Review on charging model of sand particles due to collisions

In this paper, the models describing the charge transfer between two sand particles due to collisions are reviewed. By comparing the experimental results and the calculated results by the models carried on an individual particle due to a single collision, it indicates the Mosaic model is more reasonable to describe the collision charging mechanism. The Mosaic model cannot only describe the dependence of the collision charges on the relative collision speed and the particle size, but also reveal the relationship between the collision charges with the environmental temperature, the relative humidity and the material parameters, e.g., the absorption energy. Based on the Mosaic model, the model to describe the charges transfer due to multiple collisions is also developed, which can be used to calculate the charges carried by sand particles due to multiple collisions in the wind blown sand flux.

Controlling factors on the charging process of oil and gas in the eastern main sub-sag of the Baiyun Sag,Zhujiang River(Pearl River)Mouth Basin

The eastern main sub-sag(E-MSS)of the Baiyun Sag was the main zone for gas exploration in the deep-water area of the Zhujiang River(Pearl River)Mouth Basin at its early exploration stage,but the main goal of searching gas in this area was broken through by the successful exploration of the W3-2 and H34B volatile oil reservoirs,which provides a new insight for exploration of the Paleogene oil reservoirs in the E-MSS.Nevertheless,it is not clear on the distribution of“gas accumulated in the upper layer,oil accumulated in the lower layer”(Gas_(upper)-Oil_(lower))under the high heat flow,different source-rock beds,multi-stages of oil and gas charge,and multi-fluid phases,and not yet a definite understanding of the genetic relationship and formation mechanism among volatile oil,light oil and condensate gas reservoirs,and the migration and sequential charge model of oil and gas.These puzzles directly lead to the lack of a clear direction for oil exploration and drilling zone in this area.In this work,the PVT fluid phase,the origin of crude oil and condensate,the secondary alteration of oil and gas reservoirs,the evolution sequence of oil and gas formation,the phase state of oil and gas migration,and the configuration of fault activity were analyzed,which established the migration and accumulation model of Gas_(upper)-Oil_(lower)cocontrolled by source and heat,and fractionation controlled by facies in the E-MSS.Meanwhile,the fractionation evolution model among common black reservoirs,volatile reservoirs,condensate reservoirs and gas reservoirs is discussed,which proposed that the distribution pattern of Gas_(upper)-Oil_(lower)in the E-MSS is controlled by the generation attribute of oil and gas from source rocks,the difference of thermal evolution,and the fractionation controlled by phases after mixing the oil and gas.Overall,we suggest that residual oil reservoirs should be found in the lower strata of the discovered gas reservoirs in the oil-source fault and diapir-developed areas,while volatile oil reservoirs should be found in the deeper strata near the sag with no oil-source fault area.

Ferroelectric effect and equivalent polarization charge model of PbZr_(0.2)Ti_(0.8)O_(3)on AlGaN/GaN MIS-HEMT

PbZr_(0.2)Ti_(0.8)O_(3)(PZT)gate insulator with the thickness of 30 nm is grown by pulsed laser deposition(PLD)in AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors(MIS-HEMTs).The ferroelectric effect of PZT AlGaN/GaN MIS-HEMT is demonstrated.The polarization charge in PZT varies with different gate voltages.The equivalent polarization charge model(EPCM)is proposed for calculating the polarization charge and the concentration of two-dimensional electron gas(2DEG).The threshold voltage(V_(th))and output current density(I_(DS))can also be obtained by the EPCM.The theoretical values are in good agreement with the experimental results and the model can provide a guide for the design of the PZT MIS-HEMT.The polarization charges of PZT can be modulated by different gate-voltage stresses and the V_(th)has a regulation range of 4.0 V.The polarization charge changes after the stress of gate voltage for several seconds.When the gate voltage is stable or changes at high frequency,the output characteristics and the current collapse of the device remain stable.

