The effects of modulation period on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties were investigated by EDXA, XRD, HRTEM and nano-indentation. The results reveal that the VC/TiC superlattice films form an epitaxial structure when their modulation period is less than a critical value, accompanied with a remarkable increase in hardness. Further increasing the modulation period, the hardness of superlattices decreases slowly to the rule-of-mixture value due to the destruction of epitaxial structures. The XRD results reveal that three-directional strains are generated in superlattices when the epitaxial structure is formed, which may change the modulus of constituent layers. This may explain the remarkable hardness enhancement of VC/TiC superlattices.展开更多

Specimens were shear spun on an industrial spinning machine using different mandrels, providing reductions of wall thickness of 30%, 50% and 68%. The grain structure developed during shear spinning refines gradually. The grains elongate in axial direction with increase of reduction, and also stretches along circumferencial direction. Optimal combination of strength and elongation is observed. This is attributed to grain refinement and dislocation reactions with particles and atoms of Mg and Mn in solid solution.展开更多

Electricmagnetic Finite Element Method (FEM) software ANSOFF-Maxwell is employed to analyze the fringe effect of a grid strip capacitor. The analysis includes capacitance changes with change of overlap length, overlap width, plate thickness, grid strip density etc. The results show that fringe effect leads to non-linear change of grid strip capacitance with the change of overlap length and width, that the capacitance increases with the increase of grid strip width and plate thickness, and that sensitivity can be improved through the increase of grid strip density in the condition of identical total overlap area, but linearity is reduced.展开更多

This study presents new δ18O results from southeast Tibetan Plateau along two transects, the Zayu transect and the Lhasa-Nyang transect, with δ18O data from June to September representative of monsoon period and δ18O data during the rest of the year of non-monsoon period. Altitude effect outweighs the longitude and latitude effects in determining regional δ18O variation spatially. Relevant δ18O data from previous studies in the nearby region have also been combined to comprehensively understand the influence of different moisture sources on δ18O from local scale to regional scale. The δ18O in surface water in the southeast Tibetan Plateau and its nearby regions influenced by the Indian summer monsoon shows that single dominant moisture source or simple moisture sources lead to smaller altitudinal lapse rate, whilst growing contributions from local convection to precipitation enlarge δ18O-altitude rate. It thereupon reveals the significance of the Indian summer monsoon to the altitude effect of δ18O in surface water, and the complicated effect of local convection or westerlies evolution to the variation of altitudinal lapse rate. Paleo-monsoon evolution therefore should be considered when altitude effect is applied to paleo-elevation reconstruction for the Tibetan Plateau.展开更多

文摘We investigate theoretically the temperature effects on the evolutions of both bright and dark screening spatial solitons in biased two-photon photorefractive crystals.For a stable bright or dark two-photon screening spatial soliton originally formed in a crystal at a given temperature,when the crystal temperature changes,it will evolve into another stable screening soliton if the temperature change is quite small,while it will become unstable or break down if the temperature change is large enough.The spatial shape of a stable two-photon screening spatial soliton can be changed by appropriately adjusting the crystal temperature.
