文摘FAPbI3 has been extensively employed in high-performance perovskite solar cells(PSCs)owing to its optimal bandgap and outstanding optoelectronic properties.Nevertheless,it readily undergoes the formation of a photo-inactiveδ-phase during crystallization,and achieving high-qualityα-phase films becomes even more challenging in antisolvent-free fabrication processes.This study introduces a crystallization control strategy based on 2-dimethylaminopyridine(2-DMAP)ligand engineering to establish a“fast nucleation-slow growth”dual-time-domain crystallization mechanism.2-DMAP facilitates the formation of a functional intermediate phase(2-DMAP·PbI_(2)·DMSO)that enables a direct transformation to theα-FAPbI3 phase and effectively suppresses theδ-phase pathway.Theoretical calculations and systematic experimental characterizations demonstrate that 2-DMAP exhibits stronger binding affinity and a greater charge polarization effect than dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO).This promotes the formation of high-density nuclei during spin coating and delays excessive grain growth during annealing,leading to perovskite films with improved crystallinity,fewer defects,and longer carrier lifetimes.As a result,an antisolvent-free PSC device was successfully fabricated,achieving a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 25.10%,one of the highest reported for antisolvent-free spin-coating systems.Under ISOS-L-1 standard conditions,the device retained 84.78%of its initial efficiency after 1500 h of continuous illumination,demonstrating excellent operational stability.Moreover,it exhibited remarkable long-term stability under harsh humid and thermal conditions.This work offers a valuable strategy for the large-scale fabrication of high-performance and antisolvent-free PSCs.

文摘Heavy-ion collisions(HICs)is a unique experimental tool for investigating the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions in the laboratory.At HIRFL-CSR energies,HICs can create nuclear matter with 2-3 times the saturation density(ρ_(0)).The HIRFL-CSR external-target experiment(CEE)is a large-acceptance spectrometer designed to explore frontier topics in high-energy nuclear physics,such as the QCD phase structure and nuclear matter equation of states.In this letter,we introduce simulation and analysis software for the CEE experiment(CeeROOT).Based on the CEE conceptual design and CeeROOT software,the configurations of its subdetectors were optimized by considering foreseeable physical constraints.The final detector layout of the CEE spectrometer and its acceptances were validated through simulations of U+U collisions at 500 MeV/u and pp collisions at 2.8 GeV,which demonstrated that the CEE experiment will serve as a detector with wide acceptance and multi-particle identification capabilities for studying high-energy nuclear physics topics at HIRFL-CSR energies with pp,pA,and A A collisions.

文摘Ferromagnetism in moiréflat-band systems has been extensively studied in the first valence miniband of twisted MoTe_(2),while its controlled realization at higher moiréfillings remains largely unexplored,except for very recent works reporting correlated magnetism near half filling of the second moiréband.Here,we investigate rhombohedral-stacked twisted MoTe_(2)/hBN/WSe_(2) heterostructures and uncover two distinct ferromagnetic(FM)regions:one centered near v_(h)≈3(half filling of the second moirévalence miniband)at zero displacement field,and a re-entrant FM phase that emerges for v_(h)>3 only under a finite out-of-plane electric field.These FM regions are separated by a narrow filling window with a strongly suppressed magnetic circular dichroism(MCD)response.Layer-sensitive exciton spectroscopy identifies that WSe_(2) is hole-doped in the re-entrant FM region,consistent with partial charge transfer from MoTe_(2) to WSe_(2).We propose that electric-field–induced layer repopulation stabilizes the re-entrant ferromagnetic phase by pinning the effective MoTe_(2) filling near v_(h)≈3 while adding carriers to the remote WSe_(2) layer.Our results demonstrate that remote-layer population control is an effective tuning knob for magnetic ordering in higher moiréminibands,extending the design space for correlated spin–valley phases in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures.

