Numerical and experimental study on keyhole and melt flow dynamics during laser welding of aluminium alloys under subatmospheric pressures
摘要： Porosity defects was highly related to the keyhole and melt flow dynamic during laser welding process. In this paper, a novel 3D numerical model was developed to describe the keyhole dynamic and melt flow behaviors during laser welding of 5A06 aluminium alloy under subatmospheric pressures. The effect of ambient pressure on laser welding process was taken into consideration by optimizing the boiling point of aluminium alloy and recoil pressure of evaporated metallic vapor jets based on vapor–liquid equilibria calculation and Wilson equation. A moving hybrid heat source model was employed to describe the laser energy distribution under subatmospheric pressures. Numerical results indicated that a wider and deeper keyhole with less humps was produced under subatmospheric pressure comparing with that of atmospheric pressure. The vortices in the rear keyhole wall became unapparent or even disappeared with the decrease of ambient pressures. The melt flow velocity on the keyhole wall was larger under a lower pressure. A smaller difference between boiling point and melting point was produced and this led to the formation of a thinner keyhole wall and improved the stability of molten pool. Larger recoil pressure produced under subatmospheric pressure was responsible for the weakened vortices and enhanced melt flow velocity. Bigger keyhole opening size, larger melt flow velocity, thinner keyhole and the weakened vortices all resulted into the reduction of porosity defects during laser welding of aluminium alloys. Based on the simulation results, the plasma distribution, weld formation and porosity defects had been demonstrated. The compared results showed that the simulation results exhibited good agreements with the experimental ones.

Mechanism study on the effects of power modulation on energy coupling efficiency in infrared laser welding of highly-reflective materials
摘要： High-reflectivity of materials, such as magnesium, copper and aluminum, results in low thermal efficiency of their infrared laser welding processes. AZ31 magnesium alloy was selected to study the effects of power modulation on energy coupling efficiency in laser welding of highly-reflective materials. A model for the relationship between energy coupling efficiency and modulation parameters was obtained. The energy coupling efficiency in optimized modulated-power laser welding was about 1.58 times that in constant-power welding. The mechanism was explored by analyzing keyhole evolution and the resulted pressure distribution along keyhole wall during welding. The keyhole evolutions in laser continuous welding of common material (Q345 steel, reflectivity of 65%) and highly-reflective material (AZ31, reflectivity of 85%) were observed through high-speed imaging by utilizing a half sandwich method. The results indicated that the secret of improving energy coupling efficiency of laser welding process of highly-reflective materials through power modulation was the formation of a deep keyhole and its long life. When instantaneous power decreased from the peak, there was still enough recoil pressure at the bottom of keyhole to resist surface tension and hydrostatic pressure of liquid metal, which was the fundamental reason for the long time existence of keyhole with a large depth.

High Sensitivity Polarimetric Optical Fiber Pressure Sensor Based on Tapered Polarization-Maintaining and Fiber Bragg Grating
摘要： In this paper, we propose a high sensitivity polarimetric optical fiber pressure sensor (OFPS) using a polarization-diversity loop composed of a polarization beam splitter, polarization controllers, and a sensor head. The sensor head consists of 8-cm-long tapered panda-type polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) directly spliced with PMF, and the sensor head is located inside a pressure chamber. A pressure-induced birefringence change due to the photoelastic effect can be greatly enhanced at the tapered section of PMF, thereby increasing the pressure sensitivity of the sensor head. The tapered PMF was fabricated using a fusion splicer, and the tapered length and center waist diameter of the tapered PMF segment were ～350 and ～56.82 μm, respectively. At the polarization-diversity loop, PMF is used as a birefringent element to create an interference spectrum due to polarization interference. A pressure-induced birefringence change of PMF results in a wavelength shift of the interference spectrum. Because the PMF birefringence also has a cross sensitivity to temperature, the FBG is utilized for the compensation of the temperature effect on it. The resonance wavelength of the FBG is sensitive to ambient temperature changes but insensitive to changes in pressure. This spectral response of the FBG can be used to compensate additional ambient temperature changes occurred at the sensor head. The pressure sensitivity of our sensor was measured as approximately ?27.70 nm/MPa, and an adjusted R2 value representing the sensor linearity was measured as ～0.9903 in a measurement range of 0–0.5 MPa. Our fabricated sensor exhibits the highest pressure sensitivity among previously reported polarimetric OFPS.

Cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers with Vernier effect for gas pressure sensing
摘要： We propose a compact ultrasensitive gas pressure fiber sensor based on cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI) with Vernier effect. Each MZI is composed of a hollow core fiber (HCF) sandwiched in between two short multimode fibers (MMF). The lengths of the HCFs in the two MZIs are set a little different in order to generate an envelope in the transmission spectrum of the cascaded structure for Vernier effect sensing. The HCF in one MZI is opened to make the air hole connect to the external environment and act as sensing element. The HCF in the other MZI is kept closed serving as reference element. The two MZIs have quite different responses to changes in gas pressure, but have almost the same response to temperature variation. Therefore, the Vernier effect occurs when the gas pressure changes, but not when the temperature varies. As a result, the proposed structure has an ultra-high gas pressure sensitivity with a quite low temperature cross-sensitivity. Experimental results show that the gas pressure sensitivity referring to the envelope of the proposed sensor is -73.32 nm/MPa in the range of 0 - 0.8 MPa, with a temperature cross-sensitivity of only 0.72 kPa/°C.

Pressure measurement in combusting and non-combusting gases using laser-induced grating spectroscopy
摘要： The measurement of pressure using laser-induced thermal grating spectroscopy, LITGS, with improved accuracy and precision is reported. Pressure values are derived from the record of the time-profile of LITGS signals by fitting of modelled signals to experimental data. The procedure is described for accurate modelling of the LIGS signals involving a sequence of calculation steps with appropriate weighting and calibration to determine the best-fit value of pressure-dependent parameters for averaged and single-shot measurements. Results are reported showing application of this model-fitting method to measurements of pressure in static cells using LITGS generated from NO in mixtures containing N2 at pressures in the range 0.5–5.0 bar with accuracy of 1–3% and single-shot precision of 4–7%. Time-resolved measurements of pressure, using LITGS signals generated in toluene-seeded fuel vapour, during the compression and expansion strokes of a motored optically accessible engine are reported with pressure-dependent accuracy ranging from better than 10 to around 20% over the cycle and single-shot precision in the range 5–15% over the same range. Measurements in the engine under firing conditions were obtained over a limited range and slightly increased uncertainties associated with varying composition resulting from exhaust gas residuals. The method was found to be of limited utility for measurements in high temperature flames at around ambient pressures.

Homogeneous Anodic TiO <sub/>2</sub> Nanotube Layers on Ti–6Al–4V Alloy with Improved Adhesion Strength and Corrosion Resistance
摘要： Hexagonal TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) arrays are generally fabricated on Ti-based substrates for some biomedical purposes, but the TNT layers constructed on conventionally processed Ti alloys are usually inhomogeneous because the substrates typically contain both the α and β phases. In this work, high-pressure torsion (HPT) is applied to obtain a saturated single α-phase microstructure in Ti–6Al–4V alloys via strain-induced β phase dissolution. Homogeneous anodic TNT layers with three different morphologies, one-step nanoporous, one-step nanotubular, and two-step nanoporous structures, are electrochemically fabricated on the ultrafine-grained (UFG) Ti–6Al–4V alloy substrates after HPT processing, whereas the TNT layers prepared on coarse-grained substrates are normally inhomogeneous. More notably, the TNT layers show significantly improved adhesion strength to the UFG substrate as well as better corrosion resistance compared to those on the conventionally processed Ti–6Al–4V substrates. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy in combination with electron backscatter diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy indicate that the improvement is due to a larger dislocation density in the UFG substrate as well as strain-induced β phase dissolution.

