Let G be a simple graph of order n and λ1, λ2, . . . , λn be the zeros of its matching polynomial. The matching energy of a graph G is defined as ME(G) = Pni=1 |λi|. By the famous Coulson’s formula, matching energies can also be calculated by an improper integral depending on a parameter. A k-claw attaching graph Gu(k) refers to the graph obtained by attaching k pendent edges to the graph G at the vertex u, where u is called the root of Gu(k). In this paper, we use some theories of mathematical analysis to obtain a new technique to compare the matching energies of two k-claw attaching graphs Gu(k) and Hv(k) with the same order, that is, limk→∞[ME(Gu(k)) − ME(Hv(k))] = ME(G − u) − ME(H − v). By the technique, we finally determine unicyclic graphs of order n with the 9th to 13th minimal matching energies for all n ≥ 58.展开更多

Th...This study explores the complex dynamics of unsteady convective flow in micropolar nanofluids over a rough conical surface, with a focus on the effects of triple diffusive transport and Arrhenius activation energy. The primary objective is to understand the interplay among nonlinear convection, micro-rotation effects, and species diffusion under the influence of thermal and electromagnetic forces. The analysis is motivated by practical applications of cryogenic fluids, specifically liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen,where precise control of heat and mass transport is critical. The conical surface roughness is mathematically modeled as a high-frequency, small-amplitude sinusoidal waveform.To address the non-similar nature of the boundary-layer equations, Mangler's transformations are employed, followed by the implementation of a finite difference scheme for numerical solutions. The methodology further integrates a machine learning-based neural network to predict the skin friction under the influence of roughness-induced perturbations, ensuring computational efficiency and improved generalization. The study yields several novel findings. Notably, the presence of surface roughness introduces the wavelike modulations in the local skin friction coefficient. It is also observed that nonlinear convective interactions, enhanced by temperature gradients and vortex viscosity parameters, significantly intensify near-wall velocity gradients. Moreover, key physical quantities are correlated with governing parameters using power-law relationships, providing generalized predictive models. The validation of the numerical results is achieved through consistency checks with the existing limiting solutions and convergence analysis, ensuring the reliability of the proposed computational framework.展开更多

Based on the calculation results, the predominantly exposed surfaces in the morphologies of scheelite crystals were predicted. {112} and {001} cleavage surfaces and {112} crystal surface are the commonly exposed surfaces, which are consistent with both previous literatures and the present experimental observations based on the XRD. Cleavage generates more easily along {112} surfaces than along {001} surfaces due to their different interlayer spacings. The surface roughness and appearance of different predominantly exposed surfaces were then investigated using AFM. The roughness of smooth {112} cleavage surface is the lowest among these three surfaces. On {001} cleavage surface, terraces are flat and separated by steps of about 10 nm in height. Subsequently, contact angle measurements were adopted to evaluate the wettability and surface energies of these surfaces. The surface energies evaluated directly correspond to the trend calculated with DFT.展开更多

First, adding a restriction, the lattice maintains rigidity when solute atom migrates to the saddle point. In this step, the hybridization classes of every atom do not change. Then, the restriction is loosed and the atoms are relaxed under the coulomb repulsive forces. It is supposed that the energy needed in the first step would be compensated partly by the second step. In this way, the diffusion active energies of C, N in γFe are computed. Compared with the experiment data, the relative errors are less than 5%, which are good results in the computation of activation energy of diffusion.展开更多

The structure consists mainly of dislocations dissociated into a /2〈011〉 super partials bounding an anti phase boundary (APB). Dislocations dissociated into a /3〈112〉 super Shockley partials bounding a superlattice intrinsic stacking fault (SISF) are also common debris. The majority of the SISFs are truncated loops, i.e. the partials bounding the SISF are of similar Burgers vector. These faulted loops are generated from APB coupled dislocations, according to a mechanism for formation of SISFs proposed by Suzuki et al , and recently modified by Chiba et al . The APB energies for {111} and {010} slip planes are measured to be 144±20 mJ/m 2 and 102±11 mJ/m 2 respectively, and the SISF energy has been estimated to be 12 mJ/m 2 in this alloy. It is concluded that the dislocation structure in Ni 74.5 Pd 2Al 23.5 alloy deformed at room temperature is similar to that in binary Ni 3Al, and the difference in fault energies between these two alloys is small. Thus, it seems unlikely that the enhancement of ductility of Ni 74.5 Pd 2Al 23.5 results from only such a small decrease of the ordering energy of the alloy. SISF bounding dislocations also have no apparent influence on the ductilization of Ni 74.5 Pd 2Al 23.5 alloy.展开更多

