The primary objective is to understand the interplay among nonlinear convection, micro-rotation effects, and species diffusion under the influence of thermal and electromagnetic forces. The analysis is motivated by practical applications of cryogenic fluids, specifically liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen,where precise control of heat and mass transport is critical. The conical surface roughness is mathematically modeled as a high-frequency, small-amplitude sinusoidal waveform.To address the non-similar nature of the boundary-layer equations, Mangler's transformations are employed, followed by the implementation of a finite difference scheme for numerical solutions. The methodology further integrates a machine learning-based neural network to predict the skin friction under the influence of roughness-induced perturbations, ensuring computational efficiency and improved generalization. The study yields several novel findings. Notably, the presence of surface roughness introduces the wavelike modulations in the local skin friction coefficient. It is also observed that nonlinear convective interactions, enhanced by temperature gradients and vortex viscosity parameters, significantly intensify near-wall velocity gradients. Moreover, key physical quantities are correlated with governing parameters using power-law relationships, providing generalized predictive models. The validation of the numerical results is achieved through consistency checks with the existing limiting solutions and convergence analysis, ensuring the reliability of the proposed computational framework.展开更多

Let G be a simple graph of order n and λ1, λ2, . . . , λn be the zeros of its matching polynomial. The matching energy of a graph G is defined as ME(G) = Pni=1 |λi|. By the famous Coulson’s formula, matching energies can also be calculated by an improper integral depending on a parameter. A k-claw attaching graph Gu(k) refers to the graph obtained by attaching k pendent edges to the graph G at the vertex u, where u is called the root of Gu(k). In this paper, we use some theories of mathematical analysis to obtain a new technique to compare the matching energies of two k-claw attaching graphs Gu(k) and Hv(k) with the same order, that is, limk→∞[ME(Gu(k)) − ME(Hv(k))] = ME(G − u) − ME(H − v). By the technique, we finally determine unicyclic graphs of order n with the 9th to 13th minimal matching energies for all n ≥ 58.展开更多

In this study, the ...Reliable calculations of nuclear binding energies are crucial for advancing the research of nuclear physics. Machine learning provides an innovative approach to exploring complex physical problems. In this study, the nuclear binding energies are modeled directly using a machine-learning method called the Gaussian process. First, the binding energies for 2238 nuclei with Z > 20 and N > 20 are calculated using the Gaussian process in a physically motivated feature space, yielding an average deviation of 0.046 MeV and a standard deviation of 0.066 MeV. The results show the good learning ability of the Gaussian process in the studies of binding energies. Then, the predictive power of the Gaussian process is studied by calculating the binding energies for 108 nuclei newly included in AME2020. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data, reflecting the good predictive power of the Gaussian process. Moreover, the α-decay energies for 1169 nuclei with 50 ≤ Z ≤ 110 are derived from the theoretical binding energies calculated using the Gaussian process. The average deviation and the standard deviation are, respectively, 0.047 MeV and 0.070 MeV. Noticeably, the calculated α-decay energies for the two new isotopes ^ (204 )Ac(Huang et al. Phys Lett B 834, 137484(2022)) and ^ (207) Th(Yang et al. Phys Rev C 105, L051302(2022)) agree well with the latest experimental data. These results demonstrate that the Gaussian process is reliable for the calculations of nuclear binding energies. Finally, the α-decay properties of some unknown actinide nuclei are predicted using the Gaussian process. The predicted results can be useful guides for future research on binding energies and α-decay properties.展开更多

The equilibrium geometries, the vibrational frequencies, the force constants and the dissociation energies for the ground states of all isotopic water molecules under the dipole electric fields from -0.05 a.u. to 0.05 a.u. are calculated using B3P86/6-311++G(3df,3pf). The results show that when the dipole electric fields change from -0.05 a.u. to 0.05 a.u., the bond length of H-O increases whereas the bond angle of H-O H decreases because of the charge transfer induced by the applied dipole electric field. The vibrational frequencies and the force constants of isotopic water molecules change under the influence of the strong external torque. The dissociation energies increase when the dipole electric fields change from -0.05 a.u. to 0.05 a.u. and the increased dissociation energies are in the order of H2O, HDO, HTO, D2O, DTO, and T2O under the same external electric fields.展开更多

