And free energy, microstructures, compositions and volume fractions of pre-precipitation phase and equilibrium phase were analyzed. The simulation results indicate that nonstoichiometric Llo pre-precipitation phase formed first, and then would gradually transform into L12 equilibrium phase. It is discovered that the phase transformation process was closely related to free energy and interatomic potentials. Additionally, it is revealed that free energy of Llo pre-precipitation phase was higher and interatomic potential was smaller than that of L12 equilibrium phase. Therefore, it is concluded that Llo phase was unstable, and phase transformation would occur to L12 which was more stable.展开更多

文摘The phase equilibria relationship of the system RbCl-PEG6000-H2O were investigated at temperatures of 288.2,298.2,and 308.2 K,the compositions of solid-liquid equilibria(SLE)and liquid-liquid equilibria(LLE)were determined.The complete phase diagrams,binodal curve diagrams,and tie-line diagrams were all plotted.Results show that both solid-liquid equilibria and liquid-liquid equilibria relationships at each studied temperature.The complete phase diagrams at 288.2 K,298.2 K and 308.2 K consist of six phase regions:unsaturated liquid region(L),two saturated solutions with one solid phase of RbCl(L_S),one saturated liquid phase with two solid phases of PEG6000 and RbCl(2S+L),an aqueous two-phase region(2L),and a region with two liquids and one solid phase of RbCl(2L_S).With the increase in temperature,the layering ability of the aqueous two-phase system increases,and both regions(2L)and(2L_S)increase.The binodal curves were fitted using the nonlinear equations proposed by Mistry,Hu,and Jayapal.Additionally,the tie-line data were correlated with the Othmer-Tobias,Bancroft,Hand,and Bachman equations.The liquid-liquid equilibria at 288.2 K,298.2 K and 308.2 K were calculated using the NRTL model.The findings confirm that the experimental and calculated values are in close agreement,demonstrating the model’s effectiveness in representing the system’s behavior.
文摘The availability of a tremendous amount of seismic data demands seismological researchers to analyze seismic phases efficiently.Recently,deep learning algorithms exhibit a powerful capability of detecting and picking on P-and S-wave phases.However,it remains a challenge to effeciently process enormous teleseismic phases,which are crucial to probe Earth’s interior structures and their dynamics.In this study,we propose a scheme to detect and pick teleseismic phases,such as seismic phase that reflects off the core-mantle boundary(i.e.,PcP)and that reflects off the inner-core boundary(i.e.,PKiKP),from a seismic dataset in Japan.The scheme consists of three steps:1)latent phase traces are truncated from the whole seismogram with theoretical arrival times;2)latent phases are recognized and evaluated by convolutional neural network(CNN)models;3)arrivals of good or fair phase are picked with another CNN models.The testing detection result on 7386 seismograms shows that the scheme recognizes 92.15%and 94.13%of PcP and PKiKP phases.The testing picking result has a mean absolute error of 0.0742 s and 0.0636 s for the PcP and PKiKP phases,respectively.These seismograms were processed in just 5 min for phase detection and picking,demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed scheme in automatic teleseismic phase analysis.

文摘Active matter is a non-equilibrium condensed system consisting of self-propelled particles capable of converting stored or ambient energy into collective motion.Typical active matter systems include cytoskeleton biopolymers,swimming bacteria,artificial swimmers,and animal herds.In contrast to wet active matter,dry active matter is an active system characterized by the absence of significant hydrodynamic interactions and conserved momentum.In dry active matter,the role of surrounding fluids is providing viscous friction at low Reynolds numbers and can be neglected at high Reynolds numbers.This review offers a comprehensive overview of recent experimental,computational,and theoretical advances in understanding phase transitions and critical phenomena in dry aligning active matter,including polar particles,self-propelled rods,active nematics,and their chiral counterparts.Various ways of determining phase transition points as well as non-equilibrium phenomena,such as collective motion,cluster formation,and creation and annihilation of topological defects are reviewed.

文摘A phase-field model integrated with the thermodynamic databases was constructed to investigate the impact of Ni content on the precipitation kinetics and phase transformation of the Cu-rich phase in Fe-Cu-Ni alloy at 773 K.The results demonstrated that the Cu core-Ni shell structures form via the decomposition of Cu-Ni co-clusters,which is consistent with previous experimental results.As the Ni content increases,both the volume fraction and number density of Cu-rich precipitates increase,while their size decreases.With the increase in Ni content,the transformation from a Cu to 9R Cu is accelerated,which is the opposite to the result of increasing Mn content.Magnetic energy can increase the nucleation rate of the Cu-rich phase,but it does not affect the phase transformation driving force required for its crystal structure transformation.

