The influence of the annealing time on the current-voltage properties was systematically investigated. Linear current-voltage characteristics were observed in the as-prepared and the 10 h annealed samples, and nonlinear current-voltage characteristics was found in the 100 h annealed sample. At the same time, segregation of impurity phase and micro-cracks were found on the surfaces of the 100 h annealed samples, which was testified to be Ba ion impurity. Analysis showed that the changes of electronic properties were caused by barium ion im-purities and micro-cracks in the 100 h annealed sample.展开更多

Over 20 samples are measured at room temperature with various electrodes, and the resulting curves are all similar in shape. When a voltage of about 560V is applied to the cBN crystal, the emitted light is visible to the naked eye in a dark room. We explain these phenomena by the space charge limited current and the electronic transition between the X and Г valleys of the conduction band.展开更多

For efficient collection of photo-generated carriers, photovoltaic and photodetector devices require good ohmic contacts with transparent electrodes. The amorphous-Si thin films were sputter deposited on ITO coated glass substrates. As-deposited p-type a-Si:H on ITO formed nearly ohmic type contacts and further annealing did not improve the contact characteristics. On the other hand, as-deposited n-type a-Si:H on ITO formed an ohmic contact, while further annealing resulted in a Schottky type contact. The ITO contact with p-type silicon semiconductor is a ro-bust ohmic contact for Si based optoelectronic devices.展开更多

The current-voltage （l-V） curves exhibited nonlinearity beyond a critical value of voltage. The dynamic random resistor network （DRRN） model was adopted to semi-qualitatively explain the nonlinear conduction behavior of m-CB/PET/PE composites. Macroscopic nonlinearity originated from the interfacial interactions between CB/PET micro fibrils and additional conduction channels. Combined with the special conductive networks, an illustration was proposed to interpret the nonlinear 1-V characteristics by a field emission or tunneling mechanism between CB particles in the CB/PET micro fibers intersections.展开更多

The current-voltage （I - V） characteristics are nonlinear from 300 down to 60 K. Some step-like structures in the I - V curves and oscillation peaks in the differential conductance （dI/dV - V） curves have been observed even at room temperature. It proposes that the observed behaviour can be attributed to Coulomb-blockade transport in the one-dimensional CdS nanowires with diameters of 6-10 nm.展开更多

文摘This paper studies the structural response of high-speed train wipers under the combined action of complex flow fields and scraping actions.The stress concentration areas are determined through simulation analysis,and the stress and aerodynamic load measurement points are reasonably arranged accordingly.The actual measurement is carried out in combination with the operating conditions of the existing lines.The stress variations and spectral characteristics of the train under different speed levels(80,160,180,200 km/h),tunnel entry and exit,and scraper action conditions were compared and analyzed.The stress amplification factors under tunnel intersection and scraper action were obtained,providing boundary conditions for the design of wipers for highspeed s.The research results show that the maximum stress of the wiper structure obtained through simulation calculation is concentrated at the connection of the wiper arm.Structural stress increases with the rise of speed grade.The stress increases by 1.11 times when the tunnel meets.When the scraper operates,the stress on the scraper arm increases by 4.1–7.6 times.Due to the broadband excitation effect of the aerodynamic load,the spectral energy of the structure is relatively high at the natural frequency,which excites the natural mode of the wiper.

文摘Understanding the bubble behaviours and flow characteristics of large-capacity bottom-blowing electric arc furnace(EAF)is crucial for potential exogenous gas-induced slag foaming process and enhancement of molten bath dynamics.A physical model and a 3D gas-slag-steel transient bottom-blowing numerical model of a 150 t EAF were established to investigate the bubble behaviour and flow characteristics throughout the molten steel bath and slag layer under bottom-blowing,with referring to gas flow rate,plug diameter,plug arrangement and injection angle.Results indicate that the average bubble sizes experience increase,dynamic stability and decrease in molten steel bath and then undergo decrease and increase after entering into slag layer for all bottom-blowing modes.The bubble numbers exhibit the opposing trends during the process.Increase in gas flow rate leads to a significant rise in average bubble size but a decrease in number,average dwelling time and the spread area of bubbles in slag layer.Increase in plug diameter causes an opposite impact.The effect of plug arrangement radii on bubbles is almost negligible.Increasing the injection angle results in an increase in bubble size and a decrease in both bubble number and dwelling time in slag layer.The slag foaming potential was discussed referring to the bubble size,number and dwelling time in slag layer.Increase in gas flow rate and plug diameters can significantly enhance the fluids flow through increasing average flow velocity,decreasing mixing time and dead zone ratio of molten bath.Plug arrangement radius and injection angle express nonlinear correlation with average flow velocity and dead zone ratio,and the plug arrangement radius of 0.5R(R represents the radius of bottom circle of EAF model)and injection angle of 15°perform better in enhancing dynamics of molten bath.A group of bottom-blowing parameters are proposed to achieve better comprehensive performance of bubble-induced slag foaming and molten bath dynamics.

