At that time, a small percentage of the vacuum energy was converted into neutron/antineutron pairs with a very small excess of neutrons. This process was regulated by an imprint that was established in the vacuum during an initial Plank-era inflation. Immediately after their inception, annihilation and charge exchange reactions proceeded at a very high rate and ran to completion after an interval of about 10<sup>-11</sup> s. By then, all the antibaryons had disappeared thereby establishing the matter/antimatter asymmetry of the universe. What remained were very high densities of mesons and leptons, somewhat lower densities of protons and neutrons, and finally, the very high density of photons that eventually became the CMB. The density of matter so created varied from one location to another in such a manner as to account for all cosmic structures and because the energy density of the photons varied in proportion to that of the matter, the CMB-to-be came into existence with an anisotropic spectrum already in place. For structures, the size of galaxy clusters, the initial anisotropy magnitudes were on the order of 25%. In this paper, we will follow the subsequent evolution of the photons and show that this model predicts with accuracy the temperature of the warmest anisotropies in the observed CMB spectrum. .展开更多

Methodology: Data from more than two hundred subjects were studied retrospectively. A DXA (GE Lunar Prodigy) scan of the forearm was performed on each subject to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) value at the location of ultra-distal radius, and an X-ray digital image of the same forearm was taken on the same day. The values of trabecular bone score along the direction perpendicular to the forearm, TBS<sub>x</sub>, and along the direction parallel to the forearm, TBS<sub>y</sub>, were calculated respectively. The statistics of TBS<sub>x</sub> and TBS<sub>y</sub> were calculated, and the anisotropy of the trabecular bone, which was defined as the ratio of TBS<sub>y</sub> to TBS<sub>x</sub> and changed with subjects’ BMD and age, was reported and analyzed. Results: The results show that the correlation coefficient between TBS<sub>x</sub> and TBS<sub>y</sub> was 0.72 (p BMD and age was reported. The results showed that decreased trabecular bone anisotropy was associated with deceased BMD and increased age in the subject group. Conclusions: This study shows that decreased trabecular bone anisotropy was associated with decreased BMD and increased age.展开更多

文摘With an extension of the geological entropy concept in porous media,the approach called directional entrogram is applied to link hydraulic behavior to the anisotropy of the 3D fracture networks.A metric called directional entropic scale is used to measure the anisotropy of spatial order in different directions.Compared with the traditional connectivity indexes based on the statistics of fracture geometry,the directional entropic scale is capable to quantify the anisotropy of connectivity and hydraulic conductivity in heterogeneous 3D fracture networks.According to the numerical analysis of directional entrogram and fluid flow in a number of the 3D fracture networks,the hydraulic conductivities and entropic scales in different directions both increase with spatial order(i.e.,trace length decreasing and spacing increasing)and are independent of the dip angle.As a result,the nonlinear correlation between the hydraulic conductivities and entropic scales from different directions can be unified as quadratic polynomial function,which can shed light on the anisotropic effect of spatial order and global entropy on the heterogeneous hydraulic behaviors.

文摘Based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert(LLG)equation,the precession relaxation of magnetization is studied when the external field H is parallel to the uniaxial anisotropic field H_(k).The evolution of three-component magnetization is solved analytically under the condition of H=nH_(k)(n=3,1 and 0).It is found that with an increase of H or a decrease of the initial polar angle of magnetization,the relaxation time decreases and the angular frequency of magnetization increases.For comparison,the analytical solution for H_(k)=0 is also given.When the magnetization becomes stable,the angular frequency is proportional to the total effective field acting on the magnetization.The analytical solutions are not only conducive to the understanding of the precession relaxation of magnetization,but also can be used as a standard model to test the numerical calculation of LLG equation.
文摘Background: When applied to trabecular bone X-ray images, the anisotropic properties of trabeculae located at ultra-distal radius were investigated by using the trabecular bone scores (TBS) calculated along directions parallel and perpendicular to the forearm. Methodology: Data from more than two hundred subjects were studied retrospectively. A DXA (GE Lunar Prodigy) scan of the forearm was performed on each subject to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) value at the location of ultra-distal radius, and an X-ray digital image of the same forearm was taken on the same day. The values of trabecular bone score along the direction perpendicular to the forearm, TBS<sub>x</sub>, and along the direction parallel to the forearm, TBS<sub>y</sub>, were calculated respectively. The statistics of TBS<sub>x</sub> and TBS<sub>y</sub> were calculated, and the anisotropy of the trabecular bone, which was defined as the ratio of TBS<sub>y</sub> to TBS<sub>x</sub> and changed with subjects’ BMD and age, was reported and analyzed. Results: The results show that the correlation coefficient between TBS<sub>x</sub> and TBS<sub>y</sub> was 0.72 (p BMD and age was reported. The results showed that decreased trabecular bone anisotropy was associated with deceased BMD and increased age in the subject group. Conclusions: This study shows that decreased trabecular bone anisotropy was associated with decreased BMD and increased age.

