The AF laser allows the laser frequency to change discretely and alternately over time. The suppression of SBS is significant as long as the AF difference is greater than the linear growth rate of SBS or the alternating time of the laser frequency is shorter than the linear growth time of SBS. However, the AF laser proves ineffective in suppressing SRS, which usually has a much higher linear growth rate than SBS. To remedy that, a transverse magnetic field is included to suppress the SRS instability. The electrons trapped in the electron plasma waves(EPWs) of SRS can be accelerated by the surfatron mechanism in a transverse magnetic field and eventually detrapped. While continuously extracting energy from EPWs, the EPWs are dissipated and the kinetic inflation of SRS is suppressed. The one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation results show that both SBS and SRS can be effectively suppressed by combining the AF laser with a transverse magnetic field with tens of Tesla. The total reflectivity can be dramatically reduced by more than one order of magnitude. These results provide a potential reference for controlling SBS and SRS under the related parameters of inertial confinement fusion.展开更多

The TMF and phase shift time were calculated by using the TMF contact model and the large phase shift of the magnetic field at a higher frequency was conductive to the dispersion process of residual plasma. The arc velocity was higher at 800 Hz than at 400 Hz. It can be inferred that TMF will encourage arc movement at 800 Hz. Moreover, the arc movement has an impact on the arc voltage. Because of the increasing length of the arc column with a high arc velocity, the elongated arc causes the arc voltage to increase. Specifically, the volt-ampere characteristics of the vacuum arc are divided into three stages in this paper. The higher the frequency, the greater the initial rate of rise in the arc voltage and the larger the area surrounded by arc volt-ampere characteristics. The correlations between the arc voltage and the amplitude and frequency of the current are also presented.展开更多

It is assumed that the crystal field is either turned on with probability p or turned off with probability 1 p on the sites of a square lattice. Phase diagrams are then calculated on the reduced temperature crystal field planes for given values of γ=Ω/J and p at zero h. Thus, the effect of changing γ and p are illustrated on the phase diagrams in great detail and interesting results are observed.展开更多

The collective spin noises at any time are analyzed exactly. The general expression of spin squeezing factor is presented for arbitrary-range spin interaction. For the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest neighbor spin interaction model, the analytic solutions are reduced from the general expressions. It is shown that the maximum spin squeezing is enhanced for the general arbitrary-range spin interaction compared with the nearest-neighbor interaction model as the long-range interaction with arbitrary sites enforces stronger correlation.展开更多

In the present paper, the classical cable function is modified to represent the excitation of peripheral nerves stimulated by a transverse electric field during magnetic stimulation. Methods Responses of the Ranvier nodes to a transverse-field are thoroughly investigated by mathematic simulation.

Based on a two-stage process, a novel model is introduced to describe peripheral nerves stimulated by a transverse-field. Based on the new model, the classical cable function is modified. Conclusion Using this modified cable equation, the excitation threshold of peripheral nerves in a transverse field during MS is obtained. The modified cable equation can be used to represent the response of peripheral nerves by an arbitrary electric field.展开更多

In this paper, the influence of the non-uniform electrical field on the edge effect of DBDs in a short-gap is investigated. We present some o.f the experimental results of DBDs produced by three kinds of convex-spherical electrodes. The results show that there is a dark area (the homogeneous discharge) in the central region of the electrode and a bright halo (the filamentary discharge) in the outer peripheral region, and the radius of the dark region is determined by the electrode geometry. The calculated results of the transverse (radial) field component distribution on the surface of the electrodes show that the edge effect does not come from the electrode edge, but the transverse field. The discharge has enough space to be fully developed and then format the filamentary discharge in the outer peripheral region because the streamer of the filamentary discharge is driven to move along the direction of the longer path by the transverse field. Thus, the homogeneous discharge (the Townsend DBD or a glow DBD) could not be produced in this area.展开更多

