Amorphous Electrically Actuating Submicron Fiber Waveguides

Amorphous electrically actuating submicron fiber waveguides are promising building blocks for creating novel opto‐electromechanical devices. In this study, waveguiding and electrically actuating properties of the waveguides composed of racemic poly(lactic acid) and a dye are investigated. The fibers have mean diameters of <0.4 µm, and each fiber demonstrates subwavelength waveguiding with a loss coefficient of 1.5 × 10^?4–8.3 × 10^?4 µm^?1 at 0.63 µm wavelength. Light propagates with a near‐light speed group velocity between wavelengths of 0.59 and 0.63 µm, where the fraction of power inside the core is 0.13–0.28. The fiber mat thicknesses change in response to both the polarity and the magnitude of an applied voltage, similar to the inverse‐piezoelectric effect. The estimated values for both the apparent piezoelectric constant (29 000 × 10^?12 m V^?1) and Young's modulus (1.5 kPa) indicate a high degree of electricity actuation and a soft mat. Extremely small, soft, and electrically actuating waveguides can produce novel opto‐electromechanical devices.

对"均衡凝固技术"几个基本问题的讨论--球墨铸铁缩松、缩孔问题探讨(三)

就球铁件缩松、缩孔问题对“均衡凝固技术”几个基本问题进行讨论。指出作为该理论的基础的缩胀叠加图不完全符合实际情况；石墨化膨胀提前不利于消除缩松、缩孔。对薄小件缩松倾向大的原因、冒口是否应当靠近和离开铸件热节、是否可以早于铸件热节凝同、冷铁能否使膨胀提前，以及顶注的优点等问题提出不同的看法。认为按比例进行的均衡凝同不可能实现，而且依靠膨胀提前达到的均衡凝同对防止缩松、缩孔不利。     

电力变压器剩磁测量方法研究

为了进行电力变压器稳态剩磁的定量研究,提出了一种直流助磁模拟剩磁的间接测量方法,用来解决常规的磁通测量方法不能直接用于测量变压器分闸后的剩磁问题。通过变压器空载合闸后的励磁涌流第一峰值,借助直流励磁峰值曲线,得到相应直流磁化力。再通过变压器峰值磁化曲线导出相应的磁通,该磁通即为相应空投前的剩磁。最后通过物理模拟试验验证了该方法的可行性。该方法可以用于研究变压器铁芯的剩磁特性,也可以用于对剩磁估算结果的验证。     

Room‐Temperature Nonvolatile Memory Based on a Single‐Phase Multiferroic Hexaferrite

The cross‐coupling between electric polarization and magnetization in multiferroic materials provides a great potential for creating next‐generation memory devices. Current studies on magnetoelectric (ME) applications mainly focus on ferromagnetic/ferroelectric heterostructures because single‐phase multiferroics with strong magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature are still very rare. Here a type of nonvolatile memory device is presented solely based on a single‐phase multiferroic hexaferrite Sr₃Co₂Fe₂₄O₄₁ which exhibits nonlinear magnetoelectric effects at room temperature. The principle is to store binary information by employing the states (magnitude and sign) of the first‐order and the second‐order magnetoelectric coefficients (α and β), instead of using magnetization, electric polarization, and resistance. The experiments demonstrate repeatable nonvolatile switch of α and β by applying pulsed electric fields at room temperature, respectively. Such kind of memory device using single‐phase multiferroics paves a pathway toward practical applications of spin‐driven multiferroics.     

Au Catalyzed Carbon Diffusion in Ni: A Case of Lattice Compatibility Stabilized Metastable Intermediates

Nickel is a crucial catalyst for its excellent performance in active carbon atom–related catalysis such as hydrocarbon steam reforming and 1D carbon nanostructures preparation. The carbon diffusion activity in Ni is of critical importance in understanding the catalytic behavior and thereby the performance optimization. However, the carbonization process is still vague because of the hardly identified intermediates. In this paper, the metastable intermediates of nickel carbonization process are successfully stabilized by taking advantage of the epitaxial growth to elevate the structure transformation energy barrier. X‐ray diffraction, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, and synchrotron X‐ray absorption near edge structure data evidence the face‐centered cubic (fcc)? Ni _x C nature of the intermediates and thus an fcc? Ni _x C‐intermediated nickel carbonization process from fcc? Ni to hexagonal close‐packed (hcp)‐Ni₃C is revealed, which is also confirmed by the Vienna ab initio simulation package calculation from the viewpoint of energy evolution. To the best of the knowledge, it is the first time to report the identification of the fcc? Ni _x C. More importantly, the introduction of Au is found promoted the catalytic growth of graphitic carbon using either oleylamine or C₂H₄ as carbon resource. The Au@Ni‐based hybrid catalysts exhibit lower reaction temperature and much higher carbon output than pure Ni.
