The model is based on that of Roelvink (1993), but the numerical techniques used in the solution are based on the Weighted-Average Flux (WAF) method (Watson el al., 1992), with Time-Operator-Splitting (TOS) used for the treatment of the source terms. This method allows a small number of computational points to be used, and is particularly efficient in modeling wave set-up. The short wave (or primary wave) energy equation is solved by use of a more traditional Lax-Wendroff technique. A nonlinear wave theory (James, 1974) is introduced.

A general agreement of the present results is found with most of the available data. It is of great importance that we have been able to estimate the minimum IMFP, which corresponds to the peak of inelastic interactions of incident electrons in each solid investigated. New results are presented for SiO, for which no comparison is available. The present work is important in view of the lack of experimental data on the IMFP in solids.展开更多

The measured and calculated results show that the former has higher specular electron scattering (SES) parameter at MgO/NiFe interfaces, lower resistivity, and higher magnetoresistance (MR). The improved transport properties (TPs) are mainly attributed to the suppressed diffuse electron scattering by means of the introduction of NiFe nanoparticles.展开更多

The electron mean free path in metals at this temperature range is in inverse proportion to the effective density of randomly moving electrons, i.e. it is in inverse proportion both to the temperature, and to the density-of-states at the Fermi surface. The general relationships for estimation of the average diffusion coefficient, the average velocity, mean free length and average relaxation time of randomly moving electrons at the Fermi surface at temperatures above the Debye’s temperature are presented. The effective electron scattering cross-sections for different metals also are estimated. The calculation results of resistivity dependence on temperature in the range of temperature from 1 K to 900 K for Au, Cu, Mo, and Al also are presented and compared with the experimental data. Additionally in temperature range from 1 K to 900 K for copper, the temperature dependences of the mean free path, average diffusion coefficient, average drift mobility, average Hall mobility, average relaxation time of randomly moving electrons, and their resultant phonon mediated scattering cross-section are presented.展开更多

Remarkably different behaviours of the electron yields for LiF and MgF2 films are observed in a temperature range from 25 ℃ to 300 ℃. The electron yield of LiF is found to sharply increase with target temperature and to be saturated at about 175 ℃. But the target temperature has no effect on the electron yield of MgF2. It is also found that for the ion energies greater than 4 keV, the electron yield of 6LiF is consistently high as compared with that of 7LiF that may be due to the enhanced contribution of recoiling 6Li atoms to the secondary electron generation. A comparison between the electron yields of MgF2 and LiF reveales that above a certain ion energy the electron yield of MgF2 is considerably low as compared with that of LiF. We suggest that the short inelastic mean free path of electrons in MgF2 can be one of the reasons for its low electron yield.展开更多

In addition, in the case of component separation by molecular distillation, boiling point is replaced by evaporation rate at a given temperature. Several experiments and theoretical analyses have been carried out to identify the impact of important parameters （mean free path, evaporation rate, relative volatility and Knudsen number）, which determine the performance of these processes and degree of separation. In this work, a process development based on molecular distillation, for the enrichment of coffee diterpenes from green coffee oil is presented. The distillates were enriched in diterpene fatty acid esters and free fatty acids, while the residues were enriched in high molar mass triglycerides.展开更多

However, the criticality accident that occurred in JCO in 1999 suggests that one should carefully examine this accident from the nuclear physics point of view. Indeed the chain nuclear reactions should have taken place in the small area of space with 45 cm diameter disk times 30 cm height tank. In fact, when people carry the uranium nitrate solution into sedimentation tank, then this solution with uranium should get into the critical state at the 45? of uranium nitrate solution. The root cause of the accident should not be very simple from the nuclear physics point, and it should be quite important to examine why the uranium nitrate solution with 45? could have become critical.展开更多

At first, we give one simple model to deduce an expression which can describe the relationship of the optical property with the width of metallic wire grid. This expression could be used to calculate the reflectance of the metallic wire grid. We also give the corresponding computer simulation. Our simulation shows that the reflectance would increase when the width of metallic wire grid increase. The wider the metallic wire grid is, the higher the reflectance is. The reflectance would reach the maximum value only when the width is over the free path of electronic.展开更多

The isotope effect on the phonon behavior in graphene was investigated based on the micro-Raman analysis of 13 C isotope labeled graphene samples. We found that the phonon scattering is affected by the isotopic carbon atom as a point defect.

