We present a novel deep learning approach based on a U-Net architecture to time-reversely unfold the dynamics of CME-related charge separation, enabling the reconstruction of the physics signal across the entire evolution of HICs. Trained on the events simulated by a multi-phase transport model with different cases of CME settings, our model learns to recover the charge separation based on final-state transverse momentum distributions at either the quark–gloun plasma freeze-out or hadronic freeze-out. This devises a methodological tool for the study of CME and underscores the promise of deep learning approaches in retrieving physics signals in HICs.展开更多

It was shown that the magnetic properties of Pr2Fel4B/ct-Fe nanocomposite were im- proved by an addition of 10 at.% CoCr, in particular, coercivity （Hc） from 4.9 up to 5.3 kOe, maximum energy product （（BH）max） from 10.6 up to 13.9 MGOe, and remanence （Mr） from 94.2 up to 98.4 emu/g. The field dependencies of the reversible and irreversible magnetization components were derived from the recoil loops. Combining with the initial magnetization curves, the results indi- cated that the pinning of domain walls at the grain boundaries dominated the magnetization reversal in Pr2Fe14B/ct-Fe nanocomposite alloys. The magnetic memory effect was studied by measuring the magnetic moment relaxation at a cycle negative magnetic field with time interval of 600 s. The exchange-spring magnets with magnetic memory effect have a high potential for high density magnetic recording.展开更多

The results show that the magnetic field can produce a significant effect on the photodetachment of negative ion near a metal surface. Besides the closed orbits previously found by Duet al. for the H in the electric field near a metal surface （J. Phys. B 43 035002 （2010））, some additional closed orbits are produced due to the effect of magnetic field. For a given ion surface distance and an electric field strength, the cross section depends sensitively on the magnetic field strength. As the magnetic field strength is very small, its influence can be neglected. With the increase of the magnetic field strength, the number of the closed orbits increases greatly and the oscillation in the cross section becomes much more complex. Therefore we can control the photodetachment cross section of the negative ion by changing the magnetic field strength. We hope that our results may guide future experimental studies for the photodetachment process of negative ion in the presence of external fields and surfaces.展开更多

The wall of the wedge is embedded in a uniform nonDarcian porous medium in order to allow for possible fluid wall suction or injection. The governing boundary layer equations are written into a dimensionless form by similarity transformations. The transformed coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically with finite difference methods. Numerical calculations up to the thirdorder level of truncation are carried out for different values of dimensionless parameters. The results are presented graphically, and show that the flow field and other quantities of physical interest are significantly influenced by these parameters. The results are compared with those available in literature, and show excellent agreement.展开更多

We have found that the value of band gap increases with tensile strain and decreases with compressive strain. The variations of electrical conductivity,Seebeck coefficient, electronic thermal conductivity, and power factor with temperatures have been calculated. The Seebeck coefficient and power factor are observed to be modified strongly with strain. The value of power factor is found to be higher in comparison with the unstrained structure at 2% tensile strain. We have also calculated phonon dispersion, phonon density of states, specific heat at constant volume, and lattice thermal conductivity of material under uniaxial strain. The phonon properties and lattice thermal conductivity of Mg2Si under uniaxial strain have been explored first time in this report.展开更多

The plasma electron dynamic process is described by the test particle method. The Monte Carlo scheme is used to solve this model. The radial profile of electron mobility is obtained and the role of magnetic mirror in NWC is analysed both theoretically and numerically. The numerical results show that the electron mobility peak due to NWC is inversely proportional to the magnetic mirror ratio and the asymmetry of electron mobility along the radial direction gets greater when the magnetic mirror is considered. This effect indicates that apart from the disparity in the magnetic field strength, the difference in the magnetic mirror ratio near the inner and outer walls would actually augment the asymmetry of the radial profile of NWC in Hall thrusters.展开更多

The R–T compounds are studied by means of magnetic measurements, heat capacity measurements, magnetoresistance measurements and neutron powder diffraction measurements. The R–T compounds show complex magnetic transitions and interesting magnetic properties.The types of magnetic transitions are investigated and confirmed in detail by multiple approaches. Especially, most of the R–T compounds undergo more than one magnetic transition, which has significant impact on the magnetocaloric effect of R–T compounds. The MCE of R–T compounds are calculated by different ways and the special shapes of MCE peaks for different compounds are investigated and discussed in detail. To improve the MCE performance of R–T compounds,atoms with large spin（S） and atoms with large total angular momentum（J） are introduced to substitute the related rare earth atoms. With the atom substitution, the maximum of magnetic entropy change（？SM）, refrigerant temperature width（Twidth）or refrigerant capacity（RC） is enlarged for some R–T compounds. In the low temperature range, binary R–T（R = Pr, Gd,Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm; T = Ga, Ni, Co, Cu） intermetallic compounds（including RGa series, RNi series,R_（12）Co_7 series, R_3 Co series and RCu_2series） show excellent performance of MCE, indicating the potential application for gas liquefaction in the future.展开更多

