About The Influence of Chromium on the Damping Capacity of Mn – 40 % Cu Alloy in the Field of Small Oscillation Amplitudes

В статье представлены результаты исследования действия хрома на демпфирующую способность марганцево-медных сплавов в области малых амплитуд колебаний. Сплавы высокого демпфирования на основе Mn – Cu можно эффективно применять для уменьшения вибрации и шума. Однако высокая демпфирующая способность этих сплавов со временем снижается. Исследований, определяющих влияние различных легирующих элементов на величину и стабильность демпфирующей способности двойных сплавов Mn – Cu в области малых амплитуд колебаний, недостаточно. В настоящей работе выяснили действие хрома в концентрациях (0,6 … 1,2) % на демпфирующую способность сплава Mn – 40 % Cu в области малых амплитуд колебаний. Марганцево-медные сплавы выплавляли в индукционной печи с последующим литьём в чугунные изложницы. Из полученных слитков механической обработкой резанием изготавливали образцы для исследований размерами (11 × 15 × 117) ± 1 мм. В ходе эксперимента исследуемые образцы подвергали старению при температуре 643 К в течение (0,5 … 40) часов. Анализировали изменение демпфирующей способности марганцево-медных сплавов (логарифмический декремент затухания колебаний) при продольных колебаниях образцов в диапазоне частот (14 … 17) кГц и амплитудах относительного сдвига (1 … 3) ∙ 10–6. Полученные данные свидетельствуют о том, что легирование сплава Mn – 40 % Cu хромом от 0,6 % до 1,2 % не повышает его демпфирующую способность в литом состоянии, а также в литом и состаренном при температуре 643 К в течение 40 часов состоянии. Установлено, что минимальные значения частот резонансных колебаний образцов марганцево-медных сплавов предшествуют максимальным уровням демпфирующей способности этих сплавов. Выявлено, что высокая демпфирующая способность литых и состаренных при 643 К в течение 40 часов сплавов Mn – 40 % Cu, Mn – (38,8 … 39,4) % Cu – (0,6 … 1,2) % Сr после естественного старения при 293 К в течение 7 месяцев снижается в (1,6 … 1,9) разаThe results of a study of the influence of chromium on the damping capacity of manganese-copper alloys in the field of small oscillation amplitudes are presented in the article. High damping alloys based on Mn – Cu can be effectively used to reduce vibration and noise. However, the high damping capacity of these alloys decreases over time. Studies that determine the influence of various alloying elements on the magnitude and stability of the damping capacity of Mn – Cu double alloys in the field of small oscillation amplitudes are not enough. In the work the effect of chromium in concentrations (0.6 … 1.2) % on the damping capacity of the Mn – 40 % Cu alloy in the field of small oscillation amplitudes was elucidated. Manganese-copper alloys were smelted in an induction furnace followed by casting into cast-iron molds. From the melted ingots samples for studies with dimensions (11 × 15 × 117) ± 1 mm were obtained by mechanical cutting. During the experiment, the studied samples were subjected to aging at a temperature of 643 K for (0,5 … 40) hours. The change in the damping capacity of manganese-copper alloys (the logarithmic decrement of attenuation of oscillations) was analyzed for longitudinal oscillations of the samples in the frequency range (14 … 17) kHz and the amplitudes of the relative shift (1 … 3) × 10–6. The data obtained indicate that alloying the Mn – 40 % Cu alloy with chromium from 0,6 % to 1,2 % does not increase its damping capacity in the cast state, as well as in the cast and aged at a temperature of 643 K for 40 hours. It was found that the minimum values of the frequencies of resonant vibrations of samples of manganese-copper alloys precede the maximum levels of the damping capacity of these alloys. It’s revealed that the high damping capacity of cast and aged at 643 K for 40 hours alloys Mn – 40 % Cu, Mn – (38,8 … 39,4) % Cu – (0,6 … 1,2) % Cr after natural aging at 293 K for 7 months decreases by (1,6 … 1,9) time