文摘Clarifying the photosynthetic and population characteristics of conventional japonica rice at different yield levels is crucial for boosting yield and ensuring food security.Therefore,a two-year field trial with two conventional japonica varieties was conducted at four planting densities:16 cm×30 cm(D1),14 cm×30 cm(D2),12 cm×30 cm(D3),and 10 cm×30 cm(D4).This study aimed to investigate how photosynthetic and population characteristics influence grain yield under varying planting densities.The results indicated that higher yields were primarily driven by increased grain weight and seed-setting rate(with a 9.68%‒11.40%higher single panicle weight),supported by optimized dry matter translocation and source-sink relationships.Elevated planting density(D2‒D4)enhanced panicle number and total spikelet number(by 3.91%‒15.00%)but reduced the number of spikelets per panicle,1000-grain weight,and photosynthetic efficiency due to mutual shading.Despite these trade-offs,yield increased by 4.10%‒12.42%under higher densities.The use of planting density D4 in japonica rice cultivation contributed to maximize yield.These findings provide important theoretical insights and practical significance for increasing the yield of conventional japonica rice and ensuring food security.

文摘Taking half-tube part with curvature as an example,the Impact Hydroforming(IHF)characteristics were studied by combining the actual forming experiment and numerical simulation.The IHF experiment showed that wrinkles appeared at the bottom of the part during single-step forming,but no wrinkles were observed during double-step forming.The thinning rate and deviation of the wall thickness of the part in each area were less than 20%and 2.7 mm,correspondingly,and the drawing depth of the part reached 45.8 mm.The effect of double-step forming was better than that of single-step forming,which was related to the IHF forming law.Besides,the characteristics of the IHF process were studied by numerical simulation.The results indicated that when double-step forming was utilized,there was almost no velocity field in the opposite direction of deformation after the bottom of the part contacted the die,and the existence of stress state at the bottom would restrain and eliminate the wrinkles.The inertia effect evolved with the driving pressure.Specially,the inertia effect can improve the flow of metal and reduce the deviation of the wall thickness of the part under double-step forming.
文摘A flow transition prediction method for calculating effects of Reynolds numbers on aerodynamic characteristics of airfoil is developed,and the accuracy of the method is verified by wind tunnel experiment data and other calculation results.On these basics,the infrared thermal imager experiment results of the flow transition in lowspeed wind tunnel and the aerodynamic characteristics experiment results with variable Reynolds number in highspeed wind tunnel are carried out respectively,and compared with the numerical results of helicopter rotor airfoil.Specially,effects of Reynolds numbers on airfoil aerodynamic characteristics by means of flow transition under different working conditions are researched and some meaningful conclusions are obtained.The calculation method,experiment method and results as well as the flow transition analysis conclusions for aerodynamic characteristics can be used for the design of helicopter rotor airfoil,especially for the helicopters under the high altitude and low Reynolds number working conditions.
文摘BACKGROUND Appropriate care for individuals who attempt suicide and are admitted to the emergency department(ED)can prevent future suicidal behavior.It is vital to understand their sociodemographic characteristics and the effects of targeted psychological care.AIM To analyze sociodemographic characteristics of suicide attempters treated in the ED and evaluate the efficacy of psychological care.METHODS Data from 239 suicide attempters treated in the ED of the Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture(Hubei Province,China)between January 2021 and February 2025 were divided into 2:Control(n=108)and psychological care(n=131).The demographic characteristics and effects of the psychological care were analyzed.RESULTS The mean(±SD)age of the 239 patients[114 male(47.7%),125 female(52.3%)]was 26.25±9.3 years,of whom 122(45.2%)were single,117(48.9%)were married,and 106(44.4%)had secondary education.Thirty-eight(15.9%)patients had suicidal intent,with a mean of 1.26±0.59 suicide attempts each.Twenty-two(9.21%)patients had a family history of suicide,while 8(3.34%)had a family history of suicide attempt(s).Before intervention,mean Suicidal Intent Scale scores in the psychological nursing and control groups were 21.57±5.28 and 19.86±5.92,respectively(P>0.05).After 1 month of nursing intervention,the respective scores were 10.09±1.11 and 16.48±0.87(P<0.001);and the re-suicide rates were 11.45%(15/131)and 24.07%(26/108)(P<0.001).CONCLUSION Psychological care significantly reduces suicide risk;EDs should provide comprehensive mental health care.

文摘Bottom-up and top-down endogenous automobile clusters exhibit distinct evolutionary traits and driving mechanisms,yet their comparative analysis remains understudied.Therefore,using Taizhou automobile industry cluster(TAIC)and Wuhu automobile industry cluster(WAIC)as cases,using historical statistical data and field interview data from the 1980s to 2023,combined with qualitative research methods of thematic and diachronic analysis,and quantitative research methods of social network analysis,we compare both endogenous automobile clusters’evolutionary traits and driving mechanisms.The results confirm both clusters undergo multi-scale spatial reconfiguration,organizational complexification,and intelligent networking technological transformation,yet diverge fundamentally:TAIC evolves through market-driven progressive expansion,transitioning from single to dual-core structures via private enterprise networking,with innovation following market-integrated logic and institutional thickness built on demand-driven evolution.Conversely,WAIC follows planned expansion,maintaining state-led hierarchical single-core stability through policy-driven breakthrough innovation and supply-dominated institutional construction-though both ultimately require formal-informal system synergy.Their coevolution is driven by dynamic interactions of path dependence(weakening influence),learning-innovation(strengthening influence),and relationship selection(inverted U-shaped trajectory),with divergent development paths rooted in TAIC’s grassroots self-organization genes versus WAIC’s top-level design genes,amplified by core enterprises’strategic disparities.The research findings can not only provide decision-making support for China’s industrial upgrading,but also contribute China’s insights to global economic governance.