The results of energy dispersive X-ray analysis （EDX） and X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the composition and crystal structure of the alloys were desired. DSC measurements were performed to determine the transformation temperatures for each alloy. Both alloys exhibited the first order phase transition around room temperature. The alloys showed an anti-ferromagnetic transition around 60 K. The isothermal magnetic entropy changes of the alloys were determined from the isothermal magnetization measurements by using the Maxwell relation. The maximum values of isothermal magnetic entropy change of the Gd5Ge2.05-xSi1.95-xMn2x alloy with x=0.01 was found to be -12.1 and -19.8 J/（kg·K） using Maxwell equation around 268 K in applied fields of 2 and 5 T, respectively.展开更多

The UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer is used to monitor the MB concentrations, and the dependence of the reaction rate on the initial dye concentration and settling duration is studied under UV light irradiation. It is found that the MFEs exist on the heterogeneous reaction systems for both ZnO and TiO2 powders and that the extraordinary phenomenon is reproducible. For ZnO powder, the results are in good agreement with the second-order reaction kinetics following the Langmuir-Hinshelwood （L-H） model, while the reaction for TiO2 follows first-order kinetics. It enhances the photodegradation for ZnO, while it reduces or enhances the reaction for TiO2 depending on the initial dye concentrations. The MFEs become small or negligible when the same photodecomposition experiment is carried out after settling the MB solution for more than three hours for both ZnO and TiO2. It is suggested that the key factors of MFEs on photocatalytic degradation is the condition of the MB solution as well as the characteristics of photocatalysts. The alteration of the MFEs ascribed to the solution condition caused by variation of the settling time.展开更多

The results showed that all the compounds presented cubic Na Zn13-type structure. Their Curie temperatures changed complicatedly with decreasing Al content due to changes of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interaction. Under a field change from 0 to 2 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change for La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.1）Si_（0.4）, La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.0）Si_（0.5）, La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（0.9）Si_（0.6） and La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（0.8）Si_（0.7） were found to be –9.6, –4.8, –5.8 and –11.7 J/（kg·K）, respectively. Moreover, their hysteresis losses were 1.13 J/（kg·K） or less. The large magnetic entropy changed and small hysteresis losses made them potential candidates for practical magnetic refrigeration application.展开更多

In this study, the shielding effectiveness of a two-coil MR-WPT system for different material shields is analyzed in theory using Moser＇s formula and Schelkunoff＇s formula. On this basis a candidate magnetic-shielding scheme with a double-layer structure is determined, which has better shielding effectiveness and coils coupling coefficient. Finally, some finite element simulation results validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis, and the shielding effectiveness with the double-layer shield in maximum is 30？dB larger than the one with the single-layer case.展开更多

For comparison, μi-T curves of the other two kinds of typical soft magnetic alloys also have been measured. It was found that a sharp Hopkinson peak appeared at the Curie point for each amorphous and crystalline alloy but there was no Hopkinson peak for the nanocrystalline alloy at the Curie point of the residual amorphous phase. This phenomenon has been explained in terms of the characteristic temperature dependence of the effective magnetic anisotropy.展开更多

Experimental results indicate that both the non-magnetic and magnetic ion dopants lead to the increase of magnetic moments and the decrease of the absolute value of Curie-Weiss temperature （｜θcw｜）- Compared with pure YMnOa, the geometrical frustration of YMn0.9 A0. 1O3 is greatly suppressed and the magnetic coupling in that exhibits dopant-dependent. In addition, for the doped YMno.gAo.103, the antiferromagnetic transition temperature （TN） is also suppressed slightly, which shows an abnormal dilution effect and it may be ascribed to the reduction of frustration due to the chemical substitution.展开更多

