The steady-state performance of Halbach magnetized brushless ac machines when operated in constant torque and flux-weakening modes is investigated both theoretically and experimentally, with particular emphasis on the influence of cross-coupling magnetic saturation on the torque capability

Dynamic and Postdeformation Recrystallization of Nuclear-Grade 316LN Stainless Steel

Nuclear-grade 316LN stainless steel was subjected to single and double compressions at 1173–1473 K and strain rates of 0.01–10 s⁻¹. The dynamic and postdeformation recrystallization was investigated through analysis of the stress–strain curves and microstructure evolution. The thermal deformation equation and the quantitative relationships between the critical stress for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization and the Zener–Hollomon parameter, Z, and between the dynamic recrystallization grain size D and Z were derived. Dynamic recrystallization developed through an ordinary mechanism at low Z values and through a necklace mechanism at high Z values, with a critical Z value of about 3.6 10¹⁶ . At 1273–1473 K, softening of 316LN stainless steel after deformation was characterized by an Avrami-type equation, where the Avrami parameter, n, has no appreciable temperature dependence, and an average value of n and the activation energy, Qrex , were 0.68 and 129 kJ/mol, respectively.Нержавеющая сталь 316LN ядерного класса подвергалась одно- и двукратному сжатию при 1173...1473 К и скорости деформации 0,01...10 с⁻¹. Динамическая и постдеформационная рекристаллизация изучалась с помощью анализа зависимости деформации от напряжения и развития микроструктуры. Были выведены уравнение тепловой деформации и количественные зависимости между критическим напряжением инициирования динамической рекристаллизации и параметром Зенера Холломона Z, а также между размером зерна D при динамической рекристаллизации и Z. Динамическая рекристаллизация развивалась по обычному механизму при низких значениях Z и по механизму ожерелья при высоких значениях Z, при критическом значении Z примерно 3 6 10¹⁶. При 1273...1473 К разупрочнение нержавеющей стали 316LN после деформирования описывается уравнением Аврами, где параметр Аврами n не проявляет выраженной температурной зависимости, а его среднее значение и энергия активации Qrex составляют 0,68 и 129 кДж/моль соответственно

Kondo spin liquid and magnetically long-range ordered states in the Kondo necklace model

A simplified version of the symmetric Kondo lattice model, the Kondo necklace model, is studied by using a representation of impurity and conduction electron spins in terms of local Kondo singlet and triplet operators. Within a mean field theory, a spin gap always appears in the spin triplet excitation spectrum in 1D, leading to a Kondo spin liquid state for any finite values of coupling strength $t/J$ (with $t$ as hopping and $J$ as exchange); in 2D and 3D cubic lattices the spin gaps are found to vanish continuously around $(t/J)_c\approx 0.70$ and $(t/J)_c\approx 0.38$, respectively, where quantum phase transitions occur and the Kondo spin liquid state changes into an antiferromagnetically long-range ordered state. These results are in agreement with variational Monte Carlo, higher-order series expansion, and recent quantum Monte Carlo calculations for the symmetric Kondo lattice modelComment: Revtex, four pages, three figures; to be published in Physical Review B1, 1 July (2000

Finite temperature properties of the 2D Kondo lattice model

Using recently developed Lanczos technique we study finite-temperature properties of the 2D Kondo lattice model at various fillings of the conduction band. At half filling the quasiparticle gap governs physical properties of the chemical potential and the charge susceptibility at small temperatures. In the intermediate coupling regime quasiparticle gap scales approximately linearly with Kondo coupling. Temperature dependence of the spin susceptibility reveals the existence of two different temperature scales. A spin gap in the intermediate regime leads to exponential drop of the spin susceptibility at low temperatures. Unusual scaling of spin susceptibility is found for temperatures above 0.6 J. Charge susceptibility at finite doping reveals existence of heavy quasiparticles. A new low energy scale is found at finite doping.Comment: REVTeX, 7 pages, 7 figure

The spin and charge gaps of the half-filled N-leg Kondo ladders

In this work, we study N-leg Kondo ladders at half-filling through the density matrix renormalization group. We found non-zero spin and charge gaps for any finite number of legs and Kondo coupling $J>0$. We also show evidence of the existence of a quantum critical point in the two dimensional Kondo lattice model, in agreement with previous works. Based on the binding energy of two holes, we did not find evidence of superconductivity in the 2D Kondo lattice model close to half-filling.Comment: 4 pages, 1 table, 3 fig

Thermodynamics of the half-filled Kondo lattice model around the atomic limit

We present a perturbation theory for studying thermodynamic properties of the Kondo spin liquid phase of the half-filled Kondo lattice model. The grand partition function is derived to calculate chemical potential, spin and charge susceptibilities and specific heat. The treatment is applicable to the model with strong couplings in any dimensions (one, two and three dimensions). The chemical potential equals zero at any temperatures, satisfying the requirement of the particle-hole symmetry. Thermally activated behaviors of the spin(charge) susceptibility due to the spin(quasiparticle) gap can be seen and the two-peak structure of the specific heat is obtained. The same treatment to the periodic Anderson model around atomic limit is also briefly discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
