C4F7N/CO2 gas mixture, as the main new environmentally friendly gas insulation medium, is now being widely used in the ring network switchgear and other gas electrical equipment. In this paper, a test platform was constructed to simulate partial discharge in a gas medium, the decomposition characteristics of the C4F7N/CO2 gas mixture during suspended potential discharge were studied under four different metal electrode materials: stainless steel, purple copper, tungsten copper, and aluminum alloy. The results show that the main decomposition products of the C4F7N/CO2 gas mixture during suspended discharge are CO, CF4, C4F8, C3F8, C3F6, CF3CN, and C2F4 gases, which are independent of the metal material. On the whole, when the metal electrode material is stainless steel, the highest amount of decomposition products are generated from the C4F7N/CO2 gas mixture; when the metal electrode material is aluminum alloy, the amount of decomposition products produced by C4F7N/CO2 gas mixture is the least, and the content difference of some decomposition products between these two metal materials is as high as 70%. The decomposition products of the C4F7N/CO2 gas mixture decreased gradually with the increase in the gas pressure. Finally, the influence mechanism of different metal materials on the decomposition process of the C4F7N/CO2 gas mixture was analyzed from the microscopic perspectives of charge transfer between gas molecules and molecular structural characteristics. In general, the research results can provide technical reference for the design, selection, and optimization of environmental protection gas insulation equipment.

The focus of this scope is on the single phase Cuk and SEPIC power factor correction converter that is attractive to electric bicycle applications. In order to guarantee improved performance, the proposed modified converter is designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode, which is hidden by changes in supply and load voltage. For rated load, the investigational study achieves reduced input line total harmonic distortion and unity power factor. Line regulation, high efficiency, and load regulation are achieved by means of a closed loop PI control circuit that has a voltage sensor and current loop. The power supply is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink under various operating conditions, and the designed system is validated using a 250 W hardware prototype. The input current is observed to be perfectly sinusoidal, and the IEC 61000-3-2 class A standard is followed in recording the total harmonic distortion of the mains current.

This study investigates leakage mechanisms in vertical GaN-on-GaN Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) and demonstrates effective mitigation strategies. The fabricated devices exhibit low reverse leakage current (1 × 10−5 A/cm2 at −200 V) and a high Ion/Ioff ratio (∼1010), surpassing the performance of GaN SBDs on foreign substrates. We elucidate dominant leakage mechanisms—thermionic emission, Poole–Frenkel emission, and variable-range hopping—and their evolution with temperature and bias. Optimized fabrication processes, including defect etching and a novel dual-layer passivation technique, achieve over a 1000-fold reduction in leakage current.

The as-cast specimens of Ti48Zr18V12Cu5Be17 amorphous composites were prepared by copper mold suction casting. Next, the as-cast specimens were treated using semi-solid isothermal treatment (SSIT) and recrystallization and partial remelting (RAP). The effects of SSIT and RAP on the microstructure and plasticity were analyzed. The results showed that the microstructure changed from fine crystals in the as-cast specimens to coarse bar crystals and near-spherical crystals in the SSIT and RAP specimens, respectively. The crystals of RAP specimens were finer and rounder than those of SSIT specimens due to recrystallization. In addition, the RAP specimens had high plasticity (20.93%), which is 428.5% and 45.2% higher than the as-cast and SSIT specimens, respectively. By observing the shear bands of the fractured specimens, it was found that the expansion of shear bands could not be impeded by the fine β-Ti crystals in the as-cast specimens, leading to an infinite extension that induces brittle fracture in the specimens. The essential cause of the poor plasticity of the as-cast specimens was revealed. In addition, the coarse β-Ti crystals effectively blocked the shear band expansion in the SSIT specimens, and a large number of shear bands were generated in these crystals. In contrast, the crystals of the RAP specimens had a greater number and density of shear bands compared to those of the SSIT specimens, and these shear bands intersected with each other in different directions. This revealed the mechanism by which the SSIT and RAP methods enhance the plasticity of amorphous composites.

The non-stationary Karpman–Washimi ponderomotive force and self-generated magnetic field in an unmagnetized system are investigated in the context of nonextensive distribution based on the kinetic theory. The ponderomotive force, magnetization, and radiation power are obtained as functions of the nonextensive parameter q, wave frequency, and wave number. It is shown that the presence of high-velocity electrons leads to an increase in temporal and spatial variation parts of ponderomotive force, magnetization, and radiation power. Furthermore, the results indicate that the self-generated magnetic field driven by the Karpman–Washimi ponderomotive force primarily manifests as small-scale and low-frequency magnetic field.