Simulation studies of tungsten impurity behaviors during neon impurity seeding with tungsten bundled charge state model using SOLPS-ITER on EAST

An investigation into tungsten(W)impurity behaviors with the update of the EAST lower W divertor for H-mode has been carried out using SOLPS-ITER.This work aims to study the effect of external neon(Ne)impurity seeding on W impurity sputtering with the bundled charge state model.As the Ne seeding rate increases,plasma parameters,W concentration(C_(W)),and eroded W flux(Γ_(W)^(Ero))at both targets are compared and analyzed between the highly resolved bundled model‘jett’and the full W charge state model.The results indicate that‘jett’can produce divertor behaviors essentially in agreement with the full W charge state model.The bundled scheme with high resolution in low W charge states(<W^(20+))has no obvious effect on the Ne impurity distribution and thus little effect on W sputtering by Ne.Meanwhile,parametric scans of radial particle and thermal transport diffusivities(D_(⊥)andχ_(e,i))in the SOL are simulated using the‘jett’bundled model.The results indicate that the transport diffusivity variations have significant influences on the divertor parameters,especially for W impurity sputtering.

Competition of Quantum Anomalous Hall States and Charge Density Wave in a Correlated Topological Model

We investigate the topological phase transition driven by non-local electronic correlations in a realistic quantum anomalous Hall model consisting of d_(xy)–d_(x^(2)-y^(2)) orbitals. Three topologically distinct phases defined in the noninteracting limit evolve to different charge density wave phases under correlations. Two conspicuous conclusions were obtained: The topological phase transition does not involve gap-closing and the dynamical fluctuations significantly suppress the charge order favored by the next nearest neighbor interaction. Our study sheds light on the stability of topological phase under electronic correlations, and we demonstrate a positive role played by dynamical fluctuations that is distinct to all previous studies on correlated topological states.

Parameters Optimizing of Ammonia-Recovery System in the Modified Equipment of Flax Fiber

A detailed analysis of operational process and principle of ammonia-recovery system in the modified equipment of flax fiber,which will be applied to parameters optimizing of the ammoniarecovery system as a foundational principle,is presented. According to the principle,an ammonia compressor,whose working conditions are based on key operational parameters of the whole ammoniarecovery system, is the mainly energy-consumption part of ammonia-recovery system in the modified equipment of flax fiber. A generally mathematical model based on work efficiency of an ammonia compressor is founded,which is available to rate effective work and energy consumption of the ammonia compressor. The optimum operation-efficiency of the ammonia compressor is chosen as the goal to analyze and calculate the key operational parameters of the ammonia-recovery system. In the above analyzing and calculating,a mathematical model on ammonia flowing from the reactor to the register 1 is developed,in order to provide further understanding of the principle of an ammonia-recovery system. At the meantime,the ammonia flow regime in the pipeline and the process of ammonia inflation and deflation from the reactor to the register 1 are taken separately into account in the model. An iterative method is for obtaining parametric solutions of the mathematical model on ammonia flowing from the reactor to the register 1 and the key operational parameters of the ammoniarecovery system. A parametric analysis is put forward to complete showing the ammonia velocity or the state of the reactor and the register 1. The key optimized parameters will be achieved in term of the minimum efficiency after comparing the work efficiencies of an ammonia compressor at different working conditions.

Procedural simulation method for aggregating charging load model of private electric vehicle cluster

The usage of each private electric vehicle(PrEV)is a repeating behavior process composed by driving,parking,discharging and charging,in which PrEV shows obvious procedural characteristics.To analyze the procedural characteristics,this paper proposes a procedural simulation method.The method aggregates the behavior process regularity of the PrEV cluster to model the cluster’s charging load.Firstly,the basic behavior process of each PrEV is constructed by referring the statistical datasets of the traditional private non-electric vehicles.Secondly,all the basic processes are set as a simulation starting point,and they are dynamically reconstructed by several constraints.The simulation continues until the steady state of charge(SOC)distribution and behavior regularity of the PrEV cluster are obtained.Lastly,based on the obtained SOC and behavior regularity information,the PrEV cluster’s behavior processes are simulated again to make the aggregating charging load model available.Examples for several scenarios show that the proposed method can improve the reliability of modeling by grasping the PrEV cluster’s procedural characteristics.

