The samples of multilayer organic insulation structure are prepared by inserting multilayer organic composite material with different relative permittivity between the electrode and the dielectric. Two multilayer organic insulation structures are prepared in this study. One is the cylindrical samples, the other is 45° samples. The impulse (1.2/50 μs) and DC flashover voltages in vacuum are tested, and the electric field distributions of two insulation structures are analyzed by ANSYS. It is found that these two insulation structure could effectively improve the surface flashover performance in vacuum. The results indicate that the highest impulse first flashover voltage of cylindrical samples reaches 65 kV and increases by 25% under im- pulse voltage. The highest first flashover voltage of /c samples reaches 81 kV and increases by 32% under impulse voltage. The results of electric field simulation demonstrate that different mechanisms exist between 45° insulation structure and cylindrical structure.展开更多

However, a major limitation of PCSS is its surprisingly low voltage threshold of surface flashover (SF). In this paper, an experimental study of surface flashover of a back-triggered PCSS is presented. The PCSSs with electrode gap of 18 mm are fabricated from liquid encapsulated czochralski (LEC) semi-insulating gallium arsenide (SI-GaAs), and they are either un-coated, or partly coated, or en- tirely coated PCSSs with high-strength transparent insulation. The SF fields of the PCSSs are measured and discussed. According to the experimental results, the high-dielectric-strength coating is efficient in both reducing the gas desorption from semiconductor and increasing the SF field: a well-designed PCSS can resist a voltage up to 20 kV under the repetition frequency of 30 Hz. The physical mechanism of the PCSS SF is analyzed, and the conclusion is made that having a channel structure, the SF is the breakdown of the contaminated dielectric layer at the semiconductor-ambient dielectric interface. The non-uniform distribution of the surface field and the gas desorption due to thermal effects of semiconductor surface currents are key factors causing the SF field reduction.展开更多

The unique feature of pseudospark switch is its hollow cathode geometry.The hollow cathode effect produced by the hollow cathode provides the protection of the switchfor the triggering unit from erosion by high discharge plasma. In this paper, a zinc oxide (ZnO)surface flashover triggering is presented. This trigger unit possesses an excellent time delay (80 ns～ 360 ns) and jitter (20 ns ～ 50 ns) at the switch voltage of 30 kV ～ 2 kV. The emitted plasmaelectron density is high enough to trigger switch reliably down to switch voltage of 440 V.展开更多

Inorganic A-B-A insulator samples of M0/Al2O3cermet-Al2O3 ceramic-Mo/Al2O3 cermet were prepared, in which the conductivity and permittivityof the Mo/Al2O3 cermets were controlled through different amount of metallic molybdenumpowder added. The effects of both conductivity and permittivity of Mo/Al2O3 cermets on theDC and impulse surface flashover voltage in vacuum were experimentally investigated. The resultshowed that the DC and impulse surface flashover voltage were improved by 52% and 95%, respectively.For the distribution of electric field, two triple junctions, i.e., vacuum-layer A-cathode（TJ1） and vacuum-layer A-layer B （TJ2） were prepared with the introduction of layer A into theA-B-A insulation system. Based on the electric field distribution obtained via electrostatic fieldsimulation and Maxwell-Wagner three-layer model, the electric field of TJ1 decreases while thatof TJ2 increases with the increase in conductivity and permittivity of layer A under applied DCand impulse voltage, respectively. Therefore, the improvement of surface flashover performance ofA-B-A insulators has been reasonably explained.展开更多

Diamond cutting experiments were conducted to machine Al6061 samples under different aging conditions. The experimental results show that, the protruding on the chip surface is mainly Mg_(2)Si and the scratches on the machined surface mostly come from the iron-containing phase(α-, β-AlFeSi).Moreover, the generated Mg_(2)Si and α-, β-AlFeSi affect the surface integrity and the diamond turned surface roughness. Especially, the achieved surface roughness in SPDT is consistent with the variation of the number of AlFeSi and Mg_(2)Si with the medium size(more than 1 μm and less than 2 μm) in Al6061.展开更多

文摘With its unique features, photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) is generally recognized today as a promising power electronic device. However, a major limitation of PCSS is its surprisingly low voltage threshold of surface flashover (SF).

The PCSSs with electrode gap of 18 mm are fabricated from liquid encapsulated czochralski (LEC) semi-insulating gallium arsenide (SI-GaAs), and they are either un-coated, or partly coated, or en- tirely coated PCSSs with high-strength transparent insulation. The SF fields of the PCSSs are measured and discussed. According to the experimental results, the high-dielectric-strength coating is efficient in both reducing the gas desorption from semiconductor and increasing the SF field: a well-designed PCSS can resist a voltage up to 20 kV under the repetition frequency of 30 Hz. The physical mechanism of the PCSS SF is analyzed, and the conclusion is made that having a channel structure, the SF is the breakdown of the contaminated dielectric layer at the semiconductor-ambient dielectric interface. The non-uniform distribution of the surface field and the gas desorption due to thermal effects of semiconductor surface currents are key factors causing the SF field reduction.

