However, its realization remains largely confined to artificial lattices. In this work, we propose the concept of a Lieb electride, where the non-bound electrons gather at the middle edges,behaving as the quasi-atoms of a Lieb lattice, enabling the emergence of flat bands. Using crystal structure prediction method MAGUS and first-principles calculations, we predict a stable candidate, Ca_(2)I, at ambient pressure. Distinct from conventional electrides with localized electrons at cavity centers, Ca_(2)I features interstitial electrons situated at cavity edges. The resultant flat bands lie close to the Fermi level, giving rise to a pronounced peak in the density of states and leading to Stoner-type ferromagnetism. With increasing pressures, we observe quantum phase transitions from ferromagnetic to non-magnetic and finally to antiferromagnetic orders in Ca_(2)I.Intriguingly, superconductivity emerges in the antiferromagnetic region, suggesting potential competition between these correlated states. Our study not only extends the concepts of electrides but also provides a novel strategy for realizing Lieb lattices through non-bound electrons. This work establishes Ca_(2)I as a promising platform for exploring flat-band physics and correlated electronic states, opening avenues for novel quantum phenomena in electride-based materials.展开更多

Diverse volume fractions(1%, 2%, and 3%) of Al_(2)O_(3)-water nanofluids are meticulously prepared and analyzed. The essential physical properties of these nanofluids, critical for evaluating their thermal and flow characteristics, have been comprehensively assessed. From a quantitative perspective, numerical simulations are employed to predict the Nusselt number(Nu) and friction factor(f). The empirical findings reveal intriguing trends: the friction factor experiences an upward trend with diminishing velocity, attributed to heightened molecular cohesion. Conversely, the friction factor demonstrates a decline with diminishing volume fractions, a consequence of reduced particle size. Both the nanofluid's viscosity and heat transfer coefficient exhibit a rise in tandem with augmented volume flow rate and concentration gradient. Notably, the simulation results harmonize remarkably well with experimental data. Rigorous validation against prior studies underscores the robust consistency of these outcomes. In the pursuit of augmenting heat transfer, a volume fraction of 3% emerges as particularly influential, yielding an impressive 53.8% enhancement. Minor increments in the friction factor, while present, prove negligible and can be safely overlooked.展开更多

Here, we report an optical spectroscopy study of a topological hourglass semimetal Nb_(3)SiTe_(6) with the electric field of the incident light parallel to its crystalline ab-plane. The ab-plane optical conductivity spectra of Nb_(3)SiTe_(6) single crystals exhibit a remarkable peak-like feature around 1.20 eV, which is mainly contributed by the direct optical transitions between the two ab-initio-calculation-derived flat bands along the momentum direction Z–U. Our results pave the way for investigating exotic quantum phenomena based on the flat bands in topological hourglass semimetals.展开更多

文摘The aim of this study is to master the influence of the forging process on the micro structure and properties of TA15 flat billets,and to determine the appropriate forging process for the field.In this study,the effects of different forging deformation processes on the micro structure and mechanical properties of TA15 titanium alloy flat billets(80 mm×150 mm×1400 mm)were investigated.The billets underwent various heat treatments at 800-850℃for 1-4 h,and their resulting microstructures and mechanical properties were analyzed.The results showed that billets formed at a primary forging temperature(T_(1)),then air-cooled,and then subjected to a secondary forging temperature(T_(2))with rapid cooling,contained only 10%primaryα-phase,alongside abundant thin acicular phases.This micro structure exhibited high strength at both room and elevated temperatures,with comparable transverse and longitudinal strengths.These findings suggest that a two-step forging process—primary forging followed by air cooling,then secondary forging followed by rapid cooling—is ideal for manufacturing aircraft frame components.

文摘We propose a method to measure the flatness of an object with a petal-like pattern generated by the interference of the measured orbital angular momentum(OAM)beam and the reference OAM beam which carries the opposite OAM state.By calculating the difference between the petal rotation angle without/with the object,the thickness information of the object,and then the flatness information,can be evaluated.Furthermore,the direction of the object’s flatness can be determined by the petal’s clockwise/counterclockwise rotation.We theoretically analyze the relationship between the object’s thickness and petal rotation angle,and verify the proposed method by experiment.The experimental results show that the proposed method is a high precision flatness measurement and can obtain the convex/concave property of the flatness.For the 1.02 mm glass sample,the mean deviation of the flatness is 1.357×10^(-8) and the variance is 0.242×10^(-16).For the 0.50 mm glass sample,the mean deviation of the flatness is 1.931×10^(-8) and the variance is 2.405×10^(-16).Two different topological charges are adopted for the 2.00 mm glass sample,and their flatness deviations are 0.239×10^(-8)(ℓ=1)and 0.246×10^(-8)(ℓ=2),where their variances are 0.799×10^(-18)(ℓ=1)and 0.775×10^(-18)(ℓ=2),respectively.It is shown that the flatness measured by the proposed method is the same for the same sample when different topological charges are used.All results indicate that the proposed method may provide a high flatness measurement,and will be a promising way to measure the flatness.