Quantitative structure-property relationship of aromatic sulfur-containing carboxylates

Based on quantum chemical calculations, TLSER model(theoretical linear solvation energy relationships) and atomic charge approach were applied to model the partition properties(water solubility and octanol/water partition coefficient) of 96 aromatic sulfur-containing carboxylates, including phenylthio, phenylsulfinyl and phenylsulfonyl carboxylates. In comparison with TLSER models, the atomic charge models are more accurate and reliable to predict the partition properties of the kind of compounds. For the atomic charge models, the molecular descriptors are molecular surface area(S), molecular shape(O), weight(M W), net charges on carboxyl group(Q OC), net charges of nitrogen atoms(Q N), and the most negative atomic charge(q -) of the solute molecule. For water solubility(log S W) and octanol/water partition coefficient(log K OW), the correction coefficients r 2 adj(adjusted for degrees of freedom) are 0.936 and 0.938, and the standard deviations are 0.364 and 0.223, respectively.

A reaction density functional theory study of solvent effect in the nucleophilic addition reactions in aqueous solution

Whereas the proper choice of reaction solvent constitutes the cornerstone of the green solvent concept,solvent effects on chemical reactions are not mechanistically well understood due to the lack of feasible molecular models.Herein,by taking the case study of nucleophilic addition reaction in aqueous solution,we extend the proposed multiscale reaction density functional theory(RxDFT)method to investigate the intrinsic free energy profile and total free energy profile,and study the solvent effect on the activation and reaction free energy for the nucleophilic addition reactions of hydroxide anion with methanal and carbon dioxide in aqueous solution.The predictions of the free energy profile in aqueous solution for these two nucleophilic addition reactions from RxDFT have a satisfactory agreement with the results from the RISM and MD-FEP simulation.Meanwhile,the solvent effect is successfully addressed by examining the difference of the free energy profile between the gas phase and aqueous phase.In addition,we investigate the solvent effect on the reactions occurred near solid-liquid interfaces.It is shown that the activation free energy is significantly depressed when reaction takes place in the region within 10A distance to the substrate surface owing to the decrease of hydration free energy at the solid-liquid interface.

Estimation Method of State-of-Charge For Lithium-ion Battery Used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles Based on Variable Structure Extended Kalman Filter

Since the main power source of hybrid electric vehicle（HEV） is supplied by the power battery,the predicted performance of power battery,especially the state-of-charge（SOC） estimation has attracted great attention in the area of HEV.However,the value of SOC estimation could not be greatly precise so that the running performance of HEV is greatly affected.A variable structure extended kalman filter（VSEKF）-based estimation method,which could be used to analyze the SOC of lithium-ion battery in the fixed driving condition,is presented.First,the general lower-order battery equivalent circuit model（GLM）,which includes column accumulation model,open circuit voltage model and the SOC output model,is established,and the off-line and online model parameters are calculated with hybrid pulse power characteristics（HPPC） test data.Next,a VSEKF estimation method of SOC,which integrates the ampere-hour（Ah） integration method and the extended Kalman filter（EKF） method,is executed with different adaptive weighting coefficients,which are determined according to the different values of open-circuit voltage obtained in the corresponding charging or discharging processes.According to the experimental analysis,the faster convergence speed and more accurate simulating results could be obtained using the VSEKF method in the running performance of HEV.The error rate of SOC estimation with the VSEKF method is focused in the range of 5% to 10% comparing with the range of 20% to 30% using the EKF method and the Ah integration method.In Summary,the accuracy of the SOC estimation in the lithium-ion battery cell and the pack of lithium-ion battery system,which is obtained utilizing the VSEKF method has been significantly improved comparing with the Ah integration method and the EKF method.The VSEKF method utilizing in the SOC estimation in the lithium-ion pack of HEV can be widely used in practical driving conditions.

