This categorically expressed statement is based upon sufficient observational evidence tightly associated with our own suggested model and the preceded works of the same author. Using representative events measured by satellite, our main aim is to describe the nature of the fundamental mechanism determining the polarity of the B<sub>y</sub> deflections associated with intense earthward ionplasma flows. A major finding is that we either observe magnetic flux rope (MFR) like structures (that is, entities having all the morphological features of ropes; i.e., a dipolar signature of B<sub>z</sub> occurring simultaneously with peaked B<sub>y</sub> and B<sub>total</sub> deflections) or mere B<sub>y</sub> deflections, however, the sign for all these (B<sub>y</sub>deflections) is always determined by the satellite placement in north (positive) or south (negative) plasma sheet. Therefore, the MFR-like structures located earthward of the source are most likely pseudo-MFRs;there is neither a tubular topology nor an axial magnetic field, the B<sub>y</sub> deflections are produced by FACs. According to the presented model, a fundamental concept is that both ions and electrons are simultaneously accelerated at the source site;in turn, the earthward streaming electrons (ions) form a bifurcated electron (ion) FAC just outside the electron diffusion region-EDR (IDR). In this way, inside the IDR (and earthward of the source) positive (negative) B<sub>y</sub> deflections in north (south) plasma sheet (PS) are produced due to FACs, and not to (inward) Hall currents as in the context of an X-line. Moreover, the ions form an “ion jet” within the IDR, while just outside this region they produce positive (negative) B<sub>y</sub> deflections in north (south) PS caused by ion FACs. The ion jet in the IDR is enveloped by the bifurcated electron FAC. Eventually, although the resulting pattern of B<sub>y</sub> deflections, due to both electron and ion FACs, is apparently the same with that resulting from Hall currents (in the X-line model), the underlying natural processes are, however, radically different. Certainly, the dominant “spatial entity” within the IDR is the ion jet-current (and not the Hall-electron current). Additional implications of the ion jets are also discussed.展开更多

The divergence of these bulk currents brings about a spatial distribution of field-aligned currents, i.e. magnetospheric sources of ionospheric current. The projection (mapping) of the plasma pressure relief onto the ionosphere corresponds to the form and position of the auroral oval. This projection, like the real oval, executes a motion with a change of the convection electric field, and expands with an enhancement of the field. Knowing the distribution (3D) of the plasma pressure we can determine the places of MHD-compressor and MHD-generators location in the magnetosphere. Unfortunately, direct observations of plasma distribution in the magnetosphere are faced with large difficulties, because pressure must be known everywhere in the plasma sheet at high resolution, which in situ satellites have been unable to provide. Modeling of distribution of plasma pressure (on ~ 3-12 Re) is very important, because the data from multisatellite magnetospheric missions for these purposes would be a very expensive project.展开更多

The study revealed a dependence of sun-related energies to the Sun and Earth currents systems with solar activity from 1996 to 2019. A decrease in the correlation between sun-related energies and sunspot number was observed over solar cycles 23 and 24 (0.88 for the solar cycle 23 and 0.66 for the solar cycle 24), with a drop in the speed of magnetic disturbances in the solar wind. These results could be attributed to the decrease in Sun’s magnetic field toroidal component magnitude induced by a weak in sunspots number and solar flares during the solar cycle 24. A weak in the Earth currents systems (auroral electrojet current, ring current, and magnetopause current) is also observed. During the decrease in the Earth currents, several peaks are observed, indicating a nonlinear dependence in the Earth currents variation (ring current, auroral electrojet current, and magnetopause current) from solar cycle 23 to solar cycle 24. This could be attributed to the Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) observed during the declining phase of solar cycle 23 and the deep minimum preceding solar cycle 24.展开更多

However, in magnets stacked by antiferromagnetic(AFM) exchange coupling, which have recently aroused significant interest for potential applications in spintronics, Bose–Einstein distribution populates magnon states across all energies from opposite eigenmodes, and hence the magnon spin current is largely compensated. Contrary to this common observation,here, we show that magnets with X-type AFM stacking, where opposite magnetic sublattices form orthogonal intersecting chains, support giant magnon spin currents with minimal compensation. Our model Hamiltonian calculations predict magnetic chain locking of magnon spin currents in these X-type magnets, significantly reducing their compensation ratio. In addition, the one-dimensional nature of the chain-like magnetic sublattices enhances magnon spin conductivities surpassing those of two-dimensional ferromagnets and canonical altermagnets. Notably, uncompensated X-type magnets, such as odd-layer antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets, can exhibit magnon spin currents polarized opposite to those expected by their net magnetization. These unprecedented properties of X-type magnets, combined with their inherent advantages resulting from AFM coupling, offer a promising new path for low-power high-performance spintronics.展开更多

