The Pasternak-type foundation is used to simulate the interaction between the nanoplates and the elastic medium. The exact solutions of the nonlocal vibration frequency and buckling critical load of the 2 D decagonal QC layered nanoplates are obtained by solving the eigensystem and using the propagator matrix method. The present three-dimensional(3 D) exact solution can predict correctly the nature frequencies and critical loads of the nanoplates as compared with previous thin-plate and medium-thick-plate theories.Numerical examples are provided to display the effects of the quasiperiodic direction,length-to-width ratio, thickness of the nanoplates, nonlocal parameter, stacking sequence,and medium elasticity on the vibration frequency and critical buckling load of the 2 D decagonal QC nanoplates. The results show that the effects of the quasiperiodic direction on the vibration frequency and critical buckling load depend on the length-to-width ratio of the nanoplates. The thickness of the nanoplate and the elasticity of the surrounding medium can be adjusted for optimal frequency and critical buckling load of the nanoplate.This feature is useful since the frequency and critical buckling load of the 2 D decagonal QCs as coating materials of plate structures can now be tuned as one desire.展开更多

These materials have based on two representative two-dimensional （2D） materials, drastically different properties and require different consider- ations. The unique band structure of graphene necessitates engineering of the Dirac point, including the opening of the bandgap, the doping and the interface, before the graphene can be used in logic applications. On the other hand, MoS2 is a semiconductor, and its electron transport depends heavily on the surface properties, the number of layers, and the carrier density. Finally, we discuss the prospects for the future developments in 2D material transistors.展开更多

The true stress-true strain curves of DP steel sheets for different loading ratios were obtained, and the experimental yield loci were determined based on the equivalent plastic work principle. The experimental yield loci were compared to the theoretical yield loci based on Hi1148, Hi1190, Hi1193, Hosford, Barlat89, Yld2000-2d and Gotoh yield criteria. It is found that Yld2000-2d yield criterion can describe the general trends of experimental yield loci of DP steel sheets with comparably higher accuracy. Hosford criterion has the maximum error for DP590, whereas Hi1148 and Barlat89 have the maximum errors for DP780 and DP980.展开更多

文摘A mathematical model for nonlocal vibration and buckling of embedded two-dimensional(2 D) decagonal quasicrystal(QC) layered nanoplates is proposed. The Pasternak-type foundation is used to simulate the interaction between the nanoplates and the elastic medium. The exact solutions of the nonlocal vibration frequency and buckling critical load of the 2 D decagonal QC layered nanoplates are obtained by solving the eigensystem and using the propagator matrix method. The present three-dimensional(3 D) exact solution can predict correctly the nature frequencies and critical loads of the nanoplates as compared with previous thin-plate and medium-thick-plate theories.Numerical examples are provided to display the effects of the quasiperiodic direction,length-to-width ratio, thickness of the nanoplates, nonlocal parameter, stacking sequence,and medium elasticity on the vibration frequency and critical buckling load of the 2 D decagonal QC nanoplates. The results show that the effects of the quasiperiodic direction on the vibration frequency and critical buckling load depend on the length-to-width ratio of the nanoplates. The thickness of the nanoplate and the elasticity of the surrounding medium can be adjusted for optimal frequency and critical buckling load of the nanoplate.This feature is useful since the frequency and critical buckling load of the 2 D decagonal QCs as coating materials of plate structures can now be tuned as one desire.

文摘With the discovery of graphene,black phosphorus(BP)has been rediscovered as a two-dimensional(2 D)layered material.Since its first preparation in 2014,2 D BP has elicited immense interest,and has exhibited excellent properties,such as distinct pleated structures in layers,adjustable direct bandgap,high carrier mobility,moderate on/off ratio,large specific surface area,and various interesting in-layer anisotropies.However,the realization of these excellent properties depends on the preparation of highquality 2 D BP sheets.Electrochemical exfoliation methods are typically performed under mild conditions,thus,these methods are convenient,controllable,and can produce high-quality 2 D BP sheets.This review summarizes research progress in BP sheets preparation through anodic,cathodic,and electrolyte exfoliation in recent years.Different exfoliating methods affect the quality of 2 D BP sheets.Moreover,possible exfoliating mechanisms and the potential applications of different exfoliating methods are summarized and discussed in detail.Lastly,the shortcomings of existing research on electrochemical exfoliation are presented,and suggestions and prospects for future research on the electrochemical exfoliation of 2 D BP are proposed.

文摘With the development of the Internet,image encryption technology has become critical for network security.Traditional methods often suffer from issues such as insufficient chaos,low randomness in key generation,and poor encryption efficiency.To enhance performance,this paper proposes a new encryption algorithm designed to optimize parallel processing and adapt to images of varying sizes and colors.The method begins by using SHA-384 to extract the hash value of the plaintext image,which is then processed to determine the chaotic system’s initial value and block size.The image is padded and divided into blocks for further processing.A novel two-dimensional infinite collapses hyperchaotic map(2DICHM)is employed to generate the intra-block scrambling sequence,while an improved variable Joseph traversal sequence is used for inter-block scrambling.After removing the padding,3D forward and backward shift diffusions,controlled by the 2D-ICHM sequences,are applied to the scrambled image,producing the ciphertext.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms others in terms of entropy,anti-noise resilience,correlation coefficient,robustness,and encryption efficiency.

