Электромагнитные процессы в многофазном мостовом инверторе напряжения

Рассмотрены электромагнитные процессы в многофазном, мостовом инверторе напряжения при использовании коммутационных; функций и теории линейных импульсных схем. Для активно-индуктивной нагрузки проанализировано регулирование выходного напряжения широтно-импульсной модуляцией по синусоидальному и прямоугольному законам. До определенного соотношения несущей и выходной частот из условия обмена реактивной энергии нагрузки и коэффициента гармоник по току предпочтительна прямоугольная модуляция. Делается вывод о целесообразности создания схем инверторов с нечетным количеством фаз и соединении нагрузки в звезду. При анализе квазиустановившихся процессов в. системе инвертор-двигатель многофазный асинхронный короткозамкнутый двигатель приводится к эквивалентной двухфазной машине и все необходимые соотношения определяются методом обобщенных векторов. До определенного соотношения несущей и выходной частот также выводятся преимущества прямоугольной модуляции по величине пульсации, момента и скорости

Revealing Grain Boundary Sliding from Textures of a Deformed Nanocrystalline Pd–Au Alloy

Employing a recent modeling scheme for grain boundary sliding [Zhao et al. Adv. Eng. Mater. 2017, doi:10.1002/adem.201700212], crystallographic textures were simulated for nanocrystalline fcc metals deformed in shear compression. It is shown that, as grain boundary sliding increases, the texture strength decreases while the signature of the texture type remains the same. Grain boundary sliding affects the texture components differently with respect to intensity and angular position. A comparison of a simulation and an experiment on a Pd–10 atom % Au alloy with a 15 nm grain size reveals that, at room temperature, the predominant deformation mode is grain boundary sliding contributing to strain by about 60%

Phase Transformation Induced by High Pressure Torsion in the High-Entropy Alloy CrMnFeCoNi

The forward and reverse phase transformation from face-centered cubic (fcc) to hexagonal close-packed (hcp) in the equiatomic high-entropy alloy (HEA) CrMnFeCoNi has been investigated with diffraction of high-energy synchrotron radiation. The forward transformation has been induced by high pressure torsion at room and liquid nitrogen temperature by applying different hydrostatic pressures and large shear strains. The volume fraction of hcp phase has been determined by Rietveld analysis after pressure release and heating-up to room temperature as a function of hydrostatic pressure. It increases with pressure and decreasing temperature. Depending on temperature, a certain pressure is necessary to induce the phase transformation. In addition, the onset pressure depends on hydrostaticity; it is lowered by shear stresses. The reverse transformation evolves over a long period of time at ambient conditions due to the destabilization of the hcp phase. The effect of the phase transformation on the microstructure and texture development and corresponding microhardness of the HEA at room temperature is demonstrated. The phase transformation leads to an inhomogeneous microstructure, weakening of the shear texture, and a surprising hardness anomaly. Reasons for the hardness anomaly are discussed in detail

Hall-plot of the phase diagram for Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2

The Hall effect is a powerful tool for investigating carrier type and density. For single-band materials, the Hall coefficient is traditionally expressed simply by $R_H^{-1} = -en$, where $e$ is the charge of the carrier, and $n$ is the concentration. However, it is well known that in the critical region near a quantum phase transition, as it was demonstrated for cuprates and heavy fermions, the Hall coefficient exhibits strong temperature and doping dependencies, which can not be described by such a simple expression, and the interpretation of the Hall coefficient for Fe-based superconductors is also problematic. Here, we investigate thin films of Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ with compressive and tensile in-plane strain in a wide range of Co doping. Such in-plane strain changes the band structure of the compounds, resulting in various shifts of the whole phase diagram as a function of Co doping. We show that the resultant phase diagrams for different strain states can be mapped onto a single phase diagram with the Hall number. This universal plot is attributed to the critical fluctuations in multiband systems near the antiferromagnetic transition, which may suggest a direct link between magnetic and superconducting properties in the BaFe$_2$As$_2$ system.Comment: Accepted for publication in Scientific Reports, 6 main figures plus Supplemental Information (8 figures

