The influence of Cr3+ substitution for Mn3+ on the magnetic property and charge ordering phase of La0.4Ca0.6MnO3 was studied through the measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetization-temperature (M-T) curves and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. The experimental results indicate that the mother's body of La0.4Ca0.6MnO3 has very complicated magnetic structure, exhibits charge ordering phase at 258 K, and shows long-range strongly correlated charge ordering-antiferromagnetism (CO-AFM) phase from 175 to 50 K. Spin glass state appears when the temperature decreases to about 41 K. When the Cr substitution amount is x = 0.06, the charge ordering phase of the mother's body is de-stroyed, because the Cr3+ substitution for Mn3+ destroys the spin order of CE-type antiferromagnetism, and thus leads to the melting of charge ordering. It is verified experimentally that the strong coupling between charge order and spin order exists in the charge order system of CE-type antiferromagnetism.展开更多

With the aim of further increasing the accuracy of ordering based search methods, we first propose to increase the search space, which can facilitate escaping from the local optima. We present our search operators with majorizations, which are easy to implement. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can obtain significantly more accurate results. With regard to the problem of the decrease on efficiency due to the increase of the search space, we then propose to add path priors as constraints into the swap process. We analyze the coefficient which may influence the performance of the proposed algorithm, the experiments show that the constraints can enhance the efficiency greatly, while has little effect on the accuracy. The final experiments show that, compared to other competitive methods, the proposed algorithm can find better solutions while holding high efficiency at the same time on both synthetic and real data sets.展开更多

The effect of W doping on the Mn site to La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 charge ordering phase and the changing process of magnetic properties were studied through the measurement of the M-T curve, M-H curves, and ESR curves of the sample. The results showed that when x = 0.08, the charge ordering (CO) phase exists in the system, the transition temperature Tco= 275 K, and the system exhibits PM when T 〉 275 K. The system transforms from spin-disordering paramagnetism to spin-ordering antiferromagnetism in the charge ordering state with the temperature decreasing from 275 K to 230 K. The long-range antiferromagnetism forms and AFM/CO states coexist between 230 K and 5 K. There is a little ferromagnetic component in the AFM/CO background in a low temperature range. When x = 0.12, the CO phase in the system has almost melted completely. There is a little remnant of the CO phase below 150 K. The system exhibits paramagnetism when T 〉 150 K and transforms from paramagnetism to ferromagnetism when T〈 150 K.展开更多

It shows a good agreement with the results of electric resistance measurement.Applying the Landau's theory,a quantitative relationship between M_s and the ordering parameter of the parent phase is set up,which is well confirmed by the results of X-ray diffraction and electric resistance measurement.The activation energy of the ordering process in the parent phase of the alloy is calculated to be 46 kJ/mol.展开更多

The flaky powders were prepared by milling the annealed ribbons for 70 h. After milling, the powders were heat treated at 573 K for 90 rain. The ordering degree of the powders lattice structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The measurement of specific saturation magnetization was carried out by vibrating samples magnetometer (VSM). Complex permittivity and complex permeability in the frequency band of 0.5-18 GHz were measured with the vector network analyzer. The ordering degree of the superlattice structure increased from 0.2'7 to 0.49. Complex permittivity and complex permeability decreased with increasing Si content. After ordering, the specific saturation magnetization decreased from 134.2 to 85.0 A.m2.kg-1. For use in anti-EMI material, the total contents of Si and Al in FeSiAl alloys should be controlled at a low level.展开更多

The paper considers ways of disordering intermetallic phases, in relation to the ordering energy and diffusivities, and some properties of partially ordered intermetallic phases (including mechanical properties) The kinetics of re-ordering of disordered starting material will be examined,including sluggishly ordering phases (which can be aided by concurrent irradiation). The circumstances under which a partially disordered intermetallic phase may transform into an amorphous form will be outlined.展开更多

When the Cr substitution amount is x = 0.06, the charge ordering phase of the mother's body is de-stroyed, because the Cr3+ substitution for Mn3+ destroys the spin order of CE-type antiferromagnetism, and thus leads to the melting of charge ordering. It is verified experimentally that the strong coupling between charge order and spin order exists in the charge order system of CE-type antiferromagnetism.

