The angular dependence of magnetization dynamics induced by a GHz range strain pulse

The dynamics of magnetization is important in spintronics, where the coupling between phonon and magnon attracts much attention. In this work, we study the angular dependence of the coupling between longitudinal-wave phonon and magnon. We investigated the magnetization dynamics using the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect, which allows measuring spin-wave resonances and the magnetic echo signal. The frequency, mode number, and amplitude of the spin-wave resonance change with the out-of-plane angle of the external magnetic field. The amplitude of the magnetic echo signal caused by the strain pulse also changes with the angle. We calculate these angular dependences based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and find that the angles of the external field and magnetic moment are important factors for the phonon-magnon coupling when phonon propagates in the thickness direction under the out-of-plane magnetic field.

Investigation of Floating Transportation Equipment for the Offshore Wind Power

This paper presents a floating transportation equipment (FTE) for the negative pressure suction bucket foundation (NPSBF) of offshore wind turbines, and the basic design and main transportation means are introduced. The hydrodynamic characteristics of integrated FTE-NPSBF structure are comprehensively studied. The ability of FTE as a transportation aid to provide stability for the NPSBF is verified, and the vibration reduction measures under the condition of wave resonance during the floating transportation process are given.

An Analysis of Kikuchi Lines Observed with a RHEED Apparatus for a TiO2-Terminated SrTiO3 (001) Crystal

In this study, electron diffraction patterns observed under high vacuum conditions for an SrTiO3 surface were interpreted in detail while paying special attention to the features of inelastic effects. The surface of the SrTiO2 was carefully prepared to enforce its termination with single domains of TiO2 layers at the top. The inelastic patterns were interpreted using analytical models. Two types of Kikuchi lines are recognized in this paper: those which can be described with the Bragg law and those which appear due to surface wave resonance effects. However, we also discuss that there exists a formal connection between the two types of the Kikuchi lines observed.

Determination of Reynolds shear stress from the turbulent mean velocity profile and spectral characteristics of Orr-Sommerfeld -Squire equations

Theoretically, based on a waveguide model, the expression of the tangential stress is formulated for steady, two-dimensional incompressible fluid flow over a flat plate in turbulent boundary layer. It is dependent on some factors, one of them, the behaviour of the last damping mode eigenvalues, and eigenfunctions, that are deduced from solution Orr-Sommerfeld equation by spectral Chebyshev collocation Method. Verification of the latter method is investigated by comparison the deduced formula of turbulent tangential stress with experimental data. In addition to, weight factors in this expression are connected to define the condition of dynamical system solution for multiple 3-wave resonance. This system is solved numerically, and the dynamic invariant is normalized to obtain the time average of the square modulus harmonic, and sub harmonics amplitudes by theorem Birkhoff-Khinchin. Comparison is made between the time-averaged and the phase average for the square modulus of harmonic, and sub harmonic amplitudes that defined on the unit sphere, in the state of multiple 3-wave resonance.

Acoustic tweezing of microparticles in microchannels with sinusoidal cross sections

Acoustic tweezing of bioparticles has distinct advantages over other manipulation methods such as electrophoresis or magnetophoresis in biotechnological applications. This manipulation method guarantees the viability of the bio-particles during and after the process. In this paper, the effects of sinusoidal boundaries of a microchannel on acoustophoretic manipulation of microparticles are studied. Our results show that while top and bottom walls are vertically actuated at the horizontal half-wave resonance frequency, a large mono-vortex appears, which is never achievable in a rectangular geometry with flat walls and one-dimensional oscillations. The drag force caused by such a vortex in combination with the tilted acoustic radiation force leads to trapping and micromixing of microparticles with diameters larger and smaller than the critical size, respectively. Simulation results in this paper show that efficient particle trapping occurs at the intermediate sinusoidal boundary amplitudes. It is also indicated that in a square-sinusoidal geometry there are two strong vortices, instead of one vortex. Sub-micrometer particles tend to be trapped dramatically faster in such a geometry than in the rectangular-sinusoidal ones.
