文摘In oil and gas exploration,small-scale karst cavities and faults are important targets.The former often serve as reservoir space for carbonate reservoirs,while the latter often provide migration pathways for oil and gas.Due to these differences,the classification and identification of karst cavities and faults are of great significance for reservoir development.Traditional seismic attributes and diffraction imaging techniques can effectively identify discontinuities in seismic images,but these techniques do not distinguish whether these discontinuities are karst cavities,faults,or other structures.It poses a challenge for seismic interpretation to accurately locate and classify karst cavities or faults within the seismic attribute maps and diffraction imaging profiles.In seismic data,the scattering waves are associated with small-scale scatters like karst cavities,while diffracted waves are seismic responses from discontinuous structures such as faults,reflector edges and fractures.In order to achieve classification and identification of small-scale karst cavities and faults in seismic images,we propose a diffraction classification imaging method which classifies diffracted and scattered waves in the azimuth-dip angle image matrix using a modified DenseNet.We introduce a coordinate attention module into DenseNet,enabling more precise extraction of dynamic and azimuthal features of diffracted and scattered waves in the azimuth-dip angle image matrix.Leveraging these extracted features,the modified DenseNet can produce reliable probabilities for diffracted/scattered waves,achieving high-accuracy automatic classification of cavities and faults based on diffraction imaging.The proposed method achieves 96%classification accuracy on the synthetic dataset.The field data experiment demonstrates that the proposed method can accurately classify small-scale faults and scatterers,further enhancing the resolution of diffraction imaging in complex geologic structures,and contributing to the localization of karstic fracture-cavern reservoirs.

文摘Magnesium(Mg)alloys typically exhibit anisotropic mechanical behaviors due to their hexagonal close-packed(hcp)crystal structures,often leading to tension-compression asymmetries.Understanding of the asymmetrical and related deformation mechanisms is crucial for their structural applications,particularly in the lightweight transportation industries.Nevertheless,the underlying deformation mechanisms(e.g.,slip versus twinning)at each deformation stage during tension and compression have not been fully understood.In this study,we employed tensile and compressive tests on extruded Al and Mn containing Mg alloy,i.e.,an AM alloy Mg-0.6Mn-0.5Al-0.5Zn-0.4Ca,during the synchrotron X-ray diffraction.Our results show that distinct deformation behaviors and mechanisms in tension and compression are associated with the strong texture in the extruded samples:(i)The tensile deformation is dominated by dislocation slips,with activation of non-basaland<c+a>slip,but deformation twinning is suppressed.(ii)The compressive deformation shows early-stage tensile twinning,followed by dislocation slips.Twinning induces grain reorientation,leading to significant lattice strain evolution aligned with the texture.The pronounced tension-compression asymmetry is attributed to the favorable shear stress direction formed in the twinning system during compression,which facilitates the activation of tensile twins.During tension,the strain hardening rate(SHR)drops significantly after yielding due to limited activated slip systems.In contrast,the samples under compression exhibit significant increases in SHR after yielding.During compression,dislocation multiplication dominates the initial strain hardening,while twinning progressively contributes more significantly than dislocation slip at higher strains.This study improves our understanding of the tension-compression and strain hardening asymmetries in extruded AM Mg alloys.

