Both the thermal electrons and the dissociation recombination contribute to generate the airglow emissions during HF heating. However, the relative importance of the airglow emission induced by dissociative recombination and thermal electrons has been rarely investigated. In this study, we carry out a simulation study on the airglow produced by high-power HF heating at nighttime associated with dissociative recombination and thermal electrons. SAMI2(Sami2 is Another Model of the Ionosphere) is employed to simulate the ionospheric variations during the HF heating. The main conclusions from this study are as follows:(1) For the airglow induced by dissociative recombination, both 630.0 nm and 557.7 nm emissions show a decrease at the heating wave reflection height during the heating period,while when the heating is turned off, an increase is shown at lower altitudes. The reduction of airglow during the heating is caused by the rapid increase of electron temperature and the diffusion of plasmas dominates the after-heating airglow enhancement.(2) 630.0 nm emission due to thermal electrons is greatly enhanced at the wave reflection height, indicating that thermal electrons play a major role in exciting 630.0 nm emission. For the 557.7 nm emission, the excitation threshold(4.17 e V) is too high for thermal electrons.(3) The combined effect of dissociative recombination and thermal electrons could be the possible reason for the observed X-mode(extraordinary mode) suppression of 630.0 nm airglow during O-mode(ordinary mode) enhancement.展开更多

文摘The types of dopants lead to distinctive microstructural evolution behavior and physical properties in materials.In this study,the effect of stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric Mn modification,namely Pb(Mn_(1/3) Nb_(2/3))O_(3)(PMnN)and MnO_(2),on the microstructure and properties of Pb(Yb_(1/2) Nb_(1/2))O_(3)-PbZrO_(3)-PbTiO_(3)(PYN-PZT)piezoelectric ceramics are systematically investigated.It was found that stoichiometric PMnN modification inhibits the grain growth while non-stoichiometric MnO_(2) modification promotes it,and thus the former yields stronger high-power characteristics(higher internal bias field Ei and larger mechanical quality factor Q_(m))than the latter.Specifically,with an equivalent amount of Mn modifica-tion(2 mol%),PMnN and MnO_(2) modification PYN-PZT ceramics exhibit significantly different values for average grain size(1.21μm vs.14.12μm),Ei(8.5 kV/cm vs.5 kV/cm),and Qm(2376 vs.1134).To further evaluate high-power performance,the vibration velocity v of these two modified PYN-PZT under high driving conditions was measured.Under an AC electric field of 3.5 V/mm,the PYN-PZT+6PMnN ceram-ics exhibit a v of up to 0.95 m s^(−1),larger than both MnO2-doped PYN-PZT(0.72 m s^(−1))and unmodified PYN-PZT ceramics(0.1 m s^(−1)),and far outperformance than both PZT-4 and PZT-8 ceramics.Furthermore,to elucidate the origin of the exceptional high-power performance of PMnN-modified PYN-PZT,we per-formed phase-field simulations revealing a pinning effect of the grain boundary on domain wall motion.Consequently,the small grain size(high grain boundary density)in PMnN-modified PYN-PZT exhibits a strong pinning effect,resulting in a large Q_(m) and outstanding high-power performance.

文摘One of the important effects of the ionospheric modification by high-power waves is the airglow enhancement. Both the thermal electrons and the dissociation recombination contribute to generate the airglow emissions during HF heating. However, the relative importance of the airglow emission induced by dissociative recombination and thermal electrons has been rarely investigated. In this study, we carry out a simulation study on the airglow produced by high-power HF heating at nighttime associated with dissociative recombination and thermal electrons. SAMI2(Sami2 is Another Model of the Ionosphere) is employed to simulate the ionospheric variations during the HF heating. The main conclusions from this study are as follows:(1) For the airglow induced by dissociative recombination, both 630.0 nm and 557.7 nm emissions show a decrease at the heating wave reflection height during the heating period,while when the heating is turned off, an increase is shown at lower altitudes. The reduction of airglow during the heating is caused by the rapid increase of electron temperature and the diffusion of plasmas dominates the after-heating airglow enhancement.(2) 630.0 nm emission due to thermal electrons is greatly enhanced at the wave reflection height, indicating that thermal electrons play a major role in exciting 630.0 nm emission. For the 557.7 nm emission, the excitation threshold(4.17 e V) is too high for thermal electrons.(3) The combined effect of dissociative recombination and thermal electrons could be the possible reason for the observed X-mode(extraordinary mode) suppression of 630.0 nm airglow during O-mode(ordinary mode) enhancement.

