The solar wind almost disappeared on May 11, 1999: the solar wind plasma density and dynamic pressure were less than 1cm−3 and 0.1 nPa respectively, while the interplanetary magnetic field was northward. The polar ionospheric data observed by the multi-instruments at Zhongshan Station in Antarctica on such special event day was compared with those of the control day (May 14). It was shown that geomagnetic activity was very quiet on May 11 at Zhongshan. The magnetic pulsation, which usually occurred at about magnetic noon, did not appear. The ionosphere was steady and stratified, and the F2 layer spread very little. The critical frequency of day-side F2 layer, f0F2, was larger than that of control day, and the peak of f0F2 appeared 2 hours earlier. The ionospheric drift velocity was less than usual. There were intensive auroral Es appearing at magnetic noon. All this indicates that the polar ionosphere was extremely quiet and geomagnetic field was much more dipolar on May 11. There were some signatures of auroral substorm before midnight, such as the negative deviation of the geomagnetic H component, accompanied with auroral Es and weak Pc3 pulsation.
Effect of annealing on the soft magnetic properties of Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Au1 amorphous ribbon has been investigated by means of structure examination, magnetoimpedance ratio (MIR) and incremental permeability ratio (PR) spectra measured in the frequency range of 1–10 MHz at a fixed current of 10 mA X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the as-cast sample was amorphous and it became nanocrystalline under a proper heat treatment. When annealing amorphous alloy at 530 °C for 30, 60, 90 min, soft magnetic properties have been improved drastically. Among the samples investigated, the sample annealed at 530 °C for 90 min showed the softest magnetic behavior. The MIR and PR curves revealed the desirable changes in anisotropy field depending upon annealing. 相似文献
The dendrite growth process of transparent NaBi(WO4)2 with small prandtl and high melting point was studied by using the in-situ observation system. According to the dynamic images and detailed information, there are two kinds of restriction effect on
the dendrite growth, the competition between arms and branches and the convection in the melt. The dendrite growth rate was
time dependent, and the rate of arm growth reached the maximum 5.8 mm/s in the diffusive-advective region and rapidly decreased
in the diffusive-convective region. The growth rate of branch had the same change trends as the arm’s. Based on the EPMA-EDS
data of solidification structure of quenched NaBi(WO4)2 melt, it was found that there were component differences from stoichiometric concentration in the melt near the interface
during the growth process.

In this paper inequalities for the effective conductivity of isotropic composite materials are derived. These inequalities depend on several coefficients characterizing the microstructure of composites. The obtained coefficients can be exactly calculated for models of a two-component aggregate of multisized, coated ellipsoidal inclusions, packed to fill all space. As a result, new bounds for effective conductivity, considerably narrower than those of Hashin-Shtrikman, are established for such models of composite materials. 相似文献
By showing that there is an upper bound for the price of anarchyρ(Γ) for a non-atomic congestion game Γ with only separable cost maps and fixed demands, Roughgarden and Tardos show that the cost of forgoing centralized control is mild. This letter shows that there is an upper bound for ρ(Γ) in Γ for fixed demands with symmetric cost maps. It also shows that there is a weaker bound for ρ(Γ) in Γ with elastic demands. 相似文献
High quality factor of dynamic structures at micro and nano scale is exploited in various applications of micro electro-mechanical
systems (MEMS) and nano electro-mechanical system. The quality factor of such devices can be very high in vacuum. However,
when vacuum is not desirable or not possible, the tiny structures must vibrate in air or some other gas at pressure levels
that may vary from atmospheric to low vacuum. The interaction of the surrounding fluid with the vibrating structure leads
to dissipation, thus bringing down the quality factor. Depending on the ambient fluid pressure or the gap between the vibrating
and the fixed structure, the fluid motion can range from continuum flow to molecular flow giving a wide range of dissipation.
The relevant fluid flow characteristics are determined by the Knudsen number which is the ratio of the mean free path of the
gas molecule to the characteristic flow length of the device. This number is very small for continuum flow and reasonably
big for molecular flow. In this paper, we study the effect of fluid pressure on the quality factor by carrying out experiments
on a MEMS device that consists of a double gimbaled torsional resonator. Such devices are commonly used in optical cross-connects
and switches. We only vary fluid pressure to make the Knudsen number go through the entire range of continuum flow, slip flow,
transition flow, and molecular flow. We experimentally determine the quality factor of the torsional resonator at different
air pressures ranging from 760 Torr to 0.001 Torr. The variation of this pressure over six orders of magnitude ensures required
rarefaction to range over all flow conditions. Finally, we get the variation of quality factor with pressure. The result indicates
that the quality factor, Q, follows a power law, Q ∝P–r , with different values of the exponent r in different flow regimes. In the second part of the paper, we propose the use of effective viscosity for considering velocity
slip conditions in solving Navier–Stokes equation numerically. This concept is validated with analytical results for a simple
case and then compared with the experimental results presented in this paper. The study shows that the effective viscosity
concept can be used effectively even for the molecular regime if the air-gap to length ratio is sufficiently small (h0/L<0.01). As this ratio increases, the range of validity decreases. 相似文献
Electrostatic spring softening is an important characteristic of electrostatically actuated dual-axis micromirror, since it lowers the resonant frequencies. This paper presents an approach based on approximating the electrostatic forces by the first-order Taylor's series expansion to investigate this characteristic. The dual-axis micromirror studied in this paper has three motion modes, two torsional (about x- and y-axis, respectively) and one translational (about z-axis). The stiffnesses of all these modes are softened by a DC bias voltage applied to the mirror plate. The resonant frequencies are lowered with the increment of the bias voltage. The relationship of the bias voltage and the resonant frequencies of all the motion modes is derived. The analytical results show that the resonant frequency curves are affected by the capacitor geometries, i.e. the gap between the mirror plate and the electrodes and the electrodes size. The lowering curves drop slowly when the bias voltage is small. While for large bias voltage, the lowering curves drop rapidly. The experiment results are consistent with those obtained by the analytical approach. 相似文献
