The numerical analysis shows that the coupling constants of hyperons have a slight influence on the phase transitions and EOS, but an obvious influence on the particle fractions, while the bag constant B and coupling constant g have an important influence on the phase transitions, the EOS, and the mass-radius relations. We find that both the bag constant B and coupling constant g play the same role in the description of the interactions between quarks of hybrid stars. The maximum mass calculated by using the bag constant determined with experimental data (ranging from 175 to 200 MeV) falls in the interval of 1.4 ~1.7 solar mass. The corresponding radius is between 9.3 and 12 km. These results are in agreement with observed values of neutron stars. The possibility of the existence of a third family is discussed. The detection of a third family may provide a signature for a phase transition inside neutron stars.展开更多

The Redlich-Kwong EOS is in better agreement with experimental data on coexistence curves at the critical point than the van der Waals EOS. We implement the Redlich-Kwong EOS in the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) simulations via a pseudo-potential approach. We propose a new force, which can obtain computational stationary and reach larger density ratio. As a result, multi-phase flows with large density ratio (up to 1012 in the stationary case) can be simulated. We perform four numerical simulations, which are respectively related to single liquid droplet, vapor-liquid separation, surface tension and liquid coalescence of two droplets.展开更多

The relativistic mean field theory with several parameter sets is used to construct the nuclear equation of state, while the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is used for the description of the deconfined quark phase. Our results show that a harder nuclear equation of state leads to an earlier onset of a mixed phase of hadronic and quark matter. We find that a massive neutron star possesses a mixed phase core, but it is not dense enough to possess a pure quark core.展开更多

Ilmenite-type MnTiO3 is stable at least to 26.6 GPa, and lithium niobate type MnTiO3 reversibly transforms at room temperature to perovskite at 2.0 GPa. Bulk moduli (K300) of ilmenite, lithium niobate and perovskite are 174(4) GPa, 179 (8) GPa, and 208(5) GPa, respectively (at fixed first pressure derivative K' = 4). The Griineisen parameter T has been estimated to be 1.28 for ilmenite and 1.75 for perovskite. In ilmenite phase, TiO6 octahedra become more regular with increasing pressure. In perovskite phase structural distortion increases with pressure increase.展开更多

The angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments are carried out using a high energy synchrotron x-ray source. The bulk moduli of high pressure phases of cerium are calculated using the Birch-Mumaghan equation. We discuss and correct several previous controversial conclusions, which are caused by the measurement accuracy or personal explanation. The c/a axial ratio of e-Ce has a maximum value at about 29 GPa, i.e., c/a ≈ 1.690.展开更多

The centrality, pseudorapidity, transverse momentum and beam energy dependence of v2 for charged as well as identified hadrons are studied. We investigate the effects of both the hadronic mean-field and the softening of equation of state(EoS) on elliptic flow. The softening of the EoS is realized by imposing attractive orbits in two body scattering, which can reduce the pressure of the system. We found that the softening of the EoS leads to the enhancement of v2, while the hadronic mean-field suppresses v2 relative to the cascade mode. It indicates that elliptic flow at high baryon density regions is highly sensitive to the EoS and the enhancement of v2 may probe the signature of a first-order phase transition in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies of a strong baryon stopping region.展开更多

文摘根据Grüneisen物态方程、Hugoniot内能守恒方程和最新发表的铁的热物理参数,计算了ε-(hcp)铁和液态铁的理论Hugoniot曲线。计算的Hugoniot曲线与最新修正的铁的实验数据[J Appl Phys,2000,88:5496]在总体上符合很好,并且可以细分为两个部分:在约低于200GPa的压强区,用ε-铁模型的计算结果与实验结果符合很好;在约高于260GPa的压强区,用液态铁模型的计算结果与实验数据也符合得比较好;对介于200-260GPa之间的压强区,则归属于由ε-铁向液态铁转变的混合相区。这意味着铁的Hugoniot曲线在约200GPa处出现的微小偏折是由固一液相变引起的,从而否定了Brown[Geophy Res Lett,2001,28:4339]提出的它是一次由ε-铁向另一个未知结构的某个固相铁的相转变的见解。
