The autofrettage process is used widely to introduce residual stresses into thick walled tubes;traditionally residual stresses have been measured using the Sachs method destructive or non-destructive methods. In this paper we describe the application of the X-rays diffraction;this technique permits to justify the presence of the compressive tangential residual stresses, and to value their distribution after two different autofrettage internal pressures loading. The results show that there is a large difference in the residual stresses find in the different autofrettege pressure.

The examined Si-doped diamond films are deposited on WC-Co substrates in a home-made bias-enhanced HFCVD apparatus. Ethyl silicate (Si(OC2H5)4) is dissolved in acetone to obtain various Si/C mole ratio ranging from 0.1% to 1.4% in the reaction gas. Characterizations with SEM and XRD indicate increasing silicon concentration may result in grain size decreasing and diamond [110] texture becoming dominant. The residual stress values of as-deposited Si-doped diamond films are evaluated by both sin2ψ method, which measures the (220) diamond Bragg diffraction peaks using XRD, with ψ-values ranging from 0° to 45°, and Raman spectroscopy, which detects the diamond Raman peak shift from the natural diamond line at 1332 cm-1. The residual stress evolution on the silicon doping level estimated from the above two methods presents rather good agreements, exhibiting that all deposited Si-doped diamond films present compressive stress and the sample with Si/C mole ratio of 0.1% possesses the largest residual stress of ~1.75 GPa (Raman) or ~2.3 GPa (XRD). As the silicon doping level is up further, the residual stress reduces to a relative stable value around 1.3 GPa.展开更多

How...Seismic data processing typically deals with seismic wave reflections and neglects wave diffraction that affect the resolution. As a general rule, wave diffractions are treated as noise in seismic data processing. However, wave diffractions generally originate from geological structures, such as fractures, karst caves, and faults. The wave diffraction energy is much weaker than that of the reflections. Therefore, even if wave diffractions can be traced back to their origin, their energy is masked by that of the reflections. Separating and imaging diffractions and reflections can improve the imaging accuracy of diffractive targets. Based on the geometrical differences between reflections and diffractions on the plane-wave record; that is, reflections are quasi-linear and diffractions are quasi-hyperbolic, we use plane-wave prediction fltering to separate the wave diffractions. First, we estimate the local slope of the seismic event using plane- wave destruction filtering and, then, we predict and extract the wave reflections based on the local slope. Thus, we obtain the diffracted wavefield by directly subtracting the reflected wavefield from the entire wavefield. Finally, we image the diffracted wavefield and obtain high-resolution diffractive target results. 2D SEG salt model data suggest that the plane-wave prediction filtering eliminates the phase reversal in the plane-wave destruction filtering and maintains the original wavefield phase, improving the accuracy of imaging heterogeneous objects.展开更多

The Mn3＋, Zr4＋, Ti4＋and Pb4＋cations are incorporated into the lattice of tetragonal rutile SnO2 to form a solid solution structure. As a consequence, the surface area and thermal stability of the catalysts are improved. Moreover, the oxygen species of the modified catalysts become easier to be reduced. Therefore, the oxidation activity over the catalysts was improved, except for the one modified by Pb oxide. Manganese oxide demonstrates the best promotional effects for SnO2. Using an X‐ray diffraction extrapolation method, the lattice capacity of SnO2 for Mn2O3 was 0.135 g Mn2O3/g SnO2, which indicates that to form stable solid solution, only 21%Sn4＋cations in the lattice can be maximally replaced by Mn3＋. If the amount of Mn3＋cations is over the capacity, Mn2O3 will be formed, which is not favorable for the activity of the catalysts. The Sn rich samples with only Sn‐Mn solid solution phase show higher activity than the ones with excess Mn2O3 species.展开更多