The results agree with the thermal conductivity measurement by non-contact optical method and with other theoretical calculations.展开更多

Porous structure can generally reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of bulk material, so porous YSZ can be potentially used as TBCs with better thermal performance. In this work, we investigate the thermal conductivity of nanoporous YSZ using the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics(NEMD) simulation, and comprehensively discuss the effects of cross-sectional area, pore size, structure length, porosity, Y_2O_3 concentration and temperature on the thermal conductivity. To compare with the results of the NEMD simulation, we solve the heat diffusion equation and the gray Boltzmann transport equation(BTE) to calculate the thermal conductivity of the same porous structure. From the results,we find that the thermal conductivity of YSZ has a weak dependence on the structure length at the length range from 10 to 26 nm, which indicates that the majority of heat carriers have very short mean free path(MFP) but there exists small percentage(about 3%) of phonons with longer MFP(larger than 10 nm) contributing to the thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity predicted by NEMD simulation is smaller than that of solving heat diffusion equation(diffusive limit) with the same porous structure. It shows that the presence of pores affects phonon scattering and further affects the thermal conductivity of nanoporous YSZ. The results agree well with the solution of gray BTE with a average MFP of 0.6 nm. The thermal conductivity of nanoporous YSZ weakly depends on the Y_2O_3 concentration and temperature, which shows the phonons with very short MFP play the major contribution to the thermal conductivity. The results help to better understand the heat transfer in porous YSZ structure and develop better TBCs.展开更多

A unified analytical expression for the low-field mobility is proposed, which covers the entire regime from drift-diffusion transport to quasi-ballistic transport in 1-D, 2-D and 3-D MOSFETs. Two key parameters, namely the long-channel low-field mobility （λ0） and the low-field mean free path （λ0）, are obtained from the experimental data, and the transport mechanism transition in MOSFETs is further discussed both experimentally and theoretically. Our work shows that λ0 is available to characterize the inherent transition of the carrier transport mechanism rather than the low-field mobility. The mobility reduces in the MOSFET with the shrinking of the channel length; however, λ0 is nearly a constant, and λ0 can be used as the ＂entry criterion＂ to determine whether the device begins to operate under quasi-ballistic transport to some extent.展开更多

文摘A nonlinear model of mean free surface of waves or wave set-up is presented. The model is based on that of Roelvink (1993), but the numerical techniques used in the solution are based on the Weighted-Average Flux (WAF) method (Watson el al., 1992), with Time-Operator-Splitting (TOS) used for the treatment of the source terms. This method allows a small number of computational points to be used, and is particularly efficient in modeling wave set-up. The short wave (or primary wave) energy equation is solved by use of a more traditional Lax-Wendroff technique. A nonlinear wave theory (James, 1974) is introduced. The model described in this paper is found to be satisfactory in most respects when compared with the measurements conducted by Stive (1983) except in modeling the mean free surface very close to the mean shoreline.

文摘High-resolution optical imaging through or within thick scattering media is a long sought after yet unreached goal.In the past decade,the thriving technique developments in wavefront measurement and manipulation do not significantly push the boundary forward.The optical diffusion limit is still a ceiling.In this work,we propose that a scattering medium can be conceptualized as an assembly of randomly packed pinhole cameras and the corresponding speckle pattern as a superposition of randomly shifted pinhole images.The concept is demonstrated through both simulation and experiments,confirming the new perspective to interpret the mechanism of information transmission through scattering media under incoherent illumination.We also analyze the efficiency of single-pinhole and dual-pinhole channels.While in infancy,the proposed method reveals a new perspective to understand imaging and information transmission through scattering media.
文摘This paper extends the flux scattering method to study the carrier transport property in nanoscale MOSFETs with special emphasis on the low-field mobility and the transport mechanism transition. A unified analytical expression for the low-field mobility is proposed, which covers the entire regime from drift-diffusion transport to quasi-ballistic transport in 1-D, 2-D and 3-D MOSFETs. Two key parameters, namely the long-channel low-field mobility （λ0） and the low-field mean free path （λ0）, are obtained from the experimental data, and the transport mechanism transition in MOSFETs is further discussed both experimentally and theoretically. Our work shows that λ0 is available to characterize the inherent transition of the carrier transport mechanism rather than the low-field mobility. The mobility reduces in the MOSFET with the shrinking of the channel length; however, λ0 is nearly a constant, and λ0 can be used as the ＂entry criterion＂ to determine whether the device begins to operate under quasi-ballistic transport to some extent.