文摘With the increasing demand for higher-quality flatness in downstream industries,the optimization of rolling processes and parameters has become a critical area of research.The effects of rolling force and front tension adjustments on flatness were examined systematically under various rolling process conditions.By embedding the Johnson-Cook constitutive model into the ABAQUS simulation platform through a user-defined subroutine,a series of three-dimensional finite element models for different rolling scenarios were developed.Simulation results indicate that,under all four rolling process conditions,edge strain consistently exceeds center strain,with forward-driven rolling exhibiting greater edge strain than reverse-driven rolling.Along the strip thickness direction,reverse-driven rolling results in higher strain compared to forward-driven rolling.Moreover,in single roll driven rolling,the upper surface of the strip experiences higher strain than the lower surface,while the reverse trend is observed in double roll driven rolling.As the rolling force increases from 1000 to 5000 kN,the strain difference in the width and thickness directions of the strip varies significantly under double roll driven rolling and double roll reverse-driven rolling,with change slopes of 5.74×10^(-6) and-2.85×10^(-6),respectively.Double roll driven rolling effectively prevents the deterioration of flatness along the rolling direction.Furthermore,as the front tension increases from 60 to 100 MPa,double roll reverse-driven rolling significantly suppresses strain differentials in the width,thickness,and rolling directions,with change slopes of-6.73×10^(-4),1.22×10^(-5),and-1.29×10^(-5),respectively.Eventually,a predictive model is established,integrating rolling process,rolling force,and front tension,thereby providing a theoretical framework for advancing the precision and efficiency of strip rolling processes.

文摘Flat plate impact experiments are crucial in assessing the dynamic mechanical properties of materials.However,yaw angle tolerances always affect the accuracy of the results.To analyze this effect,this study conducted numerical simulations and theoretical derivations of non-ideal plate impacts.By comparing the simulated results of spallation,shock wave propagation,and free surface velocity,laws governing the effect of yaw angle on the plate impact were summarized.We observed that yaw angles influence the wave-action time and the shape of the compression zone,which affects the trigger and location of spallation and the free surface velocity of the target.Additionally,the yaw angle diminishes the kinetic energy of the target.When the yaw angle exceeds 2°,a significant energy reduction occurs as the shock wave propagates,which results in insufficient energy for complete spallation.Our analyses led to proposing methods for determining the critical yaw angle in plate impact experiments and to introducing a multipoint-velocimetry approach to calculate the non-ideal impact posture of the flyer.Notably,the findings revealed that 0.2°could serve as the critical yaw angle in certain scenarios.Leveraging these research outcomes judiciously can aid in assessing experimental deviations effectively and optimizing experimental costs.

文摘This paper proposes a method to generate Bessel-like collimated beams with suppressed side lobes using the flexural vibration modes of a fixed boundary circular plate,which is excited by a longitudinally vibrating transducer in a ring excitation manner.The factors affecting the generation of Bessel-like collimated beams are investigated by theoretical analysis,numerical simulation and experimental methods.The results indicate that Bessel-like wave can be generated by a thin circular plate with fixed boundaries.The third-order mode of the circular plate can be modified to generate a collimated beam with suppressing side lobes when it is excited in a ring excitation manner and the excitation position lies between the first two nodal circles of the plate.As the excitation radius increases,the main lobe width of the resulting Bessel-like collimated beam decreases,the extent of the focusing region increases,and the amplitude of the side lobes initially increases and then decreases.Based on the simulation results,a prototype Bessel-like collimated beam generation system is made and measured experimentally.The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerical results.The Bessel-like collimated beam can be generated by the proposed system,which has potential application in the fields of long-range detection,imaging of highly attenuated materials,and airflow acceleration.

文摘This paper proposes a differential-fatness-based active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)for high-speed steering control of tracked tank systems.Firstly,a high-speed steering model is established by considering the lateral component of the centrifugal force acting on the tank on the basis of modeling and analyzing the dynamic model of the low-speed steering system.Secondly,we propose a differential-flatness ADRC approach by converting the under-actuated system to a fully driven flat one.Moreover,we prove the differential flatness of the steering system,which facilitates a two-channel ADRC development.Finally,we show that both the states of the flat system and the original under-actuated system can track the reference trajectory.On the external interference condition,the system is observed to re-track the target signal within 2 s.

文摘This study presents a simplified numerical approach for evaluating the thermal performance of louvered fin and flat tube heat exchangers(LFFTHXs),which are critical in many thermal management applications but difficult to model due to their complex geometries.The proposed method uses an equivalent convective heat transfer coefficient to represent the fins,significantly reducing the computational requirements of the simulations.Validation against the effectiveness-number of transfer units method showed average deviations of 4.4%for the novel louvered fin with two combined holes and 9.5%for conventional configurations,confirming the accuracy of the method.Further application to two-phase refrigerant scenarios using experimental data demonstrated the robustness of the method and its suitability for practical design and optimization of LFFTHXs.The approach not only improves the feasibility of thermal analysis in industrial applications but also provides a foundation for future research into more efficient heat exchanger designs.
