However,recent experiments have observed nonmonotonic Ramsey fringes characterized by beating patterns, which deviate from the standard behavior. These beating patterns have primarily been attributed to charge-noise fluctuations.In this paper, we have experimentally observed Ramsey fringe with beating pattern for transmon qubits, and traced the origin to electric instruments induced flux noise.展开更多

The correlation function of these fluctuations yields the amplitude, phase, and spontaneous emission noise fluxes, respectively. The amplitude and spontaneous emission noise fluxes exhibit the Lorentzian profiles in both the below-threshold state and the injection-locking region of the above-threshold state. While noise is typically viewed negatively in science and engineering, this research highlights its positive role as a valuable tool for measuring the optical properties of a laser amplifier. For instance, the degree of first-order temporal coherence(DFOTC) is derived by taking the Fourier transform of the amplitude noise flux. The damping rate of DFOTC is associated with the coherence time of the light emitted by the laser amplifier. Furthermore, the uncertainty relation between noise bandwidth and coherence time is confirmed. Finally, it is demonstrated that the input pumping noise flux, together with the output amplitude and spontaneous emission noise fluxes, satisfy the principle of flux conservation.展开更多

文摘During the continuous casting process of high-Mn high-Al steels,various types of gases such as Ar need to escape through the top of the mold.In which,the behavior of bubbles traversing the liquid slag serves as a restrictive link,closely associated with viscosity and the thickness of liquid slag.In contrast to two-dimensional surface observation,three-dimensional(3D)analysis method can offer a more intuitive,accurate,and comprehensive information.Therefore,this study employs a 3D X-ray microscope(3D-XRM)to obtained spatial distribution and 3D morphological characteristics of residual bubbles in mold flux under different basicity of liquid slag,different temperatures,and different holding times.The results indicate that as basicity of slag increases from 0.52 to 1.03,temperature increases from 1423 to 1573 K,the viscosity of slag decreases,the floating rate of bubbles increases.In addition,when holding time increases from 10 to 30 s,the bubbles floating distance increases,and the volume fraction and average equivalent sphere diameter of the bubbles solidified in the mold flux gradually decreases.In one word,increasing the basicity,temperature,and holding time leading to an increase in the removal rate of bubbles especially for the large.These findings of bubbles escape behavior provide valuable insights into optimizing low basicity mold flux for high-Mn high-Al steels.

文摘This study investigates the inward flux events following sawtooth crashes in the edge of HL-2A neutral beam heated plasmas.We identified three distinct types of inward fluxes with varying magnitudes and durations,each associated with unique plasma parameter fluctuations.Magnetic fluctuations,particularly the disruption of magnetic surface structures caused by sawtooth crashes,may play a significant role in modulating plasma dynamics.Moreover,the crossphase term and coherence between density and velocity fluctuations were found to be key factors in these flux events,with high coherence correlating with peak inward flux.These findings enhance the understanding of fluctuation-induced transport after sawtooth crashes and have implications for plasma confinement in fusion devices.

文摘Peng et al.in[Phys.Rev.Research,2020,2(3):033089,11 pp.]formulated one-way fluxes for a general chemical reaction far from equilibrium,with arbitrary complex mechanisms,multiple intermediates,and internal kinetic cycles.They defined the limit of the ratio of mesoscopic one-way fluxes and the volume of the tank reactor when the volume tends to infinity as macroscopic one-way fluxes,but a rigorous proof of existence of the limit is still awaiting.In this article,we fill this gap under a mild hypothesis:the Markov chain associated with the chemical master equation has finite states and any two columns in the stoichiometric matrices are not identical.In fact,an explicit expression of the limit is obtained.

文摘Accurate quantification of carbon and water fluxes dynamics in arid and semi-arid ecosystems is a critical scientific challenge for regional carbon neutrality assessments and sustainable water resource management.In this study,we developed a multi-flux global sensitivity discriminant index(D_(sen))by integrating the Biome-BGCMuSo model with eddy covariance flux observations.This index was combined with a Bayesian optimization algorithm to conduct parameter optimization.The results demonstrated that:(1)Sensitivity analysis identified 13 highly sensitive parameters affecting carbon and water fluxes.Among these,the canopy light extinction coefficient(k)and the fraction of leaf N in Rubisco(FLNR)exhibited significantly higher sensitivity to carbon fluxes(GPP,NEE,Reco;D_(sen)>10%)compared to water flux(ET).This highlights the strong dependence of carbon cycle simulations on vegetation physiological parameters.(2)The Bayesian optimization framework efficiently converged 30 parameter spaces within 50 iterations,markedly improving carbon fluxes simulation accuracy.The Kling-Gupta efficiency(KGE)values for Gross Primary Production(GPP),Net Ecosystem Exchange(NEE),and Total Respiration(Reco)increased by 44.94%,69.23%and 123%,respectively.The optimization prioritized highly sensitive parameters,underscoring the necessity of parameter sensitivity stratification.(3)The optimized model effectively reproduced carbon sink characteristics in mountain meadows during the growing season(cumulative NEE=-375 g C/m^(2)).It revealed synergistic carbon-water fluxes interactions governed by coupled photosynthesis-stomatal pathways and identified substrate supply limitations on heterotrophic respiration.This study proposes a novel multi-flux sensitivity index and an efficient optimization framework,elucidating the coupling mechanisms between vegetation physiological regulation(k,FLNR)and environmental stressors(VPD,SWD)in carbonwater cycles.The methodology offers a practical approach for arid ecosystem model optimization and provides theoretical insights for grassland management through canopy structure regulation and water-use efficiency enhancement.