Ferroelectric nanostructure having switchable multi-stable vortex states

A ferroelectric nanostructure formed as a low dimensional nanoscale ferroelectric material having at least one vortex ring of polarization generating an ordered toroid moment switchable between multi-stable states. A stress-free ferroelectric nanodot under open-circuit-like electrical boundary conditions maintains such a vortex structure for their local dipoles when subject to a transverse inhomogeneous static electric field controlling the direction of the macroscopic toroidal moment. Stress is also capable of controlling the vortex\u27s chirality because of the electromechanical coupling that exists in ferroelectric nanodots

Mssbauer study of Се2Fe17 compound in different magnetic states

Mssbauer spectra of two samples of the Ce2Fe17 compound have been analyzed and hyperfine parameters, compared. The samples were subjected to different preparation techniques and display different magnetic properties. It is established that to well fit the Mssbauer spectra of these samples, an appropriate model should be used that takes into account an additional subspectrum differing in hyperfine parameters from the subspectra employed in conventional models. It is shown that in the ferromagnetic state, the samples contain local regions with an antiferromagnetic order, the volume fraction of which, being different for two samples, increases on approaching the temperature of ferro-to-antiferromagnet transition

Refractive index tomography of turbid media by bifocal optical coherence refractometry

We demonstrate tomographic imaging of the refractive index of turbid media using bifocal optical coherence refractometry (BOCR). The technique, which is a variant of optical coherence tomography, is based on the measurement of the optical pathlength difference between two foci simultaneously present in a medium of interest. We describe a new method to axially shift the bifocal optical pathlength that avoids the need to physically relocate the objective lens or the sample during an axial scan, and present an experimental realization based on an adaptive liquid-crystal lens. We present experimental results, including video clips, which demonstrate refractive index tomography of a range of turbid liquid phantoms, as well as of human skin in vivo.<br /

Real-time Monitoring for the Next Core-Collapse Supernova in JUNO

Core-collapse supernova (CCSN) is one of the most energetic astrophysical events in the Universe. The early and prompt detection of neutrinos before (pre-SN) and during the SN burst is a unique opportunity to realize the multi-messenger observation of the CCSN events. In this work, we describe the monitoring concept and present the sensitivity of the system to the pre-SN and SN neutrinos at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), which is a 20 kton liquid scintillator detector under construction in South China. The real-time monitoring system is designed with both the prompt monitors on the electronic board and online monitors at the data acquisition stage, in order to ensure both the alert speed and alert coverage of progenitor stars. By assuming a false alert rate of 1 per year, this monitoring system can be sensitive to the pre-SN neutrinos up to the distance of about 1.6 (0.9) kpc and SN neutrinos up to about 370 (360) kpc for a progenitor mass of 30$M_{\odot}$ for the case of normal (inverted) mass ordering. The pointing ability of the CCSN is evaluated by using the accumulated event anisotropy of the inverse beta decay interactions from pre-SN or SN neutrinos, which, along with the early alert, can play important roles for the followup multi-messenger observations of the next Galactic or nearby extragalactic CCSN.Comment: 24 pages, 9 figure

Potential of Core-Collapse Supernova Neutrino Detection at JUNO

JUNO is an underground neutrino observatory under construction in Jiangmen, China. It uses 20kton liquid scintillator as target, which enables it to detect supernova burst neutrinos of a large statistics for the next galactic core-collapse supernova (CCSN) and also pre-supernova neutrinos from the nearby CCSN progenitors. All flavors of supernova burst neutrinos can be detected by JUNO via several interaction channels, including inverse beta decay, elastic scattering on electron and proton, interactions on C12 nuclei, etc. This retains the possibility for JUNO to reconstruct the energy spectra of supernova burst neutrinos of all flavors. The real time monitoring systems based on FPGA and DAQ are under development in JUNO, which allow prompt alert and trigger-less data acquisition of CCSN events. The alert performances of both monitoring systems have been thoroughly studied using simulations. Moreover, once a CCSN is tagged, the system can give fast characterizations, such as directionality and light curve
