The values of the total temperature of the ion crystals during the phase transition are derived using the molecular-dynamics(MD) simulation method. A series of simulations revealed that the ratio of the radial to axial secular frequencies has a dependence on the total temperature that obeys different functional forms for linear and zigzag structures, and the transition point occurs where these functions intersect; thus, the critical value of the ratio of secular frequencies that drives the structure phase transition can be derived.展开更多

However, there are still many problems in its practical application. Dielectric and mechanical (internal friction) measurements are very sensitive to phase transitions, relaxation process of point defects, domain walls and their mobility, which have severe effect on ferroelectric properties. These make them become very good means to investigate substantial information on structural features and to explore the fundamental principles in ferroelectric materials and their applications. In this paper, the dielectric and internal friction measurement were used to investigate the behaviors for point defects and phase transition in ferroelectric ceramics such as Bi_ 4-x La_ x Ti_ 3 O_ 12 , Bi_ 4 Ti_ 3-y Nb_ y O_ 12 , SrBi_ 2 Ti_ 2 O_ 9 , PbZr_ x Ti_ 1-x O_ 3 ,_ PMN-PT. They were used to clarify the mechanism for some ferroelectric behaviors.展开更多

A modified TG-DSC apparatus was used to measure their Curie temperatures, which were around 7600C, lower than that of pure Fe thin films. The easy magnetization axis was in-plane. High temperature annealing in vacuum decreased the coercivity sharply. The saturation magnetization also changed with heat treatment. After annealing at the temperature equal to the substrate temperature during deposition, the saturation magnetization decreased.展开更多

Based on the structure optimization of different potential energy surfaces,there are two crossing points between singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces and there is a crossing point between quintet and triplet potential energy surfaces in the whole catalytic cycle. Spin transition probabilities in the vicinity of the intersections have been calculated by the Landau-Zener model theory. There are three minimum energy crossing points(MECPs) with strong spin-orbital coupling effect and higher spin transition probability,and all spin inversion occurred in s orbital and different d orbitals of ruthenium,indicating this is a typical two-state reactivity(TSR) reaction. Finally,the lowest energy reaction path is ensured.展开更多

The measurement of baryon number susceptibilities from heavy-ion collision experiments is along the freeze-out line. If the freeze-out line crosses the foot of the CEP mountain, then one can observe the peaked baryon number susceptibilities along the freeze-out line, and the kurtosis of the baryon number distributions has the highest magnitude. The data from the first phase of the beam energy scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider indicates that there should be a peak of the kurtosis of the baryon number distribution at a collision energy of around 5 Ge V, which suggests that the freeze-out line crosses the foot of the CEP mountain and the summit of the CEP should be located nearby, around a collision energy of 3–7 GeV.展开更多
