文摘In this study,we explore a spherically symmetric charged black hole(BH)with a negative cosmological constant under the influence of a Kalb-Ramond field background.We compute the photon sphere and shadow radii,validating our findings using observational data from the Event Horizon Telescope,with a particular emphasis on the shadow images of Sagittarius A^(*).Furthermore,we investigate the greybody factors,emission rate,and partial absorption cross section.It is shown that the Lorentz-violating parameter l has an important effect on the absorption cross section.Our analysis also includes an examination of the topological charge,temperature-dependent topology,and generalized free energy.In particular,we regard the AdS charged BH with an antisymmetric tensor background as a topological defect in the thermodynamic space,then the system has the same topological classification to the charged Reissner-Nordström-AdS BH.

文摘In this study,a Gaussian Process Regression(GPR)surrogate model coupled with a Bayesian optimization algorithm was employed for the single-objective design optimization of fan-shaped film cooling holes on a concave wall.Fan-shaped holes,commonly used in gas turbines and aerospace applications,flare toward the exit to form a protective cooling film over hot surfaces,enhancing thermal protection compared to cylindrical holes.An initial hole configuration was used to improve adiabatic cooling efficiency.Design variables included the hole injection angle,forward expansion angle,lateral expansion angle,and aperture ratio,while the objective function was the average adiabatic cooling efficiency of the concave wall surface.Optimization was performed at two representative blowing ratios,M=1.0 and M=1.5,using the GPR-based surrogate model to accelerate exploration,with the Bayesian algorithm identifying optimal configurations.Results indicate that the optimized fan-shaped holes increased cooling efficiency by 15.2%and 12.3%at low and high blowing ratios,respectively.Analysis of flow and thermal fields further revealed how the optimized geometry influenced coolant distribution and heat transfer,providing insight into the mechanisms driving the improved cooling performance.

文摘This paper investigates the mechanical behavior of two-dimensional(2D)piezoelectric quasicrystals(PQCs)containing polygonal holes under external forces.Based on the linear elastic theory of quasicrystals(QCs),the analytical solutions for the stress and displacement fields are derived with the Stroh formalism,Green's function method,and polygonal mapping functions.Numerical simulations are performed to study the effects of hole geometry and corner sharpness on the stress distribution.The results show that the polygonal hole shapes significantly influence the generalized hoop stress,with sharper corners leading to stronger stress concentration and enhanced piezoelectric coupling effects.The stress concentrations at hole corners reach their maximum values at specific sharpness parameters,depending on the polygon type.The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the defect-induced mechanical behavior in 2D PQCs,and provide theoretical guidance for their structural design and optimization.

文摘In recent years,the research on superconductivity in one-dimensional(1D)materials has been attracting increasing attention due to its potential applications in low-dimensional nanodevices.However,the critical temperature(T_(c))of 1D superconductors is low.In this work,we theoretically investigate the possible high T_(c) superconductivity of(5,5)carbon nanotube(CNT).The pristine(5,5)CNT is a Dirac semimetal and can be modulated into a semiconductor by full hydrogenation.Interestingly,by further hole doping,it can be regulated into a metallic state with the sp^(3)-hybridized σ electrons metalized,and a giant Kohn anomaly appears in the optical phonons.The two factors together enhance the electron–phonon coupling,and lead to high-T_(c) superconductivity.When the hole doping concentration of hydrogenated-(5,5)CNT is 2.5 hole/cell,the calculated T_(c) is 82.3 K,exceeding the boiling point of liquid nitrogen.Therefore,the predicted hole-doped hydrogenated-(5,5)CNT provides a new platform for 1D high-T_(c) superconductivity and may have potential applications in 1D nanodevices.