文摘This work demonstrates experimentally the close relation between return currents from relativistic laser-driven target polarization and the quality of the relativistic laser–plasma interaction for laser-driven secondary sources,taking as an example ion acceleration by target normal sheath acceleration.The Pearson linear correlation of maximum return current amplitude and proton spectrum cutoff energy is found to be in the range from~0.70 to 0.94.kA-scale return currents rise in all interaction schemes where targets of any kind are charged by escaping laser-accelerated relativistic electrons.Their precise measurement is demonstrated using an inductive scheme that allows operation at high repetition rates.Thus,return currents can be used as a metrological online tool for the optimization of many laser-driven secondary sources and for diagnosing their stability.In particular,in two parametric studies of laser-driven ion acceleration,we carry out a noninvasive online measurement of return currents in a tape target system irradiated by the 1 PW VEGA-3 laser at Centro de Láseres Pulsados:first the size of the irradiated area is varied at best compression of the laser pulse;second,the pulse duration is varied by means of induced group delay dispersion at best focus.This work paves the way to the development of feedback systems that operate at the high repetition rates of PW-class lasers.
文摘In this study, we examined variability of sun-related energies, auroral electrojet current, ring current, and magnetopause current during solar cycles 23 and 24. The study revealed a dependence of sun-related energies to the Sun and Earth currents systems with solar activity from 1996 to 2019. A decrease in the correlation between sun-related energies and sunspot number was observed over solar cycles 23 and 24 (0.88 for the solar cycle 23 and 0.66 for the solar cycle 24), with a drop in the speed of magnetic disturbances in the solar wind. These results could be attributed to the decrease in Sun’s magnetic field toroidal component magnitude induced by a weak in sunspots number and solar flares during the solar cycle 24. A weak in the Earth currents systems (auroral electrojet current, ring current, and magnetopause current) is also observed. During the decrease in the Earth currents, several peaks are observed, indicating a nonlinear dependence in the Earth currents variation (ring current, auroral electrojet current, and magnetopause current) from solar cycle 23 to solar cycle 24. This could be attributed to the Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) observed during the declining phase of solar cycle 23 and the deep minimum preceding solar cycle 24.

文摘Magnon spin currents in insulating magnets are useful for low-power spintronics. However, in magnets stacked by antiferromagnetic(AFM) exchange coupling, which have recently aroused significant interest for potential applications in spintronics, Bose–Einstein distribution populates magnon states across all energies from opposite eigenmodes, and hence the magnon spin current is largely compensated. Contrary to this common observation,here, we show that magnets with X-type AFM stacking, where opposite magnetic sublattices form orthogonal intersecting chains, support giant magnon spin currents with minimal compensation. Our model Hamiltonian calculations predict magnetic chain locking of magnon spin currents in these X-type magnets, significantly reducing their compensation ratio. In addition, the one-dimensional nature of the chain-like magnetic sublattices enhances magnon spin conductivities surpassing those of two-dimensional ferromagnets and canonical altermagnets. Notably, uncompensated X-type magnets, such as odd-layer antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets, can exhibit magnon spin currents polarized opposite to those expected by their net magnetization. These unprecedented properties of X-type magnets, combined with their inherent advantages resulting from AFM coupling, offer a promising new path for low-power high-performance spintronics.
文摘Since the beginning of the 20th century,alkaline electrolysis has been used as a proven method for producing hydrogen on a megawatt scale.The existence of parasitic shunt currents in alkaline water electrolysis,which is utilized to produce clean hydrogen,is investigated in this work.Analysis has been done on a 20-cell stack.Steel end plates,bipolar plates,and an electrolyte concentration of 6 M potassium hydroxide are all included in the model.The Butler-Volmer kinetics equations are used to simulate the electrode surfaces.Ohmic losses are taken into consideration in both the electrode and electrolyte phases,although mass transport constraints in the gas phase are not.Using an auxiliary sweep to solve equations,the model maintains an isothermal condition at 85℃ while adjusting the average cell voltage between 1.3 and 1.8 V.The results show that lower shunt currents in the outlet channels as opposed to the intake channels are the result of the electrolyte’s lower effective conductivity in the upper channels,which is brought on by a lower volume fraction of the electrolyte.Additionally,it has been seen that the shunt currents intensify as the stack gets closer to the conclusion.Efficiency is calculated by dividing the maximum energy output(per unit of time)that a fuel cell operating under comparable conditions might produce by the electrical energy needed to generate that output inside the stack.At first,energy efficiency increases due to the rise in coulombic efficiency,peaking around 1400 mA.The subsequent decline after reaching 1400 mA is linked to an increase in stack voltage at elevated current levels.

