Comparison of transport coefficients before and after density pump-out induced by resonant magnetic perturbation using a BOUT++ six-field model on the EAST tokamak

Many experiments have demonstrated that resonant magnetic perturbation(RMP) can affect the turbulent transport at the edge of the tokamak. Through the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST) density modulation experiment, the particle transport coefficients were calculated using the experimental data, and the result shows that the particle transport coefficients increase with RMP. In this study, the six-field two-fluid model in BOUT++ is used to simulate the transport before and after density pump-out induced by RMP,respectively referred as the case without RMP and the case with RMP. In the linear simulations,the instabilities generally decreases for cases with RMP. In the nonlinear simulation, ELM only appears in the case without RMP. Additionally, the particle transport coefficient was analyzed,and the result shows that the particle transport coefficient becomes larger for the case with RMP,which is consistent with the experimental conclusion. Moreover, its magnitude is comparable to the results calculated from experimental data.

Effects of microstructure characteristics on the tensile properties and fracture toughness of TA15 alloy fabricated by hot isostatic pressing

Powder hot isostatic pressing(HIP) is an effective method to achieve near-net-shape manufacturing of high-quality complex thinwalled titanium alloy parts, and it has received extensive attention in recent years. However, there are few reports about the microstructure characteristics on the strengthening and toughening mechanisms of powder hot isostatic pressed(HIPed) titanium alloys. Therefore, TA15powder was prepared into alloy by HIP approach, which was used to explore the microstructure characteristics at different HIP temperatures and the corresponding tensile properties and fracture toughness. Results show that the fabricated alloy has a “basket-like structure” when the HIP temperature is below 950℃, consisting of lath clusters and surrounding small equiaxed grains belts. When the HIP temperature is higher than 950℃, the microstructure gradually transforms into the Widmanstatten structure, accompanied by a significant increase in grain size. The tensile strength and elongation are reduced from 948 MPa and 17.3% for the 910℃ specimen to 861 MPa and 10% for the 970℃ specimen.The corresponding tensile fracture mode changes from transcrystalline plastic fracture to mixed fracture including intercrystalline cleavage.The fracture toughness of the specimens increases from 82.64 MPa·m^(1/2)for the 910℃ specimen to 140.18 MPa·m^(1/2)for the 970℃ specimen.Specimens below 950℃ tend to form holes due to the prior particle boundaries(PPBs), which is not conducive to toughening. Specimens above 950℃ have high fracture toughness due to the crack deflection, crack branching, and shear plastic deformation of the Widmanstatten structure. This study provides a valid reference for the development of powder HIPed titanium alloy.

Observer-Based Adaptive Fuzzy Tracking Control Using Integral Barrier Lyapunov Functionals for A Nonlinear System With Full State Constraints

A new fuzzy adaptive control method is proposed for a class of strict feedback nonlinear systems with immeasurable states and full constraints.The fuzzy logic system is used to design the approximator,which deals with uncertain and continuous functions in the process of backstepping design.The use of an integral barrier Lyapunov function not only ensures that all states are within the bounds of the constraint,but also mixes the states and errors to directly constrain the state,reducing the conservativeness of the constraint satisfaction condition.Considering that the states in most nonlinear systems are immeasurable,a fuzzy adaptive states observer is constructed to estimate the unknown states.Combined with adaptive backstepping technique,an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control method is proposed.The proposed control method ensures that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded,and that the tracking error converges to a bounded tight set without violating the full state constraint.The simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Cavity-induced ATS effect on a superconducting Xmon qubit

We couple a ladder-type three-level superconducting artificial atom to a cavity. Adjusting the artificial atom to make the cavity be resonant with the two upper levels, we then probe the lower two levels of the artificial atom. When driving the cavity to a coherent state, the probe spectrum shows energy level splitting induced by the quantized electromagnetic field in the cavity. This splitting size is related to the coupling strength between the cavity and the artificial atom and, thus, is fixed after the sample is fabricated. This is in contrast to the classical Autler-Townes splitting of a three-level system in which the splitting is proportional to the driving amplitude, which can be continuously changed. Our experiment results show the difference between the classical microwave driving field and the quantum field of the cavity.