In the calculations, the contributions from Breit interaction and quantum electrodynamics （QED） effects （vacuum polarization and self-energy）, as well as nu- clear finite mass and volume effects, are taken into account. The calculated transition energies and rates are found to be in good agreement with other experimental and theoretical results. The accuracy of the results is estimated and discussed. Furthermore, we calculated the transition energies of the same lines radiating from the decaying transitions of the K-, L-, and M-shell hole states of Np ions with the charge states Np1＋ to Np6＋ for the first time. We found that for a specific line, the corresponding transition energies relating to all the Np ions are almost the same; it means the outermost electrons have a very small influence on the inner-shell transition processes.展开更多

In this study, the ...Reliable calculations of nuclear binding energies are crucial for advancing the research of nuclear physics. Machine learning provides an innovative approach to exploring complex physical problems. In this study, the nuclear binding energies are modeled directly using a machine-learning method called the Gaussian process. First, the binding energies for 2238 nuclei with Z > 20 and N > 20 are calculated using the Gaussian process in a physically motivated feature space, yielding an average deviation of 0.046 MeV and a standard deviation of 0.066 MeV. The results show the good learning ability of the Gaussian process in the studies of binding energies. Then, the predictive power of the Gaussian process is studied by calculating the binding energies for 108 nuclei newly included in AME2020. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data, reflecting the good predictive power of the Gaussian process. Moreover, the α-decay energies for 1169 nuclei with 50 ≤ Z ≤ 110 are derived from the theoretical binding energies calculated using the Gaussian process. The average deviation and the standard deviation are, respectively, 0.047 MeV and 0.070 MeV. Noticeably, the calculated α-decay energies for the two new isotopes ^ (204 )Ac(Huang et al. Phys Lett B 834, 137484(2022)) and ^ (207) Th(Yang et al. Phys Rev C 105, L051302(2022)) agree well with the latest experimental data. These results demonstrate that the Gaussian process is reliable for the calculations of nuclear binding energies. Finally, the α-decay properties of some unknown actinide nuclei are predicted using the Gaussian process. The predicted results can be useful guides for future research on binding energies and α-decay properties.展开更多

The linear ground-state structures of BS （C∞v, ^1∑^＋） and BS2^- （O∞h, ^1∑g^＋） prove to be similar to the previously reported BO and BO2 with systematically lower electron detachment energies. Small boron sulfide clusters are found to favor the formation of -B=S groups which function basically as a-radicals and dominate the ground-state structures of the systems. The perfect linear B（BS）2^-（D∞h, ^3∑g） and beautiful equilateral triangle B（BS）3^- （D3h,^2A1”） turn out to be analogous to the well-known C2v BH2 and O3h BH3, respectively. The electron affinities of BS, BS2, B（BS）2 and B（BS）3 are predicted to be 2.3, 3.69, 3.00 and 3.45 eV, respectively. The electron detachment energies calculated for BS^-, BS2^-, B（BS）2^-, and B（BS）3^- may facilitate future photoelectron spectroscopy measurements to characterize the geometrical and electronic structures of these anions.展开更多

文摘The concept of matching energy was proposed by Gutman and Wagner firstly in 2012. Let G be a simple graph of order n and λ1, λ2, . . . , λn be the zeros of its matching polynomial. The matching energy of a graph G is defined as ME(G) = Pni=1 |λi|. By the famous Coulson’s formula, matching energies can also be calculated by an improper integral depending on a parameter. A k-claw attaching graph Gu(k) refers to the graph obtained by attaching k pendent edges to the graph G at the vertex u, where u is called the root of Gu(k). In this paper, we use some theories of mathematical analysis to obtain a new technique to compare the matching energies of two k-claw attaching graphs Gu(k) and Hv(k) with the same order, that is, limk→∞[ME(Gu(k)) − ME(Hv(k))] = ME(G − u) − ME(H − v). By the technique, we finally determine unicyclic graphs of order n with the 9th to 13th minimal matching energies for all n ≥ 58.

