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

Div...This study delves into both experimental and analytical examinations of heat exchange in a straight channel, where Al_(2)O_(3)-water nanofluids are utilized, spanning the Reynolds number spectrum from 100 to 1800. 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Understanding the characteristics of windsand flow field in the curve section of desert highway under different wind directions is helpful for reducing the wind-sand damage in the curve section.Therefore,taking the desert section of Wuma Expressway in Zhongwei city,Ningxia,China as the research background,the wind-sand flow field and sand accumulation phenomenon of concave surface plane curve embankment under different wind directions is calculated and analyzed by computational fluid dynamics(CFD)numerical simulation method.The results show that:(1)Under different wind directions,along the direction of the route,at the starting point of the route,the windward slope of the embankment is a circular arc section,which reduces the resistance of wind-sand flow and promotes the acceleration of sand particles.In the middle of the route,the low-speed area of the windward slope toe and the leeward slope toe is small;at the end of the route,the high-speed area on the shoulder side of the leeward road rises upward.(2)Under different wind directions,the smaller the angle between the wind direction and the route,the stronger the lateral transport effect on the wind-blown sand flow,and the more sand particles transported along the route direction.(3)Under different wind directions,in the concave windward horizontal curve,with the increase of the angle,the sand area on the top of the embankment shows an increasing trend.Whenα=30°,45°,60°,75°,the percentage of the sand area on the top of the embankment to the total embankment area is 0%,33.3%,64.4%,71.0%,respectively.(4)Under different wind directions,along the route direction,the sand transport efficiency of the concave surface upwind plane curve embankment shows a decreasing trend.In the case of a certain radius of the horizontal curve,the angle range between the wind direction and the concave horizontal curve route is recommended to be 30°-45°.
文摘This study analyzes the energy impact of applying green roofs on flat roofs of existing buildings,assessing their potential to reduce the demand for non-renewable primary energy for heating and cooling.Through dynamic numerical simulations conducted on two real buildings located near Florence,Italy,and modeled in 130 different European locations,with a particular focus on the Mediterranean climate,it was possible to quantify the energy benefits derived from the application of green roofs on existing structures.The results show that,while the effect on heating is limited,with an average reduction in energy demand of only a few percentage points,the impact on cooling is significantly more pronounced,with average savings of 20%in non-renewable primary energy,particularly in Mediterranean climates with high CDD(cooling degree days)values.The study confirms that green roofs can be an effective solution to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings with flat roofs in the Mediterranean climate,in line with European goals for reducing CO_(2) emissions and promoting renewable energy.

文摘In this paper,the optical efficiency and output thermal power of the heliostat mirror field are analyzed and optimized by constructing a geometric model and an optimization algorithm for the optimal design of the heliostat mirror field of a tower-type solar photovoltaic power plant.First,based on the solar position model and the optical efficiency model of the heliostat mirror field,the annual average optical efficiency,the annual average output thermal power,and the annual average output thermal power per unit mirror area of the heliostat mirror field are calculated.Secondly,the EB layout was used to optimize the heliostat field,and the parameters of heliostat size and mounting height were optimized by genetic algorithm and particle swarm algorithm to maximize the annual average output thermal power per unit mirror surface area.The results show that the optimized heliostat mirror field significantly increases the annual average output thermal power per unit mirror area under the condition of achieving the rated power,which provides theoretical basis and technical support for the design and operation of the tower solar thermal power plant.
文摘Phase change heat transfer devices like heat pipes are widely utilized in temperature control and heat transfer.However,the traditional single uniform wick makes it hard to meet the requirements of capillary pressure and permeability for high-performance heat pipes,thus limiting the improvement of heat transfer performance.In this paper,a gradient structure wick sintered by 316 L stainless steel powder is designed.The capillary performance is tested and characterized through permeability test experiments and capillary rise infrared test experiments.Moreover,the influence of different particle sizes of sintered powder on the capillary performance of the wick structure is studied.The experimental results indicate that the capillary pressure and permeability of the gradient structure wick are significantly improved compared with the traditional single structure wick.Its capillary performance parameter S(K·Pcap)is enhanced by more than 30%,providing an effective alternative for the wick of two-phase heat exchange devices.
文摘The present review explores the promising role of nanofluids and related hybrid variants in enhancing the efficiencyof flat tube car radiators.As vehicles become more advanced and demand better thermal performance,traditional coolants are starting to fall short.Nanofluids,which involve tiny nanoparticles dispersed into standardcooling liquids,offer a new solution by significantly improving heat transfer capabilities.The article categorizesthe different types of nanofluids(ranging from those based on metals and metal oxides to carbon materials andhybrid combinations)and examines their effects on the improvement of radiator performance.General consensusexists in the literature that nanofluids can support better heat dissipation and enable accordingly the developmentof smaller and lighter radiators,which require less coolant and allow more compact vehicle designs.However,thisreview demonstrates that the use of nanofluids does not come without challenges.These include the long-termstability of these fluids and material compatibility issues.A critical discussion is therefore elaborated about thegaps to be filled and the steps to be undertaken to promote and standardize the use of these fluids in the industry.

文摘Flat electronic bands in condensed matter provide a rich avenue for exploring novel quantum phenomena. 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.
