被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)In this study, pulsed neutron Bragg-edge transmission imaging was employed to characterize plastic deformation of high-manganese austenitic steel during cryogenic impact fracture. Electron backscatter diffraction was used to examine the microstructural evolution. The results reveal that the Bragg-edge width was identified as the critical value for large plastic deformation. Both crack initiation and stable crack growth regions exhibited higher levels of plastic deformation, twin density, and dislocation density compared to unstable crack growth regions. As the test temperature decreased from 273 K to 77 K, the transition point from stable to unstable crack growth occurred earlier. This is responsible for the reduction in impact absorbed energy. These findings provide new insights into the cryogenic toughening mechanism of high-manganese steel.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)The cryogenic fracture mechanism of high-Mn austenitic steels was investigated using a quasi-in situ experiment of interrupted Charpy impact test, together with electron backscatter diffraction and neutron Bragg-edge transmission imaging. The results show that voids coalesce through void sheeting at 77 K, a fracture mechanism associated with superior cryogenic toughness. The widely and ring-like distributed deformation twins ahead of the crack tip contribute limitedly to alleviating strain localization at 77 K. However, by suppressing the increase in stress triaxiality, deformation twins play a key role in promoting void sheeting and preventing the transition to quasi-cleavage fracture. This work lays the foundation for subsequent investigations into cryogenic toughening.

SR) measurements, along with various first-principles calculations. Electrical transport measurements and density functional theory confirm a narrow band gap (
0.707~eV, experimentally;
0.680~eV, theoretically).
SR measurements reveal that static magnetism dominates down to 2~K, with an ordered volume fraction of
89% at this temperature. Two distinct transitions are identified: one around the N
el temperature [
~K] and another corresponding to a phase transition near 30~K, as consistently indicated by our complementary experimental techniques. The absence of dynamic critical behaviors and the lack of a
-type specific heat anomaly are consistent with a first-order-like transition at
. Based on various complementary experimental results and theoretical calculations, we propose a hypothesis that the
30~K broad feature arises from the complex interplay between crystal structure distortion and magnetic coupling, which is potentially directly linked to ferrotoroidicity. As the first study integrating
SR with complementary experiments and first-principles calculations to explore ferrotoroidicity, this work provides key insights into the underlying physics of Ba

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences)We report two gamma-ray glows observed on December 22, 2023, during a winter thunderstorm in Japan, using an array of four radiation detectors. The first glow, detected by one sensor, was quenched by a lightning discharge. The second glow appeared 2-3 minutes later and was tracked by three other detectors. Radar observations suggest both glows originated from the same thundercloud cell. However, the detection timing of the second glow was inconsistent with simple thundercloud movement, indicating temporal variations in intrinsic glow brightness. A three-dimensional lightning mapping observation suggests that a discharge activity depleted the electric field that generated the first glow, and that the electric field having produced the second glow has been rapidly recovered. In addition, the radar observations also detected a descent of the thundercloud core between the two glows, which may have developed an electrified region and the second glow enough to be observed by the detectors. Tracking gamma-ray glows is crucial for understanding electrified regions in thunderclouds and associated gamma-ray glows.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We propose an extension of the QCD sum rules, termed the resonance sum rules, to access resonance poles in the complex energy plane. By strategically introducing a contour in the complex plane and conformal mapping, the method intends to reach resonance poles on the second Riemann sheet. To validate this approach, we apply resonance sum rules to the square-well potential model, for which the pole locations are known. The analysis demonstrates a successful extraction of the pole positions and residues for both the S-wave and P-wave resonances. The results are in good agreement with the analytic solutions, with discrepancies within 5% for the pole positions and 20% for the residues. This framework provides a basis for future applications to realistic hadronic resonances, promising new insights into spectral properties of QCD.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:70.80(Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications)In this study, we develop a novel sharp surface tension (SST) model for multiphase particle methods. Our approach integrates surface tension directly into pressure computation, enabling precise representation of pressure discontinuities across interfaces and effectively mitigating parasitic currents. In addition, to improve curvature accuracy, particularly in scenarios involving topological changes, a co-directional scheme is proposed to faithfully consider interfacial normal vectors. Furthermore, we reconstruct the interfacial particle shifting scheme to separately address tangential, normal, and repulsive components, effectively suppressing the common problem of interface particle mixing in multiphase particle methods. The effectiveness and reliability are rigorously validated through a series of numerical tests, including the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, curvature verification, droplet deformation and coalescence, as well as bubble rising and coalescence. The results demonstrate the superior accuracy and robustness of the proposed method, marking a significant advancement in simulations of multiphase flow with surface tension.

These parameters are influenced by temperature, transformation-induced internal stresses, alloying element partitioning, crystal defects, and magnetic strains. Disentangling these contributions is essential for understanding lattice behavior. This review explores internal strain (stress) associated with ferrite, pearlite, bainite, martensite, and reverse austenite transformations, emphasizing the distinction between diffusional and displacive mechanisms. It also examines how plastic deformation of austenite affects subsequent bainite or martensite formation. The roles of dislocations and vacancies are identified as critical areas for further research.

