This paper investigates several most commonly applied BCs by evaluating the relative L2-norm errors of the LB simulations for two-dimensional (2-D) Poiseuille flow. It is found that the relative L2-norm error resulting from FHML's BC is smaller than that from other BCs as a whole. Then, based on the FHML's BC, it formulates an LB model for simulating fluid flows in 2-D channel with complex geometries. Afterwards, the flows between two inclined plates, in a pulmonary blood vessel and in a blood vessel with local expansion region, are simulated. The numerical results are in good agreement with the analytical predictions and clearly show that the model is effective. It is expected that the model can be extended to simulate some real biologic flows, such as blood flows in arteries, vessels with stenosises, aneurysms and bifurcations,展开更多

In particul...Recently, the concept of topological insulators has been generalized to topological semimetals, including three-dimensional (3D) Weyl semimetals, 3D Dirac semimetMs, and 3D node-line semimetals (NLSs). In particular, several compounds (e.g., certain 3D graphene networks, Cu3PdN, Ca3P2 ) were discovered to be 3D NLSs, in which the conduction and valence bands cross at closed lines in the Brillouin zone. Except for the two-dimensional (2D) Dirac semimetal (e.g., graphene), 2D topological semimetals are much less investigated. Here we propose a new concept of a 2D NLS and suggest that this state could be realized in a new mixed lattice (named as HK lattice) composed by Kagome and honeycomb lattices. It is found that A3B2 (A is a group-liB cation and B is a group-VA anion) compounds (such as Hg3As2) with the HK lattice are 2D NLSs due to the band inversion between the cation Hg-s orbital and the anion As-pz orbital with respect to the mirror symmetry. Since the band inversion occurs between two bands with the same parity, this peculiar 2D NLS could be used as transparent conductors. In the presence of buckling or spin-orbit coupling, the 2D NLS state may turn into a 2D Dirac semimetal state or a 2D topological crystalline insulating state. Since the band gap opening due to buckling or spin-orbit coupling is small, Hg3As3 with the HK lattice can still be regarded as a 2D NLS at room temperature. Our work suggests a new route to design topological materials without involving states with opposite parities.展开更多

This study is focused on two-dimensional breathers with their frequency in the gap that separates the acoustic and optical bands of the phonon spectrum. We demonstrate the possibility of the existence of two-dimensional gap breathers by using a numerical method. Six types of two-dimensional gap breathers are obtained, i.e., symmetric, mirror-symmetric and asymmetric, whether the center of the breather is on a light or a heavy atom. The difference between one-dimensional discrete gap breathers and two-dimensional discrete gap breathers is also discussed. We use Aubry's theory to analyze the stability of discrete gap breathers in the two-dimensional diatomic face-centered square lattice.展开更多

In order to load ^(87)Rb Bose-Einstein condensate into single dark fringe node of the blue detuning optical lattice, we reduce the lattice periodicity from 26.7 μm to 3.5 μm with the help of an acousto-optic deflector(AOD) to compress the three-dimensional BEC adiabatically into a flat and uniform quasi-2D single-layer. We describe the experimental procedure of the atoms loading into the accordion lattice in detail and present the characteristics of the quasi-2D ultracold gases. This setup provides an important platform for studying in-and out-of equilibrium physics, phase transition and 2D topological matter.展开更多

DBs can stably exist in the 2D discrete diatomic Klein-Gordon lattice with hard and soft on-site potentials. When a parametric driving term is introduced in the factor multiplying the harmonic part of the on-site potential of the system, we can obtain the stable quasiperiodic discrete breathers (QDBs) and chaotic discrete breathers (CDBs) by changing the amplitude of the driver. But the DBs and QDBs with symmetric and anti-symmetric profiles that are centered at a heavy atom are more stable than at a light atom, because the frequencies of the DBs and QDBs centered at a heavy atom are lower than those centered at a light atom.展开更多

The dust lattice structures are characterized by particle distribution, nearest neighbor configuration and pair correlation function. The current autocorrelation function, the dispersion relation and sound speed are used to represent the wave properties. The wave propagation of the dust lattice closely relates to the lattice structure. It shows that the number of defect particles can affect the dust lattice local structure and then affect the dispersion relations of waves propagating in it. The presence of defect particles has a greater effect on the transverse waves than on the longitudinal waves of the dust lattice. The appropriate number of defect particles can weaken the anisotropy property of the lattice.展开更多

