文摘The octahedral spherical hohlraums have natural superiority in maintaining high radiation symmetry during the entire capsule implosion process in indirect drive inertial confinement fusion.While,in contrast to the cylindrical hohlraums,the narrow space between the laser beams and the spherical hohlraum wall is usually commented.In this Letter,we address this crucial issue and report our experimental work conducted on the SGIII-prototype laser facility which unambiguously demonstrates that a simple design of cylindrical laser entrance hole(LEH)can dramatically improve the laser propagation inside the spherical hohlraums.In addition,the laser beam deflection in the hohlraum is observed for the first time in the experiments.Our 2-dimensional simulation results also verify qualitatively the advantages of the spherical hohlraums with cylindrical LEHs.Our results imply the prospect of adopting the cylindrical LEHs in future spherical ignition hohlraum design.

文摘Through nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations,we provide an atomic-scale picture of the dynamics of particles near the surface of a medium under ultra-strong shocks.This shows that the measured surface velocity v_(f)under ultra-strong shocks is actually the velocity of the critical surface at which the incident probe light is reflected,and v_(f)has a single-peaked structure.The doubling rule commonly used in the case of relatively weak shocks to determine particle velocity behind the shock front is generally not valid under ultra-strong shocks.After a short period of acceleration,v_(f)exhibits a long slowly decaying tail,which is not sensitive to the atomic mass of the medium.A scaling law for v_(f)is also proposed,and this may be used to improve the measurement of particle velocity u in future experiments.
文摘With a goal of establishing a leading-edge international journal and an influential platform for researchers investigating physical principles,technologies,and applications of the emerging field of high energy density science,we initiated the new journal,Matter and Radiation at Extremes(MRE)in 2016.MRE has been and will be dedicated to report extreme states of matter and radiation and the related science,technology,and applications,including drivers(lasers,pulsed power,accelerators),modeling tools,targets,and diagnostics that are employed to produce,understand,and diagnose these conditions in the laboratory.

文摘A sharp density increase(referred to as density incrustation)of the Au plasmas in the radiative cooling process of high-Z Au plasmas confined by low-Z CH plasmas is found through the radiative hydrodynamic simulations.The temperature of Au plasmas changes obviously in the cooling layer while the pressure remains constant.Consequently,the Au plasmas in the cooling layer are compressed,and the density incrustation is formed.It is also shown that when the high-Z plasma opacity decreases or the low-Z plasma opacity increases,the peak density of the density incrustation becomes lower and the thickness of the density incrustation becomes wider.This phenomenon is crucial to the Ray-leigheTaylor instability at the interface of high-Z and low-Z plasmas,since the density variation of Au plasmas has a considerable influence on the Atwood number of the interface.
文摘The temperature characteristics of the read current of the NOR embedded flash memory with a 1.5T-per-cell structure are theoretically analyzed and experimentally verified.We verify that for a cell programmed with a“10”state,the read current is either increasing,decreasing,or invariable with the temperature,essentially depending on the reading overdrive voltage of the selected bitcell,or its programming strength.By precisely controlling the programming strength and thus manipulating its temperature coefficient,we propose a new setting method for the reference cells that programs each of reference cells to a charge state with a temperature coefficient closely tracking tail data cells,thereby solving the current coefficient mismatch and improving the read window.
文摘The thermodynamic properties of boron nitride under extreme pressures and temperatures are of great interest and importance for materials science and inertial confinement fusion physics,but they are poorly understood owing to the challenges of performing experiments and realizing ab initio calculations.Here,we report the first shock Hugoniot data on hexagonal boron nitride at pressures of 5–16 Mbar,using hohlraum-driven shock waves at the SGIII-p laser facility in China.Our density functional theory molecular dynamics calculations closely match experimental data,validating the equations of state for modeling the shock response of boron nitride and filling a crucial gap in the knowledge of boron nitride properties in the region of multi-Mbar pressures and eV temperatures.The results presented here provide fundamental insights into boron nitride under the extreme conditions relevant to inertial confinement fusion,hydrogen–boron fusion,and high-energy-density physics.

文摘Embedded operating system EOS （Embedded Operating System） is widely used system software which in the past is mainly used in fields of industrial control and defense system. EOS is responsible for the entire software and hardware resource allocation, scheduling work and coordinating concurrent control activities; some more successful applied EOS products have been presently launched. With the development of lnternet technology, information appliances and the universal application of miniaturization and specialization of EOS, EOS started from a single weak situation to a higher professional direction with strong functions.

文摘Irinotecan,one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer,suffers from extremely low activatability and non-selective tumor activation.7-Ethyl-10-hydroxy-camptothecin(SN38),the active metabolite of irinotecan,has been limited in clinical development due to poor water solubility and stability.Here,the thioether bond and disulfide bond were employed as response modules to construct tumor-selective SN38 prodrug nanoassemblies(SN38-S-C_(21) NPs and SN38-SS-C_(21) NPs).11-Henicosanol was chosen as a self-assembly module to enhance stability.Both SN38-S-C_(21) NPs and SN38-SS-C_(21) NPs presented ultra-high in vivo stability with a 12146-fold and 23151-fold elevation in the area under the curve(AUC)compared to SN38.Moreover,SN38-S-C_(21) NPs and SN38-SS-C_(21) NPs showed a significant reduction of SN38exposure in blood compared to irinotecan.Importantly,the prodrug nanoassemblies enabled selective activation within tumor cells,and the conversion rates of SN38-SS-C_(21) NPs and SN38-S-C_(21) NPs to SN38 were 10-and 7-fold higher than irinotecan.Compared with SN38-S-C_(21) NPs,the superior in vivo stability,SN38 conversion efficiency and tumor selectivity of SN38-SSC_(21) NPs resulted in potent antitumor effects and safety.Our findings proved that the disulfide bond was more suitable for constructing high-performance SN38 prodrug nanoassemblies,which showed significant promise for the rational design of SN38 nanomedicines.
