Hydraulic simulation is one of the critical methods to research the filling mechanism of molten metal in the casting process. However, it only performs on test pieces with relatively simple structures due to the limitation of the preparation method. In this study, the method of photocuring additive manufacturing was used to prepare the complex casting mould from transparent photosensitive resin. The pouring test was carried out under different centrifugal conditions, and the filling process of the gating system, support bars and other positions in the vertical direction was recorded and analyzed. The experimental results show that the internal liquid level and the filling process of the test piece prepared by this method can be observed clearly. The angle between the liquid surface and the horizontal plane in the test piece gradually increases as the centrifugal rotational speed increases, which means the filling process is carried out from outside to inside at high rotational speed. The velocity of the fluid entering the runner increases with the increase of rotational speed, but the filling speeds is less affected by the centrifugal speed at other positions. The liquid flow is continuous and stable during the forward filling process, without splashing or interruption of liquid droplets.
0.25at.% Cr:YAG ceramics were successfully fabricated as the edge cladding of Yb:YAG transparent ceramic slabs through vacuum sintering of co‐precipitated powders, using oxide additives to introduce different cations. The effects of various cation additives (Si4+, Ca2+, and Si4+ + Ca2+) on the conversion efficiency of Cr4+ ions and optical characteristics of the Cr:YAG edge cladding were investigated. Measurements of the absorption spectra of the Cr:YAG ceramics without any additives revealed 2 absorption bands centered at 430 nm and 600 nm, which imparted the sample with a green color. The introduction of only Si4+‐bearing additive did not promote the transition of Cr ions from the 3+ to 4+ state. Theoretical analysis and experimentation revealed that the addition of CaO not only enhanced the microstructure and improved the transmittance of the Cr:YAG ceramic, but also introduced vacancies that assisted in the formation of Cr4+ ions. It was determined that CaO has the same effect on the conversion efficiency of Cr4+ ions whether it is added as a single additive or in combination with SiO2. The underlying mechanisms by which these aliovalent cation additives influence the formation of Cr4+ ions and affect optical properties are discussed in detail. High quality composite ceramics with Yb:YAG transparent ceramic slabs and dark brown‐colored Cr4+: YAG ceramic edge cladding were achieved through the addition of 0.05 wt.% CaO to the edge cladding, with no interfacial effects between the 2 regions being observed. 相似文献
The real-time scheduling and routing in dynamic transparent optical networks requires fast and accurate evaluation of transmission penalty caused by nonlinear kerr effects with different dispersion maps. However, the conventional method using nonlinear phase shift can only be applied to assess the nonlinear penalty with optimized dispersion maps. In this paper, we introduce pulse broadening factor into the approach and propose a novel method to accurately evaluate nonlinear penalty and numerically investigate the feasibility of our novel method in 40-Gb/s Return-to-Zero Differential Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (RZ-DQPSK) systems. Simulation results show that our approach can achieve good evaluation performance even with non-optimized dispersion maps. 相似文献
Controlling the efficiency of electron transport across oxide interfaces is essential for numerous emerging technologies including advanced photovoltaics and light emitting devices. This work illuminates the connections between granular structure, defect chemistry, and the work function of a technologically important transparent conductor, ZnO:Al. Visual evidence is provided for a model of grain boundary oxidation in the form of nanometer‐scale heterogeneity in the contact potential between grains and grain boundaries, a phenomenon referred to as electronic granularity. By correlating scanning probe data with photoemission spectroscopy we relate electronic granularity to defect chemistry and, importantly, account for the overall trends in work function. The resulting physical picture connects heterogeneity at the nanoscale to macroscopic properties, informs the design of transparent electrodes, and may be broadly relevant to granular oxide conductors. 相似文献
