Electrical conductivity of molten LiF-DyF3-Dy2O3-Cu2O system for Dy-Cu intermediate alloy production

Dy-Cu intermediate alloys have shown substantial potential in the field of magnetostrictive and magnetic refrigerant materials. Therefore, this study focused on investigating the electrical conductivity of molten-salt systems for the preparation of Dy-Cu alloys and on optimizing the corresponding operating parameters. The electrical conductivity of molten LiF-DyF₃-Dy₂O₃-Cu₂O systems was measured from 910 to 1030℃ using the continuously varying cell constant method. The dependencies of the LiF-DyF₃-Dy₂O₃-Cu₂O system conductivity on the melt composition and temperature were examined herein. The optimal operating conditions for Dy-Cu alloy production were determined via analyses of the electrical conductivity and activation energies for conductance, which were calculated using the Arrhenius equation. The conductivity of the molten system regularly increases with increasing temperature and decreases with increasing concentration of Dy₂O₃ or Cu₂O or both. The activation energy E_κ of the LiF-DyF₃-Dy₂O₃ and LiF-DyF₃-Cu₂O molten-salt systems increases with increasing Dy₂O₃ or Cu₂O content. The regression functions of conductance as a function of temperature (t) and the addition of Dy₂O₃ (W(Dy₂O₃)) and Cu₂O (W(Cu₂O)) can be expressed as κ=-2.08435 + 0.0068t-0.18929W(Dy₂O₃)-0.07918W(Cu₂O). The optimal electrolysis conditions for preparing the Dy-Cu alloy in LiF-DyF₃-Dy₂O₃-Cu₂O molten salt are determined to be 2.0wt% ≤ W(Dy₂O₃) + W(Cu₂O) ≤ 3.0wt% and W(Dy₂O₃):W(Cu₂O)=1:2 at 970 to 1000℃.

基于Gossip算法的无线传感器网络时间同步

将Gossip算法用于实现无线传感网络的分布式时间同步,提出单Gossip同步算法和多Gossip同步算法,解决传统无线传感器网络时间同步算法中存在的计算复杂度高和同步收敛速度慢等问题.单Gossip同步算法首先利用构造生成树算法得到一个生成树,然后,依次对生成树每条边的两节点时钟信息进行Gossip运算,反复循环,最终可使网络各节点的时钟信息收敛于它们初始时钟信息的平均值.多Gossip同步算法对生成树进行边染色,相同染色的边可以同时进行Gossip运算.这2种同步算法减小了消息交换数,降低了计算复杂度,提高了同步的收敛速度.用随机矩阵理论和图论进行了理论证明,通过计算机仿真对理论分析进行了数据验证.

为探索高速公路出口事故发生的关键诱因,依托美国佛罗里达州24条高速公路上405个出口匝道的历史事故和道路交通数据,验证了出口匝道事故服从于对数正态分布.以匝道交通量、匝道长度和设计一致性(分别以平均半径、曲率变化率、运行速度差和运行速度变化率度量)为解释变量,以2004—2006年间事故数为因变量,建立了4个泊松对数正态事故预测模型,其中以速度变化率表征设计一致性的事故预测模型具有最好的拟合度.基于最优拟合度模型的弹性分析表明,运行速度变化率及匝道长度为关键因素;基于安全考虑,出口匝道速度变化率宜控制在20%以内,出口匝道极限最小长度不宜小于200 m,一般最小长度不宜小于400 m.     

Structural phase transition and metallization in compressed SrC_2

The structural, dynamical, and electronic properties of compressed Sr C2 were systematically investigated up to 200 GPa by using ab initio method. Three new phases are obtained by means of evolutionary algorithm. The confirmed most stable structure has C2/c symmetry at zero pressure, which transforms into an orthorhombic Cmcm phase at 4.5 GPa, followed by another orthorhombic Immm phase, which is stabilized at wide pressure range of 21.5–123.5 GPa, and then transformed into Mg B2-type phase（space group, P6/mmm）. Although Sr C2 has similar structural transformation to that of compressed Ca C2, Sr C2 holds small electron–phonon coupling,which leads to its low superconducting critical temperature（only 1.8 K）.     