文摘Molecular tailoring of self-assembled hole-transporting monolayers(SAMs)has been proven as an efficient approach for improving the device performance of inverted perovskite solar cells.Herein,a novel SAM with extended conjugation is designed and synthesized,named NaPh-4PACz.Compared to Ph-4PACz,NaPh-4PACz exhibits a larger adsorption energy with the ITO substrate,enabling the formation of a more uniform and dense film,thereby preventing direct contact between the perovskite and ITO.Additionally,NaPh-4PACz also has a stronger interaction with the perovskite,which can reduce buried interface defects and suppress non-radiative recombination.Consequently,NaPh-4PACz-based devices achieved a power conversion efficiency of 25.48%due to their interfacial“adhesive”ability.Importantly,the stability of the NaPh-4PACz-based devices was significantly improved.

文摘Based on the idea of treating the anti de Sitter(AdS)radius as a fixed parameter,we study the thermodynamics and topology of d-dimensional charged AdS black holes in the restricted phase space utilizing Visser's holographic approach.For the charged black hole with a cloud of strings and quintessence in the higher-dimensional spacetimes with d=(4,5,6),we demonstrate that the topological number remains invariant within the same canonical ensemble;however,a distinct topological number emerges in the grand canonical ensemble for the same black hole system.Notably,these results are independent of the dimension d and other related parameters.The formalism known as restricted phase space thermodynamics is checked in detail and some interesting thermodynamic behavior is revealed in the example case of d-dimensional charged AdS black holes with a cloud of strings and quintessence.This research lays the foundation for establishing a universal framework of restricted phase space thermodynamics and investigating its fundamental thermodynamic properties.

文摘A major challenge for n-i-p structured perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells(TSCs)is the use of 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9,9′-spirobifluorene(spiro-OMe TAD),a commonly used hole transport layer,which induces significant optical losses and consequently reduces device current.Herein,we propose an ultra-thin(10 nm)vacuum thermal evaporation(VTE)-deposited spiro-OMe TAD,coupled with a 2D/3D perovskite heterojunction,to simultaneously enhance the optical and electrical properties of n-i-p perovskite/silicon TSCs.Our results demonstrate that the 10-nm-thick spiro-OMe TAD layer significantly improves optical performance,achieving a 92.2% reduction in parasitic absorption and an 18.4%decrease in reflection losses.Additionally,the incorporation of the 2D/3D perovskite heterojunction facilitates improved molecular arrangement and enhanced surface uniformity of the ultrathin spiro-OMe TAD,leading to higher tolerance to interface defects and more efficient hole extraction.Consequently,n-i-p perovskite/silicon TSCs featuring ultrathin spiro-OMe TAD exhibit remarkable efficiencies of 29.73%(0.135 cm^(2))and 28.77%(28.25% certified efficiency,1.012 cm^(2)),along with improved stability.

文摘Achieving uniform X-ray irradiation in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion(ICF)is a key challenge for successful capsule implosion.Spherical hohlraums,particularly those with octahedral laser entrance holes(LEHs),are an alternative to the cylindrical hohlraums currently considered for ICF at NIF(USA)and LMJ(France).These spherical hohlraums are advantageous in terms of irradiation uniformity on the fusion capsule because,owing to their octahedral symmetry,low-order asymmetries cancel out intrinsically.However,they may be less favorable from an energetic point of view,primarily owing to radiation losses through their multiple LEHs.The net balance of these advantages and disadvantages is difficult to determine,because,unlike cylindrical hohlraums,they require fully 3D modeling.To address this,a new version of the MULTI-3D simulation code has been developed.MULTI-3D is a 3D radiation-hydrodynamics code with arbitrary Langrangian-Eulerian(ALE)hydrodynamics,multigroup SN radiation transport,and ray-tracing laser deposition.Using this tool,several aspects of the behavior of spherical hohlraums have been analyzed,with special attention to phenomena inaccessible to 2D modeling.In these targets,laser beams strike the inner walls at very oblique angles,and the expansion of plasma significantly alters the locations where primary X rays are produced.Furthermore,the complex distribution of laser hot spots leads to mutual interactions,where plasma bubbles from one beam intersect the path of another.The laser-to-X-ray energy conversion efficiency has been analyzed as a function of key parameters.The symmetry on the capsule has also been evaluated,revealing nonuniformities of less than 1%.
文摘LOKIBASE is a non-linear isolator/dissipator device to protect pallet racking systems against the earthquake.LOKIBASE consists of the following main components:(1)two slider devices on which a rubber membrane is set up(LOKI devices).LOKI devices are linear displacement dependent ones;(2)a cylindrical beam damper(“CANDLE”device).The“CANDLE”device is a non-linear displacement dependent one;(3)two anti-lifting devices(“UP-LIFT”devices);(4)a fuse plug(see www.lokibasedevice.com).The main work which is the purpose of the paper,is the optimization of the behavior of an isolator/dissipator device to mitigate the seismic action on special structures,where the stiffness values are very different in the main cross-aisle and down-aisle directions.Under seismic action,in these structures it is very important to reduce the value of the forces at the Limit state for the safeguard of human life(SLV)in the down-aisle direction as much as possible and simultaneously to use the highest damping value allowed by the building rules to reduce the LOKIBASE displacement at the Limit state for collapse prevention(SLC)in the cross-aisle direction.The goal was achieved through a cylindrical device made of stainless steel(AISI304)with an optimized shape,under large displacement during seismic action.