In this work, we mainly focus on reviewing our two projects performed in the past decade. One is about the ions with Z■30 that are generally of astrophysical interest, and the other one is about the highly charged krypton(Z = 36)and tungsten(Z = 74) ions that are relevant in research of magnetic confinement fusion. Two different and independent methods, namely, multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock(MCDHF) and the relativistic many-body perturbation theory(RMBPT) are usually used in our studies. As a complement/extension to our previous works for highly charged tungsten ions with open M-shell and open N-shell, we also mainly focus on presenting and discussing our complete RMBPT and MCDHF calculations for the excitation energies, wavelengths, electric dipole(E1), magnetic dipole(M1), electric quadrupole(E2), and magnetic quadrupole(M2) transition properties, and level lifetimes for the lowest 148 levels belonging to the 3l3configurations in Al-like W61+. We also summarize the uncertainties of our systematical theoretical calculations, by cross-checking/validating our datasets from our RMBPT and MCDHF calculations, and by detailed comparisons with available accurate observations and other theoretical calculations. The data are openly available in Science Data Bank at http://gffzzd3cc09b8251d45dfsnvnq6bnn0ubk6kqb.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/10.57760/sciencedb.10569.展开更多

The neutron proton differential flows and difference of neutron proton collective flows are sensitive to the momentum-dependent symmetry potential. This sensitivity is less affected by both the isoscalar part of nuclear equation of state and in-medium nucleon- nucleon cross sections. Moreover, this sensitivity becomes pronounced with increasing the rapidity cut.展开更多

Among systematic optical potentials for 4He+12 C, this potential has the merit of using a fixed imaginary part of the Woods Saxon form. By optical- model calculations, this potential reproduces the experimental elastic scattering angular distributions of a He+12 C well within the energy range of 26A 60A MeV. It is also applied successfully in calculations of the breakup reactions of 6Li+12 C and 6He+12 C with a three-body continuum discretized coupled-channel method.展开更多

摘要In this study,the chemical freeze-out of hadrons,including light-and strange-flavor particles and light nuclei,produced in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider(RHIC),was investigated.Using the Thermal-FIST thermodynamic statistical model,we analyzed various particle sets:those inclusive of light nuclei,those exclusive to light nuclei,and those solely comprising light nuclei.We determined the chemical freeze-out parameters at√SNN=7.7–200 Ge V and four different centralities.A significant finding was the decrease in the chemical freeze-out temperature Tchwith light-nuclei inclusion,with an even more pronounced reduction when considering light-nuclei yields exclusively.This suggests that light-nuclei formation occurs at a later stage in the system’s evolution at RHIC energies.We present parameterized formulas that describe the energy dependence of Tchand the baryon chemical potentialμB for three distinct particle sets in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energies.Our results reveal at least three distinct Tchat RHIC energies correspond to different freeze-out hypersurfaces:a light-flavor freeze-out temperature of T_L=150.2±6 Me V,a strange-flavor freeze-out temperature T_s=165.1±2.7 Me V,and a light-nuclei freeze-out temperature Tln=141.7±1.4 Me V.Notably,at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC)Pb+Pb 2.76Te V,the expected lower freeze-out temperature for light nuclei was not observed;instead,the Tchfor light nuclei was found to be approximately 10 Me V higher than that for light-flavor hadrons.

