摘要随着人工智能与高性能计算的快速发展,图形处理器(graphics processing unit,GPU)已成为算力中心的核心资源。现代算力中心往往同时部署多厂商、不同架构的GPU,而传统基于硬件切分或驱动绑定的方案仅支持单一厂商,难以在多架构环境中实现高效共享与隔离。提出一种面向异构GPU的资源池化与应用程序接口(application program interface,API)沙盒机制设计方案SandGPU,在资源抽象层构建统一的虚拟GPU三维资源模型,引入厂商级折算系数,对不同架构GPU的计算能力、显存容量和带宽进行等效表征;在执行层通过基于API的沙盒机制,利用显存配额门、带宽令牌桶和计算节流门实现按配额限流和跨任务干扰抑制。基于自研离散时间仿真平台的实验表明,在保持平均算力利用率且在一定时延内完成任务的比例不下降的前提下,所提方案将干扰率分布的P95值平均降低22.4%,显著收敛尾部干扰。

摘要In view of the frequent deterioration of molten steel quality during the tundish filling process,the slag-steel-air interface behavior in a tundish,including liquid level fluctuation,slag eyes,slag entrapment and air suction during the steady-state casting and filling process,was comparatively studied through physical modeling and mathematical simulation methods.During the filling process,the liquid surface forms a large-size slag eye under the impact of molten steel from a ladle shroud,which simultaneously results in a violent fluctuation of liquid level.Concurrently,the liquid flow entrains the air phase and the cover slag into the tundish impact zone,resulting in slag entrapment and air suction.At filling flow rates of 1.5Q,2.0Q,and 2.5Q(Q is the flow rate under steady-state casting),the amount of slag entrapped is 8.39×10-5,9.65×10-5,and 12.7×10-5m3,respectively,while the volume of air aspirated is 0.84×10-4,1.47×10-4,and 2.01×10-4m3,indicating that slag entrapment and air suction intensify with an increase in tundish filling flow rate.Flow field characterization identifies eddy currents in the impact zone as the primary driver of the above phenomena.Proper filling process parameters were proposed to improve the steel quality during the tundish filling.

摘要Wearable and deformable electronics are becoming increasingly essential components of modern healthcare and daily life.To power such devices,flexible electrochemical energy storage(FEES)plays a critical role.The practical performance of FEES is dominated by charge and mass transfer at the electrodeelectrolyte interface,similar to many rigid battery technologies.However,a unique challenge for FEES is the durability of this interface under deformation.Herein,we present the first comprehensive review of the interface physics,unveiling the crucial role of interface adhesion in the mechanical endurance of FEES.By bridging adhesion physics,material chemistry,and device mechanics,adhesion reinforcement strategies are comprehensively discussed and quantitatively compared,providing multi-scale mechanisms for optimizing FFES interface-from nanoscale bond engineering to microscale surface topology,mechanical interlocking,and macroscale device design.Further,inspired by the synergetic effect of adhesion mechanisms,we propose potential research directions for durable electrode-electrolyte interfaces under dynamic deformation.We also revisit the evaluation of flexibility and electrochemical performance,proposing an application-driven bending index for device assessment.These insights on electrode-electrolyte interface physics of FEES will facilitate the flourishing future of flexible devices.

摘要Introducing Ti2AlC particles into TiAl alloys can effectively improve their strength,but this can also lead to stress concentration at the interface,resulting in the reduction of ductility.Therefore,Mn is adopted to synergistically improve the strength and ductility of the Ti2AlC/TiAl composite through solid solution and interface manipulation.The first-principles calculation shows the Ti-Mn bonds are formed at the Ti2AlC/TiAl interface after Mn doping,characterized primarily by metallic bonds with some covalent bonding.This combination preserves strength while enhancing ductility.Then,Ti2AlC/TiAl-Mn composite is prepared.The Ti2AlC,with an average size of 1.6μm,is uniformly distributed within the TiAl matrix.Mn doping reduces the lamellar colony size and lamellar thickness by 25.1%and 27.4%,respectively.A small quantity of Mn accumulates at the boundaries of the lamellar colonies.The Mn content must be controlled to avoid segregation,which may negatively impact performance.The yield stress,ultimate compressive stress,fracture strain,and product of strength and plasticity of the Ti2AlC/TiAl-Mn composite have been increased by 5.5%,11.5%,10.4%,and 23.0%,respectively,compared to those of the Ti2AlC/TiAl composite.The enhancement in strength is due to the combined effects of grain refinement,solid solution of Mn,and twining strengthening.Grain refinement and twin strengthening also can reduce stress concentration and improve ductility.In addition,at the electronic level,the Ti-Mn bond formed at the interface is contributed to the improvement of ductility.

摘要Li2CO3 was introduced into LiPF6-based electrolytes and the electrolytes were stored at 40°C.Nuclear magnetic analysis of electrolytes and X-ray diffraction characterization of reaction residues demonstrate the formation of LiPO2F2 and LiF during storage.This reformulated electrolyte boosts lifespan and Coulombic efficiency(CE)in Li||Li and Li||Cu cells,with Li||Li cells stably cycling for>800 h and 300 h at 0.5 mA/cm2 and 1.0 mA/cm2,respectively.Moreover,with the optimal content of Li2CO3,the CE of the reformulated electrolyte(91.56%)is greatly improved compared to that of the standard electrolyte(81.99%).The compatibility and enhanced rate performance of the reformulated electrolyte are also exhibited in Li||NCM full cells with a moderately high mass loading of 9.6 mg/cm2.

