Herein, unique magnetic vortex domain is firstly obtained in the Ni nanoparticles (NPs) reduced from the Ni-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) precursor. Due to both the highsymmetry spheres and boundary restriction of graphited carbon shell, confined magnetic vortex structure isgenerated in the nanoscale Ni core during the annealing process. Meanwhile, MOFs-derived Ni@C assemblypowders construct special magnetic flux distribution and electron migration routes. MOFs-derived Ni@C microspheres exhibit outstanding electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption performance. The minimum reflection lossvalue of Ni@C–V microspheres with vortex domain can reach 54.6 dB at only 2.5 mm thickness, and theefficient absorption bandwidth up to 5.0 GHz at only 2.0 mm. Significantly, configuration evolution of magneticvortex driven by the orientation and reversion of polarity core boosts EM wave energy dissipation. Magneticcoupling effect among neighboring Ni@C microspheres significantly enhances the magnetic reaction intensity.Graphitized carbon matrix and heterojunction Ni–C interfaces further offer the conduction loss and interfacialpolarization. As result, MOFs-derived Ni@C–V powders display unique magnetic vortex, electronic migrationnetwork, and high-performance EM wave energy dissipation.展开更多

文摘Lightweight,high-efficiency and low reflection electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding polymer composites are greatly desired for addressing the challenge of ever-increasing electromagnetic pollution.Lightweight layered foam/film PVDF nanocomposites with efficient EMI shielding effectiveness and ultralow reflection power were fabricated by physical foaming.The unique layered foam/film structure was composed of PVDF/SiCnw/MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx)composite foam as absorption layer and highly conductive PVDF/MWCNT/GnPs composite film as a reflection layer.The foam layer with numerous heterogeneous interfaces developed between the SiC nanowires(SiCnw)and 2D MXene nanosheets imparted superior EM wave attenuation capability.Furthermore,the microcellular structure effectively tuned the impedance matching and prolonged the wave propagating path by internal scattering and multiple reflections.Meanwhile,the highly conductive PVDF/MWCNT/GnPs composite(~220 S m^(−1))exhibited superior reflectivity(R)of 0.95.The tailored structure in the layered foam/film PVDF nanocomposite exhibited an EMI SE of 32.6 dB and a low reflection bandwidth of 4 GHz(R<0.1)over the Kuband(12.4-18.0 GHz)at a thickness of 1.95 mm.A peak SER of 3.1×10^(-4) dB was obtained which corresponds to only 0.0022% reflection efficiency.In consequence,this study introduces a feasible approach to develop lightweight,high-efficiency EMI shielding materials with ultralow reflection for emerging applications.

文摘Magnetic domain structure plays an important role in regulating the electromagnetic properties, which dominatesthe magnetic response behaviors. Herein, unique magnetic vortex domain is firstly obtained in the Ni nanoparticles (NPs) reduced from the Ni-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) precursor. Due to both the highsymmetry spheres and boundary restriction of graphited carbon shell, confined magnetic vortex structure isgenerated in the nanoscale Ni core during the annealing process. Meanwhile, MOFs-derived Ni@C assemblypowders construct special magnetic flux distribution and electron migration routes. MOFs-derived Ni@C microspheres exhibit outstanding electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption performance. The minimum reflection lossvalue of Ni@C–V microspheres with vortex domain can reach 54.6 dB at only 2.5 mm thickness, and theefficient absorption bandwidth up to 5.0 GHz at only 2.0 mm. Significantly, configuration evolution of magneticvortex driven by the orientation and reversion of polarity core boosts EM wave energy dissipation. Magneticcoupling effect among neighboring Ni@C microspheres significantly enhances the magnetic reaction intensity.Graphitized carbon matrix and heterojunction Ni–C interfaces further offer the conduction loss and interfacialpolarization. As result, MOFs-derived Ni@C–V powders display unique magnetic vortex, electronic migrationnetwork, and high-performance EM wave energy dissipation.