文摘Single shot all-optical switching of the magnetization by femtosecond laser pulses in rare-earth transition-metal ferrimagnetic materials is particularly promising for future ultrafast magnetic storage applications.Moreover,ultrafast lasergenerated spin currents appear to play an important role in the switching process.Here,we try to separately detect the spin current from Gd in a Co/Gd bilayer system using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.To this aim,we use different capping,buffer and embedded layers in order to tune the spin-to-charge and spin-current propagation and identify currents from each of the layers.We attribute the observed THz emission in all layers to the transition metal demagnetization induced spin currents,and detect no contribution from the Gd demagnetization.We attribute this absence of Gd-induced THz signal to the potentially slow demagnetization of Gd,which shift the emission spectra to lower frequencies,below our detection capabilities.These results highlight the limitations in using materials suffering from the so-called critical slowdown for the optimization of spintronic THz emitters.

文摘Low-density short-duration pulsed current-assisted aging treatment was applied to the Ti-6Al-4V-0.5Mo-0.5Zr alloy subjected to different solution treatments.The results show that numerous α_(p) phases redissolve into the new β phase during the pulsed current-assisted aging process,and then the newly formed β phase is mainly transformed into the β_(t) phase,with occasional transition to new α_(p) phase,leading to a remarkable grain refinement,especially for the lamellarαs phases.In comparison to conventional aging treatment,the pulsed current-assisted aging approach achieves a significant enhancement in strength without degrading ductility,yielding an excellent mechanical property combination:a yield strength of 932 MPa,a tensile strength of 1042 MPa,and an elongation of 12.2%.It is primarily ascribed to the increased fraction of β_(t) phases,the obvious grain refinement effect,and the slip block effect induced by the multiple-variantαs colonies distributed within β_(t) phases.

文摘This article investigates the robust current tracking control problem of three-phase grid-connected inverters with LCL filter under external disturbance by a dynamic state feedback control method.First,this paper constructs an internal model to learn the information of the states and input of the grid-connected inverter under steady state.Second,by utilizing the internal model principle,the paper turns the tracking control problem into the robust stabilization control problem based on some appropriate coordinate transformations.Then,The paper designs a dynamics state feedback control law to deal with this robust stabilization problem,and thus the solution of the robust current tracking control problem of three-phase grid-connected inverters can be obtained.This control method can ensure the asymptotic stability of the closedloop system.Finally,the paper illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed control approach through several groups of simulations,and compares it with the feedforward control method to verify the robustness of the proposed control method to uncertain parameters.

文摘Energy density and safety are two crucial parameters when evaluating lithium-metal batteries(LMBs).Herein,we present an ultralight polymer-based current collector,incorporating flame-retardant materials,designed specifically for thin lithium-metal anodes.Compared to the traditional copper current collector(8.96 mg cm^(-2),10μm thick),the polymer-based current collector(12μm thick)has a significantly lower areal density of 1.41 mg cm^(-2),i.e.,only one-sixth of the copper collector,thus enabling substantially higher energy densities.Accordingly,when employed in Li||NMC_(622)full-cells,the polymer-based current collector enables a specific energy of 449 Wh kg^(-1),representing a notable improvement of about14.5%compared to cells employing a classic copper current collector.The inclusion of Al(OH)_(3) as a flame retardant into the current collector suppresses flammability and,thereby,significantly improves the safety of the resulting LMBs.
文摘With the advent of the big data era,modern statistics has enjoyed unprecedented development opportunities and also faced numerous new challenges.Traditional statistical computing methods are often limited by issues such as computer memory capacity and distributed storage of data across different locations,and are unable to directly apply to large-scale data sets.Therefore,in the context of big data,designing efficient and theoretically guaranteed statistical learning and inference algorithms has become a key issue that the current field of statistics urgently needs to address.In this paper,the application status of statistical analysis methods in the big data environment was systematically reviewed,and its future development directions were analyzed to provide reference and support for the further development of theory and methods of the statistical analysis of big data.

