表面效应对铁<100>间隙型位错环的影响

在材料辐照损伤过程中,间隙型位错环的形成及动力学行为严重影响材料在辐照条件下的服役行为.在常用的以体心立方铁为基的合金材料中,1/2<111>和<100>是两种主要的位错环,其对辐照损伤的影响一直都是核材料领域研究的热点之一.在之前的研究中,人们对{111}面与单个1/2<111>位错环的相互作用进行了深入研究,发现表面对位错环性质确实有重要的影响.采用分子动力学方法,在原子尺度详细研究了另一个重要的表面铁{100}面对<100>间隙型位错环动力学过程的影响.模拟发现位错环伯格斯矢量与表面法线方向的关系、距表面的深度、位错环之间的相互作用以及温度等,都对位错环与表面的相互作用产生重要影响,其中,表面作用下的伯格斯矢量的演化以及<100>位错环在此过程中的一维运动首次被发现.基于这些模拟结果,就<100>位错环对表面辐照损伤结构的影响进行详细地研究,给出<100>位错环对表面凹凸结构的贡献,这些结果为理解辐照过程中材料表面的演化提供一种可能的解释.

低碳钢塑性变形量磁评定法研究

针对塑性变形量评定的局限问题,基于铁磁材料塑性变形致位错在不同方向分布不同的现象,研究了磁测法在定量评定低碳钢塑性变形量方面的应用前景。实验以工程中常用的低碳钢Q195钢板为测试材料,制作了形状尺寸一致的一批试件,并对其进行了不同程度的塑性变形量加载。通过搭建的磁化检测系统,采用相同强度及频率的正弦波激励,对所有样品进行了不同方向的磁化;同时经线圈及隧道磁敏电阻(TMR)采集了每次磁化的磁化曲线,提取了磁化曲线特征参数,对比了其与塑性变形量的定量关系。结果表明:随着塑性变形量的增加,铁磁钢材在同一磁场强度下产生的磁感应强度也会变大;沿主塑性变形方向磁化时,磁滞消耗能量最少,沿主塑性变形垂直方向磁化时,磁滞消耗的能量最多;磁路内磁场在主塑性变形方向上对塑变量的变化最敏感,而磁路外磁场在主塑变垂直方向上对塑变量的变化最敏感。实现了铁磁材料磁特征参数与塑性变形量的定量关联。本研究为开发简捷的铁磁材料塑性变形量无损评定磁方法奠定了基础。

Recent Advances in Spatial Self-Phase Modulation with 2D Materials and its Applications

In recent years, spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM) with two-dimensional (2D) materials has attracted the attention of many researchers as an emerging and ubiquitous nonlinear optical effect. In this review, the state of the art of 2D material-based SSPM is summarized. SSPM measures or tunes the nonlinearity of 2D materials, and it is also an effective approach to study the band structure of 2D materials. Several modified forms of SSPM, such as high-order, white-light-excited, vector field excited, and optically nonlinearly enhanced SSPM are also presented. Subsequently, the physical origin of the SSPM formation mechanism is compared and analyzed. Furthermore, the applications of SSPM with 2D materials, including passive photonic devices, generation of Bessel beams, and identifying the mode of the orbital angular momentum, are listed. Finally, several urgent problems of the SSPM with 2D materials, potential applications, and prospects for future development are presented.     

Pressure of the fluctuating vacuum: Interpretation of the attractive and repulsive Casimir force

We calculate the Casimir force between two magnetodielectric slabs. The force expression is expressed in terms of parameters with which the repulsive effect is more transparent and convenient for numerical analysis. Finally, we propose a physical interpretation of the effect which clarifies the sign of force properly.     

Electrical switching effect in a photochromic molecule between two graphene electrodes

We propose a single-molecule electrical switches consisting of a photochromic dimethyldihydropyrene/cyclophanediene molecule sandwiched between two graphene electrodes and investigate the electronic transport by using density-functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's function methods. The “open” and “closed” isomers of the photochromic molecule are shown to have electrical switching behavior and negative differential resistance effect. Moreover, it is also found that the switching ratio between two different conductive states depends on the ambient temperature, and the device behaves as a stable electrical switch around room temperature, which is in agreement with a recent experimental study of another photochromic molecule diarylethene reported by Jia et al. (2016) [17].     

Hydrodynamic and Thermodynamic Nonequilibrium Effects around Shock Waves: Based on a Discrete Boltzmann Method

A shock wave that is characterized by sharp physical gradients always draws the medium out of equilibrium. In this work, both hydrodynamic and thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects around the shock wave are investigated using a discrete Boltzmann model. Via Chapman–Enskog analysis, the local equilibrium and nonequilibrium velocity distribution functions in one-, two-, and three-dimensional velocity space are recovered across the shock wave. Besides, the absolute and relative deviation degrees are defined in order to describe the departure of the fluid system from the equilibrium state. The local and global nonequilibrium effects, nonorganized energy, and nonorganized energy flux are also investigated. Moreover, the impacts of the relaxation frequency, Mach number, thermal conductivity, viscosity, and the specific heat ratio on the nonequilibrium behaviours around shock waves are studied. This work is helpful for a deeper understanding of the fine structures of shock wave and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.     

Inactivation of foodborne pathogens based on synergistic effects of ultrasound and natural compounds during fresh produce washing

Ultrasound has potential to be used for disinfection, and its antimicrobial effectiveness can be enhanced in presence of natural compounds. In this study, we compared the antimicrobial effects of ultrasound at 20 kHz (US 20 kHz) or 1 MHz (US 1 MHz) in combination with carvacrol, citral, cinnamic acid, geraniol, gallic acid, lactic acid, or limonene against E. coli K12 and Listeria innocua at a constant power density in water. Compared to the cumulative effect of the individual treatments, the combined treatment of US 1 MHz and 10 mM citral generated >1.5 log CFU/mL additional inactivation of E. coli K12. Similarly, combined treatments of US 1 MHz and 2 mM carvacrol (30 min), US 20 kHz and 2 mM carvacrol, 10 mM citral, or 5 mM geraniol (15 min) generated >0.5–2.0 log CFU/mL additional inactivation in L. innocua. The synergistic effect of citral, as a presentative compound, and US 20 kHz treatment was determined to be a result of enhanced dispersion of insoluble citral droplets in combination with physical impact on bacterial membrane structures, whereas the inactivation by US 1 MHz was likely due to generation of oxidative stress within the bacteria. Combined ultrasound and citral treatments improved the bacterial inactivation in simulated wash water in presence of organic matter or during washing of inoculated blueberries but only additive antimicrobial effects were observed. Findings in this study will be useful to enhance fresh produce safety and shelf-life and design other alternative ultrasound based sanitation processes.
