The advanced stochastic imperfection method is used to research the imperfection sensitive region of single-layer latticed domes. Taking a K6 single-layer latticed dome with a diameter of 50 m as an example, its imperfection sensitive region is made up of the first 12 kinds of joints. The influence of the imperfections of support joints on the stability of the K6 single-layer latticed dome is negligible. Influences of the joint imperfections of the main rib and the secondary rib on the structural stability are similar. The initial deviations of these joints all greatly lower the critical load of the dome. Results show that the method can analyze the structural imperfection sensitive region quantitatively and accurately.展开更多

The comparative grinding performance was studied in terms of grinding force, grinding temperature, grinding-induced surface features and defects. The results display that the grinding forces and grinding temperature obtained with the brazed CBN wheel are always lower than those with the electroplated CBN wheel. Though the voids and microcracks are the dominant grinding-induced surface defects, the brazed CBN wheel produces less surface defects compared to the electroplated wheel according to the statistical analysis results. The max mum materials removal rate with the brazed CBN wheel is much higher than that with the electroplated one. All above indicate that the single-layer brazed CBN super-abrasive wheel is more suitable for high-speed grinding of PTMCs than the electroplated counterpart.展开更多

Graphene sensors are assumed to be in simplysupported configuration. Based on the nonlocal plate the- ory which incorporates size effects into the classical theory, closed-form expressions lot the frequencies and relative fre- quency shills of SLGS-based mass sensor are derived using the Galerkin method. The suggested model is justified by a good agreement between the results given by the present model and available data in literature. The effects of tem- perature difference, nonlocal parameter, the location of the nanoparticle and the number of nanoparticles on the relative frequency shift of the mass sensor are also elucidated. The obtained results show that the sensitivity of the SLGS- based mass sensor increases with increasing temperature difference.展开更多

Unfortunately, current available CP lens antennas mostly suffer from high profile, low aperture efficiency as well as complex design. In this paper, we propose an ultra-thin CP lens antenna based on the designed single- layered Pancharatnam-Berry （PB） transparent metasurface with focusing property. The PB metasurface exhibits a high transmissivity, which ensures a high efficiency of the focusing property. Launched the metasurface with a CP patch antenna at its focal point, a low-profile lens antenna is simulated and measured. The experimental results show that our lens antenna exhibits a series of advantages including high radiation gain of 20.7 dB, aperture efficiency better than 41.3%, and also narrow half power beam width （HPBW） of 13°at about 14GHz. Our finding opens a door to realize ultra-thin transparent metasurface with other functionalities or at other working frequencies.展开更多

The criterion for bandgap opening at the Dirac point is analytically derived with a two-fold degeneracy second-order perturbation method. It is shown that a direct or an indirect bandgap semiconductor could be realized in a single-layer graphene under some specific configurations of the electric and magnetic field arrangement. Due to the bandgap generated in the single-layer graphene, the Klein tunneling observed in pristine graphene is completely suppressed.展开更多

In this case, some useful advices, concentrating on the problem above, are expected through a careful and comprehensive investigation of this paper. During the investigation, the authors first point out shortcomings of former researches. Then frequency-spectrum characteristics of single-layered reticulated domes were studied from the perspective of structural responses. During this process, some important results such as the existence of the main resonant section, and the fact that the relative sensitivity of these domes under horizontal and vertical impulse varies with the different R/S ratios were achieved. Furthermore, based on the study of frequency-spectrum characteristics, as well as that of earthquake input, reasonable numbers of mode truncation in single layered reticulated domes with different R/S ratio were presented. Results of case studies prove the mode truncation number proposed is valid.展开更多

The band structure and density of states（DOS） of single-layer In1-xGaxN are calculated, and the band gap ranges from 1.8 eV to 3.8 eV as the ratio x changes, illustrating the potential for the tunability of band gap values via Ga doped. We also have investigated optical properties of single-layer In1-xGaxN such as dielectric function, refractive index and absorption coefficient, the main peak of dielectric function spectrum and the absorption edge are found to have a remarkable blue-shift as the concentration of Ga increases. Furthermore, the optical properties of single-layer In1-xGaxN are analyzed based on the band structures and DOS analysis. Such unique optical properties have profound application in nanoelectronics and optical devices.展开更多

From the theory of the present paper it was known that difference of the asymptotic mean levels upstream and downsream at the subcritical cutoff points is just equal to a subcritical value of the AfKdV equation An experiment is carried out to examine the theoretical results. From comparison between theoreticaland experimental results, it was shown that they are in good agreement.At the same time, it should be pointed out that the theory of the present paper is agreement with the experimental and numerical results of Forbes and can be employed to find the generating properties of the precursor solitons at near-resonance.展开更多

The simulation results show that the competition effects of two interactions, i.e. the interaction between cluster and cluster and the interaction between cluster and crystal plane, are studied, and then the influence of these competition effects on C36 cluster deposition is analysed. The finding is that when an incident energy is appropriately chosen, C36 clusters can be chemically adsorbed and deposited steadily on the diamond surface in the form of single-layer, and in the deposition process the multi-C36 clusters present a phenomenon of energy transmission. The experimental result shows that at a temperature of 300K, in order to deposit C36 clusters into a steady nanostructured single-layered film, the optimal incident energy is between 10 and 18 eV, if the incident energy is larger than 18 eV, the C36 clusters will be deposited into an island nano-structured film.展开更多

