摘要: Observations of interplanetary scintillation (IPS - the scintillation of compact radio sources due to density variations in the solar wind) enable the velocity of the solar wind to be determined, and its bulk density to be estimated, throughout the inner heliosphere. A series of observations using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR - a radio telescope centred on the Netherlands with stations across Europe) were undertaken using this technique to observe the passage of an ultra-fast CME which launched from the Sun following the X-class flare of 10 September 2017. LOFAR observed the strong radio source 3C147 at an elongation of 82 degrees from the Sun over a period of more than 30 hours and observed a strong increase in speed to 900km/s followed two hours later by a strong increase in the level of scintillation, interpreted as a strong increase in density. Both speed and density remained enhanced for a period of more than seven hours, to beyond the period of observation. Further analysis of these data demonstrates a view of magnetic-field rotation due to the passage of the CME, using advanced IPS techniques only available to a unique instrument such as LOFAR.

摘要: As the main detector of the GECAM satellite, the calibration of the energy response and detection efficiency of the GRD detector is the main content of the ground-based calibration. The calibration goal requires the calibrated energy points to sample the full energy range (8 keV-2 MeV) as much as possible. The low energy band (8-160 keV) is calibrated with the X-ray beam, while the high energy band (>160 keV) with radioactive sources. This article mainly focuses on the calibration of the energy response and detection efficiency in the 8-160 keV with a refined measurement around the absorption edges of the lanthanum bromide crystal. The GRD performances for different crystal types, data acquisition modes, working modes, and incident positions are also analyzed in detail. We show that the calibration campaign is comprehensive, and the calibration results are generally consistent with simulations as expected.

摘要: The X9.3 flare SOL20170906T11:55 was observed by the CsI detector aboard the first Chinese X-ray observatory Hard X-ray Modulation telescope (Insight-HXMT). By using wavelets method, we report about 22 s quasiperiodic pulsations(QPPs) during the impulsive phase. And the spectra from 100 keV to 800 keV showed the evolution with the gamma-ray flux, of a power-law photon index from $\sim 1.8$ before the peak, $\sim 2.0$ around the flare peak, to $\sim 1.8$ again. The gyrosynchrotron microwave spectral analysis reveals a $36.6 \pm 0.6 \arcsec$ radius gyrosynchrotron source with mean transverse magnetic field around 608.2 Gauss, and the penetrated $\ge$ 10 keV non-thermal electron density is about $10^{6.7} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ at peak time. The magnetic field strength followed the evolution of high-frequency radio flux. Further gyrosynchrotron source modeling analysis implies that there exists a quite steady gyrosynchrotron source, the non-thermal electron density and transverse magnetic field evolution are similar to higher-frequency light curves. The temporally spectral analysis reveals that those non-thermal electrons are accelerated by repeated magnetic reconnection, likely from a lower corona source.

摘要: The microstructural features and the effect of Mo addition during incubation period in FeCrNi austenitic alloy were investigated using positron annihilation technique and micro-Vickers Hardness. The electron irradiation, which could induce vacancy defects in material, was performed at room temperature up to the dose of 1.70-4 and 50-4 dpa, respectively. The defect concentration was estimated about 10-4-10-7 though standard trapping model. The added Mo could trap vacancies to form Mo-vacancy complexes, which may suppress the migration and growth of vacancy defects during electron irradiation. In addition, the microstructural evolution during electron radiation resulted in hardening, while the added Mo might to improve the hardening property of the alloy.

摘要: The effect of Cu content on the evolution of defects in Fe-x%Cu alloys (x= 0.15, 0.3, and 0.6) were investigated using Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy. The vacancy-type and Cu-vacancy complexes defects were respectively produced by quenching from 1173 K and cold-rolled deformation followed by isochronal annealing. The isochronal annealing results obtained by PALS showed that Cu-vacancy complexes delayed the complete recovery of vacancy-type defects and the complete recovery temperature increased with the content of Cu in 30% deformed Fe-Cu alloys. The increment of Cu content also restrained the migration of vacancies in as-quenched Fe-Cu alloys.

摘要: Tungsten has been selected as one of the potential candidate materials to cover some parts of the divertor in the future International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The accumulation of defects and He induced by neutron irradiation and their impact on the mechanical properties of tungsten are of very importance. In this work, the high pure polycrystalline tungsten samples were implanted by 200 keV He+ with a fluence of 5016 He+/cm2 at temperatures of room temperature(RT), 200, 400 and 800oC. Vacancy-type defects were detected in all implanted samples by means of positron annihilation spectroscopy. Vacancy-type defects produced by He implantation exist in the damaged layer and are decorated by He atoms. With increasing implantation temperature, more He atoms fill in the vacancy-type defects and make for the formation of larger defects. The nano-hardness values were measured by nano-indentation technique. It is observed that implantation hardening occurred for all the implanted samples. With increasing implantation temperature from 200 to 800 oC, the change of the average hardness values which are lower than the value at RT has a tendency of enhancement for the shallower layer and degradation for the deeper layer. The hardness variations are discussed to be the pinning effects of the defects with different density or size.

摘要: Cu precipitates played a key factor in irradiation induced hardening and embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel (RPV).In this work, two kinds of Fe-Cu model alloys with different Cu contents irradiated by Fe ion at 573 K were investigated using positron annihilation techniques and SEM. Doppler Broadening Spectroscopy(DBS) results indicated that with the irradiation dose increased from 0.1 dpa to 1.2 dpa, more vacancy-type defects were induced during Fe ion irradiation, and with different Cu contents, defects condition had few changes. Coincident Doppler Broadening (CDB) results indicated Cu precipitates were formed during the irradiation, which could be verified through the SEM results. The CDB results also showed that the Cu precipitates were the same at 0.1 dpa between the samples with different Cu contents. In Fe0.6Cu samples, more Cu precipitates were formed than that of Fe0.3Cu sample at 1.2 dpa.

摘要: The effect of isochronal annealing on vacancy-type defects in quenched FeCrNi alloys and SUS316 has been investigated by positron annihilation techniques. Vacancy-type defects gather and grow with the annealing temperature increasing to 523 K, and the vacancy-type defects annihilated gradually in FeCrNi alloys at the annealing temperature increasing. The results indicate that the addition of Mo and nonmetal elements is not the key reasons that determined the annihilated temperature of vacancy-type defects. It’s worth noting that the vacancy-type defects annihilated and dislocation-type defects formed in all sample alloys after 673 K annealing treatment. In addition, the density of defects in Mo diluted FeCrNi model alloy is lower than that in FeCrNi model alloy due to the Mo-vacancy complexes formed in Mo diluted FeCrNi model alloy. The long lifetime of vacancy-type defects in commercial stainless steel SUS316 is smaller than that in FeCrNi model alloys because the mobility of vacancy-type defects changed by nonmetal elements. In addition, vacancy-type and dislocation defects detected contribute to the S and W parameters of positron annihilation in the whole annealing treatment.