文摘A high resolution one-dimensional thermodynamic snow and ice(HIGHTSI)model was used to model the annual cycle of landfast ice mass and heat balance near Zhongshan Station,East Antarctica.The model was forced and initialized by meteorological and sea ice in situ observations from April 2015 to April 2016.HIGHTSI produced a reasonable snow and ice evolution in the validation experiments,with a negligible mean ice thickness bias of(0.003±0.06)m compared to in situ observations.To further examine the impact of different snow conditions on annual evolution of first-year ice(FYI),four sensitivity experiments with different precipitation schemes(0,half,normal,and double)were performed.The results showed that compared to the snow-free case,the insulation effect of snow cover decreased bottom freezing in the winter,leading to 15%–26%reduction of maximum ice thickness.Thick snow cover caused negative freeboard and flooding,and then snow ice formation,which contributed 12%–49%to the maximum ice thickness.In early summer,snow cover delayed the onset of ice melting for about one month,while the melting of snow cover led to the formation of superimposed ice,accounting for 5%–10%of the ice thickness.Internal ice melting was a significant contributor in summer whether snow cover existed or not,accounting for 35%–56%of the total summer ice loss.The multi-year ice(MYI)simulations suggested that when snow-covered ice persisted from FYI to the 10th MYI,winter congelation ice percentage decreased from 80%to 44%(snow ice and superimposed ice increased),while the contribution of internal ice melting in the summer decreased from 45%to 5%(bottom ice melting dominated).

文摘As an important green manufacturing process,dry grinding has problems such as high grinding temperature and insufficient cooling capacity.Aiming at the problems of sticking and burns in dry grinding of titanium alloys,grinding performance evaluation of molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2))solid lubricant coated brazed cubic boron carbide(CBN)grinding wheel(MoS_(2)-coated CBN wheel)in dry grinding titanium alloys was carried out.The lubrication mechanism of MoS_(2)in the grinding process is analyzed,and the MoS_(2)-coated CBN wheel is prepared.The results show that the MoS_(2)solid lubricant can form a lubricating film on the ground surface and reduce the friction coefficient and grinding force.Within the experimental parameters,normal grinding force decreased by 42.5%,and tangential grinding force decreased by 28.1%.MoS_(2)lubricant can effectively improve the heat dissipation effect of titanium alloy grinding arc area.Compared with common CBN grinding wheel,MoS_(2)-coated CBN wheel has lower grinding temperature.When the grinding depth reaches 20μm,the grinding temperature decreased by 30.5%.The wear of CBN grains of grinding wheel were analyzed by mathematical statistical method.MoS_(2)lubricating coating can essentially decrease the wear of grains,reduce the adhesion of titanium alloy chip,prolong the service life of grinding wheel,and help to enhance the surface quality of workpiece.This research provides high-quality and efficient technical support for titanium alloy grinding.

文摘Administrative division is an important means of political power reorganization and management,resource integration and optimal allocation,which profoundly shapes the spatial layout of urban development in China.To clarify and compare differences between counties,county-level cities and municipal districts is the primary premise for the study of administrative division and urban development.This paper analyzes the institutional differences between counties and county-level cities,as well as counties,county-level cities and municipal districts,from the aspects of organizational structure,urban construction planning,land management,finance,taxation and public services.The research shows that the establishment of counties,county-level cities and municipal districts adapt to different levels and stages of economic and social development,and the conversion from county to county-level city and the conversion from county(or county-level city)to municipal district are both important transformation ways to change their administrative systems,which has different management system and operation pattern.At the same time,the transformation of county-level administrative region is also a“double-edged sword”,we should think about the administrative system as a whole to decide whether it should be adjusted,and effectively respond to the actual needs of local economic and social development.

