Young’s Modulus Measurement of Metal Wires Using FBG Sensor
摘要： A novel Young’s modulus measurement scheme based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. In our method, a universal formula relating the Bragg wavelength shift to Young’s modulus is derived and metal wires are loaded strain by using the static stretching method. The Young’s modulus of copper wires, aluminum wires, nickel wires, and tungsten wires are separately measured. Experimental results show that the FBG sensor exhibits high measurement accuracy, and the measurement errors relative to the nominal value is less than 1.0%. The feasibility of the FBG test method is confirmed by comparing it with the traditional charge coupled device (CCD) imaging method. The proposed method could find the potential application in the material selection, especially in the field that the size of metal wires is very small and the strain gauges cannot be qualified.

GaxSe10-x based solar cells: Some alternatives for the improvement in their performance parameters
摘要： We report on strategies that improve Se-derivative based solar cells performance. With this aim, a compact thin film based on ZnO nanoparticles is deposited onto fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) as an electron-transport layer, in thermally evaporated GaxSe10-x based solar cells. ZnO nanoparticles films are synthesized by sol-gel process whereas GaxSe10-x material is obtained by mechanical alloying. Using current-voltage measurements, impedance spectroscopy, and capacitance-voltage profiling, device characteristics and performance limiting factors are revealed and discussed. Particularly, the use of ZnO nanoparticles results in improved device performance as well as long-term stability. In comparison to Se-only devices with the structure FTO/Se/Au (power conversion efficiency of 0.98%), under 100 mW/cm2 AM 1.5 G illumination the devices achieved a power conversion efficiency of 2.7% with the structure FTO/ZnO/GaSe9/Au (open circuit voltage of 0.71 V, short-circuit current of 7.9 mA/cm2). Hence, an increase of around 175% in the power conversion efficiency is obtained in comparison to Se-only devices. In addition, the effect of others parameters, like thickness of the active layer as well as the gallium contents in the alloy, are discussed.

Molecular dynamics simulation study on the structure and properties of polyimide/silica hybrid materials
摘要： A type of polyimide/silica (PI/SiO2) copolymer model was established through the dehydration of tetraethyl orthosilicate molecules (TEOS) and bonding to a silane coupling agent. The content of SiO2 was controlled by adjusting the number of molecules which bound to the TEOS. Finally, the silica was formed into a hybrid model (hybrid PI/SiO2) with a small molecule embedded in the PI. The model was optimized by geometric and molecular dynamics and the changes in the model structure, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and glass-transition temperature (Tg) were analyzed. The results showed that the density and cohesive energy density of the composites could be improved by doping SiO2 in PI. Young’s modulus and shear modulus of PI/SiO2 hybrid materials were higher than undoped PI. The tensile strength reached 568.15 MPa when the doping content was 9%. Therefore, the structure design and content control of SiO2 was an effective way to improve the performance of a PI/SiO2 composite. The variation of Tg and tensile strength of PI/SiO2 hybrid composites is consistent with that of PI/SiO2 composite synthesized in real experiment, which will be a convenient method for new material design and performance prediction. ? 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical studies on the mechanical and electronic properties of 2D and 3D structures of Beryllium-Oxide graphene and graphene nanobud
摘要： In the present study, ab initio-based density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to determine the effects of certain phenomena that can occur in the synthesis of Beryllium-Oxide (BeO) few-layer sheets, such as various types of defects, attaching nanocages onto the surface of graphene and attaching layers to each side of it on the mechanical and electronic properties of BeO graphene sheets. We also used the density of states (DOS) calculations to obtain a better understanding of the electronic properties of the studied nanostructures. In the first step, we calculated Young’s modulus for the pristine BeO graphene sheet that was found to be equal to 1.110 TPa. Next, the effect of small and large defects on the mechanical properties of the BeO graphene-like structure was examined, and we found that extracting one Be atom resulted in a lower Young’s modulus compared to that obtained after extracting one oxygen atom (1.087 TPa versus 1.104 TPa), demonstrating that Be had a greater effect on the stability and mechanical strength of BeO graphene than did oxygen. The same trend was found when comparing three atom vacancies with two missing Be atoms to those with two missing oxygen atoms. Furthermore, the effect of circular and rectangular shape defects was investigated, and the obtained results demonstrated that the increase in the diameter of defects with both shapes significantly decreased Young’s modulus and band gap energy values. Additionally, due to the number of detached atoms in shape defects which are more than those of small defects, this type of defect had a more destructive effect on the structure’s stability so that it decreased the Young’s modulus more than small defects. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the BeO graphene nanobud structure were determined in terms of placing different numbers of Be12O12 nanocages onto the graphene surface, and a similar decreasing trend was observed for Young’s modulus. Finally, we considered the mechanical properties of the bi- and three-layer BeO graphene-like structures and found that increasing the number of layers reduced Young’s modulus slightly. For both of the latter phenomena of attaching nanocages and layers, the band gap energy decreased.

