The influence of anharmonic vibration on these thermal physical properties is also investigated. Some theoretical results are given. If only the harmonic approximation is considered, the Debye temperature of the graphene is unrelated to the temperature. If the anharmonic terms are considered, it increases slowly with the increasing temperature. The molar heat capacity of the graphene increases nonlinearly with the increasing temperature. The mean free path of phonons and the thermal conductivity of the graphene decrease nonlinearly with the increasing temperature. The relative changes of the Debye temperature, the specific heat capacity and the thermal conductivity caused by the anharmonic terms increase with the increasing temperature. The anharmonic effect of atomic vibration becomes more significant under higher temperature.展开更多
The effect of seven constant temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 27, 30, 35 and 37℃ on developmental time ofNeoseiulus barkeri Hughes were determined in laboratory conditions under 65% - 5% RH and a photoperiod of 12 ： 12 ...The effect of seven constant temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 27, 30, 35 and 37℃ on developmental time ofNeoseiulus barkeri Hughes were determined in laboratory conditions under 65% - 5% RH and a photoperiod of 12 ： 12 （L ： D） h on nymphal stages of Tetranychus urticae Koch. Total developmental time of females （from egg to adult emergence） at the above-mentioned temperatures was 26.59, 14.43, 6.32, 5.64, 4.59, 3.98 and 4.67 days, respectively. Developmental rate of the N. barkeri increased as temperature increased from 15 to 35℃, but declined at 37℃. A linear and two nonlinear models were fitted to developmental rate of immature stages ofN. barkeri to predict the developmental rate as a function of temperature, as well as to estimate the thermal constant （K） and critical temperatures （i.e., Tmin, Topt and Tmax）. The estimated values of the Tmin and K for total developmental time using the linear model were 12.07℃ and 86.20 degree-days （DD）, respectively. The Trnin and Tmax estimated by the Sharpe-Schoolfield-Ikemoto （SSI） model were 11.90℃ and 37.41℃, respectively. The estimated Topt for overall immature stage development ofN. barkeri by the Lactin and SSI models were 33.89℃ and 24.51℃, respectively. Based on the biological criteria of model evaluation, the linear and SSI models were found to be the best models for describing the developmental rate of overall immature stages of N. barkeri and estimating the temperature thresholds.展开更多

The governing equations are formulated and found to be nonlinear because of the temperature-dependence of properties. Owing to the nonlinearity of the governing equations, the finite element method is resorted to for solution. The results obtained show that the temperature-dependent properties influence the variables considered by reducing their magnitudes. This indicates that taking the temperature-dependence of properties into consideration in the investigation of generalized thermoelastic problems is necessary and practical for accurately predicting the thermoelastic behavior.展开更多

New techniques for preparing LSMO thermal control coating and B4C radiation-protection coating were developed. The sample piece of multi-functional structure was manufactured by using the proposed materials, and a series of performance tests, such as thermal control and radiation-protection behaviors were evaluated. Test results show that： the emissivity of the multi-functional structure varies from 0.42 to 0.86 at 240 K to 353 K and the phase transition temperature is about 260 K. The electron radiation-protection ability of the multi-functional structure is 3.3 times better than that of Al material. The performance index of this multi-functional structure can meet the requirements for space application in on-board electronic equipment.展开更多

Here, we investigated the temperature dependent Raman and photoluminescence （PL） spectra in vertical stacked WS2/MoS2 monolayer heterostructures. Our result shows that both E^g and Alg modes of WS2 and MoS2 vary linearly with tem- perature increasing from 300 to 642 K. The PL measurement also reveals strong temperature dependencies of the PL intensity and peak position. The activation energy of the thermal quenching of the PL emission has been found to be equal to 69.6 meV. The temperature dependence of the peak energy well follows the band- gap shrinkage of bulk semiconductor.展开更多

We consider the temporal evolution of an infinitesimal perturbation superimposed to a static （motionless） and con- ductive state in a basally-heated planar layer. From the changes in flow patterns with increasing the amplitudes of temperature dependence of viscosity, we identified the transition into the ＂stagnant-lid＂ （ST） regime, where the convection occurs only beneath a thick and stagnant-lid of cold fluid at the top surface. Detailed analysis showed a significant increase of the aspect ratio of convection cells in ST regime induced by the spatial variations in thermal conductivity and/or expansivity： the horizon- tal length scale of ST convection can be enlarged by up to 50% with 10 times increase of thermal conductivity with depth. We further developed an analytical model of ST convection which success- fully reproduced the mechanism of increasing horizontal length scale of ST regime convection cells for given spatial variations in physical properties. Our findings may highlight the essential roles of the spatial variation of thermal conductivity on the convection patterns in the mantle.展开更多