文摘In anti-seismic calculation, the mode truncation is a significant problem to engineers if the mode-superposition response spectrum method is used, which has not been completely solved yet in some large and complex structures such as reticulated domes. In this case, some useful advices, concentrating on the problem above, are expected through a careful and comprehensive investigation of this paper. During the investigation, the authors first point out shortcomings of former researches. Then frequency-spectrum characteristics of single-layered reticulated domes were studied from the perspective of structural responses. During this process, some important results such as the existence of the main resonant section, and the fact that the relative sensitivity of these domes under horizontal and vertical impulse varies with the different R/S ratios were achieved. Furthermore, based on the study of frequency-spectrum characteristics, as well as that of earthquake input, reasonable numbers of mode truncation in single layered reticulated domes with different R/S ratio were presented. Results of case studies prove the mode truncation number proposed is valid.
文摘Single-layer superconductors[1]have been the subject of considerable interests as they are ideal systems for the fundamental understanding of two-dimensional(2D)physics and for device applications.A few singlelayer superconductors are experimentally achieved(e.g.,FeSe,MoS2,and NbSe2[2-4]in the field where either charge doping or tensile strain is often required to promote the superconductivity.

文摘Electronic structures and optical properties of single-layer In1-xGaxN are studied by employing Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerh（HSE） method based on the first-principles. The band structure and density of states（DOS） of single-layer In1-xGaxN are calculated, and the band gap ranges from 1.8 eV to 3.8 eV as the ratio x changes, illustrating the potential for the tunability of band gap values via Ga doped. We also have investigated optical properties of single-layer In1-xGaxN such as dielectric function, refractive index and absorption coefficient, the main peak of dielectric function spectrum and the absorption edge are found to have a remarkable blue-shift as the concentration of Ga increases. Furthermore, the optical properties of single-layer In1-xGaxN are analyzed based on the band structures and DOS analysis. Such unique optical properties have profound application in nanoelectronics and optical devices.
文摘Hydraulic falls of single-layer now are determined theoretically in terms of a time-dependent averaged fKdV equation(AfKdV equation)in phase coordinate. From the theory of the present paper it was known that difference of the asymptotic mean levels upstream and downsream at the subcritical cutoff points is just equal to a subcritical value of the AfKdV equation An experiment is carried out to examine the theoretical results. From comparison between theoreticaland experimental results, it was shown that they are in good agreement.At the same time, it should be pointed out that the theory of the present paper is agreement with the experimental and numerical results of Forbes and can be employed to find the generating properties of the precursor solitons at near-resonance.

文摘The Brenner-LJ potential is adopted to describe the interaction between C36 clusters and diamond surface, and the deposition mechanism of multi-C36 clusters on the diamond surface is also studied by using the method of molecular dynamics simulation. The simulation results show that the competition effects of two interactions, i.e. the interaction between cluster and cluster and the interaction between cluster and crystal plane, are studied, and then the influence of these competition effects on C36 cluster deposition is analysed. The finding is that when an incident energy is appropriately chosen, C36 clusters can be chemically adsorbed and deposited steadily on the diamond surface in the form of single-layer, and in the deposition process the multi-C36 clusters present a phenomenon of energy transmission. The experimental result shows that at a temperature of 300K, in order to deposit C36 clusters into a steady nanostructured single-layered film, the optimal incident energy is between 10 and 18 eV, if the incident energy is larger than 18 eV, the C36 clusters will be deposited into an island nano-structured film.

文摘We theoretically provide a magnetic phase diagram for the single-layer(SL)CrBr_(3),which could be effectively tuned by both strain engineering and charge doping in SL-CrBr_(3).Through systematical first-principles calculations and Heisenberg model Hamiltonian simulations,three different magnetic phases in SL-CrBr_(3),which are off-plane ferromagnetic,in-plane ferromagnetic and in-plane Neél-antiferromagnetic phases,are found in the strain and charge doping regimes we studied.Furthermore,our results show that higher order Heisenberg exchange parameters and anisotropy exchange parameters should be taken into account for accurately illustrating the magnetic phase transition in SL-CrBr_(3).As a result,we find from the SpinW simulation that the Curie temperature is about T_(c)=38.4 K,which is well consistent with the experimental result 34 K[Nano Lett.193138(2019)].The findings here may be confirmed in future experiments,and may be useful for the potential applications of SL-CrBr_(3)in spintronics field.

文摘Free vibration of elastically constrained rectangular single-layered M0S_(2)is investigated by using a nonlocal Kirchhoff plate model with an initial stress.The variationally consistent elastically constrained boundary conditions are obtained by using the weighted residual method,while the governing equations of the nonlocal Kirchhoff plate model are known.A modified Fourier series method is applied to study the vibrational behaviors of elastically constrained nonlocal Kirchhoff plate models.The convergence and reliability of the modified Fourier series method is verified via comparison with the finite element method.A comprehensive parametric study is performed to show the influences of the boundary elastic constant,nonlocal parameter and initial stress on the vibrational behaviors of single-layered M0S2.The results should be good for the design of nanoresonators.
