Multi-neutron transfer coupling in sub-barrier 32S+90,96Zr fusion reactions

The role of neutron transfers is investigated in the fusion process below the Coulomb barrier by analyzing 32S+90Zr and 32S+96Zr as benchmark reactions. A full coupled-channel calculation of the fusion excitation functions has been performed for both systems by using multi-neutron transfer coupling for the more neutron-rich reaction. The enhancement of fusion cross sections for 32S+96Zr is well reproduced at sub-barrier energies by NTFus code calculations including the coupling of the neutron-transfer channels following the Zagrebaev semiclassical model. We found similar effects for 40Ca+90Zr and 40Ca+96Zr fusion excitation functions.Comment: Minor corrections, 11 pages, 4 figures, Fusion11 Conference, Saint Malo, France, 2-6 mai 201

Transition from negative magnetoresistance behavior to positive behavior in Co\u3csub\u3e20\u3c/sub\u3e (Cu\u3csub\u3e1-x\u3c/sub\u3eGe\u3csub\u3ex\u3c/sub\u3e)\u3csub\u3e80\u3c/sub\u3e ribbons

We report a transition of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) behavior in nanocrystalline Co20 (Cu1-xGex)80 ribbons from negative to positive, as the semiconductor Ge substitutes for the Cu matrix. The growth of the hexagonal Co3Ge2 compound leads to a change of the physical origin of the GMR. The normal spin-dependent transport behavior in the CoCu granular system evolves into Coulomb blockade behavior of electronic tunneling in ribbons with a Co/Co3Ge2/Co junctionlike configuration

Structure and magnetic properties of sputtered (Nd,Dy)(Fe,Co,Nb,B) \u3csub\u3e5.5\u3c/sub\u3e/M (M = FeCo,Co) multilayer magnets

The magnetic properties of nanocomposite multilayer magnets of the (Nd,Dy)(Fe,Co,Nb,B) 5.5/M (M = Co,FeCo) on Ti-buffered Si substrates have been investigated. X-ray diffraction results reveal that the Nd2Fe14B-type phase in almost all the films is randomly oriented. Different thickness x (nm) for Co layers and y (nm) for FeCo layers were adopted in the multilayers. It is found that high remanence is achieved in the nanocomposite multilayer films consisting of the Nd2Fe14B-type phase and soft magnetic phase for Co with 6≥x≥4 and for FeCo with 10≥y≥6. The enhancement of the remanence in the nanocomposite multilayer films is attributed to the exchange coupling between the magnetically soft and hard phases. Increasing the soft magnetic components results in a continuously decreasing coercivity

Flexural Fracture Toughness and First-Crack Strength Tests of Steel Fiber-Silica Fume Concrete and Its Engineering Applications

The effect of a steel fiber and silica fume on the first-crack strength and the flexural toughness of concrete is evaluated. The ten sets of specimens with a steel fiber content of 0, 40, 50, and 60 g/m³ and steel fiber types of wave shear and straight shear types with and without a silica fume content of a 10% replacement of the cement weight were tested. The results show that the combined effect of silica fume and steel fiber improve the first-crack load and deflection of specimens to a certain degree and increase the flexural fracture toughness of specimens greatly. In the strengthening effect of steel fiber silica fume concrete, the steel fiber is of first importance, while silica fume is an auxiliary component. The wet steel fiber-silica fume shotcrete support for controlling the surrounding rock mass can provide the whole supporting effect of the anchor mesh shotcrete.Выполнена оценка влияния стального волокна и кремнеземной пыли на прочность бетона при появлении первой трещины и вязкость разрушения при изгибе. Выполнены испытания 10 серий образцов с содержанием стального волокна 0, 40, 50, 60 г/м³, использовано стальное волокно различных типов без содержания кремнеземной пыли и с ее содержанием на уровне 10% замещения веса цемента. Показано, что совместное использование кремнеземной пыли и стального волокна повышает допустимую нагрузку образования первой трещины и прогиба образцов, а также вязкость разрушения при изгибе. Установлено, что упрочнение сталефибробетона с добавками кремнеземной пыли определяется содержанием стального волокна, а кремнеземная пыль является вспомогательным компонентом. Опора из смеси сталефиброторкретбетона с содержанием кремнеземной пыли, обеспечивающая контроль окружающего скального массива, усиливает общий несущий эффект анкерной структуры