文摘This study explores the complex dynamics of unsteady convective flow in micropolar nanofluids over a rough conical surface, with a focus on the effects of triple diffusive transport and Arrhenius activation energy. The primary objective is to understand the interplay among nonlinear convection, micro-rotation effects, and species diffusion under the influence of thermal and electromagnetic forces. The analysis is motivated by practical applications of cryogenic fluids, specifically liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen,where precise control of heat and mass transport is critical. The conical surface roughness is mathematically modeled as a high-frequency, small-amplitude sinusoidal waveform.To address the non-similar nature of the boundary-layer equations, Mangler's transformations are employed, followed by the implementation of a finite difference scheme for numerical solutions. The methodology further integrates a machine learning-based neural network to predict the skin friction under the influence of roughness-induced perturbations, ensuring computational efficiency and improved generalization. The study yields several novel findings. Notably, the presence of surface roughness introduces the wavelike modulations in the local skin friction coefficient. It is also observed that nonlinear convective interactions, enhanced by temperature gradients and vortex viscosity parameters, significantly intensify near-wall velocity gradients. Moreover, key physical quantities are correlated with governing parameters using power-law relationships, providing generalized predictive models. The validation of the numerical results is achieved through consistency checks with the existing limiting solutions and convergence analysis, ensuring the reliability of the proposed computational framework.

文摘Surface energies of five different surfaces of scheelite crystal were calculated using density functional theory （DFT）. Based on the calculation results, the predominantly exposed surfaces in the morphologies of scheelite crystals were predicted. {112} and {001} cleavage surfaces and {112} crystal surface are the commonly exposed surfaces, which are consistent with both previous literatures and the present experimental observations based on the XRD. Cleavage generates more easily along {112} surfaces than along {001} surfaces due to their different interlayer spacings. The surface roughness and appearance of different predominantly exposed surfaces were then investigated using AFM. The roughness of smooth {112} cleavage surface is the lowest among these three surfaces. On {001} cleavage surface, terraces are flat and separated by steps of about 10 nm in height. Subsequently, contact angle measurements were adopted to evaluate the wettability and surface energies of these surfaces. The surface energies evaluated directly correspond to the trend calculated with DFT.
文摘A structure relaxation model based on the empirical electron theory of solids and molecules is developed to compute the diffusion active energies of C, N in γFe. First, adding a restriction, the lattice maintains rigidity when solute atom migrates to the saddle point. In this step, the hybridization classes of every atom do not change. Then, the restriction is loosed and the atoms are relaxed under the coulomb repulsive forces. It is supposed that the energy needed in the first step would be compensated partly by the second step. In this way, the diffusion active energies of C, N in γFe are computed. Compared with the experiment data, the relative errors are less than 5%, which are good results in the computation of activation energy of diffusion.
文摘Dislocation structures in polycrystalline Ni 3Al alloy doped with palladium deformed at room temperature have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The structure consists mainly of dislocations dissociated into a /2〈011〉 super partials bounding an anti phase boundary (APB). Dislocations dissociated into a /3〈112〉 super Shockley partials bounding a superlattice intrinsic stacking fault (SISF) are also common debris. The majority of the SISFs are truncated loops, i.e. the partials bounding the SISF are of similar Burgers vector. These faulted loops are generated from APB coupled dislocations, according to a mechanism for formation of SISFs proposed by Suzuki et al , and recently modified by Chiba et al . The APB energies for {111} and {010} slip planes are measured to be 144±20 mJ/m 2 and 102±11 mJ/m 2 respectively, and the SISF energy has been estimated to be 12 mJ/m 2 in this alloy. It is concluded that the dislocation structure in Ni 74.5 Pd 2Al 23.5 alloy deformed at room temperature is similar to that in binary Ni 3Al, and the difference in fault energies between these two alloys is small. Thus, it seems unlikely that the enhancement of ductility of Ni 74.5 Pd 2Al 23.5 results from only such a small decrease of the ordering energy of the alloy. SISF bounding dislocations also have no apparent influence on the ductilization of Ni 74.5 Pd 2Al 23.5 alloy.

