与长时间的低过剩压驱动，触媒金属内有足够的碳源供给，并具备在高温高压下石墨充分结晶但又达不到完全石墨化条件有关。还讨论了在低过剩压驱动下，促进金刚石晶体外延生长的碳源可能是活化的碳原子，而不是具有乱层结构特征的再结晶石墨。
