The Energy Origin of Mass

The concept of mass manifests in diverse forms, dimensions and configurations, and yet among all these manifestations, a unified origin is usually yearned for. This study aims to propose models that attribute the emergence of mass from fundamental quantities of physics, notably energy, space, and time. To this end, an operator is introduced, wherein these fundamental concepts serve as inputs, yielding functions that characterise mass. These functions are grounded in the domain of complex numbers, augmented by the incorporation of probabilistic elements, facilitating a nuanced depiction of mass modulation. Through investigation, it becomes apparent that a corollary energy field arises surrounding mass, facilitating its interactions within its surroundings. Ultimately, the comprehensive model of mass, inclusive of its associated field, gives rise to interactions with other masses, thereby engendering the genesis of larger and denser manifestations of mass, a phenomenon expounded within this framework.

Identifying the scope of the Lhasa Metropolitan Area based on a spatial field energy model

The cultivation and development of modern metropolitan areas with the aim of establishing new regional centers with competitive edge is a key objective for the new-type urbanization directions in China.The construction of the Lhasa Metropolitan Area is of great significance for the promotion of the South Asia Channel,the‘Belt and Road’initiative,the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor,the Himalaya Economic Cooperation Zone,and for rapid development and long-term stability of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.This paper examines the scope of the Lhasa Metropolitan Area including Chengguanqu(Chengguan District),Doilungdeqen,Dagze,Lhunzhub,Damxung,Nyemo,Quxu,Maizhokunggar,Samzhubze Qu(Samzhubze District),Gyangze,Rinbung,Bainang,Nedong,Gonggar,and Zhanang using a spatial field energy model that combines nodality and accessibility indices and considers multiple indicators including traffic flow between cities.By combining factors such as the natural background,population agglomeration,the social economy,infrastructure construction,and the urban spatial structure of the Lhasa Metropolitan Area,it is proposed to build a bow-and-arrow-shaped urban system with‘one core,two centers,one axis,and two wings’along the valleys and the transportation trunk lines of the area.The study advocates the construction of a pure land industrial system comprising a green cultural and tourism-oriented plateau.

Material,energy and spatial fields for metallogenic prediction:Theory and practice An example:Limu Sn polymetallic crisis mines

The Limu tin deposits located in the Nanling tin and tungsten-polymetallic ore belt are now facing resource depletion after decades of exploitation.Peripheral mineral exploration therefore has become an urgent task.Using mineral exploration around the Limu crisis mines as an example,we introduce a breakthrough method of how the three-field theory,i.e.,the material,energy and spatial fields,is applied to intensively studies areas,a history of years of mineral exploitation and complex ore-forming systems.Taking a cue from Limu regional metallogeny,we based our investigation on the metallogenic information from geology,geophysics,geochemistry and remote sensing.We conducted our study of the three-field integrated information system,associated with metallogenic prognoses from deposits,with assignments and calculations which correct and allocate synthetic metallogenic prognosis by relying on GIS.We submitted a synthetic metallogenic prognosis map of tin in Limu where we delineated three ore target areas.A breakthrough was achieved by finding about 4785 t of tin metal outside the Shiziling deposit,which has been confirmed by drilling.The successful application in Limu shows that this three-field theory is of scientific and practical importance and deserves to be extended to utilization.

Statistical analysis on energy field of seismicity in Ningxia and its neighborhood region

The random function theory is used in the paper. Taking the regional seismicity energy as the random function of space and time, the features of small seismicity field in Ningxia and its neighborhood region are studied by the analytical method of natural orthogonal function expansion. The chief part of the field, i.e., the temporal changes of time weight coefficients of first several typical fields is analyzed. We have found that their values had upward and downward changes of a large amplitude before moderate-strong earthquakes and showed variation features correlating to moderate-strong earthquakes occurred in the region and its surrounding areas. From the earthquake examples in Ningxia region, we can make the conclusion that the method of natural orthogonal function expansion of earthquake energy stochastic field is an earthquake analysis and prediction method that is worth further exploration.

Simulation of facet dendrite growth with strong interfacial energy anisotropy by phase field method

Numerical simulations based on a new regularized phase-field model were presented, to simulate the solidification of hexagonal close-packed materials with strong interfacial energy anisotropies. Results show that the crystal grows into facet dendrites,displaying six-fold symmetry. The size of initial crystals has an effect on the branching-off of the principal branch tip along the<100> direction, which is eliminated by setting the b/a(a and b are the semi-major and semi-minor sizes in the initial elliptical crystals, respectively) value to be less than or equal to 1. With an increase in the undercooling value, the equilibrium morphology of the crystal changes from a star-like shape to facet dendrites without side branches. The steady-state tip velocity increases exponentially when the dimensionless undercooling is below the critical value. With a further increase in the undercooling value, the equilibrium morphology of the crystal grows into a developed side-branch structure, and the steady-state tip velocity of the facet dendrites increases linearly. The facet dendrite growth has controlled diffusion and kinetics.

