A Review on China’s Transportation Development Theory from the Perspective of Regional Economics

Transportation is the lifeline of human civilization and an important component of the infrastructure for economic growth.As transportation is closely related to regional economic development,the summarization of China's transportation development theory from the perspective of regional economics will be conducive to clarifying the relationships between transportation and regional economic development and providing basic theoretical support for regional economic research and policy application.From the perspective of regional economics,China’s transportation development theory falls into two categories:transportation resource allocations,and the interactions between transportation and economic development.In recent years,there has been a trend toward the integration of transportation development research with regional economic growth,and a deeper understanding of the relationships between them has been achieved.

Macroscopic lasereplasma interaction under strong non-local transport conditions for coupled matter and radiation

Reliable simulations of laseretarget interaction on the macroscopic scale are burdened by the fact that the energy transport is very often non-local.This means that the mean-free-path of the transported species is larger than the local gradient scale lengths and transport can be no longer considered diffusive.Kinetic simulations are not a feasible option due to tremendous computational demands,limited validity of the collisional operators and inaccurate treatment of thermal radiation.This is the point where hydrodynamic codes with non-local radiation and electron heat transport based on first principles emerge.The simulation code PETE(Plasma Euler and Transport Equations)combines both of them with a laser absorption method based on the Helmholtz equation and a radiation diffusion scheme presented in this article.In the case of modelling ablation processes it can be observed that both,thermal and radiative,transport processes are strongly non-local for laser intensities of 10^(13) W=cm^(2) and above.In this paper simulations for various laser intensities and different ablator materials are presented,where the non-local and diffusive treatments of radiation transport are compared.Significant discrepancies are observed,supporting importance of non-local transport for inertial confinement fusion related studies as well as for pre-pulse generated plasma in ultra-high intensity laseretarget interaction.

Theoretical Investigation on the Charge Transport Properties of 2,5-Di(cyanovinyl)-thiophene/furan with the Kinetic Monte Carlo Method

Exploring, designing, and synthesizing novel organic field-effect transistor （OFET） materials have kept an important and hot issue in organic electronics. In the current work, the charge transport properties for 2,5-di（cyanovinyl）thiophene/furan crystal associating two pentafluorophenyl units linked via the azomethine bond, CTE and CFE have been theoretically investigated by means of density functional theory （DFT） calculations coupled with the incoherent charge-hopping mechanism and the kinetic Monte Carlo simulation. Results show that these two compounds possess remarkably low-lying HOMO （-7.0 eV） and LUMO （-4.0 eV） levels, as well as large electron affinities （〉 3.0 eV）, which indicate their high stability exposed to air as promising OFET materials. However, the ph value at room temperature （T = 300 K） is predicted to be 2.058x10^7 cm26Vl·s-1, and the is as low as 9.834^10-8 cm2-V-l.s-1 for CFT crystal. Meanwhile, these two values are 7.561 x 10-8 and 8.437 x 10-8 cm2.V-I.s-1 for the CFE crystal, respectively. Furthermore, the simulation of angle-dependent mobility in the a-b, a-c, and b-c crystal planes shows that the charge transport in CTE and CFE crystals is remarkably anisotropic, which maybe is helpful for the fabrication of high-performance OFET devices.

Nanofluids Transport Model Based on Fokker-Planck Equation and the Convection Heat Transfer Calculation

In current research about nanofluid convection heat transfer, random motion of nanoparticles in the liquid distribution problem mostly was not considered. In order to study on the distribution of nanoparticles in liquid, nanofluid transport model in pipe is established by using the continuity equation, momentum equation and Fokker-Planck equation. The velocity distribution and the nanoparticles distribution in liquid are obtained by numerical calculation, and the effect of particle size and particle volume fraction on convection heat transfer coefficient of nanofluids is analyzed. The result shows that in high volume fraction （ 0 _-- 0.8% ）, the velocity distribution of nanofluids characterizes as a ＂cork-shaped＂ structure, which is significantly different from viscous fluid with a parabolic distribution. The convection heat transfer coefficient increases while the particle size of nanoparticle in nanofluids decreases. And the convection heat transfer coefficient of nanofluids is in good agreement with the experimental result both in low （0 ~〈 0.1% ） and high （ q = 0.6% ） volume fractions. In presented model, Brown motion, the effect of interactions between nanoparticles and fluid coupling, is also considered, but any phenomenological parameter is not introduced. Nanoparticles in liquid transport distribution can be quantitatively calculated by this model.

Theoretical investigation of the thermoelectric transport properties of BaSi_2

The full-potential linear augmented plane wave method based on density functional theory is employed to investigate the electronic structure of BaSi2. With the constant relaxation time and rigid band approximation, the electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and figure of merit are calculated by using Boltzmann transport theory, further eval- uated as a function of carrier concentration. We find that the Seebeck coefficient is more anisotropic than electrical conductivity. The figure of merit of BaSi2 is predicted to be quite high at room temperature, implying that optimal doping may be an effective way to improve thermoelectric properties.

Moreover, rectifying behavior and giant magnetoresistance are found in the device. The corresponding physical analyses have been given.

Electronic Structures and Thermoelectric Properties of Two-Dimensional MoS2/MoSe2 Heterostructures

Thermoelectric properties of bulk and bilayer two-dimensional （2D） MoS2/MoSe2 het- erostructures are investigated using density functional theory in conjunction with semi- classical Boltzmann transport theory. It is predicted that the bulk 2D heterostructures could considerably enhance the thermoelectric properties as compared with the bulk MoSe2. The enhancement originates from the reduction in the band gap and the presence of interlayer van der Waals interactions. We therefore propose the 2D MoS2/MoSe2 heterostructures as a possible candidate material for thermoelectric applications.