Inspired by the fabrication of the transition metal dichalcogenide nanoribbons with well-defined atomically precise edges, we study the stability, electronic structures, and magnetism of MTe2 (M = Cr, V, and Fe) monolayer nanoribbons. The calculations indicate that all three types of monolayers can form structurally stable zigzag (ZNR) and armchair (ANR) nanoribbons, which significantly alter the properties of the monolayer films, as shown in Table I. For the zigzag nanoribbons, CrTe2-ZNR transitions from a non-magnetic semiconductor to a ferrimagnetic metal. VTe2-ZNR transforms from a ferromagnetic semiconductor to a ferrimagnetic metal. FeTe2-ZNR mostly maintains the characteristics of the monolayer. For the armchair nanoribbons, CrTe2-ANR exhibits ferrimagnetism. The electrical conductivity is related to the width. CrTe2-ANR with narrow width is semiconducting, while wider ones are metallic. VTe2-ANR displays ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic metallic behavior depending on the width. FeTe2-ANR with widths larger than 11 remains ferromagnetic metal, while with narrow widths are unstable. In addition, the magnetism of all MTe2 monolayer nanoribbons primarily originates from the 3d transition metal atoms. These findings are essential for applications of MTe2 nanoribbons-based low-dimensional spintronic devices.

Density functional theory-based characterization of crystalline tungsten oxide has been well established. Nonetheless, there remains a partial gap in theoretical studies concerning the electrochemical characterization of amorphous tungsten oxide. The electronic structure and diffusion kinetics of amorphous tungsten oxide require a systematic theoretical study. Therefore, we employed second-generation Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations and the density functional theory with HSE06 exchange–correlation hybrid functional to investigate the electronic properties and lithium kinetics of amorphous tungsten oxide (α-WOx, x = 3, 2.5, 2) models. The precise electronic properties of these structures were computed using the HSE06 hybrid functions. The diffusion properties of lithium were determined in the range of 1 × 10−7 to 5 × 10−7 cm2/s by ab initio molecular dynamics. The computational findings provide a critical atomic-scale understanding and contribute to the development of tungsten oxide-based electrochromic devices for practical applications.

The magnetospheric plasma (hot and thin) and the solar wind plasma (cold and dense) are separated by the Earth’s magnetopause, in which plasmas of both origins coexist. Different types of plasma diffusions are found due to this plasma mixing, and kinetic Alfvén solitary waves (KASWs) are one of them. In this work, a theoretical approach is taken to study the fundamental properties of heavy ion acoustic KASWs (HIAKASWs) in a magnetized plasma system whose constituents are nonextensive q-distributed two temperature electrons with dynamical heavy ions. The perturbations of the magnetized collisionless plasma system are investigated using the reductive perturbation technique to deduce the Korteweg–de Vries (K–DV) and modified K–DV (MK–DV) equations to determine the fundamental characteristics of small, but finite amplitude HIAKASWs. The presence of nonextensive electrons, magnetic field, obliquity angle (the angle between the external magnetic field and wave propagation), plasma particle number densities, and the temperature of various plasma species are observed to significantly alter the fundamental properties of HIAKASWs. The findings of our present study may be useful for comprehending the nonlinear wave properties in diverse interstellar plasma environments.

Phototransients are investigated for CuSbS2 films with varying the illumination energy. The generation and recombination of photocarriers, which are manifested as changes in the sheet conductivity of the films, take place almost instantaneously for excitation wavelengths of 970 and 633 nm. These rapid responses are, in contrast, absent for the illumination at wavelengths of 375 and 280 nm. In particular, roughly no photoconduction occurs in the case of 280 nm. The sheet conductivity develops thereby random two-level fluctuations following the illumination. Ultraviolet irradiation is thus suggested to generate crystalline defects, giving rise to the quenching of the instantaneous photoresponse caused by their trapping of the photocarriers. The photoresponse in simultaneous illumination at multiple wavelengths is dependent upon the relative intensities of the ultraviolet and visible/infrared components in a nonlinear fashion unless the photo-generated defects are overwhelmed by photocarriers.

The photoresponse in simultaneous illumination at multiple wavelengths is dependent upon the relative intensities of the ultraviolet and visible/infrared components in a nonlinear fashion unless the photo-generated defects are overwhelmed by photocarriers.","PeriodicalId":7619,"journal":{"name":"AIP Advances","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
