The valley filter efficiency of monolayer graphene and bilayer graphene line defect model
In addition to electron charge and spin, novel materials host another degree
of freedom, the valley. For a junction composed of valley filter sandwiched by
two normal terminals, we focus on the valley efficiency under disorder with two
valley filter models based on monolayer and bilayer graphene. Applying the
transfer matrix method, valley resolved transmission coefficients are obtained.
We find that: i) under weak disorder, when the line defect length is over about
, it functions as a perfect channel (quantized conductance) and
valley filter (totally polarized); ii) in the diffusive regime, combination
effects of backscattering and bulk states assisted intervalley transmission
enhance the conductance and suppress the valley polarization; iii) for very
long line defect, though the conductance is small, polarization is indifferent
to length. Under perpendicular magnetics field, the characters of charge and
valley transport are only slightly affected. Finally we discuss the efficiency
of transport valley polarized current in a hybrid system.Comment: 6 figure
Action spectrum of temperature in natural climate environment and prediction of temperature response in concrete
AbstractThe temperature in concrete is a main factor influencing concrete carbonization, chloride diffusion and the corrosion rate of steel bars in the concrete. To predict the temperature response in concrete in a natural climate environment, the experiments for temperature response in concrete under artificial and natural climate environment conditions were carried out. The results indicate that the temperature responses in concrete show obvious hysteresis characteristics. A prediction model for temperature response in concrete was presented based on the behavior of the concrete's thermal conduction. Then, a method for processing the climate temperature data was devised using the mathematical principle of extreme difference dissection, through which a temperature action spectrum can be formed. In view of the above mentioned studies, the corresponding temperature response in the concrete could be predicted. Comparisons were carried out between the prediction and the measurement of the temperature responses and the result showed that they were consistent
Characteristics of the Tan-Lu Strike-Slip Fault and Its Controls on Hydrocarbon Accumulation in the Liaodong Bay Sub-Basin, Bohai Bay Basin, China
The Tan-Lu Fault, one of the major strike-slip structures in China, controlled the development of most of the Meso-Cenozoic NNE trend rifted petroliferous basins in east China. It has cut across the Bohai Bay Basin since the late Cenozoic and played an important role in hydrocarbon accumulation and distribution in the Liaodong Bay sub-basin of the Bohai Bay Basin. The purpose of this paper is to study the geometry of the Tan-Lu strike-slip and how it affected petroleum system development in the Liaodong Bay sub-basin. The innovative seismic interpretation revealed the western branch of the Tan-Lu strike-slip fault cut through the Liaozhong depression of the sub-basin and its eastern branch superimposed on the earlier extensional boundary fault of the sub-basin. The strike-slip movement is characterized by a distinctive strike-slip zone associated with the NE en echelon faults in the central part of the Liaozhong depression and also caused the formation of the Liaodong uplift and the Liaodong depression in the east Liaodong Bay Sub-basin. Rapid movement of the Tan-Lu strike-slip fault has deepened the Liaozhong depression and facilitated the maturation of source rock. Related fault movement formed a series of structural traps and paleotopographic highs and lows that subsequently controlled sediment dispersal and the distribution of stratigraphic-related traps within sequence stratigraphic framework. Exploration practice, geochemical study and petroleum system modeling demonstrate that the Tan-Lu strike-slip and its associated faults acted as good hydrocarbon migration pathways and hydrocarbon accumulated in many traps associated with the Tan-Lu strike-slip zone. Many recent discoveries along the strike-slip zone prove that the petroleum system in Liaodong Bay Sub-basin was mainly controlled by the activity of the Tan-Lu strike-slip. The resulting hydrocarbon accumulation model in this sub-basin may provide a paradigm for the prediction of hydrocarbon accumulation to other east China basins along the Tan-Lu strike-slip fault zone.
