In this paper, the core structure and Peierls stress of collinear dissociated （111）{110} edge superdislocations in NiAl and FeAl are investigated with the modified P-N dislocation equation. The generalized stacking fault energy curve along （111） direction in {110} slip plane contains two modification factors that can assure the antiphase energy and the unstable stacking fault energy to change independently.

The dimension of core/shell structured nanoparticles was that of 4nm core and 2 nm shell. After annealing under a flow of forming gas （50%Ar2＋30%H2） for 1 h at or above 400℃, the iron oxide shell was reduced to Fe and diffused to Pt-rieh core, which leaded to the formation of L1. phase FePt at low temperature. The x-ray diffraction results and magnetic properties measurement showed that the chemical ordering temperature of Fe30Pt70/Fe3O4 core/shell nanoparticles assembly can be reduced to as low as 400℃. The sample annealed at 400℃ showed the eoereivity of 4KOe with the applied field of 1.5T. The core/shell structure was suggested to be an effective way to reduce the ordering temperature obviously.展开更多

The solubility of LaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋ nanocrystals in water and the biocompatibility are both improved by the SiO2 shell.

A 24-hour simulation starting from 0000 UTC 21 January 1997 successfully reproduced the observed features of the polar low such as the wrapping of western part of an initial E-W orientation vortex, the spiral-shaped bands, the cloud-free 'eye', and the warm core structure at its mature stage. The 'eye' of the simulated polar low was relatively dry, and was associated with a strong downdraft. A thermodynamic budget analysis indicates that the 'warm core' in the 'eye' region was mainly caused by the adiabatic warming associated with the downdraft. The relationship among the condensational diabatic heating, the vertical velocity, the convergence of the moisture flux, and the circulation averaged within a 50 km×50 km square area around the polar low center shows that they form a positive feedback loop, and this loop is not inconsistent with the CISK (Conditional Instability of the Second Kind) mechanism during the developing stage of the polar low.展开更多

The governing equation of free vibration and its corresponding eigenvalue problem, which is a set of equations for laterally flexural vibrations in two different directions coupled by a warping-St. Venant torsional vibration, are derived. Based on the Calerkin method, a generalized approximate method is developed for the analysis of coupled vibration and thus proposed for determining the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure in triply-coupled vibration. The results of the proposed method for the example structure show good agreement with those of the FEM analysis. The proposed method has been shown to provide a simple and rapid, yet accurate, means for coupled vibration analysis of core structures.展开更多

In this Letter, a compact Mach–Zehnder interferometer(MZI) fiber sensor for vector bending measurement is proposed and investigated. This sensor is prepared by off-axis splicing seven-core fibers(SCFs) and multi-mode fibers(MMFs) with different core diameters, which achieves a compact sensing length of 8 mm. The chirped core fiber structure excites the high-order cladding mode in the interference component, which enhances the sensing sensitivity. Experimental results indicate that the maximum bending sensitivity of the sensor is-230 nm/m^(-1). Moreover,the three bending directions of the sensor can be distinguished by judging the variations of the two interference dips during the measuring process. The proposed method and thought can provide some operating experience and principles for the allfiber curvature sensor design.展开更多

文摘Material composition and structural design are important factors influencing the electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption performance of materials.To alleviate the impedance mismatch attributed to the high dielectric constant of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)MXene,we have successfully synthesized core‐shell structured SiO_(2)@MXene@MoS_(2)nanospheres.This architecture,comprising SiO_(2) as the core,MXene as the intermediate layer,and MoS_(2) as the outer shell,is achieved through an electrostatic self‐assembly method combined with a hydrothermal process.This complex core‐shell structure not only provides a variety of loss mechanisms that effectively dissipate electromagnetic energy but also prevents self‐aggregation of MXene and MoS_(2) nanosheets.Notably,the synergistic combination of SiO_(2) and MoS_(2) with highly conductive MXene enables the suitable dielectric constant of the composites,ensuring optimal impedance matching.Therefore,the core‐shell structured SiO_(2)@MXene@MoS_(2) nanospheres exhibit excellent EMW absorption performance,featuring a remarkable minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of−52.11 dB(2.4 mm).It is noteworthy that these nanospheres achieve an ultra‐wide effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 6.72 GHz.This work provides a novel approach for designing and synthesizing high‐performance EMW absorbers characterized by“wide bandwidth and strong reflection loss.”

