High-pressure study of topological semimetals XCd2Sb2 (X = Eu and Yb)

Topological materials have aroused great interest in recent years, especially when magnetism is involved. Pressure can effectively tune the topological states and possibly induce superconductivity. Here we report the high-pressure study of topological semimetals $X$Cd$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$ ($X = {\rm Eu} $ and Yb), which have the same crystal structure. In antiferromagnetic (AFM) Weyl semimetal EuCd$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$, the Néel temperature (${T}_{\rm N}$) increases from 7.4 K at ambient pressure to 50.9 K at 14.9 GPa. When pressure is above 14.9 GPa, the AFM peak of resistance disappears, indicating a non-magnetic state. In paramagnetic Dirac semimetal candidate YbCd$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$, pressure-induced superconductivity appears at 1.94 GPa, then ${ T}_{\rm c}$ reaches to a maximum of 1.67 K at 5.22 GPa and drops to zero at about 30 GPa, displaying a dome-shaped temperature-pressure phase diagram. High-pressure x-ray diffraction measurement demonstrates that a crystalline-to-amorphous phase transition occurs at about 16 GPa in YbCd$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$, revealing the robustness of pressure-induced superconductivity against structural instability. Similar structural phase transition may also occur in EuCd$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$, causing the disappearance of magnetism. Our results show that $X$Cd$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$ ($X = {\rm Eu}$ and Yb) is a novel platform for exploring the interplay among magnetism, topology, and superconductivity.     

分布式光纤测温在蒸汽管路监测上的应用及滤波北大核心CSCD

面对热电厂中存在的高温蒸汽管路输送距离长、泄漏点难以寻找的问题,搭建分布式光纤测温系统,对蒸汽管路的温度场进行监控。系统根据拉曼散射原理解调出了管道沿线铺设光缆中反射光信号内含有的温度信息,并根据光时域反射技术将温度与对应的管道进行位置匹配。同时系统通过卡尔曼滤波算法对解调出的温度信号进行了滤波,结果证明卡尔曼滤波能够将系统测量的温度波动降低至1℃。
