A Study of Analytical Solution for the Special Dissolution Rate Model of Rock Salt
By calculating the concentration distributions of rock salt solutions at the boundary layer, an ordinary differential equation for describing a special dissolution rate model of rock salt under the assumption of an instantaneous diffusion process was established to investigate the dissolution mechanism of rock salt under transient but stable conditions. The ordinary differential equation was then solved mathematically to give an analytical solution and related expressions for the dissolved radius and solution concentration. Thereafter, the analytical solution was fitted with transient dissolution test data of rock salt to provide the dissolution parameters at different flow rates, and the physical meaning of the analytical formula was also discussed. Finally, the influential factors of the analytical formula were investigated. There was approximately a linear relationship between the dissolution parameters and the flow rate. The effects of the dissolution area and initial volume of the solution on the dissolution rate equation of rock salt were computationally investigated. The results showed that the present analytical solution gives a good description of the dissolution mechanism of rock salt under some special conditions, which may provide a primary theoretical basis and an analytical way to investigate the dissolution characteristics of rock salt
Skyrmions in magnetic multilayers
Symmetry breaking together with strong spin-orbit interaction give rise to
many exciting phenomena within condensed matter physics. A recent example is
the existence of chiral spin textures, which are observed in magnetic systems
lacking inversion symmetry. These chiral spin textures, including domain walls
and magnetic skyrmions, are both fundamentally interesting and technologically
promising. For example, they can be driven very efficiently by electrical
currents, and exhibit many new physical properties determined by their
real-space topological characteristics. Depending on the details of the
competing interactions, these spin textures exist in different parameter
spaces. However, the governing mechanism underlying their physical behaviors
remain essentially the same. In this review article, the fundamental
topological physics underlying these chiral spin textures, the key factors for
materials optimization, and current developments and future challenges will be
discussed. In the end, a few promising directions that will advance the
development of skyrmion based spintronics will be highlighted.Comment: This manuscript is now accepted for publication in the Physics
