This study investigated the adiabatic shear behavior of 12Cr1MoV steel under high-velocity impact from fragment-simulating projectile(FSP) using high-speed impact tests, numerical simulations, and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that the flat and wedge-shaped segments of the FSP experience different stress conditions and temperature fields during penetration. The asymmetry of the projectile has a pronounced effect on the morphology of the ASB. Two major failure modes were identified during the penetration process: tensile failure and shear failure, with pearlite exhibiting strengthening effects under both loading conditions. The ASB developed distinct microstructural characteristics with increasing impact velocity, exhibiting apparent sensitivity to temperatures and strain rates. Finally, the investigation of the ASB branches revealed the mechanisms underlying ASB formation and the initiation of catastrophic cracking.展开更多

The results demonstrated that the flat and wedge-shaped segments of the FSP experience different stress conditions and temperature fields during penetration. The asymmetry of the projectile has a pronounced effect on the morphology of the ASB. Two major failure modes were identified during the penetration process: tensile failure and shear failure, with pearlite exhibiting strengthening effects under both loading conditions. The ASB developed distinct microstructural characteristics with increasing impact velocity, exhibiting apparent sensitivity to temperatures and strain rates. Finally, the investigation of the ASB branches revealed the mechanisms underlying ASB formation and the initiation of catastrophic cracking.

文摘Premature adiabatic shear localization caused by strain softening is a roadblock for the application of body-centered cubic(BCC)structured high-entropy alloy(HEAs)in the impact field.A micron-scale orthorhombic-phase(O-phase)strengthened TiZrVNbAl alloy was developed to delay adiabatic shear failure and enhance dynamic ductility.The O-phase can not only reduce the slip length,but also promote the pinning and tangling of the dislocations near the phase boundaries.The introduction of the O-phase transformed the strain hardening rate from negative to positive,resulting in a significantly improved dynamic shear resistance.Meanwhile,slip transfer across the O-phase via dislocation cutting mechanisms and a reduction of slip band spacing guaranteed dynamic deformation uniformity.Benefiting from the introduction of the O-phase,the alloy exhibits an excellent stored energy density(∼446 J/cm^(3),surpass the reported BCC-HEAs and typical titanium alloys),a large dynamic fracture strain(∼42%)and a considerable dynamic specific yield strength(∼241 MPa cm^(3)g^(-1)).The present study presents an effective approach for developing BCC-HEAs with excellent dynamic shear resistance and plasticity.

文摘Adiabatic holonomic gates possess the geometric robustness of adiabatic geometric phases,i.e.,dependence only on the evolution path of the parameter space but not on the evolution details of the quantum system,which,when coordinated with decoherence-free subspaces,permits additional resilience to the collective dephasing environment.However,the previous scheme[Phys.Rev.Lett.95130501(2005)]of adiabatic holonomic quantum computation in decoherence-free subspaces requires four-body interaction that is challenging in practical implementation.In this work,we put forward a scheme to realize universal adiabatic holonomic quantum computation in decoherence-free subspaces using only realistically available two-body interaction,thereby avoiding the difficulty of implementing four-body interaction.Furthermore,an arbitrary one-qubit gate in our scheme can be realized by a single-shot implementation,which eliminates the need to combine multiple gates for realizing such a gate.

文摘We theoretically explore higher-order topological magnons in collinear altermagnets,encompassing a dimensional hierarchy ranging from localized corner modes to propagating hinge excitations.By employing antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling in bosonic Bogoliubov–de Gennes Hamiltonian,our work reveals anisotropic surface states and spatially distributed hinge modes propagating along facet intersections.We track the adiabatic evolution of Wannier centers to identify the bulk polarization with second-order topological magnon insulator,where various magnon spectra demonstrate symmetry-protected band structure beyond conventional topology.Leveraging the stability and propagative properties of hinge modes,these unconventional magnons demonstrate manipulability in atomic-scale modifications of termination.Our study integrates altermagnetism with higher-order topology,which advances magnon-based quantum computing processing energy-efficient integrated architectures and information transfer.
