The assisting Gaussian laser beam can confine CaF molecules transversely owing to the optical Stark effect. Simulations suggest that the present scheme is superior to previous Stark decelerators. Under typical experimental conditions, when the assisting laser frequency is red-detuned to the molecular transition(λ～606.3 nm) by5.0 GHz and the laser power is about 5.6 W, the proposed decelerator can achieve a total number at the order of 10~4 CaF molecules with a number density at the order of 10~8 cm^(-3). The equivalent temperature of the obtained cold CaF molecules is 2.3 mK. Additionally, the desired assisting laser power can be as low as about 1.2 W if keeping the red-detuning value to be 1.0 GHz, which further suggests its experimental feasibility.展开更多

The predicted data were further fitted to obtain the collision crosssection. The elastic collision cross-section of CaF at the temperature around 2 mK is as high as 6.5 × 10^(-9) cm^2 and the collision rate is over 4.1 × 10~6 Hz. Additionally, we found that an orientation electric field will simplify the intermolecular interaction potential function from quaternary into ternary and the collision cross-section will be raised by about three orders. All-optical evaporative cooling of cold CaF is discussed in the conclusion.展开更多

Serrated flow in the tensile stress-strain curves was observed in the temperature range from 300 ℃ to 500 ℃. Normal DSA behavior was found at temperatures ranging from 300 ℃ to 350 ℃, while inverse DSA behavior was observed at temperatures ranging from 400 ℃ to 500 ℃. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation, work hardening index, and fracture features were not affected by temperature and strain rates in DSA regime. Negative strain-rate sensitivity of flow stress was observed in DSA regime. The analysis suggests that the ordering of the substitutional solutes around some defects like mobile dislocations and stacking faults due to the thermal activated process may cause the serrations on the tensile curves.展开更多
