Structural, elastic and electronic properties of a new ternary-layered Ti2SiN

The structural, elastic and electronic properties of Ti₂SiN were studied by first-principle calculations. The calculated bond lengths of Ti-Si and Ti-C are 2.65 and 2.09 Å, respectively. The results show Ti₂SiN is mechanically stable, and its bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young's modulus E, Poisson's ratio μ and anisotropy factor A are determined to be 182 GPa, 118 GPa, 291 GPa, 0.233 and 1.57, respectively. The calculated electronic structure indicates that Ti₂SiN is anisotropic and conductive.     

Ab initio studies on the electronic structure of CeSi5

We investigated the electronic properties of CeSi₅ by band structure calculation based on the density functional theory within LDA, LDA+U, and fully relativistic schemes. The calculated band structure scheme shows that the spin-orbit coupling splits the Ce 4f states into three manifolds. When the on-site Coulomb potential is added to the Ce-derived 4f orbitals, the degeneracy between the f orbitals would be lifted and they are split into lower Hubbard bands and upper Hubbard bands. It was found that quasiparticle mass enhancement inferred by comparing γ to the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level indicates the effective mass of CeSi₅ is enhanced with the fully relativistic results.     

散裂靶中质子束窗的散射效应

质子束窗是在高功率靶区中的一个分界窗,它将质子输运线上高真空区域和氦容器中的氦环境分开。在其他散裂中子源中质子束窗的热效应以及机械问题都已经被研究过了,但质子束在该窗中散射效应的研究却很少被报导,然而在靶设计中如果没有处理好质子束窗的散射效应会有很大的问题。报导了质子束窗散射效应的模拟计算结果,包括不同质子束窗的材料和结构选择,并以中国散裂中子源（CSNS）为例,介绍了在CSNS一期和二期中质子束窗采用周边水冷的铝合金单层结构,CSNS三期采用中间水冷的铝合金夹层结构。文中给出了不同结构的质子束窗和不同的与靶距离散射效应对靶上经非线性磁铁均匀化的束流分布的影响的模拟计算结果。模拟结果显示质子窗的散射效应对束流损失和靶上的束流分布有重要的影响。

对相对论返波管实验中射频击穿现象进行了分析和数值模拟研究,发现谐振反射器和慢波结构的局部场增强诱导了场致电子发射,引起了金属表面的射频击穿,通过研究分析,提出采用分布反馈式谐振反射器,并采用梯形倒角非均匀慢波结构替换正弦慢波结构的方法来抑制射频击穿。数值模拟研究表明,在微波功率2 GW时,改进后的反射器最大场强由1.4 MV/cm降低为570 kV/cm,慢波结构表面最大电场由1.1 MV/cm降低到780 kV/cm。改进后的结构在二极管电压765 kV时获得了微波功率2.2 GW、脉宽45 ns的实验结果,微波功率和脉宽得到显著提升。

 为了减少多模光纤出射光场的散斑干扰,提出了把声光布拉格衍射效应所形成的不同衍射级耦合到多模光纤中,由于衍射级具有不同的偏振态,消弱了光场相干条件,进而在出射光场中消弱了散斑场的对比度,并通过对改变声场频率后得到的散斑场对比度的分析,证实了利用各向异性晶体TeO2能够控制散斑场对比度,改善出射场的高斯分布,得出了可以利用布拉格衍射效应减少散斑场干扰的可能性。

Identifying the underlying structure and dynamic interactions in a voting network

We analyse the structure and behaviour of a specific voting network using a dynamic structure-based methodology which draws on Q-Analysis and social network theory. Our empirical focus is on the Eurovision Song Contest over a period of 20 years. For a multicultural contest of this kind, one of the key questions is how the quality of a song is judged and how voting groups emerge. We investigate structures that may identify the winner based purely on the topology of the network. This provides a basic framework to identify what the characteristics associated with becoming a winner are, and may help to establish a homogenous criterion for subjective measures such as quality. Further, we measure the importance of voting cliques, and present a dynamic model based on a changing multidimensional measure of connectivity in order to reveal the formation of emerging community structure within the contest. Finally, we study the dynamic behaviour exhibited by the network in order to understand the clustering of voting preferences and the relationship between local and global properties.     

Interpretation of Light Scattering Spectra of Dispersions – A Hybrid Approach to Account for Interparticle Interactions

The problem of extracting quantitative information on individual particle properties from spectroscopic measurements conducted at concentrations where particle interactions become significant is of great industrial and theoretical importance. For dispersions of charged particles, this can happen at fairly low concentrations. The effect of the fluid (slurry) structure has to be taken into account to interpret the light scattering spectra of such dispersions. In this paper, a hybrid method that addresses the effect of the fluid structure is proposed. The hybrid approach describes the fluid structure by relating the “effective” Percus‐Yevick hard‐sphere parameters to the system parameters using empirical models. The feasibility of this approach is examined through a theoretical study with data generated by Monte Carlo simulations of a monodisperse dispersion of charged spherical particles using realistic interaction potentials under single scattering conditions.     

Structural analysis of Si(1 1 1)-√21 × √21-(Ag, Au) surface by using reflection high-energy positron diffraction

The Au adsorption induced √21 × √21 super-lattice structure on the Si(1 1 1)-√3 × √3-Ag structure has been investigated using reflection high-energy positron diffraction. The height of the Au adatom was determined to be 0.59 Å from the underlying Ag layer from the rocking curve analysis with the dynamical diffraction theory. The adatoms were preferentially situated at the center of the large Ag triangle of the inequivalent triangle structure of the Si(1 1 1)-√3 × √3-Ag substrate. From the intensity distribution in the fractional-order Laue zone, the in-plane coordinate of the Au adatoms was obtained.
