Firstly, we take two trivial quantum wires with a lattice constant ratio of 1:2 as an example. For the symmetric nearest-neighbor intra-chain hopping two-leg ladder, the inversion symmetry protected topological insulator phase with two degenerate topological edge states appears. When the inversion symmetry is broken, the topological insulators with one or two topological edge states of different energies and topological metals with edge states embedded in the bulk states could emerge depending on the filling factor. The topological origin of these topological states in the two-leg ladders is the topological properties of the Chern insulators and Chern metals. According to the arrangement of two trivial quantum wires, we construct two types of three-leg ladders. Each type of the three-leg ladder could be divided into one trivial subspace and one topological nontrivial subspace by unitary transformation. The topological nontrivial subspace corresponds to the effective two-leg ladder model. As the filling factor changes, the system could be in topological insulators or topological metals phases. When the two-leg ladder is constructed by two trivial quantum wires with a lattice constant ratio of 1:3 and 2:3, the system could also realize rich topological states such as the topological insulators and topological metals with the topological edge states. These rich topological states in the two-leg and three-leg ladders could be confirmed by current experimental techniques.展开更多

The results show that the separate additions of 0.16% Sc and 0.16% Zr to pure Al improve the ultimate tensile strength but reduce the electrical conductivity, and the similar trend is found in the Al-0.12Sc-0.04 Zr alloy. After the subsequent heat treatment, the wire with the optimum comprehensive properties is Al-0.12Sc-0.04 Zr alloy, of which the ultimate tensile strength and electrical conductivity reach 160 MPa and 64.03%（IACS）, respectively.展开更多

The wires were investigated using X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, Ultra-violet visible （UV-vis）, photoluminescence （PL） and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD measurement shows that the prepared SrTiO3 submicro-wircs hardly have impurity phases. The SEM and TEM images demonstrate that the scalable wires, which need to be processed at the reaction temperature of 180℃ for about 48 hours, are not composed of single crystals. The PL shows that the wire-like SrTiO3 has emission peaks at the wavelengths of 568 and 585 nm. Further, the Raman spectroscopy reveals structural changes in the products through different reaction time.展开更多

X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scalar network analyzer (SNA) were used for characterizing microstructure and evaluating microwave absorption properties. Experimental results show the significant frequency (6-18 GHz) dependence of the complex relative permeability and permittivity. The reflection loss (RL) with different thickness and short-wire packing ratio reveals that the composite sample containing 7% exhibits better microwave absorption behavior with its minimum value of RL reaching-34 dB in thickness of 3 mm at 14 GHz. Therefore, it is significantly useful to develop microwire-dielectric materials with much wider absorption band for microwave absorption applications.展开更多

Effects of NaOH content in the composite electrolyte on the microstructure and properties of the MAO ceramic coatings on magnesium alloy wires were studied. It is found that the arc voltage of magnesium alloy wires in the micro-arc oxidation process is significantly reduced while the oxidation rate is accelerated. Addition of 2 g/L NaOH in the composite electrolyte is a better choice for improving corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy wires. During early simulated body fluids （SBF） immersion, the micro-arc oxidized magnesium alloy wires undergo a slow and stable degradation. After soaking for 28 d, the protective ceramic coating still shows no damage but significant degradation is observed for magnesium alloy wires after immersion for more than 60 d.展开更多

After the Au sputtering pre-treatment, the deposition of Cu on the CNT wires was found to be much more homogeneous due to improved wettability and reactivity of the wire surface. At different electrodeposition time, the mechanical strength of the CNT/Au/Cu composite wires could be as high as 0.74 GPa(~2 times stronger than metal wires) while their electrical conductivity could reach 4.65 × 10~5 S/cm(~80% of that for copper). More importantly, the CNT/Au/Cu composite wires with high CNT volume fraction are expected to be lightweight(up to 42% lower than Cu mass density), suggesting that our high-performance composite wires are a promising candidate to substitute conventional heavy metal wires in the future applications.展开更多

