The parameters are closely related to the generation, emission, operation environment, and role of the electron beam and the corresponding medium. In this study, a field calculation method is proposed, and the electric field intensity distribution on the electron beam’s cross-section is analyzed. The characteristics of beam diffusion caused by the space charge effect are investigated in simulation, and the obtained data are compared with the experiment. The simulation demonstrated that the cross-sectional electric field distribution is primarily affected by the electron beam current, current density distribution, and electron beam propagation speed.展开更多

It is found that in helical two-stream electron beams the growth rate of the two-stream instability increases with the beam entrance angle. An SCW with the broad frequency spectrum, in which higher harmonics have higher amplitudes, forms when the frequency of the first SCW harmonic is much less than the critical frequency of the two-stream instability. For helical electron beams the spectrum expands with the increase of the beam entrance angle. Moreover, we obtain that utilizing helical electron beams in multiharmonic two-stream superheterodyne free-electron lasers leads to the improvement of their amplification characteristics, the frequency spectrum broadening in multiharmonic signal generation mode, and the reduction of the overall system dimensions.展开更多

It is shown that the SCW with a wide frequency spectrum is formed when the frequency of the first SCW harmonic is much lower than the critical frequency of the two-stream instability.Such SCW has part of the spectrum in which higher harmonics have higher amplitudes. We analyze the dynamics of the plural harmonic interactions of the growing SCW and define the saturation harmonic levels. We find the mechanisms of forming the multiharmonic SCW for the waves with frequencies lower than the critical frequency and for the waves with frequencies that exceed the critical frequency.展开更多

In order to study the effect of space charge on discharge propagation path, a new experimental system, including mainly DC high voltage generator, impulse voltage generator as well as rod-plane electrode, has been established. The space charge was generated around the rod by means of pre-applying DC high voltage, and the air gap dis- charge experiments were conducted with and without pre-applying DC high voltage, respectively. Meanwhile, high speed cameras worked simultaneously from the front and lateral side to record the discharge propagation path so as to obtain the curvature. After statistical analysis, it is shown that the curvature increases in the middle and lower portions of the propagation path when the effect of space charge is taken into account.展开更多

Due to the small scales, numerical modeling could contribute to the understanding of underlying phenomena as it provides access to local parameters--and complements experimental global characteristics. A self-consistent formalism, applied to nanosecond pulsed atmospheric non-equilibrium helium plasmas, reveals that several successive discharges can persist as a result of a combined volume and dielectric surface effects. The valuable insights provided by the spatiotemporal simulation results show the critical importance of coupled gas and plasma dynamics--namely gas heating and electric field reversals.展开更多

One of the ways to significantly increase the saturation level of the slow SCW is maintaining the conditions of a three-wave parametric resonance between the slow, fast SCWs and the resulting pump electric field. This can be done by introducing the quasielectrostatic support in the superheterodyne FEL amplification section. Also, it was found that the generated pump electric field significantly influences the maintenance of parametric resonance conditions. As a result, this increases the saturation level of the slow SCW by 70%. Finally, the quasi-electrostatic support significantly reduces the maximum value of the electrostatic undulator pump field strength, which is necessary to achieve the maximum saturation level of the slow SCW.展开更多

This review presents a spatially-resolved analysis by electron energy-loss spectroscopy of the GB chemical structures in a series of SrTiO3 bicrystals and a ceramic, using analytical electron microscopy of the pre-Cs-correction era. It has identified and separated a transient layer at the model Σ5 grain-boundaries（GBs） with characteristic chemical bonding, extending the continuum interfacial approach to redefine the GB chemical structure. This GB layer has evolved under segregation of iron dopant, starting from subtle changes in local bonds until a clear transition into a distinctive GB chemistry with substantially increased titanium concentration confined within the GB layer in 3-unit cells, heavily strained, and with less strontium. Similar segregated GB layer turns into a titania-based amorphous film in SrTiO3 ceramic, hence reaching a more stable chemical structure in equilibrium with the intergranular Ti2O3 glass also. Space charge was not found by acceptor doping in both the strained Σ5 and amorphous GBs in SrTiO3 owing to the native transient nature of the GB layer that facilitates the transitions induced by Fe segregation into novel chemical structures subject to local and global equilibria. These GB transitions may add a new dimension into the structure–property relationship of the electronic materials.展开更多

It is found that the ultra-high frequency acoustic signal introduced into the crystal is modulated by the low frequency acoustic waves. Its frequency increases with the increase of the intensity of incident light and its jump period of breakdown is the same as that of the photovoltaic current Ic, the change of light-induced refractive index △n and the diffracted light intensity L. This phenomenon has been analysed in this paper, which is caused by the inverse piezoelectric strain effect of the jump of space charge field during the quasi-breakdown.展开更多