The Analytical Potential Energy Function of NH Radical Molecule in External Electric Field

The geometric structures of an Nit radical in different external electric fields are optimized by using the density functional B3P86/cc-PVSZ method, and the bond lengths, dipole moments, vibration frequencies and IR spectrum are obtained. The potential energy curves are gained by the CCSD （T） method with the same basis set. These results indicate that the physical property parameters and potential energy curves may change with the external electric field, especially in the reverse direction electric field. The potential energy function of zero field is fitted by the Morse potential, and the fitting parameters are in good accordance with the experimental data. The potential energy functions of different external electric fields are fitted adopting the constructed potential model. The fitted critical dissociation electric parameters are shown to be consistent with the numerical calculation, and the relative errors are only 0.27% and 6.61%, hence the constructed model is reliable and accurate. The present results provide an important reference for further study of the molecular spectrum, dynamics and molecular cooling with Stark effect.

Electrically Tunable Energy Bandgap in Dual-Gated Ultra-Thin Black Phosphorus Field Effect Transistors

The energy bandgap is an intrinsic character of semiconductors, which largely determines their properties. The ability to continuously and reversibly tune the bandgap of a single device during real time operation is of great importance not only to device physics but also to technological applications. Here we demonstrate a widely tunable bandgap of few-layer black phosphorus （BP） by the application of vertical electric field in dual-gated BP field-effect transistors. A total bandgap reduction of 124 meV is observed when the electrical displacement field is increased from 0.10 V/nm to 0.83 V/nm. Our results suggest appealing potential for few-layer BP as a tunable bandgap material in infrared optoelectronies, thermoelectric power generation and thermal imaging.

Variation of the Energy Field of Longmenshan Fault Zone before the Wenchuan M_S 8. 0 Earthquake

During the process of preparation and occurrence of a large earthquake, the stress-strain state along the fault zone has close relation with the weak seismicity around the fault zone. The seismic energy release near the fault zone before an earthquake can better reflect the dynamic process of earthquake preparation. Thus, in this paper, the method of natural orthogonal function expansion has been adopted to discuss the time variation about the energy field of the seismic activity along the Longmenshan fault zone before the Wenchuan MsS. 0 earthquake, 2008. The results show that evident short-term rise changes appeared in the time factors of the typical field corresponding to several key eigenvalues of the energy field along the Longmenshan fault zone before the Wenchuan earthquake, probably being the short-term anomaly message for this earthquake. Through contrastive analysis of earthquake examples such as the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, the authors think that the study of time variation of energy field of seismicity along active fault zone will be helpful for conducting intentional and intensive earthquake monitoring and forecast in active fault regions with high seismic risk based on medium- and long-term earthquake trend judgment.

Interaction of Gravitational field and Brans-Dicke field in R/W universe containing Dark Energy like fluid

On studying some new models of Robertson-Walker universes with a Brans-Dicke scalar field, it is found that most of these universes contain a dark energy like fluid which confirms the present scenario of the expansion of the universe. In one of the cases, the exact solution of the field equations gives a universe with a false vacuum, while in another it reduces to that of dust distribution in the Brans-Dicke cosmology when the cosmological constant is not in the picture. In one particular model it is found that the universe may undergo a Big Rip in the future, and thus it will be very interesting to investigate such models further.

Energy of the Gravitational Field as an Equivalent of the Dark Energy of the Universe

Determination of the structural foundations and parameters of the Universe is an important urgent task since it enables us to understand and explain the structure and basic parameters of the material world. Herewith, it is necessary to be aware of modern problems of physics and possible ways to solve them. Among such problems, hypotheses concerning dark matter and the energy of the Universe occupy an important place. However, the determination of their on the basis of modern theories still leads to abstract equations that do not give concrete results;therefore, they have a level of hypotheses. A number of initial scientific propositions based on this abstract of mathematical dependencies have controversial meanings. Elimination of this disadvantage is the main goal of the work performed. Its main difference and scientific novelty are the justification of the energy parameters of the gravitational field of the Universe, the magnitude of which can replace its dark energy and dark mass. The solution to this problem is justified by strict physical dependencies, which are obtained on the basis of fundamental physical constants. It is an urgent and important scientific and applied problem, since it develops knowledge about the gravitational field and the material world in general. The performed work is based on the methods of deduction and induction in the research of the material world based on the application of the well-known reliable laws of physics and the general principles of the development of the theory of knowledge. Other research methods are still unknown, since the work performed is associated with new scientific discoveries, the search for which is difficult to formalize by technique methods. The results of the study consist of the analysis of wave, force and energy parameters of the relict gravitational field of the Universe. The calculated value of this energy is 1.58 × 1070 J. This energy is enough to cover the amount of dark energy and mass in the Universe, which casts doubt on their existence. Conclusions: This paper can supplement previously performed research on the dark mass and energy of the Universe, which requires further for their reconciliation.