文摘In order to restrain the huge volume expansion of bismuth(Bi)anodes in sodium ion batteries(SIBs),the core-shell structure Bi@mesoporous carbon nanospheres(Bi@mC)composite was designed and prepared by sol-gel method coupled heat treatment.Structural characterization displays that the average diameter of the as-prepared Bi@mC composites is about 200 nm and thickness of the N-doped mesoporous carbon shells is 20-30 nm.Electrochemical test and kinetic analysis results show that the mesoporous carbon shell can not only effectively relieve the stress caused by volume expansion of Bi and protect active material from pulverization caused by the stress during charging/discharging process,but also facilitate quick diffusion of sodium ions,thus improving rate and cycling performance.Bi@mC delivers a high specific capacity of 279 mA·h/g and a capacity retention of 97.6%after 3500 cycles at a current density of 5 A/g.Even at a high current density of 20 A/g,Bi@mC can still maintain a high specific capacity of 266 mA·h/g.Additionally,the Bi@mC//NVP full button sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)assembled using Bi@mC anode and Na_(3)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)(NVP)cathode deliver an energy density of 182 W·h/kg.

文摘Magnetically separable bismuth ferrite(BiFeO3)nanoparticles were fabricated by a citrate self‐combustion method and coated with titanium dioxide(TiO2)by hydrolysis of titanium butoxide(Ti(OBu)4)to form BiFeO3@TiO2core-shell nanocomposites with different mass ratios of TiO2to BiFeO3.The photocatalytic performance of the catalysts was comprehensively investigated via photocatalytic oxidation of methyl violet(MV)under both ultraviolet and visible‐light irradiation.The BiFeO3@TiO2samples exhibited better photocatalytic performance than either BiFeO3or TiO2alone,and a BiFeO3@TiO2sample with a mass ratio of1:1and TiO2shell thickness of50-100nm showed the highest photo‐oxidation activity of the catalysts.The enhanced photocatalytic activity was ascribed to the formation of a p‐n junction of BiFeO3and TiO2with high charge separation efficiency as well as strong light absorption ability.Photoelectrochemical Mott-Schottky(MS)measurements revealed that both the charge carrier transportation and donor density of BiFeO3were markedly enhanced after introduction of TiO2.The mechanism of MV degradation is mainly attributed to hydroxyl radicals and photogenerated electrons based on energy band theory and the formation of an internal electrostatic field.In addition,the unique core-shell structure of BiFeO3@TiO2also promotes charge transfer at the BiFeO3/TiO2interface by increasing the contact area between BiFeO3and TiO2.Finally,the photocatalytic activity of BiFeO3@TiO2was further confirmed by degradation of other industrial dyes under visible‐light irradiation.

文摘In this paper, Fe30Pt70/Fe3O4 core/shell nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical routine and the layered polyethylenimine （PEI）-Fe30Pt70/Fe3O4 structure was constructed by molecule-mediated self-assembly technique. The dimension of core/shell structured nanoparticles was that of 4nm core and 2 nm shell. After annealing under a flow of forming gas （50%Ar2＋30%H2） for 1 h at or above 400℃, the iron oxide shell was reduced to Fe and diffused to Pt-rieh core, which leaded to the formation of L1. phase FePt at low temperature. The x-ray diffraction results and magnetic properties measurement showed that the chemical ordering temperature of Fe30Pt70/Fe3O4 core/shell nanoparticles assembly can be reduced to as low as 400℃. The sample annealed at 400℃ showed the eoereivity of 4KOe with the applied field of 1.5T. The core/shell structure was suggested to be an effective way to reduce the ordering temperature obviously.
文摘LaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋ nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using solvothermal treatment, and LaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋/SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles were also prepared with reverse microemulsion technique. The crystal structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties of as-prepared core/shell nanoparticles were in- vestigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The re- sults showed thatLaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋ nanoparticles are of hexagonal structure and SiO2 shell is amorphous. The size ofLaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋. nanoparticles is 13 nm and the LaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋/SiO2 nanoparticles present clearly a core/shell structure with 12 nm shell thickness. The solubility of LaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋ nanocrystals in water and the biocompatibility are both improved by the SiO2 shell. The upconversion luminescence spectra suggested that the SiO~ shell has small effect on the upconversion luminescence properties of the LaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋ nanocrys- tals. The core/shell structure LaF^3＋ Yb^3＋ , Er^3＋ /SiO2. nanopartlcles are expected to be used in biological appli- cations.