In this paper, a zinc oxide (ZnO)surface flashover triggering is presented. This trigger unit possesses an excellent time delay (80 ns～ 360 ns) and jitter (20 ns ～ 50 ns) at the switch voltage of 30 kV ～ 2 kV. The emitted plasmaelectron density is high enough to trigger switch reliably down to switch voltage of 440 V.

文摘A new insulation system with inorganic A-B-A insulators was proposed to improvethe surface flashover performance in vacuum. Inorganic A-B-A insulator samples of M0/Al2O3cermet-Al2O3 ceramic-Mo/Al2O3 cermet were prepared, in which the conductivity and permittivityof the Mo/Al2O3 cermets were controlled through different amount of metallic molybdenumpowder added. The effects of both conductivity and permittivity of Mo/Al2O3 cermets on theDC and impulse surface flashover voltage in vacuum were experimentally investigated. The resultshowed that the DC and impulse surface flashover voltage were improved by 52% and 95%, respectively.For the distribution of electric field, two triple junctions, i.e., vacuum-layer A-cathode（TJ1） and vacuum-layer A-layer B （TJ2） were prepared with the introduction of layer A into theA-B-A insulation system. Based on the electric field distribution obtained via electrostatic fieldsimulation and Maxwell-Wagner three-layer model, the electric field of TJ1 decreases while thatof TJ2 increases with the increase in conductivity and permittivity of layer A under applied DCand impulse voltage, respectively. Therefore, the improvement of surface flashover performance ofA-B-A insulators has been reasonably explained.
文摘A trigger device and a triggered pseudospark switch (TPSS) were designed based onsurface flashover technology,in order to meet the requirements from present pulse power technol-ogy and pulse current test technology such as a long lifetime,reliability in a wide voltage range,a short delay time,as well as small delay jitters.The trigger devices were made from differentdielectric materials,with their permittivities from tens to thousands.The trigger characteristics ofTPSS were investigated.The results indicate that the high-dielectric trigger device shows betterperformance and higher emitted charge of the electron emission within all adjusted parametersincluding the gas pressure and applied voltage.For the dielectric material with relative permittiv-ity ε_r of 3460,when the gas pressure is 7 Pa,the hold-off voltage of TPSS is 28 kV,the minimumtrigger switch voltage drops to 128 V,the minimum discharging delay time and delay jitter areless than 35ns and 6ns,respectively,and the reliable operation can be reached within a very largerange of charging voltage,between 0.46% and 99% of its self-breakdown voltage.
文摘In this study,different conditions of sandblasting on dental implant fixtures were investigated to achieve the best sandblasting conditions.18 different sandblasting conditions(Using 152 implant fixture samples)were examined,including parameters such as particle size,particle blasting pressure,and particle blasting angle.The surface treatment of the samples was performed using the SLA+Anodizing method.AFM testing was performed for each of the 18 different states,and the average surface roughness of each of these was compared with each other.Then,a bone layer was placed on the sample with the closest average surface roughness to the standard and the least amount of aluminum oxide on its surface among the 18 different states,to confirm the accuracy and quality of the desired surface roughness by examining the bone formation process and speed.The results showed that state No.4(sandblast particle size:75µm,spraying pressure of sandblast particles:4 bar,sandblast particle spraying angle:30 degrees),which was prepared using the SLA+Anodizing method and had a surface roughness of 1.989µm(The percentage of Al_(2)O_(3)on the surface=6%),had the best sandblasting conditions and showed 95%cell viability and accelerated the treatment and bone formation process for about a week.The simulation results,using Abaqus software,indicated that the stress distribution on the surface of the implant fixture in contact with the bone surface has increased by approximately 4.3%for state No.4.This will help prevent loosening of the dental implant fixture over time.

文摘Systematic optimization of the photocatalyst and investigation of the role of each component is important to maximizing catalytic activity and comprehending the photocatalytic conversion of CO_(2) reduction to solar fuels.A surface-modified Ag@Ru-P25 photocatalyst with H_(2)O_(2) treatment was designed in this study to convert CO_(2) and H_(2)O vapor into highly selective CH4.Ru doping followed by Ag nanoparticles(NPs)cocatalyst deposition on P25(TiO_(2))enhances visible light absorption and charge separation,whereas H_(2)O_(2) treatment modifies the surface of the photocatalyst with hydroxyl(–OH)groups and promotes CO_(2) adsorption.High-resonance transmission electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,X-ray absorption near-edge structure,and extended X-ray absorption fine structure techniques were used to analyze the surface and chemical composition of the photocatalyst,while thermogravimetric analysis,CO_(2) adsorption isotherm,and temperature programmed desorption study were performed to examine the significance of H_(2)O_(2) treatment in increasing CO_(2) reduction activity.The optimized Ag1.0@Ru1.0-P25 photocatalyst performed excellent CO_(2) reduction activity into CO,CH4,and C2H6 with a~95%selectivity of CH4,where the activity was~135 times higher than that of pristine TiO_(2)(P25).For the first time,this work explored the effect of H_(2)O_(2) treatment on the photocatalyst that dramatically increases CO_(2) reduction activity.
文摘We experimentally and theoretically present a paradigm for the accurate bilayer design of gradient metasurfaces for wave beam manipulation,producing an extremely asymmetric splitting effect by simply tailoring the interlayer size.This concept arises from anomalous diffraction in phase gradient metasurfaces and the precise combination of the phase gradient in bilayer metasurfaces.Ensured by different diffraction routes in momentum space for incident beams from opposite directions,extremely asymmetric acoustic beam splitting can be generated in a robust way,as demonstrated in experiments through a designed bilayer system.Our work provides a novel approach and feasible platform for designing tunable devices to control wave propagation.