Structural and dielectric properties of prepared PbS and PbTe nanomaterials
摘要： In this work, PbS and PbTe nanomaterials with various morphologies were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The structural properties were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and corresponding scanning electron microscopy together with their EDX analysis. Both the PbS and PbTe nanomaterials possess good polycrystalline structure. The crystallite size, determined from the XRD data, of PbS is 5 nm whereas the corresponding value of PbTe is 2.69 nm. SEM micrographs reveal that the prepared PbS nanomaterial has star-shaped structures, micro-flowers, some cubes, and semi-dendrites, whereas PbTe has semi-flower structures. Additionally, the dielectric properties have been studied in a broad frequency range from 0.1 Hz up to 1 MHz at temperatures from 298–423 K. The real and imaginary parts of the complex dielectric constant ε' and ε'' of PbTe are comparatively higher than those of PbS. Moreover, the dielectric data were analyzed on the basis of the electric modulus.

In Situ Quantification of the Young’s Modulus of Nuclei In Multiple Cellular States Using A Modified Fiber Probe Sensor
摘要： In this work, a modified fiber probe sensor (MFP sensor) with a considerable length-diameter ratio tip was developed to quantitatively characterize the Young’s modulus of the cell nucleus in multiple cellular states. The MFP sensor has a needle tip with an extended length of 30 μm and a diameter of 150 nm. The length of the tip exceeds the diameter of most cells, so that it can penetrate the cell membrane with minimal damage and reach the nucleus. This allows the measurement of the Young’s modulus of intact cell nuclei under different cellular states without the phenomenon that the cantilever contacts the cell membrane. Moreover, the stiffness of the MFP sensor is reduced by a factor of 25 to better match that of the cell membrane and nucleus, which enables high-precision mechanical measurements. The MFP sensor was successfully used to quantify the Young’s modulus of the intact cell nuclei in the non-adherent, adherent and early apoptotic states. Experimental results validated the capability and versatility of the developed method.

Thermodynamics and structural stability of tissues for bio-imaging analysis – The case of intracranial aneurysm rupture risk assessment
摘要： Based on thermodynamic principles, structure stability analysis like stress response and fracture formation is well established for inorganic but not for organic bio-materials. In this study, three equations were established to assess intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture risk based on patient's IA and internal carotid artery (ICA) angiography images, by incorporating tissue thermodynamics. Our objectives are: (1) establish foundations to help understand the physics behind the observed morphological changes prior to IA rupture, and (2) provide first-principles equations to aide in rupture risk assessment. Subsequently, we validated the new equations using available experimental and numerical simulation results, and revealed new IA rupture physics. In particular, our models correlated well with most of the available experiment and computer fluid dynamics simulation data. Among the three common structure failure modes, the axial stress and the bending moment loading are the control mechanism. The rupture risk reaches its peak when (1) the aneurysm inclination angle (ω) is close to 63.4°, (2) IA diameter / ICA diameter ?1, and (3) IA length / IA diameter ≈1.6. This study provides strong physical foundations and sound understanding to aid in rupture risk assessment. It presents insights on detailed thermodynamics that govern the previously observed IA rupture behaviors, reported from both experiments and numerical simulations. By integrating angiography images with first-principles tissue thermodynamics, we (1) advance the IA research, which is currently dominated by experimental and imaging-data-statistic approaches, and (2) introduce Calphad research into a new exciting research field - bio-imaging analysis.

Single-Layer Ag <sub/>2</sub> S: A Two-Dimensional Bidirectional Auxetic Semiconductor
摘要： Two-dimensional auxetic materials have attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications in medicine, tougher composites, defense and so on. However, they are scare especially at low dimension, as auxetic materials are mainly realized in engineered materials and structures. Here using first-principles calculations, we identify a compelling two-dimensional auxetic material, single-layer Ag2S, which possesses large negative Poisson’s ratios in both in-plane and out-of-plane directions, but anisotropic ultra-low Young’s modulus. Such a coexistence of simultaneous negative Poisson’s ratios in two directions is extremely rare, which is mainly originated from its particular zigzag-shaped buckling structure. In addition, contrary to the previously known metal-shrouded single-layer M2X (M = metal, X = nonmetal), single-layer Ag2S is the first nonmetal-shrouded M2X. Electronic calculations show that it is an indirect-gap semiconductor with gap value of 2.83 eV, and it can be turned to be direct with strain. These intriguing properties make single-layer Ag2S a promising auxetic material in electronics and mechanics.

Phase Transition in Two-dimensional Tellurene under Mechanical Strain Modulation
摘要： We carry out computational simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) to investigate different phases of two-dimensional (2-D) tellurene. These phases are classified by their characteristic space groups and symmetry elements. Correlations of these phases to the bulk crystalline tellurium structure are also illustrated. Our specific interests include mechanical property calculations for different phases and the possible phase transitions between them. Simulation results show that these 2-D Te phases have very different elastic moduli due to their different atomic bonding and relaxed structures. Moreover, compression along the in-plane directions facilitates the α → β phase transition, while in-plane tensile strains always make the α-phase more stable than the β-phase. However, the energy difference between the two phases is comparable to or even much smaller than the thermal energy kT, depending on the in-plane strain direction. We find that further increase of the tensile strain along the chain direction beyond a critical value, ca. 12%, may lead to a possible α → γ phase transition. As the tensile strain is above 15%, the γ-phase will be more stable than the α-phase, accompanied by a further reduced transition energy barrier.
