The resonance peak voltage is linearly dependent on the [110] and [1^-0] stresses and the linear sensitivities are up to 0.69 mV/MPa, -0.69 mV/MPa respectively. For the pressure sensor, the linear sensitivity is up to 0.37 mV/kPa.展开更多

The scattering from confined phonon modes, interface phonon modes and half-space phonon modes are analysed and the dominant scattering mechanisms in wide and narrow QWs are presented. The temperature dependence of the electronic mobility is also studied in the temperature range of optical phonon scattering being available. It is shown that the electronic mobility reduces obviously as pressure increases from 0 to 4GPa, the confined longitudinal optical （LO） phonon modes play an important role in wide QWs, whereas the interface optical phonon modes are dominant in narrow QWs, the half-space LO phonon modes hardly influence the electronic mobility expect for very narrow QWs.展开更多

So it is important to know the grain regression taken place in the solid propellant rocket motor in the acceleration field. This study represents the grain regression analysis of two-dimensional axis-symmetric star grain configuration of the solid propellant rocket motor with spin induced acceleration effect and pressure effect on burn rate using geometrical and numerical analysis. While the rocket is spinning, the burn rates on each point of the propellant surface are different with its radial distance, acceleration vector angle and surface slope. With the different burn rates on the propellant surface, we analyze the propellant surface perimeter and port area, and these results are compared with those of constant burn rate and burn rate affected by the chamber pressure.展开更多

The mode of crystallization and products of crystallization of the Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk glass were quite different under different pressure. At ambient pressure, the crystallization products consisted of NiZr2 and CuZr2, while at pressure of 1 GPa and 3 GPa, the alloys crystallized into NiZr2 and Cu10Zr7, respectively. The alloy was nearly not crystallized and only a small amount of Cu10Zr7 was precipitated under 5 GPa. DSC proved that the mode of the crystallization under high pressure was different from that at ambient pressure.展开更多

It has been demonstrated that how the influence of confining pressure on the deformation behavior and AE characteristics in rocks can be inferred from a simple mechanics model. The results show that loading confining pressure sharply brings out increasing of AE. On the other hand, few AE emits when confining pressure is loaded sharply, and AE occurs again when axial pressure keeps on increasing. These results have been well simulated with computer and show close correspondence with directly measured curves in experiments.展开更多

A triangular potential approximation is adopted to simplify the potential of the conduction band bending in the channel side and the electronic penetrating into the barrier is considered by a finite interface potential in the adopted model. The numerical results with and without strain effect are compared and analysed. Meanwhile, the properties of electronic mobility under pressure versus temperature, Cd concentration and electronic density are also given and discussed, respectively. It shows that the strain effect lowers the mobility of electrons while the hydrostatic pressure effect is more obvious to decrease the mobility. The contribution induced by the longitudinal optical phonons in the channel side is dominant to decide the mobility. Compared with the intrasubband scattering it finds that the effect of intersubband scattering is also important for the studied material.展开更多

Based on the density-functional theory, the pressure effects on the structural and elastic properties of CaB6 are obtained. The calculated bulk, shear, and Young’s moduli of the recently synthesized high pressure phase tI56-CaB6 are larger than those of the low pressure phase. Moreover, the high pressure phase of CaB6 has ductile behaviors, and its ductility increases with the increase of pressure. On the contrary, the calculated results indicate that the low pressure phase of CaB6 is brittle. The calculated Debye temperature indicates that the thermal conductivity of CaB6 is not very good. Furthermore, based on the Christoffel equation, the slowness surface of the acoustic waves is obtained.展开更多

The mode of crystallization and products of crystallization of the Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 bulk glass were quite different under different pressure. At ambient pressure, the crystallization products consisted of NiZr2 and CuZr2, while at pressure of 1 GPa and 3 GPa, the alloys crystallized into NiZr2 and Cu10Zr7, respectively. The alloy was nearly not crystallized and only a small amount of Cu10Zr7 was precipitated under 5 GPa. DSC proved that the mode of the crystallization under high pressure was different from that at ambient pressure.