文摘As the channel for grain boundary diffusion(GBD)in Nd–Fe–B magnets,grain boundary(GB)phases have a very important effect on GBD.As doping elements that are commonly used to regulate the GB phases in Nd–Fe–B sintered magnets,the influences of Ga and Zr on GBD were investigated in this work.The results show that the Zr-doped magnet has the highest coercivity increment(7.97 kOe)by GBD,which is almost twice that of the Ga-doped magnet(4.32 kOe)and the magnet without Ga and Zr(3.24 kOe).Microstructure analysis shows that ZrB_(2)formed in the Zr-doped magnet plays a key role in increasing the diffusion depth.A continuous diffusion channel in the magnet can form because of the presence of ZrB_(2).ZrB_(2)can also increase the defect concentration in GB phases,which can facilitate GBD.Although Ga can also improve the diffusion depth,its effect is not very obvious.The micromagnetic simulation based on the experimental results also proves that the distribution of Tb in the Zr-doped magnet after GBD is beneficial to coercivity.This study reveals that the doping elements Ga and Zr in Nd–Fe–B play an important role in GBD,and could provide a new perspective for researchers to improve the effects of GBD.

文摘The mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of two nickel-based superalloys with and without oxide dispersion strengthened(ODS)phases at different temperatures were studied.The microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results show that the yield strength of the samples with and without ODS phases at room temperature is 1020 and 324 MPa,respectively.The yield strength model was constructed,and it is found that the contribution of grain boundary strengthening,dislocation strengthening and nanoparticle strengthening of nickel-based ODS superalloy exceeds 83%.As the temperature increases,grain boundary sliding and migration decrease the strength of sample but improve its ductility.Oxidation hinders the ductility of sample and intensifies its fracture,and the maximum elongation of nickel-based ODS superalloy at 800℃ is 47.3%.

文摘With the continuous upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries and the rapid rise of emerging technology fields,the performance requirements for the permanent magnet synchronous motors(PMSMs)have become higher and higher.The importance of fast and accurate electromagnetic thermal coupling analysis of such motors becomes more and more prominent.In view of this,the surfacemounted PMSM(SPMSM)equipped with unequally thick magnetic poles is taken as the main object and its electromagnetic thermal coupling analytical model(ETc AM)is investigated.First,the electromagnetic analytical model(EAM)is studied based on the modified subdomain method.It realizes the fast calculation of key electromagnetic characteristics.Subsequently,the 3D thermal analytical model(TAM)is developed by combining the EAM,the lumped parameter thermal network method(LPTNM),and the partial differential equation of heat flux.It realizes the fast calculation of key thermal characteristics in 3D space.Further,the information transfer channel between EAM and TAM is built with reference to the intrinsic connection between electromagnetic field and temperature field.Thereby,the novel ETcAM is proposed to realize the fast and accurate prediction of electromagnetic and temperature fields.Besides,ETcAM has a lot to commend it.One is that it well accounts for the complex structure,saturation,and heat exchange behavior.Second,it saves a lot of computer resources.It offers boundless possibilities for initial design,scheme evaluation,and optimization of motors.Finally,the validity,accuracy,and practicality of this study are verified by simulation and experiment.

文摘Pepper(Capsicum annuum L.)is a typical self-pollinating crop with obvious heterosis in hybrids.Consequently,the use of morphological markers during the pepper seedling stage is crucial for pepper breeding.The color of hypocotyl is widely used as a phenotypic marker in crossing studies of pepper.Pepper accessions generally have purple hypocotyls,which are mainly due to the anthocyanin accumulation in seedlings,and green hypocotyls are rarely observed in pepper.Here we reported the characterization of a green hypocotyl mutant of pepper,Cha1,which was identified from a pepper ethyl methanesulfonate(EMS)mutant library.Fine mapping revealed that the causal gene,CaTTG1,belonging to the WD40 repeat family,controlled the green hypocotyl phenotype of the mutant.Virus-induced gene silencing(VIGS)confirmed that CaTTG1 regulated anthocyanin accumulation.RNA-seq data showed that expression of structural genes CaDFR,CaANS,and CaUF3GT in the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway was significantly decreased in Cha1 compared to the wild type.Yeast two-hybrid(Y2H)experiments also confirmed that CaTTG1 activated the synthesis of anthocyanin structural genes by forming a MBW complex with CaAN1 and CaGL3.In summary,this study provided a green hypocotyl mutant of pepper,and the Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR(KASP)marker developed based on the mutation site of the underlying gene would be helpful for pepper breeding.