Effects of short-range attraction on Jamming transition

Enormous progresses to understand the jamming transition have been driven via simulating purely repulsive particles which were somehow idealized in the past two decades. While the attractive systems are both theoretical and practical compared with repulsive systems. By studying the statistics of rigid clusters, we find that the critical packing fraction φ_(c) varies linearly with attraction μ for different system sizes when the range of attraction is short. While for systems with long-range attractions, however, the slope of φ_(c) appears significantly different, which means that there are two distinct jamming scenarios. In this paper, we focus our main attention on short-range attractions scenario and define a new quantity named "short-range attraction susceptibility" χ_(p), which describes the degree of response of the probability of finding jammed states pjto short-range attraction strength μ. Our central results are that χ_(p) diverges in the thermodynamic limit as χ_(p) ∝|φ-φ_(c)^(∞)|^(-γ_(p)), where φ_(c)^(∞) is the packing fraction at the jamming transition for the infinite system in the absence of attraction. χ_(p) obeys scaling collapse with a scaling function in both two and three dimensions, illuminating that the jamming transition can be considered as a phase transition as proposed in previous work.

Carboxy Cellulose as Cathode Interfacial Layer for Efficient Organic Solar Cells

Green, biodegradable, and eco-friendly interface materials based on cellulose and its derivatives were prepared for organic solar cells(OSCs). In this work, calcium and two derivatives of cellulose with different carboxy acid groups, denoted as Cellulose-COOH and Cellulose-(COOH)n, were used as cathode interfacial layers of OSCs, and a blend of the low-band-gap semiconducting polymers thieno[3, 4-b]thiophene/benzodithiophene(PTB7)and [6, 6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester(PC71BM) was chosen as the photoactive layer. OSCs were fabricated with a configuration of indiumdoped tin oxide(ITO)/poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : polystyrene sulfonate(PEDOT: PSS)/PTB7: PC71BM/Ca or Cellulose-COOH or Cellulose-(COOH)n/Al. As a result, the effect of cellulose-COOH was the best one among them, and the power conversion efficiency(PCE) reached 8.21%for the devices with cathode interfacial layer of Cellulose-COOH, which was better than that of OSCs using calcium as a modifier(PCE=7.95%). The favorable performance is attributed to the reduced work function and improved electron transfer caused by the introduction of carboxy cellulose between the active layer and the electrode. The developed technology shows great potential in accelerating the diversified applications of cellulose and producing cost-effective and eco-friendly interfaces for OSCs.

Complementarity via Minimum Error Measurement in a Two-Path Interferometer

We study the fringe visibility and the which-path information(WPI) of a general Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an asymmetric beam splitter(BS). A minimum error measurement in the detector is used to extract the WPI. Both the fringe visibility V and the WPI I_(path) are affected by the initial state of the photon and the second asymmetric BS. The condition in which the WPI takes the maximum is obtained. The complementarity relationship V^2 + I_(path)~2 ≤ 1 is found, and the conditions for equality are also presented.

Fringe visibility and distinguishability in two-path interferometer with an asymmetric beam splitter

We study the fringe visibility and the distinguishability of a general Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an asymmetric beam splitter. Both the fringe visibility V and the distinguishability D are affected by the input state of the particle characterized by the Bloch vector S =(S_x, S_y, S_z) and the second asymmetric beam splitter characterized by the paramterβ. For the total system is initially in a pure state, it is found that the fringe visibility reaches the upper bound and the distinguishability reaches the lower bound when cosβ=-S_x, The fringe visibility obtain the maximum only if S_x = 0 and β = π/2 when the input particle is initially in a mixed state. The complementary relationship V^2 +D^2 ≤ 1 is proved in a general Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an asymmetric beam splitter, and the conditions for the equality are also presented.

Graph dynamical networks for forecasting collective behavior of active matter

After decades of theoretical studies,the rich phase states of active matter and cluster kinetic processes are still of research interest.How to efficiently calculate the dynamical processes under their complex conditions becomes an open problem.Recently,machine learning methods have been proposed to predict the degree of coherence of active matter systems.In this way,the phase transition process of the system is quantified and studied.In this paper,we use graph network as a powerful model to determine the evolution of active matter with variable individual velocities solely based on the initial position and state of the particles.The graph network accurately predicts the order parameters of the system in different scale models with different individual velocities,noise and density to effectively evaluate the effect of diverse condition.Compared with the classical physical deduction method,we demonstrate that graph network prediction is excellent,which could save significantly computing resources and time.In addition to active matter,our method can be applied widely to other large-scale physical systems.