These cracks could cause severe damages to the aircraft structures. Thus the position and size monitoring of fatigue cracks in the metal structures is very important to manufacturers as well as maintenance personnel for significantly improving the safety and reliability of aircraft. Much progress has been made for crack position monitoring in the past few years. However, the crack size monitoring is still very challenging. Fastest time of flight diffraction （FTOFD） method was developed to monitor both the position and size of a crack. FTOFD method uses an integrated sensor network to activate and receive ultrasonic waves in a structure. Diffraction waves will be generated when the ultrasonic waves pass a crack. These diffraction waves are received and analyzed to get the position and size of the crack. The experiment results show that the monitored size of the simulated crack is very close to the real size of the crack, and for frequencies of 350 and 400 kHz, the monitoring errors are both smaller than 5%.展开更多

No phase transition was observed in the experimental temperature range. Data for the unit-cell parameters and temperatures were fitted empirically resulting in the following thermal expansion coefficients： αa = 5.8（3） × 10^-5, αb = 5.8 （1）× 10^-5, αc = 5.2（1）× 10^-5, and αv = 7.4（1） × 10^-3 ℃ 1 in good agreement with a recent neutron powder diffraction study. On the other hand, the variation of the unit-cell angles α, β and γ of kyanite with increase in temperature is very complicated, and the agreement among all studies is poor. The thermal expansion data at ambient pressure reported here and the compression data at ambient temperature from the literature suggest that, for the kyanite lattice, the most and least thermally expandable directions correspond to the most and least compressible directions, respectively.展开更多

We confirm, for the first time, that there stably exists ammonium chloride in the atmosphere when temperature is low. The total sulfates particles were affected by relative humidity. Both species and concentration of sulfates decreased first and then grew back by the end of each dust storm. Koninckite, a phosphate mineral never reported as particulate aerosol before, was identified. Meanwhile, our result shows that a chemical modification on dust minerals occurs during long range transportation. PM10 samples collected during the period of dust storms were dominated by crustal minerals such as quartz, illite/smectite, illite, chlorite, feldspar and calcite, and were notably higher in concentration than that in normal periods of time. The amounts of total sulfates, calcite and feldspar altered in each dust storm. It is derived from 24-hour isentropic backward trajectories that two dust events in spring 2008 originated in different sources.展开更多

文摘We present a theoretical scheme to realize two-dimensional(2D)asymmetric diffraction grating in a five-level inverted Y-type asymmetric double semiconductor quantum wells(SQWs)structure with resonant tunneling.The SQW structure interacts with a weak probe laser field,a spatially independent 2D standing-wave(SW)field,and a Laguerre–Gaussian(LG)vortex field,respectively.The results indicate that the diffraction patterns are highly sensitive to amplitude modulation and phase modulation.Because of the existence of vortex light,it is possible to realize asymmetric high-order diffraction in the SQW structure,and then a 2D asymmetric grating is established.By adjusting the detunings of the probe field,vortex field,and SW field,as well as the interaction length,diffraction intensity,and direction of the 2D asymmetric electromagnetically induced grating(EIG)can be controlled effectively.In addition,the number of orbital angular momenta(OAM)and beam waist parameter can be used to modulate the diffraction intensity and energy transfer of the probe light in different regions.High-order diffraction intensity is enhanced and high-efficiency 2D asymmetric diffraction grating with different diffraction patterns is obtained in the scheme.Such 2D asymmetric diffraction grating may be beneficial to the research of optical communication and innovative semiconductor quantum devices.