文摘Shear wave splitting(SWS)is regarded as the most effective geophysical method to delineate mantle flow fields by detecting seismic azimuthal anisotropy in the earth's upper mantle,especially in tectonically active regions such as subduction zones.The Aleutian-Alaska subduction zone has a convergence rate of approximately 50 mm/yr,with a trench length reaching nearly 2800 km.Such a long subduction zone has led to intensive continental deformation and numerous strong earthquakes in southern and central Alaska,while northern Alaska is relatively inactive.The sharp contrast makes Alaska a favorable locale to investigate the impact of subduction on mantle dynamics.Moreover,the uniqueness of this subduction zone,including the unusual subducting type,varying slab geometry,and atypical magmatic activity and composition,has intrigued the curiosity of many geoscientists.To identify different sources of seismic anisotropy beneath the Alaska region and probe the influence of a geometrically varying subducting slab on mantle dynamics,extensive SWS analyses have been conducted in the past decades.However,the insufficient station and azimuthal coverage,especially in early studies,not only led to some conflicting results but also strongly limited the in-depth investigation of layered anisotropy and the estimation of anisotropy depth.With the completion of the Transportable Array project in Alaska,recent studies have revealed more detailed mantle structures and characteristics based on the dense station coverage and newly collected massive seismic data.In this study,we review significant regional-and continental-scale SWS studies in the Alaska region and conclude the mantle flow fields therein,to understand how a geometrically varying subducting slab alters the regional mantle dynamics.The summarized mantle flow mechanisms are believed to be conducive to the understanding of seismic anisotropy patterns in other subduction zones with a complicated tectonic setting.

文摘A failure criterion fully considering the anisotropy and hydration of shale is essential for shale formation stability evaluation.Thus,a novel failure criterion for hydration shale is developed by using Jaeger’s shear failure criterion to describe the anisotropy and using the shear strength reduction caused by clay minerals hydration to evaluate the hydration.This failure criterion is defined with four parameters in Jaeger’s shear failure criterion(S_(1),S_(2),a andφ),three hydration parameters(k,ω_(sh)andσ_(s))and two material size parameters(d and l0).The physical meanings and determining procedures of these parameters are described.The accuracy and applicability of this failure criterion are examined using the published experimental data,showing a cohesive agreement between the predicted values and the testing results,R^(2)=0.916 and AAREP(average absolute relative error percentage)of 9.260%.The error(|D_(p)|)is then discussed considering the effects ofβ(angle between bedding plane versus axial loading),moisture content and confining pressure,presenting that|Dp|increases whenβis closer to 30°,and|D_(p)|decreases with decreasing moisture content and with increasing confining pressure.Moreover,|D_(p)|is demonstrated as being sensitive to S1and being steady with decrease in the data set whenβis 0°,30°,45°and 90°.

文摘The northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau is a region where different tectonic blocks collide and intersect,and large earthquakes are frequent.Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)observations show that tectonic deformation in this region is strong and manifests as non-uniform deformation associated with tectonic features.S-wave splitting studies of near-field seismic data show that seismic anisotropy parameters can also reveal the upper crustal medium deformation beneath the reporting station.In this paper,we summarize the surface deformation from GNSS observations and crustal deformation from seismic anisotropy data in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau.By comparing the principal compressive strain direction with the fast S-wave polarization direction of near-field S-wave splitting,we analyzed deformation and its differences in surface and upper crustal media in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau and adjacent areas.The principal compressive strain direction derived from GNSS is generally consistent with the polarization direction of fast S-waves,but there are also local tectonic regions with large differences between them,which reflect the different deformation mechanisms of regional upper crustal media.The combination of GNSS and seismic anisotropy data can reveal the depth variation characteristics of crustal deformation and deepen understanding of three-dimensional crustal deformation and the deep dynamical mechanisms underlying it.it.

文摘The spatial distribution of vortex bound states is often anisotropic,which is correlated with the underlying property of materials.In this work,we examine the effects of Fermi surface anisotropy on vortex bound states.The large-scale calculation of vortex bound states is introduced in the presence of fourfold or twofold Fermi surface by solving the Bogoliubov–de Gennes(BdG)equations.Two kinds of quasiparticles’behaviors can be extracted from the local density of states(LDOS)around a vortex.The angle-dependent quasiparticles will move from high energy to low energy when the angle varies from curvature maxima to minima of the Fermi surface,while the angle-independent quasiparticles tend to stay at a relatively higher energy.In addition,the weight of angle-dependent quasiparticles can be enhanced by the increasing anisotropy degree of Fermi surface.

