Nanovoid nucleation by vacancy aggregation and vacancy-cluster coarsening in high-purity metallic single crystals
A numerical model to estimate critical times required for nanovoid nucleation in high-purity aluminum single crystals subjected to shock loading is presented. We regard a nanovoid to be nucleated when it attains a size sufficient for subsequent growth by dislocation-mediated plasticity. Nucleation is assumed to proceed by means of diffusion-mediated vacancy aggregation and subsequent vacancy cluster coarsening. Nucleation times are computed by a combination of lattice kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and simple estimates of nanovoid cavitation pressures and vacancy concentrations. The domain of validity of the model is established by considering rate-limiting physical processes and theoretical strength limits. The computed nucleation times are compared to experiments suggesting that vacancy aggregation and cluster coarsening are feasible mechanisms of nanovoid nucleation in a specific subdomain of the pressure-strain rate-temperature space
Factors determining spawning success in Penaeus monodon Fabricius
Spawning success in relation to the size of spawner, clumping of eggs, percentage of spawning and frequency of spawning was studied in Penaeus monodon collected off Tamil Nadu, India. The results indicated positive correlation between the size of spawner and the fecundity and hatching percentage, but not the start of hatching. Hatching characteristics were influenced by clumping of eggs or abortive spawning; the greater the clumping, the longer the time taken for hatching, resulting in a lower hatching percentage. The start of hatching time increased when the frequency of spawning increased. Lower hatching rate was observed as the frequency of spawning increased
Non-adiabatic generation of a pure spin current in a 1D quantum ring with spin-orbit interaction
We demonstrate the theoretical possibility of obtaining a pure spin current
in a 1D ring with spin-orbit interaction by irradiation with a non-adiabatic,
two-component terahertz laser pulse, whose spatial asymmetry is reflected by an
internal dephasing angle . The stationary solutions of the equation of
motion for the density operator are obtained for a spin-orbit coupling linear
in the electron momentum (Rashba) and used to calculate the time-dependent
charge and spin currents. We find that there are critical values of at
which the charge current disappears, while the spin current reaches a maximum
or a minimum value.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

Saturation physics and angular correlations at RHIC and LHC
We investigate the angular correlation between pions and photons produced in
deuteron-gold collisions at RHIC and proton-lead collisions at LHC using the
Color Glass Condensate formalism and make predictions for the dependence of the
production cross section on the angle between the pion and photon at different
rapidities and transverse momenta. Measuring this dependence would shed further
light on the role of high gluon density and saturation dynamics at RHIC and
LHC.Comment: 2-column EPJ C format, requires svjour.cls and svepj.clo; 4 pages, 4