文摘Ordering based search methods have advantages over graph based search methods for structure learning of Bayesian networks in terms on the efficiency. With the aim of further increasing the accuracy of ordering based search methods, we first propose to increase the search space, which can facilitate escaping from the local optima. We present our search operators with majorizations, which are easy to implement. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can obtain significantly more accurate results. With regard to the problem of the decrease on efficiency due to the increase of the search space, we then propose to add path priors as constraints into the swap process. We analyze the coefficient which may influence the performance of the proposed algorithm, the experiments show that the constraints can enhance the efficiency greatly, while has little effect on the accuracy. The final experiments show that, compared to other competitive methods, the proposed algorithm can find better solutions while holding high efficiency at the same time on both synthetic and real data sets.

文摘Certain perovskite-type oxynitrides have bandgaps suitable for renewable hydrogen production via photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting under visible light.Understanding the ordering of oxide and nitride anions in these materials is important because this ordering affects their semiconductor properties.However, the numerous possible orderings complicate systematic analyses based on density functional theory(DFT) calculations using defined elemental arrangements.This work shows that anion ordering in large-scale supercells within perovskite-type oxynitrides can be rapidly predicted based on machine learning, using BaNbO2N(capable of oxidizing water under irradiation up to 740 nm) as an example.Machine learning allows the calculation of the total energy of BaNbO2N directly from randomly selected initial atomic placements without costly structural optimization, thus reducing the computational cost by more than 99.99%.Combined with the Metropolis Monte Carlo method, machine learning permits exploration of the stable anion orderings of large supercells without costly DFT calculations.This work therefore demonstrates a means of predicting the properties of functional materials having complex compositions based on the most realistic elemental arrangements in conjunction with reasonable computational loads.

文摘The perovskite manganite sample La0.3Ca0.7Mn1-xWxO3 (x = 0.08, 0.12) was prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The effect of W doping on the Mn site to La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 charge ordering phase and the changing process of magnetic properties were studied through the measurement of the M-T curve, M-H curves, and ESR curves of the sample. The results showed that when x = 0.08, the charge ordering (CO) phase exists in the system, the transition temperature Tco= 275 K, and the system exhibits PM when T 〉 275 K. The system transforms from spin-disordering paramagnetism to spin-ordering antiferromagnetism in the charge ordering state with the temperature decreasing from 275 K to 230 K. The long-range antiferromagnetism forms and AFM/CO states coexist between 230 K and 5 K. There is a little ferromagnetic component in the AFM/CO background in a low temperature range. When x = 0.12, the CO phase in the system has almost melted completely. There is a little remnant of the CO phase below 150 K. The system exhibits paramagnetism when T 〉 150 K and transforms from paramagnetism to ferromagnetism when T〈 150 K.

文摘The Jahn-Teller distortion plays an important role in determining the exchange interaction in rare-earth manganites.In this work we study the influence of the Jahn-Teller distortion on the magnetic structures of TbMn1-xFexO3(x = 0,0.02,0.05,0.10,and 0.20) single crystals in the basal MnO2 plane.The decrease in the quadruple splitting with the increasing Fe doping indicates the reduction of the Jahn-Teller distortion,which makes the nearest neighboring(NN) FM interaction dominant over the next nearest neighbor(NNN) AFM interaction.This alteration is favorable for the development of A-type AFM ordering instead of the spiral magnetic ordering,which collapses when x ≥ 0.05.The analysis of dielectric data indicates that the ferroelectricity is arising from the peculiar spiral magnetic ordering.
文摘The effect of grain size and ordering of the parent phase on the critical points of thermoelastic martensitic transformation in Cu-25.62 Zn-3.97 Al-0.0018 B(wt-%)shape memory alloy has been investigated.Based on the thermodynamics of phase transformation,a linear rela- tionship between the starting temperature of martensitic transformation and the reciprocal of the square root of grain size is obtained,i.e.M_s temperature rises with increasing grain size. It shows a good agreement with the results of electric resistance measurement.Applying the Landau's theory,a quantitative relationship between M_s and the ordering parameter of the parent phase is set up,which is well confirmed by the results of X-ray diffraction and electric resistance measurement.The activation energy of the ordering process in the parent phase of the alloy is calculated to be 46 kJ/mol.
文摘This paper establishes an ordering contraction mapping principle for increasing mapping in partial ordering metric spaces, and applies it to prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for some nonlinear operators controlled by a linear operator and phi-concave operator in a partial ordering Banach space. Therefore, this two results are unified.