文摘The efficiency of energy conversion from mechanical to electrical in AC generators is not entirely optimal,as power losses are converted into heat.Accurate thermal modeling and temperature measurement of advanced electric machines with complex structures are mandatory to confirm their reliability and safe operation.In a unique axial transverse flux switching permanent magnet(ATFSPM)generator,due to its high power density,large stray loss from leakage flux,compact topology,and totally enclosed structure,thermal analysis is of paramount significance.In this paper,thermal modeling and analysis of ATFSPM are carried out in detail using a three-dimensional(3D)finite element analysis(FEA)to evaluate the thermal condition for a precise performance improvement.To begin,all loss sources are accurately derived using 3-D FEA and analytical methods,taking into account the temperature dependence of material properties,and then losses are coupled to the thermal model as heat sources.Afterward,aiming for realistic thermal modelling,the convection heat transfer in the different regions of internal and external areas as well as thin layers of interface gaps between components are all considered.In addition,the prototype of ATFSPM is supplied to validate the accuracy of 3-D FEA temperature prediction.Furthermore,a novel technique is carried out to effectively improve thermal performance,enhance the efficiency,and limit hot-spot temperatures.The steady-state and transient temperature results demonstrate the high accuracy of the thermal modeling,enhance the secure operation of the ATFSPM,and facilitate increased loading utilizing the proposed technique.(1)

文摘The consequences of climate change continue to threaten European forests,particularly for species located at the edges of their latitudinal and altitudinal ranges.While extensively studied in Central Europe,European beech forests require further investigation to understand how climate change will affect these ecosystems in Mediterranean areas.Proposed silvicultural options increasingly aim at sustainable management to reduce biotic and abiotic stresses and enhance these forest ecosystems'resistance and resilience mechanisms.Process-based models(PBMs)can help us to simulate such phenomena and capture early stress signals while considering the effect of different management approaches.In this study,we focus on estimating sensitivity of two state-of-the-art PBMs forest models by simulating carbon and water fluxes at the stand level to assess productivity changes and feedback resulting from different climatic forcings as well as different management regimes.We applied the 3D-CMCC-FEM and MEDFATE forest models for carbon(C)and water(H_(2)O)fluxes in two sites of the Italian peninsula,Cansiglio in the north and Mongiana in the south,under managed vs.unmanaged scenarios and under current climate and different climatic scenarios(RCP4.5 and RCP8.5).To ensure confidence in the models’results,we preliminary evaluated their performance in simulating C and H_(2)O flux in three additional beech forests of the FLUXNET network along a latitudinal gradient spanning from Denmark to central Italy.The 3D-CMCC-FEM model achieved R^(2)values of 0.83 and 0.86 with RMSEs of 2.53 and 2.05 for C and H_(2)O fluxes,respectively.MEDFATE showed R^(2)values of 0.76 and 0.69 with RMSEs of 2.54 and 3.01.At the Cansiglio site in northern Italy,both models simulated a general increase in C and H_(2)O fluxes under the RCP8.5 climate scenario compared to the current climate.Still,no benefit in managed plots compared to unmanaged ones,as the site does not have water availability limitations,and thus,competition for water is low.At the Mongiana site in southern Italy,both models predict a decrease in C and H_(2)O fluxes and sensitivity to the different climatic forcing compared to the current climate;and an increase in C and H_(2)O fluxes when considering specific management regimes compared to unmanaged scenarios.Conversely,under unmanaged scenarios plots are simulated to experience first signals of mortality prematurely due to water stress(MEDFATE)and carbon starvation(3D-CMCC-FEM)scenarios.In conclusion,while management interventions may be considered a viable solution for the conservation of beech forests under future climate conditions at moister sites like Cansiglio,in drier sites like Mongiana conservation may not lie in management interventions alone.