文摘The tensile properties of 2297-T87 Al–Li alloy thick plates at different thickness position and in different direction were analyzed via tensile testing,optical microscopy(OM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometry(EDS),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Results indicated that the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)and yield strength(YS)of the alloy decreased firstly and then increased from the 1/8T position to the 1/2T position,whereas elongation to failure(Ef)decreased gradually such that its value along the rolling direction(RD)was higher than those along the transverse direction(TD)at the same thickness position.From the 1/8T position to the 3/8T position of the alloy,the UTS and YS along the TD were higher than those along the RD.At the 1/2T position of the alloy,the UTS,YS,and Ef along the RD were the highest,whereas those along the normal direction(ND)were the lowest.Microstructural observations further revealed that the anisotropy of tensile properties was related to grain morphology,crystal texture,second-phase particles,and Li atom segregation.

文摘Two-dimensional van der Waals magnetic materials are of great current interest for their promising applications in spintronics.Using density functional theory calculations in combination with the maximally localized Wannier functions method and the magnetic anisotropy analyses,we study the electronic and magnetic properties of MnPSe_(3)monolayer.Our results show that it is a charge transfer antiferromagnetic(AF)insulator.For this Mn^(2)+3d^(5)system,although it seems straightforward to explain the AF ground state using the direct exchange,we find that the nearly 90oMn-Se-Mn charge transfer type superexchange plays a dominant role in stabilizing the AF ground state.Moreover,our results indicate that,although the shape anisotropy favors an out-of-plane spin orientation,the spin-orbit coupling(SOC)leads to the experimentally observed in-plane spin orientation.We prove that the actual dominant contribution to the magnetic anisotropy comes from the second-order perturbation of the SOC,by analyzing its distribution over the reciprocal space.Using the AF exchange and anisotropy parameters obtained from our calculations,our Monte Carlo simulations give the Néel temperature T_(N)=47 K for MnPSe_(3)monolayer,which agrees with the experimental 40 K.Furthermore,our calculations show that under a uniaxial tensile(compressive)strain,Néel vector would be parallel(perpendicular)to the strain direction,which well reproduces the recent experiments.We also predict that T_(N)would be increased by a compressive strain.

文摘As a prototypical half-metallic ferromagnet,La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_(3)(LSMO)has been extensively studied due to its versatile physical properties and great potential in spintronic applications.However,the weak perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA)limits the controllability and detection of magnetism in LSMO,thus hindering the realization of oxide-based spintronic devices with low energy consumption and high integration level.Motivated by this challenge,we develop an experimental approach to enhance the PMA of LSMO epitaxial films.By cooperatively introducing 4d Ru doping and a moderate compressive strain,the maximum uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in Ru-doped LSMO can reach 3.0×10^(5)J/m^(3)at 10 K.Furthermore,we find a significant anisotropic magnetoresistance effect in these Ru-doped LSMO films,which is dominated by the strong PMA.Our findings offer an effective pathway to harness and detect the orientations of magnetic moments in LSMO films,thus promoting the feasibility of oxide-based spintronic devices,such as spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions.

文摘Elastic anisotropy of shales is critical to accurate constraints for rock physical models,quantitative interpretation and hydraulic fracturing.However,the causes of elastic anisotropy of shales are very complicated,and the understanding of how multiple influence factors affect the elastic anisotropy of shales is still not clear.Hence,the orthogonal experiment,as an effective multiple factors experimental method,is adopted in this study to analyze the effect of multiple factors for shale elastic anisotropy.Three factors,clay content,organic matter(OM)content and compaction stress are selected as independent variables,the orthogonal test table L_(16)(4^(3))with four levels for each factor is adopted.According to the designed orthogonal table,sixteen artificial shales are constructed based on the cold-pressing method,and all the dry artificial shales are measured by the ultrasonic measurements.The influence of each factor on the elastic anisotropy and the sensitivity orders of three factors are obtained using the range analysis.The orders of sensitivity for selected factors follow the sequence clay content>compaction stress>OM content for velocity anisotropy parameters.The compaction mechanism of artificial shales is also discussed by the compaction factor,which are positively correlated with the velocity anisotropy parameters.The clay platelets orientation distribution function(ODF)of samples is evaluated by a theoretical model,the ODF coefficients are significantly affected by the clay content and compaction stress,and W200 are much more sensitive to these factors than W400.The results can provide a critical rock physics basis for quantitative interpretation and reservoir prediction of the low-maturity or maturity shale reservoir.