文摘SiC_(f)/SiC ceramic matrix composites(SiC_(f)/SiC composites)are difficult to drill small holes due to their heterogeneity,high hardness,and low electrical conductivity.In order to solve the difficulties of poor quality and low efficiency when drilling small holes,a novel femtosecond laser rotary drilling(FLRD)technique is proposed.Beam kinematic paths and experimental studies were carried out to analyze the effects of processing parameters on the drilling results in the two-step drilling process.In the through-hole drilling stage,the material removal rate increases with increasing laser power,decreasing feed speed and decreasing pitch.As for the finishing stage of drilling,the exit diameter increased with increasing laser power and decreasing feed speed.The drilling parameters were selected by taking the processing efficiency of through-hole and the quality of finished hole as the constraint criteria.Holes with a diameter of 500μm were drilled using FLRD in 3 mm thick SiC_(f)/SiC composites with a drilling time<150 s.The hole aspect ratio was 6,the taper<0.2°,and there was no significant thermal damage at the orifice or the wall of the hole.The FLRD provides a solution for precision machining of small holes in difficult-to-machine materials by offering the advantages of high processing quality and short drilling times.

文摘Increasing the hole expansion ratio is significant for developing high formability parts.Hole expansion tests were carried out on low carbon hot-rolled steel containing 0.11%Ti,0.072%Ti–0.03%Nb and 0.097%Ti–0.059%Nb,respectively.The effects of microstructure,texture,crack propagation behavior and second phase precipitation behavior on hole expansion ratio were investigated.The precipitation behavior of TiC and(Ti,Nb)C in austenite and ferrite in three groups of steel samples was calculated theoretically.The results showed that the hole expansion ratios of 0.11Ti,0.072Ti–0.03Nb and 0.097Ti–0.059Nb test steels were 51.73%,51.17%and 66.24%following simulated coiling at 600℃,respectively.The microstructure was mainly polygonal ferrite with a small amount of pearlite.The grain refinement of 0.097Ti–0.059Nb test steel and the low texture ratio of{110}//ND improved the hole expansion ratio.The low overall hole expansion ratio was due to the microstructure inhomogeneity.The microstructure uniformity was improved by the quenching and tempering treatment,and the hole expansion ratio of the three test steels was greatly increased.The fastest precipitation temperatures in the austenitic region of 0.11Ti,0.072Ti–0.03Nb and 0.097Ti–0.059Nb test steels were 880,860 and 830℃,while those in the ferrite region were 680,675 and 675℃,respectively.The addition of Nb element increased the volume free energy,so that the critical core size of the nucleation on the dislocation line increased,resulting in the decrease in the fastest precipitation temperature.