文摘As an advanced device for observing atmospheric winds,the spaceborne Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne(DASH)interferometer also encounters challenges associated with phase distortion,par-ticularly in limb sounding scenarios.This paper discusses interferogram modeling and phase distortion cor-rection techniques for spaceborne DASH interferometers.The modeling of phase distortion interferograms with and without Doppler shift for limb observation was conducted,and the effectiveness of the analytical expression was verified through numerical simulation.The simulation results indicate that errors propagate layer by layer while using the onion-peeling inversion algorithm to handle phase-distorted interferograms.In contrast,the phase distortion correction algorithm can achieve effective correction.This phase correction method can be successfully applied to correct phase distortions in the interferograms of the spaceborne DASH interferometer,providing a feasible solution to enhance its measurement accuracy.

文摘The grain boundary diffusion process(GBDP)has proven to be an effective method for enhancing the coercivity of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets.However,the limited diffusion depth and thicker shell struc-ture have impeded the further development of magnetic properties.Currently,the primary debates re-garding the mechanism of GBDP with Tb revolve around the dissolution-solidification mechanism and the atomic substitution mechanism.To clarify this mechanism,the microstructure evolution of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets during the heating process of GBDP has been systematically studied by quenching at different tem peratures.In this study,it was found that the formation of TbFe_(2) phase is related to the dis-solution of _(2)Fe_(14)B grains during GBDP with Tb.The theory of mixing heat and phase separation further confirms that the Nd_(2)Fe_(14)B phase dissolves to form a mixed phase of Nd and TbFe_(2),which then solidifies into the(Nd,Tb)_(2)Fe_(14)B phase.Based on the discovery of the TbFe_(2) phase,the dissolution-solidification mechanism is considered the primary mechanism for GBDP.This is supported by the elemental content of the two typical core-shell structures observed.

文摘By utilizing phase field method combined with analysis on free energy and interatomic potentials, pre-precipitation phase formation and transformation process of Ni0.75Al0.05Fe0.2 alloy in early precipitation stage during the ageing process under 1 000 K were studied. And free energy, microstructures, compositions and volume fractions of pre-precipitation phase and equilibrium phase were analyzed. The simulation results indicate that nonstoichiometric Llo pre-precipitation phase formed first, and then would gradually transform into L12 equilibrium phase. It is discovered that the phase transformation process was closely related to free energy and interatomic potentials. Additionally, it is revealed that free energy of Llo pre-precipitation phase was higher and interatomic potential was smaller than that of L12 equilibrium phase. Therefore, it is concluded that Llo phase was unstable, and phase transformation would occur to L12 which was more stable.

文摘Organic ferroelastics with metal free features and intrinsically light weight are highly desirable for future applications in flexible,smart and biocompatible devices.However,organoferroelastics with plastic phase transition have rarely been reported yet.Herein,we discovered ferroelasticity in a pair of organic enantiomers,(1S and/or 1R)-2,10-camphorsultam(S-and R-CPS),which undergoes a high-T_(c)plastic phase transition.Both large entropies change of∼45 J mol^(-1)K^(-1)and evidently ductile deformation process confirm the plastic phase feature.Strip-like ferroelastic domain patterns and bidirectional domain movements have been observed via polarized light microscopy and nanoindentation technique,respectively.This work highlights the discovery of organic ferroelastic combining the features of enantiomers and plastic phase transition,which contributes insights into exploration of organic multifunctional materials.

文摘TiAl alloys with the(α2+γ)lamellar structure are highly valued for their excellent high-temperature strength and creep resistance.Understanding the formation mechanism of the lamellar structure is crucial for tuning the microstructure and properties.This work investigates the formation of lamellar structure in Ti-48AI-7Nb-2.5V-1Cr alloy,revealing the presence of hcp-based long-period superstructure(hcp-LPS)as a metastable phase during lamellar formation.The identification of hcp-LPS demonstrates that the necessary solute enrichment for the formation ofγlamellae occurs on the hexagonalαmatrix,implying that phase separation ofα→Al-richαlamellae+Al-depletedαlamellae is the first step of lamellar formation.Once phase separation is completed,all subsequent phase transitions occur within the Al-richαlamellae.Additionally,the formation of twin lamellae is further discussed.The formation of the twin lamellae occurs sequentially.Pre-existing lamella promotes the formation of later lamella by inducing so-lute enrichment in its surrounding region,and then the successive slip of Shockley partial dislocations with opposite Burgers vectors ensures special stacking of later lamellae.These findings not only con-tribute to the fundamental understanding of spinodal mechanisms in hexagonal crystals,but also provide novel insights into the formation of twin lamellae.