文摘In oil and gas exploration,small-scale karst cavities and faults are important targets.The former often serve as reservoir space for carbonate reservoirs,while the latter often provide migration pathways for oil and gas.Due to these differences,the classification and identification of karst cavities and faults are of great significance for reservoir development.Traditional seismic attributes and diffraction imaging techniques can effectively identify discontinuities in seismic images,but these techniques do not distinguish whether these discontinuities are karst cavities,faults,or other structures.It poses a challenge for seismic interpretation to accurately locate and classify karst cavities or faults within the seismic attribute maps and diffraction imaging profiles.In seismic data,the scattering waves are associated with small-scale scatters like karst cavities,while diffracted waves are seismic responses from discontinuous structures such as faults,reflector edges and fractures.In order to achieve classification and identification of small-scale karst cavities and faults in seismic images,we propose a diffraction classification imaging method which classifies diffracted and scattered waves in the azimuth-dip angle image matrix using a modified DenseNet.We introduce a coordinate attention module into DenseNet,enabling more precise extraction of dynamic and azimuthal features of diffracted and scattered waves in the azimuth-dip angle image matrix.Leveraging these extracted features,the modified DenseNet can produce reliable probabilities for diffracted/scattered waves,achieving high-accuracy automatic classification of cavities and faults based on diffraction imaging.The proposed method achieves 96%classification accuracy on the synthetic dataset.The field data experiment demonstrates that the proposed method can accurately classify small-scale faults and scatterers,further enhancing the resolution of diffraction imaging in complex geologic structures,and contributing to the localization of karstic fracture-cavern reservoirs.

文摘When a laser beam is incident on a nonlinear grating with a laterally modulated second-order nonlinear coefficient,nonlinear diffraction of the noncollinear second-harmonic generation(SHG)signal occurs,with Raman–Nath nonlinear diffraction(NRND)being a prominent example.As these SHG NRND processes involve coupling between the fundamental-wave pump laser vectorial field and the SHG laser vectorial field through the second-order nonlinearity secondrank tensor of the nonlinear crystal,the nonlinear interaction between light and the nonlinear grating can be manipulated by adjusting the polarization state of the pump laser.In this paper,we derive the relationship between the polarization state of the incident light and the generated nonlinear diffraction signal based on the nonlinear coupled wave equation and experimentally validate the predicted diffraction characteristics.The results show that the optical properties of each order of NRND are highly sensitive to the polarization angle of the incident pump laser beam.

文摘Optical monitoring of object position and alignment with nanoscale precision is critical for ultra-precision measurement applications,such as micro/nano-fabrication,weak force sensing,and micro-scopic imaging.Traditional optical nanometry methods often rely on precision nanostructure fabrication,multi-beam interferometry,or complex post-processing algorithms,which can limit their practical use.In this study,we introduced a simplified and robust quantum measurement technique with an achievable resolution of 2.2 pm and an experimental demonstration of 1 nm resolution,distinguishing it from conventional interferometry,which depended on multiple reference beams.We designed a metasurface substrate with a mode-conversion function,in which an incident Gaussian beam is converted into higher-order transverse electromagnetic mode(TEM)modes.A theoretical analysis,including calculations of the Fisher information,demonstrated that the accuracy was maintained for nanoscale displacements.In conclusion,the study findings provide a new approach for precise alignment and metrology of nanofabrication and other advanced applications.

文摘When a pump laser beam strikes the surface of a nonlinear crystal with modulated second-order nonlinearity,various nonlinear diffraction phenomena occur,with nonlinear Raman–Nath diffraction(NRND)being a prominent example.In this study,we use an 800-nm Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser beam to pump the surface of a periodically poled lithium niobate(PPLN)crystal thin-plate nonlinear grating.By rotating the crystal,we change the incidence angle and observe and measure the exit angle,polarization,and power of NRND spots on the other side of the crystal.The experiment shows that NRND characteristics are highly sensitive to the incidence angle of the pump laser beam,which are consistent with the theoretical prediction.We expect that this research will advance the understanding of nonlinear diffraction and provide valuable insights for nonlinear optical interaction in complicated geometric and physical configurations.

