Preparation and luminescent properties of Rh6G-doped lamellar, hexagonal, and cubic mesostructured SiO2 waveguides

We successfully fabricated laser dye (Rh6G)-doped lamellar, hexagonal, and cubic mesostructured SiO₂ waveguides with a combined method of inorganic/organic co-assembly and soft-lithography. These mesostructured SiO₂ waveguide arrays were made on low-refractive index mesoporous SiO₂ clad films (the upper cladding is air), and waveguiding was confirmed for all samples. When pumping the waveguides with an excitation light at normal incidence, they exhibited a broad emission peak (yellow in color) below certain pumping intensity (pumping threshold), and above the threshold a sharp emission peak (orange in color) was observed from the end of the waveguides. The gain-narrowing is attributed to amplified spontaneous emission that results from the homogenous distribution of highly doped dye molecules (up to 0.8 mol%) within the organized mesochannels of the arrays. The pumping threshold values for the respective mesostructured waveguides are different from each other, increasing in the order of lamellar<hexagonal<cubic mesostructure.

高温下大理岩受压破坏的细观结构分析

探究高温对岩石的作用机制,对于解决高温岩石工程问题具有重要意义。利用日本日立公司制造S–3000 N扫描电子显微镜对在20 ℃,200 ℃,400 ℃,600 ℃,800 ℃高温作用下以及经历400 ℃,600 ℃和800 ℃高温作用冷却后受单轴压缩破坏的徐州大理岩进行表面元素分布测定、表面形貌观察和超微结构分析,以期在细观层次上对大理岩的受压变形、强度及破坏特性等做出机制性的解释。研究结果表明：常温下徐州大理岩的颗粒较为粗大,为典型解理开裂且部分颗粒内及颗粒间存在裂纹,温度升高至800 ℃时,岩样端口表面碎裂明显、颗粒变小且形态较为规整、部分区域内存在细长裂纹;高温下和高温后受压破坏的大理岩细观结构差异较大;800 ℃之前大理岩总体的质量百分比没有明显变化,温度达到800 ℃时大理岩各元素的质量百分比发生较大的变化,Ca元素的质量百分比急剧下降而Si元素的质量百分比迅速上升,说明其结构可能发生由晶态向非晶态的相转变,致使大理岩的力学指标骤降。

Numerical Studies on Stratified Rock Failure Based on Digital Image Processing Technique at Mesoscale

This paper investigates the failure behaviors of stratified rocks under uniaxial compression using a digital image processing (DIP) based finite difference method (FDM). The two-dimensional (2D) mesostructure of stratified rocks, represented as the internal spatial distribution of two main rock materials (marble and greenschist), is first identified with the DIP technique. And then the binaryzation image information is used to generate the finite difference grid. Finally, the failure behaviors of stratified rock samples are simulated by FDM considering the inhomogeneity of rock materials. In the DIP, an image segmentation algorithm based on seeded region growing (SRG) is proposed, instead of the traditional threshold value method. And with the new proposed image segmentation algorithm, the mesostructure of stratified rocks can be fully acquired. In the process of simulation, to sufficiently capture the inhomogeneity of stratified rocks, mechanical properties of each rock material are all characterized by the Weibull statistical manner. Several cases of stratified rocks with different homogeneity indices of rock materials have been discussed under two compression loading conditions considering the anisotropy of stratified rocks to some extent. Results from numerical simulations show that the inhomogeneity of stratified rocks arising from the presence of different rock materials has a great influence on the failure behaviors of stratified rocks and that the numerical failure behaviors of stratified rocks without confining stresses applied agree quite well with the general observations reported in the literature.     

Geometry Textures and Applications†

Geometry textures are a novel geometric representation for surfaces based on height maps. The visualization is done through a graphics processing unit (GPU) ray casting algorithm applied to the whole object. At rendering time, the fine‐scale details (mesostructures) are reconstructed preserving original quality. Visualizing surfaces with geometry textures allows a natural level‐of‐detail (LOD) behaviour. There are numerous applications that can benefit from the use of geometry textures. In this paper, besides a mesostructure visualization survey, we present geometry textures with three possible applications: rendering of solid models, geological surfaces visualization and surface smoothing.