Correction: Boosted visible light photodegradation activity of boron doped rGO/g-C <sub/>3</sub> N <sub/>4</sub> nanocomposites: the role of C–O–C bonds
摘要： A series of two-component co-crystals driven by I···N interactions based on the bipyridine (BIPY) chromophore with one among three different co-former building blocks, iodopentafluorobenzene (IPFB), 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (DITFB) and 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene (IFB), were prepared and analysed via infrared spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. By comparing the I···N distances in the co-crystal structures, we found that the higher the –F ratio in the building blocks the closer the contact of the I···N bond, enhancing the intermolecular interactions in these co-crystals as well. That is, the positive electrostatic potential on the iodine atom(s) in the co-formers was enhanced by the presence of strong electron-withdrawing groups. The distinct spectroscopic behaviours (fluorescence and Raman spectra) among the two-component BIPY co-crystal systems in response to hydrostatic pressure were also investigated. Interestingly, the fluorescence of BIPY–DITFB presented intriguing abnormal evolution from dark to bright, suggesting a new charge transfer state due to the decreased intermolecular distance and the enhanced I···N interactions. Theoretical simulations by Materials Studio also showed the shortened I···N distance and the increased angle of C–I···N, evidencing the enhanced I···N interactions. In contrast, BIPY–IFB showed only slightly enhanced fluorescence intensity at 550 nm consistent with BIPY–DITFB. Once the pressure was relieved, both the Raman and fluorescence spectra for BIPY co-crystal systems entirely self-recovered. Remarkable emission enhancement in a solid-state co-crystal has been rarely reported in previous publications and in fact, this study paves a unique way for designing and developing novel stimuli-responsive photo-functional materials.

Nano-Heteroepitaxy: An Investigation of SiGe Nano-Pillars Coalescence
摘要： In this paper, SiGe nano-pillars coalescence was investigated using industrial Reduced Pressure-Chemical Vapour Deposition integration scheme based on diblock copolymer patterning provided nanometer size templates for the selective epitaxy of SiGe 25% nano-pillars. In order to study merging, thicknesses ranging from 20 to 35 nm were grown and samples characterized by AFM, XRD, SSRM and TEM. The evolution in terms of grains shape, size and number was examined, with individual pillars merging into larger grains above 30 nm thickness. High degrees of macroscopic strain relaxation were obtained at the different stages of nano-pillars merging. Defects such as stacking faults and twins were identified as occurring at the early stages of nano-pillar coalescence.

Equation of state and structural characterization of Cu <sub/>4</sub> I <sub/>4</sub> {PPh <sub/>2</sub> (CH <sub/>2</sub> CH?=?CH <sub/>2</sub> )} <sub/>4</sub> under pressure
摘要： Combined high pressure single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments and ab initio simulations based on the density functional theory have been performed on a copper(I) iodide cluster formulated [Cu4I4{PPh2(CH2CH = CH2)}4] under high pressure up to 5 GPa. An exhaustive study of compressibility has been done by means of determination of isothermal equations of state and structural changes with pressure at 298 K taking advantage of the single crystal is more precise than powder X-ray diffraction for this type of experiments. It allows us to report the evidence of the existence of an isostructural phase transition of second order at 2.3 GPa not detected so far.

The Structure of Phase-Change Chalcogenides and Their High-Pressure Behavior
摘要： Phase-change materials (PCMs) used in data storage devices have unique structural features and transition properties by thermal heating. Pressure, as another important thermodynamic tool, can also induce a series of interesting phase transitions in PCMs, accompanied by the altering of bonding nature and physical properties. Here, the structure transition as well as property change of prototypical phase-change material Ge–Sb–Te (GST) under hydrostatic pressure has been reviewed. The high-pressure behavior of some other relevant chalcogenides such as GeTe, Sb2Te3, and GeSe, is also discussed. The revealing of structure and property changes due to high pressure sheds light on the underlying physics of many fascinating properties of PCMs, and therefore it will have profound implications on various applications of phase change materials in memory and other fields.