文摘We systematically investigated the Ni and Co thickness-dependent perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA)coefficient,magnetic domain structures,and magnetization dynamics of Pt(5 nm)/[Co(t_(Co))/Ni(t_(Ni))]_(5)/Pt(1 nm)multilayers by combining the four standard magnetic characterization techniques.The magnetic-related hysteresis loops obtained from the field-dependent magnetization M and anomalous Hall resistivity(AHR)ρxy showed that the two serial multilayers with t_(Co)=0.2 nm and 0.3 nm have the optimum PMA coefficient K_(U) as well as the highest coercivity H_(C) at the Ni thickness t_(Ni)=0.6 nm.Additionally,the magnetic domain structures obtained by magneto-optic Kerr effect(MOKE)microscopy also significantly depend on the thickness and K_(U) of the films.Furthermore,the thickness-dependent linewidth of ferromagnetic resonance is inversely proportional to K_(U) and H_(C),indicating that inhomogeneous magnetic properties dominate the linewidth.However,the intrinsic Gilbert damping constant determined by a linear fitting of the frequency-dependent linewidth does not depend on the Ni thickness and K_(U).Our results could help promote the PMA[Co/Ni]multilayer applications in various spintronic and spin-orbitronic devices.

文摘The competition between different magnetic structures in hole-doped Fe-pnicitides is explored based on an extended five-orbital Hubbard model including long-range Coulomb interactions.Our results show that the stabilized magnetic structure evolves with increasing hole doping level.Namely,the stripe antiferromagnetic phase dominates at zero doping,while magnetic structures with more antiferromagnetic linking numbers such as the staggered tetramer,staggered trimer,and staggered dimer phases become energetically favorable as the hole density increases.At a certain doping level,energy degeneracy of different magnetic structures appears,indicating strong magnetic frustration and magnetic fluctuations in the system.We suggest that the magnetic competition induced by the hole doping may explain the fast decrease of the Neel temperature TNand the moderately suppressed magnetic moment in the hole doped Fe-pnicitides.Moreover,our results show a sign reversal of the kinetic energy anisotropy as the magnetic ground state evolves,which may be the mechanism behind the puzzling sign reversal of the in-plane resistivity anisotropy in hole-doped Fe-pnicitides.
文摘This paper introduced a novel microstructure-based constitutive model designed to comprehensively characterize the intricate mechanical behavior of anisotropic clay rocks under the influence of water saturation.The proposed model encompasses elastoplastic deformation,time-dependent behavior,and induced damage.A two-step homogenization process incorporates mineral compositions and porosity to determine the macroscopic elastic tensor and plastic yield criterion.The model also considers interfacial debonding between the matrix and inclusions to capture rock damage.The application of the proposed model is demonstrated through an analysis of Callovo-Oxfordian clayey rocks,specifically in the context of radioactive waste disposal in France.Model parameters are determined,followed by numerical simulations of various laboratory tests including lateral decompression tests with constant mean stress,triaxial compression tests under different water saturation conditions,and creep tests.The numerical results are compared with corresponding experimental data to assess the efficacy of the proposed model.

文摘Anisotropy is an important feature of layered materials,and a large anisotropy is usually related to the two-dimensional charac teristics.We investigated the anisotropy of the layered transition metal dicalcogenide 2H-NbSe_(2)in the superconducting and charge density wave(CDW)states using magnetotransport measurements.In the superconducting state,the normalized H_(c2)^(‖c)/H_(p)is independent of the thickness of 2H-NbSe_(2),while H_(c2)^(‖ab)/H_p increases significantly with decreasing thickness,where H_p is the Pauli limiting magnetic field and H_(c2)^(‖c)anu H_(c2)^(‖ab)are the upper critical fields in the c and ab directions,respectively.It is found that the superconducting anisotropy parameterγH_(c2)=H_(c2)^(‖ab)/H_(c2)^(‖c)increases with reduction in the thickness of 2H-NbSe_(2).In the CDW state,the angular(θ)dependence of magnetoresistance,R(H,θ)scales with H(cos^(2)θ+γ_(CDW)^(-2)sin^(2)θ)^(1/2),which decreases with increasing temperature and disappears at about 40 K.It is found that the CDW anisotropy parameterγ_(CDW)is much larger than the effective mass anisotropy but does not change a lot for ultrathin and bulk samples.Our results suggest the existence of three-dimensional superconductivity and quasi-two dimensional CDWs in bulk 2H-NbSe_(2).
