Ionic films on vicinal metal surfaces: enhanced binding due to charge modulation

NaCl films on Cu(311) exhibit a remarkably strong and localized binding between adlayer and substrate. The binding sites of the ions in the NaCl film with respect to the Cu surface are determined from atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy images. A new model is proposed in which the binding mechanism is controlled by the charge modulation of a regularly stepped surface due to the Smoluchowski effect. This model can be extended to explain the growth of ionic adlayers on regularly stepped and kinked metal surfaces in general.     

Surface phonons of GaP(1 1 0) and InAs(1 1 0)

The dispersions of low energy surface phonon modes of GaP(1 1 0) and InAs(1 1 0) measured with inelastic He-atom scattering along the and 0 0 1 directions are presented. Aside from the Rayleigh mode, additional distinct acoustic modes are observed as well as indications of optical modes. Contrary to results for GaAs(1 1 0), a rocking mode was not observed. The experimentally determined phonon dispersions are in excellent agreement with recent ab initio calculations by C. Eckl, et al. [1].     

温度与应变率对钽流动应力的影响

 研究了温度在-100～400 ℃、应变率在10^-5～10³ s^-1范围内温度和应变率的变化对钽的流动应力的影响。结果表明,钽的流动应力对温度和应变率的变化相当敏感。同时还就两种本构模型对钽的温度效应与应变率效应的不同处理方法作了比较,指出Zerilli-Armstrong模型能更好地描述温度与应变率对钽流动应力的影响。     

冲击波作用下CHBr3/NaCl界面热弛豫特性研究

非透明材料冲击温度测量是通过对界面光辐射历史的观察实现的 ,因此对界面光辐射历史的研究是非透明材料冲击温度测量的基础。但由于冲击阻抗的失配导致界面上出现波的反射而引起温度的变化与界面热流动产生的温度变化交杂在一起 ,以及过程的瞬时性 ,使得对这一过程的实验研究显得非常困难。设计了一种界面波阻抗近似相同的特殊实验装置 ,用光辐射测量技术研究了在冲击压缩下CHBr3/NaCl界面的热弛豫过程。实验结果和理论分析表明CHBr3/NaCl界面的热弛豫时间在纳秒量级 ,与Grover等人的理论预估一致。     

Li_3N在生成BN反应中的作用

研究了常压高温下Li3N在B4 C与含氮化合物生成BN反应中的作用。实验结果表明 ,在 950℃高温下 ,B4 C与Si3N4 反应不生成hBN ,B4 C与NH4 Cl反应只生成少量hBN。在该两种原料中加入Li3N后 ,反应产物中hBN的生成量都明显增多。但Li3N本身没有与B4 C生成hBN的反应。由此推断 ,Li3N在上述B4 C与含氮化合物生成hBN的反应中表现出了催化作用。此外 ,在以hBN为原料 ,以Li3N为催化剂合成出cBN的温度压力区域内 ,对B4 C Si3N4 Li3N体系所做的高温高压实验没有合成出hBN或cBN。还讨论了在低压条件下原位合成cBN的探索实验中 ,应如何选择硼源和氮源的问题     

Optimal control of single-server fluid networks

We consider a stochastic single-server fluid network with both a discounted reward and a cost structure. It can be shown that the optimal policy is a priority index policy. The indices coincide with the optimal indices in a semi-Markovian Klimov problem. Several special cases like single-server reentrant fluid lines are considered. The approach we use is based on sample path arguments and Pontryagins maximum principle. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On the linearization of operators related to the full waveform inversion in seismology

In this work, we analyze the parameter‐to‐solution map of the acoustic wave equation with respect to its parameters wave speed and mass density. This map is a mathematical model for the seismic inverse problem where one wants to recover the parameters from measurements of the acoustic potential. We show its complete continuity and Fréchet differentiability. To this end, we provide necessary existence, stability, and regularity results. Moreover, we discuss various implications of our findings on the inverse problem and comment on the Born series. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