Interaction forces between soft magnetic particles in uniform and non-uniform magnetic fields

The influence of the magnetization of a soft magnetic sphere on the surrounding magnetic field is measured and characterized.The interaction force between two soft magnetic particles is directly measured using an ultra precision load sensor in uniform and non-uniform magnetic fields. The interaction force largely follows an inverse fourth power law as a function of separation distance between particle centers. At small distances,the effect of magnetization of one particle on the magnetization of its adjacent particle causes the attractive（repulsive） force to be larger（smaller） than that predicted by the inverse fourth power law.The theoretical prediction based on a modified dipole model,that takes into account the coupling effect of the magnetization among soft magnetic particles,gives excellent agreement with the measured force in a uniform magnetic field.The interaction force under a non-uniform applied magnetic field can be reasonably predicted using the dipole-dipole interaction model when the local magnetic field is used to determine the magnetization.

Research on the field emission mechanism of nano-structured carbon film

The field emission （FE） characteristics of nano-structured carbon films （NSCFs） are investigated. The saturation behaviour of the field emission current density found at high electric field E cannot be reasonably explained by the traditional Fowler-Nordheim （F-N） theory. A three-region E model and the curve-fitting method are utilized for discussing the FE characteristics of NSCFs. In the low, high, and middle E regions, the FE mechanism is reasonably explained by a modified F-N model, a corrected space-charge-limited-current （SCLC） model and the joint model of F N and SCLC mechanism, respectively. Moreover, the measured FE data accord well with the results from our corrected theoretical model.

Relativistic polytropic models of charged anisotropic compact objects

In this paper,we introduce new viable solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell field equations by incorporating the features of anisotropic matter distributions within the realm of the general theory of relativity(GR).To obtain these solutions,we employed the Finch-Skea spacetime,along with a generalized polytropic equation of state( EoS).We constructed various models of generalized polytropes by assuming different values of the polytropic index,i.e.,η=1/2,2/3,1,and 2.Next,numerous physical characteristics of these considered models were studied via graphical analysis,and they were found to obey all the essential conditions for astrophysical compact objects.Furthermore,such outcomes of charged anisotropic compact star models could be reproduced in various other cases including linear,quadratic,and polytropic EoS.

Charge deposition model for investigating SE-microdose effect in trench power MOSFETs

It was demonstrated that heavy ions can induce large current-voltage （I-V） characteristics shift in commercial trench power MOSFETs, named single event microdose effect （SE-microdose effect）. A model is pre- sented to describe this effect. This model calculates the charge deposition by a single heavy ion hitting oxide and the subsequent charge transport under an electric field. Holes deposited at the SiO2/Si interface by a Xe ion are calculated by using this model. The calculated results were then used in Sentaurus TCAD software to simulate a trench power MOSFET＇s I-V curve shift after a Xe ion has hit it. The simulation results are consistent with the related experiment＇s data. In the end, several factors which affect the SE-microdose effect in trench power MOSFETs are investigated by using this model.

Molecular Dynamics, Physical Properties, Diffusion Coefficients and Activation Energy of the Lithium Oxide (Li-O) and Sodium Oxide (Na-O) Electrolyte (Cathode)

This work is a simulation model with the LAMMPS calculation code of an electrode based on alkali metal oxides (lithium, sodium and potassium) using the Lennard Jones potential. For a multiplicity of 8*8*8, we studied a gap-free model using molecular dynamics. Physical quantities such as volume and pressure of the Na-O and Li-O systems exhibit similar behaviors around the thermodynamic ensembles NPT and NVE. However, for the Na2O system, at a minimum temperature value, we observe a range of total energy values;in contrast, for the Li2O system, a minimum energy corresponds to a range of temperatures. Finally, for physicochemical properties, we studied the diffusion coefficient and activation energy of lithium and potassium oxides around their melting temperatures. The order of magnitude of the diffusion coefficients is given by the relation Dli-O >DNa-O for the multiplicity 8*8*8, while for the activation energy, the order is well reversed EaNa-O > EaLi-O.