With the rapid technological development of large spallation neutron source facilities, the neutron beam flux obtained has been greatly improved and neutron imaging techniques have been further developed. Due to the limitation of neutron beam flux, conventional neutron imaging techniques require neutron beams with a wide wavelength range to obtain relatively high neutron beam flux conditions. Recently, spallation neutron sources using large proton accelerators have made it possible to obtain high-flux pulsed neutron beams. Energy (wavelength) resolved neutron imaging technique based on the Bragg edge effect (neutron Bragg edge transmission imaging technique) is expected to have a wide range of applications because of its high energy resolution, high spatial resolution, and ability to detect crystallographic information. The basic principle of this technique is briefly introduced. Several applications in the evaluation of residual strain, phase composition, dislocation density, and oriented structure are also reviewed to play an active role in promoting the wider applications of related technique.

被引用回数:28 パーセンタイル:95.72(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Nanoprecipitates and nanoscale retained austenite (RA) with suitable stability play crucial roles in determining the yield strength (YS) and ductility of ultrahigh strength steels (UHSSs). However, owing to the kinetics incompatibility between nanoprecipitation and austenite reversion, it is highly challenging to simultaneously introduce high-density nanoprecipitates and optimized RA in UHSSs. In this work, through the combination of austenite reversion treatment (ART) and subsequent flash austenitizing (FA), nanoscale chemical heterogeneity was successfully introduced into a low-cost UHSS prior to the aging process. This chemical heterogeneity involved the enrichment of Mn and Ni in the austenite phase. The resulting UHSS exhibited dual-nanoprecipitation of Ni(Al,Mn) and (Mo,Cr)
C and nanoscale austenite stabilized via Mn and Ni enrichment. The hard martensitic matrix strengthened by high-density dual-nanoprecipitates constrains the plastic deformation of soft RA with a relatively low fraction, and the presence of relatively stable nanoscale RA with adequate Mn and Ni enrichment leads to a marginal loss in YS but keeps a persistent transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect. As a result, the newly-developed UHSS exhibits an ultrahigh YS of 1.7 GPa, an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 1.8 GPa, a large uniform elongation (UE) of 8.5 percent, and a total elongation (TE) of 13 percent. The strategy of presetting chemical heterogeneity to introduce proper metastable phases before aging can be extended to other UHSSs and precipitation-hardened alloys.

Recently, itis predicted that in the nonrelativistic limit of certain collinear antiferromagnets, there exists a type of chiral "Dirac-like" fermion, whose dispersion manifests four-fold degenerate crossing points formed by spin-degenerate linear bands, with topologically protected Fermi arcs. Here, by combining with neutron diffraction and first-principles calculations, we suggest a multidomain collinear antiferromagnetic configuration, rendering the existence of the Fermi-arc surface states induced by chiral Dirac-like fermions.

被引用回数:21 パーセンタイル:82.38(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)A unique impact fracture behavior is found in a high-Mn austenitic steel (24Mn-4Cr-0.4C-0.3Cu) in this work. The steel exhibits concurrent twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) effect and the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect. By analyzing the load-deflection curves recorded during Charpy impact testing, the resistance to crack initiation and propagation is quantified from the absorbed energy. The high-Mn steel demonstrates good resistance to crack initiation at 273 K and 77 K. However, as the temperature decreases from 273 K to 77 K, there is an accelerated transition from stable crack growth to unstable crack growth during impact, resulting in the deterioration of resistance to crack propagation. The plastic deformation of the impact-tested samples, especially in the region close to the crack-path profile was quantitatively analyzed using neutron Bragg-edge transmission (BET) imaging. The deformation zones, divided by using the width of the 200 Bragg edge, exhibit good agreement with the impact absorbed energy characteristics obtained from dynamic load-deflection curves. Moreover, the unstable growth transition point was roughly determined on the impact-tested sample. Then, the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique is employed to examine the deformation microstructure along the crack-path in the impact-tested samples. The results revealed the dual roles of TRIP effect in impact toughness of the high-Mn steel. On one hand, the TRIP effect plays a positive role in improving resistance to crack initiation and propagation. On the other hand, the excessive accumulation of brittle

'-martensite caused by the enhanced TRIP effect at 77 K leads to quasi-cleavage fracture, thereby playing a negative role. Finally, we discussed the prominent toughening mechanisms associated with the TWIP and TRIP effects, which greatly impact the impact fracture behavior.

被引用回数:32 パーセンタイル:95.29(Engineering, Multidisciplinary)Recently, consistent meshfree particle methods have been intensively studied. It has been pointed out that numerical inaccuracy or instability could easily occur with incomplete or biased neighbor support. This study proposes a new meshfree particle method called the compact moving particle semi-implicit (CMPS) method to decrease the condition number. In the proposed CMPS, the first-order and second-order derivatives are discretized separately, enhancing the numerical stability significantly. By adopting a small dilation parameter of the compact support, the CMPS can remarkably improve accuracy and reduce computational costs. Formulations for zeroth-order, first-order, and second-order derivatives are derived, and various boundary conditions, e.g., Dirichlet and Neumann, are discussed. In order to better deal with complex free-surface flows using the CMPS, some new numerical techniques, i.e., optimized regularization and reconstructed particle shifting schemes, are also developed. Furthermore, the surface fitting method is extended to address the surface tension. A convergence study is conducted in complex geometry to verify the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of the CMPS. Then, second-order accuracy is confirmed using the Taylor-Green vortex problem. After that, numerical examples concerning various free-surface flows, including square patch, hydrostatic pressure, dam break, droplet oscillation, and droplet coalescence, are calculated to demonstrate the potential of the CMPS.