文摘The construction of one-dimensional(1D)sulfides has attracted extensive attention for improving mi-crowave absorption(MA)performance owing to the anisotropic conductive networks.However,the syn-thesis of conductive 1D hierarchical materials with unique interfacial polarization and excellent MA prop-erties remains challenging.In this study,cable-like MoS_(2)/Ni_(3)S_(2) was synthesized by a one-step hydrother-mal strategy.The complex permittivity of the binary composites could be improved by tuning the thick-ness of the MoS_(2) coating.Importantly,the construction of heterogeneous contacts by MoS_(2) and Ni_(3)S_(2) contributed to enhanced polarization loss,and the charge distribution was validated by electron holog-raphy.The wide efficient absorption bandwidth can reach above 4.8 GHz at a thin thickness.These new discoveries shed light on novel structures for 1D sulfide materials and the design of functional core-shell composites for microwave absorption.

文摘Gamma titanium-aluminum(γ-TiAl)intermetallic compounds are increasingly used in manufacturing key hot-end components(e.g.,blade tenon)in aero engines due to their high specific strength and lightweight properties.Creep feed profile grinding(CFPG)as a crucial precision process that is applied to produce the final profile of the blade tenon.However,sudden surface burns and microcracks of machined c-TiAl blade tenon often occur because of its low plasticity and high strength during grinding processes,leading to poor surface integrity.In this work,CFPG experiments based on the profile characteristics ofγ-TiAl blade tenon were performed and an associated undeformed chip thickness model considering grain–workpiece contact condition was established to explore the evolution of the surface integrity.Subsequently,the surface integrity was analyzed at different positions of the blade tenon in terms of surface roughness and morphology,metallographic structure,microhardness,and residual stress.Results show that the profile characteristics of blade tenon have a significant influence on machined surface integrity because of the thermomechanical effect at various detecting positions.The residual stress was established based on the undeformed chip thickness model considering the profile structure,with a prediction error of 10%–15%.The thermomechanical effect is more obvious at the bottom area,where the surface roughness,work hardening degree,and subsurface plastic deformation range are the largest,while the values at the bevel area are the smallest.Based on the undeformed chip thickness model,a residual stress finite element simulation was conducted by employing thermomechanical coupled effects.In addition,the error between the simulation and the experiment was between 10%–15%.Strain and strain rate equations were established through the relationship between material displacement and depth.The average strain and strain rate of the ground surface when ap is 1.0 mm are 18.8%and 33.2%larger than when ap is 0.5 mm,respectively.This study deepens the understanding of surface integrity under the influence of CFPGγ-TiAl and provides a practical reference and theoretical basis for realizing high-quality profile grinding of other complex parts.

文摘Gamma titanium-aluminum intermetallic compounds(γ-TiAl)have gained considerable attentions in the aerospace industry due to their exceptional thermal resilience and comprehensive attributes,making them a prime example of lightweight and advanced materials.To address the frequent occurrence of burns and severe tool deterioration during the process of high-efficiency deep grinding(HEDG)onγ-TiAl alloys,ultrasonic vibration-assisted high-efficiency deep grinding(UVHEDG)has been emerged.Results indicate that in UVHEDG,the grinding temperature is on average 15.4%lower than HEDG due to the employment of ultrasonic vibrations,enhancing coolant penetration into the grinding area and thus reducing heat generation.Besides,UVHEDG possesses superior performance in terms of grinding forces compared to HEDG.As the material removal volume(MRV)increases,the tangential grinding force(F_(t))and normal grinding force(F_(n))of UVHEDG increase but to a lesser extent than in HEDG,with an average reduction of16.25%and 14.7%,respectively.UVHEDG primarily experiences microfracture of grains,whereas HEDG undergoes large-scale wear later in the process due to increased grinding forces.The surface roughness(R_(a))characteristics of UVHEDG are superior,with the average value of R_(a)decreasing by 46.5%compared to HEDG as MRV increases.The surface morphology in UVHEDG exhibits enhanced smoothness and a shallower layer of plastic deformation.Grinding chips generated by UVHEDG show a more shear-like shape,with the applied influence of ultrasonic vibration on chip morphology,thereby impacting material removal behaviors.These aforementioned findings contribute to enhanced machining efficiency and product quality ofγ-TiAl alloys after employing ultrasonic vibrations into HEDG.