文摘Field-effect transistors （FETs） for logic applications, graphene and MoS2, are discussed. These materials have based on two representative two-dimensional （2D） materials, drastically different properties and require different consider- ations. The unique band structure of graphene necessitates engineering of the Dirac point, including the opening of the bandgap, the doping and the interface, before the graphene can be used in logic applications. On the other hand, MoS2 is a semiconductor, and its electron transport depends heavily on the surface properties, the number of layers, and the carrier density. Finally, we discuss the prospects for the future developments in 2D material transistors.

文摘Research on two-dimensional(2D)materials is one of the most active fields in materials science and nanotechnology.Among the members of the 2D family,layered hydroxides(LHs)represent an exceptional case of study due to their unparalleled chemical versatility which allows the modulation of their physicochemical properties at will.Nowadays,LHs based on earth-abundant metals are key materials in the areas of energy storage and conversion,hybrid materials or magnetism.α-Co hydroxides(Simonkolleite-like structures)are promising phases with tuneable electronic and magnetic properties by ligand modification.However,even in the simple case ofα-Co^(Ⅱ)hydroxychlorides,the preparation of well-defined large 2D crystals is not straightforward,hindering the development of fundamental studies.Herein,we present the synthesis of 2D hexagonal crystals with outstanding sizethickness relationship(diameter>5μm and thickness of 20±7 nm)by a simple homogeneous synthesis taking place at room temperature.In structural terms,no differences are observed between our layered materials and those obtained hydrothermally.However,dynamic susceptibility measurements alert about different arrangements of the magnetic sublattices,which have been rationalized with structural DFT calculations.This work provides an extremely easy bottom-up method to obtain high-quality 2D crystals based onα-CoIIhydroxides,paving the way for the development of fundamental studies and applications.

文摘We review experimental and theoretical results on thermal transport in semiconductor nanostructures（multilayer thin films, core/shell and segmented nanowires）, single-and few-layer graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, and black phosphorus. Different possibilities of phonon engineering for optimization of electrical and heat conductions are discussed. The role of the phonon energy spectra modification on the thermal conductivity in semiconductor nanostructures is revealed. The dependence of thermal conductivity in graphene and related two-dimensional（2 D） materials on temperature, flake size, defect concentration, edge roughness, and strain is analyzed.

文摘Synthetic two-dimensional（2 D） polymers have totally different topology structures compared with traditional linear or branched polymers. The peculiar 2 D structures bring superior properties. Although, from linear to 2 D polymers, the study of these new materials is still in its infancy, they already show potential applications especially in optoelectronics, membranes, energy storage and catalysis, etc. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of the 2 D materials from three respects：（1） Chemistry—different types of polymerization reactions or supramolecular assembly to construct the 2 D networks were described;（2） Preparation methods—surface science, crystal engineering approaches and solution synthesis were introduced;（3） Functionalization and some early applications.

文摘The biaxial tensile tests were carried out to investigate the deformation behavior and yield loci of dual-phase （DP） steel sheets under biaxial tensile conditions. The true stress-true strain curves of DP steel sheets for different loading ratios were obtained, and the experimental yield loci were determined based on the equivalent plastic work principle. The experimental yield loci were compared to the theoretical yield loci based on Hi1148, Hi1190, Hi1193, Hosford, Barlat89, Yld2000-2d and Gotoh yield criteria. It is found that Yld2000-2d yield criterion can describe the general trends of experimental yield loci of DP steel sheets with comparably higher accuracy. Hosford criterion has the maximum error for DP590, whereas Hi1148 and Barlat89 have the maximum errors for DP780 and DP980.

文摘The interface crack problems in the two-dimensional(2D)decagonal quasicrystal(QC)coating are theoretically and numerically investigated with a displacement discontinuity method.The 2D general solution is obtained based on the potential theory.An analogy method is proposed based on the relationship between the general solutions for 2D decagonal and one-dimensional(1D)hexagonal QCs.According to the analogy method,the fundamental solutions of concentrated point phonon displacement discontinuities are obtained on the interface.By using the superposition principle,the hypersingular boundary integral-differential equations in terms of displacement discontinuities are determined for a line interface crack.Further,Green’s functions are found for uniform displacement discontinuities on a line element.The oscillatory singularity near a crack tip is eliminated by adopting the Gaussian distribution to approximate the delta function.The stress intensity factors(SIFs)with ordinary singularity and the energy release rate(ERR)are derived.Finally,a boundary element method is put forward to investigate the effects of different factors on the fracture.

文摘Ultrathin van der Waals(vdW)magnets provide a possibility to access magnetic ordering in the two-dimensional(2D)limit,which are expected to be applied in the spintronic devices.Raman spectroscopy is a powerful characterization method to investigate the spin-related properties in 2D vdW magnets,including magnon and spin–lattice interaction,which are hardly accessible by other optical methods.In this paper,the recent progress of various magnetic properties in 2D vdW magnets studied by Raman spectroscopy is reviewed,including the magnetic transition,spin-wave,spin–lattice interaction,symmetry tuning induced by spin ordering,and nonreciprocal magneto-phonon Raman scattering.