文摘Understanding the characteristics and variations of heat exchange and evaporation of lakes is important for regional water resource management and sustainable development.Based on eddy covariance measurements over Lake Vanajavesi in southern Finland,characteristics of energy fluxes and cold frontal effects on energy exchange were investigated.The lake acted as a heat sink in spring and summer and a heat source in winter.The latent heat flux reached its minimum value in the morning and peaked in the afternoon.The diurnal variation of sensible heat flux was opposite to that of latent heat flux.Impact factors for the sensible heat flux were mainly the lake-air temperature difference and the product of lake-air temperature difference and wind speed.The latent heat flux was mainly affected by the vapor pressure deficit and the product of vapor pressure deficit and wind speed.The annual mean values of bulk transfer coefficients for momentum,heat,and water vapor were 1.98×10^(-3),1.62×10^(-3),and 1.31×10^(-3),respectively.Bulk transfer coefficients for heat and water vapor were not equal,indicating that the parameterization of energy exchange in numerical models,where the assumption that the heat coefficient equals the water vapor coefficient needs improvement.During the ice-free season,cold fronts resulted in 28 sensible heat pulses and 17 latent heat pulses,contributing to 50.59%and 34.89%of sensible and latent heat exchange in Lake Vanajavesi.These results indicate that cold fronts significantly impact the surface energy budget and evaporation over lakes.
文摘Ramsey oscillations typically exhibit an exponential decay envelope due to environmental noise. However,recent experiments have observed nonmonotonic Ramsey fringes characterized by beating patterns, which deviate from the standard behavior. These beating patterns have primarily been attributed to charge-noise fluctuations.In this paper, we have experimentally observed Ramsey fringe with beating pattern for transmon qubits, and traced the origin to electric instruments induced flux noise.
文摘The noise feature of a single-mode class-A laser amplifier is investigated by solving the Maxwell–Bloch equations of motion in the presence of the fluctuation force of cavity Langevin.The aim is to calculate the simultaneous fluctuations that are superimposed on the amplitude and phase of the cavity electric field, as well as the atomic population inversion. The correlation function of these fluctuations yields the amplitude, phase, and spontaneous emission noise fluxes, respectively. The amplitude and spontaneous emission noise fluxes exhibit the Lorentzian profiles in both the below-threshold state and the injection-locking region of the above-threshold state. While noise is typically viewed negatively in science and engineering, this research highlights its positive role as a valuable tool for measuring the optical properties of a laser amplifier. For instance, the degree of first-order temporal coherence(DFOTC) is derived by taking the Fourier transform of the amplitude noise flux. The damping rate of DFOTC is associated with the coherence time of the light emitted by the laser amplifier. Furthermore, the uncertainty relation between noise bandwidth and coherence time is confirmed. Finally, it is demonstrated that the input pumping noise flux, together with the output amplitude and spontaneous emission noise fluxes, satisfy the principle of flux conservation.

文摘Researches on plasma-facing materials/components(PFMs/PFCs)have become a focus in magnetic confinement fusion studies,particularly for advanced tokamak operation scenarios.Similarly,spacecraft surface materials must maintain stable performance under relatively high temperatures and other harsh plasma conditions,making studies of their thermal and ablation resistance critical.Recently,a low-cost,low-energy-storage for superconducting magnets,and compact linear device,HIT-PSI,has been designed and constructed at Harbin Institute of Technology(HIT)to investigate the interaction between stable high heat flux plasma and PFMs/PFCs in scrape-off-layer(SOL)and divertor regions,as well as spacecraft surface materials.The parameters of the argon plasma beam of HIT-PSI are diagnosed using a water-cooled planar Langmuir probe and emission spectroscopy.As magnetic field rises to 2 T,the argon plasma beam generated by a cascaded arc source achieves high density exceeding 1.2×10^(21)m^(-3)at a distance of 25 cm from the source with electron temperature surpassing 4 eV,where the particle flux reaches 10^(24)m^(-2)s^(-1),and the heat flux loaded on the graphite target measured by infrared camera reaches 4 MW/m^(2).Combined with probe and emission spectroscopy data,the transport characteristics of the argon plasma beam are analyzed.

