The RTI of a finite-thickness fluid layer is studied analytically considering an arbitrary perturbation phase difference on the two interfaces of the shell. The third-order weakly nonlinear(WN) solutions for RTI are derived. It is found the main feature(bubble-spike structure) of the interface is not affected by phase difference. However, the positions of bubble and spike are sensitive to the initial phase difference, especially for a thin shell(kd < 1), which will be detrimental to the integrity of the shell. Furthermore, the larger phase difference results in much more serious RTI growth, significant shell deformation can be obtained in the WN stage for perturbations with large phase difference. Therefore, it should be considered in applications where the interface coupling and perturbation phase effects are important, such as inertial confinement fusion.展开更多

The closed-form expressions obtained in this work for the sensitivities of the temperature distributions within the model to the model’s parameters, internal interfaces and external boundaries can be used to benchmark commercial and production software packages for simulating heat transport. The 1st-CASAM highlights the novel finding that response sensitivities to the imprecisely known domain boundaries and interfaces can arise both from the definition of the system’s response as well as from the equations, interfaces and boundary conditions that characterize the model and its imprecisely known domain. By enabling, in premiere, the exact computations of sensitivities to interface and boundary parameters and conditions, the 1st-CASAM enables the quantification of the effects of manufacturing tolerances on the responses of physical and engineering systems.展开更多

In general, it is expected that the interface cou- plings result in the suppression of heat conduction through the coupled system due to the additional interface phonon-phonon scattering. In the present paper, it is found that the thermal conductivity increases with increasing intensity of interface interactions for weak inter-chain couplings, whereas the heat conduction is suppressed by the interface interaction in the case of strong inter-chain couplings. Based on the phonon spectral energy density method, we demonstrate that the enhance- ment of energy transport results from the excited phonon modes (in addition to the intrinsic phonon modes), while the strong interface phonon-phonon scattering results in the suppressed energy transport.展开更多

摘要Sacrificial pre-metallation strategy could compensate for the irreversible consumption of metal ions and reduce the potential of anode,thereby elevating the cycle performance as well as open-circuit voltage for full metal ion capacitors(MICs).However,suffered from massive-dosage abuse,exorbitant decomposition potential,and side effects of decomposition residue,the wide application of sacrificial approach was restricted.Herein,assisted with density functional theory calculations,strongly coupled interface(M-O-C,M=Li/Na/K)and electron donating group have been put forward to regulate the band gap and highest occupied molecular orbital level of metal oxalate(M2C2O4),reducing polarization phenomenon and Gibbs free energy required for decomposition,which eventually decrease the practical decomposition potential from 4.50 to 3.95 V.Remarkably,full sodium ion capacitors constituted of commercial materials(activated carbon//hard carbon)could deliver a prominent energy density of 118.2 Wh kg−1as well as excellent cycle stability under an ultra-low dosage pre-sodiation reagent of 15-30 wt%(far less than currently 100 wt%).Noteworthily,decomposition mechanism of sacrificial compound and the relative influence on the system of MICs after pre-metallation were initially revealed by in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry,offering in-depth insights for comprehending the function of cathode additives.In addition,this breakthrough has been successfully utilized in high performance lithium/potassium ion capacitors with Li2C2O4/K2C2O4 as pre-metallation reagent,which will convincingly promote the commercialization of MICs.
摘要The rapid recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs,insufficient active sites,and strong photocorrosion have considerably restricted the practical application of Cd S in photocatalytic fields.Herein,we designed and constructed a 2D/2D/2D layered heterojunction photocatalyst with cascaded 2D coupling interfaces.Experiments using electron spin resonance spectroscopy,ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy,and in-situ irradiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were conducted to confirm the 2D layered CdS/WO3 step-scheme(S-scheme)heterojunctions and CdS/MX ohmic junctions.Impressively,it was found that the strong interfacial electric fields in the S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts could effectively promote spatially directional charge separation and transport between CdS and WO3 nanosheets.In addition,2D Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets with a smaller work function and excellent metal conductivity when used as a co-catalyst could build ohmic junctions with Cd S nanosheets,thus providing a greater number of electron transfer pathways and hydrogen evolution sites.Results showed that the highest visible-light hydrogen evolution rate of the optimized MX-Cd S/WO3 layered multi-heterostructures could reach as high as 27.5 mmol/g/h,which was 11.0 times higher than that of pure CdS nanosheets.Notably,the apparent quantum efficiency reached 12.0% at 450 nm.It is hoped that this study offers a reliable approach for developing multifunctional photocatalysts by integrating S-scheme and ohmic-junction built-in electric fields and rationally designing a 2D/2D interface for efficient light-to-hydrogen fuel production.

摘要The influence of the interface exchange coupling on the magnetization reversal process for a FePt/α-Fe/FePt tri-layer structure has been studied through a micromagnetic approach.The analytical formula of the nucleation field has been derived.It is found that the nucleation field increases as the interface coupling constant rises.Especially when the thickness of the soft layer is small,the influence of the exchange coupling on the nucleation field is significant.The angular distributions of the magnetization for various exchange coupling constants have been obtained by numerical calculation.It is found that the angular distribution of the magnetization is discontinuous at the interface of the hard and soft layers.In the meantime,the pinning field decreases with the increase of the thickness of the soft layer and the exchange coupling constant.

