Crystal-Plasticity-Based Dynamic Constitutive Model of AZ31B Magnesium Alloy at Elevated Temperature and with Explicit Plastic-Strain-Rate Control

In this study,a series of experiments were carried out on the AZ31B magnesium alloy,including both a macro-experiment(mechanical experiment)and a micro-experiment(dislocation observation).Next,based on the consideration of the deformation mechanism of magnesium alloys(dislocation slip and twinning),a dynamic constitutive model of the magnesium alloy was established.In the developed model,the strain-rate-sensitivity control and the effect of temperature on the dynamic mechanical performance of the alloy were also investigated.The model parameters were determined by fitting the macroscopic experimental results.Next,the evolution of the micro-deformation mechanism was calculated by the developed model,and the trend of macro-mechanical behavior was also discussed.     

THz wave emission from argon in two-color laser field

Terahertz(THz) wave emission from argon atom in a two-color laser pulses is studied numerically by solving the one-dimensional(1D) time-dependent Schr ¨odinger equation. The THz spectra we obtained include both discontinuous and continuum ones. By using the special basis functions that we previously proposed, our analysis points out that the discontinuous and continuum parts are contributed by bound–bound and continuum–continuum transition of atomic energy levels. Although the atomic wave function is strongly dressed during the interaction with laser fields, our identification for the discontinuous part of the THz wave shows that the transition between highly excited bound states can still be well described by the field-free basis function in the tunneling ionization regime.     

Terahertz radiation from pentacene organic diode at room temperature

We investigate terahertz radiation(T-rays) from a pentacene organic diode at room temperature. The quantum chemistry calculation for frequency-related Huang–Rhys factor of pentacene is also carried out. The results demonstrate that the T-rays can come from a bending vibration of pentacene skeleton after the energy of pentacene exciton transferring to the vibrational excited state via electron–phonon coupling. Frequency and natural bond orbital analytics of pentacene and its derivatives are performed in order to explain the result and develop new materials to get higher emission. This work provides a new way to produce T-rays with a simple device at room temperature.     

Light source system for high-precision flat-field correction and the calibration of an array detector

Signal distortion due to the non-uniform response of the detector degrades the measurement accuracy of most metrology instruments. In this Letter, we report a newly developed calibration source system for reference-based non-uniformity correction using a laser source, a fiber, and a diffusive module. By applying the Monte Carlo simulation, we show that the transmittance of the system highly depends on the cavity reflection of the diffusive module. We also demonstrate the use of this system to achieve a flat field at a very low non-uniformity(less than 0.2%) with proper illumination intensity, which most costly commercial integrating sphere systems traditionally cannot provide.     

基于串联两阶段网络DEA模型的供应链规模收益分析

数据包络分析(DEA)是评价供应链系统(Supply chain system)间相对有效性的一种重要的工具,但是传统的DEA不考虑供应链的内部结构,对系统效率评价偏高;而本文所研究两阶段串联供应链系统,考虑把部分中间产品作为最终产品输出,增加额外中间投入的情形.基于所提出的供应链系统结构,本文建立相应的串联结构下的网络DEA模型,并针对所建立模型进行相关理论的研究,给出了串联结构下的生产可能集和规模收益情况判定方法.最后,进行数值实验,以验证我们提出的结论.     

Optical fiber acoustic sensing multiplexing system based on TDM/SFDM

We propose a system of time-division multiplexing(TDM) and spatial frequency-division multiplexing(SFDM). Extrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometric sensors are applied to detect weak acoustic signals. The broadband source is employed, the light from it is modulated by a pulse signal sequence and is efficiently amplified by semiconductor optical amplifiers. Experimental results show that the equivalent noise pressure spectrum level is-97.2 d B re 1 rad/√Hz below 1250 Hz, and the cross talk between two sensors in one TDM channel is-32.7 d B with a cavity length difference of 60 μm. The number of sensors in this multiplexing system can theoretically reach 160.     

A DFT Study on the Adsorption of CO_2 Molecules on CaO(001) Surface at Different Coverages

The CO_2 adsorption on CaO(001) surface at different coverages from 1/9 monolayer(ML) to 1 ML has been investigated using density functional theory calculations. With the analysis of the most stable adsorption structures at different coverages, the mechanism of CaO(001)surface carbonating into CaCO_3 has been explored. At low coverages(≤1/3 ML), CO_2 molecule prefers sitting in parallel pattern on the CaO(001) surface, while the structure of the CaO(001)surface remains unchanged. At medium coverage(4/9 ～ 2/3 ML), the repulsive interactions between oxygen atoms of CO_2 become stronger, and the calcium carbonation structure appears on the CaO(001) surface. At high coverage( ≥ 7/9 ML), the structure of the CaO(001) surface is deeply damaged, and a few CO_2 molecules have penetrated into the surface and bound to the O atom of the second layer(sub-surface), eventually forming the layered structure of CaCO_3.Additionally, herein has discussed the simulation of HREELS and thermodynamical stability of these structures at different coverages.     

Electrical transport and photoresponse properties of single-crystalline p-type Cd3As2 nanowires

Cd3As2 is an important II–V group semiconductor with excellent electrical and optoelectronic properties. In this work, we report the large scale growth of single-crystalline Cd3As2 nanowires via a simple chemical vapor deposition method. Single nanowire field-effect transistors were fabricated with the as-grown Cd3As2 nanowires, which exhibited a high I on/I off of 104 with a hole mobility of 6.02 cm2V-1s-1. Photoresponse properties of the Cd3As2 nanowires were also investigated by illuminating the nanowires with white light by varying intensities. Besides, flexible photodetectors were also fabricated on flexible PET substrate, showing excellent mechanical stablility and flexible electro-optical properties under various bending states and bending cycles. Our results indicate that Cd3As2 nanowires can be the basic material of next generation electronic and optoelectronic devices.