文摘Lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate(PMN-PT)piezoelectric single crystals are widely utilized due to their outstanding performance,with varying compositions significantly impacting their properties.While application of PMN-PT in high-power settings is rapidly evolving,material parameters are typically tested under low signal conditions(1 V),and effects of different PT(PbTiO_(3))contents on the performance of PMN-PT single crystals under high-power conditions remain unclear.This study developed a comprehensive high-power testing platform using the constant voltage method to evaluate performance of PMN-PT single crystals with different PT contents under high-power voltage stimulation.Using crystals sized at 10 mm×3 mm×0.5 mm as an example,this research explored changes in material parameters.The results exhibit that while trend of the parameter changes under high-power excitation was consistent across different PT contents,degree of the change varied significantly.For instance,a PMN-PT single crystal with 26%(in mol)PT content exhibited a 25%increase in the piezoelectric coefficient d_(31),a 13%increase in the elastic compliance coefficient s_(11)^(E),a 17%increase in the electromechanical coupling coefficient k_(31),and a 73%decrease in the mechanical quality factor Q_(m) when the power reached 7.90 W.As the PT content increased,the PMN-PT materials became more susceptible to temperature influences,significantly reducing the power tolerance and more readily reaching the depolarization temperatures.This led to loss of piezoelectric performance.Based on these findings,a clearer understanding of impact of PT content on performance of PMN-PT single crystals under high-power applications has been established,providing reliable data to support design of sensors or transducers using PMN-PT as the sensitive element.

文摘Cu nanoparticles exhibit excellent properties as high-temperature-resistant,conductive,heat-dissipating,and connecting materials.However,their susceptibility to oxidation poses a major challenge to the production of high-quality sintered bodies in the air,severely limiting their widespread adoption in power electronics packaging.This study presents a novel approach to the synthesis of Cu nanoparticles capped with oleylamine ligands.By employing a simple solvent-cleaning process,effective control of the density of oleylamine ligands on particle surfaces was achieved,resulting in high-performance Cu nanoparticles with both oxidation resistance and air-sintering susceptibility.Moreover,through our research,the solvent-cleaning mechanism was clarified,a model for the oleylamine ligand decomposition was developed,the air-sintering behavior of Cu nanoparticles was analyzed,and the impacts of both the sintered bodies and interfaces on the sintering performance were explained.Additionally,Cu nanoparticles subjected to 5 cleaning rounds followed by sintering at 280℃and 5 MPa in air were confirmed to be able to produce the highest shear strength(49.2±3.51 MPa)and lowest resistivity(6.15±0.32μΩ·cm).Based on these results,flexible capacitive pressure sensors with Cu sintered electrodes were fabricated and demonstrated a stable pressure-capacitance response over the temperature range of 25-250℃.These findings underscore the impressive robustness and durability of sintered structures and the potential for high-temperature applications of oleylamine-capped Cu nanoparticles.Our study provides reliable application demonstrations for the low-cost manufacture of high-performance power electronics packaging structures that can operate in high-current-density,high-heat-flow-density,high-temperature,and high-stress environments.

文摘Flexible pressure sensors show great promise for applications in such fields as electronic skin,healthcare,and intelligent robotics.Traditional capacitive pressure sensors,however,face the problem of low sensitivity,which limits their wider application.In this paper,a flexible capacitive pressure sensor with microstructured ionization layer is fabricated by a sandwich-type process,with a low-cost and simple process of inverted molding with sandpapers being used to form a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer ionic film with double-sided microstructure as the dielectric layer of the sensor,with silver nanowires as electrodes.The operating mechanism of this iontronic pressure sensor is analyzed using a graphical method,and the sensor is tested on a pressure platform.The test results show that the sensor has ultrahigh pressure sensitivities of 3.744 and 1.689 kPa^(−1) at low(0-20 kPa)and high(20-800 kPa)pressures,respectively,as well as a rapid response time(100 ms),and it exhibits good stability and repeatability.The sensor can be used for sensitive monitoring of activities such as finger bending,and for facial expression(smile,frown)recognition,as well as speech recognition.
