Our calculations are aimed in the three cases： N/In = 1, N/In 〉 1 （N-rich）, and N/In 〈 1 （In-rich）. Our results indicate that the antisite defect has the lowest formation energy under N/In = 1. The formation energy of nitrogen interstitial （nitrogen vacancy） defect is significantly low under the N-rich （In-rich） condition. Thus the antisite defect is an important defect if N/In = 1, and the nitrogen interstitial （nitrogen vacancy） defect is a vital defect under the N-rich （In-rich） condition. The atomic site relaxation around the nitrogen interstitial and vacancy is investigated. Our calculations show that the nitrogen vacancy cannot be observed although it is one of the most important defects in InN. Our results are confirmed by experiments.展开更多

It is found that the defective subbands appear in the conduction band and valence band in accordance with boron (nitrogen)-divacancy defect, respectively;the impurity subbands don’t lead to the transition from the metallic characteristic to a semiconducting one. These complex defects affect the electronic band structures around the Fermi level of the graphene nanoribbon;the charge densities of these configurations have also changed distinctly. It is hoped that the theoretical results are helpful in designing the electronic device.展开更多

To resolve the difficulty of defect segmentation in variable grey image, the image processing based on Visual Basic programming method was adopted. The methods of automatic contrast and partial grey stretch were used to enhance the X-ray detection image which has relatively low contrast, then automatic threshold method was carried out to segment the two high intensity zones, and weld zones which contain the small defects was extracted. Smoothing and sharpen processing were proceeded on the extracted weld zones, and small defects in X-ray detection image of weldments with complex structure were segmented by using the method of background subtraction in the end. The effects of raster were eliminated, and because of that the image processing was only proceeded on the extracted weld zones, the calculated speed using the above provided algorithm was improved.展开更多

For both kinds of specimens,the concentration of VO3 reachs to maximum at 550 ℃ and does not disappear completely at 600 ℃.展开更多

We have numerically studied both the transient behaviors of two defects with different structures and their velocity field, and estimated the magnitude of the induced velocity. A defect with positive strength moves faster than one with negative strength. The long-range order of the molecular orientation field has a large effect on the annihilation time, and the annihilation time is reduced by increasing the long-range order. We find that flows are induced during the annihilation of a pair of defects and that several vortices are generated in the vicinity of the defects. The maximum velocity is predicted to develop spatially between the two defects just after their annihilation in time. In our simulation, the maximum induced velocity reaches an order of 10 μm/s. The induced velocity increases with increasing long range-order and nematic potential strength.展开更多
