In our model, a rate-dependent yield surface for the matrix phase is employed to identify initial yielding of the material. When an SFRP is loaded at small deformation before yielding, its viscoelastic behavior can be described using the generalized Maxwell model, while when plasticity occurs, a scalar internal state variable (ISV) is used to capture the hardening behavior caused by the polymeric constituent of the composite. The material degradation due to the moisture absorption of the composite is modeled by employing another type of ISV with different evolution equations. The complicated damage state of the SFRPs is captured by a second rank tensor, which is further decomposed to model the subscale damage mechanisms of micro-voids/cracks nucleation, growth and coalescence. It is concluded that the proposed constitutive model can be used to accurately describe complicated behaviors of SFRPs because the results predicted from the model are in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

The magnetoresistance and Hall resistivity of Pr2 CuO_(4±δ) samples were systematically investigated. It was found that with decreasing oxygen content, the low-temperature Hall coefficient(RH) and magnetoresistance changed from negative to positive, similar to those with the increase of Ce-doped concentration in R_(2-x)Ce_x CuO_4 (R = La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Eu). In addition, we observed that the dependence of the superconducting critical temperature Tc with RH for the Pr_(2-x) Ce_x CuO_4 perfectly overlapped with that of Pr_2 CuO_(4±δ) . These findings point to the fact that the doped electrons induced by the oxygen removal are responsible for the superconductivity of the T-phase parent compounds.展开更多

Based on scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, the surface morphology and electronic structure of CaKFe_(4)As_(4) single crystal were systematically investigated. The cleaved CaKFe_(4)As_(4) showed various morphologies, such as atomically resolved 1×1, 1×2, and √2×√2 lattices. By analyzing the geometrical correlations of these morphologies, the 1×1 and 1×2 lattices were identified as the original and reconstructed As layers, respectively, whereas the √2×√2 lattice was distinguished as the reconstructed alkaline-earth-metal or alkali-metal layer. The superconducting energy gap of 7.3 me V and bosonic mode of 12.7 me V were resolved in the scanning tunneling spectra. In addition, the superconducting energy gaps measured on different terminations were identical and consistent with the values obtained by bulk-sensitive techniques, indicating that the electronic structures of CaKFe_(4)As_(4) were insensitive to the surface reconstructions. Our study clarifies the relationships between complex surface reconstructions and surface terminations and preliminarily presents that there is no obvious effect of surface reconstructions on electronic states.展开更多

A crossover from negative to positive magnetoresistance occurs between the doping level x = 0.07 and 0.08. Above x = 0.08, the positive magnetoresistance effect appears, and is almost indiscernible at x = 0.15. By tuning the oxygen content, the as-grown samples show negative magnetoresistance effect, whereas the optimally annealed ones display positive magnetoresistance effect at the doping level x = 0.15. Intriguingly, a linear-field dependence of in-plane magnetoresistanee is observed at the underdoping level x = 0.06, the optimal doping level x = 0. i and slightly overdoping level x = 0.11. These anomalies of in-plane magnetoresistance may be related to the intrinsic inhomogeneity in the cuprates, which is discussed in the framework of network model.展开更多
