The results show that there are large sub-structures and also texture component C for the UFG copper obtained by six passes AARB, possessing high strength and microhardness in company with poor elongation and conductivity. Thereafter, the UFG copper was annealed at 220 °C for 35 min, in which the sub-structures disappear, the grain boundaries are composed of big angle grain boundaries, and the textures are composed of a variety of texture components and parts of twins. Compared with the UFG copper obtained by six passes AARB, the tensile strength and yield strength for the UFG copper obtained by six passes AARB and annealing at 220 °C for 35 min are decreased slightly, the elongation and conductivity are improved obviously.展开更多

Firstly, crystal plasticity finite element(CPFE) analysis is performed to calculate dislocation density and stored deformation energy distribution during the plastic deformation. A modified phase field(PF) model is then established by extending the continuum field method to consider both stored energy and local interface curvature as driving forces of grain boundary migration. An interpolation mapping approach is adopted to transfer the stored energy distribution from CPFE to PF efficiently. This modified PF model is implemented to a hypothetical bicrystal firstly for verification and then the coupled CPFE-PF framework is further applied to simulating the 2D synthetic polycrystalline microstructure evolution in annealing process of deformed AA3102 aluminum alloy.Results show that the nuclei with low stored energy embedded within deformed matrix tend to grow up, and abnormal large grains occur when the deformation is close to the critical plastic strain, attributing to the limited number of recrystallized nuclei and inhomogeneity of the stored energy.展开更多

The complicated boundary-value problem caused by inclusion shapes is circumvented by introducing a transformation electric field into the crystal composites regions, and the effective anisotropic dielectric responses are formulated in terms of the transformation field. Furthermore, the numerical results show that the effective anisotropie dielectric responses of crystal composites periodically vary as a function of the rotating angle between the principal dielectric axes of inclusion and matrix crystal materials. It is found that at larger inclusion volume fraction the inclusion shapes induce profound effect on the effective anisotropic dielectric responses.展开更多

Increasing the nanocrystal shape anisotropy of Co nanocrystals through the control of their nanocrystallinities induces a higher level of ordering with both translational and orientational alignment of nanocrystals within the supracrystals. The hierarchy in ordering at various scales, i.e., from the atomic lattice within the nanocrystals to the nanocrystal superlattices within supracrystals, is correlated with marked changes in the Young's modulus of supracrystals: From 0.7 ±0.4 to 1.7 ±0.5 and to 6.6 ±1.5 GPa as the crystalline structure of Co nanoparticles changes from amorphous-Co to ε-Co and to hexagonal compact packing (hcp)-Co, respectively. Moreover, for supracrystals of 7 nm amorphous Co nanoparticles, the Young's modulus decreases by one order of magnitude from 0.7 ±0.4 to 0.08 ±0.03 GPa upon reducing the alkyl chain length of the ligands coating the Co nanoparticles from C18 (oleic acid) to C12 (lauric acid). The hierarchical mechanical behavior is rationalized using a dimensional model of the stress-strain relationship in supracrystals.展开更多

The effective experimental me- thod was first proposed by Jackson and Hunt in 1965. The transparent model materials for solidification researches are a kind of non-faceted crystals known as "plastic crystals" or "globular molecules", which have very low entropy of melting as that of metals. According to Jackson's theory proposed in 1958, entropy of phase transformation will determine whether the phase interface morphology is smooth or rough in atomic scale, which will lead to faceted or nonfacted phase interface in mi- croscopic and macroscopic scales. Succinonitrile (SCN) and its alloys with water, ethanol, acetone, and NH4C1-H:O solution are most commonly used as transparent model materials for solidification researches of dendritic growth, anisotropy of solid-liquid interfacial energy, crystal nucleation, crystal grain formation, directional solidification, eutectic and peritectic so- lidification, solidification defects formation such as bubble, hot tearing, etc. Among these researches, the most impressive work was the critical test of dendritic growth theories with high purity succinonitrile by Glicksman et al., which gave positive answer to the Ivantsov's analysis and negative answer to the ad hoc condition of the maximum velocity hypothesis. The future researches with transparent model materials could be suggested in three aspects: 1) accurate measurement of material proper- ties and alloy phase diagrams in more plastic crystals, especially to find more transparent eutectic and peritectic alloys; 2) accurate measurement of the grain boundary groove shape to obtain precise data of the anisotropy parameters of the interfacial free energy in transparent model materials; 3) to get clear pictures of solidification processes with morphology details in a rela- tively large area, with continuous movement of liquid and particles, in order to give experimental support to numerical simula- tions aimming at accurate description of microstructure formation during solidification of multicomponent alloys under complex conditions of real casting and welding processes.展开更多

The effects of the anisotropy and magnetic field for the quantum fidelity are studied in detail The zero temperature limit and the features of the nonzero temperature for this nonclassical fdelity are obtained. We find that the quantum teleportation demands more stringent conditions than the therma/ entanglement of the resource by investigating the threshold temperature of the thermal concurrence and the criticai temperature of the maximai teleportation fidelity. The useful quantum teleportation should avoid the point of the phase transition of the system and the anisotropy of the chain and the external magnetic field can control the applicability of the resource in the quantum teleportation.展开更多