文摘The indiscriminate discharge of industrial wastewater and oil leakage accidents cause serious water pollution and pose threats to aquatic ecosystems and sanitary environments.The oily wastewater system is complex and most membrane materials cannot separate various oil-water mixtures.S erious membrane pollution would cause a decrease in separation flux.We proposed a pre-identified organic hydrogel surface prepared by micro-nano manufacturing technology for selective oil/water separation with ultra-high separating flux.Stimulated by water,the prepared surface is superhydrophilic-underwater superoleophobic,allowing water to pass through,and stimulated by oil,the prepared surface is superoleophilic-underoil superhydrophobic,allowing oil to pass through.Thus,based on the special solvent-responsive property,the prepared surface has a pre-identified function for water and oil,and could achieve the capture of oil droplets in water and water droplets in oil.In addition,the surface maintains an ultra-high separating efficiency and flux of about 99.85%and 17750 L·m^(-2)·h^(-1),and even after continuous cycles without cleaning,it could keep 99.1%and 16000 L·m^(-2)·h^(-1)due to the excellent anti-fouling ability.This study provides new ideas and methods for designing intelligent oil-water separation devices,and further guidance for achieving on-demand oily wastewater treatment.

文摘Extraterrestrial phenomena have influenced Earth’s processes throughout geological history.Evaluating the impact of extraterrestrial material on the environment is crucial for understanding the evolution of Earth and life.This study incorporates the investigation of micrometeorites(MMs),abundant cosmic materials on Earth,to understand their influence on the chemical composition and biogeochemistry of the ocean.Comprehensive etching and flux analyses reveal that∼95%of cosmic spherules(CSs)entering seawater are etched or wholly dissolved,supplying nutrients to phytoplankton.Barred spherules show the highest degree of etching(∼19%),followed by porphyritic(∼17%),glass(∼15%),cryptocrystalline(∼12%),scoriaceous(∼10%),G-type(∼9%),and I-type(∼6%).Annually,∼3080 tonnes(t)of olivine from MMs dissolve into seawater,contributing∼495 t of Mg^(2+),∼1110 t of Fe^(2+),and∼1928 t of silicic acid.This signifies that over the Indian Ocean’s∼40 Myr history,∼23 Gt of olivine from CSs has dissolved,providing nutrients to seawater and sequestering∼7 Gt of CO_(2).The world ocean during this time has sequestered∼35 Gt of CO_(2),with fluctuations influenced by extraterrestrial activity.For instance,the Veritas event,lasting∼1.5 Myr,sequestered∼6 Gt of CO_(2)from the atmosphere.A robust flux calculation based on∼2 t of deep-sea sediments from 3610 MMs provides a more accurate estimate of the time-averaged flux of∼229 t yr^(−1).These comprehensive analyses reveal MM’s original characteristics,post-deposition processes,geological record and their overall impact on Earth’s marine environments,thereby contributing to our knowledge of the interconnection between terrestrial and extraterrestrial processes.

文摘The influence of refining flux composition,refining time,refining temperature,and addition amount on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-9Li-3Al-1Zn alloy was investigated with orthogonal experimental design.The flux purification process for Mg-Li alloys was optimized and the most effective ternary flux composition was identified.Results indicate that flux purification significantly mitigates Li loss during smelting by forming a protective surface layer that reduces Li oxidation and evaporation.The optimal flux composition is LiCl:LiF:CaF_(2)in a 3:1:2 mass ratio,with a flux addition of 3%,refining temperature of 720°C,and holding time of 10 min.The elongation of alloy improves to 16.2% after refinement,while the enhancement in strength remains marginal.

文摘The North China Plain(NCP)frequently experiences ozone pollution events,which are generally related to cross-border transport at multiple scales.However,current methods of calculating ozone transport are insufficient to account for ozone transport at different altitudes.To further understand the characteristics of ozone transport,we applied theWeather Research and Forecasting(WRF)model and the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions(CAMx)based on flux calculation method.The results showed that the simulated flux calculation method was suitable for revealing the evolutionary trend of ozone fluxes.Monthly inflows,outflows,and total net fluxes ranged from-32985.45 to 37361.46 t/d and indicated strong transport and significant spatial and temporal variations of ozone in the urban boundary segments.Vertical distribution analysis of the net ozone fluxes demonstrated that the net fluxes varied with the altitude,and the altitude at which the corresponding peaks were located had a strong correlation with the neighborhood and season.It was noteworthy that there were three main transport directions throughout the year,namely northwest-southeast(NW-SE),southeast-northwest(SE-NW),and southwestnortheast(SW-NE).Additionally,the ozone flux was mainly affected by temperature,wind speed,and ozone concentration,with the correlation coefficient varying by season and altitude,up to 0.78.Moreover,the correlation analysis of ozone flux and wind direction in each city further verified the accuracy of the transport direction.This paper can provide scientific and technological support for the study of ozone generation mechanisms and the solution of urban/interregional ozone pollution problems.