文摘A density functional theory(DFT)study was employed to investigate the mechanical property,thermal conductivity,Debye temperature,electronic structure and defect chemistry of(Gd_(1-x)Sm_(x))_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7).All the(Gd_(1-x)Sm_(x))_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7) compounds exhibit an excellent structural and mechanical stability(Gd_(0.25)Sm_(0.75))_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7) has the lowest Young’s modulus of 213.7 GPa,the largest Possion’s ratio of 0.292,the lowest Debye temperature of 491.8 K and the lowest thermal conductivity.The calculated thermal conductivities of(Gd_(1-x)Sm_(x))_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7) are 1.17-1.21 W/(m·K)by the Clark’s model and 1.32-1.36 W/(m·K)by the Cahall’s model,respectively.The formation energies of O vacancies at 48f site are negative,which increase with the Sm content,however,the formation energies of O vacancies at 8b site are almost invariable.In addition,Sm partly occupying the Gd-site reduces distinctly the formation energies of defects such as A-site vacancies,cation antisite defects,anion Frenkel pairs of oxygen at 8b site and cation interstitials,which suggests that Sm-doped Gd_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7),especially equimolar GdSmZr_(2)O_(7),has a better irradiation tolerance.After the 16 MeVTa-ion irradiation at a fluence of 1×10^(14) or 2×10^(14) ions/cm^(2),the crystal structure of GdSmZr_(2)O_(7) transforms from pyrochlore to a defect fluorite without obvious amorphous phase.
文摘Rhythmic oscillatory patterns sustain cellular dynamics,driving the concerted action of regulatory molecules,microtubules,and molecular motors.We describe cellular microtubules as oscillators capable of synchronization and swarming,generating mechanical and electric patterns that impact biomolecular recognition.We consider the biological relevance of seeing the inside of cells populated by a network of molecules that behave as bioelectronic circuits and chromophores.We discuss the novel perspectives disclosed by mechanobiology,bioelectromagnetism,and photobiomodulation,both in term of fundamental basic science and in light of the biomedical implication of using physical energies to govern(stem)cell fate.We focus on the feasibility of exploiting atomic force microscopy and hyperspectral imaging to detect signatures of nanomotions and electromagnetic radiation(light),respectively,generated by the stem cells across the specification of their multilineage repertoire.The chance is reported of using these signatures and the diffusive features of physical waves to direct specifically the differentiation program of stem cells in situ,where they already are resident in all the tissues of the human body.We discuss how this strategy may pave the way to a regenerative and precision medicine without the needs for(stem)cell or tissue transplantation.We describe a novel paradigm based upon boosting our inherent ability for self-healing.

文摘The exploration of reaction dynamics,particularly the breakup and fusion mechanisms of proton drip-line nuclei at energies around the Coulomb barrier,is crucial in the feld of nuclear physics.This study reviews experimental investigations on the reactions induced by proton-rich nuclei,^(7)Be,^(8)B,and^(17)F,including elastic scattering and direct and fusion reactions at the near-barrier energies.In particular,we briefy introduce complete kinematic measurements of^(8)B+^(120)Sn and^(17)F+^(58)Ni at the energies of interest.Distinct reaction dynamics are observed for proton-rich nuclei compared with neutron-rich nuclei.

文摘Based on the ERA5 reanalysis datasets during 1980-2019,a total of eleven zonal shear lines(ZSLs)that caused heavy precipitation and lasted more than 60 hours over the Tibetan Plateau in summer are selected for composite analysis.By decomposing the kinetic energy(K)near the ZSL into divergent and rotational kinetic energies(K_(D)and K_(R))and the kinetic energy of interaction between the divergent wind and the rotational wind(K_(R)D),the influence of the rotational and divergent winds on the evolution of the ZSL intensity is investigated from the perspective of K_(D)and K_(R).The main results are as follows.The ZSL is a comprehensive reflection of rotation and convergence.The intensity evolution of ZSL is essentially synchronized with those of K,K_(R),and K_(RD)but lags behind K_(D)by about three hours.The enhancement of K is mainly contributed by K_(R),which is governed by the conversion from K_(D)to K_(R).Furthermore,the increase in the conversion from K_(D)to K_(R)is controlled by the geostrophic effect term Af,which is determined by the joint enhancement of the zonal rotational and meridional divergent wind components(u_(R)and v_(D)).Therefore,the joint enhancement of u_(R)and v_(D)controls the increase of the ZSL intensity,leading to increased precipitation.

文摘The transition energies and electric dipole （El） transition rates of the K, L, and M lines in neutral Np have been theoretically determined from the MultiConfiguration Dirac-Fock （MCDF） method. In the calculations, the contributions from Breit interaction and quantum electrodynamics （QED） effects （vacuum polarization and self-energy）, as well as nu- clear finite mass and volume effects, are taken into account. The calculated transition energies and rates are found to be in good agreement with other experimental and theoretical results. The accuracy of the results is estimated and discussed. Furthermore, we calculated the transition energies of the same lines radiating from the decaying transitions of the K-, L-, and M-shell hole states of Np ions with the charge states Np1＋ to Np6＋ for the first time. We found that for a specific line, the corresponding transition energies relating to all the Np ions are almost the same; it means the outermost electrons have a very small influence on the inner-shell transition processes.