文摘The effects of solid solution on the deformation behavior of binary Mg-xZn(x=0,1,2 wt%)alloys featuring a designated texture that enables extension twinning under tension parallel to the basal pole in most grains,were investigated using in-situ neutron diffraction and the EVPSC-TDT model.Neutron diffraction was used to quantitatively track grain-level lattice strains and diffraction intensity changes(related to mechanical twinning)in differently oriented grains of each alloy during cyclic tensile/compressive loadings.These measurements were accurately captured by the model.The stress-strain curves of Mg-1 wt%Zn and Mg-2 wt%Zn alloys show as-expected solid solution strengthening from the addition of Zn compared to pure Mg.The macroscopic yielding and hardening behaviors are explained by alternating slip and twinning modes as calculated by the model.The solid solution's influence on individual deformation modes,including basal〈a〉slip,prismatic〈a〉slip,and extension twinning,was then quantitatively assessed in terms of activity,yielding behavior,and hardening response by combining neutron diffraction results with crystal plasticity predictions.The Mg-1 wt%Zn alloy displays distinct yielding and hardening behavior due to solid solution softening of prismatic〈a〉slip.Additionally,the dependence of extension twinning,in terms of the twinning volume fraction,on Zn content exhibits opposite trends under tensile and compressive loadings.

文摘Lithography is a Key enabling technique in modern micro/nano scale technology.Achieving the optimal trade-off between resolution,throughput,and cost remains a central focus in the ongoing development.However,current lithographic techniques such as direct-write,projection,and extreme ultraviolet lithography achieve higher resolution at the expense of increased complexity in optical systems or the use of shorter-wavelength light sources,thus raising the overall cost of production.Here,we present a cost-effective and wafer-level perfect conformal contact lithography at the diffraction limit.By leveraging a transferable photoresist,the technique ensures optimal contact between the mask and photoresist with zero-gap,facilitating the transfer of patterns at the diffraction limit while maintaining high fidelity and uniformity across large wafers.This technique applies to a wide range of complex surfaces,including non-conductive glass surfaces,flexible substrates,and curved surfaces.The proposed technique expands the potential of contact photolithography for novel device architectures and practic al manufacturing processes.

文摘In this study,the twinning-detwinning behavior and slip behavior of rolled AZ31 magnesium-alloy plates during a three-step intermittent dynamic compression process along the rolling direction(RD)and normal direction(ND),are investigated via quasi-in situ electron backscatter diffraction,and the causes of the twinning and detwinning behavior are explained according to Schmid law,local strain coordination,and slip trajectories.It is found that the twins are first nucleated and grow at a compressive strain of 3%along the RD.In addition to the Schmid factor(SF),the strain coordination factor(m’)also influences the selection of the twin variants during the twinning process,resulting in the nucleation of twins with a low SF.During the second and third steps of the application of continuous compressive strains with magnitudes and directions of 3%RD+3%ND and 3%RD+3%ND+2.5%ND,detwinning occurs to different extents.The observation of the detwinning behavior reveals that the order in which multiple twins within the same grain undergo complete detwinning is related to Schmid law and the strain concentration,with a low SF and a high strain concentration promoting complete detwinning.The interaction between slip dislocations and twin boundaries in the deformed grains as well as the pinning of dislocations at the tips of the {1012} tensile twins with a special structure result in incomplete detwinning.Understanding the microstructural evolution and twinning behavior of magnesium alloys under different deformation geometries is important for the development of high-strength and high-toughness magnesium alloys.

文摘The effect of silicon doping on the residual stress of CVD diamond films is examined using both X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Raman spectroscopy measurements. The examined Si-doped diamond films are deposited on WC-Co substrates in a home-made bias-enhanced HFCVD apparatus. Ethyl silicate (Si(OC2H5)4) is dissolved in acetone to obtain various Si/C mole ratio ranging from 0.1% to 1.4% in the reaction gas. Characterizations with SEM and XRD indicate increasing silicon concentration may result in grain size decreasing and diamond [110] texture becoming dominant. The residual stress values of as-deposited Si-doped diamond films are evaluated by both sin2ψ method, which measures the (220) diamond Bragg diffraction peaks using XRD, with ψ-values ranging from 0° to 45°, and Raman spectroscopy, which detects the diamond Raman peak shift from the natural diamond line at 1332 cm-1. The residual stress evolution on the silicon doping level estimated from the above two methods presents rather good agreements, exhibiting that all deposited Si-doped diamond films present compressive stress and the sample with Si/C mole ratio of 0.1% possesses the largest residual stress of ~1.75 GPa (Raman) or ~2.3 GPa (XRD). As the silicon doping level is up further, the residual stress reduces to a relative stable value around 1.3 GPa.