文摘Face-centered cubic(FCC)equi-atomic multi-principal element alloys(MPEAs)exhibit excellent mechan-ical properties over a broad temperature range from cryogenic temperatures(CTs)to room temperature(RT).Specifically,while the deformation mechanism is dominated solely by dislocation slip at RT,the re-duction in stacking fault energy(SFE)at CTs leads to enhanced strain hardening with deformation twin-ning.This study employs in-situ neutron diffraction to reveal the temperature-dependent deformation be-havior of the FCC/body-centered cubic(BCC)dual-phase(DP)Al7(CoNiV)93 medium-entropy alloy(MEA),which possesses a matrix exhibiting deformation behavior analogous to that of representative equi-atomic MPEAs.Alongside the increased lattice friction stress associated with reduced temperature as a thermal component,deformation twinning at liquid nitrogen temperature(LNT)facilitates dislocation activity in the FCC matrix,leading to additional strain hardening induced by the dynamic Hall-Petch effect.This would give the appearance that the improved strengthening/hardening behaviors at LNT,compared to RT,are primarily attributable to the FCC phase.In contrast,the BCC precipitates are governed solely by dislocation slip for plastic deformation at both 77 K and 298 K,exhibiting a similar trend in dislocation density evolution.Nevertheless,empirical and quantitative findings indicate that the intrinsically high Peierls-Nabarro barriers in the BCC precipitates exhibit pronounced temperature-dependent lattice fric-tion stress,suggesting that the BCC precipitates play a more significant role in the temperature-dependent strengthening/hardening behaviors for the DP-MEA.This study provides a comprehensive understanding of deformation behavior by thoroughly analyzing temperature-dependent strengthening/hardening mech-anisms across various DP-MPEA systems,offering valuable guidelines for future alloy design.

文摘The effects of solid solution on the deformation behavior of binary Mg-xZn(x=0,1,2 wt%)alloys featuring a designated texture that enables extension twinning under tension parallel to the basal pole in most grains,were investigated using in-situ neutron diffraction and the EVPSC-TDT model.Neutron diffraction was used to quantitatively track grain-level lattice strains and diffraction intensity changes(related to mechanical twinning)in differently oriented grains of each alloy during cyclic tensile/compressive loadings.These measurements were accurately captured by the model.The stress-strain curves of Mg-1 wt%Zn and Mg-2 wt%Zn alloys show as-expected solid solution strengthening from the addition of Zn compared to pure Mg.The macroscopic yielding and hardening behaviors are explained by alternating slip and twinning modes as calculated by the model.The solid solution's influence on individual deformation modes,including basal〈a〉slip,prismatic〈a〉slip,and extension twinning,was then quantitatively assessed in terms of activity,yielding behavior,and hardening response by combining neutron diffraction results with crystal plasticity predictions.The Mg-1 wt%Zn alloy displays distinct yielding and hardening behavior due to solid solution softening of prismatic〈a〉slip.Additionally,the dependence of extension twinning,in terms of the twinning volume fraction,on Zn content exhibits opposite trends under tensile and compressive loadings.

文摘The detrimental phase transformations of sodium layered transition metal oxides(Na_(x)TMO_(2))during desodiation/sodiation seriously suppress their practical applications for sodium ion batteries(SIBs).Undoubtedly,comprehensively investigating of the dynamic crystal structure evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)associating with Na ions extraction/intercalation and then deeply understanding of the relationships between electrochemical performances and phase structures drawing support from advanced characterization techniques are indispensable.In-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction(HEXRD),a powerful technology to distinguish the crystal structure of electrode materials,has been widely used to identify the phase evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)and then profoundly revealed the electrochemical reaction processes.In this review,we begin with the descriptions of synchrotron characterization techniques and then present the advantages of synchrotron X-ray diffraction(XRD)over conventional XRD in detail.The optimizations of structural stability and electrochemical properties for P2-,O3-,and P2/O3-type Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes through single/dual-site substitution,high-entropy design,phase composition regulation,and surface engineering are summarized.The dynamic crystal structure evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)polytypes during Na ion extraction/intercalation as well as corresponding structural enhancement mechanisms characterizing by means of HEXRD are concluded.The interior relationships between structure/component of Na_(x)TMO_(2)polytypes and their electrochemical properties are discussed.Finally,we look forward the research directions and issues in the route to improve the electrochemical properties of Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes for SIBs in the future and the combined utilizations of multiple characterization techniques.This review will provide significant guidelines for rational designs of high-performance Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes.