Estimation of biophysical properties of cell exposed to electric field

Excitable media,such as cells,can be polarized and magnetized in the presence of an external electromagnetic field.In fact,distinct geometric deformation can be induced by the external electromagnetic field,and also the capacitance of the membrane of cell can be changed to pump the field energy.Furthermore,the distribution of ion concentration inside and outside the cell can also be greatly adjusted.Based on the theory of bio-electromagnetism,the distribution of field energy and intracellular and extracellular ion concentrations in a single shell cell can be estimated in the case with or without external electric field.Also,the dependence of shape of cell on the applied electronic field is calculated.From the viewpoint of physics,the involvement of external electric field will change the gradient distribution of field energy blocked by the membrane.And the intracellular and extracellular ion concentration show a certain difference in generating timevarying membrane potential in the presence of electric field.When a constant electric field is applied to the cell,distinct geometric deformation is induced,and the cell triggers a transition from prolate to spherical and then to oblate ellipsoid shape.It is found that the critical frequency in the applied electric field for triggering the distinct transition from prolate to oblate ellipsoid shape obtains smaller value when larger dielectric constant of the cell membrane and intracellular medium,and smaller conductivity for the intracellular medium are used.Furthermore,the effect of cell deformation is estimated by analyzing the capacitance per unit area,the density of field energy,and the change of ion concentration on one side of cell membrane.The intensity of external applied electric field is further increased to detect the change of ion concentration.And the biophysical effect in the cell is discussed.So the deformation effect of cells in electric field should be considered when regulating and preventing harm to normal neural activities occurs in a nervous system.

Diffusion Mechanism of Energy Flow in Multi-heat-source Synthesis of SiC

Through the experiments and the numerical simulation of temperature field in multi-heatsource synthesis Si C furnace, in order to research the feature point in multi-heat-source synthesis furnace, the variation law of heat fl ux was studied and the multi-directional energy fl ow diffusion mechanism was revealed. The results show that, due to the shielding action between the heat-source and the superposition effect of thermal fields, the insulating effect is best in multi-heat-source synthesis furnace. The heat emission effect is good outside the common area between heat-sources, but the heat storage is poor. Compared with the synthesis furnace that heat source is parallelly arranged, the furnace of stereoscopic arrangement has a more obvious heat stacking effect and better heat preservation effect, but the air permeability of heat source connecting regions is worse. In the case with the same ingredients, the resistance to thermal diffusion and mass diffusion is higher in heat source connecting regions.

Performance-control-orientated hybrid metal additive manufacturing technologies:state of the art,challenges,and future trends

Metal additive manufacturing(AM)technologies have made significant progress in the basic theoretical field since their invention in the 1970s.However,performance instability during continuous processing,such as thermal history,residual stress accumulation,and columnar grain epitaxial growth,consistently hinders their broad application in standardized industrial production.To overcome these challenges,performance-control-oriented hybrid AM(HAM)technologies have been introduced.These technologies,by leveraging external auxiliary processes,aim to regulate microstructural evolution and mechanical properties during metal AM.This paper provides a systematic and detailed review of performance-control-oriented HAM technology,which is categorized into two main groups:energy field-assisted AM(EFed AM,e.g.ultrasonic,electromagnetic,and heat)technologies and interlayer plastic deformation-assisted AM(IPDed AM,e.g.laser shock peening,rolling,ultrasonic peening,and friction stir process)technologies.This review covers the influence of external energy fields on the melting,flow,and solidification behavior of materials,and the regulatory effects of interlayer plastic deformation on grain refinement,nucleation,and recrystallization.Furthermore,the role of performance-control-oriented HAM technologies in managing residual stress conversion,metallurgical defect closure,mechanical property improvement,and anisotropy regulation is thoroughly reviewed and discussed.The review concludes with an analysis of future development trends in EFed AM and IPDed AM technologies.

Finally, we summarize the previously reported work and put forward views on the further development of NC in the field of electrochemical energy storage.