High frequency S wave envelope synthesis using a multiple non-isotropic scattering model: application to aftershocks from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake

Based on the formulation of a multiple non-isotropic scattering process, a characteristic source time is introduced to define the initial impulse width of energy density at the source. An analytical expression of the initial intensity spectral density of a seismic wave is incorporated into the integral equation of seismic wave energy density. And, a recursive formula of Green＇s function is derived to obtain the higher order Green＇s function, which is included to describe the stronger non-isotropic scattering process. Then, the effect of the scattering pattern on the energy density envelope is investigated by the modified scattering theory. Significant differences arc found in the decay of the energy density envelopes with distances using different scattering patterns. The envelope synthesized by the forward dominated scattering pattern is larger than the results obtained by the isotropic and backward dominated scattering pattern. Different scattering patterns are also used to fit the observation data from the aftershocks of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. It is concluded that the envelopes synthesized by the forward scattering pattern can match the data better than the isotropic and backward dominated scattering cases, and a new interpretation of the coda wave is given. Finally, using the forward dominated scattering pattern, the envelope broadening of the observed data is reproduced.

Anisotropic phonon thermal transport in two-dimensional layered materials

Two-dimensional layered materials(2DLMs)have attracted growing attention in optoelectronic devices due to their intriguing anisotropic physical properties.Different members of 2DLMs exhibit unique anisotropic electrical,optical,and thermal properties,fundamentally related to their crystal structure.Among them,directional heat transfer plays a vital role in the thermal management of electronic devices.Here,we use density functional theory calculations to investigate the thermal transport properties of representative layered materials:β-InSe,γ-InSe,MoS2,and h-BN.We found that the lattice thermal conductivities ofβ-InSe,γ-InSe,MoS_(2),and h-BN display diverse anisotropic behaviors with anisotropy ratios of 10.4,9.4,64.9,and 107.7,respectively.The analysis of the phonon modes further indicates that the phonon group velocity is responsible for the anisotropy of thermal transport.Furthermore,the low lattice thermal conductivity of the layered InSe mainly comes from low phonon group velocity and atomic masses.Our findings provide a fundamental physical understanding of the anisotropic thermal transport in layered materials.We hope this study could inspire the advancement of 2DLMs thermal management applications in next-generation integrated electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Damaging impacts of energetic charge particles on materials in plasma energy explosive events

To provide some reference data for estimation of the erosion rates and lifetimes of some candidate plasma facing component （PFC） materials in the plasma stored energy explosive events （PSEEE）, this paper calculates the sputtering yields of Mo, W and deuterium saturated Li surface bombarded by energetic charged particles by a new sputtering physics description method based on bipartition model of charge particle transport theory. The comparisons with Monte Carlo data of TRIM code and experimental results axe made. The dependences of maximum energy deposition, particle and energy reflection coefficients on the incident energy of energetic runaway electrons impinging on the different material surfaces are also calculated. Results may be useful for estimating the lifetime of PFC and analysing the impurity contamination extent, especially in the PSEEE for high power density and with high plasma current fusion reactor.

Alternate Form of Damped Wave Conduction and Relaxation Equation a Capite Adcalcem in Temperature

An alternate non-Fourier heat conduction equation is derived from consideration of translation motion of spinless electron under a driving force due to an applied temperature gradient. This equation is a eapite ad calcem,temperature. Elimination of the rate of change of velocity with respect to time leads to a non-Fourier heat conduction equation with a accumulation of temperature or ballistic term in it. The new constitutive heat conduction equation is combined with the energy balance equation in one dimension. The governing equation for transient temperature a partial differential equation （Eq. （23）） is solved for by the method of Laplace transforms. The problem considered is the semi-infinite medium with constant thermo physical properties with constant wall temperature boundary condition. A closed form analyticalexpression for the transient temperature was obtained （Eq. （36）） after truncation of higher order terms in the infinite binomial series and use of convolution and lag properties. This solution is compared with that obtained using the parabolic Fourier model and the damped wave model as presented in an earlier study. The predictions of Eq. （36） are closer to the Fourier model. The convex nature of the temperature curve is present.

Three methods for the single-photon transport in a chiral cavity quantum electrodynamics system

We investigate the single-photon transport problem in the system of a whispering-gallery mode microresonator chirally coupled with a two-level quantum emitter[QE].Conventionally,this chiral QE-microresonator coupling system can be studied by the master equation and the single-photon transport methods.Here,we provide a new approach,based on the transfer matrix,to assess the single-photon transmission of such a system.Furthermore,we prove that these three methods are equivalent.The corresponding relations of parameters among these approaches are precisely deduced.The transfer matrix can be extended to a multiple-resonator system interacting with two-level QEs in a chiral way.Therefore,our work may provide a convenient and intuitive form for exploring more complex chiral cavity quantum electrodynamics systems.

In present paper, the non-equilibrium Green function(NEGF) method along with the density functional theory(DFT) are used to investigate the effect of width on transport and electronic properties of armchair graphyne(γ-graphyne) nanoribbons. The results show that all the studied nanoribbons are semiconductor and their band gaps decrease as the widths of nanoribbons increase, which will result in increasing current at a certain voltage. Also our results show the promising application of armchair graphyne nanoribbons in nano-electrical devices.