These large projects are mainly located on the great rivers in West China with complicated topographical and geological conditions. Evaluation of stability and safety of these high dam projects is an important topic. Geomechanical model test is one of the main methods to study the global stability of high dam and foundation. In this paper, a comprehensive testing method that combines overloading and strength reduction in a model is proposed. In this method, both the influence of excessive flooding and the effects of strength reduction of rock masses and weak structural planes on dam stability are considered. Thus, the comprehensive testing method can accurately incorporate multiple factors that affect the global stability of high dam and its foundation. Based on the failure testing principle and model similarity theory, a similarity relation formula for safety evaluation through comprehensive test is established. A new model material, temperature-dependent analogous material, is also developed. By rising the temperature and reducing the strength of the mod,~l material, the mechanical behaviors resulting from gradual strength reduction can be simulated. Thus, the comprehensive testing method is realized in a single model. For case studies, the comprehensive geomechanical model test is conducted for Jinpinlg I and Xiaowan high arch dam projects.展开更多

It is extremely important to clarify the sex structure of Chinese alligators to implement recovery projects successfully. However, the sex ratio of wild Chinese alligators remains unknown. In this study, we collected 28 years of sex ratio data from Chinese alligators residing in the natural and artificial habitats of Changxing Nature Reserve, China, and examined the differences in the sex ratio dynamics between these two populations. We observed that the sex ratio of wild Chinese alligators is 1 male to 4.507 females, which was significantly lower compared to that of the captive population （1 to 2.040; P 〈 0.001）, and is significantly different to previously documented sex ratios for this species （all P 〈 0.01）. Furthermore, we documented an annually stable （P = 1.000） female-biased sex ratio for wild alligators at hatching [1 male to 4.747 females; 0.174 （0.167~）.182）], in contrast to a dramatically fluctuating sex ratio （P 〈 0.001） in captivity [1 male to 1.674 females; 0.374 （0.246-0.593）], showing a potential mechanism for adjusting the sex structure. Finally, we found that the hatchling sex ratios were similar to that of the population sex ratio （P = 0.748）, with little correlation to air temperature values in the 60-70 day incubation period during the breeding season （July and August; both P 〉 0.05）. Overall, this study indicates that the stabilized female-biased sex ratio of Changxing Chinese alligators might result from selection pressure caused by local mate competition and major inbreeding .展开更多

文摘Here,nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots(N-CQDs)were successfully synthesized by the solvothermal method using graphite as the carbon source and N,N-dimethylformamide as the nitrogen source.We characterized the structure and chemical constitution of N-CQDs using X-ray diffraction,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.We investigated the pump-and temperature-dependent photoluminescence(PL)properties and the dynamic exciton recombination processes of N-CQDs,using both steady-state and time-resolved PL techniques.The spectral results show that the PL emission peak located at 518 nm at room temperature,mainly originates from the n-π∗transition on the surface of N-CQDs.The pump fluence and PL integral intensity were analyzed to demonstrate the existence of single-photon excitation under the 405 nm laser excitation.As the temperature increases,the non-radiative transition gradually increases,which decreases the PL intensity,the full width at half maxima first narrows and then widens and the PL lifetime gradually decreases.Furthermore,we combined the N-CQDs with chip to prepare light-emitting diode(LED).The resulting chromaticity coordinate was obtained to be(0.29,0.40).This study offers a comprehensive understanding of the luminescence mechanism in N-doped CQDs and introduces a novel approach for the quickly fabrication of full-color display LEDs.

文摘Zero thermal expansion materials are important for the practical applications due to their shape stability as changing temperature.The reported concept of average atomic volume is an available method to hunt new zero thermal expansion materials.Here,according to this concept,a tetragonal tungstate Cs_(2)W_(3)O_(10)with zero expansion has been found.There is no structure phase transition as increasing temperature from 150 K to 573 K.The coefficient of thermal expansion of axes and volume areαa=0.0074×10^(-6)K^(-1),αc=1.63×10^(-6)K^(-1),andαV=1.60×10^(-6)K^(-1),respectively,in the temperature range of 150~573 K.The temperature-and pressure-dependent Raman spectra reveal that the vibrations of WO6octahedra libration modes with positive total anharmonicity and W-O-W bending mode with negative Grüneisen parameter are possibly the origin of zero thermal expansion in Cs_(2)W_(3)O_(10).
