The β→α transformation kinetics of the grade-2 CP-Ti during continuous cooling was measured and its hot compression behavior was investigated using Gleeble-1500 thermal mechanical simulator. Dynamic CCT diagram confirms that cooling rate has an obvious effect on the start and finishing transformation and microstructures at room temperature. The critical cooling rate for γ-phase transforms to a phase is about 15℃/s. When the cooling rate is higher than 15 ℃/s, some β phases with fine granular shape remain residually into plate-like structure. The plate-like a phase forms at cooling rate lower than 2 ℃/s, serrate a phase forms at medium cooling rates, about 5-15℃/s. The flow stress behavior of grade-2 CP-Ti was investigated in a temperature range of 700-900℃ and strain rate of 3.6-40 mm/min. The results show that dynamic recrystallization, dynamic recovery and work-hardening obviously occur during hot deformation. Constitutive equation of grade-2 CP-Ti was established by analyzing the relationship of the deformation temperature, strain rate, deformation degree and deformation resistance.展开更多

The structure analysis show that this material crystallizes into tetragonal structure isostructural La 2 CuO4 with single CuO 2 plane. The magnetic susceptibility as well as resistance measurements indicates that the bulk superconductivity with the critical transition temperature 37 K is achieved in the crystal.展开更多

This mapping addresses the dynamical behavior of the fitness model within the framework of nonextensive statistics mechanics, which is characterized by a dimensionless nonextensivity parameter q. It is found that this new phenomenological parameter plays an important role in the evolution of networks: the underlying evolving networks may undergo a different phases depending on the q exponents, comparing to the original B-B fitness model, and the corresponding critical transition temperature Tc is also identified.展开更多

It is commonly believed that, as the antifer- romagnetic transition temperature is continuously suppressed to zero, there appears a quantum critical point, around which the existence of antiferromagnetic fluctuation is responsible for the development of the superconductivity. In contrast to this scenario, we report the observation of a bi-critical point identified at 2,88 GPa and 26.02 K in the pressurized high-quality single crystal Cao.73Lao.27FeAs2 by com- plementary in-situ high pressure measurements. At the critical pressure, we find that the antiferromag- netism suddenly disappears and superconductivity simultaneously emerges at almost the same temperature, and that the external magnetic field suppresses the superconducting transition temperature but hardly affects the antiferromagnetic transition temperature.展开更多

A 3D transient finite element model was developed to study the temperature evolution during the multilayer LADMD process. To make the property analysis from thermal history easier, a critical temperature specific to thermal history was defined and the distribution of it in the part was also discussed. The simulation results indicated that the critical temperature can make the property analysis from thermal history easier. Thermal history of all the deposited materials was similar. It was also concluded that process parameters needed to be time-varying according to the real-time temperature field during the process.展开更多

In order to induce domain separation and form well-defined structural arrangements, many of these are solvent-annealed (i.e. solvent swollen) at moderate temperatures. The use of solvents can be challenging in industry from an environmental point of view as well as having practical/cost issues. However, a simple and environmentally friendly alternative to solvo-thermal annealing for the periodically ordered nanoscale phase separated structures is described herein. Various asymmetric polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) thin films were annealed in a compressible fluid, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2), to control nanodomain orientation and surface morphologies. For the first time, periodic well defined, hexagonally ordered films with sub-25 nm pitch size were demonstrated using a supercritical fluid (SCF) process at low temperatures and pressures. Predominant swelling of PEO domains in scCO2 induces nanophase separation, scCO2 serves as green alternative to the conventional organic solvents for the phase segregation of BCPs with complete elimination of any residual solvent in the patterned film. The depressurization rate of scCO2 following annealing was found to affect the morphology of the films. The supercritical annealing conditions could be used to define nanoporous analogues of the microphase separated films without additional processing, providing a one-step route to membrane like structures without affecting the ordered surface phase segregated structure. An understanding of the BCP self- assembly mechanism can be realized in terms of the deviation in glass transition temperature, melting point, viscosity, interaction parameter and volume fraction of the constituent blocks in the scCO2 environment.展开更多