文摘Seismic data processing typically deals with seismic wave reflections and neglects wave diffraction that affect the resolution. As a general rule, wave diffractions are treated as noise in seismic data processing. However, wave diffractions generally originate from geological structures, such as fractures, karst caves, and faults. The wave diffraction energy is much weaker than that of the reflections. Therefore, even if wave diffractions can be traced back to their origin, their energy is masked by that of the reflections. Separating and imaging diffractions and reflections can improve the imaging accuracy of diffractive targets. Based on the geometrical differences between reflections and diffractions on the plane-wave record; that is, reflections are quasi-linear and diffractions are quasi-hyperbolic, we use plane-wave prediction fltering to separate the wave diffractions. First, we estimate the local slope of the seismic event using plane- wave destruction filtering and, then, we predict and extract the wave reflections based on the local slope. Thus, we obtain the diffracted wavefield by directly subtracting the reflected wavefield from the entire wavefield. Finally, we image the diffracted wavefield and obtain high-resolution diffractive target results. 2D SEG salt model data suggest that the plane-wave prediction filtering eliminates the phase reversal in the plane-wave destruction filtering and maintains the original wavefield phase, improving the accuracy of imaging heterogeneous objects.

文摘Synchrotron polychromatic X-ray microdiffraction（micro-XRD） was applied to study in situ deformation twinning of commercially AZ31（Mg-3Al-1Zn） strip subjected to uniaxial tension.The morphology and growth of twins were analyzed in situ under the load level from 64 to 73 MPa.The X-ray microdiffraction data,collected on beamline 12.3.2 at the Advanced Light Source,were then used to map an area of 396μm x 200μm within the region of interest.The experimental set-up and X-ray diffraction microscopy with a depth resolution allow the position and orientation of each illuminated grain to be determined at the submicron size.A list of parent grains sorted by crystallographic orientation were selected to examine their twinning behavior.The results depict twin variant selection,local misorientation fluctuation and mosaic spread for multi-twins within the same parent grain.As load increases,the amplitude of misorientation fluctuation along twin trace keeps increasing.This is attributable to the accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations.

文摘A series of SnO2‐based catalysts modified by Mn, Zr, Ti and Pb oxides with a Sn/M （M=Mn, Zr, Ti and Pb） molar ratio of 9/1 were prepared by a co‐precipitation method and used for CH4 and CO oxidation. The Mn3＋, Zr4＋, Ti4＋and Pb4＋cations are incorporated into the lattice of tetragonal rutile SnO2 to form a solid solution structure. As a consequence, the surface area and thermal stability of the catalysts are improved. Moreover, the oxygen species of the modified catalysts become easier to be reduced. Therefore, the oxidation activity over the catalysts was improved, except for the one modified by Pb oxide. Manganese oxide demonstrates the best promotional effects for SnO2. Using an X‐ray diffraction extrapolation method, the lattice capacity of SnO2 for Mn2O3 was 0.135 g Mn2O3/g SnO2, which indicates that to form stable solid solution, only 21%Sn4＋cations in the lattice can be maximally replaced by Mn3＋. If the amount of Mn3＋cations is over the capacity, Mn2O3 will be formed, which is not favorable for the activity of the catalysts. The Sn rich samples with only Sn‐Mn solid solution phase show higher activity than the ones with excess Mn2O3 species.

