A global analysis of constitutive parameters based on the Latin Hypercube Sampling method and the Spearman＇s rank correlation method is adopted in order to improve the identification efficiency of parameters. Then, an optimal solution of constitutive parameters as a whole is obtained by using a global genetic algorithm composed of an improved niche genetic algorithm, a global peak determination strategy and the local accurate search techniques. It is concluded that the proposed constitutive modal can accurately describe the Ti-6Al-4V alloy＇s dynamic behavior because the prediction results of the model are in good agreement with the experimental data.展开更多

文摘Negatively charged boron vacancy(V_(B)^(-))spin defects are stable in nanoscale hexagonal boron nitride(hBN)flakes,which can be easily integrated into two-dimensional materials and devices to serve as both sensors and protective materials.Ion irradiation is frequently employed to create V_(B)^(-)spin defects in hBN.However,the optimal ion irradiation parameters remain unclear,even though they play a crucial role in determining the depth and density of the defects,which in turn affect sensing sensitivity.In this work,we optimize the carbon ion irradiation parameters for creating V_(B)^(-)spin defects by varying the irradiation dose and the incident angle.For 30 keV carbon ion irradiation,the optimal irradiation dose to create a V_(B)^(-)ensemble is determined to be 4×10^(13)ions/cm^(2),and both continuous and pulsed optically detected magnetic resonance measurements are used to estimate the magnetic sensitivity and spin coherence properties.Moreover,the incident angle of energetic ions is found to influence both the depth and density distributions of the V_(B)^(-)ensemble,a factor that is often overlooked.These results pave the way for improving the performance of quantum sensors based on hBN spin defects by optimizing the irradiation parameters.

文摘Hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN)has emerged as a promising two-dimensional material for quantum and optoelectronic applications,with its unique ability to host engineered defects enabling single-photon emission and spin manipulation.This study investigates defect formation in h-BN using focused helium ion beam(He^(+)FIB)irradiation and post-annealing treatments.We demonstrate that helium ion irradiation at doses up to 2×10^(9) ions/μm^(2) does not induce phase transitions or amorphization.Spectroscopic analyses,including differential reflectance spectroscopy(DRS),photoluminescence(PL),and Raman spectroscopy,reveal substantial defect formation and structural modifications.Notably,the irradiation induces a softening of in-plane and interlayer phonon modes,characterized by frequency redshifts of 10.5 cm^(-1) and 3.2 cm^(-1),respectively.While high-temperature thermal annealing mitigates lattice defects and facilitates single-photon emission,the E_(2g) peak width remains 38%broader and the shear mode peak width is 60%broader compared to pre-annealing conditions in the Raman spectra,indicating residual structural degradation.These findings provide insights into defect engineering mechanisms in h-BN,offering guidance for optimizing processing conditions and advancing quantum and optoelectronic device technologies.

文摘Enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of the electrode materials,specifically oxygen reduction reaction(ORR),at lower operating temperatures(<600℃)is the prime rank to realize the commercialization of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs)research.Herein,a new hexagonal structure-based cathode material was developed with the co-doping of Gd_(2)O_(3)and Cr_(2)O_(3)of parent SrFe_(12)O_(19)oxide,respectively.At 550-475℃,Sr_(0.90)Gd_(0.10)Fe_(11.90)Cr_(0.10)O_(19)(SFO-10)cathode sample leading to the large peak power density(PPD)of 395 mW/cm^(2),has appropriate surface oxygen defects(O_(β))up to 17%,as verified by X-ray photoelectron microscopy(XPS).Theoretical calculations reveal that the co-doping of Gd and Cr oxides creates lattice disorder at the hexagonal lattice,which decreases the energy barrier for ion transport and enhances the electrocatalytic characteristics of ORR.Consequently,the SFO-10 cathode shows a favorable ORR activity with the least lower polarization resistance(ASR)at 550℃with gadolinium-doped ceria(GDC)electrolyte.This work provides a self-assembled single-phase hexagonal cathode to accelerate the lowtemperature hindrance of SOFC technology.

文摘Strain rate is a critical factor influencing the mechanical response of hexagonal close-packed titanium under cryogenic conditions.In this study,uniaxial tensile tests were performed on commercially pure titanium at 77 K over a broad strain rate range from 0.001 to 1 s^(-1).A critical strain rate of approximately 0.5 s^(-1)was identified,above which ductility exhibits a pronounced reduction,whereas below this threshold,ductility remains relatively stable.Through comprehensive analyses of strain evolution,deformed microstructure,and fracture morphology,this behavior is attributed to severe localized adiabatic heating resulting from inhomogeneous deformation,rather than conventional twin or shear mechanisms.

文摘In this paper,the mechanical response of a one-dimensional(1D)hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystal(PQC)thin film is analyzed under electric and temperature loads.Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory,a theoretical model is proposed,resulting in coupled governing integral equations that account for interfacial normal and shear stresses.To numerically solve these integral equations,an expansion method using orthogonal Chebyshev polynomials is employed.The results provide insights into the interfacial stresses,axial force,as well as axial and vertical deformations of the PQC film.Additionally,fracture criteria,including stress intensity factors,mode angles,and the J-integral,are evaluated.The solution is compared with the membrane theory,neglecting the normal stress and bending deformation.Finally,the effects of stiffness and aspect ratio on the PQC film are thoroughly discussed.This study serves as a valuable guide for controlling the mechanical response and conducting safety assessments of PQC film systems.

文摘Despite advances in photocatalytic half-reduction reactions,challenges remain in effectively utilizing electron-hole pairs in concurrent redox processes.The present study involved the construction of a p-n junction Co_(3)O_(4)/Zn_(3)In_(2)S_(6)(CoZ)hybrid with a complementary band edge potential.The photocatalyst formed by the 2D assembled-nanostructure portrayed an optimal yield of 13.8(H_(2))and 13.1(benzaldehyde)mmol g^(-1)h^(-1)when exposed to light(λ>420 nm),surpassing 1%Pt-added ZIS(12.4(H_(2))and 10.71(benzaldehyde)mmol g^(-1)h^(-1)).Around 95%of the electron-hole utilization rate was achieved.The solar-to-hydrogen(STH)and apparent quantum yield(AQY)values of 0.466%and 4.96%(420nm)achieved by this system in the absence of sacrificial agents exceeded those of previous works.The exceptional performance was mostly ascribed to the synergistic development of adjoining p-n heterojunctions and the built-in electric field for effective charge separation.Moreover,scavenger studies elucidated the intricate mechanistic enigma of the dual-redox process,in which benzaldehyde was produced via O-H activation and subsequent C-H cleavage of benzyl alcohol over CoZ hybrids.Furthermore,the widespread use of the optimal 1-CoZ composites was confirmed in multiple photoredox systems.This work presents an innovative perspective on the construction of dual-functioning p-n heterojunctions for practical photoredox applications.