Based on the analysis of scanning electron microscope （SEM） micrographs and current-voltage （I - V） curves, the variation of physical and chemical parameters of patterned and unpatterned substrates was found to be crucial to the understanding of the observations. Our results indicate that the initial surface morphology of samples can have a considerable influence upon pore formation. The electric-field effect as well as current-burst-model was employed to interpret the underlying mechanism.展开更多

As a result of variation in electric field intensity in the electrode gap, the ion flows towards electrodes generate non-uniform discharging pulses. Inspection of these pulses provides useful information on ionic stream kinetics, the effective thickness of ion cover around electrodes, and the timing of ion clouds discharge pulse sequences. A finite difference time domain （FDTD） based space-charge motion simulation is used for the numerical analysis of the spatio-temporal development of ionic flows following the first Townsend avalanche, and the simulation results demonstrate expansion of the positive ion flow and compression of the negative ion flow, which results in non-uniform discharge pulse characteristics.展开更多

The saturation behaviour of the field emission current density found at high electric field E cannot be reasonably explained by the traditional Fowler-Nordheim （F-N） theory. A three-region E model and the curve-fitting method are utilized for discussing the FE characteristics of NSCFs. In the low, high, and middle E regions, the FE mechanism is reasonably explained by a modified F-N model, a corrected space-charge-limited-current （SCLC） model and the joint model of F N and SCLC mechanism, respectively. Moreover, the measured FE data accord well with the results from our corrected theoretical model.展开更多

The Y3Fe5O12 ceramics annealed at 1 100 and 1 300 ℃ were successfully synthesized by a modified Pechini process. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and no impurity phase has been detected. The crystallite sizes of the YIG ceramics are calculated to be about 50 nm for TS=1 100 ℃ and 77 nm for TS=1 300 ℃, respectively. And Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) images show that the grain size is positively correlated with the sintering temperature. Application of the optical field leads to an appreciable tuning of the dielectric constant of the sample sintered at 1 100 ℃, which reaches up to 17.3% at 0.6 THz. Meanwhile the dielectric loss tangent of the sample sintered at 1 100 ℃ changes about 123.9%. On the contrast, both the dielectric constant and the loss tangent for the sample sintered at 1 300 ℃ keep invariable with the light excitation. These findings are attributed to space charges hopping among the grain boundaries excited by the external optical field.展开更多

文摘A theoretical study of the influence of a quasi-electrostatic support on the amplification level of the slow space charge wave(SCW) in the amplification section of a superheterodyne free electron laser(FEL) was carried out. One of the ways to significantly increase the saturation level of the slow SCW is maintaining the conditions of a three-wave parametric resonance between the slow, fast SCWs and the resulting pump electric field. This can be done by introducing the quasielectrostatic support in the superheterodyne FEL amplification section. Also, it was found that the generated pump electric field significantly influences the maintenance of parametric resonance conditions. As a result, this increases the saturation level of the slow SCW by 70%. Finally, the quasi-electrostatic support significantly reduces the maximum value of the electrostatic undulator pump field strength, which is necessary to achieve the maximum saturation level of the slow SCW.

This review presents a spatially-resolved analysis by electron energy-loss spectroscopy of the GB chemical structures in a series of SrTiO3 bicrystals and a ceramic, using analytical electron microscopy of the pre-Cs-correction era. It has identified and separated a transient layer at the model Σ5 grain-boundaries（GBs） with characteristic chemical bonding, extending the continuum interfacial approach to redefine the GB chemical structure. This GB layer has evolved under segregation of iron dopant, starting from subtle changes in local bonds until a clear transition into a distinctive GB chemistry with substantially increased titanium concentration confined within the GB layer in 3-unit cells, heavily strained, and with less strontium. Similar segregated GB layer turns into a titania-based amorphous film in SrTiO3 ceramic, hence reaching a more stable chemical structure in equilibrium with the intergranular Ti2O3 glass also. Space charge was not found by acceptor doping in both the strained Σ5 and amorphous GBs in SrTiO3 owing to the native transient nature of the GB layer that facilitates the transitions induced by Fe segregation into novel chemical structures subject to local and global equilibria. These GB transitions may add a new dimension into the structure–property relationship of the electronic materials.

Its frequency increases with the increase of the intensity of incident light and its jump period of breakdown is the same as that of the photovoltaic current Ic, the change of light-induced refractive index △n and the diffracted light intensity L. This phenomenon has been analysed in this paper, which is caused by the inverse piezoelectric strain effect of the jump of space charge field during the quasi-breakdown.

