Strain-modulated anisotropic Andreev reflection in a graphene-based superconducting junction

We investigate the Andreev reflection across a uniaxial strained graphene-based superconducting junction. Compared with pristine graphene-based superconducting junction, three opposite properties are found. Firstly, in the regime of the interband conversion of electron-hole, the Andreev retro-reflection happens. Secondly, in the regime of the intraband conversion of electron-hole, the specular Andreev reflection happens. Thirdly, the perfect Andreev reflection, electron-hole conversion with unit efficiency, happens at a nonzero incident angle of electron. These three exotic properties arise from the strain-induced anisotropic band structure of graphene, which breaks up the original relation between the direction of velocity of particle and the direction of the corresponding wavevector. Our finding gives an insight into the understanding of Andreev reflection and provides an alternative method to modulate the Andreev reflection.     

全尺寸隔水管在复杂应力状态下的力学特性试验研究

为对隔水管在复杂应力状态下的力学特性进行试验研究,研制了能够模拟高液压环境下管柱力学行为的特殊试验装置——深水管柱力学模拟试验系统,并借助该系统对全尺寸隔水管在受内外压条件下进行了力学特性模拟试验。结果表明:试验系统运行良好,能够有效地按照要求进行加载、卸载。试验中通过对隔水管试件进行内外压加载,同时对系统两端的轴向活塞加压,消除了由于内外压产生的轴向力,实现了在内外压条件下的隔水管力学特性模拟试验。通过在管柱外壁粘贴电阻应变片,得到了其真实径向应变与环向应变随内外压变化的关系曲线,并通过分析计算得到了试件的真实应力状态。由于隔水管加工制造等方面的误差,真实的应变数据、应力状态与理论推导结果并不重合。为了提高深水作业的安全性与经济性,可以借用试验结果对理论推导值进行修正,也说明了用试验方法进行隔水管力学特性研究的重要性。该试验系统为深水作业管柱等的模拟试验提供了一个良好的平台,能够有效降低深水钻采作业的风险,提高深水钻采作业的经济性与安全性,具有较高的推广应用价值。     

Characterization of microfluidic gas reactors using remote-detection MRI and parahydrogen-induced polarization

A substantial boost in sensitivity (almost 10(5) -fold) achieved by combining remote-detection MRI and parahydrogen-induced polarization enabled microfluidic reactor imaging. Quantitative estimates of nuclear spin hyperpolarization, reaction product distribution, mass transport, and adsorption in the microfluidic reactors could thus be determined in?situ. The reactors also serve as microfluidic nuclear spin polarizers.     

Emission and strain in InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells with InAs quantum dots obtained at different temperatures

The photoluminescence (PL), its temperature dependence and X ray diffraction (XRD) have been studied in the symmetric In_0.15Ga_0.85As/GaAs quantum wells (QWs) with embedded InAs quantum dots (QDs), obtained with the variation of QD growth temperatures (470–535 °C). The increase of QD growth temperatures is accompanied by the enlargement of QD lateral sizes (from 12 up to 28 nm) and by the shift non monotonously of PL peak positions. The fitting procedure has been applied for the analysis of the temperature dependence of PL peaks. The obtained fitting parameters testify that in studied QD structures the process of In/Ga interdiffusion between QDs and capping/buffer layers takes place partially. However this process cannot explain the difference in PL peak positions.

A higher order finite element including transverse normal strain for linear elastic composite plates with general lamination configurations

This paper describes a higher-order global-local theory for thermal/mechanical response of moderately thick laminated composites with general lamination configurations. In-plane displacement fields are constructed by superimposing the third-order local displacement field to the global cubic displacement field. To eliminate layer-dependent variables, interlaminar shear stress compatibility conditions have been employed, so that the number of variables involved in the proposed model is independent of the number of layers of laminates. Imposing shear stress free condition at the top and the bottom surfaces, derivatives of transverse displacement are eliminated from the displacement field, so that C⁰ interpolation functions are only required for the finite element implementation. To assess the proposed model, the quadratic six-node C⁰ triangular element is employed for the interpolation of all the displacement parameters defined at each nodal point on the composite plate. Comparing to various existing laminated plate models, it is found that simple C⁰ finite elements with non-zero normal strain could produce more accurate displacement and stresses for thick multilayer composite plates subjected to thermal and mechanical loads. Finally, it is remarked that the proposed model is quite robust, such that the finite element results are not sensitive to the mesh configuration and can rapidly converge to 3-D elasticity solutions using regular or irregular meshes.     

Model checking for a general linear model with nonignorable missing covariates

In this paper, we investigate the model checking problem for a general linear model with nonignorable missing covariates. We show that, without any parametric model assumption for the response probability, the least squares method yields consistent estimators for the linear model even if only the complete data are applied. This makes it feasible to propose two testing procedures for the corresponding model checking problem: a score type lack-of-fit test and a test based on the empirical process. The asymptotic properties of the test statistics are investigated. Both tests are shown to have asymptotic power 1 for local alternatives converging to the null at the rate n-r, 0 ≤ r < 1/2 . Simulation results show that both tests perform satisfactorily.     

Novel approach for modelling of nanomachining using a mesh-less method

In this paper, a mesh-less method, called Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is used to simulate the nanomachining operation in order to assist with the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of nano scale material deformation and the characteristics of the post machined surface. An elasto-plastic nano-machining analysis is used to form a nano-groove using a conical tool on a copper specimen. The SPH solutions are validated against nano scale machining experiments conducted using a nanoindenter. The simulated results showed that the normal force is greater than the cutting force in this nano scale machining operation, which is consistent with the experimental results. Both the ploughing and cutting mechanisms were observed in these machining conditions and increased with the increase of the depth of cut. Moreover, the results reveal that the larger negative rake angle reduced the ploughing mechanism and caused higher residual stress and strain along the machined surface. Therefore, the effect of machining parameters on the nano deformation mechanism and the quality of the machined surface can be rapidly assessed using SPH.