文摘Many networks exhibit the core/periphery structure.Core/periphery structure is a type of meso-scale structure that consists of densely connected core nodes and sparsely connected peripheral nodes.Core nodes tend to be well-connected,both among themselves and to peripheral nodes,which tend not to be well-connected to other nodes.In this brief report,we propose a new method to detect the core of a network by the centrality of each node.It is discovered that such nodes with non-negative centralities often consist in the core of the networks.The simulation is carried out on different real networks.The results are checked by the objective function.The checked results may show the effectiveness of the simulation results by the centralities of the nodes on the real networks.Furthermore,we discuss the characters of networks with the single core/periphery structure and point out the scope of the application of our method at the end of this paper.

文摘This paper presents a high-resolution simulation of a remarkable polar low observed over the Sea of Japan on 21 January 1997 by using a 5-km mesh non-hydrostatic model MRI-NHM (Meteorological Research Institute Non-Hydrostatic Model). A 24-hour simulation starting from 0000 UTC 21 January 1997 successfully reproduced the observed features of the polar low such as the wrapping of western part of an initial E-W orientation vortex, the spiral-shaped bands, the cloud-free 'eye', and the warm core structure at its mature stage. The 'eye' of the simulated polar low was relatively dry, and was associated with a strong downdraft. A thermodynamic budget analysis indicates that the 'warm core' in the 'eye' region was mainly caused by the adiabatic warming associated with the downdraft. The relationship among the condensational diabatic heating, the vertical velocity, the convergence of the moisture flux, and the circulation averaged within a 50 km×50 km square area around the polar low center shows that they form a positive feedback loop, and this loop is not inconsistent with the CISK (Conditional Instability of the Second Kind) mechanism during the developing stage of the polar low.
文摘This paper presents an analysis of the coupled vibration of asymmetric core structures in tall buildings. The governing equation of free vibration and its corresponding eigenvalue problem, which is a set of equations for laterally flexural vibrations in two different directions coupled by a warping-St. Venant torsional vibration, are derived. Based on the Calerkin method, a generalized approximate method is developed for the analysis of coupled vibration and thus proposed for determining the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure in triply-coupled vibration. The results of the proposed method for the example structure show good agreement with those of the FEM analysis. The proposed method has been shown to provide a simple and rapid, yet accurate, means for coupled vibration analysis of core structures.

文摘It is meaningful to develop a high-performance optic bending sensor characterized by effective direction judgment, compact length, and high sensitivity. In this Letter, a compact Mach–Zehnder interferometer(MZI) fiber sensor for vector bending measurement is proposed and investigated. This sensor is prepared by off-axis splicing seven-core fibers(SCFs) and multi-mode fibers(MMFs) with different core diameters, which achieves a compact sensing length of 8 mm. The chirped core fiber structure excites the high-order cladding mode in the interference component, which enhances the sensing sensitivity. Experimental results indicate that the maximum bending sensitivity of the sensor is-230 nm/m^(-1). Moreover,the three bending directions of the sensor can be distinguished by judging the variations of the two interference dips during the measuring process. The proposed method and thought can provide some operating experience and principles for the allfiber curvature sensor design.

文摘High dielectric constant can be reached in a reductive-sintered Sr_(1-x)Ba_(x)TiO_(3)barrier-layer capacitor with core‒rim structures as dominant microstructural features.By SEM and aberration-corrected TEM observations,an interfacial zone between the core and rim,named as white-rim(w-rim),was found always enriched with Ba,while the core was free of Ba solution.The reductive liquid-phase sintering resulted in three times the concentrations of oxygen vacancies(VO)into cores and rims compared to their A-site vacancies(VA),while enabling the highest concentration of VO(~17%)without VA in w-rim.The strained core/w-rim interfaces,with obvious interfacial polarizations,which can effectively raise the dielectric constant,were expected to be created from a temporary equilibrium between the cores and the liquidphase.The synergetic evolution of core‒rim structures,SreO vacancies,multiple internal polarized structures can be utilized to better control and optimize dielectric behaviors and other functionalities for perovskite capacitors and other multi-functional ceramics.

