The reason behind this is that Ce microalloying can not only enhance both the intrinsic toughening level and the extrinsic toughening level but also suppress the embrittling behavior of the impurities. However, 0.06%-0.15% Ce microalloying fails to bring about any beneficial effect to the toughening level for the alloy 1420.展开更多

For the samples with Cu higher than 75at.% Mossbauer the spectra show a broad paramagnetic doublet; for samples with 50 and 60at.%Cu a new broad ferromagnetic sextet; for those with less than 30at.%Cu similar to those of α-Fe. The main peaks of the hyperfine field distribution significantly broaden and shift to a lower position with increasing Cu content due to the complex environments of iron atoms in the solid solutions and the reduction in the nearest neighbor Fe of a cental Fe atom, respectively. The saturation magnetization of Fe-Cu alloys monotonously decreases with Cu content. The complex composition dependence of coercive field for the milled samples is discussed with respect to the solid dissolution, grain size, interfacial state etc.. The increase of lattice constants with the solute content in the two terminal solid solutions has been explained by the volume-size factor theory or magnetovolume effect.展开更多

文摘The prediction of reactor antineutrino spectra will play a crucial role as reactor experiments enter the precision era.The positron energy spectrum of 3.5 million antineutrino inverse beta decay reactions observed by the Daya Bay experiment,in combination with the fission rates of fissile isotopes in the reactor,is used to extract the positron energy spectra resulting from the fission of specific isotopes.This information can be used to produce a precise,data-based prediction of the antineutrino energy spectrum in other reactor antineutrino experiments with different fission fractions than Daya Bay.The positron energy spectra are unfolded to obtain the antineutrino energy spectra by removing the contribution from detector response with the Wiener-SVD unfolding method.Consistent results are obtained with other unfolding methods.A technique to construct a data-based prediction of the reactor antineutrino energy spectrum is proposed and investigated.Given the reactor fission fractions,the technique can predict the energy spectrum to a 2%precision.In addition,we illustrate how to perform a rigorous comparison between the unfolded antineutrino spectrum and a theoretical model prediction that avoids the input model bias of the unfolding method.

文摘Based on(10087±44)×10^(6) J/ψevents collected with the BESⅢdetector,we search for the lepton number violating decay J/ψ→K^(+)K^(+)e^(-)e^(-)+c.c.for the first time.The upper limit on the branching fraction of this decay is set to 2.1×10^(-9)at the 90%confidence level with a frequentist method.This is the first search for J/ψdecays with a lepton number change by two,offering valuable insights into the underlying physical processes.