Ti/Al multi-layered sheets: Accumulative roll bonding (Part A)

Co-deformation of Al and Ti by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) with intermediate heat treatments is utilized to prepare multi-layered Ti/Al sheets. These sheets show a high specific strength due to the activation of various hardening mechanisms imposed during deformation, such as: hardening by grain refinement, work hardening and phase boundary hardening. The latter is even enhanced by the confinement of the layers during deformation. The evolution of the microstructure with a special focus on grain refinement and structural integrity is traced, and the correlation to the mechanical properties is shown

The influence of the in-plane lattice constant on the superconducting transition temperature of FeSe0.7Te0.3 thin films

Epitaxial Fe(Se,Te) thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on (La0.18Sr0.82)(Al0.59Ta0.41)O3 (LSAT), CaF2-buffered LSAT and bare CaF2 substrates, which exhibit an almost identical in-plane lattice parameter. The composition of all Fe(Se,Te) films were determined to be FeSe0.7Te0.3 by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, irrespective of the substrate. Albeit the lattice parameters of all templates have comparable values, the in-plane lattice parameter of the FeSe0.7Te0.3 films varies significantly. We found that the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of FeSe0.7Te0.3 thin films is strongly correlated with their a-axis lattice parameter. The highest Tc of over 19 K was observed for the film on bare CaF2 substrate, which is related to unexpectedly large in-plane compressive strain originating mostly from the thermal expansion mismatch between the FeSe0.7Te0.3 film and the substrate.Comment: Accepted in AIP Advances, 4 figure

Universal scaling behavior of the upper critical field in strained FeSe0.7Te0.3 thin films

open15Revealing the universal behaviors of iron-based superconductors (FBS) is important to elucidate the microscopic theory of superconductivity. In this work, we investigate the effect of in-plane strain on the slope of the upper critical field H c2 at the superconducting transition temperature T c (i.e. -dH c2/dT) for FeSe0.7Te0.3 thin films. The in-plane strain tunes T c in a broad range, while the composition and disorder are almost unchanged. We show that -dH c2/dT scales linearly with T c, indicating that FeSe0.7Te0.3 follows the same universal behavior as observed for pnictide FBS. The observed behavior is consistent with a multiband superconductivity paired by interband interaction such as sign change s ± superconductivity.openYuan, Feifei; Grinenko, Vadim; Iida, Kazumasa; Richter, Stefan; Pukenas, Aurimas; Skrotzki, Werner; Sakoda, Masahito; Naito, Michio; Sala, Alberto; Putti, Marina; Yamashita, Aichi; Takano, Yoshihiko; Shi, Zhixiang; Nielsch, Kornelius; Hühne, RubenYuan, Feifei; Grinenko, Vadim; Iida, Kazumasa; Richter, Stefan; Pukenas, Aurimas; Skrotzki, Werner; Sakoda, Masahito; Naito, Michio; Sala, Alberto; Putti, Marina; Yamashita, Aichi; Takano, Yoshihiko; Shi, Zhixiang; Nielsch, Kornelius; Hühne, Rube

Nanomaterials by severe plastic deformation: review of historical developments and recent advances

International audienceSevere plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as NanoSPD, experienced a significant progress within the past two decades. Beside classic SPD methods such as high-pressure torsion, equal-channel angular pressing, accumulative roll-bonding, twist extrusion, and multi-directional forging, various continuous techniques were introduced to produce upscaled samples. Moreover, numerous alloys, glasses, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, and their composites were processed. The SPD methods were used to synthesize new materials or to stabilize metastable phases with advanced mechanical and functional properties. High strength combined with high ductility, low/room-temperature superplasticity, creep resistance, hydrogen storage, photocatalytic hydrogen production, photocatalytic CO2 conversion, superconductivity, thermoelectric performance, radiation resistance, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility are some highlighted properties of SPD-processed materials. This article reviews recent advances in the NanoSPD field and provides a brief history regarding its progress from the ancient times to modernity