Compared with the conventional single wire spring, the stranded wires helical spring has the notable predominance in strength, damping and vibration reduction, which is usually used in aircraft engines, automatic weapons, etc. However, due to its complicated structure, the precise computation of its strength and rigidity need be a correct mathematical model, which then will be imported to finite element analysis software for solutions. Equations on solving geometric parameters, such as external diameters of strands and screw pitches of wires, are put forward in the paper. It also proposes a novel methodology on solving geometric parameters and establishing entity models of the stranded wires helical spring, which provides foundation of computing mechanical parameters by FEA. Then mathematical models on the centre line of the strand and the surface curve of each wire, after closing two ends in a spring, are proposed. Finally, geometric parameters are solved in a case study, and a 3D entity model of a spring with 3 layers and 16 wires is established, which has validated the accuracy of the proposed methodology and the 3D entity mathematical model. The method provides a new way to design stranded wire helical spring.展开更多

文摘The texture evolution of cold drawing copper wires produced by continuous casting was measured by X-ray diffractometry and electron back-scatter diffractometry,and was simulated using Taylor model.The results show that in the drawn poly-crystal copper wires produced by traditional continuous casting,111 and 100 duplex fiber texture forms,and with increasing strain,the intensities of 111 and 100 increase.In the drawn single-crystal copper wires produced by Ohno continuous casting,100 rotates to 111,and there is inhomogeneous distribution of fiber texture along radial direction of the wires,which is caused by the distribution of shear deformation.Compared with 100,111 fiber texture is more stable in the drawn copper wires.Comparison of the experimental results with the simulated results shows that the simulation by Taylor model can analyze the texture evolution of drawn copper wires.

文摘Micron-scale molybdenum(Mo)wires are vital in numerous technological applications,including micro-electromechanical systems and nanodevices.Understanding their mechanical behavior under cyclic torsion loading is critical in designing reliable and durable components.This work investigates the mechanical behavior and fracture characteristics of micron Mo wires under various torsional loading conditions,including monotonic,symmetric,and asymmetric cyclic torsion.The results reveal that the fractures observed in Mo wires exhibit a relatively planar characteristic with noticeable clockwise river-patterned cleavage steps under monotonic torsion,mirroring the direction of the torsional stress applied during the experiment.In terms of symmetric cyclic torsion,it is notable that cyclic softening becomes increasingly pronounced as the increase of strain amplitude.The fractures exhibit distinctive stratification,characterized by the longitudinal cracks propagating radially.When the unloading strain is less than the loaded strain,the extent of the strain hysteresis effect amplifies with an increase in unloading strain.And the observed fracture characteristics are consistent with those under monotonic torsion.Differently,when the loading strain equals the unloading strain,a distinctive fracture pattern emerges in the Mo wire,characterized by a"peak"shape.This research provides valuable insights for optimizing the mechanical reliability of micron wires in microscale and nanoscale applications.

文摘This study reports results for the morphology,crystal structure and critical parameters of Sm_(2)O_(3)-doped MgB_(2)wires with low and high initial filling densities.The transmission electron microscope(TEM)images were done for the longitudinal section of MgB_(2)wires.The results show that the Sm_(2)O_(3)admixture significantly changes the morphology of the MgB_(2)material,accelerates the formation of the MgB_(2)phase,does not form rectangular MgB_(2)crystallites,does not leave pure Mg,and forms Sm_(2)O_(3)areas of 10 nm and 20 nm.The effects of Sm_(2)O_(3)addition on MgB_(2)formation in superconducting wires were revealed in detail in this study.Additionally,Sm_(2)O_(3)causes the formation of point pinning regions that significantly increase the critical transport current density at the temperature range from 15 K to 30 K.The TEM images point out that rectangular MgB_(2)crystallites are formed in undoped Mg B_(2)wires,which have not been previously reported XRPD results showed that short-term heating allowed obtaining a larger amount of MgB_(2)phase for the MgB_(2)wire with high initial filling density.On the other hand,long heating time and high initial density slow down the creation of MgB_(2)phase when the Mg is in the solid state.

文摘SrTiO3 submicro-wires were prepared by the reaction of layered titanatc nanowircs with Sr（OH）2 powder in an autoclave. The wires were investigated using X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, transmission electron microscope （TEM）, Ultra-violet visible （UV-vis）, photoluminescence （PL） and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD measurement shows that the prepared SrTiO3 submicro-wircs hardly have impurity phases. The SEM and TEM images demonstrate that the scalable wires, which need to be processed at the reaction temperature of 180℃ for about 48 hours, are not composed of single crystals. The PL shows that the wire-like SrTiO3 has emission peaks at the wavelengths of 568 and 585 nm. Further, the Raman spectroscopy reveals structural changes in the products through different reaction time.
文摘The heterostructure of InAs/In0.52Al0.48As/InP is unique in that InAs wires instead of dots self-assemble in molecular beam epitaxy. These InAs wires have some distinctive features in their growth and structure. This paper summarizes the investigations of the growth and structural properties of InAs wires that have been performed in our laboratory recently.