Microhydration of Alanine in Gas Phase Studied by Quantum Chemical Method and ABEEMσπ~/MM Fluctuating Charge Model

A fluctuating charge interaction potential function for alanine-water was constructed in the spirit of newly developed ABEEMax/MM（atom-bond electronegativity equalization method at the azc level fused into molecular mechanics）. The properties of gaseous neutral alanine-（H20）n（n=l--7） clusters were systematically investigated by quantum mechanics（QM） and the constructed ABEEMax/MM potential, such as conformations, hydrogen bonds （H-bonds）, interaction energies, charge distributions, and so on. The results of ABEEM^rrc/MM model are in fair agreement with those of QM and available experimental data. For isolated alanine, compared with those of experi- mental structure, the average absolute deviations（AAD） of bond length and bond angle are 0.002 nm and 1.4~, re- spectively. For alanine-water clusters, the AAD of interaction energies and H-bond lengths are only 3.77 kJ/mol and 0.012 nm, respectively, compared to the results of MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ//MP2/6-31 I＋G＊＊ method. The ABEEMa charges fluctuate with the changing conformation of the system, and can accurately and reasonably reflect the inter- polarization between water and alanine. The presented alanine-water potential function may provide a basis for fur- ther simulations on related aqueous solutions ofbiomolecules.

An efficient PSP-based model for optimized cross-coupled MOSFETs in voltage controlled oscillator

This paper proposes an efficient PSP-based model for cross-coupled metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors(MOSFETs) with optimized layout in the voltage controlled oscillator(VCO).The model employs a PSP charge model to characterize the bias-dependent extrinsic capacitance instead of numerical functions with strong non-linearity.The simulation convergence is greatly improved by this method.An original scheme is developed to extract the parameters of the PSP charge model based on S-parameters measurement.The interconnection parasitics of the cross-coupled MOSFETs are modeled based on vector fitting.The model is verified with an LC VCO design,and exhibits excellent convergence during simulation.The results show improvements as high as 60.5% and 61.8% in simulation efficiency and accuracy,respectively,indicating that the proposed model better characterizes optimized cross-coupled MOSFETs in advanced radio frequency(RF) circuit design.

Analytical charge control model for AlGaN/GaN MIS-HFETs including an undepleted barrier layer

An analytical charge control model considering the insulator/AlGaN interface charge and undepleted Al-GaN barrier layer is presented for AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor heterostructure field effect transistors （MIS-HFETs） over the entire operation range of gate voltage.The whole process of charge control is analyzed in detail and partitioned into four regions：Ⅰ—full depletion,Ⅱ—partial depletion,Ⅲ—neutral region andⅣ—electron accumulation at the insulator/AlGaN interface.The results show that two-dimensional electron gas（2DEG） saturates at the boundary of regionⅡ/Ⅲand the gate voltage should not exceed the 2DEG saturation voltage in order to keep the channel in control.In addition,the span of regionⅡaccounts for about 50%of the range of gate voltage before 2DEG saturates.The good agreement of the calculated transfer characteristic with the measured data confirms the validity of the proposed model.

Two-dimensional analytical model of double-gate tunnel FETs with interface trapped charges including effects of channel mobile charge carriers

A two-dimensional analytical model of double-gate（DG） tunneling field-effect transistors（TFETs） with interface trapped charges is proposed in this paper. The influence of the channel mobile charges on the potential profile is also taken into account in order to improve the accuracy of the models. On the basis of potential profile,the electric field is derived and the expression for the drain current is obtained by integrating the BTBT generation rate. The model can be used to study the impact of interface trapped charges on the surface potential, the shortest tunneling length, the drain current and the threshold voltage for varying interface trapped charge densities, length of damaged region as well as the structural parameters of the DG TFET and can also be utilized to design the charge trapped memory devices based on TFET. The biggest advantage of this model is that it is more accurate,and in its expression there are no fitting parameters with small calculating amount. Very good agreements for both the potential, drain current and threshold voltage are observed between the model calculations and the simulated results.
