X-ray diffraction/Rietveld method was used to quantify the crystalline phase composition of the hydrated samples. Additionally, the morphology of hydrated samples was observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results showed that, calcium hydroxide(CH), ettringite(AFt) and amorphous phase content in hydrated samples decreased as the replacement level of CCK increased, while AFm and str?tlingite increased, which was caused by the combination of dilute, physical and pozzolanic effects. The hydration of anhydrous cement phases was accelerated by physical effect but hindered by the retardation effect of CCK. The role of each effects was discussed in detail to analyze the mechanism of OPC hydration with CCK addition. The SEM images showed that the shortening of AFt at 1 day and the denser texture at 28 days was observed with CCK addition, which was caused by the physical and pozzolanic effects, respectively.展开更多

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Magnesium(Mg)alloys typically exhibit anisotropic mechanical behaviors due to their hexagonal close-packed(hcp)crystal structures,often leading to tension-compression asymmetries.Understanding of the asymmetrical and related deformation mechanisms is crucial for their structural applications,particularly in the lightweight transportation industries.Nevertheless,the underlying deformation mechanisms(e.g.,slip versus twinning)at each deformation stage during tension and compression have not been fully understood.In this study,we employed tensile and compressive tests on extruded Al and Mn containing Mg alloy,i.e.,an AM alloy Mg-0.6Mn-0.5Al-0.5Zn-0.4Ca,during the synchrotron X-ray diffraction.Our results show that distinct deformation behaviors and mechanisms in tension and compression are associated with the strong texture in the extruded samples:(i)The tensile deformation is dominated by dislocation slips,with activation of non-basaland<c+a>slip,but deformation twinning is suppressed.(ii)The compressive deformation shows early-stage tensile twinning,followed by dislocation slips.Twinning induces grain reorientation,leading to significant lattice strain evolution aligned with the texture.The pronounced tension-compression asymmetry is attributed to the favorable shear stress direction formed in the twinning system during compression,which facilitates the activation of tensile twins.During tension,the strain hardening rate(SHR)drops significantly after yielding due to limited activated slip systems.In contrast,the samples under compression exhibit significant increases in SHR after yielding.During compression,dislocation multiplication dominates the initial strain hardening,while twinning progressively contributes more significantly than dislocation slip at higher strains.This study improves our understanding of the tension-compression and strain hardening asymmetries in extruded AM Mg alloys.

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Feature extraction in the optical domain offers a promising low-latency,high-throughput solution.Optical diffraction-based feature extraction operating under a coherent light source can further achieve parallel outputs with low energy consumption.However,it presents significant challenges for maintaining the coherent input,scaling the operation rates beyond 10 GHz,and ensuring the effective extraction of functional configuration simultaneously.We propose an optical feature extraction engine(OFE^(2)),which is composed of a diffraction operator and a data preparation module,powering high-speed feature extraction for both image and temporal series tasks.This OFE^(2)can achieve a core latency of less than 250.5 ps;in addition,it can reach a throughput of 250 GOPS and an efficiency of 2.06 TOPS/W.Supported by the OFE^(2),a novel feature extraction paradigm is emerging,enabling high-speed,low-latency service access for applications in scene recognition,medical assistance,and digital finance.

文摘Face-centered cubic(FCC)equi-atomic multi-principal element alloys(MPEAs)exhibit excellent mechan-ical properties over a broad temperature range from cryogenic temperatures(CTs)to room temperature(RT).Specifically,while the deformation mechanism is dominated solely by dislocation slip at RT,the re-duction in stacking fault energy(SFE)at CTs leads to enhanced strain hardening with deformation twin-ning.This study employs in-situ neutron diffraction to reveal the temperature-dependent deformation be-havior of the FCC/body-centered cubic(BCC)dual-phase(DP)Al7(CoNiV)93 medium-entropy alloy(MEA),which possesses a matrix exhibiting deformation behavior analogous to that of representative equi-atomic MPEAs.Alongside the increased lattice friction stress associated with reduced temperature as a thermal component,deformation twinning at liquid nitrogen temperature(LNT)facilitates dislocation activity in the FCC matrix,leading to additional strain hardening induced by the dynamic Hall-Petch effect.This would give the appearance that the improved strengthening/hardening behaviors at LNT,compared to RT,are primarily attributable to the FCC phase.In contrast,the BCC precipitates are governed solely by dislocation slip for plastic deformation at both 77 K and 298 K,exhibiting a similar trend in dislocation density evolution.Nevertheless,empirical and quantitative findings indicate that the intrinsically high Peierls-Nabarro barriers in the BCC precipitates exhibit pronounced temperature-dependent lattice fric-tion stress,suggesting that the BCC precipitates play a more significant role in the temperature-dependent strengthening/hardening behaviors for the DP-MEA.This study provides a comprehensive understanding of deformation behavior by thoroughly analyzing temperature-dependent strengthening/hardening mech-anisms across various DP-MPEA systems,offering valuable guidelines for future alloy design.
文摘An analytical expression for focal intensity is derived for arbitrary surface profiles and arbitrary groove patterns of compressor gratings.The expression is valid for different compressor designs:plane and out-of-plane compressors,symmetric and asymmetric compressors(compressors composed by two not-identical pairs of gratings)and a twograting compressor.It is shown that the quality requirements for the optics used to write a grating are higher than for the grating.The focal intensity can be maximized by rotating each grating around its normal by 180 degrees.Moreover,it may be increased to maximum by interchanging any two gratings in the compressor,because imperfections of an individual grating do not additively affect the focal intensity.The intensity decrease is proportional to the squared pulse spectrum width and the squared total distortions of the second and third gratings of the four-grating compressor and the total distortions of two gratings of the two-grating compressor.

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The detrimental phase transformations of sodium layered transition metal oxides(Na_(x)TMO_(2))during desodiation/sodiation seriously suppress their practical applications for sodium ion batteries(SIBs).Undoubtedly,comprehensively investigating of the dynamic crystal structure evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)associating with Na ions extraction/intercalation and then deeply understanding of the relationships between electrochemical performances and phase structures drawing support from advanced characterization techniques are indispensable.In-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction(HEXRD),a powerful technology to distinguish the crystal structure of electrode materials,has been widely used to identify the phase evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)and then profoundly revealed the electrochemical reaction processes.In this review,we begin with the descriptions of synchrotron characterization techniques and then present the advantages of synchrotron X-ray diffraction(XRD)over conventional XRD in detail.The optimizations of structural stability and electrochemical properties for P2-,O3-,and P2/O3-type Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes through single/dual-site substitution,high-entropy design,phase composition regulation,and surface engineering are summarized.The dynamic crystal structure evolutions of Na_(x)TMO_(2)polytypes during Na ion extraction/intercalation as well as corresponding structural enhancement mechanisms characterizing by means of HEXRD are concluded.The interior relationships between structure/component of Na_(x)TMO_(2)polytypes and their electrochemical properties are discussed.Finally,we look forward the research directions and issues in the route to improve the electrochemical properties of Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes for SIBs in the future and the combined utilizations of multiple characterization techniques.This review will provide significant guidelines for rational designs of high-performance Na_(x)TMO_(2)cathodes.