文摘Pepper fruit is highly favored for its spicy taste,diverse flavors,and significant nutritional benefits.The proper development of flowers and fruits directly determines the quality of pepper fruit.The YABBY gene family exhibits diverse functions in growth and development,which is crucial to the identity of flower organs.However,the specific functions of these genes in pepper remain unclear.In this study,nine CaYABBY genes were identified and characterized in pepper.Most CaYABBY genes were highly expressed in reproductive organs,albeit with varying expression patterns.The CaYABBY5 gene,uniquely expressed in petals and carpels,has been demonstrated to modulate floral organ determinacy and fruit shape through gene silencing in pepper and ectopic expression in tomato.Protein interaction analysis revealed an interacting protein SEPALLATA3-like protein(SEP3),exhibiting a similar expression profile to CaYABBY5.These findings suggest that CaYABBY5 may modulate the morphogenesis of floral organs and fruits by interacting with CaSEP3.This study provided valuable insights into the classification and function of CaYABBY genes in pepper.

文摘The pursuit of Ag-based alloys with both high strength and toughness has posed a longstanding chal-lenge.In this study,we investigated the cluster strengthening and grain refinement toughening mecha-nisms in fully oxidized AgMgNi alloys,which were internally oxidized at 800℃ for 8 h under an oxy-gen atmosphere.We found that Mg-O clusters contributed to the hardening(138 HV)and strengthening(376.9 MPa)of the AgMg alloy through solid solution strengthening effects,albeit at the expense of duc-tility.To address this limitation,we introduced Ni nanoparticles into the AgMg alloy,resulting in signifi-cant grain refinement within its microstructure.Specifically,the grain size decreased from 67.2μm in the oxidized AgMg alloy to below 6.0μm in the oxidized AgMgNi alloy containing 0.3 wt%Ni.Consequently,the toughness increased significantly,rising from toughness value of 2177.9 MJ m^(-3) in the oxidized AgMg alloy to 6186.1 MJ m^(-3) in the oxidized AgMgNi alloy,representing a remarkable 2.8-fold enhancement.Furthermore,the internally oxidized AgMgNi alloy attained a strength of up to 387.6 MPa,comparable to that of the internally oxidized AgMg alloy,thereby demonstrating the successful realization of concurrent strengthening and toughening.These results collectively offer a novel approach for the design of high-performance alloys through the synergistic combination of cluster strengthening and grain refinement toughening.

文摘With the change of the main influencing factors such as structural configuration and impact conditions,reinforced concrete slabs exhibit different mechanical behaviors with different failure patterns,and the failure modes are transformed.In order to reveal the failure mode and transformation rule of reinforced concrete slabs under impact loads,a dynamic impact response test was carried out using a drop hammer test device.The dynamic data pertaining to the impact force,support reaction force,structural displacement,and reinforcement strain were obtained through the use of digital image correlation technology(DIC),impact force measurement,and strain measurement.The analysis of the ultimate damage state of the reinforced concrete slab identified four distinct types of impact failure modes:local failure by stamping,overall failure by stamping,local-overall coupling failure,and local failure by punching.Additionally,the influence laws of hammerhead shape,hammer height,and reinforcement ratio on the dynamic response and failure mode transformation of the slab were revealed.The results indicate that:(1)The local damage to the slab by the plane hammer is readily apparent,while the overall damage by the spherical hammer is more pronounced.(2)In comparison to the high reinforcement ratio slabs,the overall bending resistance of the low reinforcement ratio slabs is significantly inferior,and the slab back exhibits further cracks.(3)As the hammer height increases,the slab failure mode undergoes a transformation,shifting from local failure by stamping and overall failure by stamping to local-overall coupling failure and local failure by punching.(4)Three failure mode thresholds have been established,and by comparing the peak impact force with the failure thresholds,the failure mode of the slab can be effectively determined.