文摘Surface metallization of glass fiber(GF)/polyetheretherketone(PEEK)[GF/PEEK] is conducted by coating copper using electroplating and magnetron sputtering and the properties are determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD).The coating bonding strength is assessed by pull-out tests and scribing in accordance with GB/T 9286-1998.The results show that the Cu coating with a thickness of 30 μm deposited on GF/PEEK by magnetron sputtering has lower roughness, finer grain size, higher crystallinity, as well as better macroscopic compressive stress,bonding strength, and electrical conductivity than the Cu coating deposited by electroplating.

文摘A trigger system is typically employed in active seismic testing to trigger and synchronize multichannel surface wave data acquisition.The effect of the trigger system on the dispersion image of surface waves is empirically known to be negligible,however,theoretical explanation regarding the effect of the trigger system is insufficient.This study systematically examines the theory for surface wave dispersion analysis and proves that the effect of the trigger system on a dispersion image is negligible via a solid theoretical explanation.Subsequently,based on the new theoretical explanation,an alternative method that uses only the relative phase difference between sensors to extract dispersion characteristics with better conceptual clarity is proposed.Two active surface wave testing cases are considered to validate the theory and method.The results indicate that(1)an accurate trigger system is not necessary for surface wave data acquisition,and(2)it is unnecessary to assume that the impact point is the generation point of the surface waves for the experimental dispersion analysis.

文摘The efficient separation of chalcopyrite(CuFeS2)and galena(PbS)is essential for optimal resource utilization.However,find-ing a selective depressant that is environmentally friendly and cost effective remains a challenge.Through various techniques,such as mi-croflotation tests,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy(SEM)observation,X-ray photoelectron spec-troscopy(XPS),and Raman spectroscopy measurements,this study explored the use of ferric ions(Fe^(3+))as a selective depressant for ga-lena.The results of flotation tests revealed the impressive selective inhibition capabilities of Fe^(3+)when used alone.Surface analysis showed that Fe^(3+)significantly reduced the adsorption of isopropyl ethyl thionocarbamate(IPETC)on the galena surface while having a minimal impact on chalcopyrite.Further analysis using SEM,XPS,and Raman spectra revealed that Fe^(3+)can oxidize lead sulfide to form compact lead sulfate nanoparticles on the galena surface,effectively depressing IPETC adsorption and increasing surface hydrophilicity.These findings provide a promising solution for the efficient and environmentally responsible separation of chalcopyrite and galena.

文摘In seismology and earthquake engineering,it is fundamental to identify and characterize the pulse-like features in pulse-type ground motions.To capture the pulses that dominate structural responses,this study establishes congruence and shift relationships between response spectrum surfaces.A similarity search between spectrum surfaces,supplemented with a similarity search in time series,has been applied to characterize the pulse-like features in pulse-type ground motions.The identified pulses are tested in predicting the rocking consequences of slender rectangular blocks under the original ground motions.Generally,the prediction is promising for the majority of the ground motions where the dominant pulse is correctly identified.

文摘To improve the surface quality for aluminum alloy 6061(Al6061) in ultra-precision machining, we investigated the factors affecting the surface finish in single point diamond turning(SPDT)by studying influence of the precipitates generation of Al6061 on surface integrity and surface roughness.Based on the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami solid phase transformation kinetics equation, theoretical and experimental studies were conducted to build the relationship between the aging condition and the type, size and number of the precipitates for Al6061. Diamond cutting experiments were conducted to machine Al6061 samples under different aging conditions. The experimental results show that, the protruding on the chip surface is mainly Mg_(2)Si and the scratches on the machined surface mostly come from the iron-containing phase(α-, β-AlFeSi).Moreover, the generated Mg_(2)Si and α-, β-AlFeSi affect the surface integrity and the diamond turned surface roughness. Especially, the achieved surface roughness in SPDT is consistent with the variation of the number of AlFeSi and Mg_(2)Si with the medium size(more than 1 μm and less than 2 μm) in Al6061.