文摘Based on the closed-orbit theory, the magnetic field effect in the photodetachment of negative ion in the electric field near a metal surface is studied for the first time. The results show that the magnetic field can produce a significant effect on the photodetachment of negative ion near a metal surface. Besides the closed orbits previously found by Duet al. for the H in the electric field near a metal surface （J. Phys. B 43 035002 （2010））, some additional closed orbits are produced due to the effect of magnetic field. For a given ion surface distance and an electric field strength, the cross section depends sensitively on the magnetic field strength. As the magnetic field strength is very small, its influence can be neglected. With the increase of the magnetic field strength, the number of the closed orbits increases greatly and the oscillation in the cross section becomes much more complex. Therefore we can control the photodetachment cross section of the negative ion by changing the magnetic field strength. We hope that our results may guide future experimental studies for the photodetachment process of negative ion in the presence of external fields and surfaces.

文摘In this work, the effect of uniaxial strain on electronic and thermoelectric properties of magnesium silicide using density functional theory（DFT） and Boltzmann transport equations has been studied. We have found that the value of band gap increases with tensile strain and decreases with compressive strain. The variations of electrical conductivity,Seebeck coefficient, electronic thermal conductivity, and power factor with temperatures have been calculated. The Seebeck coefficient and power factor are observed to be modified strongly with strain. The value of power factor is found to be higher in comparison with the unstrained structure at 2% tensile strain. We have also calculated phonon dispersion, phonon density of states, specific heat at constant volume, and lattice thermal conductivity of material under uniaxial strain. The phonon properties and lattice thermal conductivity of Mg2Si under uniaxial strain have been explored first time in this report.

文摘Considering the actual magnetic field configuration in a Hall thruster, the effect of magnetic mirror on the radial profile of near-wall conductivity （NWC） is studied in this paper. The plasma electron dynamic process is described by the test particle method. The Monte Carlo scheme is used to solve this model. The radial profile of electron mobility is obtained and the role of magnetic mirror in NWC is analysed both theoretically and numerically. The numerical results show that the electron mobility peak due to NWC is inversely proportional to the magnetic mirror ratio and the asymmetry of electron mobility along the radial direction gets greater when the magnetic mirror is considered. This effect indicates that apart from the disparity in the magnetic field strength, the difference in the magnetic mirror ratio near the inner and outer walls would actually augment the asymmetry of the radial profile of NWC in Hall thrusters.

The R–T compounds are studied by means of magnetic measurements, heat capacity measurements, magnetoresistance measurements and neutron powder diffraction measurements. The R–T compounds show complex magnetic transitions and interesting magnetic properties.The types of magnetic transitions are investigated and confirmed in detail by multiple approaches. Especially, most of the R–T compounds undergo more than one magnetic transition, which has significant impact on the magnetocaloric effect of R–T compounds. The MCE of R–T compounds are calculated by different ways and the special shapes of MCE peaks for different compounds are investigated and discussed in detail. To improve the MCE performance of R–T compounds,atoms with large spin（S） and atoms with large total angular momentum（J） are introduced to substitute the related rare earth atoms. With the atom substitution, the maximum of magnetic entropy change（？SM）, refrigerant temperature width（Twidth）or refrigerant capacity（RC） is enlarged for some R–T compounds.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)magnetic materials have aroused tremendous interest due to the 2D confinement of magnetism and potential applications in spintronic and valleytronic devices.However,most of the currently 2D magnetic materials are achieved by the exfoliation from their bulks,of which the thickness and domain size are difficult to control,limiting the practical device applications.Here,we demonstrate the realization of thickness-tunable rhombohedral Cr_(2)Se_(3)nanosheets on different substrates via the chemical vapor deposition route.The magnetic transition temperature at about 75 K is observed.Furthermore,van der Waals heterostructures consisting of Cr_(2)Se_(3)nanosheets and monolayer WS2 are constructed.We observe the magnetic proximity effect in the heterostructures,which manifests the manipulation of the valley polarization in monolayer WS2.Our work contributes to the vapor growth and applications of 2D magnetic materials.
文摘The structure, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the Ge-rich Gd5Ge2.05-xSi1.95-xMn2x （x=0.01 and 0.03） alloys were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） and magnetization measurements. The results of energy dispersive X-ray analysis （EDX） and X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the composition and crystal structure of the alloys were desired. DSC measurements were performed to determine the transformation temperatures for each alloy. Both alloys exhibited the first order phase transition around room temperature. The alloys showed an anti-ferromagnetic transition around 60 K. The isothermal magnetic entropy changes of the alloys were determined from the isothermal magnetization measurements by using the Maxwell relation. The maximum values of isothermal magnetic entropy change of the Gd5Ge2.05-xSi1.95-xMn2x alloy with x=0.01 was found to be -12.1 and -19.8 J/（kg·K） using Maxwell equation around 268 K in applied fields of 2 and 5 T, respectively.
文摘The magnetic field effects （MFEs） are studied on photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue （MB） solution using ZnO and TiO2 particles. The UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer is used to monitor the MB concentrations, and the dependence of the reaction rate on the initial dye concentration and settling duration is studied under UV light irradiation. It is found that the MFEs exist on the heterogeneous reaction systems for both ZnO and TiO2 powders and that the extraordinary phenomenon is reproducible. For ZnO powder, the results are in good agreement with the second-order reaction kinetics following the Langmuir-Hinshelwood （L-H） model, while the reaction for TiO2 follows first-order kinetics. It enhances the photodegradation for ZnO, while it reduces or enhances the reaction for TiO2 depending on the initial dye concentrations. The MFEs become small or negligible when the same photodecomposition experiment is carried out after settling the MB solution for more than three hours for both ZnO and TiO2. It is suggested that the key factors of MFEs on photocatalytic degradation is the condition of the MB solution as well as the characteristics of photocatalysts. The alteration of the MFEs ascribed to the solution condition caused by variation of the settling time.