Both of the cosolvents can accelerate the decomposition rate, and the effect of methanol is more significant than that of the cyclohexane.
文摘Under high pressure, the long believed single-phase material CaB6 was latterly discovered to have a new phase tI56. Based on the density-functional theory, the pressure effects on the structural and elastic properties of CaB6 are obtained. The calculated bulk, shear, and Young’s moduli of the recently synthesized high pressure phase tI56-CaB6 are larger than those of the low pressure phase. Moreover, the high pressure phase of CaB6 has ductile behaviors, and its ductility increases with the increase of pressure. On the contrary, the calculated results indicate that the low pressure phase of CaB6 is brittle. The calculated Debye temperature indicates that the thermal conductivity of CaB6 is not very good. Furthermore, based on the Christoffel equation, the slowness surface of the acoustic waves is obtained.

文摘Pressure is one of the necessary conditions for diamond growth.Exploring the influence of pressure on growth changes in silicon-doped diamonds is of great value for the production of high-quality diamonds.This work reports the morphology,impurity content and crystal quality characteristics of silicon-doped diamond crystals synthesized under different pressures.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy shows that with the increase of pressure,the nitrogen content in the C-center inside the diamond crystal decreases.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy test results show the presence of silicon in the diamond crystals synthesized by adding silicon powder.Raman spectroscopy data shows that the increase in pressure in the Fe-Ni-C-Si system shifts the Raman peak of diamonds from 1331.18 cm^(-1)to 1331.25 cm^(-1),resulting in a decrease in internal stress in the crystal.The half-peak width decreased from 5.41 cm^(-1)to 5.26 cm^(-1),and the crystallinity of the silicon-doped diamond crystals improved,resulting in improved quality.This work provides valuable data that can provide a reference for the synthesis of high-quality silicon-doped diamonds.
文摘Studies show that the dynamic properties of rockfill are strongly dependent on the confining pressure.Therefore,confining pressure effect has become a very important factor in the seismic analysis of high rockfill dam.The relationships of dynamic shear modulus versus dynamic shear strain and damping ratio versus dynamic shear strain had been improved to a certain degree on the basic of widely used Hardin-Drnevich constitutive model in this paper.Then a new model that could consider confining pressure effect has been established.Regression analysis was carried out of the dynamic triaxial experimental data of the damming materials in the Changheba hydropower station of Sichun Province,China.The results show that,the new model can fit the test data well under various confining pressures.A corresponding computational procedure was compiled and applied in the dynamic response analysis of the Changheba Dam.Comparing the calculation results between the new constitutive model and the ordinary Hardin-Drnevich model,it can be seen that the result is conservative to some extent without considering confining pressure effect.

文摘Various strategies for thermoelectric material optimization have been widely studied and used for promoting electrical transport and suppressing thermal transport.As a nontraditional method,pressure has shown great potential,as it has been applied to obtain a high thermoelectric figure of merit,but the microscopic mechanisms involved have yet to be fully explored.In this study,we focus on r-GeTe,a lowtemperature phase of GeTe,and investigate the pressure effects on the electronic structure,electrical transport properties and anharmonic lattice dynamics based on density functional theory(DFT),the Boltzmann transport equations(BTEs)and perturbation theory.Electronic relaxation times are obtained based on the electron-phonon interaction and the constant relaxation time approximation.The corresponding electrical transport properties are compared with those obtained from previous experiments.Hydrostatic pressure is shown to increase valley degeneracy,decrease the band effective mass and enhance the electrical transport property.At the same time,the increase in the low-frequency phonon lifetime and phonon group velocity leads to an increase in lattice thermal conductivity under pressure.This study provides insight into r-GeTe under hydrostatic pressure and paves the way for a high-pressure strategy to optimize transport properties.