文摘Coaxially dielectric samples consisting of different packing ratios of glass-covered Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 amorphous wires embedded in a paraffin wax matrix were fabricated, and the influence of short-wire packing ratio (3%-9% in mass fraction) and thickness (1-7 mm) on the microwave absorption properties was systematically investigated in microwave frequency range of 2-18 GHz. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scalar network analyzer (SNA) were used for characterizing microstructure and evaluating microwave absorption properties. Experimental results show the significant frequency (6-18 GHz) dependence of the complex relative permeability and permittivity. The reflection loss (RL) with different thickness and short-wire packing ratio reveals that the composite sample containing 7% exhibits better microwave absorption behavior with its minimum value of RL reaching-34 dB in thickness of 3 mm at 14 GHz. Therefore, it is significantly useful to develop microwire-dielectric materials with much wider absorption band for microwave absorption applications.

文摘Magnesium alloy wires were processed by micro-arc oxidation （MAO） in a modified silicate-phosphate composite electrolyte containing hydroxyapatite （HA） nanopowders and NaOH. Effects of NaOH content in the composite electrolyte on the microstructure and properties of the MAO ceramic coatings on magnesium alloy wires were studied. It is found that the arc voltage of magnesium alloy wires in the micro-arc oxidation process is significantly reduced while the oxidation rate is accelerated. Addition of 2 g/L NaOH in the composite electrolyte is a better choice for improving corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy wires. During early simulated body fluids （SBF） immersion, the micro-arc oxidized magnesium alloy wires undergo a slow and stable degradation. After soaking for 28 d, the protective ceramic coating still shows no damage but significant degradation is observed for magnesium alloy wires after immersion for more than 60 d.

文摘In this study, we present a 2-step deposition method via sputtering and electroplating that uses carbon nanotube(CNT) wires synthesized from a wet-spinning technique to produce high-performance CNT/Au/Cu composite wires. After the Au sputtering pre-treatment, the deposition of Cu on the CNT wires was found to be much more homogeneous due to improved wettability and reactivity of the wire surface. At different electrodeposition time, the mechanical strength of the CNT/Au/Cu composite wires could be as high as 0.74 GPa(~2 times stronger than metal wires) while their electrical conductivity could reach 4.65 × 10~5 S/cm(~80% of that for copper). More importantly, the CNT/Au/Cu composite wires with high CNT volume fraction are expected to be lightweight(up to 42% lower than Cu mass density), suggesting that our high-performance composite wires are a promising candidate to substitute conventional heavy metal wires in the future applications.
文摘The binding energy and the photon energy dependence of the photoionization cross-section are calculated for a hydrogenic impurity in GaAs/Ga 1-xAl xAs quantum well wires.The correlation between confined and non-confined direction of the wire in the variational wave function is taken into account.The results show that the photoionization cross-sections are affected by the width of the wire and that their magnitudes are larger than those in infinite potential quantum well wires.In comparison with previous's results,the variational wave function improves the binding energy and decreases the value of photoionization cross-sections of the hydrogenic impurities,which makes the results more reasonable.

文摘A stranded wires helical spring is formed of a multilayer and coaxial strand of several wires twisted together with the same direction of spiral. Compared with the conventional single wire spring, the stranded wires helical spring has the notable predominance in strength, damping and vibration reduction, which is usually used in aircraft engines, automatic weapons, etc. However, due to its complicated structure, the precise computation of its strength and rigidity need be a correct mathematical model, which then will be imported to finite element analysis software for solutions. Equations on solving geometric parameters, such as external diameters of strands and screw pitches of wires, are put forward in the paper. It also proposes a novel methodology on solving geometric parameters and establishing entity models of the stranded wires helical spring, which provides foundation of computing mechanical parameters by FEA. Then mathematical models on the centre line of the strand and the surface curve of each wire, after closing two ends in a spring, are proposed. Finally, geometric parameters are solved in a case study, and a 3D entity model of a spring with 3 layers and 16 wires is established, which has validated the accuracy of the proposed methodology and the 3D entity mathematical model. The method provides a new way to design stranded wire helical spring.