摘要Constructing interfaces in heterostructures is effective for modulating the electronic properties of electrocatalysts.The hollow CoMoO4-Co3O4 heterostructure(HCMCH)was prepared as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for Li-O2 battery.The different components in CoMoO4-Co3O4 heterostructure presented the efficient coupling and enhanced the electrocatalytic activity for aprotic oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER),in which it improved the obviously reduced overpotential of 300 mV(compared with the pure Ketjen black(KB)electrode),enhanced reversibility of 80%capacity retention after 6 full cycles and the superior cyclability of more than 200 cycles with an optimized strategy.The battery performance of the HCMCH was not only associated with the unique hollow structure and rich active sites but also with coupling interface constructions synergetic effects attaching to the improving conductivity and optimized the discharge conversion.These results suggested that this HCMCH electrocatalyst was a promising candidate for the Li-O2 battery and it gave a novel insight for high performance electrocatalyst designing.

摘要The dependences of spin wave resonance(SWR)frequency on the surface anisotropy field,interface exchange coupling,symmetry,biquadratic exchange(BQE)interaction,film thickness,and the external magnetic field in bilayer ferromagnetic films are theoretically analyzed by employing the linear spin wave approximation and Green’s function method.A remarkable increase of SWR frequency,except for energetically lower two modes,can be obtained in our model that takes the BQE interaction into account.Again,the effect of the external magnetic field on SWR frequency can be increased by increasing the biquadratic to interlayer exchange ratio.It has been identified that the BQE interaction is of utmost importance in improving the SWR frequency of the bilayer ferromagnetic films.In addition,for bilayer ferromagnetic films,the frequency gap between the energetically highest mode and lowest mode is found to increase by increasing the biquadratic to interlayer exchange ratio and film thickness and destroying the symmetry of the system.These results can be used to improve the understanding of magnetic properties in bilayer ferromagnetic films and thus may have prominent implications for future magnetic devices.
摘要This work illustrates the application of the 1st-CASAM to a paradigm heat transport model which admits exact closed-form solutions. The closed-form expressions obtained in this work for the sensitivities of the temperature distributions within the model to the model’s parameters, internal interfaces and external boundaries can be used to benchmark commercial and production software packages for simulating heat transport. The 1st-CASAM highlights the novel finding that response sensitivities to the imprecisely known domain boundaries and interfaces can arise both from the definition of the system’s response as well as from the equations, interfaces and boundary conditions that characterize the model and its imprecisely known domain. By enabling, in premiere, the exact computations of sensitivities to interface and boundary parameters and conditions, the 1st-CASAM enables the quantification of the effects of manufacturing tolerances on the responses of physical and engineering systems.
摘要The role of interface couplings on the energy transport of two coupled Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) chains is explored through numerical simulations. In general, it is expected that the interface cou- plings result in the suppression of heat conduction through the coupled system due to the additional interface phonon-phonon scattering. In the present paper, it is found that the thermal conductivity increases with increasing intensity of interface interactions for weak inter-chain couplings, whereas the heat conduction is suppressed by the interface interaction in the case of strong inter-chain couplings. Based on the phonon spectral energy density method, we demonstrate that the enhance- ment of energy transport results from the excited phonon modes (in addition to the intrinsic phonon modes), while the strong interface phonon-phonon scattering results in the suppressed energy transport.

摘要The control of ion transport by responding to stimulus is a necessary condition for the existence of life.Bioinspired iontronics could enable anomalous ion dynamics in the nano-confined spaces,creating many efficient energy systems and neuromorphic in-sensor computing networks:Unlike tradi-tional electronics based on von Neumann computing architec-ture,the Boolean logic computing based on the iontronics could avoid complex wiring with higher energy efficiency and programmable neuromorphic logic.Here,a systematic summary on the state of art in bioinspired iontronics is pre-sented and the stimulus from chemical potentials,electric fields,light,heat,piezo and magnetic fields on ion dynamics are reviewed.Challenges and perspectives are also addressed in the aspects of iontronic integrated systems.It is believed that comprehensive investigations in bioinspired ionic control will accelerate the development on more efficient energy and information flow for the futuristic human-machine interface.

摘要Although the basic concept was proposed only about 10 years ago,multiferroic tunnel junctions(MFTJs)with a ferroelectric barrier sandwiched between two ferromagnetic electrodes have already drawn considerable interests,driven mainly by its potential applications in multi-level memories and electric field controlled spintronics.The purpose of this article is to review the recent progress of all-perovskite MFTJs.Starting from the key functional properties of the tunneling magnetoresistance,tunneling electroresistance,and tunneling electromagnetoresistance effects,we discuss the main origins of the tunneling electroresistance effect,recent progress in achieving multilevel resistance states in a single device,and the electrical control of spin polarization and transport through the ferroelectric polarization reversal of the tunneling barrier.
