A new simplified ordered upwind method for calculating quasi-potential

We present a new method for calculation of quasi-potential,which is a key concept in the large deviation theory.This method adopts the"ordered"idea in the ordered upwind algorithm and different from the finite difference upwind scheme,the first-order line integral is used as its update rule.With sufficient accuracy,the new simplified method can greatly speed up the computational time.Once the quasi-potential has been computed,the minimum action path(MAP)can also be obtained.Since the MAP is of concern in most stochastic situations,the effectiveness of this new method is checked by analyzing the accuracy of the MAP.Two cases of isotropic diffusion and anisotropic diffusion are considered.It is found that this new method can both effectively compute the MAPs for systems with isotropic diffusion and reduce the computational time.Meanwhile anisotropy will affect the accuracy of the computed MAP.     

Conformational change-modulated spin transport at single-molecule level in carbon systems

Controlling the spin transport at the single-molecule level, especially without the use of ferromagnetic contacts, becomes a focus of research in spintronics. Inspired by the progress on atomic-level molecular synthesis, through first-principles calculations, we investigate the spin-dependent electronic transport of graphene nanoflakes with side-bonded functional groups, contacted by atomic carbon chain electrodes. It is found that, by rotating the functional group, the spin polarization of the transmission at the Fermi level could be switched between completely polarized and unpolarized states. Moreover, the transition between spin-up and spin-down polarized states can also be achieved, operating as a dual-spin filter. Further analysis shows that, it is the spin-dependent shift of density of states, caused by the rotation, that triggers the shift of transmission peaks, and then results in the variation of spin polarization. Such a feature is found to be robust to the length of the nanoflake and the electrode material, showing great application potential. Those findings may throw light on the development of spintronic devices.

Hybrid process for texturization of diamond wire sawn multicrystalline silicon solar cell

Acid texture is difficult for diamond wire sawn (DWS) multicrystalline silicon (mc‐Si) wafer owing to the inhomogeneous distribution of damage layer on the surface. In this article, metal‐assisted chemical etching (MACE) has been selected for introducing a porous seeding layer to induce acid texturing etching. SEM results show that the oval pit structures coverage get obvious improvement even on the smooth areas. Owing to the further improved light absorption ability by second MACE and nanostructure rebuilding (NSR) process, nanostructured DWS mc‐Si solar cell has exhibited a conversion efficiency of 17.96%, which is 0.45% higher than that of DWS wafer with simple acid texture process.

Influences of laser remelting on microstructure of nanostructured Al2O3-13 wt.% TiO2 coatings fabricated by plasma spraying

The effects of laser remelting on microstructure of nanostructured Al₂O₃-13 wt.% TiO₂ ceramic coatings prepared by plasma spraying with agglomerated powders were studied. The microstructure of the feedstock, as-sprayed and laser-remelted coatings were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The results indicate that the plasma-sprayed ceramic coating consists of both fully melted regions and partially melted regions. The totally ceramic coating, especially the fully melted regions, has a typical plasma-sprayed lamellar-like structure as the conventional coating, and has some pores. According to the difference of microstructures, the partially melted regions can be divided into liquid-phase sintered regions (a three-dimensional net or skeleton-like structure: Al₂O₃-rich submicron particles embedded in the TiO₂-rich matrix) and solid-phase sintered regions (remained nanoparticles). The lamellar defect of the as-sprayed coating is erased, and the compactness of the coating is improved significantly after laser remelting. The laser-remelted region composed of fine equiaxed grains, which are different from the conventional column-like crystals along the direction of the heat current. Due to the rapid solidification of laser remelting process, there are still some nanoparticles in the remelted region because of an insufficient time for grains growth.

一种监测钢筋腐蚀的光纤光栅传感器的研究

钢筋腐蚀是导致钢筋混凝土结构耐久性劣化的最重要因素之一。钢筋腐蚀将导致钢筋体积大大增加,混凝土保护层开裂、剥落,结构承载力下降,甚至倒塌。基于光纤布拉格光栅应变传感器的原理,根据钢筋腐蚀体积膨胀,提出了一种新的钢筋腐蚀光纤光栅传感器及温度补偿方法。传感器构造是在两根紧靠的钢筋中心附近粘贴光纤光栅,由于钢筋腐蚀体积膨胀,钢筋直径增加将转变成布拉格光纤光栅的应变,从而实现对钢筋腐蚀程度及速率的监测。传感器的监测原理是设置一个钢筋腐蚀光纤光栅传感器来监测由于钢筋腐蚀和温度变化引起的光栅应变,同时单独设置一个不锈钢光纤光栅传感器来测量温度引起的光栅应变。这两个光纤光栅传感器的应变监测,可分离出钢筋由于腐蚀所引起的体积变化。在混凝土结构中埋入封装的传感器,通过监测光纤光栅波长的漂移可以直接测量钢筋腐蚀程度,而且不受腐蚀因素的影响,可用于混凝土结构中钢筋腐蚀的早期监测。最后通过实验标定了钢筋腐蚀率与光栅波长位移的关系。     

基于光纤SPR光谱分析的污水降解过程监测研究

讨论了光纤表面等离子体波传感器的工作原理,并对将其用于监测以甲基橙为代表的环境污水降解过程的可行性进行了探讨。用光纤SPR传感器监测了50 mL初始浓度为30 mg·L-1的甲基橙原溶液在降解过程浓度的变化,对降解过程中光纤SPR传感器的光谱进行了详细的分析;同时采用紫外-分光光度计对降解过程中溶液浓度的变化进行了监测,并对2种方法所测的数据进行了分析对比。结果表明,光纤SPR同常规方法的测量结果一致,随着降解时间的增加,甲基橙溶液的吸光度和浓度逐渐减小,光纤SPR传感器的共振波长逐渐发生蓝移,同初始标定的甲基橙原溶液共振光谱比较,说明甲基橙逐渐被降解,且在2 h内降解率达到73%,说明用光纤SPR传感器监测污水降解过程是完全可行的。研究结果不仅为环境污水降解过程提供了一种新的监测方法,同时促进了我国SPR传感技术与环保监测研究结合,为光纤SPR技术走向实用,并最终实现产业化积累了经验。