文摘The purpose of this study is to explore the adsorption performance of meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid(DMSA)modified Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanocomposite(Fe3O4@SiO2@DMSA)for Pb2+ions removal from aqueous solutions.The effects of solution pH,initial concentration of Pb2+ions,contact time,and temperature on the amount of Pb2+adsorbed were investigated.Adsorption isotherms,adsorption kinetics,and thermodynamic analysis were also studied.The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the Fe3O4@SiO2@DMSA composite is 50.5 mg/g at 298 K,which is higher than that of Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles.The adsorption process agreed well with Langmuir adsorption isotherm models and pseudo second-order kinetics.The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption was spontaneous,endothermic and energetically driven in nature.

文摘Rational construction of highly efficient and cheap bifunctional electrocatalysts to boost both oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)is extremely essential for the wide application of rechargeable metal-air battery.In this work,we design a core-shell structural catalyst of CoNi dual-metal embedded in nitrogen doped porous carbon(NPC,CoNi@NPC),which is developed via the pyrolysis of CoNiMOFs,assisting by mesoporous SiO_(2) to effectively inhibit the aggregation of metal sites.Consequently,the asprepared CoNi@NPC manifests good ORR activity with half-wave potential up to 0.77 V.Specifically,the CoNi@NPC gives a very low OER over-potential of merely 101 mV in 6 M KOH along with high stability,outperforming the commercial Pt/C-RuO_(2).Moreover,the home-made zinc air battery with CoNi@NPC air cathode demonstrates excellent stability over long-term charging–discharging test,and delivers the maximum power density of 224 mW cm^(-2).The enhanced high performance of CoNi@NPC bifunctional catalyst for both ORR and OER can be ascribed to its unique core-shell structure and strong synergistic effect between the dual-bimetal active sites and the heteroatom doped carbon.This work opens a new avenue for the rational design of nonprecious metal bifunctional catalysts for rechargeable metal-air battery.
文摘The hydrogenation of CO_(2) into methanol has attracted much attention and In_(2)O_(3) is a promising catalyst.Introducing metal elements into In_(2)O_(3)(M/In_(2)O_(3))is one of the main strategies to improve its performance.However,its mechanism and active sites remain unclear and need to be further elucidated.Here,the noble‐metal‐free In_(x)‐Co_(y) oxides catalysts were prepared.Much‐improved performance and obvious product selectivity shift were observed.The optimized catalyst(In_(1)‐Co_(4))(9.7 mmol g_(cat)^(–1) h^(–1))showed five times methanol yields than pure In_(2)O_(3)(2.2 mmol g_(cat)^(–1) h^(–1))(P=4.0 MPa,T=300°C,GHSV=24000 cm^(3)_(STP) g_(cat)^(–1) h^(–1),H_(2):CO_(2)=3).And the cobalt‐catalyzed CO_(2) methanation activity was suppressed,although cobalt was most of the metal element.To unravel this selectivity shift,detailed catalysts performance evaluation,together with several in‐situ and ex‐situ characterizations,were employed on cobalt and In‐Co for comparative study.The results indicated CO_(2) hydrogenation on cobalt and In‐Co catalyst both followed the formate pathway,and In‐Co reconstructed and generated a surface In_(2)O_(3)‐enriched core‐shell‐like structure under a reductive atmosphere.The enriched In_(2)O_(3) at the surface significantly enhanced CO_(2) adsorption capacity and well stabilized the intermediates of CO_(2) hydrogenation.CO_(2) and carbon‐containing intermediates adsorbed much stronger on In‐Co than cobalt led to a feasible surface C/H ratio,thus allowing the*CH_(3)O to desorb to produce CH_(3)OH instead of being over‐hydrogenated to CH_(4).