文摘Reliable calculations of nuclear binding energies are crucial for advancing the research of nuclear physics. Machine learning provides an innovative approach to exploring complex physical problems. In this study, the nuclear binding energies are modeled directly using a machine-learning method called the Gaussian process. First, the binding energies for 2238 nuclei with Z > 20 and N > 20 are calculated using the Gaussian process in a physically motivated feature space, yielding an average deviation of 0.046 MeV and a standard deviation of 0.066 MeV. The results show the good learning ability of the Gaussian process in the studies of binding energies. Then, the predictive power of the Gaussian process is studied by calculating the binding energies for 108 nuclei newly included in AME2020. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data, reflecting the good predictive power of the Gaussian process. Moreover, the α-decay energies for 1169 nuclei with 50 ≤ Z ≤ 110 are derived from the theoretical binding energies calculated using the Gaussian process. The average deviation and the standard deviation are, respectively, 0.047 MeV and 0.070 MeV. Noticeably, the calculated α-decay energies for the two new isotopes ^ (204 )Ac(Huang et al. Phys Lett B 834, 137484(2022)) and ^ (207) Th(Yang et al. Phys Rev C 105, L051302(2022)) agree well with the latest experimental data. These results demonstrate that the Gaussian process is reliable for the calculations of nuclear binding energies. Finally, the α-decay properties of some unknown actinide nuclei are predicted using the Gaussian process. The predicted results can be useful guides for future research on binding energies and α-decay properties.

文摘A density functional theory investigation on the geometries, electronic structures, and electron detachment energies of BS, BS2, B（BS）2 and B（BS）3 has been performed in this work. The linear ground-state structures of BS （C∞v, ^1∑^＋） and BS2^- （O∞h, ^1∑g^＋） prove to be similar to the previously reported BO and BO2 with systematically lower electron detachment energies. Small boron sulfide clusters are found to favor the formation of -B=S groups which function basically as a-radicals and dominate the ground-state structures of the systems. The perfect linear B（BS）2^-（D∞h, ^3∑g） and beautiful equilateral triangle B（BS）3^- （D3h,^2A1”） turn out to be analogous to the well-known C2v BH2 and O3h BH3, respectively. The electron affinities of BS, BS2, B（BS）2 and B（BS）3 are predicted to be 2.3, 3.69, 3.00 and 3.45 eV, respectively. The electron detachment energies calculated for BS^-, BS2^-, B（BS）2^-, and B（BS）3^- may facilitate future photoelectron spectroscopy measurements to characterize the geometrical and electronic structures of these anions.

文摘The thermodynamical properties of MgCl_2 in KCI-MgCl_2-LiCl molten electrolytes containing MgCl_2 below 0.5 (mole fraction, the same below) have been determined from the interchange energies of two binary systems KCI-MgCl_2 and LiCI-MgCl_2, by means of a model on the assumptions that the electrolytes in the solution are treated as independent particles instead of their ion forms and the interchange energy between the component pair KCI-LiCl is ignored when compared with those of component pairs KCl-MgCl_2 and MgCl_2-LiCl. The interchange energies, wKCl-MgCl_2 and wMgcCl_2-Licl, are obtained as-70000 and -13800 J.mol-1, from the corresponding binary solutions, respectively.

文摘With the emergence of new materials for high-efficiency organic solar cells(OSCs),understanding and finetuning the interface energetics become increasingly important.Precise determination of the so-called pinning energies,one of the critical characteristics of the material to predict the energy level alignment(ELA)at either electrode/organic or organic/organic interfaces,are urgently needed for the new materials.Here,pinning energies of a wide variety of newly developed donors and nonfullerene acceptors(NFAs)are measured through ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy.The positive pinning energies of the studied donors and the negative pinning energies of NFAs are in the same energy range of 4.3−4.6 eV,which follows the design rules developed for fullerene-based OSCs.The ELA for metal/organic and inorganic/organic interfaces follows the predicted behavior for all of the materials studied.For organic-organic heterojunctions where both the donor and the NFA feature strong intramolecular charge transfer,the pinning energies often underestimate the experimentally obtained interface vacuum level shift,which has consequences for OSC device performance.