Different from the case without the DM interaction, the excitation spectra ek of this model are not symmetrical in the momentum space and are not always positive. As a result, besides the ferromagnetic (FM) and the paramagnetic (PM) phases, a gapless chiral phase is induced. In the chiral phase, the von Neumann entropy is proportional to log2 L (L is the length of a subchain) with the coefficient A ~ 1/3, which is the same as that of the XY chain in a transverse field without the DM interaction for 7 = 0 and 0 〈 h 〈 1. And in the vicinity of the critical point between the chiral phase and the FM (or PM) phase, the behaviors of the nearest- neighbor concurrence and its derivative are like those for the anisotropy transition.展开更多

The breaking capacity of vacuum breakers is determined by cathode spots, which provide electrons and metal vapor to maintain the arc. In this paper, experiments were carried out on two kinds of transverse magnetic field(TMF) contacts in a demountable vacuum chamber, the behavior of the cathode spots was recorded by a high-speed charge-coupled device(CCD) video camera, and the characteristics of the cathode spots were analyzed through the image processing method. The phenomenon of cathode spot groups and the star-shaped pattern of the spots were both discovered in the experiment. The experimental results show that with the condition of TMF contacts the initial expansion speed of cathode spots is influenced by some parameters, such as the tested current, contact gap, the structure of the contact, the contact diameter, the number of slots, etc. In addition, the influence of the magnetic field on the formation of the cathode spot groups, the distribution, and the dynamic characteristics of the cathode spots were analyzed. It is concluded that the characteristics of the cathode spots are due to the effect of the magnetic field on the near-cathode plasma. The study of the characteristics of cathode spots in this paper would be helpful in the exploration of the physical process of vacuum arcs, and would be of guiding significance in optimizing the design of vacuum circuit breakers.展开更多

文摘We investigate spin squeezing effects of trapped ions in an off-resonance optical potential system using the arbitrary range spin spin interaction and transverse field model. The collective spin noises at any time are analyzed exactly. The general expression of spin squeezing factor is presented for arbitrary-range spin interaction. For the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest neighbor spin interaction model, the analytic solutions are reduced from the general expressions. It is shown that the maximum spin squeezing is enhanced for the general arbitrary-range spin interaction compared with the nearest-neighbor interaction model as the long-range interaction with arbitrary sites enforces stronger correlation.

文摘The effects of the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) interaction on the ground-state properties of the anisotropic XY chain in a transverse field have been studied by means of correlation functions and entanglement. Different from the case without the DM interaction, the excitation spectra ek of this model are not symmetrical in the momentum space and are not always positive. As a result, besides the ferromagnetic (FM) and the paramagnetic (PM) phases, a gapless chiral phase is induced. In the chiral phase, the von Neumann entropy is proportional to log2 L (L is the length of a subchain) with the coefficient A ~ 1/3, which is the same as that of the XY chain in a transverse field without the DM interaction for 7 = 0 and 0 〈 h 〈 1. And in the vicinity of the critical point between the chiral phase and the FM (or PM) phase, the behaviors of the nearest- neighbor concurrence and its derivative are like those for the anisotropy transition.

The breaking capacity of vacuum breakers is determined by cathode spots, which provide electrons and metal vapor to maintain the arc. In this paper, experiments were carried out on two kinds of transverse magnetic field(TMF) contacts in a demountable vacuum chamber, the behavior of the cathode spots was recorded by a high-speed charge-coupled device(CCD) video camera, and the characteristics of the cathode spots were analyzed through the image processing method. The phenomenon of cathode spot groups and the star-shaped pattern of the spots were both discovered in the experiment. The experimental results show that with the condition of TMF contacts the initial expansion speed of cathode spots is influenced by some parameters, such as the tested current, contact gap, the structure of the contact, the contact diameter, the number of slots, etc. In addition, the influence of the magnetic field on the formation of the cathode spot groups, the distribution, and the dynamic characteristics of the cathode spots were analyzed. It is concluded that the characteristics of the cathode spots are due to the effect of the magnetic field on the near-cathode plasma. The study of the characteristics of cathode spots in this paper would be helpful in the exploration of the physical process of vacuum arcs, and would be of guiding significance in optimizing the design of vacuum circuit breakers.