文摘Due to the cyclic loading and longtime exposure under extreme environment conditions, fatigue cracks often generate in the aircraft metal structures, i.e. wing skin, fuselage skin, strigners, pylons. These cracks could cause severe damages to the aircraft structures. Thus the position and size monitoring of fatigue cracks in the metal structures is very important to manufacturers as well as maintenance personnel for significantly improving the safety and reliability of aircraft. Much progress has been made for crack position monitoring in the past few years. However, the crack size monitoring is still very challenging. Fastest time of flight diffraction （FTOFD） method was developed to monitor both the position and size of a crack. FTOFD method uses an integrated sensor network to activate and receive ultrasonic waves in a structure. Diffraction waves will be generated when the ultrasonic waves pass a crack. These diffraction waves are received and analyzed to get the position and size of the crack. The experiment results show that the monitored size of the simulated crack is very close to the real size of the crack, and for frequencies of 350 and 400 kHz, the monitoring errors are both smaller than 5%.

文摘The thermal expansion coefficients of kyanite at ambient pressure have been investigated by an X-ray powder diffraction technique with temperatures up to 1000 ℃. No phase transition was observed in the experimental temperature range. Data for the unit-cell parameters and temperatures were fitted empirically resulting in the following thermal expansion coefficients： αa = 5.8（3） × 10^-5, αb = 5.8 （1）× 10^-5, αc = 5.2（1）× 10^-5, and αv = 7.4（1） × 10^-3 ℃ 1 in good agreement with a recent neutron powder diffraction study. On the other hand, the variation of the unit-cell angles α, β and γ of kyanite with increase in temperature is very complicated, and the agreement among all studies is poor. The thermal expansion data at ambient pressure reported here and the compression data at ambient temperature from the literature suggest that, for the kyanite lattice, the most and least thermally expandable directions correspond to the most and least compressible directions, respectively.

文摘Additive manufacturing(AM)is a rapid prototyping technology based on the idea of discrete accumulation which off ers an advantage of economically fabricating a component with complex geometries in a rapid design-to-manufacture cycle.However,various internal defects,such as balling,cracks,residual stress and porosity,are inevitably occurred during AM due to the complexity of laser/electron beam-powder interaction,rapid melting and solidification process,and microstructure evolution.The existence of porosity defects can potentially deteriorate the mechanical properties of selective laser melting(SLM)components,such as material stiff ness,hardness,tensile strength,and fatigue resistance performance.Synchrotron X-ray imaging and diffraction are important non-destructive means to elaborately characterize the internal defect characteristics and mechanical properties of AM parts.This paper presents a review on the application of synchrotron X-ray in identifying and verifying the quality and requirement of AM parts.Defects,microstructures and mechanical properties of printed components characterized by synchrotron X-ray imaging and diffraction are summarized in this review.Subsequently,this paper also elaborates on the online characterization of the evolution of the microstructure during AM using synchrotron X-ray imaging,and introduces the method for measuring AM stress by X-ray diffraction(XRD).Finally,the future application of synchrotron X-ray characterization in the AM is prospected.

文摘X-ray diffractometry was utilized to study the mineralogical characteristics of the inhalable particles （PM10） sampled during two dust storms in Beijing city on March 18th and May 21st, 2008. We confirm, for the first time, that there stably exists ammonium chloride in the atmosphere when temperature is low. The total sulfates particles were affected by relative humidity. Both species and concentration of sulfates decreased first and then grew back by the end of each dust storm. Koninckite, a phosphate mineral never reported as particulate aerosol before, was identified. Meanwhile, our result shows that a chemical modification on dust minerals occurs during long range transportation. PM10 samples collected during the period of dust storms were dominated by crustal minerals such as quartz, illite/smectite, illite, chlorite, feldspar and calcite, and were notably higher in concentration than that in normal periods of time. The amounts of total sulfates, calcite and feldspar altered in each dust storm. It is derived from 24-hour isentropic backward trajectories that two dust events in spring 2008 originated in different sources.