摘要An improved method is proposed for the extraction of the symmetry energy coefficient relative to the temperature,asym/T,in the heavy-ion reactions near the Fermi energy region,based on the modified Fisher Model.This method is applied to the primary fragments of antisymmetrized molecular dynamics(AMD)simulations for 46Fe+46Fe,40Ca+40Ca and 48Ca+48Ca at 35 MeVucleon,in order to make direct comparison to the results from the K(N,Z)method of Ono et al.In our improved method,the extracted values of asym/T increase as the size of isotopes increases whereas,in the K(N,Z)method,the results show rather constant behavior.This increase in our result is attributed to the surface contribution of the symmetry energy in finite nuclei.In order to evaluate the surface contribution,the relation asym/T=[asym(V)(1-kS/V A-1/3)]/T is applied and kS/V=1.20~1.25 was extracted.This value is smaller than those extracted from the mass table,reflecting the weakened surface contribution at higher temperature regime.Δμ/T,the difference of the neutron-proton chemical potentials relative to the temperature,is also extracted in this method at the same time.The average values of the extractedΔμ/T,Δμ/T show a linear dependence on the proton-neutron asymmetry parameter of the system,δsys,andΔμ/T=(15.1±0.2)δsys-(0.5±0.1)is obtained.

摘要The concept of matching energy was proposed by Gutman and Wagner firstly in 2012. Let G be a simple graph of order n and λ1, λ2, . . . , λn be the zeros of its matching polynomial. The matching energy of a graph G is defined as ME(G) = Pni=1 |λi|. By the famous Coulson’s formula, matching energies can also be calculated by an improper integral depending on a parameter. A k-claw attaching graph Gu(k) refers to the graph obtained by attaching k pendent edges to the graph G at the vertex u, where u is called the root of Gu(k). In this paper, we use some theories of mathematical analysis to obtain a new technique to compare the matching energies of two k-claw attaching graphs Gu(k) and Hv(k) with the same order, that is, limk→∞[ME(Gu(k)) − ME(Hv(k))] = ME(G − u) − ME(H − v). By the technique, we finally determine unicyclic graphs of order n with the 9th to 13th minimal matching energies for all n ≥ 58.

摘要A density functional theory(DFT)study was employed to investigate the mechanical property,thermal conductivity,Debye temperature,electronic structure and defect chemistry of(Gd1-xSmx)2Zr2O7.All the(Gd1-xSmx)2Zr2O7 compounds exhibit an excellent structural and mechanical stability(Gd0.25Sm0.75)2Zr2O7 has the lowest Young’s modulus of 213.7 GPa,the largest Possion’s ratio of 0.292,the lowest Debye temperature of 491.8 K and the lowest thermal conductivity.The calculated thermal conductivities of(Gd1-xSmx)2Zr2O7 are 1.17-1.21 W/(m·K)by the Clark’s model and 1.32-1.36 W/(m·K)by the Cahall’s model,respectively.The formation energies of O vacancies at 48f site are negative,which increase with the Sm content,however,the formation energies of O vacancies at 8b site are almost invariable.In addition,Sm partly occupying the Gd-site reduces distinctly the formation energies of defects such as A-site vacancies,cation antisite defects,anion Frenkel pairs of oxygen at 8b site and cation interstitials,which suggests that Sm-doped Gd2Zr2O7,especially equimolar GdSmZr2O7,has a better irradiation tolerance.After the 16 MeVTa-ion irradiation at a fluence of 1×1014 or 2×1014 ions/cm2,the crystal structure of GdSmZr2O7 transforms from pyrochlore to a defect fluorite without obvious amorphous phase.