文摘Time-of-flight(ToF)transient current method is an important technique to study the transport characteristics of semiconductors.Here,both the direct current(DC)and pulsed bias ToF transient current method are employed to investigate the transport properties and electric field distribution inside the MAPbI_(3) single crystal detector.Owing to the almost homogeneous electric field built inside the detector during pulsed bias ToF measurement,the free hole mobility can be directly calculated to be about 22 cm^(2)·V^(-1)·s^(-1),and the hole lifetime is around 6.5μs–17.5μs.Hence,the mobility-lifetime product can be derived to be 1.4×10^(-4)cm^(2)·V^(-1)–3.9×10^(-4)cm^(2)·V^(-1).The transit time measured under the DC bias deviates with increasing voltage compared with that under the pulsed bias,which arises mainly from the inhomogeneous electric field distribution inside the perovskite.The positive space charge density can then be deduced to increase from 3.1×10^(10)cm^(-3)to 6.89×10^(10)cm^(-3)in a bias range of 50 V–150 V.The ToF measurement can provide us with a facile way to accurately measure the transport properties of the perovskite single crystals,and is also helpful in obtaining a rough picture of the internal electric field distribution.

文摘Via anodizing patterned and unpatterned samples with a high HF concentration （[HF]）, the degree of deviation from pore-formation theory was found to be markedly different. Based on the analysis of scanning electron microscope （SEM） micrographs and current-voltage （I - V） curves, the variation of physical and chemical parameters of patterned and unpatterned substrates was found to be crucial to the understanding of the observations. Our results indicate that the initial surface morphology of samples can have a considerable influence upon pore formation. The electric-field effect as well as current-burst-model was employed to interpret the underlying mechanism.

文摘A detailed understanding of anode heat transfer is important for the optimization of arc processing technology.In this paper,a two-temperature chemical non-equilibrium model considering the collisionless space charge sheath is developed to investigate the anode heat transfer of nitrogen free-burning arc.The temperature,total heat flux and different heat flux components are analyzed in detail under different arc currents and anode materials.It is found that the arc current can affect the parameter distributions of anode region by changing plasma characteristics in arc column.As the arc current increases from 100 A to 200 A,the total anode heat flux increases,however,the maximum electron condensation heat flux decreases due to the arc expansion.The anode materials have a significant effect on the temperature and heat flux distributions in the anode region.The total heat flux on thoriated tungsten anode is lower than that on copper anode,while the maximum temperature is higher.The power transferred to thoriated tungsten anode,ranked in descending order,is heat flux from heavy-species,electron condensation heat,heat flux from electrons and ion recombination heat.However,the electron condensation heat makes the largest contribution for power transferred to copper anode.
文摘This paper presents analyses of ion flow characteristics and ion discharge pulses in a sphere-ground plate electrode system. As a result of variation in electric field intensity in the electrode gap, the ion flows towards electrodes generate non-uniform discharging pulses. Inspection of these pulses provides useful information on ionic stream kinetics, the effective thickness of ion cover around electrodes, and the timing of ion clouds discharge pulse sequences. A finite difference time domain （FDTD） based space-charge motion simulation is used for the numerical analysis of the spatio-temporal development of ionic flows following the first Townsend avalanche, and the simulation results demonstrate expansion of the positive ion flow and compression of the negative ion flow, which results in non-uniform discharge pulse characteristics.

文摘The field emission （FE） characteristics of nano-structured carbon films （NSCFs） are investigated. The saturation behaviour of the field emission current density found at high electric field E cannot be reasonably explained by the traditional Fowler-Nordheim （F-N） theory. A three-region E model and the curve-fitting method are utilized for discussing the FE characteristics of NSCFs. In the low, high, and middle E regions, the FE mechanism is reasonably explained by a modified F-N model, a corrected space-charge-limited-current （SCLC） model and the joint model of F N and SCLC mechanism, respectively. Moreover, the measured FE data accord well with the results from our corrected theoretical model.

文摘The tunability of the terahertz dielectric spectra of Y3Fe5O12(YIG) ceramics under external optical field were investigated at room temperature by using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The Y3Fe5O12 ceramics annealed at 1 100 and 1 300 ℃ were successfully synthesized by a modified Pechini process. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and no impurity phase has been detected. The crystallite sizes of the YIG ceramics are calculated to be about 50 nm for TS=1 100 ℃ and 77 nm for TS=1 300 ℃, respectively. And Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) images show that the grain size is positively correlated with the sintering temperature. Application of the optical field leads to an appreciable tuning of the dielectric constant of the sample sintered at 1 100 ℃, which reaches up to 17.3% at 0.6 THz. Meanwhile the dielectric loss tangent of the sample sintered at 1 100 ℃ changes about 123.9%. On the contrast, both the dielectric constant and the loss tangent for the sample sintered at 1 300 ℃ keep invariable with the light excitation. These findings are attributed to space charges hopping among the grain boundaries excited by the external optical field.