Retrieval of column-averaged volume mixing ratio of CO2 with ground-based high spectral resolution solar absorption

The total column-averaged volume mixing ratio of atmospheric carbon dioxide （Xco2） has been retrieved with high spectral resolution solar absorption data obtained from ground-based Fourier transform spectrometer （FTS） measurements at Xichong, a coastal site in the district of Shenzhen in southern China. Based on differential optical absorption spectroscopy （DOAS） theory, the Xco2 was retrieved by finding the best match of observed high spectral resolution solar absorption data and monochromatic radia- tion transfer model calculations. The averaged Xco2 in the whole observation period was about 394.9 ppm. The uncertainty of the retrieval was estimated to be 2.0 ppm （0.51%） by comparing retrievals at two bands. The preliminary results show that Xc% retrieved by this method can be used to validate satellite remote sensing of Xco2.     

Effect of heating rate on the electrochemical performance of MnO X @CNF nanocomposites as supercapacitor electrodes

Carbon nanofibers （CNFs） and MnOjc@CNF nanocomposites （MCNFs） are fabricated by electrospin- ning and investigated as free-standing electrodes for sup- ercapacitor. This work presents the effect of heating rate during carbonization on the electrochemical behavior of the as-prepared MCNFs electrodes in 6 mol/L KOH elec-trolyte. Results show that the MCNFs electrodes carbon- ized by relatively slower heating rate exhibit higher specific capacitance. The electronic conductivity of the slow heated MCNFs electrodes is better than that of the fast heated electrodes due to the better crystallinity of the MnOx nanoparticles and the graphitic carbon layers forming on the surface of the Mn-loaded CNFs. These MCNFs electrodes demonstrate elevated rate capability and improved cycling performance without adding any polymer binder or electronic conductor.     

Research progress in ZnO single-crystal: growth,scientific understanding,and device applications

Zinc oxide, a wide band-gap semiconductor, has shown extensive potential applications in high-efficiency semiconductor photoelectronic devices, semiconductor photocatalysis, and diluted magnetic semiconductors. Due to the undisputed lattice integrity, ZnO single crystals are essential for the fabrication of high-quality ZnO-based photoelectronic devices, and also believed to be ideal research subjects for understanding the underlying mechanisms of semiconductor photocatalysis and diluted magnetic semiconductors. This review, which is organized in two main parts, introduces the recent progress in growth, basic characterization, and device development of ZnO single crystals, and some related works in our group. The first part begins from the growth of ZnO single crystal, and summarizes the fundamental and applied investigations based on ZnO single crystals. These works are composed of the fabrication of homoepitaxial ZnO-based photoelectronic devices, the research on the photocatalysis mechanism, and dilute magnetic mechanism. The second part describes the fabrication of highly thermostable n-type ZnO with high mobility and high electron concentration through intentional doping. More importantly, in this part, a conceptual approach for fabricating highly thermostable p-type ZnO materials with high mobility through an integrated three-step treatment is proposed on the basis of the preliminary research.     

An evaluation method of contribution rate based on fuzzy Bayesian networks for equipment system-of-systems architecture

The contribution rate of equipment system-of-systems architecture(ESoSA) is an important index to evaluate the equipment update, development, and architecture optimization.Since the traditional ESoSA contribution rate evaluation method does not make full use of the fuzzy information and uncertain information in the equipment system-of-systems(ESoS), and the Bayesian network is an effective tool to solve the uncertain information, a new ESoSA contribution rate evaluation method based on the fuzzy...     

Research on community detection algorithm based on site topic similarity and topology

Considering the deviation in content of community detection resulting from the low accuracy of resource relevance,an algorithm based on the topology of sites and the similarity between their topics is proposed. With topic content factors fully considered,this algorithm can search for topically similar site clusters on the premise of inter-site topology. The experimental results show that the algorithm can generate a more accurate result of detection in the real network.