文摘Lithography is a Key enabling technique in modern micro/nano scale technology.Achieving the optimal trade-off between resolution,throughput,and cost remains a central focus in the ongoing development.However,current lithographic techniques such as direct-write,projection,and extreme ultraviolet lithography achieve higher resolution at the expense of increased complexity in optical systems or the use of shorter-wavelength light sources,thus raising the overall cost of production.Here,we present a cost-effective and wafer-level perfect conformal contact lithography at the diffraction limit.By leveraging a transferable photoresist,the technique ensures optimal contact between the mask and photoresist with zero-gap,facilitating the transfer of patterns at the diffraction limit while maintaining high fidelity and uniformity across large wafers.This technique applies to a wide range of complex surfaces,including non-conductive glass surfaces,flexible substrates,and curved surfaces.The proposed technique expands the potential of contact photolithography for novel device architectures and practic al manufacturing processes.

文摘Pyrrhotite naturally occurs in various superstructures including magnetic(4C)and non-magnetic(5C,6C)types,each with distinct physicochemical properties and flotation behaviors.Challenges in accurately identifying and quantifying these superstructures hinder the optimization of pyrrhotite depression in flotation processes.To address this critical issue,synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction(S-XRPD)with Rietveld refinement was employed to quantify the distribution of superstructures in the feed and flotation concentrates of a copper–gold ore.To elucidate the mechanisms influencing depression,density functional theory(DFT)calculations were conducted to explore the electronic structures and surface reactivity of the pyrrhotite superstructures toward the adsorption of water,oxygen and hydroxyl ions(OH-)as dominant species present in the flotation process.S-XRPD analysis revealed that flotation recovery rates of pyrrhotite followed the order of 4C<6C<5C.DFT calculations indicated that the Fe 3d and S 3p orbital band centers exhibited a similar trend relative to the Fermi level with 4C being the closest.The Fe3d band center suggested that the 4C structure possessed a more reactive surface toward the oxygen reduction reaction,promoting the formation of hydrophilic Fe-OH sites.The S 3p band center order also implied that xanthate on the non-magnetic 5C and 6C surfaces could oxidize to dixanthogen,increasing hydrophobicity and floatability,while 4C formed less hydrophobic metal-xanthate complexes.Adsorption energy and charge transfer analyses of water,hydroxyl ions and molecular oxygen further supported the high reactivity and hydrophilic nature of 4C pyrrhotite.The strong bonding with hydroxyl ions indicated enhanced surface passivation by hydrophilic Fe–OOH complexes,aligning with the experimentally observed flotation order(4C<6C<5C).These findings provide a compelling correlation between experimental flotation results and electronic structure calculations,delivering crucial insights for optimizing flotation processes and improving pyrrhotite depression.This breakthrough opens up new opportunities to enhance the efficiency of flotation processes in the mining industry.

文摘In this study,the twinning-detwinning behavior and slip behavior of rolled AZ31 magnesium-alloy plates during a three-step intermittent dynamic compression process along the rolling direction(RD)and normal direction(ND),are investigated via quasi-in situ electron backscatter diffraction,and the causes of the twinning and detwinning behavior are explained according to Schmid law,local strain coordination,and slip trajectories.It is found that the twins are first nucleated and grow at a compressive strain of 3%along the RD.In addition to the Schmid factor(SF),the strain coordination factor(m’)also influences the selection of the twin variants during the twinning process,resulting in the nucleation of twins with a low SF.During the second and third steps of the application of continuous compressive strains with magnitudes and directions of 3%RD+3%ND and 3%RD+3%ND+2.5%ND,detwinning occurs to different extents.The observation of the detwinning behavior reveals that the order in which multiple twins within the same grain undergo complete detwinning is related to Schmid law and the strain concentration,with a low SF and a high strain concentration promoting complete detwinning.The interaction between slip dislocations and twin boundaries in the deformed grains as well as the pinning of dislocations at the tips of the {1012} tensile twins with a special structure result in incomplete detwinning.Understanding the microstructural evolution and twinning behavior of magnesium alloys under different deformation geometries is important for the development of high-strength and high-toughness magnesium alloys.
