Liquid-Liquid Structure Transition in Metallic Melts： Experimental Evidence by Viscosity Measurement

Temperature dependence of viscosity for more than ten kinds of metallic melts is analysed based on viscosity measurements. An obvious turning point is observed on the Arrhenius curves. Since viscosity is one of the physical properties sensitive to structure, its discontinuous change with temperature reveals the possible liquidliquid structure transition in the metallic melts. Furthermore, an integrated liquid structure transition diagram of the Sn-Bi system is presented. The universality of liquid-liquid structure transition is also discussed simply.     

Discontinuous Structural Phase Transition Behaviour in Multiple Component Alloy Melts

Discontinuous structural phase transition behaviour in seven kinds of liquid multiple component alloys are found by using a torsional oscillation viscometer. There are different phases existing in the system and the number of phases is discussed using the equilibrium thermodynamics phase rule. The phase parameters （ηo,ε） and order parameter dI in different phase regions are calculated based on the researched results. It is found that the parameters （ηo,ε, df） change at the structural transition point. The diameter of the fluid clusters, di, is stable in each phase region, which indicates that the structure is uniform.     

Rotating soliton clusters in nonlocal nonlinear media

From the study of the dynamics for the ring-like soliton clusters, we find that there exists a critical value of the ring radius, dcr, for the stationary rotation of the clusters with respect to the beam centre even in the presence of the relatively strong noise, and that the soliton clusters will not rotate but only undergo periodic collisions in the form of simple harmonic oscillator if the ring radius is large enough. We also show that the direction of the rotation can be opposite to the direction of phase gradient when the relative phase difference is within the domain 0 〈 ｜θ｜ 〈 π, while along the direction of phase gradient when the relative phase difference is within the domain π 〈｜θ｜ 〈 2π     

两台可中断同类机可拒绝半在线排序问题的近似算法

研究一个两台同类机可拒绝半在线排序问题,机器速度一个为1,另一个为s∈[1,+∞),加工允许中断.当工件到达时,可以将其接受加工,占用一定的机器负荷,也可以将其拒绝,付出相应的罚值,目标为使被接受工件集产生的makespan和被拒绝工件集的总罚值之和最小.问题进一步假定每个工件在选择是否加工时有两个拒绝尺度,各自独立决策,最后选择较好的结果作为最终输出.笔者设计了算法H,得到其关于s的参数竞争比为s+2s+1,优于只有一个拒绝尺度的经典情形.最后又给出问题的一个下界(s+1)2s2+s+1,上下界的最大差距在s=1时达到0.167.