文摘The Kirchhoff index Kf(G) of a graph G is defined to be the sum of the resistance distances between all pairs of vertices of G. In this paper, we develop a novel method for ordering the Kirchhoff indices of the complements of trees and unicyclic graphs. With this method, we determine the first five maximum values of Kf■ and the first four maximum values of Kf(ū),where ■ and ū are the complements of a tree T and unicyclic graph U, respectively.
文摘FeSiAl alloys ribbons synthesized by melt-quench were annealed in vacuum at 873 K for 60 rain. The flaky powders were prepared by milling the annealed ribbons for 70 h. After milling, the powders were heat treated at 573 K for 90 rain. The ordering degree of the powders lattice structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The measurement of specific saturation magnetization was carried out by vibrating samples magnetometer (VSM). Complex permittivity and complex permeability in the frequency band of 0.5-18 GHz were measured with the vector network analyzer. The ordering degree of the superlattice structure increased from 0.2'7 to 0.49. Complex permittivity and complex permeability decreased with increasing Si content. After ordering, the specific saturation magnetization decreased from 134.2 to 85.0 A.m2.kg-1. For use in anti-EMI material, the total contents of Si and Al in FeSiAl alloys should be controlled at a low level.

文摘This paper proposes a joint inspection-based maintenance and spare ordering optimization policy that considers the problem of integrated inspection,preventive maintenance,spare ordering,and quality control for a four-state single-unit manufacturing system.When an inspection detects a minor defect,a second phase inspection is initiated and a regular order is placed.Product quality begins to deteriorate when the system undergoes a severe defect.To counter this,an advanced replacement of the minor defective system is carried out at the Jth second phase inspection.If a severe defect is recognized prior to the Jth inspection,or if system failure occurs,preventive or corrective replacement is executed.The timeliness of replacement depends on the availability of spare.We adopt two modes of ordering:a regular order and an emergency order.Meanwhile,a threshold level is introduced to determine whether an emergency order is preferred even when the regular order is already ordered but has not yet arrived.The optimal joint inspection-based maintenance and spare ordering policy is formulated by minimizing the expected cost per unit time.A simulation algorithm is proposed to obtain the optimal two-phase inspection interval,threshold level and advanced replacement interval.Results from several numerical examples demonstrate that,in terms of the expected cost per unit time,our proposed model is superior to some existing models.
文摘All intermetallic phases have a tendency to atomic long-range ordering, according to the ordering energy, they may be permanently ordered (up to the melting-point) or reversibly ordered (up to a critical temperature). The paper considers ways of disordering intermetallic phases, in relation to the ordering energy and diffusivities, and some properties of partially ordered intermetallic phases (including mechanical properties) The kinetics of re-ordering of disordered starting material will be examined,including sluggishly ordering phases (which can be aided by concurrent irradiation). The circumstances under which a partially disordered intermetallic phase may transform into an amorphous form will be outlined.

文摘This paper presents a joint optimization policy of preventive maintenance(PM)and spare ordering for single-unit systems,which deteriorate subject to the delay-time concept with three deterioration stages.PM activities that combine a non-periodic inspection scheme with age-replacement are implemented.When the system is detected to be in the minor defective stage by an inspection for the first time,place an order and shorten the inspection interval.If the system has deteriorated to a severe defective stage,it is either repaired imperfectly or replaced by a new spare.However,an immediate replacement is required once the system fails,the maximal number of imperfect maintenance(IPM)is satisfied or its age reaches to a pre-specified threshold.In consideration of the spare’s availability as needed,there are three types of decisions,i.e.,an immediate or a delayed replacement by a regular ordered spare,an immediate replacement by an expedited ordered spare with a relative higher cost.Then,some mutually independent and exclusive renewal events at the end of a renewal cycle are discussed,and the optimization model of such a joint policy is further developed by minimizing the long-run expected cost rate to find the optimal inspection and age-replacement intervals,and the maximum number of IPM.A Monte-Carlo based integration method is also designed to solve the proposed model.Finally,a numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed joint optimization policy and the performance of the Monte-Carlo based integration method.