To improve the computation efficiency of LBM on the numerical simulations of turbulent flows, the massively parallel computing power from a graphic processing unit (GPU) with a computing unified device architecture (CUDA) is introduced into the MRT-LBE-LES model. The model performs well, compared with the results from others, with an increase of 76 times in computation efficiency. It appears that the higher the Reynolds numbers is, the smaller the Smagorinsky constant should be, if the lattice number is fixed. Also, for a selected high Reynolds number and a selected proper Smagorinsky constant, there is a minimum requirement for the lattice number so that the Smagorinsky eddy viscosity will not be excessively large.展开更多

The finitedifference time-domain(FDTD) method is employed to calculate the band structure and simulate image construction. The band diagram of the complex structure is significantly compressed. Negative refraction occurs in the second energy band with negative phase velocity at a frequency of 0.228(2πc/a), which is lower than results from previous studies. Lower negative refraction frequency leads to higher image resolution. Numerical results show that the spatial resolution of the system reaches 0.7296λ, which is lower than the incident wavelength.展开更多

文摘Large eddy simulation (LES) using the Smagorinsky eddy viscosity model is added to the two-dimensional nine velocity components (D2Q9) lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) with multi-relaxation-time (MRT) to simulate incompressible turbulent cavity flows with the Reynolds numbers up to 1 × 10^7. To improve the computation efficiency of LBM on the numerical simulations of turbulent flows, the massively parallel computing power from a graphic processing unit (GPU) with a computing unified device architecture (CUDA) is introduced into the MRT-LBE-LES model. The model performs well, compared with the results from others, with an increase of 76 times in computation efficiency. It appears that the higher the Reynolds numbers is, the smaller the Smagorinsky constant should be, if the lattice number is fixed. Also, for a selected high Reynolds number and a selected proper Smagorinsky constant, there is a minimum requirement for the lattice number so that the Smagorinsky eddy viscosity will not be excessively large.

文摘The discovery of graphene has led to the devotion of intensive efforts,theoretical and experimental,to produce two-dimensional(2D)materials that can be used for developing functional materials and devices.This work provides a brief review of the recent developments in the lattice models of 2D Dirac materials and their relevant real material counterparts that are crucial for understanding the origins of 2D Dirac cones in electronic band structures as well as their material design and device applications.We focus on the roles of lattice symmetry,atomic orbital hybridization,and spin-orbit coupling in the presence of a Dirac cone.A number of lattice models,such as honeycomb,kagome,ruby,star,Cairo,and line-centered honeycomb,with different symmetries are reviewed based on the tight-binding approach.Inorganic and organic 2D materials,theoretically proposed or experimentally synthesized to satisfy these 2D Dirac lattice models,are summarized.
文摘We theoretically demonstrate the imaging properties of a complex two-dimensional(2D) face-centered square lattice photonic crystal(PC) made from germanium cylinders in air background. The finitedifference time-domain(FDTD) method is employed to calculate the band structure and simulate image construction. The band diagram of the complex structure is significantly compressed. Negative refraction occurs in the second energy band with negative phase velocity at a frequency of 0.228(2πc/a), which is lower than results from previous studies. Lower negative refraction frequency leads to higher image resolution. Numerical results show that the spatial resolution of the system reaches 0.7296λ, which is lower than the incident wavelength.

文摘Discovering more and new geometrically frustrated systems remains an active point of inquiry in fundamental physics for the existence of unusual states of matter.Here,we report spin-liquid-like behavior in a two-dimensional(2D)rhombic lattice Fe-metal-organic framework(Fe-MOF)with frustrated antiferromagnetism.This Fe-MOF exhibits a high frustration factor f=|θCW|/TN≥315,and its long-range magnetic order is suppressed down to 180 mK.Detailed theoretical calculations demonstrate strong antiferromagnetic coupling between adjacent Fe3+ions,indicating the potential of a classical spin-liquid-like behavior.Notably,a T-linear heat capacity parameter,γ,originating from electronic contributions and with magnetic field independence up to 8 T,can be observed in the specific heat capacity measurements at low-temperature,providing further proof for the spin-liquid-like behavior.This work highlights the potential of MOF materials in geometrically frustrated systems,and will promote the research of exotic quantum physics phenomena.