文摘Drains play an important role in seepage control in geotechnical engineering.The enormous number and one-dimensional(1D)geometry of drainage holes make their nature difficult to be accurately modeled in groundwater flow simulation.It has been well understood that drains function by presenting discharge boundaries,which can be characterized by water head,no-flux,unilateral or mixed water head-unilateral boundary condition.It has been found after years of practices that the flow simulation may become erroneous if the transitions among the drain boundary conditions are not properly considered.For this,a rigorous algorithm is proposed in this study to detect the onset of transitions among the water head,noflux and mixed water head-unilateral boundary conditions for downwards-drilled drainage holes,which theoretically completes the description of drain boundary conditions.After verification against a numerical example,the proposed algorithm is applied to numerical modeling of groundwater flow through a gravity dam foundation.The simulation shows that for hundreds of downwards-drilled drainage holes used to be prescribed with water head boundary condition,56%and 2%of them are transitioned to mixed water head-unilateral and no-flux boundary conditions,respectively.The phreatic surface around the drains will be overestimated by 25e33 m without the use of the mixed boundary condition.For the first time,this study underscores the importance of the mixed water head-unilateral boundary condition and the proposed transition algorithm in drain modeling,which may become more essential for simulation of transient flow because of groundwater dynamics.
文摘In this work,the influences of surface layer slurry at different temperatures(10℃,14℃,18℃,22℃)on wax patterns deformation,shrinkage,slurry coating characteristics,and the surface quality of the casting were investigated by using a single factor variable method.The surface morphologies of the shell molds produced by different temperatures of the surface(first)layer slurries were observed via electron microscopy.Furthermore,the microscopic composition of these shell molds was obtained by EDS,and the osmotic effect of the slurry on the wax patterns at different temperatures was also assessed by the PZ-200 Contact Angle detector.The forming reasons for the surface cracks and holes of thick and large ZTC4 titanium alloy by investment casting were analyzed.The experimental results show that the surface of the shell molds prepared by the surface layer slurry with a low temperature exhibits noticeable damage,which is mainly due to the poor coating performance and the serious expansion and contraction of wax pattern at low temperatures.The second layer shell material(SiO_(2),Al_(2)O_(3))immerses into the crack area of the surface layer,contacts and reacts with the molten titanium to form surface cracks and holes in the castings.With the increase of the temperature of surface layer slurry,the damage to the shell surface tends to weaken,and the composition of the shell molds'surface becomes more uniform with less impurities.The results show that the surface layer slurry at 22℃is evenly coated on the surface of the wax patterns with appropriate thickness,and there is no surface shell mold rupture caused by sliding slurry after sand leaching.The surface layer slurry temperature is consistent with the wax pattern temperature and the workshop temperature,so there is no damage of the surface layer shell caused by expansion and contraction.Therefore,the shell mold prepared by the surface layer slurry at this temperature has good integrity,isolating the contact between the low inert shell material and the titanium liquid effectively,and the ZTC4 titanium alloy cylinder casting prepared by this shell mold is smooth,without cracks and holes.

文摘Traditional p-type colloidal quantum dot(CQD)hole transport layers(HTLs)used in CQD solar cells(CQDSCs)are commonly based on organic ligands exchange and the layer-by-layer(LbL)technique.Nonetheless,the ligand detachment and complex fabrication process introduce surface defects,compromising device stability and efficiency.In this work,we propose a solution-phase ligand exchange(SPLE)method utilizing inorganic ligands to develop stable p-type lead sulfide(PbS)CQD inks for the first time.Various amounts of tin(Ⅱ)iodide(SnI_(2))were mixed with lead halide(PbX_(2);X=I,Br)in the ligand solution.By precisely controlling the SnI_(2)concentration,we regulate the transition of PbS QDs from n-type to p-type.PbS CQDSCs were fabricated using two different HTL approaches:one with 1,2-ethanedithiol(EDT)-passivated QDs via the LbL method(control)and another with inorganic ligand-passivated QD ink(target).The target devices achieved a higher power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 10.93%,compared to 9.83%for the control devices.This improvement is attributed to reduced interfacial defects and enhanced carrier mobility.The proposed technique offers an efficient pathway for producing stable p-type PbS CQD inks using inorganic ligands,paving the way for high-performance and flexible CQD-based optoelectronic devices.