摘要Reliable calculations of nuclear binding energies are crucial for advancing the research of nuclear physics. Machine learning provides an innovative approach to exploring complex physical problems. In this study, the nuclear binding energies are modeled directly using a machine-learning method called the Gaussian process. First, the binding energies for 2238 nuclei with Z > 20 and N > 20 are calculated using the Gaussian process in a physically motivated feature space, yielding an average deviation of 0.046 MeV and a standard deviation of 0.066 MeV. The results show the good learning ability of the Gaussian process in the studies of binding energies. Then, the predictive power of the Gaussian process is studied by calculating the binding energies for 108 nuclei newly included in AME2020. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data, reflecting the good predictive power of the Gaussian process. Moreover, the α-decay energies for 1169 nuclei with 50 ≤ Z ≤ 110 are derived from the theoretical binding energies calculated using the Gaussian process. The average deviation and the standard deviation are, respectively, 0.047 MeV and 0.070 MeV. Noticeably, the calculated α-decay energies for the two new isotopes ^ (204 )Ac(Huang et al. Phys Lett B 834, 137484(2022)) and ^ (207) Th(Yang et al. Phys Rev C 105, L051302(2022)) agree well with the latest experimental data. These results demonstrate that the Gaussian process is reliable for the calculations of nuclear binding energies. Finally, the α-decay properties of some unknown actinide nuclei are predicted using the Gaussian process. The predicted results can be useful guides for future research on binding energies and α-decay properties.

摘要The dissociation limits of isotopic water molecules are derived for the ground state. The equilibrium geometries, the vibrational frequencies, the force constants and the dissociation energies for the ground states of all isotopic water molecules under the dipole electric fields from -0.05 a.u. to 0.05 a.u. are calculated using B3P86/6-311++G(3df,3pf). The results show that when the dipole electric fields change from -0.05 a.u. to 0.05 a.u., the bond length of H-O increases whereas the bond angle of H-O H decreases because of the charge transfer induced by the applied dipole electric field. The vibrational frequencies and the force constants of isotopic water molecules change under the influence of the strong external torque. The dissociation energies increase when the dipole electric fields change from -0.05 a.u. to 0.05 a.u. and the increased dissociation energies are in the order of H2O, HDO, HTO, D2O, DTO, and T2O under the same external electric fields.

摘要Atomic radiative data such as excitation energies, transition wavelengths, radiative rates, and level lifetimes with high precision are the essential parameters for the abundance analysis, simulation, and diagnostics in fusion and astrophysical plasmas. In this work, we mainly focus on reviewing our two projects performed in the past decade. One is about the ions with Z■30 that are generally of astrophysical interest, and the other one is about the highly charged krypton(Z = 36)and tungsten(Z = 74) ions that are relevant in research of magnetic confinement fusion. Two different and independent methods, namely, multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock(MCDHF) and the relativistic many-body perturbation theory(RMBPT) are usually used in our studies. As a complement/extension to our previous works for highly charged tungsten ions with open M-shell and open N-shell, we also mainly focus on presenting and discussing our complete RMBPT and MCDHF calculations for the excitation energies, wavelengths, electric dipole(E1), magnetic dipole(M1), electric quadrupole(E2), and magnetic quadrupole(M2) transition properties, and level lifetimes for the lowest 148 levels belonging to the 3l3configurations in Al-like W61+. We also summarize the uncertainties of our systematical theoretical calculations, by cross-checking/validating our datasets from our RMBPT and MCDHF calculations, and by detailed comparisons with available accurate observations and other theoretical calculations. The data are openly available in Science Data Bank at http://gffzzd3cc09b8251d45dfsnvnq6bnn0ubk6kqb.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/10.57760/sciencedb.10569.
摘要In this editorial,we discuss the remarkable role of physical energies in the control of cell signaling networks and in the specification of the architectural plan of both somatic and stem cells.In particular,we focus on the biological relevance of bioelectricity in the pattern control that orchestrates both developmental and regenerative pathways.To this end,the narrative starts from the dawn of the first studies on animal electricity,reconsidering the pioneer work of Harold Saxton Burr in the light of the current achievements.We finally discuss the most recent evidence showing that bioelectric signaling is an essential component of the informational processes that control pattern specification during embryogenesis,regeneration,or even malignant transformation.We conclude that there is now mounting evidence for the existence of a Morphogenetic Code,and that deciphering this code may lead to unprecedented opportunities for the development of novel paradigms of cure in regenerative and precision medicine.
摘要China has promised to start the national carbon trading system in 2017.In the carbon trading system,the renewable energy projects may obtain additional benefits through the Certified Carbon Emission Reduction(CCER) trade.As the carbon price fluctuates along with the market conditions,such fluctuation enables the renewable power projects to acquire the rights of an option,i.e.it may contain an even higher value due to the uncertainties in the future.While making an investment decision,the renewable power companies may choose to make the investment immediately,or postpone the investment and accumulate more information to increase the return of investment;and for immediate investments,the return must be sufficient to exceed the potential value of a waiting option.To study the investment in renewable power projects subject to the fluctuation of carbon price,this paper adopts the trinomial tree model of real options to estimate the net present value(NPV) and real option value(ROV) of three types of renewable power projects;according to the decision-making rules of real options to defer,all the three types of projects will exercise the option to postpone the investment decision.This thesis also calculates the benchmark prices of the three types of renewable projects at different times,in the two situations of having no government subsidy and having the government subsidy,so as to determine the investment opportunity of a project.The benchmark price decreases gradually along with the increase of government subsidy,indicating that the government subsidy will stimulate the investment in renewable projects.The benchmark price also increases gradually along with the lapse of time,indicating that the uncertainty will increase together with the time span and thus requires an even higher carbon price to determine the investment opportunity.This thesis also analyzes the sensitivity of factors affecting the investment in renewable projects and draws the conclusion that the fluctuation of carbon price is positively related with the benchmark price of renewable power projects,which indicates that the fluctuation of carbon price increases the option value of an investment but postpones the time of investment.As the China's carbon trading system improves gradually,the carbon price will reach a stable status,thus stimulate the power companies to invest in the renewable projects.

