Helium blistering of niobium: Large swelling measurements supporting the gas pressure model

Crystal potentials are usually obtained through a combination of theoretical calculation and the fitting of crystal properties. Because of thermal expansion of the crystal, the equilibrium condition is not satisfied at all temperatures unless the crystal potential is made temperature-dependent. A quasiharmonic potential that satisfies the equilibrium condition at all temperatures is derived from KC1 and used to calculate temperature-dependent defect energies (at constant volume). Other thermodynamic defect parameters are then derived by combining these results with the experimental Gibbs energies. The temperature-dependence of these parameters is displayed.     

DARBOUX POLYNOMIALS FOR LOTKA–VOLTERRA SYSTEMS IN THREE DIMENSIONS

We consider Lotka–Volterra systems in three dimensions depending on three real parameters. By using elementary algebraic methods we classify the Darboux polynomials (also known as second integrals) for such systems for various values of the parameters, and give the explicit form of the corresponding cofactors. More precisely, we show that a Darboux polynomial of degree greater than one is reducible. In fact, it is a product of linear Darboux polynomials and first integrals.     

Effect of long-period stacking ordered phase on thermal stability of refined grains in Mg-RE-based alloys

The refined grains in both as-cast Mg-10Y-1Zn-2Zr (WZ101?K, wt.%) and Mg-10Y-1Al (WA101, wt.%) alloys have been found to have superior thermal stability after solution treatment. Plate-shaped, but different polytypes of long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases distributed along grain boundaries are considered as the predominant inhibitors of grain growth. Based on the plate-shaped features of the LPSO phases, a modified Zener’s model is established and the predicted limiting grain sizes are in a good agreement with the experimental results. Therefore, this model has strong potential for designing advanced Mg-RE-based alloys with high strength and high creep resistance at high temperatures.

A new representation of permittivity versus temperature for alkanols of the same chain length

The alkanols of three carbon length have been studied by dielectric methods during many years and they do not obey any theoretical model. These substances have the same chain length and have one, two or three dipoles per molecule, so their ability to form hydrogen bridges changes from one substance to other, and one can obtain information by comparative studies. In previous works, we have measured the thermal dependence of permittivity of these substances and analysed the results with an empirical modification of the Onsager equation. Now we shall analyse and compare the results using a different representation. In this representation, the data shows straight lines, whose slopes depend on the quantity of dipoles of each molecule encouraging the high quality of the fittings obtained with the three substances, and also that they behave in the same dielectric way with the rise of temperature.

密度矩阵重正化群的异构并行优化

密度矩阵重正化群方法（DMRG）在求解一维强关联格点模型的基态时可以获得较高的精度，在应用于二维或准二维问题时，要达到类似的精度通常需要较大的计算量与存储空间.本文提出一种新的DMRG异构并行策略，可以同时发挥计算机中央处理器（CPU）和图形处理器（GPU）的计算性能.针对最耗时的哈密顿量对角化部分，实现了数据的分布式存储，并且给出了CPU和GPU之间的负载平衡策略.以费米Hubbard模型为例，测试了异构并行程序在不同DMRG保留状态数下的运行表现，并给出了相应的性能基准.应用于4腿梯子时，观测到了高温超导中常见的电荷密度条纹，此时保留状态数达到10⁴，使用的GPU显存小于12 GB.

Gaussian,non-Gaussian critical fluctuations in the Curie-Weiss model

It is known that at the critical temperature the Curie-Weiss mean-field model has non-Gaussian fluctuations and that internal fluctuations can be Gaussian. Here we compute the distribution of theq-mode magnetization fluctuations as a function of the temperature, the wave vectorq, and a fading out external field. We obtain new classes of probability distributions generated by this external field as well as new critical behavior in terms of its rate of fading out. We discuss also the susceptibility as the limitq tending to zero.     

A mean-field,effective medium theory of random binary alloys III. The ising model with competing interactions

The Ising model with competing interactions is studied in a mean field effective medium approach. The phase diagram of such model alloys is studied. We conclude that for all ratios of the competing interaction moments, a spin glass phase always exists at low temperatures for certain concentration regimes.