文摘The transient synchronization stability of grid-forming converters(GFMCs)is significantly challenged under grid voltage sags.Continuous efforts have been devoted to analyzing the GFMC transient stability,with limited attention paid to the impacts of control loop dynamics.However,the complex control dynamics,especially the interactions between the active/reactive power control loops and the current saturation process(CSP),are crucial for accurately describing the transient behavior and evaluating the stability.Thus,in this study,a new large-signal GFMC model is established,considering the reactive power control(RPC)with different kinds of controllers and the CSP simultaneously.It is revealed that GFMC does not switch to the current-limited mode immediately,and the dynamics of RPC further affect the transient behavior before the current limiting significantly.Hence,the complex control dynamics can alter the mode switching point of current saturation,thereby increasing the risk of loss of synchronization(LOS).Based on the above findings,comprehensive comparisons of typical RPC controllers are presented to facilitate practical engineering applications.A unified stability enhancement method is proposed for solving the problem of LOS.Finally,experiments validate the correctness of the analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

文摘Lithium metal batteries(LMBs)are promising candidates for next-generation high-energy-density storage devices.However,an unstable lithium metal anode poses significant issues that critically compromise battery safety and cycle life,including lithium dendrite formation,solid electrolyte interphase degradation,dead lithium accumulation,and substantial volume fluctuations during cycling.These problems can be addressed by regulating lithium deposition and suppressing side reactions through the modification of copper current collectors using three classes of materials:metal and metal oxide,carbon,and polymer materials.This review comprehensively examines recent advances in the application of these materials as current collector coatings.Particularly,their distinct roles in the lithium deposition process are analyzed to understand how they mitigate the issues associated with the lithium metal anode.Furthermore,their inherent limitations are considered to inform future research directions.While each class of materials offers specific advantages,multifunctionality is required to effectively regulate lithium deposition.In prospect,a novel composite copper current collector design that integrates the merits of the aforementioned advanced materials is proposed.The insights from this review provide valuable guidance for the rational design of modified copper current collectors,which would significantly improve the safety and cycle life of LMBs and advance their commercialization.

文摘When the converter bus voltage of a voltage source converter-based high voltage direct current(VSC-HVDC)system drops below a certain predetermined threshold,the system enters low-voltage ride-through(LVRT)mode to avoid overcurrent and potential equipment failure,during which it operates as a controlled current source.The influence mechanism of LVRT control strategies on short-circuit current and overall system stability remains not yet fully and systematically investigated.First,this paper provides an overview of several LVRT strategies for VSC-HVDC systems and examines their effects on short-circuit current contribution.Next,it analyzes in detail the mechanisms through which active and reactive currents injected during LVRT impact system frequency stability,voltage stability,and synchronization stability.To address these interrelated issues,an optimized and comprehensive LVRT strategy incorporating short-circuit current constraints is proposed.The approach determines the active current ratio based on system frequency stability requirements and dynamically adjusts the active current recovery rate via phase control of the VSC-HVDC bus.The remaining capacity is allocated to reactive current support,thereby enhancing voltage and synchronization stability while maintaining sufficient short-circuit current margin and system frequency stability.Finally,simulations conducted on the PSS/E platform,using actual grid data from a selected cross-section system,validate convincingly the effectiveness of the proposed parameter optimization strategy for VSC-HVDC low-voltage ride-through.
文摘Transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)is a non-invasive technique that modifies cortical excitability and induces neuroplasticity using low-intensity electrical currents.Nuclear medicine technologies like positron emission tomography(PET)and single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)can quantify cerebral metabolism and other dynamics.Evidence suggests that combining tDCS with these imaging methods enhances understanding and outcomes for neurological and psychiatric conditions.This review highlights how nuclear medicine can objectively characterize tDCS eff ects,map network modulation,and identify predictive biomarkers.PET and SPECT indicate changes in glucose metabolism and neurotransmitter activity post-tDCS,demonstrating their value in validation.While the co-application of these methodologies is still in conceptual stages,their integration may advance precision neuromodulation and inform rehabilitation strategies.

文摘To elucidate the accelerated degradation mechanisms of metallic interconnects in operational solid oxide fuel cells,the oxidation behavior of FSS430 ferritic stainless steel under the coupling of simultaneous electrical current and high-temperature exposure is investigated.Isothermal thermogravimetric analysis was employed to quantify oxidation kinetics,complemented by microstructural characterization using X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.Experimental results demonstrate that the applied current dramatically enhances oxidation rates,increasing specific mass gain from 0.25 mg/cm^(2)(0 A/cm^(2))to 5.20 mg/cm^(2)(0.2 A/cm^(2))and oxide scale thickness from 1.87 to 15.62μm after 200 h.This acceleration originates from current-induced electromigration forces that promote cationic transport through the oxide layer.The quantitative relationships between current density and oxidation parameters are established,enabling predictive modeling of interconnector degradation in solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)systems.