摘要Ultra-fine sizes and high thermal stability are often mutually exclusive for nanocrystalline(NC)materials because the high grain boundary(GB)energy of nanograins provides a large driving force for grain coarsening.Alloying is a classical strategy for stabilizing the microstructure of NC materials.However,the stabilization effects of alloying on NC materials typically rely on the segregation of solute atoms at GBs,which imposes restrictions on the selection of possible alloy systems.In this study,it is revealed experimentally and corroborated theoretically that the interface energies can be continuously regulated by simply manipulating the alloy composition in simple solid-solution alloy systems,enabling the control of the ultra-fine sizes and thermal stability of the alloys without GB segregation.In a model system of NC Au(Cu)-SiO2films,the dissolved Cu in Au can be used as a very accurate tool to tailor the interface energies of NC Au(Cu)-SiO2film,leading to ultra-fine(below 2 nm)Au(Cu)nanoparticles with exceptional thermal stability.Such Cu-induced grain refinement and thermal stabilization effects are supported by interface thermodynamic calculations.This study thus provides an alloying stabilization strategy without GB segregation,which broadens the scope for developing thermally stable NC alloy systems.

摘要Surface passivation via two-dimensional(2D)perovskite has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells(PSCs)due to the effective compensation of interfacial states.However,the in situ grown 2D perovskite passivation layers typically comprise a mixture of multiple dimensionalities at the interface,where band alignment has only been portrayed qualitatively and empirically.Herein,the interface states for precisely phase-tailored 2D perovskite passivated PSCs are quantitatively investigated.In comparison to traditional passivation molecules,2D perovskite layers based on 4-trifluoromethyl-phenylethylammonium iodide(CF3PEAI)exhibit an increased work function,introducing desirable downward band bending to eliminate the Schottky Barrier.Furthermore,precisely phase-tailored 2D layers could modulate the interface trap density and energetics.The n=1 film delivers optimal performance with a hole extraction efficiency of 95.1%.The optimized n-i-p PSCs in the two-step method significantly improve PCE to 25.40%,along with enhanced photostability and negligible hysteresis.It highlights that tailoring in the composition and phase distribution of the 2D perovskite layer could modulate the interface states at the 2D/3D interface.

摘要This paper investigates the “brush-like”deformation phenomenon of the contact interface at the bolt-hole during the interference-fit installation of high-locking bolts under static loading in CFRP connection structures.An innovative theoretical model is proposed to predict axial installation force,specifically designed for moderate interference-fit.This model is based on the “brush-like”deformation of the hole wall,with the axial installation force predicted through force analysis and theoretical calculations,effectively overcoming the limitations of prior models that idealized the contact interface at the bolt-hole.The predictions generated by this theoretical model align closely with experimental data,confirming its efficacy in accurately forecasting the curve of installation force for interferencefit bolts during the static installation within the moderate interference-fit range.Additionally,a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between deformation of the hole wall and curves of installation force across small,moderate,and large interference-fit levels are presented.It is demonstrated that the degree of deformation within the moderate interference-fit range is more suitable than that in the small and large interference-fit ranges,making it a reliable alternative for installation force tests within this range during static installation.The moderate interference-fit domain[1.00%,1.24%]is established as a validated and optimal range of interference-fit bolts for the static installation.

摘要Bessel beams,often referred to as“nondiffractive”light,have been successfully applied in numerous fields.In this study,we integrated a Bessel beam as the illumination source into a Raman spectrometer to enhance the detection of homogeneous phases and interfaces.By simulating optical path systems,we optimized the setup to fully utilize the multi-pixel array and maximize detection sensitivity.Compared to a conventional Gaussian-beam Raman spectrometer in the 90°-scattered configuration,the upgraded Raman spectrometer employing a Bessel-like beam demonstrated a nearly 6-fold improvement in sensitivity.Additionally,it significantly suppressed background scattering interferences in the low-frequency range,thus enhancing the clarity and accuracy of spectral data.Furthermore,the capability of this spectrometer for real-space Raman imaging of heterogeneous phase interfaces was verified.This advancement not only improves the sensitivity and precision of Raman measurements but also expands the potential applications of Raman spectroscopy in studying complex systems,such as interfaces and phase boundaries,with high spatial and spectral resolution.

摘要Glycerol oxidation reaction has got lots of attention in an electrocatalytic system of simultaneous hydrogen production and valuable chemicals generation.However,the lack of electrochemical dehydrogenation capability of the active phase is hard to deliver a large current density at a low potential.Furthermore,high selectivity of products is also still far from being completed due to the adsorption-desorption disequilibrium of glycerol and the obtained products,reducing the economic feasibility and limiting the practical application.Here,we propose a strategy to boost the electrocatalytic glycerol oxidation through electron-deficient Ni sites induced by electron transfer of heterojunction interface.Taking Ni3S2/Cu2S as a pre-catalysts,we demonstrate that the electron-deficient Ni site can favor the dehydrogenation of the active phase to facilitate the rapid transformation of Ni2+/Ni3+in the electrooxidation process of glycerol.Furthermore,electron deficient Ni sites balance competitive adsorption of active species,improving the activity and selectivity of glycerol oxidation.As expected,the electrocatalysts exhibit selectivity of 93.3%for formate at the 1.35 V,and require only 1.45 V to drive an industrial-level current densities of 600 mA/cm2.This work provides valuable insights into constructing highly active and selective electrocatalysts for organic electrosynthesis in hybrid water electrolysis.