文摘Transverse magnetic field(TMF)contacts and applying external TMF are often adopted for reducing the ablation of the contact surface,but TMF will also affect the breaking performance of the vacuum interrupters.In this work,we investigated the influence of weak TMF on the expansion of the plasma in the post-arc phase with one-dimensional implicit particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision model,and we added an external circuit to the model to ensure the correctness of the calculation results.We simulated multiple magnetic field strengths(<30 mT),compared the plasma expansion process with the TMF strengths of 0 mT and 10 mT,and discussed the influence of metal vapor density on the insulation performance recovery of the vacuum interrupter.From the results,applying TMF with strength below 5 mT has little effect on the expansion of the plasma,and the TMF can increase the plasma density which improve the flow capacity of vacuum circuit breakers when the magnetic field above 10 mT,which is because the particles become more difficult to leave the discharge area under the force of the magnetic field.In general,we find that weak external TMF may adversely affect the breaking performance of the vacuum circuit breakers.
文摘By means of ink trace visualization of the flows in conventional straight, positively curved and negatively curved cascades with tip clearance, and measurement of the aerodynamic parameters in transverse section, and by appling topology theory, the topological structures and vortex structure in the transverse section of a blade cascade were analyzed. Compared with conventional straight cascade, blade positive curving eliminates the separation line of the upper passage vortex, and leads the secondary vortex to change from close separation to open separation, while blade negative curving effects merely the positions of singular points and the intensities and scales of vortex.
文摘Plane, transverse MHD flow through a porous structure is considered in this work. Solution to the governing equations is obtained using an inverse method in which the streamfunction of the flow is considered linear in one of the space variables. Expressions for flow quantities are obtained for finitely conducting and infinitely conducting fluids.

文摘A weak transverse static magnetic field(WTSMF,0–0.5 T)is applied to the directional solidification process of a DD3 Ni-based SX superalloy,aiming to tailor the microstructure and microsegregation of alloys.The mechanisms of microstructural refinement and microsegregation distribution caused by a WTSMF during directional solidification are discussed.It is shown that the primary dendrite arm spacing is rapidly reduced from 181 to 143μm,and the average size ofγ′phase is significantly refined from 0.85 to 0.25μm as the magnetic field increases from 0 to 0.5 T.At the same time,the volumefractions ofγ/γ′eutectic and the segregation coefficient are also gradually decreased.The 3D numerical simulations of the multiscale convection in liquid phase show that the modifications of the microstructure and microsegregation in DD3 are mainly attributed to the enhanced liquid flow caused by thermoelectric magnetic convection(TEMC)at dendrite/sample scale under the WTSMF.The maximum of the TEMC increases with increasing the magnetic field intensity.This work paves a simple way to optimize the microstructure and microsegregation in directionally solidified Ni-based SX superalloys without changing the processing parameters and composition.

文摘Machining performance of thin-walled components made by aeronautical difficult-toprocess materials is a significant issue in the aviation manufacturing industry.Although wire electric discharge machining-low speed(WEDM-LS)is one of typical non-contact machining processes without macro cutting force,which does well in removing hardness and brittleness materials via pulsed discharge at high temperature,but few researchers have studied the thermal distortion behavior leading to a considerable geometric error in the WEDM-LS of thin-walled components.In this paper,a transverse magnetic field assisted method is applied for affecting the uniformity of discharge point distribution so as to reduce the distortion in WEDM-LS processing thin-wall component.First,the generation mechanism of this new distortion behavior and the impact mechanism of transverse magnetic field(TMF)on distortion are demonstrated by theoretical analysis.In order to further figure out the distortion behavior in the TMF-WEDM process,a new thermophysical model considering the discharge point distribution is established to simulate temperature field,residual stress field and distortion profiles.Then a large number of Taguchi experiments are carried out to investigate the influences of process parameters including pulse discharge energy(pulse on time,pulse off time,and current)and magnetic field strength on distortion in WEDM-LS.To comparatively analyze simulated and experimental results,the accuracy of established thermophysical model is verified within a relative error of 18.38%in distortion.Moreover,it can be revealed that transverse magnetic field contribute to significantly improve the longitudinal distribution uniformity with maximum increase of 12.32%at magnetic field strength:0.15 T,leading to significant reductions of 32.77%in distortion and 22.68%in recast layer.Eventually,we also presented the variation of residual stress and recast layer along thickness direction under different distortion behavior,which are in good agreement with that of distortion behavior.