摘要Within the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model, we investigate the nuclear collective flows produced in semi-central 197 Au+197 Au collisions at intermediate energies. The neutron proton differential flows and difference of neutron proton collective flows are sensitive to the momentum-dependent symmetry potential. This sensitivity is less affected by both the isoscalar part of nuclear equation of state and in-medium nucleon- nucleon cross sections. Moreover, this sensitivity becomes pronounced with increasing the rapidity cut.

摘要The thermodynamical properties of MgCl_2 in KCI-MgCl_2-LiCl molten electrolytes containing MgCl_2 below 0.5 (mole fraction, the same below) have been determined from the interchange energies of two binary systems KCI-MgCl_2 and LiCI-MgCl_2, by means of a model on the assumptions that the electrolytes in the solution are treated as independent particles instead of their ion forms and the interchange energy between the component pair KCI-LiCl is ignored when compared with those of component pairs KCl-MgCl_2 and MgCl_2-LiCl. The interchange energies, wKCl-MgCl_2 and wMgcCl_2-Licl, are obtained as-70000 and -13800 J.mol-1, from the corresponding binary solutions, respectively.

摘要A common optical potential for 4He+12C at intermediate bombarding energies, which is essential in analyzing exotic nuclei with 4He clusters, is obtained based on the Sao Paulo potential. Among systematic optical potentials for 4He+12 C, this potential has the merit of using a fixed imaginary part of the Woods Saxon form. By optical- model calculations, this potential reproduces the experimental elastic scattering angular distributions of a He+12 C well within the energy range of 26A 60A MeV. It is also applied successfully in calculations of the breakup reactions of 6Li+12 C and 6He+12 C with a three-body continuum discretized coupled-channel method.

摘要First-principles calculations have been performed to study the lithium intercalations in MoS2. The formation energies, changes of volumes, electronic structures and charge densities of the lithium intercalations in MoS2 are presented. Our calculations show that during lithium intercalations in MoS2, the lithium intercalation formation energies per lithium atom are between 2.5 eV to 3.0 eV. The volume expansions of MoS2 due to lithium intercalations are relatively small