文摘The microstructure, magnetic entropy changes, hysteresis and magnetic properties of La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.5–x）Si_x（x=0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7） compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer（SQUID）. The results showed that all the compounds presented cubic Na Zn13-type structure. Their Curie temperatures changed complicatedly with decreasing Al content due to changes of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interaction. Under a field change from 0 to 2 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change for La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.1）Si_（0.4）, La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.0）Si_（0.5）, La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（0.9）Si_（0.6） and La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（0.8）Si_（0.7） were found to be –9.6, –4.8, –5.8 and –11.7 J/（kg·K）, respectively. Moreover, their hysteresis losses were 1.13 J/（kg·K） or less. The large magnetic entropy changed and small hysteresis losses made them potential candidates for practical magnetic refrigeration application.

文摘Magnetic radiation phenomena appear inevitably in the magnetic-resonance wireless power transfer （MR-WPT） system, and regarding this problem the magnetic-shielding scheme is applied to improve the electromagnetic performance in engineering. In this study, the shielding effectiveness of a two-coil MR-WPT system for different material shields is analyzed in theory using Moser＇s formula and Schelkunoff＇s formula. On this basis a candidate magnetic-shielding scheme with a double-layer structure is determined, which has better shielding effectiveness and coils coupling coefficient. Finally, some finite element simulation results validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis, and the shielding effectiveness with the double-layer shield in maximum is 30？dB larger than the one with the single-layer case.

文摘The μi-T curves of the alloy Fe73.5Cu1 Nb3Si13.5B9 in the amorphous state and in the nanocrys-talline state have been investigated. For comparison, μi-T curves of the other two kinds of typical soft magnetic alloys also have been measured. It was found that a sharp Hopkinson peak appeared at the Curie point for each amorphous and crystalline alloy but there was no Hopkinson peak for the nanocrystalline alloy at the Curie point of the residual amorphous phase. This phenomenon has been explained in terms of the characteristic temperature dependence of the effective magnetic anisotropy.

文摘The doping effects on the frustration and the magnetic properties in hexagonal compounds ot YMn0.9A0.1O3 （A=A1, Fe and Cu） are investigated. Experimental results indicate that both the non-magnetic and magnetic ion dopants lead to the increase of magnetic moments and the decrease of the absolute value of Curie-Weiss temperature （｜θcw｜）- Compared with pure YMnOa, the geometrical frustration of YMn0.9 A0. 1O3 is greatly suppressed and the magnetic coupling in that exhibits dopant-dependent. In addition, for the doped YMno.gAo.103, the antiferromagnetic transition temperature （TN） is also suppressed slightly, which shows an abnormal dilution effect and it may be ascribed to the reduction of frustration due to the chemical substitution.
文摘The excitation and evolution of magnetohydrodynamic density waves are considered in a differentially rotating thin gaseous disk embedded with both an azimuthal magnetic field and a vertical magnetic field perpendicular to the disk. Our results shows that the effect of isopedic vertical magnetic fields tend to stabilize the fast MHD density waves while slow MHD density waves are not affected by such vertical magnetic fields for either rigid or differential rotation.