Infrared light-emitting diodes based on colloidal Pb Se/Pb S core/shell nanocrystals

Colloidal Pb Se nanocrystals(NCs)have gained considerable attention due to their efficient carrier multiplication and emissions across near-infrared and short-wavelength infrared spectral ranges.However,the fast degradation of colloidal Pb Se NCs in ambient conditions hampers their widespread applications in infrared optoelectronics.It is well-known that the inorganic thick-shell over core improves the stability of NCs.Here,we present the synthesis of Pb Se/Pb S core/shell NCs showing wide spectral tunability,in which the molar ratio of lead(Pb)and sulfur(S)precursors,and the concentration of sulfur and Pb Se NCs in solvent have a significant effect on the efficient Pb S shell growth.The infrared light-emitting diodes(IR-LEDs)fabricated with the Pb Se/Pb S core/shell NCs exhibit an external quantum efficiency(EQE)of 1.3%at 1280 nm.The ligand exchange to optimize the distance between NCs and chloride treatment are important processes for achieving high performance on Pb Se/Pb S NC-LEDs.Our results provide evidence for the promising potential of Pb Se/Pb S NCs over the wide range of infrared optoelectronic applications.

3D Multilayered Turtle Shell Models for Image Steganography

By embedding secret data into cover images,image steganography can produce non-discriminable stego-images.The turtle shell model for data hiding is an excellent method that uses a reference matrix to make a good balance between image quality and embedding capacity.However,increasing the embedding capacity by extending the area of basic structures of the turtle shell model usually leads to severe degradation of image quality.In this research,we innovatively extend the basic structure of the turtle shell model into a three-dimensional(3D)space.Some intrinsic properties of the original turtle shell model are well preserved in the 3D version.Theoretic analysis shows that the new proposed models have good performance both in the image quality and in the complexity of the reference matrix.Our experimental results justify the theoretic conclusions.

A Mathematical Model of Heat Transfer in Problems of Pipeline Plugging Agent Freezing Induced by Liquid Nitrogen

A mathematical model for one-dimensional heat transfer in pipelines undergoing freezing induced by liquid nitrogen is elaborated.The basic premise of this technology is that the content within a pipeline is frozen to form a plug or two plugs at a position upstream and downstream from a location where work a modification or a repair must be executed.Based on the variable separation method,the present model aims to solve the related coupled heat conduction and moving-boundary phase change problem.An experiment with a 219 mm long pipe,where water was taken as the plugging agent,is presented to demonstrate the relevance and reliability of the proposed model(results show that the error is within 18%).Thereafter,the model is applied to predict the cooling and freezing process of pipelines with different inner diameters at different liquid nitrogen refrigeration temperatures when water is used as the plugging agent.

CFD-Based Numerical Simulation of Water Film Flash Evaporation with a New Flash Evaporation Model

In this study, a new mass model involving superheat, initial temperature, liquid height, evaporator diameter, and flashing time is established to describe the flash evaporation process of water film. Of 469 sets of flash experimental data from three previous researches, 305 sets were applied to optimize parameters, and the other 164 sets were used to verify the practicability of the model. The results showed that the mean relative error between the literature data and the model values was less than 16.3%, and the model statistics proved that the model was well-posed. Then, the kinetic model was obtained using the time derivative of the new mass model. Computational fluid dynamics simulation of water film flash evaporation was studied based on a user-defined function program of the new evaporation kinetic model. The new kinetic model shows more consistency with the experimental phenomena in terms of evaporated mass and temperature compared with the evaporation–condensation model in Fluent software and Gopalakrishna's model. This new kinetic model can be extended to describe the flash process of water solution under other conditions.

Study on Social Service Transformation of New Established Undergraduate Institutions in China: Based on Text Analysis on News on Official Website

The transformation of social services is one of the key tasks for the undergraduate university changing to be an applied university. This article made a text analysis on the news about social service from the column of "university events”. It shows that the social service of newly-building undergraduate university has distinctive features and has an orientation of "localness, application, openness”, which is a natural advantage. It also has the following problems: too many plans lacking systematicness, core competence and sense of participation, lower service level, out-of-date philosophy and so on. It is suggested that newly-building undergraduate university make an inner-driven transformation, with direct and active service to others.