An analytical solution for the elastic fields near spheroidal nano-inclusions

When the size of an inclusion shrinks to nanometers, interface energy plays an important role in the deformation around it. In the present paper, we consider the effect of interface energy on the elastic fields near a spheroidal nanoinclusion embedded in an elastic medium on the basis of surface elasticity theory. Using Boussinesq-Sadowsky potential function method, we obtain the deformation field near the inclusion subjected to a uniformly uniaxial loading at infinity. The results show that the elastic fields near the nano-inclusion depend strongly on the interface properties, the size and shape of inclusion. These new characteristics may be helpful to understand various relevant mechanical performances of nanosized inhomogeneities.

Fluid Dynamic Field in BozhongDepression, Bohai Bay Basin

The data from regional geology, boreholes, geophysics and tests are integrated to analyze the fluid dynamic field in the Bozhong depression, Bohai Bay basin. The current geothermal gradient is determined to be about 2.95 /100 m by integrating 266 drill-stem test (DST) measurements and comparing with the global average value. The paleogeothermal gradients are calculated from the homogenization temperatures of saline inclusions, which vary both laterally and vertically. The data from sonic logs, well tests and seismic velocities are used to investigate the pressure variations in the study area. The mudstone compaction is classified as three major types: normal compaction and normal pressure, under-compaction and overpressure, and past-compaction and under-overpressure. The current pressure profile is characterized by normal pressure, sight pressure and intense overpressure from top to bottom The faults, unconformity surfaces and interconnecting pores constitute a complex network of vertical and horizontal fluid flows within the depression. The fluid potential energy profiles present a 'double-deck' structure. The depocenters are the area of fluids supply, whereas the slopes and uplifts are the main areas of fluids charge.

Magnetpolaron effect in two-dimensional anisotropic parabolic quantum dot in a perpendicular magnetic field

We study the two-dimensional weak-coupling Frohlich polaron in a completely anisotropic quantum dot in a perpendicular magnetic field. By performing a unitary transformation, we first transform the Hamiltonian into a new one which describes an anisotropic harmonic oscillator with new mass and trapping frequencies interacting with the same phonon bath but with different interaction form and strength. Then employing the second-order Rayleigh–Schrodinger perturbation theory, we obtain the polaron correction to the ground-state energy. The magnetic field and anisotropic effects on the polaron correction to the ground-state energy are discussed.

Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Melting Points of Trans-1,4,5,8- tetranitro-1,4,5,8-tetraazadacalin （TNAD） with Some Propellants

Molecular dynamic simulation was employed to predict the melting points Tm of TNAD/HMX, TNAD/RDX, TNAD/DINA, and TNAD/DNP systems （tans-1,4,5,8- tetranitro-1,4,5,8-tetraazadacalin （TNAD）, dinitropiperazine （DNP）, cyclotetramethylenetetranitroamine （HMX）, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine （RDX）, and N-nitrodihydroxyethylaminedinitrate （DINA））. Tm was determined from the inflexion point on the curve of mean specific volume vs. temperature. The result shows that the Tm values of TNAD/HMX, TNAD/RDX, and TNAD/DINA systems are 500, 536, and 488 K, respectively. The TNAD/DNP system has no obvious Tm value, which shows the system is insoluble. Using Tm, the solubility of the four systems was analyzed. The radial distribution functions of the four systems were analyzed and the main intermolecular forces between TNAD and other energetic components are short-range interactions. The better the solubility is, the stronger the intermoleenlar interaction is. In addition, the force field energy at different temperature was also analyzed to predict Tm of the four systems.

Energy Field Adjustment and Hydrocarbon Phase Evolution in Sinian-Lower Paleozoic, Sichuan Basin

The Sinian-Lower Paleozoic （also called the lower association） in Sichuan （四川） basin has undergone geologic evolution for several hundred million years. The subsidence history of the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic can be divided into four stages： the stable subsidence during Cambrian and Silurian; the uplift and denudation during Devonian and Carboniferous; the subsidence （main process） during Permian to Late Cretaceous; and the rapid uplift and denudation since Late Cretaceous. The later two stages could be regarded as critical factors for the development of oil and gas in the lower association. The evolution of energy field such as temperature, pressure, and hydrocarbon phase in the lower association during the deep burial and uplift in the third stage might be induced as follows： （1） super-high pressure was developed during oil-cracking, previous super-high pressure was sustained, or changed as normal pressure during late uplift; （2） temperature increased with deep burial during persistent subsidence and decreased during uplift in late stage; （3） as a response to the change of the energy field, hydrocarbon phase experienced a series of changes such as organic material （solid）, oil （liquid）, oil-cracking gas （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ abnormal high pressure, gas cap gas with super-high pressure （gaseous） ＋ bitumen （solid） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid）, and gas in pool （gaseous） ＋ water soluble gas （liquid） ＋ bitumen （solid）. The restoration of hydrocarbon phase evolution is of important value for the exploration of natural gas in the Sinian-Lower Paleozoic in Sichuan basin.
